David Cook covers "Man in the Box"

[TheSuziemojo]

David Cook has one of the best voices!

[07donegan]

Not a big David Cook fan but I am an Alice In Chains fan and I'm gonna say he did a really good job. Everyone who says he didn't needs to accept that just because he was an American Idol contestant, doesn't mean everything he does is shitty. He's very talented, not exactly on my spectrum of music, but he did a lot better than some.

[mimichic360ali]

hated it .... stop playing this song i cant even make it 5 mins. listening to him .... david cook is a joke of a singer ...i think layne is looking down wondering what the hell this douche seriously needs to stop trying to be me and singing my song... thats all i have to say about that

[Vigilante606]

I DO NOT LIKE THE NEW SINGER FOR AIC.......................AT ALL. I know it has nothing to do with this but Idk. I felt it should be said

[cainanuk]

Holy shit! When he hit the chorus... my jaw dropped.

[UBConquered]

Not quite the same tone, but he did an awsome job

[tallblondie16]

this is actually good..

[thatwasbuttery171717]

I bet layne would win fucking american idol, but american idol is for wannabes.

[relliz123]

@thatwasbuttery171717  lol u mean american IDIOT

[bigboss25262]

He just pretty much screams his way through the chorus. Not very impressive. Doesn't sound great. it's alright i guess.

[paulamitchell85]

@bigboss25262 HATER!

[SXGi1b0]

@bigboss25262 Agree...can hardly hear the vocals but from what I can hear seems quite, well, average, like you said.

[DisposableHeros423]

Watching Metallica and this was in the suggestion list lol...... David cook is great I saw him on his first tour.

[toddcochran85]

Never heard anyone actually do Man in the Box well except for this.

[123kmag123]

@toddcochran85 Dude, I stumbled across this cover, and actually like it better than the original /watch?feature=player_embedded­&v=7U_4f7tneYE

[MellenBerger]

cool version......

[curikit]

Wow, that guy can wail. Love it.

[NirvanaInChains1994]

Thats pretty fuckin close to layne! damn, i never thought i would enjoy listening to an american idol winner.

[JosefStalinbro]

I wonder if any of those teenage girls know the lyrics, let alone the song....... amazing cover though. Layne looks down from Heaven half impressed and half confused.

[FabioFalzarano]

very good

[sexykitten0627]

I am fuckin' blown away!!! I think David Cook, my friend Tom from Craving Chaos, Sully Erna, and Alice In Chains are pretty much equal on the voices and the band as well. :) I love David. OMG!!!!

[KM042]

@sexykitten0627 Oh yeah, Sully does an awesome version of this as well! What a voice!!

[dudelikesWoW]

O_O For once, I can say that I have respect for someone on American Idol.

Yeah, this is good...I can tell because I have the urge to headbang...

[GoodGuitarSolos]

Fantastic vocal cover.

[MrBrownismyname]

couldn't the fans just shut the fuck up and listen to the song ? suck a cock or sth

[MetalheadzVal]

@MrBrownismyname bitches ain't there for the music man, they're trying to get his attention to get backstage and blow him. Hence you can never hear SHIT in these live videos because of them -.-

[JedidiahRosetta]

if he were ever to do a studio recording of this as a song that inspired him then that would be something I'd listen to,he can hit the chorus and this is still pretty rocking,nearly as rocking when AiC did it live

[LPnRockmusic]

When I read the tittle I was like, shit David Cook is gonna sluaghter an amazing AIC song. I listened, and am pleasently surprised...he can actually hit the chorus!

[tanjicca]

Wow, not bad he actually hit the chorus :-))) There is nobody who can touch Layne Staley, but respect to this one. I´m coming from Germany - as I understood this is a guy who was competing on American Idol (wtf lol)?!? Did he sing any of the AIC songs there?

[ORIGINALXEMPIRE702]

sir ..... sir you can go fuck yourself

homage my ass more like homo

[winstonlab]

Nobody can hit the chorus. He can hit the chorus.

[Santeria231]

I bet none of those girls even know who AIC are

[BrickUnit]

@Santeria231 hahaha ikr, dumb bitches

[SMK715]

Not to mention his pre-idol solo album Analog Heart. That, in my opinion, is the best CD he ever made and the best CD I own

[SMK715]

So there you go youtube community. Next time you want to bad talk David Cook, go read up on him first. And after you do, you can bow down and suck his cock. Also, go listen to his high school/college band - Axium. They made 3 albums, im sure you will find something you like

[SMK715]

Last time I checked, The Beetles were and still are one of the most popular bands in the history of music. And just a heads up for all of you saying if he sang for a different band he would be huge.. get your facts right. Before american idol he sang back up vocals and played guitar for a band called Midwest Kings. He went back to that band after winning idol, only he and the original lead singer, andy skib, traded places. And whoever said he has no vibrato - get your ears checked faggot

[SMK715]

Everybody giving this song bad comments, you make no fucking sense. He isn't trying to be Layne, first of all. His name is David Cook and he's singing a song from a band that inspired him. Also, he can't be too bad seeing how he won americas vote on one of the most watched shows in the world. Oh and does everyone know that he had 13 songs from his debut album make it on the billboard top 100? That's something nobody else has done since The Beetles.

[KM042]

Holy Hell that is a hot one! Love DC and AIC.

[nachtaktiv86]

Holy Shit!!

I hate Idol shows but Respect, he kept it real!

What a set of lungs.......

I sing and play also, I thought I was good and pull of a great cover of this, but WOW! He really drove the song home!

But another side point the band were also ace, and the backing singer ripped it up on the vocal part.. really really ace cover!

I can see this ending up like that film rockstar with Mark wahlberg, he will be the next singer in Alice in chains!

Perhaps I watch too much TV??

Well Done!!

[ShaytardFan312]

My school is 100 feet away from Pearl Street I walked there durring school and waited for 3 hours for him to get there and I got a hug i was crying and shaking and even though it was sold out he let me get in for free I was right infront of him it was the best night of my LIFE!!!!

[AsurorusA]

Burried in my SHIT! instead of pit .. Nice

[rawkgawdez]

ive never been attracted to this man....but damn! hes hot singin AIC! good job dave.

[nehnehmjfan22]

Man, when I went to see David Cook about a year ago, I didn't even know what this song was. Afterwards when I met back up with my family (I got lucky- some lady gave me a ticket for the front row!) my mom was totally freaking out about how David Cook sang her favorite song. When I told her I had never heard it before, she pretty much stared at me in disbelief for the rest of the night.

I hate how these things happen- I would've totally appreciated that concert more had it happened this December

[noname91910]

I'm more surprised the people in the stage knew the lyrics of the song...

[planBist]

not 1 dislike

[mathewmassacre]

I checked out some of your videos. Their Great, if you could check out some of my videos.. I have a contest comming up.. thanks

[shenderson420]

no shit. fucking impressed

[seanuvan]

This gives me hope that maybe rock isn't dead

[motokyle1988]

this guy blows

[ShaytardFan312]

@motokyle1988 OK DUDE SHUT UP HE IS A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN YOU ARE SO............GO DIS YOURSELF!

[bootylover827]

This guy cannot sing this fucking song? Am i the only one who hears his fucking suckiness?! WTF, how is this at all impressive, he just screams right through the vocals and chorus no fucking vibrato. Stop wasting ur time and go watch the real deal. LMAO.

[theInimitablePip]

little ameriKKKan idolatry pussy.

whattapunk.

Duz NOT deserve 2 cover AIC.

--The BLACK Whole...IZ EV'RYWHERE!{ ( 8K

[krkgak]

Clearly David Cook has good taste in music, but his songs don't appeal to me at all. His original songs are nothing like the covers he chooses. Too bad...

[Milesback1]

dam he should be in AiC not duvall

[tuterc12]

awesome, check out my acoustci version!!

[maroto8]

for me... maynard james keenan did the best vocal cover for this song... but this guy can hit the notes...

[audyaly247]

el is mucho caliente!!

omg hes so HOT

ahhhhhhhhhhh

[legoclonefreak1231]

love him love him love him love him love him love him love him

[evlmstr]

too bad this guy ended up on idol. he couldve made a great rock band, still can/should

[AIC4life47]

Decent cover. Solo was pretty good, but The guitarist has nothing on Jerry Cantrell. All in all I give it a thumbs up.

[CisforCock]

well actually i have to say this is the closest to layne i have ever heard, right after layne himself of course.

[DrThunder2021]

Love David Cook. Love his voice, his style, voted the heck outta him when he was on idol. But I'll say the same thing about him I say about Daughtry; I wish he would go and front man a real band. He's got the pipes, the skills, he could really rock.

[DavidCookLover1111]

i love this song, good job DC<3.

[stupidcommentreply]

Well, he does a better job than the current AIC singer, that is for sure.

[pricha24]

i started watching this thinking that this dude was a hack and would in NOWAY be able to pull this cover off...being the UBER AIC fan that I am, I am nonetheless pretty impressed...this dude can wail on the vocals. I think Layne would have been impressed.

[ahhmyeye]

Why did you zoom on the bassist during the guitar solo?

[haleyandjen]

He did a cover of Alice in Chains... i fucking love this man.

[kirbyowner12]

Not even close to Layne but not bad I guess.

[hcallahan44]

this guy can blow

[raquel1234ful]

hes really good

[resuenamininiez]

maybe he's a good singer but all the girls yelling and some comments i've read made me quit the video.

Put yourself together and stop being such a horny bitch.

[mermcc]

agreed the screaming is damn annoying.

[Marcia7241]

me too... >)

[doedaphna]

oh i love that so much!

[gecisfos]

nice cover!

[mtthmsn]

dave-fucking superb dude, call me up and we'll jam again sometime-i'm gonna be out of town until september, but hit me up dude, we'll do something. don't bring jerry this time. he's fuckin lame.

[safetosaydontquoteme]

uh, layne could fucking beat down david cook with his voice anyday.

[doedaphna]

Its not a competition its an Homage.. David is a fan of Layne as well...

[HungarianMafioso]

Hah, funny...

[LilC2012]

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!

[GeorgiaPat]

For me, it's always been the arms.....Sigh...

[doubletrouble2t]

I friggin looooooove his arms!!!!!

[twiztidjuggalettee]

i just had like 238743985t643056 orgasms. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[CookifiedTexan]

Mother of all that is holy, that man was on FIRE that night. This is the only cover he does that I haven't witnessed yet. I'm still holding out hope. Great quality video! Thanks!

[cookieidol]

this was an awesome performance. i wish i was that microphone so DC can be up on me like that. :P

[JuLeeSC]

I literally cannot catch my breath after watching that! I thought they performed MitB best in Athens on May 4th until I saw this. You guys got a real scorcher that night! That was ridiculously hot!

[mermcc]

nice vid...would have been nice to see Neal's guitar solo.

[doedaphna]

this is so good. realy. high class.

and..... just look at his mouth from 4:48 til 5:12

im dying hear....

ohhhhhh

[ItsMsDarcy]
