@@jonathanakehurst4489 corey Taylor and "sucks so badly" can't stay in the same phrase. Best Rock/Metal Vocalist currently alive. Layne was Layne, that's true, but he did him honor. The audio quality of this sucks, if he could go in studio and actually study the song he would deliver a stunning version of it because he is THAT good. So yeah, basically just shut the fuck up clueless wannabe.

[@whereisevan]

Jesus...give Corey a break. There will never be another Layne, but Corey Taylor has a KILLER set of pipes and musical versatility that only a small handful of popular vocalists could ever claim. He does this song absolutely no disservice. If you think otherwise, you need to open your mind and your ears.

[@fendrman9582]

He changed the words that's lame as fuck

[@whereisevan]

Seriously? The guy sings in two fucking bands on top of all the side projects like this. That's a lot of lyrics to remember. How do you think you would fare with all that? And besides, Layne fucked up his own lyrics quite often. Just shut up.

Band of the week at best.

[@amunra4256]

This was a fantastic cover. Yes, obviously Corey couldn't flawlessly cover Layne's vocals; nobody can. Still a wonderful performance, and it clearly shows their love for the song and AiC

back when I wore a younger mans clothes I spent 7 years chasing the dragon...... out of every band I have ever heard and every song I have ever played, there is no one that can conger up the feelings of being in that much pain, better than Layne. The strength of his voice was only matched by the power of his words. Corey is great at his craft and I will follow everything he does till one of us dies but Layne will always be the god of music..... he will never be anything less than THE god of music. Love to hear Corey cover it, one of the few people that can show it the respect he commands!

[@joshdrumheller4920]

I don't get why so many ppl bash so many singers for covering an AIC song. I grew up on them seen them live, and let me tell you, their new material and its so fucking good. Jerry has a unique voice that when combined with Duvall is a great harmony all to itself. But Corey covering is is great. he has so much voice and power to him its amazing. and when you do covers, you make it your own. that's what he did. when anyone covers an AIC song I mostly like it due to the twist put to it. like on the Somewhere In Burbank album Stone Sour just put out, they cover "We Die Young" and its amazing. Layne would be proud. Besides Jerry created AIC. he discovered Layne so for all you out there, think about that when y'all scorn him and say"He should rename the band". What y'all fail to realize is he has kept it alive all this time and resurrected an all-time great in 2009. their dark sound is like none and NO OTHER BAND will EVER come close to it.

[@thomaskurina1170]

Yeah your very misinformed

[@jonathanakehurst4489]

Corey sucks!

[@mikeandike2021]

I agree with you man but jerry created alice in chains and layne found jerry because at the time he was nearly homeless and layne showed him a place called the music bank which was where layne was living and it was a recording studio with 15 rooms so the new AIC would record there after convincing layne to join the band. Ignore the assholes in this comment section they tell you you're wrong but don't even bother to tell you why you're wrong or the story of how layne met jerry

[@TheNinjaToothpick]

I like how no one points out Jason is over there playing the guitar upside down he's a lefty and managing to do chords and everything with the guitar inverted Bravo Sir! You can ever see him focusing intently at the beginning of where his hand is

They will never do AIC any disservice just bc of how much love and respect they have towards AIC. So many great musicians like Corey Taylor were inspired by AIC and I know that that makes AIC proud and I know Layne would be so happy seeing people sing his bands songs.
