Hey everyone! Hope you enjoy this performance of the second Metallica cover I ever wrote - One. This one is back from 2013 and since the original video quality of my first video is quite bad, this definitely deserved a remake in 4K. Still one of my most exhausting covers, at least the final 3 minutes. Let me know your opinion and thanks for all your support ♥ All further information can be found in the description. Yannick
Please forgive my complete lack of ignorance, I absolutely LOVE Metallica, but know anything about music, are you only playing notes copied from the song, or are you also playing the spoken words as if they were notes?
Hi! Thanks for asking :) I try to keep my covers as close to the original as possible. So what I do is to buy the original score, use existing patterns, add my own style where it is needed and remove unplayable parts (like some drums parts). The voice melody is always included when I write a Metallica cover. So it is not just copying the original lines since it would sound super boring on the piano (but great in a band). If possible, I try to make the covers at least a bit virtuosic/advanced.
Try listening metal covers of classic music, there is a reason of why some people say that if Beethoven was born today, he probably would be a metalhead
To be honest, I have never heard a better cover of Metallica on piano. The only downside of the instrument is, that there is no way to really get the feel of the distorted guitars in there. Wish that would be possible. Brilliant playing!
When I was little, I just listened to and vibed to this song. Now that I'm an adult, it hits so hard that it will take me a lifetime to recover from the trauma caused by this song, ngl
Hey, just turned 13 year old here. I play piano and showed this to my piano teacher, now I’m learning and using this for my spring piano recital, I have the first 3 pages memorized but the rest is a train wreck 😂
Hi! First of all, happy (late) birthday! :) I feel really honored to know you're playing my cover. I hope to be able to hear it one day. Is there anything I can help you with?
@@YannickStreibert Thank you! After the recital I’m going to put it on my channel and it’s going pretty well, I’m just at the chorus (I’m a little slow) 😅
I can't remember anything Can't tell if this is true or a dream Deep down inside I feel to scream This terrible silence stops me Now that the war is through with me I'm waking up, I cannot see That there's not much left of me Nothing is real but pain now Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please, God, wake me Back in the womb it's much too real In pumps life that I must feel But can't look forward to reveal Look to the time when I'll live Fed through the tube that sticks in me Just like a wartime novelty Tied to machines that make me be Cut this life off from me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please, God, wake me Now the world is gone, I'm just one Oh God, help me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please, God, help me Darkness imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in myself Body my holding cell Landmine has taken my sight Taken my speech Taken my hearing Taken my arms Taken my legs Taken my soul Left me with life in hell
Metallica are so underrated for the orchestral pieces they write - One being a prime example but there are so many others. Thank you for treating it like the amazing composition that it is. Very well done! 🤟😎
I have performed this cover in front of an audience maybe 3-4 times I think? But not in a public place if you mean that, just in concert halls :) But I will if I ever find a public piano
Auch wenn dus wahrscheinlich schon oft hier gelesen bzw. gehört hast, aber das hast du unfassbar gut aufgebaut um Arrangement, wow!! Habe One noch nie in einem so starken und doch gefühlvollen Stil gehört. Danke! 💪
Absolutely breathtaking. Even knowing what was coming towards the end I was blown away by your playing of the solos. One of my all-time favourite songs, incredible cover
absolutely haunting.... beautiful as always my friend... switching between octaves for the 64th notes during the bridge is uber clever.... bravissimo 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Masterpiece It is incredible how the piano fits in the song, like it was meant to be played like that, not with a guitar. Congratulations, my man... keep doing an amazing work.
Thank you very much! Back when I wrote this cover, I did it as a request and could not imagine how to make it work on the piano at all, but came to the same conclusion as you did. :)
Cool Metallica cover Yannick! The music works so well without the loud guitars - a very beautiful vibe and an excellent performance. I subscribed - Marc Filmer (piano composer)
Great cover Yannick! This just happens to be my favorite song. I consider it the finest song ever written. By anyone. EVER. I know first hand how difficult Kirk's Machine Gun finishing solo is to play and you pulled it off beautifully.
I just found your channel after looking up the For Whom the Bell Tolls thinking "man that would sound good on piano." Now this has to be my favorite rendition on One ever done, even moreso than the origonal by metallica. Alice and Chains is another band I'd love to see you shred on piano, especially "Would?" by them.
i discovered your channel with the master of puppets cover, which was very good. i was waiting for this one, absolutely brilliant. keep up the good work
Holy shit man, I just saw your comment to me 2 days ago, and I immediately knew I had to watch it. This actually gave me chills. Your playing is so insanely good. You genuinely seem like one of the best music related youtubers, you dont do clickbait or stall for time to get ad revenue, you just get right into the song and you always play it so fucking well. Also you respond to every comment which is crazy. Keep it up man.
Thank you very much for your nice words❤️ btw, if you have Spotify: it is posted there as well. The audio might be better compared to a downloaded UA-cam video:)
Beautiful piano version. I can't help but think there is something special about the guiter though. This song really doesnt come accross the same with any other instrument.
This just blew me away. I have always loved this song and it translates so well in piano. You have such a gift and I thank you for touching my soul with it!!!! I would love it if you did an arrangement of Tori Amos! One of her more obscure pieces, like "Starling" or "Swim to New York State".
Hi David, thank you again! Very lovely from you to ask me about a cover, but I can sadly not really not take song suggestions - there is simply no time for it, sadly. I am happy to be able to post my own ideas once in a few months. UA-cam is not more than a hobby at this point, my main work prevents me from giving it more time. But I notet it and maybe one day I can take care of your request :)
i found this video after watching the show "lucifer" in the episode he played a wonderful rendition of "the unforgiven" so the sheer coincidence of hearing two amazing piano metallica covers in one day is insane
Bravo! I hadn't listened to this song for a long time, as many fans I grew tired of it and didn't expect to last past the first 30s here, but I ended up absolutely loving the whole thing. Beautiful work!
La parte del caos cuando se pone pesada la canción me encanto no se siente lo mismo que la original pero te deja esa sensación de que todo es caos al buen estilo de el piano lo ame ❤
@@YannickStreibert For how long are you playing mate? At which age did you start? I bought an e-piano 1year ago and started playing as 43 years old man. Progress is slow, but I love it! Trying to learn some iconic film music like "He's a pirate" or the Westworld theme.

Frayed Ends of Sanity next please.
One day maybe. that song would be amazing, yes
Never thought heavy metal could be played on a piano, but you have proved that to be wrong. Thank you for posting this masterpiece.
Thanks for watching it! And for leaving your feedback :)
Of course,
Try listening metal covers of classic music, there is a reason of why some people say that if Beethoven was born today, he probably would be a metalhead
To be honest, I have never heard a better cover of Metallica on piano. The only downside of the instrument is, that there is no way to really get the feel of the distorted guitars in there. Wish that would be possible. Brilliant playing!
Thank you very much! I feel honored. And yes, I agree on your opinion regarding distortion. I have to work around it as much as I can.
It would be possible to do distortion sounds with a keyboard tho' :-)
Mic up the piano and run it thru a distortion pedal.
Keyboard with guitar sound and pedal. Tada
Not coming close, in my opinion. I have tried several sounds on different keyboards, never been convinced.
Never seen someone shred a piano before but here I am. Fantastic cover.
Thank you very much! ♥
When I was little, I just listened to and vibed to this song. Now that I'm an adult, it hits so hard that it will take me a lifetime to recover from the trauma caused by this song, ngl
Metal. The only genre group that can sound like an actual 1800s composer wrote it on piano.
The world deserves more masters like Yannick Streibert to save the world with their covers. This is extremely beautiful!
Thanks so much, Natt. That was very nice ♥
The best ballad metallica ever put out
I had no idea how much I needed to listen to this
I'm hsppy you did😊

@@YannickStreibert will do, thank you! 😊
Thanks for making the cover! 😃
I’m a metal head that plays guitar but I’m also a pianist so I can appreciate this very nice cover
Thank you very much, Tristan!
Same dude
that harmony solo on a paino sounds unbelievable wow
Thanks a lot :)
I have never headbanged to a piano solo before today. Thank you sir
@@dankfrank8708 thank you as well!😊
I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or a dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me
Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there's not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me
Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me
Now the world is gone, I'm just one
Oh God, help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, help me
Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell
Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell
I just can say... WOW😳. I never thought that a masterpeace like this has a piano cover that is... Perfect🫡
Thank you very much :)
I never thought Dark Piano Metallica would be something I love to bits but here I am.
Happy you found my video👍
Its like cheese
5:58 insane
This is beautiful, and the first half almost brought a tear to my eye with how well it was played.
Thanks so much!
Metallica are so underrated for the orchestral pieces they write - One being a prime example but there are so many others.
Thank you for treating it like the amazing composition that it is.
Very well done! 🤟😎
Thank you very much for your feedback ♥
As a fan of the the keys, and this song being one of the most beautiful instrumentations ever imo, you did this beyond Justice.
Loved every second.
Thank you very much, it means a lot!
Did the song beyond justice but maybe, just maybe…. Justice For All.
The piano really is the composer's instrument.
Never thought i would viciously headbang to piano
That riff 😩 🔥
I'm exhausted just watching that. Wild version but everything you'd expect is there in the arrangement. Very impressive
Thank you very much! It's quite challenging to play, but so much fun :)
My God, you're ridiculous and I love it. Please keep making these because I can't help but be in total, utter awe when you play.
Thank you very much! ♥ I will keep them coming :)
This was brilliant. Im a 46 yr old metal head that loves metallica. This is great. Thanks for sharing this with us all. You have amazing talent.
Thank you very much for your feedback!
I love it, thank you so much🤘🏽🫶🏽❤❤❤
For some reason I knew You would cover One. Stunning performance and arrangement, I wanted actually a playable one for so long! Respect!
Thank you very much! ♥ will you try to play it?
@@YannickStreibert once I finish my Nothing Else Matters cover, I'll definitely try!
@@LeinadFromMarssorry, I forgot: will you post it?
@@YannickStreibert I may post it, not sure yet but I think I most likely will
Alright, let me know!
Such a wonderful arrangement 😍 Metallica on piano is so beautiful :)
Thank you very much ♥
Amazing work, very epic and powerful! Your efforts paid off!
Thank you very much, also for helping with the visuals :)
Even though i never heard the original song but this sounded surprisingly beautiful. The particles were beautiful as well. ❤️
Hi Iam, thank you very much!♥️
The original song is so good especially the guitar solo it’s iconic
I totally agree!
because you need to listen!
Земля пухом мистеру Чаку. Человек был с душой, большинство его песни были о людских проблемах. Спасибо за чудесный кавер
Please play this in public 🙏🙏 I’d love to see people’s reaction to this masterpiece of a cover!!

I've tried to learn this on piano, and it is MUCH harder than it looks. I am amazed by you, Yannick. Please, keep doing whatever you're doing!
Thanks a lot for your feedback! And thanks so much for learning my cover. I feel honored
That's the least I can do, to pay respect to you! Amazing cover.
Absolutely breathtaking. Even knowing what was coming towards the end I was blown away by your playing of the solos. One of my all-time favourite songs, incredible cover

absolutely haunting.... beautiful as always my friend... switching between octaves for the 64th notes during the bridge is uber clever.... bravissimo 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thanks so much, it means a lot ♥
Holy moly. That is absolutely amazing. 😍😍. What a cover. Thx a lot
im speechless
Thank you very much ❤️
In fact this version is even better than the first one, just favorite this as well!
Thanks again for watching and your feedback, Gabriel! This version is slightly more refined than my original performance, but just in the solo :)
You def did this song Justice (for all...)
Thank you! :)

Thanks for your feedback! I changed some parts in order to make it a bit calmer at the beginning :)
DAAAAMN THE SOLOS!

Pleaseee Fade to Black next!!!
Awesome playing!
