Metallica - Master of Puppets - Advanced Piano Cover (Arr. Yannick Streibert) 

Hey everyone! Edit: thanks to those claiming the amount of sustain is a bit too much. I am aware of it. The original song is quite staccato and dry. I tried to create something dark and did really not like how my cover sounded without the sustain (or even a bit less), at least in the way I wrote it. I guess it remains a matter of personal preference. Still, thanks for giving the video a chance! :) Original comment: My first piano arrangement ever, back from 2013. Inspired by Scott Davis and vkgoeswild. Since there was no sheet music of Scott's arrangement back then (his cover used to be the gold standard for me), I had to do my own thing. Vika's arrangement added to the darkness of the piece which inspired me in several passages. Throughout the years, I always rerecorded this cover but seing it today, I have never been satisfied with my recordings - outside of a nostalgic point of view. For me, this video is by far my best Metallica recording yet. It took me around a whole week to render it.

Not gonna lie, I've always heard metal got a lot of stuff from classical music. Which I get, but hearing this song on piano definitely made me see the classical roots in the song. Definitely dope af!!

When you are metal head but your patent bought a piano

You’re a musical genius. Not only did you play it greatly without fault for 9 minuets, you transcribed it too. That had to be a crazy thing to do. This was awesome and so worth the watch.

I never thought this song would work on piano, but on the contrary, it even made it sound much more evil. just throw in some strings and gut-wrenching latin vocals in there and it might even rival lacrimosa

Man, this is fabulous. The interlude & the solo was amazing, omg! You are AWESOME! ♥

3:46 So Beautiful ❤️

Kirk Hammett's solo on piano is just amazing and you played exceptionally well u just earned a new sub dude keep up the good work

This is ridiculously good! Godspeed Yannick!

I could hear the instrumental bridge and bridge all day

I have been saying for decades metallica will be considered classical music one day

DUDE!... MOST... CLASSICAL...EVEEEEER!

bro is the legend that replied to all 700 comments.

5:54 was the best part

BRO 5:56 WAS AWESOME!!! Can’t believe you managed that with one hand

The solos sound so good

holy crap the solo especially amazed me. how you were able to perfectly play kirk hammetts odd timing along with the main riff is beyond me

This was incredible, I genuinely am so happy this song sounds so fantastic on the piano

thats a masterpiece. its nice to see people spreading metal and showing it can be played in a lot different styles

Underrated masterpiece. 3:47

The fact that you're playing it FASTER than the original, is fucking incredible. I'm blown away. I've seen the woman playing it and she also crushes it. This song is obviously not meant for piano but GOD it's amazing. I'm a tad elevated sorry. This song slaps.

I didn't expect the piano version of this to make me head bang.

The amount of talent this takes is incomprehensible

I took this track to my local Bose dealer and had him play in one of their rooms for concert piano sounds and we sat on the couch. About 2 mins in the dealer turned the volume way up and it sounded amazing just amazing. When the song was over and we stood up and turned around the room was actually filled with other people who we didn't hear come in to listen all asking where this track could be found. Again I stand and applaud

That sounds epic and scary at the very same time

This is the most amazing instrument related thing I’ve seen on RU-vid. Actually no, it’s the most amazing thing I’ve seen on RU-vid in general. You are extremely skilled and this video needs to be extremely more popular

Absolutly perfect

bro is really schreddig on a piano

This cover would work perfectly for a teen mystery thriller type show/movie.

It's so unfair that you can't downstroke a piano but it makes me feel thankful that I play guitar

This is one of the best versions of master of puppets that I've ever heard. Thank you for this experience and for that I learned that metal is very similiar to classical music.

THIS IS THE BEST SHI IVE HEARD IN A WHILE

This is fckn impressive. Imagine having hard time playing it with the guitar yet this person just nailed it.

5:54 incredible!

This sounds surprisingly cool and beautiful! Great playing!

Tis' going to be the year of mine

Wow… just wow… that was amazing. 👏

Mama mia...hier geht's ja zur Sache🎹🔥👏......heftig heftig 👏

This deserves way more recognition

for some reason it reminds me of Wagner, or the accompaniment to a silent film... as always it sounds great, another bit of brilliance... keep em coming, my guy 🤘🤘🤘
