Alice in Chains - Rooster (Layne Staley vocals only) 

This track of Layne's isolated vocal is haunting; huge reminder of what we lost. At least we can still listen to him anytime we want

This man’s voice gives me the shivers.

I remember the first time I heard Layne and Chris sing on the same song. The axis of the earth tilted by 2 degrees and the car in my front yard started for the first time in six years. Without a motor in it.

Singing with layne, eyes closed. Like church to me. How lucky we were.

It’s so rare to have such power and breath behind that distortion technique in the chorus. Truly one of a kind.

Who was able to catch an angel in his natural state !?!? Thank you who ever you are !! Really.

Anybody else harmonizing with him during the chorus by singing Jerry's part?

this mans voice truly soothes my soul

Layne's annihilistic and apocalyptic is pure heaven!

Mustn’t forget what Cantrell’s voice adds to this.. so good

2:13 No one will ever hear a more powerful voice 🤘

A great singer shows his sheer grace and power a cappella

I close my eyes to hear Layne sing my heart begins to race 🐎. His voice does this to me.

Ain't found a way to kill me yet Eyes burn with stinging sweat Seems every path leads me to nowhere Wife and kids, household pet Army green was no safe bet The bullets scream to me from somewhere Here they come to snuff the rooster Yeah, here come the rooster You know he ain't gonna die No, no, no, you know he ain't gonna die Here they come to snuff the rooster, ah yeah Yeah, here come the rooster, yeah You know he ain't gonna die No, no, no, you know he ain't gonna die Walkin' tall machine gun man They spit on me in my homeland Gloria sent me pictures of my boy Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death My Buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath Oh god, please won't you help me make it through? Here they come to snuff the rooster Yeah, here come the rooster, yeah You know he ain't gonna die No, no, no you know he ain't gonna die

Insane! Can't stop crying! Serious!!!

Nobody will ever top the raw haunting power in Laynes voice ; he was gone far too soon. Wherever you are please know that you’re so loved Layne ♥️

Wow. Even with the vocal effects.... that raw emotion pushes right past them. What a damn voice.

He’s so legendary

OMG!!!! Another level, another dimension! GOAT!!!! "Oh God please won't you help me make it throught" 💔

Best singer of all time and no one can change my mind. Wish i grew up in the 90s.

Layne is PERFECTION... He's the only vocalist who could make my bones cry....😢😢😞😞😘😘😍😍

I just realized the “oooo” at the beginning are Layne and the guys. Holy shit.

Thank you.. 🙂 I can't explain how good it feels to hear Layne's Voice ALONE again..

R.I.P. Mr. Layne Staley. a brilliant singer taken much too early

It fucking sucks that today's teens/kids and most adults will never have the honour to even know who Layne is let alone even hear his fucking incredible voice. I'm 20 and thank the Lord my dad educated me on true classic music

This is how you know there is a God.

Just messing around, holding back the power. A whisper here a couple humms there, then bang he opens up and it's a fucking storm. I love his voice, even at low levels. However I've always maintained that you can't even really hear his voice until his ribcage starts rattling. Just fucking brutal. The best vocalist who ever lived and it's not even close. Yeah there's Chris Cornell, Steve Perry, Geoff Tate, Christina Aguilera and a few others but seriously, it's a wrap.

O vibrato do Layne era magnifico

What a fuckin voice.....chilling

It's amazing how accurately Layne was able to double track his vocals. Even his vibrato in each take matched up perfectly. Layne had insane control over his vibrato.

Mesmerising vocal, and his control is amazing. He's the greatest rock singer of all time in my opinion, not just on record but live. This is where he has the edge over Chris Cornell, but in truth I think they're joint greatest - Chris has the edge in range and power while Layne has the edge in soul and depth.

I used to think Bohemic Rapsody is the greatest rock song ever made. Now it’s cleare nothing can’t be even compared with Layne on the stage of rock.

Layne sounds amazing pretty much always did. Thank you for sharing this.

Perfect power. Never out of control.

I still haven't fully recovered from this tragic loss of life 😔😔😔

Yo this is a damn fine job of isolating the vocals props to ya man

@5:32 so haunting chills!!!

Kept the hats in there on the vocal track.

I wake up with this song in my head I crank it up get my coffee and we’re rocking all day!! Amazing voice it never leaves you for sure!! It’s in your bones and soul!!

So haunting and yet so beautiful. Rest Easy, Layne.

Just cant describe how amazing what this is. Just amazing.

Was gonna say Steve Perry was the best but i just needed to be reminded of why Laynr is number 1 in my list for the past years. Untouchabke fukin god

3:21

Thanks for sharing it. And also, Layne, wherever you may be, know you will always be in our heart.

Can we please please please make a movie about the band and the great Layne Staley. The man is my hero when it comes to singing and how to be an amazing front man. It would be awesome to see who would play him if there was a movie

I miss this this guy! You were the best Layne!!!

His voice is badass. What a sweetheart he was too!

Such good quality. Good job :)

Forget growing hair on your chest, this will grow a leather jacket on your torso

He could do this with only half a lung. That makes him the best, even better than Freddie Mercury, and that's damn hard to beat.

Best one ever 🖤🔥

Happy birthday angel

Beautiful

I keep hearing the same comment and its true ,Layne's voice is HUNTING

That brought me to tears.

Oohhh my goodness loved this thank you Red Robin, love and miss Layne Staley R.I.P. 😇❤️🤘

1:43

Amazing!!!!

RIP 🪦 TO LAYNE SUCH A HAUNTING 😮BEAUTIFUL VOICE TAKEN TOO SOON REGARDLESS OF ANYTHING WOULD LIKE TO REMEMBER ONLY FOR WHAT YOU ACHIEVED NOT YOUR PERSONAL STRUGGLES 💯💯💯💯💯

3:45 Holy fuck!!!!

this man was so good

Angelic perfection

Beautiful RIP

Layne, o Brabo da voz...

Chills

Scary...

🐐

OMG 💜

I wanna hear junkhead

the greatest rockstar ever ❤💪🎸

I mean Red Raven soo sorry for the mistake, this is awesome!!

The opening, "whoo whoo whoo's," is Layne harmonizing with the lead singer from the famous Seattle band Heart.

It's kind of ironical with this song that eventually correlated to his unequivocal death.. The Rooster was his internal enemy (heroin) inside that did finally sentence Haley to eternal shuteye unfortunately..

Damn .

could you do edge of seventeen by stevie nicks? awesome work thank you for sharing layne is a legend!

OMG

So awesome 🤘🖤 rip layne we still listen brother 🖤🤘

😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️

This was was so talented He'd be so ducked up and Stull pull these amazing vocals. It's scary and I'm sad and mad when I hear his songs. I feel he saying I can't help myself HELP. ANOTHER THING OPIODS HAVE STOLEN FROM US

🤘😎🤘

Is there any chance you could also get the drum and bass track for rooster?

Can you do Get Born Again

Make a tutorial, pleaaaaaaaase :D

I see you.. u uploaded the same track i uploaded 🤣 66Aliceinchains06 is me

I think someone missed the upvote button

And some people insist that Kurt Cobain was better than him 💀💀

IDK the new guy, nothing against him person, but I don't like any old LS of AIC vocals that he covers. There's something janky, rough and forced in comparison to the natural talent of LS.

Proper power in his voice when he goes for it 😎👍.

Beautiful

Make a tutorial, pleaaaaaaaase :D
