[gigtanur]

[DrkMths]

please come back to making youtube videos!!!!!!!

[TylerFisk1]

I watch your covers at least 2 or 3 times a week and thats not fair to you cause your not making any money and im getting all the enjoyment. You need to get signed bro cause it dont matter if your doing covers or not with vocals like that and the ability to play the guitar like nothing else you could go far. Yea i know theres a lot of people who can sing and play good but when you add that true raw emotion you have to a song its just over the top! Thanks for posting these covers and keep jammin

[ShavedNsmooth]

Now plz reply, in that i wanna start off by saying that what im about to write is in no way hating or putting u down.... the exact opposite actually.

Now that is said, this song has become one of my, by far, favorite songs.... I 32, but never gave AIC a chance. Now to my point...

First of, freaking awesome seeing a guy doing the picking, and not just the chords, WHILE singing well!

[ShavedNsmooth]

@ShavedNsmooth

I used to play in a band, and never learned that really well.... But trying now, with acoustic, because i forgot how much i love it.

Honestly, u dont have the best voice ive heard for this song (its not bad at all, i just wish for more rough sound is all)., But all that do, are not playing the picking themselves.... if even close, they play the chords, but no picking (regular strumming). It makes a huge diff, if u ask me..... huge. Great job, all in all, so far best here!

[ownbymaxx]

[r0p3t0m]

great voice man !

[BrettIRB]

[rawdawg7636]

amazing vocals, im blown away, and fuck whoever said your guitar playing sounds like shit. I think you did 100% justice to this song, fuckin unreal dude. Im jealous, i wish i could sing like that

[ramboman15]

that was un-fuckin-real man keep up the good work

[coralreefdog]

Nice! Great song. Rip layne.

[SoIndie7]

This is freaking spot on

[MrLemesneto]

[genevieve20payton]

[tnobbs13]

[Tylerbtn]

Oh my God dude, this is truly remarkable. Great job bro!!

[rickuhn]

i even dit lok in ,,- just to say :nice feeling -thank you for the moment

[thepizza117]

Fucking amazing man! Wish i could sing like that...this is my favorite AIC song btw

[benmark1219]

when you are pushing out the chorus..it's incredible. The lower parts aren't very good and your pacing is poor. Definately have the feel there and you are talented....sounds like you are more of a country singer though with your phrasing and how nasaly you are. But I did enjoy it, well done man

[adkingdenmark]

Thats fucking awesome .... cool voice... have you done anything on your own ?

[intuition666]

sick vocals bro!~ \/

[isabelladelioncourt]

Awesome <3

[ladaxi]

Fucking amazing! Greetings from Finland

[MystikBiitch187]

Its like a mix of stevie ray vaughn, kurt cobain and...i dont even know lol

good job guy :D

you have a great voice!

[psychoclown420]

@MystikBiitch187 kurt cobaine, layne, aaron lewis...

[eddiewr8]

not grungy enough. god damn pop vocals suck.

[Danielptwa]

My advice, for you... don't try American Idol, that's no place for real music, like the one you are playing. Great performance. Seek a real career like AIC did

[jgmaki81]

Holy shit!!! Unreal!!! Great job dude!!

[gabeo85]

Not bad.

[LazyJayneuk]

Great voice mate, did the song and the singer (RIP) proud!! Well done. The 12 that didnt like it are Glee fans....

[roosterjaco]

f*in awesome rock voice cantrell, cobain, seether, staind all in one

[tickedoffnow]

U r amazing-absolutely amazing :)

[mlbell727]

Great song!! and u sound amazing! love it!! HOT!!

[Theresl]

Amazing voice dude!



[masseygurlsinc]

good stuff



[TheJistCoverBand]

Wow. good job bro.

[TheAdeSings]

Loved it dude.... lots more grungey than my cover. Awesome song, awesome band, awesome cover, good one :)

[darkmatterdoesit]

I think you should be Alice In Chains' new front man.

[badmoonrizn138]

My favorite cover to my favorite song! AWESOME

[jarraflies]

your clean voice is great . The raspy voice sounds like its a bit much. Definitely good though. I wouldnt say amazing, but you should do another cover of this with using just your clean voice, Im telling you.

[badmoonrizn138]

@jarraflies The raspy voice is what gives the right mind set to the song. It adds conviction and emotion.

[jarraflies]

@badmoonrizn138 Thats true, when other people do it. You sound like you have to poop really bad. Your natural voice sounds super good, but the "raspy" makes it sound so incredibly forced. Like you are trying to sound like Layne or something. Maybe if you shoot up first, then re-record this same video with pink hair and sunglasses it will sound better.

[badmoonrizn138]

@jarraflies Sorry, I am not the one singing this, just voicing my opinion, but whatever. If anyone is trying to be Layne "RIP" it's you jarraflies <----- Sounds similar to "Jar of Flies", but that is just my thoughts on that as well. When you grow a pair big enough to put out a vid, let me know, I'll throw down my 2 cents there too.

[jarraflies]

@badmoonrizn138 Well whatever, thats dumb of you to say that. That's like me telling you that youre trying to be John Fogerty. Cmon now. Alice in chains is an awesome band, and I thought the screen-name was cool. I didnt realize youre not the person singing this either. Just to let you know though, I know many Alice in Chains songs and my singer(s) can nail the shit. Without trying to grind their vocals just to sound the way Layne did. I mean, this cover actually rocks, just stating my opinion.

[tjamesification]

dude, you got the vocal skills. your licks are off though: and you dont quite match the changes he hits yet out of all the covers i've watched u have the most potenial. just match it man. your good

[kidLayneStaley]

u look a sheep singing dont arruin AIC BEST´s HITS

[selfcheck]

ı can't understand why some people unlike like these things...

[IHaveADeathWish666]

You changed my life, I'm gonna learn that song and drill it into mr until I have it as good as you. Fuckin beautiful

[revan91m]

[pitada72]

[99999j]

That was verry badass dude...

... keep it up man

[Diolord89]

Dude that was very good man, you would have my support, you really feel the music and that is one of the most important ingridents to success. I went to see them the other day in Bham and they blew the stage away thank you man for helping to keep them alive. I bleieve Layne would be proud:).

[elchicorey]

Excelente cover...!!! muy buena voz... mucho power...!!!

[GuitarPenguin22]

That was really good man, I sat here with my acoustic and vocally harmonized with you, it was tight.

[Klowkalache]

I'll say more than nice voice dude! its a har song to get right with all the pitch changes and picking, i'll give u a b+ cuz it gets a bit shouty.. im sure jerry cantrell would be proud of that, its the same as their unplugged version butt different cuz u have ur own style and sound

I saw Alice in Chains in Montreal two days ago and they put on a siick show but DAMN! You would have dummied that crowd with that song bro. Alice in Chains=dirty raw vocals. Nuff said.

[MegaKelli]

Can you send your tabs my way I'm covering that song n I have to say your version sounds amazing!!!!!!!!! Good job man

[lespaulplayer1992]

dude this is a good cover, i had to comment it again

[lespaulplayer1992]

dude what strings and guitar model are those.i love the sound

[B2Rockin]

Wow... ROCK \m/ keep it up bro!!

[YAZZ69er]

u shood sing for my band, like seriously, ime the lead guitarist, i hav to sing rite now since theres nobody, but u wood fit perfectly man

[itsaclinic]

Seriously....GREAT cover bro...You made this your own and rocked it out...And did it without bastardizing Layne's version,

On a side note, people are too hard on Duvall...Sure, he looks cheezy and he tries a bit hard, but I like him too...Better than nothing at all IMO...AIC was always about the music to me, Layne was just the gravy! Nobody will replace him and I dont think anybody is, I think everyone should just be glad that Jerry is keeping the spirit of AIC alive and well.

5 Stars!

[doorTLM]

@itsaclinic I dont think people are too hard on duvall. Its just... Out of all people they pick him. Take this guy for example, he sings the song better than Duvall, and he's probably not a professional recording artist like duvall. I prefer this guy over duvall any day.

[24aliceinchains]

loved this cover it had a different feeling than the origional but it had a good intense vibe

[telecaster23]

he sounds like travis meeks

[zachhartwell]

and/or wes scantlin

[golyz]

[PaulETCamille]

Nice job mate!

[nirvana4fockingever]

nice dude

[Indridx]

Great cover. The best of this song that I've seen. That first "Down in a hole" sent chills down my spine.

[skullebrity]

awesome dude!!!!!!! you rock!!!!!

[NaTzZ09]

i have goosebumps.

i love it!!!!!!

[PerfectParasite]

You are better than the current singer of Alice In Chains.

You should replace him.

[kierantj55]

EXCELLENT

I sent t it to a few friends and am sure they will be impressed. Well done and keep them coming!
