Aaron Lewis Covers Alice In Chains - Nutshell DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER!!

[@traviscoates6878]

I will NEVER be able to hear the first 30 seconds of Nutshell without drawing a tear. God I love the nostalgia of music. AIC was my youth, and I fucking LOVED my youth! RIP Layne

[@connormatthews522]

fucking tragic isn't it, but so beautiful. layne was a master at making the listener feel what he was feeling when these words came to him, and aaron does this song such justice

[@mikebizz1263]

Hey travis coates..I love AIC and Aaron (actually used to work for him as a guitar tech) but if you want a great suggestion, just from me reading your comment, go check out this guy "Upchurch".. He started off doing funny blogs, and he is actually a country rapper..lol..But you when you hear his cover of Nutshell, you will be blown away..Trust meon thisone..!! The video actually got taken down for a little while by KZbin because they thought it was a copyright infringement because they thought it was actually Alice In Chains doing the song..So trust me you need to check it out..!! Actually here is the link to it to make it easier for you..Trust me it's not spam..lol.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4fSYaOknZV0g5o

Never have i ever heard nutshell and not gotten goosebumps. What a boss cover, perfectly done. That strumming pattern is not as easy as he makes it look, especially singing to.

I was thinking the same thing (the strumming pattern).

There’s such honesty in the way he pulls it off… Layne would appreciate.

Too bad it's wrong

But that's besides the point. It's still a great cover

[@brendaducharme8434]

Aaron Fucking Lewis IS AMAZING!! Period. I've been a fan of his music since Dysfunction dropped & I've NEVER heard him sing a "bad" anything, ESPECIALLY his covers. I've lost count of how many times I've seen Staind & Aaron solo & when he sang both this song & "Comfortably Numb" it just sent shivers up my spine & spread goosebumps everywhere....I KNOW Layne was looking down, smiling & singing 🎶 along with Aaron 😊 His music got me through some pretty dark times in my life. When I told him that one night, after a solo show (at a completely not planned M&G lol) he told me that made him very happy to hear & He, quite humbly thanked me for being such a loyal fan, bc he KNOWS that without all of his fans, he wouldn't be where he is today ❤

[@Spartacus45]

What a great tribute to Layne and Aaron's acoustic voice is just outstanding!! Rest in peace Layne, hope your troubles are now over, God bless you!! 🙏

As great as th Seattle fab 4 were, Layne's voice & lyrics from AiC resonated more w/ me than all th rest. I loved Chris' voice & Soundgarden, Audioslave, etc.. but Layne really got to me, soooo much emotion. RIP Layne💙

[@loganmattingly5270]

Absolutely! I think I was 8 years old when I heard dirt, or facelift maybe, and it set the stage for my entire taste in music and talents. What was your first AIC song? Oh!!! Around this same time, soundgardens “spoon man” lived in my CD player, along with bush 16 stone and razor blade suitcase

[@gizzy2403]

@@loganmattingly5270 I got to see AiC before I knew who they were! It was awesome & kinda messed up b/c they opened for Ozzy on his No More Tours, tour, & we really thought Ozzy was hanging it up & retiring or moving on to something else, so nobody gave af about th opening act. AiC really won people over by th end of their set, Layne was on crutches & had a wheelchair he'd roll around in singing😅 He also cracked some security guy w/1 of his crutches over th head for getting rough w/a fan. It was awesome & they finished w/ Man in th Box, which reached out & grabbed me, so it would've been my 1st AiC tune. After I saw them, I went & bought Face-lift & soon to follow Dirt, soon as it hit shelves. Oh, you'll like this, yrs later in early 2000's I dated a girl who lived in Seattle in late 80s-90s, & her boyfriend played in a band & practiced @ th same wear house that AiC did before they were famous. She got to hang out& party w/AiC & her boyfriends band after they rehearsed. This was 2-3yrs before AiC broke big & she said Layne was sweet, flirty & goofy, a really,nice guy. I miss that guy, RIP Layne🍻 .

@@loganmattingly5270 oh yeah, Jerry's a genius! I'm sure you've heard his new songs, they're fkn great. When AiC was on their ' Dirt ' tour they came through my hometown & I was sad b/c I couldn't afford to go but a bunch of people ik went . Several guys that I went to H.S. with were in-line to get in & they dragged a couch out of an alley, set it on fire & started jumping up & down on it in th street😅 I think 2 got arrested for it. It turned out for th best I didn't go b/c Layne came out staggering & couldn't remember th lyrics & ended up falling down! Then Jerry freaked out & went into a rage b/c of Layne & he started smashing stuff & that ended th show after 4-5songs. I think they canceled th rest of their headlining tour & opening for Metallica after that so Layne could go to Rehab. Man, they were not meant to last, but their light burned bright for a while🍻

It’s was also a very important song for Layne. One he wrote for his late girlfriend who unfortunately overdosed. The pain he sang this song with can’t be reproduced. But it’s a damn good cover. Props.

[@TCIAdventures]

Great observations and well said! Agree 100%

[@loganmattingly5270]

Referring to your, “in 2021 Arron Lewis is winning you over, comment, I feel impelled in at least attempting to influence you to spend some time with stainds’ 3rd studio album “14 shades of grey”. This album is a friggin Gem. And it’s All the B-sides that are gonna melt your face. Perhaps you are already aware, but he won me over in the early 2000’s, and it had little to do with the radio hits. “Fray” “could it be” “fill me up” “yesterday” to name a few… Gold, bro!! Cheers!
