@pschodoughboy lol I much of rather seen john kosco as the lead singer instead of duvall and maynard has 3 bands already and a vineyard think he is just a little to busy with his own projects to in jerry cantrell's
@EvilassProductions, I always thought that Maynard recorded Eulogy using a bullhorn through a microphone. Being as Jesus talk to crowds of people at a time, I thought it was a nice touch. There are recording effects that simulate that sound. Unless you're talking about those little vocal "sounds" at the very beginning, that could be a talk box. I'd have to listen to it again. Good observation though...
Did you know that Staley has sung with Maynard on several occasions. I only wish I was at those live shows. My 2 most favorite band. I don't know which one I love more... so they tie for first and then soundgarden take the next spot.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Never liked tool !! Such a poser band !!! What I mean by that is all the peeps who didnt like nirvana and Alice n chains end up liking tool , and thats okay , but to say they are better than everybody else ? That they have more creativity or talent is just making yourself look like an idiot !!! Every track tool made it almost sounds like it could be really good but than maynard starts singing !!! Bluuaghh !!!!
I think it is awesome. Basically he has the second mic hooked up to something similar to a guitar pedal which changes his voice. So he can A. sing normal, B. sing distored/different, and C. BOTH AT THE SAME TIME!
@EvilassProductions@megustatocar420 It's called a talk-box, and it's a great little invention that allows your voice and your guitar to sort of blend into one by distorting each other. I'd recommend "Rocky Mountain Way" by Joe Walsh; he's a former member of the Eagles, so not exactly very heavy, but towards the end of the song he has a talk-box solo which absolutely DEFINES talk-box solos. The device was still fairly unused in music at the time, and it still is, but it's great.
@GodofReapers I know about talk-boxes. I am pretty sure this isn't a talk box, because their is no tube. He has too mics and the tube is what makes the sound similar to talking. Plus I don't think you could sing very well with a tube in your mouth (because he will sing through both mics at the same time)
I know all about Joe Walsh. They are all great. Peter Frampton of course used one all the time too. Alice in Chains - Man in a box used one.
Cobain sounded like he was throwing up marbles. Nothing compares/or is better then MJK's voice. Tool, Perfect Circle, and even puscifer(which was just made cause all the followers would buy it no matter what) remains the best bands created and will always inspire people through their music and lyrics. MJK is the best of all time.
@BJZnRPZ no...they wont ever be in stores. I live very close to the winery. Thats the only place you can get it, unless someone sells it privately online or something.
@BJZnRPZ I think it is only exclusive in whole foods. I tried to get a bottle from there but they say they are really limited. He actually did a signing in whole foods in my town.

chris cornell is awesome, and slaves and bulldozers is one of my favorite songs (and kudos to you for recognizing soundgarden's best song - unlike everyone else), but chris' range is great on the high side! layne could hit nearly as high as chris, and much much lower. that is range. i think you are mistaking the ability to hit the higher notes with range!
i am not detracting from maynard's singing ability, and he has great range (on the higher end). i'm just saying that layne had the widest range of possibly any rock singer in history.
maynard has probably the clearest, prettiest voice of any rock singer ever, but layne's voice had more range than anyone else's! i miss him for sure!!!! maynard certainly doesn't have lane's range, and lane certainly couldn't sing some of the highs in opiate or undertow where maynard really wails! but they both are one of a kind voices!
@urbngrla although i may not agree with what you say sir. i will defend to the death your right to say it. anyways... maynards range is not to be underestimated. the man will find a way. layne was the man. maynards the man. and youre the man as well so you can point that finger.. ehh fuck.. you get the idea.
@urbngrla Don't get me wrong, i'm a massive AIC/Layne Staley fan and he's inspired me for over 20 years- i can't say that i love listening to any vocalist more than i love listening to him. But as far as range goes, i have to disagree and say that no one has ever quite matched Chris Cornell's range (when he was in his prime anyway) just listen to Badmotorfinger...in particular Slaves And Bulldozers/Jesus Christ Pose...just insane- to this day i still can't get over it
I love AIC and Lane's voice, but I gotta lean towards Tool, cause of their unique sound, Maynard's voice, and the fact that Danny Carey is, without doubt, the greatest fucking drummer that has ever lived. Rush's drummer has nothing on Tool's drummer. Lookup the live video of Hooker with a Penis, and watch Danny on the drums, OMG.
Tool and Alice in Chains? Yes please....and go ahead and kill me right then and there, because there is nothing better that I would experience in my life
I see 9 musically challenged morons don't like this. Not sure how a fan of either party could click on this and not enjoy this sound.
Unfortunately, Maynard's collaboration in this song isn't very noticeable as Them Bones uses only a few vocal pitches and tones. The Man in the Box collaboration is where it's at - that specific version is also extremely up beat and damn I wish I could have been there.
Tool's harmony musically between it's musicians is some of the strongest you will find of any current bands Im my opinion. AIC biggest factor of cohesion was Layne and Jerry's vocal southern inspired harmony between each other and the solem doom and glum to gritty southeren stained guitar work. Tool however probably has more of a cohessive sound on the sum of all it's parts. But for me I prefer listening to AIC a little more often.
Agreed. If you listen to Adam Jones' guitar work by itself, it doesn't really work. I love Tool, but they are definitely more than the sum of their parts.
I could listen to this guitar solo on repeat though...
@metamaniac420 Well I have to disagree. While yes this being apart of the whole grunge thing, that comes into play. But this isn't Nirvana, the particular sound and styling vocally aren't very northern at all, but soulful, dusty, southern downtrodden melancholic melodies and vocal styling. AIC can be very Blues meets hard rock as well. In my opinion saying AIC doesn't have many songs that mimic a soulful southern vibe, is like saying Tool has no middle eastern inspired sounding songs.
@wrangler34 they started out being labeled a metal band, it wasn't until both they and nirvana started selling a lot of records that the whole grunge label came out. You are trying to lump them in a category. They sang and played about what they knew, and that was the seattle drug scene. They made a whole album about addiction. Also, most of their listed influences are not even southern rock bands, that i have read. I just try to stay away from the whole labeling thing.
@metamaniac420 Well on this one, I'm not trying to actually lump them into the label of grunge, it's just generally accepted that it is part of what AIC did. My feelings are actually mixed a little on calling them grunge the same way another one of my favs Deftones are some how labelled Nu-metal. I simply will go by the grunge thing in support of not starting arguments with those that feel comfortable with that term regarding AIC.
@metamaniac420 I myself see "grunge" as more so an era than much of a fully developed genre or sub-genre of music. But again as for southern influence in AIC, look at Jerry's taste. I may be wrong but I remember reading even somewhere a long time ago Jerry saying he and his dad would sometimes go down southern states during his youth. I do believe it is widely accepted he has spoken on some of his influence being southern in style in his guitar work. Check around for a written interviews.

@wrangler34 but you do make good points and i respect your opinion, i like that you put thought into music. We need more rock fans who see past the pretty sounds and pretty words to what really makes the core of good rock. I guess i will just agree to disagree, so no disrespect intended.
@metamaniac420 Thanks man, hope I didn't come off as prudish. I've been wrong before about a lot of things and I do accept the fact that I may even be wrong now. I don't wanna come off as high and mighty either. I respect your opinion as well. And if anything it's nice to see people discuss the content and disagree without insulting intended, You did nothing wrong. Cheers dude..
Jerry sang his heart out during the Tribute Song "Black Gives Way To Blue" in memory of his friend Layne last Friday night a the Key Arena in Seattle, it wan an amazing performance and the entire concert was recorded in 3D for an upcoming DVD that will be out sometime next year but you can check out my channel for live footage that I recorded.... Check it out!!.. RIP Layne!!..
all you crying over whos better which bands better who gives a fuck musics there for people who want to listin to it you dont like tool dont listen dont like aic dont listen same with all manyards bands who care dont whine about it dont like dont listen i like both bands and its just annoying to read two people bitching over the stupid shit cus they have nothing better to do get over it
@nastynelson713 Chris Cornell's voice has dwindled quite a bit due to overuse/vocal damage, which is natural in tthe music world i and age has set in a little. He has good moments and bad ones but overall in his career he can be seen as a great singer, however He doesn't have more vocal variety or stamina than someone like Mike Patton.
@wrangler34 I like Chris Cornell, Maynard James Keenan AND Mike Patton. To me its like fine beer or wine. The character differs from bottle brand to bottle brand, but its all to be appreciated.
@Auslandic I agree, to bad some people here have either lost sight of that possibly enjoying more than one of the mentioned singers, or even lacked the sight to see how each are good in their own way from the start.
@Auslandic Absolutely. I see each vocalist as their own instrument, or like a guitar with its own effects or tone. A listener couldn't rightfully say that one instrument is better than another, basically as long as they are in tune they have an inherent value. That being said, there are plenty vocalists who distinguish themselves creatively from the rest or who have a more relevant sound for their group; not even Maynard, Cornell, or Patton reproduce Staley's quality for AIC.
@pezhed0987 I disagree but very well said. I would think if you were to compare Patton's sound with FNM striclty then it's easy to see that he fits every bit as much with that particular collective musically just as much as Layne Staley fits with AIC. FNM overall was spastic, humorous, serious to light hearted, and overall playful in both sound and in their musical efforts. All those traits can be seen greatly both Patton's vocal demeanor, lyrics, and ranging vocal stylings.
@wrangler34 oh nonono. I think that your comments are actually consistent with my with what i wrote. What i meant was, Staley fit the band AIC better than the other vocalists mentioned fit AIC. It's hard to argue that they don't each fit great with their own bands.
@pezhed0987 As for Maynard I think that depends more so on which group your comparing aswell. If you were to compare APC withTool by which one Mayanrd fits much more in terms of quality then I would say Tool, even though I myself more so sometimes lean towards APC in terms of which one I prefer personally. Maynards vocal display of varied range and wavy sound matches the ethereal shifting melodic sparkling guitars and ever changing tribal like drum sections perfectly.
@wrangler34 And, though i haven't listened to much Perfect Circle, i think that Maynard's voice has a marked vulnerable, mortal, almost delicate quality that is a statement in itself when contrasted with Tools unforgiving instrumentals. Their sound alone is potent commentary on the human condition of fragility and isolation in a harsh, inordinate world
@Auslandic I like Chris Cornell, Maynard James Keenan AND Mike Patton. To me its like fine beer or wine. The character differs from bottle brand to bottle brand, but it all gets you shitfaced. -fixt
@Auslandic Oh God I can't tell you how much I agree! I'm a luscious 90's girl who love the Rev, Chris, Mike, and many groundbreakers of our time. Let's not forget Bad Religion, Sick Puppy and such. I gotta hit out on Ke$ha and bitches like her.
@Auslandic Maynard pretty much bites Mike Patton’s style, especially with Puscifer, but he can never touch the great mike Patton. Also, Mike Patton isn’t trying to sell us his wine in every song and video.
@nastynelson713 HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!................spits on the ground and walks away
@nastynelson713 Crhis NOT HAVE THE BEST VOICE ... MAYNARD NOT HAVE THE BEST VOICE, WHO THEN IF YOU HAVE IT,, .. IF NOT LEAVE IT LIKE YOUR BACK, MAY, JUSTIN BEAVER HAS IT .. PUEAJ .. IF THAT BAD TASTE
That isn't Layne? Cuz it sounds like Layne and Jerry, then Maynard hits the chorus'. I seen AIC last September, and the new guy ( can't remember his name) he's good. But this sounds like Layne. Idk.

Agreed. If you listen to Adam Jones' guitar work by itself, it doesn't really work. I love Tool, but they are definitely more than the sum of their parts.
I could listen to this guitar solo on repeat though...

Well said...I would just say that they both are the masters of their respected genre's. I love each band, but i lean to AIC as well...
...and what 'drumlord420' said, as well as what 'Auslandic' said to wrangler...right on guys.

@metamaniac420 Well I have to disagree. While yes this being apart of the whole grunge thing, that comes into play. But this isn't Nirvana, the particular sound and styling vocally aren't very northern at all, but soulful, dusty, southern downtrodden melancholic melodies and vocal styling. AIC can be very Blues meets hard rock as well. In my opinion saying AIC doesn't have many songs that mimic a soulful southern vibe, is like saying Tool has no middle eastern inspired sounding songs.

@wrangler34 they started out being labeled a metal band, it wasn't until both they and nirvana started selling a lot of records that the whole grunge label came out. You are trying to lump them in a category. They sang and played about what they knew, and that was the seattle drug scene. They made a whole album about addiction. Also, most of their listed influences are not even southern rock bands, that i have read. I just try to stay away from the whole labeling thing.
metamaniac420 7 months ago
@metamaniac420 Well on this one, I'm not trying to actually lump them into the label of grunge, it's just generally accepted that it is part of what AIC did. My feelings are actually mixed a little on calling them grunge the same way another one of my favs Deftones are some how labelled Nu-metal. I simply will go by the grunge thing in support of not starting arguments with those that feel comfortable with that term regarding AIC.

@metamaniac420 I myself see "grunge" as more so an era than much of a fully developed genre or sub-genre of music. But again as for southern influence in AIC, look at Jerry's taste. I may be wrong but I remember reading even somewhere a long time ago Jerry saying he and his dad would sometimes go down southern states during his youth. I do believe it is widely accepted he has spoken on some of his influence being southern in style in his guitar work. Check around for a written interviews.

@wrangler34 but you do make good points and i respect your opinion, i like that you put thought into music. We need more rock fans who see past the pretty sounds and pretty words to what really makes the core of good rock. I guess i will just agree to disagree, so no disrespect intended.

@metamaniac420 Thanks man, hope I didn't come off as prudish. I've been wrong before about a lot of things and I do accept the fact that I may even be wrong now. I don't wanna come off as high and mighty either. I respect your opinion as well. And if anything it's nice to see people discuss the content and disagree without insulting intended, You did nothing wrong. Cheers dude..

Maynard is a very good singer but not best ever. The best vocals goes to Chris Cornell.
nastynelson713 1 year ago
@nastynelson713 Chris Cornell's voice has dwindled quite a bit due to overuse/vocal damage, which is natural in tthe music world i and age has set in a little. He has good moments and bad ones but overall in his career he can be seen as a great singer, however He doesn't have more vocal variety or stamina than someone like Mike Patton.

@Auslandic I agree, to bad some people here have either lost sight of that possibly enjoying more than one of the mentioned singers, or even lacked the sight to see how each are good in their own way from the start.
wrangler34 1 year ago 4
@Auslandic Absolutely. I see each vocalist as their own instrument, or like a guitar with its own effects or tone. A listener couldn't rightfully say that one instrument is better than another, basically as long as they are in tune they have an inherent value. That being said, there are plenty vocalists who distinguish themselves creatively from the rest or who have a more relevant sound for their group; not even Maynard, Cornell, or Patton reproduce Staley's quality for AIC.
pezhed0987 1 year ago
@pezhed0987 I disagree but very well said. I would think if you were to compare Patton's sound with FNM striclty then it's easy to see that he fits every bit as much with that particular collective musically just as much as Layne Staley fits with AIC. FNM overall was spastic, humorous, serious to light hearted, and overall playful in both sound and in their musical efforts. All those traits can be seen greatly both Patton's vocal demeanor, lyrics, and ranging vocal stylings.
wrangler34 1 year ago
@wrangler34 oh nonono. I think that your comments are actually consistent with my with what i wrote. What i meant was, Staley fit the band AIC better than the other vocalists mentioned fit AIC. It's hard to argue that they don't each fit great with their own bands.

pezhed0987 1 year ago
@pezhed0987 As for Maynard I think that depends more so on which group your comparing aswell. If you were to compare APC withTool by which one Mayanrd fits much more in terms of quality then I would say Tool, even though I myself more so sometimes lean towards APC in terms of which one I prefer personally. Maynards vocal display of varied range and wavy sound matches the ethereal shifting melodic sparkling guitars and ever changing tribal like drum sections perfectly.

@wrangler34 And, though i haven't listened to much Perfect Circle, i think that Maynard's voice has a marked vulnerable, mortal, almost delicate quality that is a statement in itself when contrasted with Tools unforgiving instrumentals. Their sound alone is potent commentary on the human condition of fragility and isolation in a harsh, inordinate world

@Auslandic Maynard pretty much bites Mike Patton’s style, especially with Puscifer, but he can never touch the great mike Patton. Also, Mike Patton isn’t trying to sell us his wine in every song and video.
