NEW! Follow me on Twitch and request songs - I'll play them LIVE for you: / frankiesimon
As requested, a transcription (what I have in front of me in the video) : www.dropbox.co...
My Facebook page: / frankiethepianist
Heavyweight by Infected Mushroom, from "Vicious Delicious".
This one was a great challenge, mostly because of the length of the song (since I wanted a single take, if I made a mistake in the 6th minute I had to start again!) and the many different parts I had to transcribe. I hope it makes Infected fans happy, but not only them. :)
If you like what you hear/see, I'm selling a collection of my piano covers here: bit.ly/PianoOne
This song was recorded as a part of a crowd-funded requests project, and requested first by Matan Melamed who was later joined by other curious people. Thanks Matan! :)
Recorded 06/02/2013 at Mitzlol Studios, Tel-Aviv. www.mitzlol.com

As much as I love the original version by Infected Mushroom, I also feel the need to come back to this from time to time. Can't believe this video is close to being 10 years old.

Having such an immensely unique approach to musical composition of such consistently supreme creativity & quality, Infected Mushroom demonstrates a level of pure genius that transcends any reasonable expectation of having their music properly covered with any serious degree of justice. And yet, here we have this video proving otherwise - and on a mere piano, no less. Absolutely incredible. Respect and admiration to the max. Bravo!

I can not believe I am saying this but your cover is absolutely better then both his performances. You are the only person I can find on the internet with the level of pure talent he has. Please dont stop this, please keep making infected mushroom covers. P.S. You may also love listening to songs by artists as primus, ween, and savant. I sure do
