Rooster (Acoustic Alice In Chains) w/ My DAD!

[@jayburns3308]

As her dad I still love hearing her sing this song 12 years later. I look so different in this video makes me laugh

[@dilligaf4183]

Seems like a pretty special gift you gave each other.

[@cosc137]

Layne might be the most difficult vocalist to cover. This might be the best I've heard since Aaron Lewis covered this song. Superb performance. A slightly slower tempo would being this home if you decide to do this again.

[@QMDIAZ]

Yeah Stanley was definitely someone to top

[@scottjames1401]

I too give my very talented daughter guitar backing and harmony. Her interpretation was excellent. And yes, I too have changed a great deal over the last 12 years. LOL

[@Pugilist379]

She's been one of my favorite cover artists for the last decade, even though she's not active anymore. You two have a great relationship and shared talents, and I hope I can cultivate something similar with my daughter someday.

[@ScottHogue]

Son of my mother, I did NOT see this coming. It's fantastic. Young lady, you've a great voice, and kudos for not oversinging. Dad gets big ups. He plays well, he can sing, and he gives his baby girl the spotlight. I can't imagine my dad saying "hey gimme your bass, let's play that Bootsy Collins thing."

[@Pokerface-tr1ds]

[@davidbrell8408]

In Central and West African mythology, the rooster crows because nobody else will crow for him, so he crows for himself. Listening to two descendants of American slaves (father and daughter) perform this brilliant ballad offers a whole new interpretation. Yet, as others have said, it's no different. I'm with Generation Films, this deserves Way more views.

[@sheenafraser7838]

Maybe he doesn't have a left handed guitar, apparently Hendrix started the same?

[@Trans9]

You do realize you can string a righty guitar upside down so a lefty can play, how else do you think Hendrix played before they started producing guitars for leftys? Its clear you know nothing about music, or instruments for that matter.

[@toddhensley125]

Aaron McCoy i'm sorry Mr. McCoy if my OPINION has such an effect on how you see me as a human being... and your rightpeople covering other band does keep the music fresh and alive in us... and i gave miss Phoebe her due props... it was a great song for her voice and pops guitar accompany was spot on... but AIC for myself, lemme turn that up Mr. McCoy, FOR MYSELF is not just "a band" as you referred... for reasons of my own i hold them sacred, and yes, dont like to hear them covered... its like theyre music is retired like a baseball team retires a jersey and hangs it in the rafters for all to appreciate, look at nand admire but dont touch and dont even think about wearing the number... so ya Mr McCoy maybe in YOUR OPINION im a "pretentious asshole" and in the same aspect i "suck" and yep, thats the handle i was given...T O double D... but im a fairlly nice person who will usually go out of my way to encourage someone (even if i dont care for their opinion)... and your really kind of a dick.

[@toddhensley125]

errybody's entitled to a shit day. when i (yes,reluctantly) listened to this beautiful young person sing thisi thought "she may not even like it, shes singing because its her dads favorite song, a selfless small gesture that made a father so proud he wanted to share it with us.. so i listened...after 30 seconds or so it wasnt that raw, gritty AIC song i cherishedit was a love song from a daughter to her dad...made me cry... you have a great day M

Mafia Daycare I see that in the not distant past you liked a Pink interview and you use the phrase douche canoe. These on top of your inability to form a complete sentence provoke me to wish you good luck in your fast food career and I hope relax before you reach high school. Todd, I have a good day.

[@toddhensley125]

Aaron McCoy i just dont understand where some of these peeps come from Aaron,... it's like they've found some new venue to see their words in print so they have to come up with something clever to say but just aren't clever people... so it ends up being exactly what mr. Mafia Daycare (and you thought Todd was a shit name Aaron, lol...!) ended up puking onto his keyboard for all to see (and laugh at).... and btw mr. Daycare, its one thing to critisize my post, but if i hear you talk about or mention my child or "offspring" ever again... i dont care how much it cost. I'll find you. Have a great day Aaron...
