this is an awsome cover "rosychica" get ur shit straight!! u dont know what the hell ur talkin about obviously!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please keep ur stupid comments to ur dumb ass self!!!
Would have been a good cover if he at least had the respect to learn the right lyrics, it get's frustrating listening to all these people and bands destroy such beautiful songs. If you can't even get the words right don't fucking sing it !
@rosychica I dont hear anything wrong with this. Its a great cover. And thats coming from a musicians p.o.v. And what fucking lyrics do you think he's singing wrong? Cuz if anything your wrong cuz you prolly never read the actual lyrics.
i love jim morrison janis joplin kurt cobain jimi hendrix sid vicious they all died young but if i could bring somebody back it would be layne staley he was such a great artist and a beautiful soul
Those who disliked this would probably dislike anyone's cover of this song. Aaron did it justice, like you guys said. He knows how to capture emotion in a similar way to Layne. The unplugged version of Alice in Chains isn't a whole lot different, anyways. Like Aaron has said in his interviews, all covers come out of respect. He's not setting out to outdo the person who did the song originally. In fact, I don't think he feels that he could. This is a great cover and Staind also has a unique sound
Can't decide if he messed up or if he just doesn't know the right lyrics. It's "face the path of time" not "chase the tracks of time". Haha i'm still a fan!
@Buckommander I always wondered this too until I did some research. He changed it to "chase the tracks of time" on purpose as to reference Layne's heroin addiction... hence "tracks" of time, talking about the scars left behind from heroin injections which are also known as tracks.
By far, this is the best Nutshell cover I've ever heard. It's a little hard to cover Nutshell and Nirvana songs do to Lane's and Kurt's unique voices. Kinda ironic, two great bands, with two great singers, two unique voices, all in the same era. This is just an opinion but I think one band that resembles these bands is Dead Confederate. I SAID KINDA! Check out "The Rat" acoustic by Dead Confederate.
I still cant believe aaron lewis says he "sold out" by doing this type of music staind was a kickass band and i know it helped a lot of young kids through some rough shit......that "dont take my guns stayoff my land dont tread on me me" shit he says is the real him is empty and hateful...smh.
@kyleclutter1 Duh...Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell are awesome together. NOONE Can match that harmonizing. I give Aaron Lewis credit here, though, he sounds very good.
lol obviously its not better than layne cause he wrote it trolls. quit hating on artists covering songs just cause they are signed doesnt mean that they cant cover songs exactly like any musician.
I love the cover he hit it in a nutshell! I love when bands pay tribute to the greatest singer ever! As an AIC fan I thank you! RIP Layne we all miss you <3
random sidenote - both Alice In Chains & Nirvana threw down their most EPIC performances ever (by far) @ MTV unplugged... ironically the lead singers both die soon after
Brilliant cover. Let's just leave it at that shall we? Personally I think it's a brilliant tribute to an amazing musician and I find it hard to hate one incredibly talented musician covering an another. Let's start hating Layne while we are at it shall we?Maybe we should start hating on every other kid that learned to play this song as he's picking up the guitar. Just saying.
This is one of those songs... Which emotional tugs makes me want to cry. "If I can't be my own - I'd feel better dead"... Well what if you couldn't get to where you were your own... *Sighs* What a tragic life he must have had..
Staind are so awesome how much feeling and emotion they put into this cover and "Black" by Pearl Jam. It feels just as good as listening to the original
Its sounds soooo gooood, ofc nothing compared to original, but it is only a cover in the first place. Respect for people who still remember Layne and carry on his legacy.
i seen aaron lewis on the cover of hightimes looking very high. I wonder if he struggled with opiates or something harder. lord knows im a sucked for a shot or some black tar
88 people suck so bad..... only Staind can cover such an incredible song, no offense to Seether and Shinedown though, they too are awesome bands..... Aaron Lewis "pwns"<<< god i hate that typo that caught on lol...... OWNS mother f***ers!!! haha
OF COURSE this sin't better then Layne's ORIGINAL version, but then it's NOT SUPPOSED TO BE!!!! It's a tribute to someone who Aaron Lewis has openly said was a MAJOR influence to his own singing. Aaron lewis is NOT a bad singer, and frankly Layne Staley was one of if not THE greatest singer of the Grunge era (RIP)... I think it's pretty awesome that Aaron chooses to honor the greats like he does... Covering Black and now Nutshell... it's a great cover, STOP comparing to the original...idiots
stop hating,aaron lewis covered this because layne staley was one of his good friends.if people actually knew music then they would know that.so stop with the stupid hatred bullshit comments.
been there and still struggling with my addiction with cocain been doing it since i was 12 im 30 now but i have been 1 month sober from that shit it still fucking ponders in my head i hurt alot of poeple and i hate that god i wish i was normal
It's funny when people get mad at other bands covering their songs, when really the band who is doing the cover IS CARRYING THE MEANING AND SOUL of the song, even though they didnt create it, their still giving it feeling. Have you ever listened to APC do a cover of Imagine from John Lennon?? You should because they play it like their is no hope in the world, it tells us we need peace. STOP BEING CRITIQUES!!
@MAC616 You are entitled to your opinion. But A perfect circle's cover is an awesome cover and the practical situation of lennon's song. Also they maintain their originality in their cover. And I don't understand Why i am even arguing on this awesome video of staind's cover of AIC.
shut up guy. I'm a huge alice in chains fan and there is not a single album i like by staind. But this cover is done beautifully. Maybe you don't understand the song, layne staley or the fact that aaron lewis can relate. Layne isn't rolling in his grave because he thinks this cover is awful, hes rolling in his grave because of fans like you who have no idea what they're talking about.
@koalabacon who am i to say what layne thinks? i have to much respect to the guy to say so. and im more then sure i understad this music more then you could ever what to.
@19mordred Irrelevant to my argument. I could care less about how well you interpret the music (all music is up to individual interpretation, is it not?). You hate the cover because its by Aaron lewis, disregarding that its actually done well. Stop acting like a douche. The fact of the matter is Aaron Lewis has enough artistic merit to not only cover the song, but to capture the same emotion that Layne put into it.
@koalabacon you are right, but i can never give Aaron Lewis the same respect as layne, i also think its strange how two somewhat same people are fighting over something so small..............
@BigRockMusicFan a perfect circle right, you know i havnt listened to much of it but I love tool, could you recommend an album, i should buy from them, i wouldntt know where to start
@axel4clover1 I would start with their first album "Mer de Noms" which was released in 2000. APC has the lead singer of Tool (Maynard James Keenan) and the guitarist of Ashes Divide, along with other members of the band, I got their second album "Thirteenth Step" on my birthday which was like 2 months ago.
People seriously need to shut the fuck up over it "not being better than Layne." He isn't trying to be better than Layne, he's just performing the song because Aaron himself loved Alice in Chains and Staley. As the saying goes: "Nothing is better than the original," but nonetheless this is a great cover. Period.
@ODX999 I totally agree with you, he wasnt trying to be as good as Layne, no one will ever be no offense to William DuVall, but Aaron Lewis is just paying tribute to a legendary singer. ppl just need to chill, its great that other artist are keeping Layne's memory alive and kicking.
@ODX999 Although it's a bit disrespectful to change the words to "trace the tracks of time" (as I believe he is singing exactly), this could be a play on Layne's drug addiction, or it could be the Mr. Aaron was too high himself to remember the actual words...
@Silvercordband Im sure theres deeper artistic merit to the words aaron lewis chose. Aaron Lewis is a huge crack head, in case you didnt know. Im sure he understands more deeply the words of layne stalely than you or I. He's not trying to bullshit the song
I love AIC and Layne even more! Layne's voice was truly amazing! Epic! I thought Aaron Lewis did an awesome job! I also love the song Layne by Staind! Give the guy some credit/props. He gave a heartfelt tribute to one of the greatest bands ever! Thanks for keeping their music alive! He does say trace the tracks of time. It should be we face the path of time. Oh well. Love it.
@ssmittyj33 i think this is the closest thing you could get to the Layne version... kudos to aaron and staind for making a cover of this amazing song.
Alice In Chains is one of my favorite bands, behind Nirvana of course. I just really love their music. Layne and Jerry have both made a huge impact on me.
And as a fledgeling acoustic artist myself, I would really appreciate if you could just take a few minutes out of your day to watch an original or two of mine. And hey, if you like it, feel free to subscribe. Maybe you will hear the Layne influence? Thanks.
layne was good and it would be awesome if he was still around rocking. but aaron lewis does a kick ass job on this song. to anyone saying he does not. lets see you try and do better..... seriously! hate negativity!!!
I think it's a beautiful thing that he is paying tribute to Layne. Of course he can't sing it with the same feeling as Layne--these are Layne's words and Layne's heart in this song...but it's a beautiful tribute regardless.
Yeah, he definatley said "trace the Tracks of Time" which is completely wrong. I have sung this song on stage quite a few times. Im not really sure if it is "Copyright Infringement" to sing the exact words due to poetic liscence. The amount of correclty done cover songs out there would leave me to believe it isn't. Regardless Aaron Lewis is paying tribute to the Greatest vocalist and the Greatest band ever by covering it... correctly or not. Layne and Mike, you are greatly missed.
gud one....

I love this cover and all but, it really bothers me how he tweaked the words >.<
Its supposed to be, "We face he path of time"
NOT "We chase the tracks of time"
Other than that, this is lovely =]

People seriously need to shut the fuck up over it "not being better than Layne." He isn't trying to be better than Layne, he's just performing the song because Aaron himself loved Alice in Chains and Staley. As the saying goes: "Nothing is better than the original," but nonetheless this is a great cover. Period.

@ODX999 I totally agree with you, he wasnt trying to be as good as Layne, no one will ever be no offense to William DuVall, but Aaron Lewis is just paying tribute to a legendary singer. ppl just need to chill, its great that other artist are keeping Layne's memory alive and kicking.

@ODX999 ...... Well said.. Cant say it any better...

@ODX999 well said. Lewis isn't trying to out-do Layne at all. Staind is just showing their respects to aic and staley.

@ODX999 Although it's a bit disrespectful to change the words to "trace the tracks of time" (as I believe he is singing exactly), this could be a play on Layne's drug addiction, or it could be the Mr. Aaron was too high himself to remember the actual words...

@Silvercordband Im sure theres deeper artistic merit to the words aaron lewis chose. Aaron Lewis is a huge crack head, in case you didnt know. Im sure he understands more deeply the words of layne stalely than you or I. He's not trying to bullshit the song

@LordRucifel Maybe not anymore, but he was a big crack head and had his own ups and downs with drug abuse.

Great cover man. Actually better than any other ones I've seen on here.

I love AIC and Layne even more! Layne's voice was truly amazing! Epic! I thought Aaron Lewis did an awesome job! I also love the song Layne by Staind! Give the guy some credit/props. He gave a heartfelt tribute to one of the greatest bands ever! Thanks for keeping their music alive! He does say trace the tracks of time. It should be we face the path of time. Oh well. Love it.

@ssmittyj33 i think this is the closest thing you could get to the Layne version... kudos to aaron and staind for making a cover of this amazing song.

Alice In Chains is one of my favorite bands, behind Nirvana of course. I just really love their music. Layne and Jerry have both made a huge impact on me.
And as a fledgeling acoustic artist myself, I would really appreciate if you could just take a few minutes out of your day to watch an original or two of mine. And hey, if you like it, feel free to subscribe. Maybe you will hear the Layne influence? Thanks.

layne was good and it would be awesome if he was still around rocking. but aaron lewis does a kick ass job on this song. to anyone saying he does not. lets see you try and do better..... seriously! hate negativity!!!

I think it's a beautiful thing that he is paying tribute to Layne. Of course he can't sing it with the same feeling as Layne--these are Layne's words and Layne's heart in this song...but it's a beautiful tribute regardless.

Yeah, he definatley said "trace the Tracks of Time" which is completely wrong. I have sung this song on stage quite a few times. Im not really sure if it is "Copyright Infringement" to sing the exact words due to poetic liscence. The amount of correclty done cover songs out there would leave me to believe it isn't. Regardless Aaron Lewis is paying tribute to the Greatest vocalist and the Greatest band ever by covering it... correctly or not. Layne and Mike, you are greatly missed.
