ALICE IN CHAINS - Rooster (Unplugged)

[@aintnow4y]

i dont know what it is but MixedUpEverything and Alice In Chains just go so well together

[@henkoosterhof5947]

Deffinately.

[@icebergslimm853]

I concur doctor

[@munkeeBraynStoo]

It's the acoustic-ness, methinks

[@maynardsdick]

Would is easily one of MUE's top 5 cover videos imo. This one is pretty awesome too. Love the customization on the bass 😂

[@madtod9975]

The singer does really well and always a wonderful sound with sounds from around; awesome family!

[@King_Lobo]

I went down a Alice In Chains rabbit hole at 1am, and came across this. Buddy with the vocals absolutely crushed it. So good I subscribed.

[@midnightflyer7510]

Funny, I went down that rabbit hole on Thursday and still in it here on Sunday! Really been pretty emotional too at times

[@HappyOrangeTheBand]

I just went down in one of those holes. Losin my soul.

[@im.not.a.statue.]

SAME.

[@sandraburkett9124]

Ommg I'm a gonner ....this Canadian chick is a goner...alwayts lived AIC

[@jimsitar2043]

I think they all crushed it, especially the acoustics

[@foreign69]

Layne is smiling from heaven seeing this! 🖤

[@CensorCipher]

Omg Koby’s bass with the same “haircuts” message from the unplugged show has me dying! You guys are truly the greatest. Every song you do is better than the last. True musicians in every sense. Thank you!! ❤

[@munkeeBraynStoo]

I always have to tell em, TURN UP THAT BASS!!! They listened for a few songs

[@jerryscheier2128]

Agreed, very cool and he changed friends to brothers. Nice touch!

[@deutschchad1399]

The haircut quote was directed at James Hetfield and Metallica for getting short haircuts. Not a lot of people knew that.

[@andresvelasquez3858]

Mike Inez would def like it.

[@CateB66]

@@deutschchad1399 although in the actual Unplugged, Inez wrote Friends don’t let Friends….because Metallica were in the Audience and they’d all recently had their hair cut. The phrase was borne from the drink driving commercials ~ Don’t let friends drive drunk. Friendly pisstake to their great friends.

[@stephenadamsmusicalinterpr4203]

Thanks guys! I’m 68. Played this one in the AIC days. My living room loved it.

[@TammyM36]

Just insanely good. I hope Jerry & Sean see your AIC songs. RIP Mike & Layne ❤️

[@AxelsAlaska]

That bass is amazing!! The most underutilized instrument in rock music and here it absolutely shines! Keep it up guys!!!

[@dftns]

Can agree more dude!

[@Kim-ft6cx]

It's because its the same in the original. Their covers are always amazing because of that, they have attention for the details, the instruments in the same pitch of the original, same volume for each instrument and so on..

[@janireediana]

Bass is just the best!! The star in this band

[@allthingscroatia]

@@Kim-ft6cx The harmony on the intro was a little too loud as far as being the same volume on the record but was an amazing cover!

[@mikkeykottak]

KILLER RENDITION. And powerhouse scream @ 4:58 Man you did Layne justice.

[@shawnsimmons1308]

I met Layne backstage at an AIC show and when I was walking down the hallway to the dressing room, he was still crooning and his voice filled that hallway as if he was singing through a PA system. I walked into the room and there he was sitting back on a couch just belting it out. He had so much power!! Well done, my friends!!❤❤

[@codereddew1539]

This song is the sound of the 90's in my book. Love it!

[@Deflow91]

Best Era for grunge.

[@LD-qf7bf]

@@Deflow91 really only era for grunge.

[@Deflow91]

Facts

[@rjallman8705]

Makes sense because the nineties were the flip side of the sixties when the war was

[@philiphorbury2894]

Brother, so right. So right. I'm 47 in a month, but always 17. Always 17. "Army green was no safe bet" X

[@monkeywrench2800]

You guys play Alice in Chains way too good. Never stop!

[@janireediana]

"Brothers don't let brothers get brothers haircuts" Koby is the new Inez... even better 🔥

[@kalt7990]

Hands down one of the best covers of this song I've ever heard.

[@travellingfreaks101]

The best cover of ROOSTER ever!

[@mattrichmond9264]

Man, my buddy Joel just passed away at the end of March. We’d play this song all the time together. And we’d try to play it in different styles. I think we nearly laughed for an hour after we tried doing a metal version haha. Good memories. Miss that guy, though. You guys killed it, as always. If you guys take requests, could you do “Say Hello 2 Heaven” by Temple of the Dog? Rock on 🤘

[@nick1daly]

Loving the nod to Mike Inez’ acoustic bass during Unplugged!

[@stephenbarber6533]

That little descending lick gives me chills every time

[@martim7605]

Cool reference of the bass: " -friends- Brothers don´t let -friends- brothers get -friends- brothers haircuts" Great performance!!

[@WolfSpiritOutdoorz]

Layne you had a way of making people feel your lyrics. Miss you brother. Incredible tribute.

[@Pokerface-tr1ds]

Rooster was the Nickname of Jerry Cantrell's father, who is a Vietnam Veteran. And the lyrics were bits and pieces of the journal he kept during his time in the military. You can double check it on Wikipedia and I think there might be some interviews on youtube with Jerry Cantrell about "Rooster" :) Still... great song and great performance by these 4 boys!

[@XaLoiVlog]

i'm Vietnamese but i'm very passionate about foreign rock bands, especially famous rockers, like their visual style, support the music.

[@leonardking84]

This is without a doubt one of the best covers of this song and it is most certainly my favorite. I've heard it performed live by a number of bands but none of those came close to this. Great job, guys.

[@TexturaI]

The acoustic bass is just perfect. It matches the unplugged perfectly

[@shelliewerner5624]

Excellent job boys...great tribute to Alice...and our prince Layne...gone now 21 years...rest in peace sweet prince...

[@backcountrylifemagazine6912]

Awesome cover boys! Just watched the “Unplugged” AIC show. Layne was raw……singing with the last drops of life. Tough vocals to emulate, especially while playing guitar. Well done.

[@jschlitzski9646]

Thanks for highlighting that. Todd pulls off so many vocals playing as well and unlike many of the singers he is emulating.

[@yrunaked4]

love the Tribute graffiti on the Bass. AIC Unplugged DVD changed my life. The Harmonies melted like hot butter. Fine work guys.

[@claudioignaciobustos1754]

Excelente interpretación , Genios.Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷.

[@saltyguerrilla]

Very well done. Great job on the vocal’s too. We all know NO mortal can touch Lane’s level.

[@Buddyman1225]

Guys I know Layne is up therelooking down smiling at the perfection you guys give his work !

[@luisreyesrock6665]

I loved it! 🤘🎸

[@starrjeffers2730]

Excellent!!! Harmony is perfect, sounds just like Alice! Nostalgic

[@insertgoodname4809]

That big fluffy hair looks so cool with a headband.

[@jarod725]

I really cannot get enough of their MTV Unplugged set, but this cover was ... wow! And the message scrawled on the bass was just icing on the cake. Wish I'd found you guys sooner, but glad to be here now!

[@Dorian-Grey]

Awesome! In one word, Awesome! Great choice in background. The birds flying, the rocks, the water. You all are great performers! You all harmonize beautifully! The pause in between the notes is very powerful and it shows control. Just very awesome guys! Keep it up! I enjoy listening to you guys play.

[@guen4413]

Love the reference to Mike's bass! Absolutely never cut the hair. And those harmonies! You guys never disappoint

[@justbuzzed8313]

We sat with these guys one night and watched our buddy jam with them it was one of the best nights of my life these guys jam and r good peeps

[@juliedechurch6195]

You guys just blow me away - From Sweet Emotion to Rooster. That's it, I'm getting some merch. I gotta support this!

[@Bluesman57]

My absolute favorite Alice in Chains song, especially the unplugged version. And you guys absolutely nailed it. Jerry Cantrell wrote that song about his Dads tour during the Vietnam War. Jerry's grandfather called Jerry's Dad the rooster because he was so cocky. And Koby, the writing on your guitar was the icing on the cake, again absolutely incredible.

[@Nicole-Antonia-JD]

Rooster was also what the Vietnamese called M60 machine gunners

[@onefastneonrt]

Guys that sounded amazing. Thank you for keeping the bands of my youth alive and well.

[@danford7918]

I am an old dude. First concert was Allman brothers in 1974. Ive found somemore brothers that can really play and sing. Im a fan. You guys are great.

[@patycalvillorodriguez866]

Simply amazing version🤗👏👏👏👏🤘👐👐👐👐!!!! Love it💜!!!!My dear Layne is very happy from heaven😗😚😏🤘🕊!!!.

[@fearofnot6433]

Tell you what, seeing 4 brothers doing this and working together is so awesome! ~ Great job! :)

[@916trebor]

Everything about this cover is HOT!! Thanks again MUE. 🎧

[@scottm8429]

This. is. so. good. 10/10 would recommend.

[@randyburdick9022]

That intro was amazing, as was the rest of the song, goose bumps!

[@janismattausch1852]

I recently saw them live at Thomann in germany, they are absolutely amazing musicians and extremely nice people.

[@lindahandley5267]

Guys this was beautiful...the best cover of this song!!!

[@michaelguinn5736]

These four brothers kill it!! I hope & Pray that fame & fortune don't destroy them!!

[@TammyM36]

My thoughts exactly

[@deeberry650]

Like it did Layne...he made a comment in an interview that the more the band has success ..the more they ( the music tyrant label's ) expect.So so sad cuz the success is supposed to be a great reward for many hours of hard work ..not so working for the war Machi es.

[@pamcm1098]

Very well done! The greatest MTV Unplugged ever. RIP Layne.

[@robotsthatlove]

Hypeeee. Been waiting on this one for a while. Thanks guys🙏

[@Juju-l3o]

Younger version of Alice In Chains, style and everything !

[@xxlirione]

Beatiful!

[@dougroberts299]

Fantastically talented! You guys are a rarity, four brothers and all are extremely talented. I hope the best for all of you! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@jania_meireles]

All the covers you do are impeccable and this one is especially beautiful. This shows not only the respect you have for the musicians represented, but also the great professionalism of MUE. Wonderful!!!

[@robertnier5428]

Oh wow these guys are awsome my hats off to you guys, I'm 60 yrs old but I know this song very well and you guys nailed it, I still listen to this song to this day. Keep up the awsome work your doing, peace and love to you my friends.

[@NellyEIEI]

Absolutely love this! The AIC MTV Unplugged album is my all-time favorite!! You guys killed this one 🤘🤘 Love the lead and backing vocals a lot! Epic

[@tonynomel1934]

I got the goosebumps. Such a gorgeous cover!

[@TheCrofttech]

Goosebumps, just goosebumps. Every Alice In Chains rendition is note perfect. I’ve said it before, Layne would be proud. Nice one boys.

[@rodrigodelalcazar1468]

my guy the bass player with the most angelical voice kown to man, love it

[@TheRealKoolaid]

Y’all’s hair is phenomenal. And the message on the guitar is spot on. Great work guys!

[@tjburmesch910]

These brothers were born to cover AIC....the haircut verbiage on the acoustic is a nice touch to the MTV unplugged! Bravo boys, my favorite AIC song!! Very well done!

[@berkmustafaoglu9020]

These guys do the best AIC covers and honestly some of them are just as good as the original versions

[@philippefernandes6145]

Oh yeah, I was waiting for this one! 🗣️ Amazing, keep it up guys!

[@laurawatters914]

That was beautiful incredible guys!! You guys rock, RIP Layne Staley, my favorites are Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam and Mad Season and Temple of the Dog. Very good YEAAAAAAA!! I ❤️ GRUNGE!! Thank you for sharing this awesome video. 😊💓🤘✌️

[@haldeman]

Me and my household pet enjoyed this

[@1958CaddyMan]

Spectacular! You guys take it way above the original. There are a lot of singers that are lucky you guys are here to carry on the music! Keep it going strong! And Koby, great slogan on your bass! Chase off anyone with scissors. Rock On!!!!!!!!

Absolutely magnificent, if you close your eyes you can't tell if it's the original AIC unplugged haha

[@sarahshapiro5859]

This was awesome 🤘Layne smiling down from heaven

[@jschlitzski9646]

Great tribute to Layne and AIC. Todd you did one hell of a job with the hardest part. I knew you had that pitch Koby after seeing you sing backup on Black and Wanted Dead or Alive. Blake you picked the perfect looking guitar, Rock’n but still the Unplugged stylings. Kevin on his Pepper shakers is always where it’s at (if you know you know…). Great job all getting this one to this point before release, hope you add to your shows.

[@philippebeinaerts]

Chills down my spine… so much history and urgency in this performance

[@1620GarageAndFarm]

Great cover, and the guitar tribute to the 1996 MTV performance was spot on !!

[@violetagraziabile9143]

Oh you guys 🖤 you always manage to capture the hypotonic darkness of all AIC songs like no one else. You were right, this is all I needed to hear. Ps: I love Blake twinning Lane with the sunnies. 🙈

[@SolicitorRandolph]

They even got the reference to getting haircuts on the one guitar. 10/10 flawless!

[@jeffnabers9180]

NICE. your voice is getting better and it was already good. you guys nailed it

[@internetsurfer777]

This band has a gifted talent to capture the feeling of songs they cover.

[@Lyssa72]

DAMN!! Absolutely nailed it!

[@abosworth]

Nice touch with the print on the bass guitar! For those that don't know, in AIC's infamous MTV unplugged performance, the bassist, Mike Inez, had a similar statement on his bass in reference to the members of Metallica chopping off their luscious locks. 😂

[@greenwave792]

with 730,000 subs, I hope you guys are making money. You guys are great....A Real live band, take over the world, keep on keepin on.........

[@maniacguitar]
