Nutshell - Alice In Chains Acoustic Cover

[TheSuperUnknowns]

This is amazing mate, beautiful guitar...not easy to do and you nailed it.

Love this

[jamezheart]

@TheSuperUnknowns

Thanks bro .. love your cover of "Interstate" .. beautiful! And one of my faves of all time .. peace and love from Adelaide :)

[TinGoddess666]

One of my favourite songs ever. Thanks for not butchering it. :)

[jamezheart]

@TinGoddess666

LOL ... thanks :)

I would never post anything I 'butchered' ...

Love this tune also ... really, really cool song to play and sing !

And really nice melodic solos.

Is it just me or have all the real passionate bands come and gone?

[TinGoddess666]

@jamezheart

I completely agree. When you look at where music was and where it is now, there's just no turning back. That's why it's so important to try to keep what was left alive.

Makes me feel good when I find artists who aren't just doing it for the attention - but the love of real, good music. :)

[jamezheart]

@TinGoddess666

Much thanks ... at least there are still people like you out there in our little Universe that make me feel that what I do isn't all for nothing :)

[TinGoddess666]

[Mwatkins92]

lol things are great man, its almost summer... 5 more days of school then im off for 2.5 months!

[jamezheart]

Beautiful! Just starting to get cold here ... Winter now. Having said that, it rarely goes below 6 degrees Celsius at night during the coldest part of Winter where I live so I can't really complain LOL

[animallover1978]

that was really good i love that song you always have the best music video

[jamezheart]

Cheers Della :)

[PJ17MKD]

Great song and a great rendition from you my friend, bravo!!!

Can't wait for the new Chains album, it's finished - will be released autumn - maybe the same month as Pearl Jam's new album, ahhhh it would be an amazing autumn filled with beautiful music!! Cheers! Sasho

[jamezheart]

Cheers Sasho ... and thanks for that info. I'm hoping to find some time next month to get a PJ cover done. Hope so :)

[PJ17MKD]

Tomorrow, monday, Pearl Jam is playing live @ the inaugural Late Night show with Conan O'Brien on NBC, and they will play songs from the new album!! Can't wait :)

And Jamez, do a Pearl Jam song whenever it feels good to you :) Can i suggest? Release, Off He Goes, Indifference or Oceans - all mellow ones... Black is covered to many times but if it's your favourite too than - no problem :)

Have a nice day.

[jamezheart]

Cool Sasho, thanks for the suggestions man. I wouldn't have done 'Black' anyway, the poor song has been thrashed as you said. Enjoy the boys playing tomorrow man ... Peace bro :)

[PJ17MKD]

Listening your Nutshell for the 4th time i think, there's something i like about this version - i can't describe exactly, i think it's the rhytm, the tempo is a little faster which i like - it kinda makes the song joyful in a way... thanks for the replies ;)

[jamezheart]

Thanks Sasho. I tend to speed most songs up a little when doing them acoustically otherwise (sometimes) they seem to drag a bit.

[yutubecop]

awesome, thanks for suggestion PJ.

[mysterio112003]

that was awesome man

laney wuld be happy to have you pay tribute to him

Rip Laney Staley

[jamezheart]
