Alice In Chains - Nutshell (Cover)

[@gilpinsteven]

John Wick plays a mean cover of AIC! Well done. Love the lead guitar line and harmonics, absolutely stunning. Vocals are spot on.

[@rivercrombie]

Thanks, man! Much appreciated. I will certainly check out John Wick.

I'm sitting in piazza spagna in rome, the sky is cloudy , yet the full moon is seen through the clouds. Listening to this cover with my eyes teared up. Love your channel man. Cheers from italy.

sending positive vibes and hugs brother from your Italian American across the ocean. Inhale positive vibes brother

[@JefCollier]

Listening to this 6 months after you, staring at the skies in the northeast NA and feeling just like you, mate.

[@tristram6395]

River these Alice in Chains covers are fantastic mate. Super awesome. Keep coming back to listen.

[@michael_leclezio]

agreed with @tristram! :)

[@adrianb1430]

Learning to play guitar means you’ll never feel lonely. This cover moves me to tears. Thank you

[@janikjhauj9263]

Best cover I’ve ever heard of this song

[@ericm4426]

Watch the southern guy sing it

[@oliverpedersen1428]

Try to hear dalton dummers cover then

[@michielweisbeek3283]

By a mile

[@dougr.6734]

Upchurch takes that accolade.

[@Emzime83]

Same.

[@tracyandrews4175]

That was incredible. Impeccable guitar performance!!!

[@PowerChucker]

I bought this CD when it came out, and all these years later this song can bring a tear to my eye.

[@pikhto_music]

great precision there with the harmonics! this song resonates deeply in the hearts of many of us... thanks for sharing your vision!

[@ELZZZORRO]

Absolutely outstanding! You're nothing short of extraordinary. Thanks for sharing.

[@rivercrombie]

Thanks so much! 🙏

[@davidclark3588]

Never seen someone rock the Lord Farquaad cut so hard. Or this song. Every cover he does is 10/10

[@mittenthaleric]

Been listening to this guy for half an hour… he kills every cover I’ve listened to so far. He has great restraint Doesn’t over do it I’ve learned a lot in 30 minutes

[@pedroarthur7488]

We chase misprinted lies We face the path of time And yet I fight, and yet I fight This battle all alone No one to cry to No place to call home Ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh Ooh-ooh My gift of self is raped My privacy is raked And yet I find, and yet I find Repeating in my head If I can't be my own I'd feel better dead Ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh Ooh-ooh

[@jrochamp3]

It's in my memories too. I still have their album Jar of Flies.

[@TheAppalachianStoryteller]

I literally stopped working and spent 15 minutes listening to a few of your covers. Very heartfelt and genuine. Bravo!

[@liam.liam.liam.liam.liam.liam.]

Man I keep coming back to this cover. So great. Heavy chunky bass notes and light high notes… and the harmonics!! Forgot how much I love Alice in chains and playing my guitar. Thanks mate

[@PatrickStewart316]

Didn’t miss a lick, literally. The playing. Those harmonics. Chef’s kiss.

[@knowahnosenothing4862]

Only Chris Cornell songs show his range limit. (Not trying to detract at all. )

[@Sizko969]

It was a great cover until I heard the harmonics, then it became a superb cover. Those little arrengements, at least for me, trully shows the essence of the whole song. You just won a sub

[@rivercrombie]

Thanks, man! I feel the same. I've always loved those little guitar parts so there was no way I was going to leave those out! Peace.

[@RC-pm5rd]

First came across “ down in a hole” then immediately started looking for this cover… you nailed it

[@shaner3918]

Same!

[@varthdata]

My close friend said he wanted this played at his funeral. We didn't know we'd be playing it a few weeks later. Check in on your mates. Thanks for this awesome version.

[@rivercrombie]

That's sad to hear, man. All the best to you!

[@dougaduncan]

Another gorgeous cover of Alice in Chains. These songs always touch me deeply. The expressions of anguish and pain that come with this life. Staley shared his inner states with us with his one-of-a-kind voice. What a talent he was. You capture the sound and the mood beautifully.

[@squizsquad5091]

"If I can't be be my own, I'd feel better dead" doesn't come close to home, then Idk what will hit your soul at all homies... Shit hits my soul like a Tsunami I've been holding back my entire life. What a wonderful cover.

[@michael_leclezio]

hey, just wanted to say you're not alone in relating to this. powerful words. would be cool to make a connection with a stranger who relates. where you based ?

@@squizsquad5091 cool. I'm in South Africa, east coast. Let's meet up for a beer 😉

[@michael_leclezio]

Oh I've been listening to this song the most lately and learning it on the guitar and vocals. Discovered it only like a month ago. It speaks to my soul.

[@michaelhampton6198]

Have never "liked" an AIC cover until now. Excellent job!

[@KainenBurgess]

Dude I feel you it takes a VERY VERY talented person to make me like or even listen to any attempts at trying to cover AiC but this song specifically I'll pick it to the bone! But I'll recommend a couple you may not have heard before Dallas Green AKA city and colour does a few cover songs that are really good a guy named Larry fleet recently did a cover of nutshell that was really impressive!

[@coleslawowens349]

Check out Alicia Widar's cover of Down in a Hole, one of my favorites AiC covers

[@mrpennyapple4217]

I would highly recommend City and Colour's versions of 'Nutshell' and 'Rain When I Die'. Both really, really incredible.

[@Baking_baked]

Check out billy strings cover of it. Its really special

[@SOS.Especialista]

I don't know you, but I think we're on similar journeys...so I say, keep going. The sound you make is making a difference to someone, right now, to me. Congratulations on the work! I hope to develop the talent so I can post some songs too.

[@rivercrombie]

Thanks for your comment! If you practice a lot you'll reach your goal, my friend. You'll be posting in no time :)

[@suawomir]

It's really beautiful. Your voice tone, guitar skills, and feeling, sounds true and inspiring ❤

[@colindangerriversong217]

Hey River. Have been a huge Alice In Chains Fan for almost 2 decades now. I would not even bother commenting on someone’s rendition unless it was absolutely immaculate. What I am captured by is your ability to truly channel the song’s essence yet remain true to your own natural voice and talent. Really great fucking work here man. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us!

[@freddillon3274]

Tough one to play and sing. Excellent job. Nailed that funky little rhythm, and the lead riffs were a nice surprise.

[@jeremyguidry7500]

Best cover hands down!! Please make a tutorial for the solo!!

[@welcometochilis764]

At first I thought you were playing the vocal track over your guitar playing! What an excellent performance! Keep it up, what a pleasure to listen to.

[@keicam_]

Love it man! A beautiful, natural sounding voice with a nice subtle rasp, and great guitar skills too! I'm so happy I found you!

[@rivercrombie]

Thanks, man! I appreciate it :)

[@SamLMoarDrumz]

Bloody beautiful, I absolutely love the natural harmonic twist on the chorus section!

[@alongthewatchtower]

Excellent cover. Music is the time capsule of our lives. This video took me back…

[@MutantWorm]

Sh* man, I’ve been playing it wrong all this time. Epic on the harmonics. Awesome.

[@squiz598]

I feel very lucky I stumbled on your channel, amazing. I wish I had a voice like yours, but I happily settle for hearing it. It has moved me. Thank you for sharing your talents. I hope you are doing well.

[@cspag315]

Brought me chills man. Great job!

[@OakleytheRottie]

Love it you’re obviously tuned down, id love a breakdown those harmonic licks and the dropped tuning makes it even more badass. Well done!

[@Hamlet815]

such a gentle voice and tone... very touching and beautiful - you are master

[@miguelabreucoelho]

Love the little solo parts, it's perfect. Best cover of this song I've seen so far.

[@Iron_Thunderstorm]

I’m on a guitar journey as well, and I find Alice In Chains songs to be the most satisfying to learn. A perfect stream of grit weaving through a base of beauty…Not to mention lyrics you can deeply become connected with. You sir are doing an excellent job, and it shows you connect with their songs and have put lots of time and passion into playing them. Thank you for sharing

[@michaelp8856]

coming back around again. just keeps getting better and better each time i listen to you. the voice is just so right - so right on. you the real deal. thanks!

[@studiousness]

I thought that "black" was going to be top 1 and difficult to beat but brother... I found this and there is no turning back. What a beautiful piece, thanks for sharing, great work. I loved

[@treasurewilds8300]

I love your cover! This is one of my favorite songs 🤍

[@stevezilla68]

My god, I wish you and Jerry Cantrell could perform this together.

[@wendigoandthenightmare]

Nice dude. I'm glad my algorithm decided to recommend you. Great channel.

[@KevinQualls]

Fantastic, River! Love this cover!

[@rivercrombie]

Thanks, Kevin!

[@waynedowling6593]

This is absolutely magnificent! I was a teenager in the 90's but didn't listen to any of this kind of music , wish i had, alice in chains are amazing band!

[@KevinQualls]

Peaceful and beautiful! I don't remember this tune on any of your albums. Did you just finish this one?

[@ShaunPanzer]

Damn …. I love your covers and I would think the band could appreciate it too ! Thanks for sharing

[@ExtremeEpicChaos]

Absolutely disgusting (in a good way) I never thought of adding harmonics to the lead. That's genius man!! You kick ass!

[@rivercrombie]

Thanks, man! I played this a bit too fast so I wouldn't mind doing a newer slower version at some point. Cheers!

[@7opher619]

Aw, I was so excited to hear the falsetto "ooo's". I refuse to believe that you can't capture a similarly haunting falsetto to Layne given your voice and singing. There must be another reason and I need to know.

[@marcpocho7489]

Well done dude, this is deep! Thanks!

[@preparetobedazled]

Wow man! The guitar playing is impeccable! Sounds so freaking rock n' roll. Your singing is fantastic too

[@mattieb3152]

River, second vid of yours I've watched of you covering a fave song of mine and WOW! spot. On. Another more than 5 stars out of 5 one. Keep it up mate 👌

[@rivercrombie]

Thanks, mate!

[@theBoss3121]

My all time favorite song. You are by far the best singer of Alice and chains. Also mad season

Thank you, my friend!

[@fototripper]

Just excellent. Love the the integration of lead lines phase into chords. Tricky to do.

[@michael_leclezio]

Beautiful, again. Watched this straight after your Down In A Hole cover. Beautifully translated. Agreed those solo parts do make the original very special - well done on incorporate them in your version! Also been listening to this song a lot lately. Soothing and heavy at the same time. Hits deep. So true what he says "if I can't be my own I'd feel better dead". Powerful. Looking forward to listening to your Audioslave - I am the Highway rendition! :)

[@varminttank]

I play guitar and write songs also.. Iv seen a 100 covers of this and I got to say yours is at the top my friend. Keep rocking dude

[@fatelvis138]

The more I listen the more I love your work! Nice cover selection too!

[@AlBrownComedy]

Challenged myself with the solos on this a couple years ago. I'm not great at lead usually. But I'd put it off for 25 years. You’re amazing.

[@trscsaeg]

This song with some thunder in the beginning and rain throughout would be amazing

[@JVR-lu4zd]

I recently came across your videos really enjoy your talent. Vocals and guitar are on point. You should have video tutorials of some of your covers really enjoyed Nutshell and also River of Deceit.

[@tychormthorp]

Superb work. The decisions you made 🎸 were perfect for the material. I hope to cover this half as well someday.
