@MrTnutz187 No one will ever sound better than Layne Staley

[MrTnutz187]

I have seen these guys twice with the new lead and they fucking rock out!!! I think he sounds better then layne did!!

[chromeOne7]

True statements but I still don't like this singer, not sure I'll ever like anyone that replaces Layne, he was my favorite. They won't do well with this guy.

chromeOne7: A band also has to find someone they can connect with. If you've ever played in a band yourself you know what I'm talking about. Finding someone who just "sings like Layne" would be ok if they only planned on playing old material. But they needed to find someone on the same wavelength as them to move forward or it wouldn't work.

Take Blind Melon, for example. They got a singer who could sing Shannon's songs well, but the chemistry wasn't right so in the end it didn't work out...

[chromeOne7]

No but I'd expect them to find someone that sounds more like him than this if they are going to play the old stuff. Even Journey found an exact match for Steve Perry.......

i dont kno... not sure if they were looking for a match up for layne but he sounds good cant deny that but could u really expect him to fill layne's shoes?

[chromeOne7]

Is this the closest voice they could find? I don't think he is remotely close to Layne in sound.

[AndrStark1986Mrz]

He makes a good job and that's the truth...

[jacnzach21]

you should of got aaron lewis to be the new lead singer.....not this african booty scratcher

[therealbeeznutz]

yeah this guy is alright, good video thanks for posting one of my favorite songs ever! B
