Phil was bad on heroin then, and anyone that knows anything about opiates knows that it absolutely destroys your vocal range. Phil did what he could. I'm just glad he's doing better now. Such an iconic hero in music. Phil and Layne, as far as I'm concerned were equally as great and innovative. Much respect should be given to Pantera and Alice in Chains for opening doors for metal music. Too bad no one has actually traveled through those open doors. lol
Layne's voice is unique, You can't replicate it. I like this but only because I listen to it from a new perspective in that I know it won't sound like Layne.
wtf ever. i like pantera but no, this is bad. and if this was william duvalle you guys would say this sounded like shit. same with hetfield.. they both sound worse but since they were in popular bands "OH I LIKE IT YEA" wtf ever this is bad. but kudos for trying and paying respects to layne.
You obviouslyn have no taste in music by far! Layne Stanley was a good vocalist but NOT a great frontman! Philip Anselmo does better than EVERYBODY else!
back in the day like pantera cowboys or vulgar days phil would have nailed this performance it sucks that he gave up his talent for stupid shit like drugs and underground bands that had nothing compared to pantera but i still like him just wish he would have kept his head on straight
The sad thing is, Phil Anselmo circa 1992 would've NAILED this song--he had amazing vocal range back then. Sucks that he ripped his vocal chords to shreds instead of taking proper care of his voice. He used to be able to hit any note, from a growl to a Halford-esque shriek.
not a bad performance... im a pantera fan ...no offense but certain songs just arent the same without the original singer- ive heard many people do an Ozzy song- same here-its just not the same
Yeah and if you ever listen to Down Phil has an absolutely incredible voice, but again the vocal patterns and style is so different it's hard to compare.
Phil has an incredible freaking voice. It's not layne but it's way better than that James Hetfield car crash version...Nothing against him it's just not his cup of tea.
Phil nailed layne really few times, but his voice makes the band sound TOO "metal"..i duno laynes voice is magic..he was irreplacebale....god i miss him so much.glad to see jerry still fukin it up out there tho--he kiks so much ass =D and more or less good job phil, but maynard might be better...i saw them with DuVall...it was ok-but its really the music and jerry that makes it ok. like i said laynes voice is laynes voice but i glad they keep goin as tribute
GeeZ, I was so excited til I heard the guy sing. Nice try though. I don't think he tried to replace Layne but whatever it was he was trying to do failed. No need for that.The magic and the music of AIC w/LAYNE STALEY will live on forever no matter what.Don't deface it ! Rest In Peace L.Staley.
fuckin god, what the fuck is wrong you fucks, nobody is tryin to "replace" or "show him up" they sing his songs as a tribute, wow are you poeple that dumb, im aic's greatest fan, i love layne's voice, but i think pantera's singer did a great job, next id like to god smack's lead guy play with aic
thats PHIL ANSELMO bro, singer of one of the greatest bands in the world, PANTERA, and for your book dude..pantera and AIC were great buddies
thats why they did this tribute, and another thing...dude how come you said "gonna have to copy Layne" no, nobody can copy Layne, no true musician wouldn't even think on do that...that's why you listen to AIC and next you fucking listening to AFI, you fag
That was tough to listen to. It could be done but your gonna have to copy Layne or it just won't work. Sad but true! R.I.P. Layne...ur not left behind
this was pretty bad. but you know what, i cant blame the rest of the band. these were songs that practically embodied a generation. i always felt like the cool kids listened to nirvana and the real music fans listened to AIC. I cant really blame the other three for trying to play their music one last time. disrespectful? maybe. but it wasnt exactly cool to have layne die for anyone...
pretty ciool. i heard rumors of phil a with aic, didnt know it was true until know. i also heard the vocalist for jerrys solo stuff was the singer for aic.
this is alright, i actually think the kravitz looking guy is pretty good...but maynard james keenan does an awesome job on them bones and man in the box.
Yeah a few guys did a pretty good job. But Layne did a great job. To me it is disrespectful to get back together and make music with your "Lead Vocalist", especially in a band like Alice in Chains. Does anyone agree with me? R.I.P. Layne you are forever missed.
after listenin to Mini adn papa het adn now philly boy....well...they all kindda suck compared to Staley...!!!......o well.......thats why they shoulda never made a reunion thingie...!!!.........PEAC EOUT
he sucks. layne is the only 1
