Alice In Chains - Nutshell (acoustic cover)

[@proflucasc]

It's crazy how in our heads we can hear Mike Inez's bass accompanying you guys. Another great job!

[@jolkraeremeark6949]

The acoustic bass in the MTV Unplugged is absolutely stellar. This rendition is very well done!

[@SnapMeBollix69]

Mike and Sean in the rhythm section for the unplugged gig played out of their skin... gave it such depth, feel and control for an acoustic gig... probably the most technically brilliant sound management of what was a doom metal / grunge band used to playing heavy and loud af... Also this cover was epic, dare I say it brought a different dimension than the way layne sung it... the vibrato was hair raising... don’t get me wrong though laynes version is and will always be absolutely incredible (one of my AIC favourites) but there are other songs which layne’s voice stands out as unparalleled in particular...

[@clintg3435]

Bum bum. Bum bum bum.

[@Untold8065]

So true!!!

[@anameisrequired]

I can hear the audience too.

[@Benjamin-fv6tg]

We need more like this in times of permanent autotune and overmixing. Little is more. A great acoustic guitar, an awesome voice and a ton of emotion. That is what music is about. Thanks for uploading :)

[@jaybomber57]

Well said ! that being the case these guys are too good to just sit and throw out live music with passion. It needs to be recorded along with a live version Compromise!

[@sonnygarcia5735]

couldn’t agree more

[@timdornbusch4820]

I got chills!!!

[@jessebradford3900]

It is. If you've noticed which you have a long time ago singers sung. They didn't try so hard but still had heart without trying so hard. Quite satisfying.

[@Jackzay90]

this used to be the standard. Now it's all bleached ass hole versions of songs.

[@Dingo19206]

I’m pretty critical of people trying to cover this song. But having said that, I think this was pretty damn good! Well done John!

[@joshuaburton9662]

And Bas

[@arietcela3481]

There s also bas dude..

[@Sms68]

I agree. They do some incredible tunes. I attempted this many years ago after seeing AIC at the Tower in Philly. Incredible Show. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZyTi5usmdGKatE

[@Kultivater]

You must not be too critical, because his rhythm on the guitar part in the beginning was almost completely wrong. The rest of it was good though. Vocals were the best part.

[@Dingo19206]

@@Kultivater I was only referring to the vocals.

[@rickfansler8933]

At 2:12 you forgot you were being recorded. That is the moment where you opened up. Nice work! Great falsetto to boot.

[@lovrotomic8422]

Oh man them grunge song covers get you right in the heart, you are amazing man!

[@ryano460]

Really fits his voice yes!

[@paulmurphy5244]

Yes he's a very good singer! I wouldn't call AIC grunge tho. Not even alternative really. They were straight up hard rock! Like Sound Garded were.The two best and most talented bands to come out of the whole so called Seattle music "scene" in the early 90s in my opinion!

[@rodneynoble6046]

Emo for old men ❤

[@JohnWaltonTaylor]

Next: River of Deceit!

[@ryano460]

Would be amazing !

[@SnapMeBollix69]

Wake up is mad seasons best song

[@beppenike81]

I hope for wake up too

[@Feliperost]

Great suggestion! Some Mark Lanegan songs would be great too...

[@InsongWhang]

I would like Wake Up more!

[@dinkidavis]

Ballsy, attempting to walk in those shoes. I always click on these AIC covers and just wait for the cringe. It never came! I miss Layne as much as the next guy, as I'm sure you do also. Thanks for giving this song what it deserves. An amazingly deep, heart felt rendition by a couple of guys with hearts of grunge.

[@raymondayac8283]

Agreed, was pleasantly surprised!

[@whatsgrowingon]

Facts

[@shaitanlavey]

The intensity on your face before you started singing showed how much you respect the man, how much you wanted to do the song justice. Mission accomplished.🔥🔥🔥

[@woodentulike2no]

Best Chains cover on all of KZbin. You guys are Magnificent.

[@TheJcah]

Possibly so! Definitely and unmovable from the top 10!

[@mikecummings5922]

Check the Brothers Hawk version. Pretty good. Different.

[@haystackhider7158]

No its not. The best cover belongs to The Jury Disagree - I stay away. John and Bas coversongs are awesome too, dont get me wrong.

[@HeROsiNhEaVeN]

R.I.P the brilliant Lane Staley....🙏🏻....you gentlemen are outstanding....❤️

[@pkdiddy]

This guy's voice has really matured. Awesome.

[@elusivelectron]

Sounds like Layne Staley with Geddy Lee's vibrato.

[@wisdomoverfear2685]

This brings tears to my eyes .....! Great job ! You guys are holding it down tough on this and I for one really appreciate it !!!!!😢

[@rtucker0458]

Out freaking standing!!!... One of the best acoustic covers I've heard of this song.. Very well done.

[@robertcaveman3556]

Two guys on the bench. Guitar and voice. And enough for good music.

[@jimcasey8732]

You guys should be proud of yourselves! Covering an incredible song and doing it justice. Top shelf, keep ‘em coming!

[@phils3034]

This guy has a great set of pipes.

[@LencesRiter]

Hit me hard, man. Can't stop hearing. Too much perfection. Sometimes I spend hours and hours listening to your covers. Helps me to study. Hope u guys are doing okay. Keep going.

[@meadandmilk]

Here it is... And boy is it everything and more than I hoped it would be. You guys are transcendent.

[@haisnyoliveira5659]

O cover mais perfeito que eu já vi!!! vocês são incríveis!! Brazil here!!

[@gasopa0]

🇧🇷🇧🇷🤟🤟

[@400_billion_suns]

Came back to listen to this again and it’s still as good as I remembered. Fantastic voice.

[@danielcrewe732]

Just wow. Guitarist and vocals totally on point

[@alcopwp6821]

It’s good to see people still care about great music, well done lads! I wish you the best in everything you do, discovered your videos awhile back now but never commented. I’ve just got back into guitar myself and you’ve given me the inspiration to write and play again! Cheers

[@SpectorEuro4]

My mind exploded when he started singing. I expected good singing obviously, but this exceeded my expectations by a lot. Huge respects!!!!!!! Awesome job

[@rendher3688]

Wow I've been waiting for this video since I discovered your black cover a few years ago... You guys are amazing!

[@zipg246]

500 views. 0 Dislikes. Let that sink in about a Layne Staley cover of 1 of the best song's AIC ever did. Even unplugged in NYC. Thank you Men so much! Absolute Art.

[@blakenorman4822]

The tempo is maddening, i see what you're doing there, making us feel it, very nice

[@robertclark4509]

All I can say is Fuel-- Shimmer or Sunburn. You guys are talented ,it's pure magic watching you guys preform...Thanks

[@schism6976]

I requested that a while back. He has the perfect voice for it! Would be amazing.😎👌

[@haidengerstner839]

dude they would KILL a fuel song. shimmer would be so sick.

[@aaron6806]

Couldn't agree more. Looking forward to it, should it ever come to pass.

[@TheJcah]

Wow! This tune can only be hair raising if the performers are pouring there soul into its performance just as MS&Company did in the original. This one really shows your vocal as your own as well. It's obvious you two Dudes are paying your dues and maybe we all fans will be lucky enough to see the show "Coming to a venue near You"(meaning Us)!

[@le_decard]

Wow finally.... i would die with this....

[@mvini_]

I love the simplicity of these records. It's so natural. Amazing guys!

[@shanewoods1980]

My words will never be enough. On the 13th time I listened to your version, I could see laynes face while listening to you singing it. You guys did a great job and I know for me personally I appreciate it thank you guys

[@johnandbasMusic]

Thanks for your kind words. ❤️

[@giovannicecchini6115]

this is one of the best version i've ever heard, you guys put so much passion in every song

[@guptaankur16]

Wow I haven't even heard it yet but lemme tell you was waiting for it for long long time 😊😊 Thanks a lot guys ♥️

[@mariusabel5787]

no smiles. that is how this song should be covered. awesome job, liked and subscribed!

[@fddddfddfdegfnh]

This is like a dream come true Amazing song thank you guys

[@clintg3435]

Fantastic cover, what a great match to Bas's voice. Really similar to Layne. Great guitar too, I just kept waiting to hear the bass come in haha.

[@pureEron1994]

This is the best, heart felt cover of this sadly beautiful song!

[@ryananderson8571]

I just ran across this!! Hats off guys! Beautiful job. Very nice guitar playing and beautiful singing

[@jekku4688]

great powerful voice! 👍

[@joaofranciscoschramm8678]

Very nice. Thanks from Brasil.

[@glenmchargue5461]

For some reason this song is untouchable to me, I wish people would leave it alone. But you guys delivered it with respect that was appropriate and the talent that was needed. Nice work, really great job.

[@kenleppek]

One of my favorite songs ever. Great job, I could listen to it over and over just like i can the original

[@smithdave232]

Not going to lie, first saw was like you've got to be kidding me. F#&k man, killed it. Best cover 100%. Staley would be proud brotha.

[@ja9999999999]

I was so hoping you guys would deliver, and you did. Great job!

[@igman66]

I would go see these dudes in concert. Love the voice, guitar playing and choice of songs. Do you guys do originals too?

[@Sgarnoncunce]

love the reflection on the guitar, looks trippy AF

[@RaphaaelHenrique]

Meu Deus do céu, que cover genial! Tá perfeito, parabéns. Abraços de todo Brasil!

[@gaylechristensen6285]

What a beautifully done job! I absolutely loved the tone of your voice. Layne is smiling at this one.

[@k4lpo]

Wow. Layne Staley must be one of the hardest vocalist to cover and you guys nailed it! Great fucking job.

[@jawtap1520]

My man John, A real-life phoenix, especially with that flame beard, Bas of coarse is keeping every in sync as always!

[@timking2997]

I can definitely hear that bass playing in my head from the MTV version.

[@joesullivan3400]

Very nice. Background sounds were complimentary. Unfiltered, one take, just tolling with it. That's how it supposed to be

[@Nimzy_777]

You did a phenomenal job singing. I had to listen to this a second time cause it's so great. Cant describe the words how much this song means for me and to everyone who are fans of Alice In Chains. Especially fans of Lane Staley, you guys did an amazing job. Keep it up!!!!

[@crackedblackpepperandrocksalt]

Great vocals

[@2RCPRODUCTIONS]

Fantastic!! Wondered where you guys were, Great job keep at it and God Bless!

you might find this comment also uncomfortable but honestly that position makes the guitar more stable and easier to strum. :-D

Imagine a drum box , accompanying this...just to add depth and a 3rd dimension to it ....! Not to underscore this rendition, but that, with his chilling voice and the , spot on , strumming...!! I could and will , listen to this . I saved it in my " Remakes " . Love , from , Mississippi

Here's an oddball request that I feel you would sound awesome on....Gordon Lightfoot If You Could Read My Mind

[@ederfeder1]

Funny , I was just listening to Gordon Lightfoot and Alice in Chains last night

[@kenleppek]

@@ederfeder1 I saw him live a few years ago in Saginaw Michigan. He's getting up there in age but still sounds just as good as he does in his live videos from 30-40 years ago.

It may be just me but,this is the absolute,most depressing song ever. This is all the pains of yesterday rolled up into just a few minutes. Thanks for covering it.
