Man in The Box - (Alice in Chains) Dave Navarro, Taylor Hawkins, Chris Chaney and Corey Taylor 

What’s that even mean lol

@@anthonylaloggia112 that he likes how he looks normally

@@anthonylaloggia112 It was very clear that Dave was dyeing his hair and beard and now he's stopped

Looks like Princess Caroline's assistant form BoJack

You mean less make up😂😂😂🙄

Taylor sounds better.

@@BigBoss1982 lol

@@07foxmulder to me he sounds better.

@@BigBoss1982 🤡

@@BigBoss1982 clean those ears for once then.

No it just shows you what it's like when Jerry isn't there backing all the vocals like he did in aic

Layne had a unique and incomparable voice 🖤

Maynard did a cover of man in the box, he nailed every bit

He didn't even get close! 🤣🤣

Yeah even corey m9ther fucking taylor couldn't pull it off and it's corey fucking taylor

He knows how to sing from his heart and guts. We're so used to using our tongues, that we'd find it utterly impossible to converse without it (it can be done)!

You clearly never heard love gun or when he was younger before slipknot his voice is incredibly high

check out his song with dave grohl from can to cant

@@campar1043 I have and it's amazing!

For reals 👍

Leslie here, I was lucky enough to see T.H.s up close and personal when he played for the great Alanis Morrisette! Love A. I.C. , but didn’t see them until after the passing of Layne.Corey is amazing and such a versatile musician!! We’ve loved and lost so many great rock and rollers! But if a man is not forgotten, he lives forever!! And on RU-vid!! Peace y’all 💋

Breaks my heart is an understatement, man we all love you brother

His energy was never fade away

plus he’s fuckin rocking those drums dude - unreal

ahhh your comment just touched my heart. very sweet sentiment

thin is exactly how to describe it.....the way Layne attacked those notes proved exactly how powerful his voice was

Though I agree that Layne's performances of this song were different, to say the least, at least some of the "thinness" you hear is just god awful mixing.

@@trashcandy. Solid point

@@trashcandy. perhaps.

I think what’s really missing is Jerry’s harmonic backing. All blessings to Dave but he didn’t do all the harmonies and that’s what’s really lacking. His backup vocals are a vital component to what Alice In Chains whole sound is.

@@tempusmusic7026 Paul (?) fucking crushed this. Made it look like child's play compared to Corey.

Theres a certain despair, isolation and broken-heartedness of the early 90s grunge singers that is incredibly hard to replicate. Even today. Every ounce of suffering those guys had was unleashed with each song.

Chorus goes up to a Bb4, not an easy song to sing by any means

Corey has a powerful voice but is weak compared to Layne's.

Layne's voice sounds effortless. He doesn't struggle to reach the notes. Pure power

@@shellyt556 you're an idiot you know the number to you don't know what rock and roll .

The man was able to push his vocals to the absolute brink consistently. Like many have said already in these comments, his vocal chords wouldve suffered for it had he not passed away. He set the bar very high for anyone wanting to cover this song

Except Mark. Mark nails it. Something about him walking in someone else's shoes.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1m9IG66EUe0.html

Fishbone nailed them bones

Listen to the song Seasons by Chout

Taylor was literally one of the best rock drummers ever, and i hope you also realize that you commented this bs two days after he died. good job

@@charliecavness Man, I don't know if you really understood what I said, but I know how Taylor Hawkins was so great since when he was Alanis Morissette's drummer. I just said that I just known this video after he die.

@@charliecavness it's not that deep lol

same.

His face looks like he was dying during the filming of this.

Jerry is the GOAT, one of the best songwriters ever. Shoutout his solo stuff too especially degradation trip vol1&2 which is a masterpiece and just loaded with awesome riffs. Man is a genius

Cantrell’s phrasing, tone, and sense of pace is what really sets him apart. Definitely a master of sonic storytelling and feeling his way around and through a musical narrative. In my book that’s the cat’s pajamas. Shred heads are a dime a dozen. True craftsmen? Diamonds in the rough🪨🎶💎🎶🪨 Meow.

@@puppetmaster8551 Degradation is some of my all time favorite work. It's so dark and heavy yet hopeful

@@shacktime so many shredders everywhere. But not a whole lot of good rhythm players and harmonics like Jerry is

@@googly311 Yeah, sadly people got obsessed with speed and technique at the expense of good sonic storytelling and genuine songcraft. It’s like they mastered and memorized a dictionary but never bothered to study poetry.

@Adolf Hitler Right. Like Disturbed did with The Sound of Silence.

Bro, Corey has a wayyy deeper voice than Layne’s. Layne would struggle to sing slipknot songs as well

And you can bet there is live autotune .. going on here also . Almost every singer uses them now . Layne had to sing 100% himself . I think this guy does a good job still . But Jerry was right when he said he hasn't heard anyone like Layne since . The power and fullness of his voice was on another level .

@@trulyvanvan corey does not have a deeper voice than Layne...

Layne is my all time favorite vocalist and it can be easy to get picky about covers but then i realize he's my favorite vocalist for a reason. Layne's range on paper is about the same as Corey's but Layne put so much more than natural talent into his songs. To understand why 90s grunge singers are so amazing you have to look at their coaching. The vocal coach that taught people like Layne, Chris cornell and many other legends from that era, focused on spiritual coaching and really digging down deep inside to grab every ounce of emotion that you have so when you open up on high notes it sounds genuine and natural. Corey isn't really struggling with the notes here, he's struggling with the tones that Layne refined specifically for his style. A lot of Layne's power and tone comes from his specific resonance techniques and if you don't use his techniques (no vocalist that has already made their name would) you will never match his power and clarity on the top end of his range. Alice in chains wrote their music around Layne's voice and to even sound decent covering one of their songs, you have to match his tone. But his tone was a mixture of spiritual coaching (confidence), raw emotion and technique that just can't be matched by someone who sings with different meaning and circumstances. Also, let's not forget that nobody is going to be as relaxed as a career heroin addict that was almost always high on stage (just being honest). R.I.P. Layne.

@@watchlistenlearn he does

no

@@acharmlessman oh yes. Cobain couldn’t hold a candle to Laynes vocal range or Jerry’s guitar riffs and solos. Sorry, kid. That’s the truth, deal with it.

@@arsnotoria3755 kurt was simple, you could argue that he could be the voice of grunge because he has his name printed on every pink sweatshirt

Mudhoney is the soul still living😜

So haunting....no one can replicate Layne! Thank God for Gen x memories!

It still bothers me how much RHCP fans hated on Dave when he was in the band. He didn't deserve it and I still think One Hot Minute is a great album.

Travis Bracht does: literally channels Layne. go check his Junkhead cover, you will thank me.

side note: corey sounds as thin as a fuking piece of paper, and the over the top reverb is a good indication/trick to fake depth lol

Not versatile here, he’s sucking ass

@@AndThenShwarmaAfter HOLY HELL! thanks for the recommendation. I just looked up a video where he’s singing “Jar of fleas” he sounds just like Layne.

The only other rock vocalist I could think of who could really do Laynes vocals justice would be Chris Cornell and well……..

lol

?

Corey's great, but not on this. His vocals are thin...

He sounded great in this performance

because its run through multiple processing effects

Perfect comment on here. Well said!

Why would he be surprised? People have been covering dead artists' songs forever.

Or maybe everyone's just reading way too much into this and Corey wanted to cover it because A) it's a cool song and B) he wanted to take a stab at showing that he could successfully perform a difficult cover where so many others have fallen short? Maybe that's it in a nutshell.

@@aNewCreation2cor517 Nutshell, now that's a great song too

@@markhunt7218 it's phenomenal! And you caught what i did there, too! I don't know how i missed AIC during the 90s but so glad I've discovered them. Layne's voice just blows me away . Been enjoying Mad Season, too. Have you heard?

THIS.

Tbh I have no idea why he didn't distort the chorus. The original is distorted and it masks how high the note really is, so it wouldn't seem like a struggle. I always thought that's why Layne did it

Corey was better than Hetfield attempting Would

@@s.kanessuperbiatv6464 it starts to get sketchy the more you fry scream at the bitty tip-top of your range like that. Layne’s range was just higher, he also distorted his voice frequently. So there’s condition involved as well I imagine. That’s what I think at least, I actually don’t really know though. I wonder if there’s a way to find out.

@@lilcxtofficial1264 Layne was had a really solid control over register switching, as did most of the grunge singers. Layne's mixed voice is basically the foundation of his tone, while I don't see Corey exploring his mixed voice quite as often. They also both have different ranges; Layne is a tenor; idk what Corey is but it seems lower

@@s.kanessuperbiatv6464 100% agree

i think that people expected a more grave sound from corey at the chorus.

Layne was far greater than Corey ever was at vocals but that isn’t saying much considering layne is one of the best to ever do it

Well said

corey is 48 to. Was 46-7 in that i imagine. Says 2020. corey has a deep voice and this song maybe u can say out of his comfort range.

Corey is an awful singer if you’d even call him that.

Dude, Matt Shadows can barely sing A7X’s difficult songs lol covering AIC is a death sentence to his vocal chords

Кори Тейлор жив, если я правильно понял ваш комментарий.

​@@redneck9202 yes.

I don’t think it would be a good idea for Matt too try AIC’s. because he’s struggling to keep his vocals for A7x. Maybe in his prime but not now.

​@@redneck9202he meant Taylor Hawkins

Staley…Layne Staley…not Stanley

@@ericfryar6241 lol damn, my bad. I must have been smoked up that day! Thanks for the correction 🙃

There might be another Stanley , but there wont be another Staley 😉

@@karenmorton8657 lol well said

What's your definition of close lol?

Dave is criminally under rated

Some extra side love added in ❤️

Yep. He seemed a bit low in the mix though. Everyone did compared to Corey. The OG version seems to have more bite to the guitars

@@kwantoon He really is. He gets a lot of attention for his look and vibe but it’s his guitar playing that really makes Dave Navarro who he is. He makes it look effortless.

@The Lord of Entropy Same here. I was lucky to see The Nothing’s Shocking tour twice and man those were some crazy ass fun shows.

Hell yeah man he fkn killed it🤘

Dave is a great guitar player, has been for many many years.

Everyone was really impressive but that solo really tied it all together. Hell yeah

Right? But how would Corey have the time?😜❤✌

@@CornvilleConsigliere87 Ah well... Corey somehow always findes the time :)

...

Well shit

Goddamit man life's just like that, RIP Taylor:(

Literally? Like he looks blue and shivering? That’s literally cool.

@@eidorian101 you okay?

@@dgrass5846 no, he's right. You're another one of these idiots who throws the word "literally" around without using it correctly. Trying to sound smart when in fact all you've done is the opposite.

Agreed. Anyone who has the balls to cover layne gets my respect.saw them in 94. Fucking awesome!

not even close to handling laynes vocals shut up

Right?!?! Dave surprised me..and the fact Corey did as well as he did singing Layne's part. Despite how insanely difficult he is to even attempt to copy..Dude did a decent job. I will adore Layne till the day I die, I would be the most critical of someone else singing his stuff..but I approve. Only other person I've seen so a good job was Upchurch singing Nutshell.

You’re right. There is actually pretty significant vocal tuning on Corey’s voice. It’s set to the key of the song, so it’s really helping his voice not sound like absolute dog shit in this. I guarantee you all those high notes were at least 20 cents flat before the live vocal tuning. The chorus, delay, and reverb also helped hide the blemishes better.

@Slottz 404 Layne's voice could go really low if he wanted too so i guess he could've sung any spliknot song without any problems.

@@VontiOfficial lmao its literally a vocal effect that on the og song no auto tuning why you hate ING on a great cover your pathetic

@@TheStepmonkey no

😂 ok this was funny.

Now you’ve sewn them shut ;)

For me it’s more so his annoying annunciation and vowel placement. Layne plays with his vowels and leaves them open so in stead of “Feeeed my eyes” it sounds more like “faaade my eyes” Layne doesn’t hit a hard “e” sound, where as corey hit a very hard “e” sound and leave it very closed. Leading it to sound, well, not good. Not to mention is sounds as if he’s pushing close to the top of his range. Also the weird reverb on the vocals is not favored by me personally. I love corey as a vocalist but this was just not a great performance by him in my opinion and he did not do the song any justice. Not that many people can.

Nailed it? What in the fuck

What? Confidence doesn't make it a good cover. Changing it too much becomes something else. I suck at basketball so maybe if we change it to football, I'll be better.

Exactly are we expecting him to sound like the original is just dumb

@@misterdoctorguy different styles perfection is not required

Not sure what you are on about what everyone in the comments is on about. They said they did amazing.

this video should not be seen as tribute, but a disrespect to Layne come on man

@@automachinehead your pathetic

Hey at least it's better than that god awful cover of would that Metallica did

@@gditeorcrish464 When they did When Doves Cry? Yeah as a Metallica fan, I will never speak about that ever again, the weird sound coming from Kirks guitar and Robs stomach was not that good. Great musicians, bad cover

this video should not be seen as tribute, but a disrespect to Layne come on man

@first name it's a figure of speech. No need to get all bent out of shape my friend. I'm fairly certain that I could run circles around you on the topic of comparative theology so let's just not go there my dude.
