  • usually i hate when i hear somebody else other than layne sing this but this is really good if anybody is going to sing layne songs that should be scott weiland they just got very similar life and struggles with addiction

  • this is great

  • "little boy made a mistake"...after scott made a mistake...LOL

  • make DuVall a second guitarist, and recruit Scott on lead vocals.. watching this just look so painstakingly badass

  • scott weiland should have joined AIC

  • Alice in chains is my favorite band period, and there is certainly no replacing Layne, but scott did a pretty good job here.

    And at 1:15 yeah he messed up the lyrics a bit but hey we all do, even layne did at unplugged with sludge factory....

    R.I.P Layne Staley.

  • lol at 1:15 he made a mess of the song!

  • u dont no music

  • Sounds like Scott fucked up at around 1:15

  • Alice and Chains always played in the most amazing chords. So strange! But you always know an AIC song from it or because of it. There are a few tracks of STP's No.4 where you can hear the AIC, influence.

  • Um... Weiland ruined it!

  • Scott is just fkd up enough to be the PERFECT replacement. Too bad it never happened.

  • Oh good lord, he butchered this song...

    Scott, do us a favor and never cover a AIC song again.

  • @Fredthelog oh come on, be fair. he didn't do it THAT bad.

  • @Fredthelog Couldn't agree more!! Totally ruined it!

  • Epic! I will forever love Scott Weiland for doing this <3

  • he totally imitates laynes voice. i thought it sounded good tho

  • Fantastic singer covering another fantastic singer.

  • Scott does not fit this song at all. Just goes to show what a talent Layne was.

  • i liked it without even watching. f*cking awesome

  • wow! Scott sounds good!!

  • he dosnt have the high's for it.. not bad but.. i didnt really like it.. and i like stp and scotts singing a lot

  • SCOTT WEILAND - LAYNE STALEY- KURT COBAIN - ED VEDDER or CHRIS CORNELL...... there is NO BETTER than Grunge singers , they are all AMAZING & AWESOME.

  • @themahermax ....there were other grunge singers?

  • @BVisionProductions i will not write 50 names , i wrote just the most famous...

  • @themahermax you forgot the guy from mother love bone

    

  • @themahermax True. But Scott, Kurt, Eddie and Chris are still just humans. No one can ever touch Layne Staley. Chris probably comes closest, but it cant be done

  • @csmzcs it takes chris eddie scott and kurt put together to sound abt 1/3 as good as layne did nd i agree chris come the closest

  • @themahermax- Don't forget Mark Lanegan, and (although they weren't "Grunge") Mike Patton and Geoff Tate!

  • @themahermax best comment ever.

  • @1Sifting Thanx a lot Mate !!

  • love scott  but another addict not what we need

  • He hasn't been on heroin since December 5, 2002. He's clean. He was more than likely sober right here. He sounded good on Angry Chair, didn't he?

  • @SalandFindles not true....read his autobiography

  • @daves4usc I've read facts about him and they said he's been clean since 12/5/02.

  • @SalandFindles I just read his AUTObiography and he says he has had binges up until 2007 and still continues to drink. Read it for yourself.

  • so did every other popular musician look it up

  • why didnt cantrell think about recruiting scott?

  • @g00dguyforyou Because that would be dumb... scott and jerry have two different Ideas about music and Scott has his OWN band to play in... if you listen to BGWTB its clear that DuVall is fantastic in AIC.

    and this is coming from a guy who loooooves Layne if you couldnt tell

  • @laynestaley1990 duvall is very good dont get me wrong, but scott is an awesome singer and WRITER

  • @g00dguyforyou that is true.... but hes never written a song with an alice tone lyrically... Duvall is a great writer. his first band comes with the fall was great. but alice doesnt even need a writer. jerry has always written all the riffs for evey song (with the exeption of three songs) and he has a little over have of Alices lyrics in his name. i think it would be cool to see stuff like this more often but if scott were in alice in chains indefinitely it wouldnt be near as good

  • @laynestaley1990 cool dude, props for being AIC fan. cheers

  • damn this is pure awesomness

  • FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • se dara para maquinaria 2011? :S

  • I saw the title of this and got an ear-rection, then I watched/listened to it and had an eargasm....

  • check out Bye the Abandoned!!!!!!

  • Like a Mad Season 2!

  • AMAZING! It would be awsome if they did an album together.

  • you ppl as high as weiland? weiland is shitting the bed here, he cant even get the words or the pitch right, fuck him

  • WEILAND CAN FUCKIN SING ANYTHING!!!

  • Scott weiland ftw!!!..

  • he was inspired by Layne

  • I think I was born 20 yrs to late......!?

  • fuck pearl jam REALLY?

  • he does not sound nothin like layne scotts voice sounds alot deeper

  • Scott has an amazing voice. He can sing exactly like Jim Morrison and pretty close to Layne from what I've heard on this song. Btw, Pearl Jam is the best band from that era.

  • I think they were onto something here.  This would be my dream band.

  • i hate wen ppl say nirvana shaped 90's or they are the godfathers of grunge. quit speweing shit you hear from other ppl and learn something for yourself. look it up, man in the box was out first.

  • @evilexluv Man in the Box didn't strike anyone as anything other than metal.

  • so what? he likes only these 4 bands.

    Is it only my impression that Scott is trying to imitate Layne too much?

  • @OlgaMatusik it was an homage. He was singing in the style of Layne.... To put a different spin on it when performing with the surviving members might have felt a little insulting or even self-indulgent(considering Scott Weiland's narcissistic reputation). Just a theory though.

  • Scott can sing anything

  • mhmm i think, aic, stp,pj,hole,soundgarden and screaming trees could all together make a band.LOL.<3 LOVE THIS VIDEO.

  • Lovin William Duvall. People who write catty remarks about William are just plain wrong. In the first place, Jerry Cantrell himself likes William! Isn't that the bottom line? William Duvall fan here.

  • he is just about the only onr who comes close to layne but he almost died from heroin too tho his vioce is still noot asa stro9ng as layne but he is giving it his all

  • Layne Staley >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rest

  • This has sent my lady bits into a frenzy! Thanks!

  • Bad ass!!!!

  • @TheCzarofussr Scott Weiland = Layne Staley and im pretty sure scott would agree with me there

  • @TheCzarofussr Weiland>>>>>Duvall, but absolutley nobody; past , present and future can compare to Layne Staley, just so dynamic and carried so much emotion when he sung, he was the best of the grunge era amongst amazingly awesome peers.

  • he looks so much like layne staley

    

  • he looks so much like layne staley

  • Comment removed

  • Weiland > DuVall

    Weiland >>>>> Hetfield

  • @yaynoob Well, That's my impression, i've heard a lot of stp songs, and Scott seems to me not being natural here. I could be wrong:). Cheers.

  • Just heard this version of Angry Chair with Scott for the first time now. GREAT job Scott!! you screwed up the lyrics twice, but that was probably heroine and not disrespect for the tune, Since Layne loved the junk too he probably wouldn't be pissed that you screwed up ala Sludge Factory from AIC's Unplugged

  • he got the lyrics wrong at the 1:19 and 1:28 mark, and Scott forgetting the lyrics is no big deal because now a days you expect him to mess up the lyrics. The song sounded great though

  • jerry saved his ass. haha weiland did not perform this very well at all

  • If I had hepatitis and a super soaker, I would blast Scott Weiland right in the cunt.

  • why is brett michaels playing guitar for AIC?

  • fuck alice without layne. whos with me??

  • @GaryBarnard6

    Layne was a huge, important part if Alice, of course, but it was not a Layne project. It was a four-man-band with all members contributing. How can you say there is no Alice without Layne, but yet people had no problem still listening to Alice when Mike Starr was replaced? It's because, like I said, it is not a one man band.

  • @tinmanluver35

    there in no A.I.C without layne simply because of how unique he was. Cantrell said it himself that they were going to change the name. I guess he changed his mind

    Mike starr is different (rip) he was a good bassist but his creative input was minimal- replacing layne is like tryna replace axl rose... cnt happen.

    he still hasn't been replaced, A.I.C don't have a lead singer Duvall and Cantrell kinda of share the weight,

  • @oye2a2000

    I don't recall hearing Jerry say they were going to change the name, but maybe he did. Still though, all of them are unique people. If you really think it's all about one man (which it's not) it would be Jerry. He started the band, he wrote the first music for the band, and he recruited the other members. They had to nearly beg Layne to join. Though all of them come togethor to form Alice as a whole, I truly believe that Jerry is the genius of Alice, and he is still intact.

  • @tinmanluver35

    Yes Cantrell is the main songwriter, which is why A.I.C survived (sort of), everyone knows how they were formed. Jerry and Layne were the main songwriter's not the rest of the band. Layne usually wrote lyrics and Cantrell wrote music.

    the only two people that can't be replaced are Cantrell and Layne. Sometimes a band is about 1 man there nothing wrong with tht, doesnt mean other members arent talent. e.g Nirvana, green day, megadeth

  • @oye2a2000 but there is an AIC.. and theres nothing you can do about it. so instead of bitching id just enjoy the fact that a genuinely good band still exists today. Layne is dead. He killed himself. its not what any one would have wanted. but layne did that to HIMSELF. his choice put his friends ability to make music together to a halt. Layne wasnt an asshole. He'd want them to carry on and do what they love together. this is doing NOTHING but sharing laynes legacy with the world. why complain

  • @laynestaley1990

    dude, i dnt know what your talking about obviously you didnt read what i wrote or u replied to the wrong person

  • the new aic is so pathetic, it would almost be a good idead for scott wieland to join them.

  • @herpesdemon seriously how can you say that? Its a joke???? i''ve got news for you... its the SAME FUCKING guy writing the tunes... jerry has ALWAYS written the songs (with the exception of three) and sometimes the lyrics. the music is the exact way its always been. Fucking good. layne killed himself. not the other three members. do you really think layne was such a dick that he'd want others to suffer from HIS choice? all this is doing is spreading laynes legacy to a new crowd.

  • @laynestaley1990 what junkie ever cared whether other people suffer or not?

    jerry cantrell's solo career is proof that he couldn't hack it outside the AIC "brand".

    layne's legacy is contained in facelift, dirt, tripod and the rest.

  • SCOTT WATCH OUT!!! DONT END UP LIKE LAYNE AND NOW MIKE STARR :(

    DRUGS ARE NOT RIGHT , STAY CLEAN AND SOBER

    GOODLUCK MAN :) AND REST IN HEAVEN TO THE DEARLY DEPARTED IN SEATTLE AND EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD

  • @jetsonic69 Fuck off, drugs can be used or missused like everything else.

  • Screw duvall, weiland wins

  • I say get rid of Duvall not that he's bad it's just that Scott sounded alot better in my opinion

  • He is too dominating,and deep! ain't Layne

  • sorry, i love STP, an velvet revolver, but to say he is anything like layne is crazy for one, an to say he is better than the guy they did pick to sing, is assinine...

    scott is ok at best...

  • Scott Weiland has always been quite good at mimicking various famous rock singers.

  • Fucking Scott those an awesome job , almost sound like brother Layne.Duvall does not suck. Stop comparing apples and oranges. Different sound different times, move on.

  • fucking great singer....

  • At least scott can sing it well

  • That...was...awesome! Ilove Scott with this song, sounded great!

  • Scott was influenced by Layne....

  • at 1:35 Cantrell keeps looking at Weiland thinking shit man he sounds like Stayley right now.

  • @High5Brah Scott is with STP and was Velvet Revolver... Never was he with Pearl Jam unless he did a cover..

    Eddie Vedder is Pearl Jam.

  • Scotttttttt always cool, Layne is irreplaceable!!!

    I love two both!!!!!

  • @High5Brah

    you dont even realize how good Scott is. I love Layne. I love Scott as much as I love Layne as well.

  • Scott looks like alot like Layne in this!

  • There are 29 people who have no appreciation for someone trying to do another man's song RIGHT. He nailed this.

  • weiland was so fucked up but still does a great job

  • Good try for Scott -- he rocks - but no ONE can be Layne

  • AIC and STP and Soundgarden and Pearl Jam all rule the 90s!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @ZGippe40GK you are right my brother

  • @ZGippe40GK and Nirvana my friend... :)

  • @ZGippe40GK ... dont forget Blind Melon man

  • @ZGippe40GK Agree, but common, Nirvana. You cannot deny them and don't be one of those who say they don't like them because a million others do.

  • @DeadByDawnChicago I like Nirvana. But I just do not like them as much as the four I just mentioned.

  • @DeadByDawnChicago And I do believe they are overrated but that is just my opinion.

  • @ZGippe40GK How the fuck can you say nirvana are overrated when you weren't even fucking born when nirvana were around?

  • @scottcobain27 Because ive still grown up to the grunge being from seattle?!

  • @ZGippe40GK So? grunge was world wide!??

  • @scottcobain27 well yeah eventually haha

  • @ZGippe40GK Dont forget nirvana was first noticed in the uk ;)

  • @scottcobain27 lol ok cobain

  • @ZGippe40GK Nirvana

  • @xXDevlinXx123 Ok sir if you looked at my last comment, you would'nt have had to post that

  • @ZGippe40GK well sir,Nirvana is my favorite band of all so I felt the need to remind you that they exist.

  • @ZGippe40GK Ummm my guy you are forgetting about Nirvana who pretty much shaped the 90's

  • @Qsk8enjoi fuck nirvana

  • @Qsk8enjoi yeah dude...seriously. quit while your ahead. Ive cleared this up on this song so Nirvana fans dont feel insulted. I like them, I just do NOT like them as much as the four I just mentioned!!!!!!!!!

  • and no.they really didnt. get your facts straight

  • @ZGippe40GK fuck pearl jam

  • @ZGippe40GK Ummmmm.... You forgot the best one.

  • @elysium735 Yeah no I mentioned Soundgarden lol. Cornell is a GOD.

  • @ZGippe40GK Yes, and a much better singer than Kurt. But still dude... Nirvana.

  • @elysium735 fine. Nirvana. everybody happy?

  • @ZGippe40GK You could of said it a little less begrudgingly, but yeah I suppose that I'm satisfied. Thanks.

  • Love both Layne and Scott, but heck, even Layne messed up on his own lyrics! :)

  • @toinuyashas oh yeah. I just remembered Sludge Factory Unplugged on MTV. ".....There's no pressure besides billions, lets say by day nine!!!.............. FUCK!!" lol unforgettable.

  • I personally think that cory taylor does better when he sang an alice in chains song.

  • I was standing right in front of Scott at this show and actually have the lyric sheet he was trying to read from. He was jacked. Should have picked an easier song. He was lucky William held it together for him.

  • @baileymuck Oh yeah, you can definitely tell he is totally fucked. He messed the song up badly, they were able to save it. It must have been a REAL downer for them to see that, considering the way Layne went out. I swear it must have been like reliving the nightmare.

  • Well no offense but I don't know who Scott Weiland is. I grew up with AiC... actually my first metal album was Master of Puppets... but all I see here is a guy imitating Layne, from the slicked back hair, to the shades, to the mannerisms. If I wanted to see that I could just click on the original video on Vevo.

  • @ChurchOfTheWay Scott Weiland is the lead singer of Stone Temple Pilots, probably a bigger hit band than Alice in Chains, both are one of my favorite bands, but i promise you, this guy does not have to try to imitate noone, he is an original no doubt. He and Layne both share a common adversary - Heroin.

  • @MrTitanman29 My bad... I do remember Pilots... never listened to them that much as they were just coming on to the scene when I was exiting. But they did have a strong, unique sound of their own. No disrespect intended.

  • @ChurchOfTheWay none taken my man! However, Weiland is screwing up the song, Kinda like Layne on the MTV unplugged album!

  • scott is seriously talented. wish he got more credit for his unique style.

    great version of this classic chains song!

  • that was great.I really wanna see Alice in chains hittin' one with Chris Cornell.I mean whenever it happen it will be EPIC. R.I.P. LAYNE

  • WEILAND,un exelente sucesor de Layne¡¡¡

  • 2007

  • Fucking awesome. I'm sure Layne would be proud. RIP Layne. Be well Scott....

  • what year is this?

  • hell yea scott did an awesome job not as good as layne but still wow

  • i hate that fuckin' spook Duvall...has no business filling the shoes of Layne, nor anyone should for that matter. pisses me off.

  • @paisteuser06

    *thumbs down*

    Duvall is a madhouse. saw him on his first tour with Jerry in 2003. he did vocals on "down in a hole" and I about cried. it was incredible. he nailed it.

    he deserves the spot. he earned it.

  • You wanna talk about irony :) Scott Weiland and STP for years and years, getting accused of ripping off the Seattle Bands like this one: Alice In Chains , now taking over Layne Staleys dutys as lead singer of Alice In Chains ....what?? Is Billy Corgan or Chris Cornell, or Eddie Vedder busy? :)

  • get real that was just about perfect most of you bums wouldnt know if it was layne or scott if you werent seeing it.fuckin mutts

  • He actually harmonizes with jerry, 100 times better than Duvall does

  • @Wesson4 Perhaps he should have been the replacement for Layne instead of Duvall.

  • @MrSanctification No because then the world would have to end because that would have been too much for us to handle, but yeah that would have been absolutely awesome.

  • @MrSanctification I think he was busy doing stuff with STP when AIC reformed, but I agree. Duvall has a great voice, but I think Scott Weiland just "fits" AIC better. I'm also a little disappointed with the new AIC's lyrics, and I think Scott would be a big help in that department.

  • @MrSanctification cantrell and weiland need to make an album at bare minimum... would be insane

  • @MrSanctification

    Oh god no.

  • @MrSanctification that was a rumor for a while. He did a gig at the Whisky with AIC

  • @MrSanctification  agree i cant stand duvall

  • @MrHeavyfuckinmetal

    Duvall sucks hard, the worst choice possible, I can't even see his face that it already irritates me

  • @flavioadsm  ME TOO!!

  • @flavioadsm same here!

  • I really dont know... stp and alice in chains are my two favorites band... but this song belongs only to Lane

  • It works cause Scott knows what this song is about.

  • Holy Shit, this rock!!!! BEFORE ANYONE SAYS ANYTHING LAYNE STANLEY IS A GREAT SINGER, SO IS WILLIAM DUVALL, AND SO IS SCOTT WEILAND, AAAND SO IS AIC, AND STP.

  • Well theres the new singer for ALICE IN CHAINS :) Scott Weiland

    Im sure he would make a great replacement for a band that once STONE TEMPLE PILOTS TRIED TO COPY :) oppps

    Just ask Velvet Revolver

    Hes a natural lead singer :) hahaha

    just dont end up like Layne , Scott :(

    goodluck STAY SOBER AND ROCK ON

  • @jetsonic69 ya ok nope. stp's music sounds nothing like alice in chains, so stop trying to be like music critics 20 years ago and actually listen to both bands albums, fag.
