rooster alice in chains 8th grade talent show

[janicetiedemann]

this is awesome

[jessicarocks1313]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh AWESOME JOB , from an old school AIC chick !!!!

[TheRekluse]

just wanted to say great job... it makes me smile to know/see/hear that AIC is being played at 8th grade talent shows, even after all the bs the press said about Layne. I'm sure Jerry would smile too if he saw this... keep it up guys! RIP Layne

[keymankeys1960]

great job

[DESTROYER96x]

T-T good job guys

[scottyxdont689]

a bit on the fast side, probably due to time constraints. guitar work is good. vocals do need a bit more. but not bad. check this out. this is my band doing the same song but the studio version rather than the acoustic version. lemme know what you think.

[KawtinKandi]

You guys did pretty good, but the vocals need a little more emotion.

[greenha13]

Im glad they actually did alice in chains and not todays music

[megjeezybaby]

ps. the whole intro i was like naaah they're not gonna have the balls to sing the oooooh's. guess you did. and you fuckin murdered it. i'm in love

[megjeezybaby]

if this would've taken place when i was in the eighth grade i would've died. i cant believe people are singing along and everything, never would've happened at my middle school. amazing

[babarasad]

Nice!!!!

[dapper189]

9 times out of 10 im a hater, but you guys did great. keep up the good work.

[jettadude736]

From an AIC fan I have to say this was an awesome performance. 

[605smileyface]

good job



[ledunderground]

id love to share a few bowls with these guys

[graffitionthefloor]

@ledunderground This could be arranged haha. where you live?

[Mr88colt]

@graffitionthefloor Yeah I wouldn't mind shooting up with you guys and I live in the same town as ledunderground

[Mr88colt]

@graffitionthefloor california bro great weed

[DESTRUCTION10001]

@graffitionthefloor obviously you guys are now in high school. Have you guys played at a talent show your high school? If not, You guys should do it. Show those little motherfuckers that 80s,90s music is still boss.

[ledunderground]

shits badass man



[3l3ktr0h34d]

Good for you fucking dudes, man. Fuck the haters! This was epic.

[Tristen95gi]

sexy guitars. Wish I had the balls to sing this in eighth grade

[alikat950]

Killer. Period.

[toreupwithlove]

Love it.Kids are singin' along sounds like.Ballsy

[cmurwin1]

Thank God you recognize what good music is!

Great Job...

[BleedThemBones]

are there other ppl singing in the background?

[farrotman]

keep up the good work

[AlreadyEddie]

Yes they picked an awesome song! THERE IS HOPE!

[bigsexy90210]

fuck whats with the downer comments guys ? theyre playing in sync together, theyre in key, in tune, theyre fuckin 14, the kid doin the lead breaks on the right gives the intro a bad ass kick to the song. Leave em alone. They gave it 120% it sounds amazing for 2 unplugged kids with guitars. They aint fuckin alice in chains, they aint no cover band, dont expect them to "have feeling" or nail Laynes high notes. Dont fuckin judge. Theyre better then most people ive heard cover this song

[kardigan8]

you are gonna big one day! best choice also

[gorillakilla34]

Great Job, especially taking this into context of age, setting, ect. But still an overall great job boys.

[graffitionthefloor]

@MusicandChronic Hah thanks and yeah its the internet people are gonna give you shit no matter what but i just laught cuz this shit was 2 years ago and i still think it was a pretty good preformance.

[27DJMA]

@graffitionthefloor

Considering that this is an impossible song to sing, yeah, you did great.

Played it just right.

[dustinLenn]

impressive, especially for 8th grade!

[MrChupacabra1995]

Man they need better soun recording

[matthewisenhour]

Epic for an 8th grader. I used to daydream about shredding it at my middle school talent shows. Good job guys.

[TheHeads2tails]

you guys shoulf really start looking normal

[pancakesNwafflezVids]

very good improv solos. 

[liox2597]

You guys sounded amazing! Other than tempo issues and staying together it was good!

[thewhitemask]

Nice, that's really good! I mean it kept building up and then letting me down vocally =P but that can be worked on no doubt, cause it would get there....but drop and lose it on the ride back down the hill. both guitars are fantastic though! especially being accoustic, keep at it guys, good luck!

[Gretchenwhicker1]

Very Talented, they r in 8th grade u morons... some people have to nit pick ...

[graffitionthefloor]

@Gretchenwhicker1 Haha its cool i asked them to critisize as long as they have a point of corection and dont just say that we suck and were gay. and thanks.

[billzeking]

Badass!

[SColton89]

Great job.

[MasterBanshee98]

*Alice in Chains sorry I'm tired

[MasterBanshee98]

I suscribed just for the fact that I know that there other kids who play Alice on Chains( I know the majority of the unplugged album)

[WWERawGurlSara08]

GREAT JOB,DUDE! THIS WAS AWESOME!

[4231rich]

on the guitar

[baybaykacay]

[dudenyeh]

The singer has a good voice. It's hard to cover a singer as good as Layne Staley but he did a good job.

[sushirrockandoll]

Good to see some other kids have good taste to!

[calarakien]

Duuude, if you can get a high quality version of this, i would even go so far as to Download it! Great job, its good to know some people still have some taste in music!

[dorf68]

Kids did a great job, You suck on the camera. Hold it still ,MAN!

[pking8392]

i don't know who all of you negative people are, but why don't you post something and let everybody else shit on your 'talent'. what ass-holes. we're supposed to be supporting the kids. we've messed up enough for them. grow the fuck up. want my e-mail, phone #, address....let me know, bitches. sorry you didn't have the HUGE BALLS it took these kids to do this?

[pking8392]

excellent. lot of balls for young kids to do anything in front of a crowd. kudos. sorry there were so many chatty bitches ruining a good thing.

[TheBrillo05]

u guys did a great job. the song was represented well,and only 8th graders.nice



[SgtRum]

[JacksonJS50Dinky]

[JacksonJS50Dinky]

typical 8th grade "metal head" wearing a metallica shirt

[graffitionthefloor]

@JacksonJS50Dinky Lmao yeah ill admit i didnt really have a very broad music taste back then. At least its not a black veil brides shirt or icp.

[dudiopeekei]

@graffitionthefloor At least it wasn't a Devil Wears Prada shirt.

[MusicandChronic]

@graffitionthefloor Im glad your not taking these internet haters serious. Most of them just talk shit about videos all day. This was very good

[therealiheartmtndew]

@graffitionthefloor YES. BVB ARE ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!

[3l3ktr0h34d]

@graffitionthefloor Hahaha!!! Well said, dude.

[kaputa814]

@graffitionthefloor Thats a great comeback. every 8th grade worships metallica, then they grow up... haha

[TheZombie6]

@JacksonJS50Dinky fuck yeah thats bascialy how i dress

[hughbo52]

I'm just now getting into this song (duh, where have I been) and trying to do a two man cover would seem like a bitch, but, gotta hand it to ya - nice...

[Refiep]

[YouthsAnger]

[agentXpookie]

WOW, you guys were AMAZING!! that boy has such a brilliant voice.and the improved solos were also really good. are those people singing along? I wish my school was as awesome as that. Those kids didnt know the difference between Marilyn Manson and Layne Staley. Me and my "devil music" *rolls eyes*

[Codizzle61]

Performance is great, singing could use some work but dont let anyone tell you off.

[ForceRecon198]

Rock is not dead among the youth.

[SyruppyChicken]

Dude these are the most bad-ass kids ever!!

[loveislovepeaceis]

[bigboss25262]

Awesome performance fellas. One of the best songs and bands of all time.

[laynemuttley11]

Been covering this song since 1994, and I am stoked to see youth paying tribute to a phenomenal band. You guys did great.. Keep on rocking you guys!

[skylicia12]

Aweee, you guys are so cute! And you did an AMAZING job doing this cover. Keep it up. :]

[siggy166]

Good shit guys! Nice to see classics are alive.

[evils501]

[acdc601234]

You guys are freakin awsome! :D

[sticky133400]

singer has no rhythm or he is wicked nervous

[nirvanafan64]

@sticky133400 shut the fuck up, tell me how many 13 or 14 year olds do you know that can play Alice in chains?

[sticky133400]

@nirvanafan64  me for one

[aaronJORDON]

@sticky133400 oh come on dude. he's 14 and yeah, probably wicked nervous. I thought it was a pretty good job.

[sticky133400]

@aaronJORDON im not saying hes awful basicly just pointing out where he needs to improve

[TheFunkyTheist]

@sticky133400 He only got off rhythmwise about 2 or 3 noticable times......so quit your whinin' brother.

[sticky133400]

@TheFunkyTheist im not saying hes awful, not even sayin that i could do better basicly just pointing out where he needs to improve but i noticed it more than just a few times

[sticky133400]

[raptorkam]

[graffitionthefloor]

[joey2183]

@graffitionthefloor Ya their is maybe 5 of us in our school that listen to AIC but if i could pick any song to do it would probly be rooster.

[graffitionthefloor]

@joey2183 yea i checked out ur vocal covers i like them alot you should do more but try a differnt genre just to mix it up

[graffitionthefloor]

@joey2183 and by 4 pple sang her songs i meant for the acts in the talent show

[joey2183]

@graffitionthefloor god i dispise taylor swift. im probly gana do "odd one" by sick puppies or "letter from a thief"

[nerdking234]

Nice, very nice. Find a bass and people will love you.

[graffitionthefloor]

@nerdking234 we had a bass player it was the singers brother but he got introuble and his parents said he couldnt play in the talent show it was GAY!!!

[nerdking234]

@graffitionthefloor That happened to me too man. I was in my friends band and we were going to play in it but her mom said no one else could be in it, which was the drummer and me. It sucked major ass.

[DaKavemanMonster]

@nerdking234

its the 'Skunk Monkeys'. (These Guy's New Band) we gotta bass player (me, the kid who got in trouble), and a drummer, (Jareds Lil Bro). Check us out on my page.
