FIRST TIME HEARING UPCHURCH- NUTSHELL (REACTION)

[@danielleweeks4552]

Layne Staley was the original lead singer of Alice In Chains which church was singing the song nutshell too

[@danielleweeks4552]

And upchurch is from Tennessee and a huge vols fan

[@natecorning]

This is a cover of Nutshell By Alice In Chains. If you haven't already done "Alice in Chains - Nutshell Live from MTV Unplugged" you totally should!! Layne was on the brink of death and delivered a bone chilling performance of this song. of course this song is about powerlessness in the face of his heroin addiction, and as he said... "If I cant be my be my own... I'd feel better dead." R.I.P Layne

[@zerocool4835]

I was born in 1986 and grew up on this track. I didn't know he made this song on his death bed though

UpChurch is amazing... Rock, Rap & Country..

[@johndeeregreen4592]

Upchurch's catalog of original music is insane. 16 albums in 4 years. Some rap, some rock, some country, some a mixture of different genres... with nearly every single album hitting the Billboard charts -- usually, in several categories. #CREEKSQUAD

[@66ft]

Interesting first upchurch choice. He's a huge KZbin rabbit hole kinda like Tom Macdonald (but a lot more content). Check out Die Tonight. Him and a guy called Adam Calhoun. You'll get an idea how talented him and his crew is.

So glad you guys are checking out Upchurch he is one of the few independent artists out here a real down to earth person that is like all of us loves different styles of music check out some of his rap and country music and his youtube channel you will not be disappointed as always really enjoy yall's reactions !

[@woundedsaint8684]

I'm a first timer here because I just got done listening to that song then you're video popped up. I am in that place now. Hints the reason listening. And I loved that y'all got it. And yeah, they'll never be another Lane Stanley. And Jerry Cantrell is a hell of guitar player. You knew when it was an Alice in Chains song when you heard a couple of notes. You knew That sound was unique along with Lane's voice. His voice was an instrument. I'm a fan of Upchurch and He did that. Thank you both for being real.

[@justaguyjustaguy1963]

HE WAS THE ORIGINAL SINGER IN THE GROUP...BUT HE DIED and was replaced later on...he's the original who wrote the songs etc.. people respect him major...period

[@lucygrace1193]

Y’all definitely gotta check more Upchurch! Upchurch & Adam Calhoun have so many songs together, Back & Forth, my personal favorite, die tonight, hooligans, SO MANY .... get on that Upchurch train & I promise you won’t be disappointed!! He fire AF!! 🧡🧡

[@raymondarend]

Been watching y'all for a minute and I love ya both. GREAT reactions🔥🤘💯 And I'm stoked y'all did an Upchurch reaction. He's my favorite: 2 rock albums and a 3rd coming. A country album with about a dozen singles. And what..... Somewhere like 14 or so Rap albums and about 20 remixes plus a 9 track Rap series called Hideas. Been on the Billboards almost 80 times and at least one gold record. Welllll over 200 songs, all written and performed by him - no ghost writers. And he's independent - no label, even though they've all hit him up.

[@jeremiahfreitag5242]

I tell you guys what. I'm sooo glad to see you guys covering this track. Church is 1 of a kind

[@rockngaming5056]

Jai understands what it's like to not want to tell people about their addiction because of shame and judgement. And she also understands how it feels when someone tells you they understand how we feel when in reality they're the last person that could understand unless they've personally gone through what we've gone through. Congrats on your sobriety Jai, I'm so jealous.

Y'all got to do more Upchurch. Those of us that are a part of the Creek squad we are awesome people... Upchurch is lit. He does Rock, Country and Rap.

You guys have to do more Upchurch reactions he is without a doubt one of the best artist, also the perfect song to spark one up to

[@SoulStrike01]

Layne Staley sang this song originally with the rock group Alice In Chains. Possibly(for me) the most important grunge vocalist of all time. Unfortunately, he suffered the same fate of a lot of 90s era Seattle bands and lost a battle with heroin. He also recorded an album with Mad Season.

[@conquestmomma]

Love Upchurch! His song "F**k It! " Best song for 2020! It'll make y'all laugh!

[@razzledazzle8631]

[@angelabarazzone7899]

This is a great cover, he has his own rock Pond Creek Rd, Blue Moon (country/ rock) remixes of a lot of rap and a lot of really fire rap of his own. Even his bored messing around raps are fire. He Jelly, Struggle, Adam and Demun Jones are friends. He is from right outside Nashville, Tn.

[@GrungeNY]

Layne was the co-founder and vocalist for the band Alice in Chains. He battled heroin addiction for many years before his death 4/5/2002. This is his personal, anguishing call for help. He died alone and in seclusion. Please watch Alice in Chains - Unplugged version of this song. It's heartbreaking...

[@Ravnaak]

Check out his cover of Elvis' Hound Dog. It is so damn good. Ryan can sing rock, country and he can rap. Dude is crazy talented. And yes Ryan is from Tennessee. He is from Ashland City. Its about an hour from Nashville. He still lives there now on a badass ranch called Ghost Ranch.

[@margiemcpeak9304]

Upchurch is a very cool INDEPENDENT artist! "Rollin' Stoned", "Holler Boys" & "Die Tonight" with Adam Calhoun (another independent artist) are some other really cool ones! He's also "crazy" funny & has lots of videos on his channel that crack me up every time! You guys may want to check out Adam Calhoun, Demun Jones, Jelly Roll & Struggle Jennings who are all Upchurch contemporaries. As Church says, "RHEC!" Peace, love and stay safe y'all!🌹💜

OK this video is 2 months old and it is all over the comments, but please do a reaction to the original Alice N" Chains version whether it's the unplugged or album version. It is an important song.
