[@cobrastriesand7693]

@@ZO5150 yeah I clicked, because I assumed he would do it "full-Phil", and it would either be amazing or a total train wreck. Maybe if Layne were still alive he would have been willing to take a bigger risk like, but I don't know, a lot of 90s bands wrote lyrics that were just words that were supposed to sound cool together, but Pantera and AIC songs usually sound like they are about something or somebody in particular, even if you cant tell what or who. Maybe that demands the more conservative interpretation.

Phil could sing as high as Chris Cornell when he first joined, you can hear it on a few songs on Cowboys from Hell. It's just from Vulgar Display of Power he started singing lower and wrecking his voice more over the years. Drugs didn't help much either.

[@jefflitchfield4950]

I'll say this; Phil didn't sing his best here, but what he did was transfer the emotion very well, which in this case I feel was better than technique or prowess. You can tell he felt this song, when he sang "so I made a big mistake, try to see it over my way" you can feel that he feels that too. There couldn't have been a better aic song for Phil to do, and it was great. Cool to see duff rocking with them as well.

Everybody saying "this just shows how good Layne was if even Phil's struggling with this song". I am not taking anything away from Layne or from the difficulty of performing this song properly, but Phil Anselmo was well beyond his prime here. He recently got off the heroin and his voice was completely destroyed after heavy shouting and careless incorrect singing over many years. If Layne sang the type of music Phil was singing, his voiced would have burnt out a long time ago and he wouldn't be able to reach those highs either. Phil Anselmo would have NAILED it perfectly if he performed this in 1988 - 1996.

Phil has the harmonies down. Great job Anselmo! He brought the heart!

[@PressuredSpeechBand]

Cool to hear the timbre of Phil's voice to this song! \m/

[@VayaconChupacabra]

YES!!! THis works very well!! Anselmo in Chains!!!

[@frnkytherockstar7760]

He really nailed it

[@notsure1969]

I was thinking Pantera in Chains but yours sounds better.

[@mikebrosky7836]

Phil can’t do it exactly like Layne, that’s Alice In Chains’ sound. He gave it the ol slight pantera Phil sound. I think he did good. And also Jerry Cantrell is very overlooked and under appreciated.

[@vadimastprojects8770]

Phil is way past his prime here. We never got to hear post-prime Staley, so we don't know how bad it might have been.

[@4ctmam]

@@vadimastprojects8770 That's a very good point right there.

[@rodneyvanekeren5207]

Perfect rendition.Straight from the heart.

[@Wolfie742]

Layne was the the BEST vocals(I MEANT THE BEST EVERRR) when it's comes to grunge and rock but have to give the props to Phil for his effort.. You obviously can't compare between AIC and Pantera.. Two different legendary bands at their best..

[@MLCrow]

True...and try to put/imagine it the other way around (Layne properly singing a Pantera's song). I can't really...no matter if Layne is my favorite vocalist ever...whatever...Phil here deserves respect (at least).

[@TR-yi8up]

Admirable effort. Just good to see Phil doing well

[@TimmyGMusic]

Phil sounds great here! His gritty vocals suit the song well :)

[@craigjillson6050]

One of my favorite songs. Look they wrote it, it's great. Doesn't matter who does now. Like a relay or Olympic tourch, just gets passed on.

[@benbond3433]

If Phil did this earlier on, like during the Vulgar days, then this would've been off the chain. Still, this was an honorable performance from him. Funny thing is that Layne was how much smaller in stature than Phil, and yet Layne could roar like an absolute giant...like another legend, Mr. Ronnie James Dio. AIC's performance at The Moore, doing "Love, Hate, Love"? Forget it. Jerry did this beautifully. Think about it...Pantera's vocalist lost his guitarist, and AIC's guitarist lost his vocalist. That's kinship right there.

[@davidedemurodominijanni9889]

LOVE HATE LOVE is my damn song, the best song ever and the greatest song of AIC. Layne was godsent when I heard it for the first time. That song is pure pain and sorrow... no song will ever represent my feelings better than that. Layne was my heart and soul finding voice!

[@DouglasSnodgrass-bz6bb]

Phil is doing just fine. He is just a different flavor

[@snipertsx]

I just realized. This song is friggin 28 years old. I remember when Dirt dropped. What a masterpiece.
