Muse, really? From what I've heard (and yes, that is limited to the MTV airplay) they suck.

@Nervel: Well, I guess that's a matter of opinion.I wasn't to found at them at first either, but I grew into them and I now consider one of the best band I listen to. They have nice piano and bass lines and is a very skilled band IMO. If you decide to give them a chance then I recomend The albums "Absolution" and "Origin Of Symmetry".

muse is one of those bands that you a) either like. b) dis like, or c) dont know. if you love, or like dream theater, then you might like muse. they have some stuff in common(sound wise). so yeah...



oh and, i'm recording some emotional piano song right now. once i'm done with it, i'll send it to you.

Oh, I almost forgot! Try Soul takers if you want some good piano. They are a italian atmospheric that uses alot of classical piano. Here is some samples:

And their website: http://www.soultakers.net/
while you're at the site I suggest that you check out the samples of Federica's(the pianist) solo album.

EDIT: For some more of Federica's works, check:

Ye sit was that song ist emotional piaon opening or something and tenre was soemthing about wine

yes i think so. Journey seem to have several songs in that line, emotional piano.

@Kariasakis7: Belive me, muse do have some emotional stuff, but I guess that is matter of opinion...

For a more jazzy feeling of piano I strongly recomend Yuki Kajiura's song "Lullaby"

Well almoust all Jornej songs are emeotional, even those where cant hear piono so much,
Thays why I lobe Jorney, even if it isnt metal, but thos eemotionals hat thay give into muisc, thats wounderfull

I like them too, i love his voice.

You should also try something by Michel Petrucciani (Jazz) and by Michael Nyman.

- By Nyman I recommend The Heart Asks Pleasure First OST of The Piano. I love it very much!
- By Petrucciani..mhm..maybe something from Solo Live

And...what about Wim Mertens' Struggle For Pleasure ?

Try this amazingly emotional band called Embraced, particularly their debut album "Amorous Anathema" is what you might like if you're into piano overdose madness. The intro to "Memento of Emotions" and the ending of "Dirge of the Masquerade" are really really sweet. I also recommend the song called "Putrefaction" off their follow-up "Within". All in all this is really an unique band and if I was asked to label them somehow, I would say they are progressive symphonic black metal. I hope you can stand the vocals though, I'm sure they remind most people of Dani Filth. It isn't nearly as horrible, but in the same style anyways.

Someone mentioned the Arcturus album Sham Mirrors, try that one too if you already haven't. There's an amazing piano passage in the closing song "For to End Yet Again".

Try the song Till Dagmar by Evergrey, I think it's great!

not metal, but have you tried Diana Krall ? Besides beautiful, she kicks ass in the piano

Yes she plays good I like her songs but this tread are about nit metal songs

You heard Lazarus by Porcupine Tree?

That's possibly my favourite song ever.

Read the first post...ANY music gengre is acceptable, as long it has emotional piano parts in it

The frontman from Ben folds five is amazing at playing piano and incorporates his abilites quite well into alt. rock. Nice happy/emotional stuff.

A song Otherwheres in Lake Of Tears's Forever Autumn uses piano, the Glory To The Brave's HammerFall does same. The Cradle Of Filth track Suicide And Other Comfort... has very emotion piano.

Im really interested in the piano melody which Navy captain played, it deserves to highly recommend

Check out second Eluvium work. The other ones that are much more ambient/drone are good too.

Leaving the metal scene a bit, you should check out chopin's compositions for piano. i'm sure you'll find something you like, he's one of my fav classical composers, specially because of his piano pieces

Richard Clayderman, good pianist too.

There's a good metal piano part in Paths by Be'lakor. Be'lakor has a lot of good piano parts. Also, Kalisia has a very good piano solo in Cybion, track A-4, Awkward Decision. Protest the Hero has a lot of great parts for piano too. My favorite is the Bone Marrow outro from their latest, Fortress.

Getting off of metal stuff, there's Meatloaf. His album Bat out of Hell is a classic rock 'n roll album, one of my first. The title track is amazing. Also, Simon and Garfunkel's Sound of Silence is really good.

Some Sigur Ros' songs are incredibly moving too, I'm referring especially to Vaka and Samskeyti, I can't hold my tears when I listen to these masterpieces.

Ever heard Jacques Loussier???
he's not metal but he plays jazz with classic old stuff...it's pretty nice

Agreeing with Tori Amos, although I recommend sticking to her first 3 albums. She's mellowed out with age, the music isn't bad on the newer albums, but it just isn't as powerful. Vienna Teng has some good songs as well in a similar vein.

Try out some piano pieces from soundtracks by Yuki Kajiura and Yoko Kanno, both of these composers make beautiful music in general.
