How old are you?

Out of all the covers/rendition of this song this is by far the best I've heard. I kinda like Johnathan Davis' cover too but this is pretty fire. Gavin is a underrated singer. Has his own style and so reminds me of growing up. Glycerin is one of my favorite songs. His vocals were perfection

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

If you think this song really sounds like Gavin, your ears don’t work very well. This is clearly altered audio. I know his voice very well, and it hit me like a wall how much this didn’t sound like him. He is older now… Don’t expect him to not get technical help these days from the industry who likes everything to be glossy/polished - as when singers get older, their voices get worse (see Eddie Vedder singling Given to Fly live as a tribute to Michael J Fox, for example... that’s what our musical heroes REALLY sound like as they get older. They can’t hit those notes like they used to). This wasn’t how Gavin really sounded - I guarantee that!

subjective, original is great obviously, but me and evidently many others find this better, not by a slight, but by a lot, technically and sonically. its still aic's composition and lyrics tho, without them there wouldn't be this, and if its a sentimental song then you'll prefer the nostalgic sound. so ''as good'' is subjective to you cause its -your- all time favorite band. its a rendition, its not meant to sound the same its also in every way( except sentimentally to you) better. homage is paid, i love alice in chains and i love this song, and you can like whatever you want, you can dislike this if you dont like it, its entirely your choice, but bold statement to make, especially on their video, especially when its obviously paying tribute to alicei n chains, ben opened saying it was a core memory and how much of a fan he was, here he is years later, doing what he loves, something immensely monumental to him, and again, objectively better than the original, for you to try to render it obsolete ''ah no one will ever be as good but its good.. for you'' could've just said i love alice in chaincs and this song and its a great cover, it communicated all that matters without the ignorance.

It's auto tune

[@waynebeard4605]

The intro got my attention, then it went thru me like a dream and I was back in 1992, drinking beer and watching Headbanger's Ball. The vocals and the entire band were into it. Amazing

[@mistymorace4654]

This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE AIC song. They absolutely knocked it out of the park!!! Layne is definitely smiling ❤

[@robdobble6672]

I thought the story was going to be about him going to see Alice In Chains

[@ego_sarx]

yeh, me too... I was like "wow, this is a great anecd... dahekyosaid?!?!?"

[@miamdwa]

Christopher Bingham Yeah and Razorblade Suitcase is actually a really good album

[@miamdwa]

Christopher Bingham Yeah I know I just like all the songs on Razorblade Suitcase compared to 16 Stones where there are a few that are not that good. There also a couple of really good songs on Science Of Things like 40 Miles From The Sun

[@WornDownSaint]

Don’t be dismayed. It just means that Gavin is completely a fan of AIC and the band was still totally into the song.

[@yerawizardaiden]

I know right??

[@sydster9271]

the way he hugs gavin when he walks out is so sweet, hes so humbled, and everything about this is so amazing

[@emanonic82]

I love how Gavin stands in his tippy toes while singing at 4:10 🎤🎶❤️🥰

[@HI-po6qr]

Yes

[@zaidani89]

It's like his trademark I guess...

[@guitarguy420]

thats so funny cause i do that a lot too when i play and sing

[@Grrnal-d4q]

The rhythm section build up at the beginning of this song is one of the best examples EVER of why rock music fucking rules…. 🤘🤘 They did the vocals justice too…🤘

[@paulthompkins4150]

I absolutely LOVE Breaking Benjamin and BUSH. Hearing them sing one of the greatest songs ever has made my day. Gavin Rossdale is so horribly underrated.

[@CornvilleConsigliere87]

AIC is my favorite band of all time and I have always said Gavin Rossdale is an underrated all around musician. Lots of talent singing songs from lots of talent. God I love Grunge and Rock!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@rofflesvanwagon]

Seeing Breaking Benjamin in 2004 was so incredible. They came out on stage, Ben said "sorry I'm a bit under the weather" and they jumped in unison as Home started playing. It was mind blowing

[@heatheral-hammadi3046]

Ben says that at the beginning of every concert I’ve been to. He is a hypochondriac. He has done interviews about this. He always kills it every time tho.

[@toncitafra3151]

Gavin Rossdale is the only singer that I heard who can sing a cover of this song. Respect.

[@cesarcandanozah7150]

XD

[@s1dNess]

I might be wrong but I think their cover is not in the same tone as the original but I think a bit down.

Well, not really a cover but… some guy named William Duvall can do it pretty good.

Jfc this is the best version I have ever heard of Would. I think dude from BB would be the karaoke king of all time

[@TheSamuraiApocalypse]

They murdered this track. Love the tone of the guitars, drums were nice and punchy, and the vocals were clean as hell but dirty in all the right places. The production was on point too.

[@Ghettiquette]

Gavin murdered this. 👏🏻

[@The_One_Cosmos]

Benjamin Burnley killed these vocals. Awesome tribute that did the song great justice!

[@CUOREyogaymasajes]

No matter who covers them, Layne and AIC are just untouchable! Tons of respect for cover Alice! 🤟🏼

[@griselcaraza5284]

Exactly, I usually get mad about someone’s else even try to perform, especially this song, but my respects and admiration, I love both, and this performance is great!!! I wish I can be there on live, two great singers together!!!!♥️♥️

[@shanesnedeker4817]

HOLY F***!!! This is my favorite AIC song. Was 14 when Dirt came out. IMO its the best all around album I have ever heard. Its nuts how well Benjamin and Gavin exceeded expectations. You guys made Layne and crew proud. Speechless

[@Hypersp4ce]

Dirt is a masterpiece. It's a very special album that I hold very dear to my heart and soul. I think Would is one of the greatest songs ever written

[@thatfrenchcanadian5779]

Still watching this in 2024. The fact that they didn't do a Bush song, they didn't do a Breaking Benjamin song. They did a Alice in Chains cover and nailed it live! Just incredible, amazing singers

[@ptr_does_music7042]

@@IvanDaniel28 it was much more of a jam and tribute to AiC for them, than an actual attempt to do something flawless (Layne is unreachable), and apparently kind of a stressful performance for Ben. That being considered, they both hit the notes just fine, which is great!
