Breaking Benjamin and Gavin Rossdale - Alice In Chains’ “Would” (Live in Reno) 

Respect to them for respecting one of the most powerful voices ever in rock history, Layne Staley.

SYMPATHY TO EVERYONE WHO DID NOT LIVE THEIR YOUTH IN THE 90’s!!!

From a diehard chains fan…they absolutely killed this cover. Best chains cover I’ve ever heard

After decades of failed attempts, someone realized it takes two vocalists to cover Layne. Finally, someone cracked the code. ❤

Rossdale looks like he hasn't had a birthday since 1998.

This... was much better than I thought it was going to be.

It's 100% AWESOME that GREAT musicians and bands continue to play Alice in Chains.....its great that the GREATS recognize how fantastic AIC was. CHEERS to ALL

Wow. Bravo. Their harmony overlap was premium. Not an easy cover AT ALL but they absolutely nailed that. I honestly haven’t heard a better cover of this epic banger

2 years later and now BB, Bush, and Alice In Chains are touring together. So sick! Can NOT wait!!!

Their bassist killed this, the whole band really nailed this cover

Just saw Alice in Chains, Bush, and Breaking Benjamin live 10-7-22. What an amazing show.

I saw Gavin sing earlier this year and let me just say his voice really is even better live than recordings

This crowd doesn’t even understand they have a legend in their presence, covering a legend.

Jesus Christ. This was one hell of an AIC cover

Alice in Chains ,Layne's chemistry with Cantrell will always be the epitome of pure genius and God given talent then,now and beyond🤧😫but I gotta say Ben n Gavin awesomely killed this!!🔥🔥💯💯whatta tremendous tribute!🤧🙌😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I usually just roll my eyes when someone else tries to sing Alice in Chains BUT, they did an amazing job. Not an easy thing to do. I love Breaking Benjamin, Alice In Chains and Bush too so I really enjoyed this.

Let’s be honest..Bush had some Bangers back in the day.

Layne, Kurt, Scott, Chris, and Chester aren’t gone.... they live on through all of us. That’s what I love about music. It transcends flesh. Once it’s created, it just simply IS... forever. Rock on everyone!

Wow! They nailed the sound! They sounded great together!

Brings tears to my eyes all the musicians we have lost. This is an amazing cover. It shows just how amazing Laynes voice and musical talent truly was.

Surprised how aggressive Gavin attacked this song. Great job!

They actually didn’t hack the shit out of it!!! Big shoes to fill singing that one!!! RIP Layne😔

Gavin's voice is just breathtaking

That sounded so amazing. That sounded like a studio version.

That bass player's tone is dialed in like he was Mike fuckin' Star. Nicely done for sure.

Jerry Cantrell is just as important to the sound as layne was , these guys did the best cover because they harmonize very well together , love it!

Wow, Gavin effing nailed it. Did it justice. Excellent cover.

I love this song and I have to say, Rossdale did it justice.

Is it me or Gavin's tone in this song is insanely good :o

I thought the story was going to be about him going to see Alice In Chains

Moments like these, are beautiful. Two great singers, the crowd cheering and singing all to pay respect to Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell. Goosebumps

Rossdale has the growl in his voice to give this cover justice for Layne that’s for damn sure

Love it, but honestly it makes you appreciate the power of Layne’s voice

Gavin Rossdale has a great voice for rock I am a big Bush fan but this performance proves just how powerful Layne was in vocals no one can compete with his vocal range.

As soon as I heard the first harmonization before the first verse, I knew this cover was going to be masterful. I never pictured Gavin singing an AiC cover, but both guys were amazing. I'm going to buy tickets to the AiC/BB/Bush show here in Austin right now.

This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE AIC song. They absolutely knocked it out of the park!!! Layne is definitely smiling ❤

Bro, the harmony between their voices is incredible

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t expecting them to do Chains any justice by covering this song...but I am actually impressed. Their vocal harmony is beautiful, and the drummer echoes Sean Kinney very well.

Seeing Breaking Benjamin in 2004 was so incredible. They came out on stage, Ben said "sorry I'm a bit under the weather" and they jumped in unison as Home started playing. It was mind blowing

This is actually the best cover of Would I have ever heard. They do so well harmonizing together...just like Cantrell and Staley were amazing at it. Damn good cover!

Makes you appreciate how great of a vocalist Layne Staley was.

If I had a time machine, I would save Chris, Chester, Layne, Kurt and Scott :(

Benjamin Burnley killed these vocals. Awesome tribute that did the song great justice!

Their tone is outstanding

Just so everyone knows, Gavin Rossdale is 55 years old.

Not only is this a beautiful cover, hearing the crowd SCREAM along to a song they didn't expect to hear is just so epic . Iconic song for generations and generations to come

This is the best I've ever heard Gavin sing. I didn't know he had it in him.

Gavin is an icon and legend...no one sounds this cool...so we thank you as always.

I’ve never seen a weaker crowd during such a powerful performance like I’m speechless

Gavin bringing back that 90's crush.

Damn what a polished live cover of this, they sounded awesome

What a great cover by Gavin!

Incredible how clean this sounds - everyone nailed it

Gavin Rossdale is the only singer that I heard who can sing a cover of this song. Respect.

It’s fate that all 3 bands are touring together now

Would? is one of the greatest songs ever made. So cool to these guys cover it and pay tribute to Staley and AIC.

2 of my favorite bands covering one of my favorite bands. Incredible cover!

Gavin hasn't aged a day since I was in high school in the 90s. His voice is still as great. Loved this cover and Layne would absolutely be proud!

Seen Bush live a few years ago and Gavin was amazing. He's vocals were spot on and he is a legit front man, kept the crowd entertained and engaged the entire set

The bass line in would gives me chills

No diss, but two top pros getting to 80% of Layne. It really shows you the power.

Ben brought me up on stage when the St. Judes kids were brought on stage. I use a wheelchair and the crowd wouldnt rest til he brought me up there too. It was like a dream. I got to stay on stage the whole show! I love BB and Bush! This is awesome!

Layne definitely would be happy with this one what a awsome cover!

THEY KILLED IT. IN THE POCKET. BRAVO BRAVO BRAVOOOOOO!!!!!

Possibly the best cover of Would I’ve ever heard. Nope, it definitely is. Well done.

Their vocals harmonized unbelievably. Jerry guaranteed approves and Layne is smiling down.

They pulled that off shockingly well

From this you can see how unique, powerful and special layne was! The only one!

Not bad Gavin! Layne's a hard f'ing act to follow! Bush and Alice still rock!

Gavin Rossdale...Straight Dope

This crowd had no fuckin clue what blessing they had.

Gavin Rossdale hasn’t aged a bit he looks like he’s in his 20s

Gavin doesn't need the auto-tune. It actually hinders the sound of his voice. RIP Layne Staley

Still watching this in 2024. The fact that they didn't do a Bush song, they didn't do a Breaking Benjamin song. They did a Alice in Chains cover and nailed it live! Just incredible, amazing singers

This is a lot more badass than I thought it was going to be lol.

Im happy to see that AIC is getting a lot of love lately

Alice in Chains is my all-time favorite band and while no one will ever be as good as the originals (RIP) this is still an amazing cover. I'm impressed, how the fuck has Gavin not aged at all? Is he a vampire or what?

It wasn't but 15 to 17 years ago, I was in my mid 20's and breaking Benjamin's music was saving my life

wow this blew me away... absolutely kick ass. RIP LAYNE

Damn, Matthew McConaughey sure can sing man!

Ben is so humble and that's what makes this so special because he still remembers and feels what he did when he was a teenager singing with him. This is why I love Ben and bb so much he is so down to earth.

AIC, best band of that era. The lead vox, the vocal harmonies, the depth of the over all sound. Superb guitar playing, truly one of a kind. 😊

I was Bushs driver when we went on tour with AIC and Breaking Benjamin Great tour i love all the guys had the pleasure of being apart of history

Breaking Benjamin performing Would by Alice in Chains with the lead singer of Bush, and all 3 bands are touring together this summer. You KNOW I bought tickets to one of their shows. Legendary group of bands.

This is actually the best cover of an AiC tune that I've heard

Their 2 voices combined are freaking amazing!! Perfect combo! Love this cover.

They way they sing together, it almost sounds like layne 😳😳 the sound even is on point and im a here for it 🔥

Darn good, but damn Layne is a tough one to cover

Gavin murdered this. 👏🏻

Gavin singing Alice In Chains. Wow. He’s got the pipes to do it. “They’re not gonna know” Layne Stanley would be proud.

That's as good as music can sound live honestly.

Gavin's still got it after all these years.

No matter who covers them, Layne and AIC are just untouchable! Tons of respect for cover Alice! 🤟🏼

Love how much more love Gavin Rossdale and Bush get outside of their own country. Being british and loving bush since the beginning its awesome

Best cover of this song by far. Rossdale's voice and Ben's backing vocal fits perfectly here

Crazy how it takes 2 incredible vocalists singing in harmony to even begin to capture the surface of what Layne's voice was like. And seeing BB live was one of the best concerts in terms of fidelity I have seen to date. Love them all but Layne was off the charts.

Such a wholesome moment. Of all the songs in both of their catalogues they could have done...they honored Layne. Fucking amazing. Well done. And the crowd is so confused lol

That makes so much sense now. Bay fest, mobile,Alabama. When breaking Benjamin played I was by the stage, I drug all of my friends out to see my most favorite band. The entire show I was singing at the top of my lungs and got Ben's attention multiple times. The group next to us told me that I sounded exactly like him lol. That speech at the beginning makes so much sense now. Man that was forever ago, one of the most fun shows I've been to. I would've given anything to see Gavin and Ben perform together in person! I was a huge metalhead back in the day and when I told all of my metalhead buddies that the best show I had been to was Bush and how hardcore the pit was, they looked at me like I was crazy. This was back in 1997 at the BJCC IN Birmingham, al. Bush had this crazy walkway set up that extended to the floor in the middle of the crowd. Gavin was all over the stage and killing that walkway. Amazing show. Those were the days. The sheer amount of bands that I got to see perform live, for reasonable prices, was just insane. I wish things were still that way. Now it's extremely rare to have any rock or metal acts pass through there. I got to see Nirvana, mine inch nails, bush, Pantera, white zombie, slipknot, mudvayne, breaking Benjamin, Deftones, Sevendust,tool...etc. all in a relatively short period of time. I wish rock and metal would reclaim it's pop culture royalty status again.

2 phenomenal singers paying respect to legend taken from us FAR too soon. A.i.C. isn't A.i.C. without you and Mike Starr. For you, Layne. We miss you 🙏🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼

Holy moly! I did not expect this?! Bush and Breaking Benjamin! Paying tribute to the Awesome band ever! Alice in chains! Nailed perfectly! ❤️🎶
