YO!Charlie Benante- Soundgarden Rusty Cage w/Mastodon,Alice in Chains,Metal Al. members 

Very true William is damn vocalist

I seen Alice back in 2019 Download Fest Sydney. I was not disappointed.

Shit I think he's better at covering Chris honesty . Blown away

His name is William Duvall I seen him live AMAZING there's another kid out there who sounds like him too I may be wrong I think band name is skorned🤘 rock on guys!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zmEGwyh6XGw.html

Never gave him a chance , never listened to any aic without layne. It’s like ozzy and black sabbath , no ozzy , no black sabbath. That’s just a personal opinion but I have to say damn , he’s nailed this song.

@actionfigureShowcase Ed is still alive hehehe

BILLY????? lmao

0:20

Couldn't say it any better!

Well said, totally agree, the guy is impressive. Saw him live last year and he did a killer job. Plus I dig some of the stuff he's written for AIC.

Didn't like the guy at first, tbh. Im a huge Layne fan. But he has won me over. Then he comes out and kills this cover! Some guys just got it...

If you guys haven't yet, check out Jerry's interview with Lars.. he talks about William a bit

@@stormsmack69 I know what you mean - i felt the same way about Ray Luzier joining Korn. The groove was way off at first - maybe too rigid, but he's come around and is a general badass on the drums so that helps. BTW seeing Korn after AIC on that tour, both were impressive but wow the energy of Korn was off the charts, just as I recall from the 90's (besides the shitty amphitheater vs floor space only clubs)

William had to replace Layne Staley permanently---now THAT takes balls.

@@blppt Yup, balls been hanging out for awhile now!

Anybody that still shits on this dude has either A: never seen him live, or B: is just a complete fucking moron.

I saw William's tour with AIC along side Mastadon and Deftones. Crack the Diamond Skye tour at MSG. He fucking killed it. They all did. Amazing show.

@@PostProteusKitten For reference, William replacing Layne would be similar to a guitarist today being hired by Alex to replace Eddie in Van Halen. You gotta have some serious gumption to replace a legend, and William has been doing it for years.

It's a b**** that's what caught my ear

Weird, the first thing I thought was how the tone sounded completely wrong.

@@TheMinishKid You do know that the idea of a cover is to put your own spin/sound on it, not to make a perfect recreation of the original? That would be a tribute.

@@TheMinishKid Did I say it sounded identical to the original? I just said it was monsterous, calm down.

First thing that caught my ear. He fucking nailed it.

Even Mudhoney and Pearl Jam? lol

@@guilhermegarcia8750 I'm actually curious as to what he'd sound like on a pearl jam track

He sure does a great job, but Eddie Vedder has such a specific tone in his voice, it's quite hard/kind of impossible to cover it really well if you don't have a similar tone.

I think filling in for Vedder would be way harder as he would have to work harder on his vibrato to match a goat.🤣

sii,

William sounds even better

@@waynet9813 Not even, dude - go listen to the original again and hear how powerful and clear every note that Chris sings is. William does a damn good job here, as I said, but some of the higher notes are not as full and powerful as the way Chris sang them, and don't have the same overall depth and intensity.

Johnny Cash did an amazing job when did a cover of this song.

He sounds good in this cover. Has sucked in AiC IMO.

@@kitplummer I wouldn't say he's sucked, he's just been more of a backup singer to Jerry than a commanding lead singer like Layne was.

Me too 😂

XD

Lmao I can’t believe I got it right

I second that.

I third it.

I hope he puts these songs on an album, though I don’t know how clearances would go with so many record companies involved.

Yep.Charlie and Two Minutes to Late Night are the best at this time.

I'll forth it.

and let's not forget that Cornell both played the guitar and sang on this song!

Ritchie Kotzen also

his microphone is wrapped in a rusty cage

@@Jock-mj4zd vocally yes, but he's got his own guitar thing going on

i do,but jerry over sings william, im gonna search for songs william sings for aic,ps Ilove jerrys voice, but seriously I had no idea william could sing like this,hence the utubing forlayne songs he sings

@@patrickbryant8537 listen to William’s solo album

he does a lot of great vocal work on their recent record, rainier fog, namely so far under and fly

He is totally under utilized in AIC. I understand why, but what a shame as this man can sing.

@@patrickbryant8537 go watch the guitar session AiC edition he kills Rooster and Would. Saw them August of 2019 and it's so badass

Chris was a god amongst mere mortals.

And wrote the song too !!!

@@hinjurock this

They always sounded terrible when they did this song live on guitar. No idea if the guitars were out of tune or if the gear was suspect? Here it sounds amazing.

It's like opera. Those people sing and act at the same time. Sooo talented!

He nailed the song in his own way... damn good!

@LF X you are entitled to your opinion

@Saitama I was talking about what he said about Duvall in Aic but thank you for not being toxic and starting to call people dumbass

@Exaggerated Lean Walk so pearl jam aren't grunge !!!! Grunge was the greatest musical era in history, so go back to bed

@Exaggerated Lean Walk i already have and there is no need for insults !!! If you think grunge never existed that's your opinion, I have my own opinion, and for the record green river weren't grunge and I never said mother love bone, or the melvins were grunge !!!!!

Actually all of them, Soundgarden, Mastodon, and most of the sludgy bands out there were influenced by the Melvins

@@MozTheBoz Melvins and Soundgarden were coming up around the same time. Soundgarden took most of their dark sludgy style from Black Sabbath and mixed that up with Beatles.

@@Jock-mj4zd yeah no disrespect to Melvins. Great band and undoubtedly an influence to all the grunge bands. But Soundgarden had a very distinctive sound

@@Grimeyhoob Not to mention the irregular time sequences

Brent Hinds, Chris Cornell, and Ozzy all have a similar sounding voice. That bluesy powerful singing voice

They also performed hunted down with Layne : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r8gHRyjjj60.html

...my thoughts exactly!!

Seen them three times with William.The man can sing.

@@oscarpicon7164 So did i. I see Alice in Chains in Cincinnatti at Horseshoe Casino 2014 and 2015, and at Taft theater 2016. They introduced themselves as the cast from WKRP in Cincinnatti. It was an old sitcom, pretty funny.

Don't forget Chris

I'm pretty sure Chris Cornell wrote most of their songs. Kim is a pretty original player though. I will give you that

I can’t lie... me too

Hahaha, me too! I rewound it to double check. I have been pronouncing it "tie-ell"!

Everyone is in the same boat but you were big enough to mention it. Thank you.

Yeeeeeeeeup. :-)

I always said it like Thale

The odd-metered drum beat on the slow outro is hard.

Very well said, it has been awesome watching these jams!!

agreed! if anything this year has made it possible for super collaborations - the we care a lot video is also amazing!

@@hinjurock I think every drummer loved Matt Cameron, like every band loved Soundgarden, right from the start! Well, maybe not everyband? Until they heard, and/or saw the band! I was ever so fortunate to see Soundgarden on the "Louder Than Love" tour, in a small club in Syracuse, NY (Lost Horizons). Maybe in 89!? I remember most of the band wearing black T-shirts w/ "90" printed in white on the front (someone explained the reference to me? I forget now). Soundgarden were always the cream of the crop, even though other bands were more "popular", or had more "Top 20" songs, like STP, and Pearl Jam, etc. Soundgarden were loved by more other bands, at the time, then any band I can remember, easily. We had a band and lived above a Metal club(mostly metal). And we were very blessed to meet and hang with many bands! I don't ever remember anyone in a band, not loving Soundgarden, lol! At one local gig, not sure who was playing, but I noticed a guy with a black leather jacket w/the "Badmotorfinger" logo on a cool patch on back. I asked him if he worked w/Soundgarden. Bad ass jacket! He turned out to be Matt Cameron's drum tech! He had some great stories about Matt "improvising" during a drum fill, etc, and how the "Faith No More" drummer was watching Matt play, along with the drum tech, and Matt improvised a sick drum fill. "How'd he do that?", The FNM drummer asked the tech. "I don't know, but he does it all the time". "That's just Matt!" Lol, I remember asking him if Matt smoked bud. "Constantly!', was his answer! An Amazing band! That'd never go on without Chris Cornell. What's great about creating a Legendary band like this, is that their music lives on forever! I'm not sure who's doing what, nowadays, but I'm sure there's other projects on the horizons! Chris's deep, strong voice with that high, piercing scream made all the hairspray Metal singers look & feel like girls, tm.

@@timturk1899 I saw them on that tour as well, at the Country Club in Reseda, CA the night before they recorded the Louder Than Live video at the Whisky. I remember being really impressed with Matt Cameron's drumming and Chris' vocals were godlike.

Yeah I just wish they blurred out it's junk. 😂

That dog is fuckin metal!

He broke his rusted cage!!

@@jase_c-k-y nice!

I hate dogs

Mastodon are the greatest band in metal right now.

@@thecoderofyoutube For 20 years

@Brent Harper I like Tool but Mastodon is better, different from the rest. I like both though.

Better than the original

Was just thinking the same. Watching that part right now. Nailing it.

Maybe he can replace Kurt Cobain in a reformed Nirvana too, then he'd be covering for three dead singers.

@@hinjurock - Mother Love Bone would be a fourth opportunity.

Dude, that would be fuckin 🤘🏻.

JCP is huge. The Sabbath cover too, into the void.... Those would be great to hear again with bill's voice

Jesus Christ Pose is already so metal...

Even better

Sounds like he's getting a little help.

Did he?? I need to check that mutha out...

@@Metal.Is.A.Adicshun Yeah, it's kinda bending the word "gospel" but it's clear he's singing about Jesus delivering him from his cage, and that probably wasn't exactly how Cornell meant it.

@@GeoffBosco Oh man, just saw it. That was good. I liked the first, acoustic half better tho. Cash had that kind of a persona and voice that you'd just listen, amirite? Anyway, fanks for pointing that beauty out, brother! 🤘🏻

@@Metal.Is.A.Adicshun You're very welcome!

when i saw chris solo back in 2015, he talked about johnny's cover a bit: chris actually wrote it for him, but the man in black turned it down, saying it's a soundgarden song. and then five years later, right around the time down on the upside came out, that cover happened. to make it more interesting: chris actually performed johnny's cover that night. chris covering his own song by the man in black - put that in your pipe and smoke it!
