[@k7680]

@@michaelbackhus1923 Well, the video now has 125.000 views, so there most be a lot of drunk people out there... Further more, I have listened to Layne Staley for over 20 years now, and this cover is extremely good, considering how hard this song is to sing. For a "sober" person, I would say your judgment is rather poor... That being said, no one can ever sing like Layne! No cover will ever do justice, but this is one of the best in my opinion. Also, keep in mind that Brendan Maier is well known for his covers of AIC, wich is quite wierd, considering how you think the difference is so big and the quality is "so so"...

[@michaelbackhus1923]

@@k7680 Oh man, you are pissed. It's ok. He can sing he just doesn't sound like Staley. Why would he want to sound like him anyway. Just write your own material and create something new but do it in your own voice. Look it's not like Cantrell is going to call him up and say "Hey...sending you a plane ticket. We're going on a world tour" "Well known for his covers of AIC". Oh my god....He's a ROCKSTAR. I can't believe I was badmouthing a guy known for his covers of a song. He'll probably ban me from going to see his stadium tour. Could you tell him I'm very VERY sorry. Does he have low self esteem? Tell him I didn't know. Please....just tell him I said Layne would have killed to be able to sing like that. Thanks bud...you're a pal. Don't forget to tell him now. JEEEEZ
