[@matthamlin6889]

Best "Rooster" cover I've ever heard.

[@freedomunleashed7937]

Not even close imo, this dude hits far deeper, more grit & soul

[@donna3465]

Definitely

[@minharotinadebobeirakaraok6296]

me too , this guy is just playing with his soul and guitar... AMAZING!

[@shaneoneill7680]

The wrong chord ruins it for me

[@yanivgluck9549]

He's great but I miss the bass guitar...

[@Javiwah]

10 years later this still incredible cover

[@SterlingRJackson]

😊

[@marting9041]

X2

[@Quothula]

yeah, same. 2021, just found it, bloody incredible! saw a comment on a recent vid and just had to find it!

[@LandworkerGardnerofsoul]

20223 and still goin strong im legit impressed

[@rgraptor2542]

TOOL. THE COMPUTER SCREEN. I LOVE THIS DUDE ALREADY.

[@rgraptor2542]

Gave me goosebumps.. Wow!

[@_Schreintime]

Seth Hollis I was going to comment on this too.

[@yurinogueira2947]

my ovaries exploded and I'm not even female

[@caminossuizos]

It was the first thing I noticed! haha

[@BeauJustin]

Damn dude, your falsetto. You have mad talent.

[@connormatthews522]

When I try to sing this, literally no sound comes out, my falsetto can't touch such high notes lmao

[@jackmurphy8696]

Did you get there yet? Im trying myself not sure it sounds any good. cant imagine doing chest voice with some of these parts

[@djgreyo1]

why dont this guy have a record deal yet

[@matthewmartinez5021]

Because he has talent...

[@djgreyo1]

Matthew Delgado ha thats very true ,but very sad

[@susansimpson72]

x

[@susansimpson72]

GEORGE BLACK fucking right

[@used_tissue3536]

GEORGE BLACK because if you dont have the looks, the right music genre and age to attract enough revenue for record companies(pop music), you have to rely on EXCEPTIONAL talent, i mean pioneering the fields of untouched planes of creativity. This guy is a talented singer/guitar player, however these abilities are only a vessel/tool to express creativity/art. Now im not saying this guy isnt creative, but he's gotta be making exceptional original music/art to "get a record deal" or "make it".

[@8bit4you]

Tool wallpaper, Pink Floyd wish you were here poster on the wall and singing Alice in Chains perfectly. Fucking amazing.

[@adilea76]

Layne would be proud

[@pjm5729]

I mean if layne used a shit ton of autotune then yeah I guess

[@donna3465]

Hell yeah, he would.

[@danozdirect3749]

The goat rooster cover Had it in my play lists for 13 years I was blown away first time i heard it Still in the same lane 🤟🤟🤟

[@Srvwh]

If Layne and Chris Cornell had a love child...

[@estaldodelkuajalde]

More like Layne and Stone Gossard

[@kylegrimm4490]

Heard this over 10 years ago and go back every so often to hear this cover.

[@voyagevines]

I don't know why this is being recommended to me 10 years later, but I absolutely loved it

[@abovebiscuitcrumbs]

the fact that you have tool as your computer background makes you 10x more my hero than you were before

[@patrickstar6247]

10 years later and I’m still coming back to this incredible cover 🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@kevincifuentes7718]

I've seen the other cover "Show Me How To Live" and this dude is the only guy I've ever seen to emulate Chris Cornell's or Layne Stanley's voice. Seriously.. Most epic shit I've ever seen.

[@kidbogus3731]

By far the best rooster cover I've heard, I think layne would be proud

[@MrDylan0666]

wow... i did not expect your voice to sound like that.. really good

[@SyTheMetalhead]

Dude that is insanely brilliant, you have a perfect voice to cover Layne's songs and that is coming from someone who has covered many Alice In Chains and Mad Season songs, keep up the awesome work :)

[@MistaChristafuh]

Wow, vocals are great. Has that rugged voice like Layne did.

[@melonhead49]

Musical from 20 years ago = One hell of a Musical era!

[@kevinwatling4284]

If that wasn't one of Alice in Chains strongest songs, and probably a big part of their show, I'm sure they would be honored to have you open the show with that by yourself. You do that song huge Justice brother....... Really.....!

[@katherandefy]

Gorgeous. Layne had that kind of sensitivity too. Beautiful cover. Thank you.

[@snarkybu42]

Shivers…. Holy shit bro… absolutely beautiful

[@codyhenry3491]

My man great work. The vocals is on point you respectfully sound like Layne Staley. If you become big for a fact I'll buy your music. :) R.I.P. Layne Staley. Greatest Grunge vocals ever.

[@susansimpson72]

Cody Henry damn fucking A

[@codyhenry3491]

Susan Simpson they've should audition him for the part :)

[@susansimpson72]

Cody Henry hell yeah at least show Layne some respect

[@joshuavance1654]

This is the best Alice in Chains cover I have heard

[@stevehamilton7629]

Don't listen to the Haters bro. You F-n' Rock! Great cover! Keep on keepin on !

[@caryroberts6748]

It’s 2023 and I’ve barely stumbled on this , wow . Fantastic rendering of this piece.

[@blacklightburns100]

Alice In Chains should have hired you !! :D

[@susansimpson72]

Andras Polle for real i could handle this cat

[@addminimal]

I wonder if they've heard of him...

[@AmberMoore-bd2ie]

There will never be a better cover of this. Makes me feel some kinda way.

[@tito1rocks]

Awesome voice, the effects complete it too, perfect cover.

[@fjrocker9310]

What a powerful voice. keep it up, bro..RIP LAYNE u will never be forgotten.

[@blitzkriegBosegeist]

Ain't found a way to kill me yet Eyes burn with stinging sweat Seems every path leads me to nowhere Wife and kids household pet Army green was no safe bet The bullets scream to me from somewhere Here they come to snuff the rooster Yeah here come the rooster, yeah You know he ain't gonna die No, no, no, ya know he ain't gonna die Here they come to snuff the rooster Yeah here come the rooster, yeah You know he ain't gonna die No, no, no, ya know he ain't gonna die Walkin' tall machine gun man They spit on me in my home land Gloria sent me pictures of my boy Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death My buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath Oh God please won't you help me make it through Here they come to snuff the rooster Yeah here come the rooster, yeah You know he ain't gonna die No, no, no ya know he ain't gonna die

[@MaximustheMerciful66]

For all those who wish him to sing in another style or variety, singing the song this way would nothing but honor Layne, AIC, and those many artists from the 90's and elsewhere who opened up and let it fly. This is a great rendition of a killer track. If you want originals, stop looking up the songs from your past and find another forum. KZbin is a wide open for musical exploration. Phyllotaxismusic, thank you for delivering the best cover ever I have ever heard for "Rooster".

[@adamJKpunk]

Nailed it.

[@Rockon771]

Nice tool wallpaper. Also, amazing cover man, you have an awesome voice. Keep it up!

[@pappoblues89]

Te felicito loco!!!! lo llevas en la sangre al Grunge y a Layne!

[@tetojam]

Oh boy!!!! keep on screaming please!! you are a BEAST!!!

[@brocks4998]

Layne and Jeff would be proud man, great cover

[@sweatshirt029]

jeff?

[@devinmetalfreak]

Tell me you meant to say Jerry?

[@asmaasarbeet6332]

devinmetalfreak his name's jeff :lol:

[@PackardDog]

Was in Biloxi MS in 92, first time I heard this song. You just brought me back. Thank you.

[@xGMAN712712x]

Love that 10000 days tool background on tha computer!

[@RaeChan1993]

This scratches an itch I didn't know I had. Thankyou

[@alexvonvarrick]

WOOOOOW! This is awesome!And those of you, who wanna play smart and criticise: step in the ring and do it better! I checked out your channels and you're full of it...Think ybout it, if you're completely happy and satisfied with your life, you have no need to judge,criticise or be a smartass....

[@ISAAKKUSH]

What a voice! What a sound! I'm speechless...

[@griso321]

Nice cover man!! Also, fantastic Tool wallpaper you have there :)

[@BrentJamesDriscoll]

I gotta say man.... that is so incredible. I've never heard someone's voice be so close to Layne's.

[@Enthos2]

This is probably edited to shit but these vocals are un. fucking. believable.

[@IHaveAPodXTLive]

Enthos2 Layne's vocals were edited to shit.

[@brunostefanno6370]

teu cu

[@shaycormacc]

IHaveAPodXTLive His live vocals were still amazingly done.

[@DreamingisGoated]

Shay Patrick Cormac someone knows good movies like boondock saints

[@KillDozer44]

get out

[@Mzlanders]

Best cover of this song KZbin has to offer. Hands down.

[@iselgarelbal4886]

to be perfect just a candle on your micro.Congrats...:)

[@dumudingirenki]

Still my favourite cover of this song. Listen to this weekly 🤷‍♂️💪🙌

[@SterlingRJackson]

Thanks Jake 😊

[@akilahshani]

Christ, your voice is phenomenal. I'm in love with the rasp.

[@travischaddock4826]

this should be in the billions of views. this dudes great

[@SterlingRJackson]

Thanks Travis

[@jbinpo]

fucking amazing. I got chills.

[@annandmusic]

Wow, not only have you got an awesome voice, but also a good taste of music :) ! I had to subscribe. Keep going :D !

[@SterlingRJackson]

@MrUbercool12345 Yeah, it kinda did. But I tried desperately to learn other ways of trying to hit these notes. If you try hard enough, without killing yourself, you can learn other ways of using your voice that you never knew were possible. I'm still learning completely new things all the time.

[@kaylahertwig403]

Who are u

[@kaylahertwig403]

Who are u?

[@cassidymattson4175]

Holy shit dude. Holy shit. You're incredibly talented.

[@griffithk]

Somewhere Layne is smiling.

[@buckrepublic9143]

BAD ASS, brother.

[@sinkler123]

If i close my eyes i forget its a cover and start to wonder if they ever did an MTV unplugged session for this song... ^^ amazing.

[@eloylopez9834]

Dan Inbari they did

[@no.5429]

New fan, huh?

[@Roffeu]

Probably the best voice I've heard on youtube.

[@moonpiespotlight4759]

I usually sing this to myself when I'm pheasant hunting and he usually isn't going to die.

[@epicdeuce]

Oh dude you nailed it. Most guys would kill to have what you got!

[@3WordsToSay]

Can you do some Tool covers? :D

[@JamieKeatley]

Yeah, do it! :D

[@pencap914]

This was added 6 years ago and I just now came across this!? Excellent cover, excellent song. 👍🏼

[@broadbin]

Why wasn't he auditioned for the new AIC singer....???

[@TheFelonizedkriminal]

because his voice is suppofiscial not his voice. its been computer managed . gurranteed!..... nice setup thou ! ( as in all the equipment) on his voice again? I believe its called electrically managed synthetic or EMS>>> check his down in hole video .. you can hear a lot of reverb and echo within the laid down recorded vocals on the track........ bit like Ciara in a hip hop video .. if u get my drift.. but saying all this . great rendition and I do enjoy listening ... coz I fuking love this track ! 10/10 for effort!

[@broadbin]

+dazza pool it was just an overstated compliment as this rendition is awesome. singing live in an arena is different ball game,

[@TheFelonizedkriminal]

true its good man... and im glad u listening , AIC one of the most underated bands in my opinion specially where im at .. :-)

[@broadbin]

+dazza pool Yes the very first time i heard rooster, it was goose bumps all over man.

[@carlossantino3969]

broadbin I'll bet they didn't want to get someone who actually sounds exactly like Lane Stanley so they went with that waste of space that they have now because they could fire that guy and have this guy to be in the band and I'll bet the crowd would motherfuckin flip and cry for Joy if this guy was to open his mouth they would motherfuckin thank God he's in the new front man in AIC

[@guilhermeguimaraesviali7062]

Very good. Layne lives forever!

[@RodrigoLopesFx]

TOOL

[@CH1NOBL]

Anytime this plays I get the nostalgia. Roaming the humid crisp night with my partner in crime.. I raise my glass to you Vic.. May you raise more mischief in heaven than you did here on earth! Miss your spiced laughter boi..

[@MrJuliesguy]

My sister died from cancer

[@brianmaccarthy2557]

What the fuck does that have to do with this song or this cover?

[@MrJuliesguy]

Nothing really, I just thought of it because once when I was 5 she told me she was going to get a rooster and name it Alice, so I always thought Alice Cooper was a rooster and that AIC wrote that song and it gave my sister cancer, I get this weird vibe that you as well will have cancer, anywho...

[@MrJuliesguy]

She was 28, she had a cleft palate and blond hair

[@chasgibbs4672]

How am I just now hearing this cover. Holy shit man. You crushed this.

[@nikitarage4236]

Sounds like there's a lot of sound manipulation or adjustments ... Or it's the echo... I'd love to hear you w out the fancy mic. But good job

[@Rozq]

Sorry to say this but your comment is just plain stupid. What fancy mic do you have in mind, lol! Would you like him to use a headphone mic or what. Yes he added some echo in the mix so what. Also he is playing and singing at the same time. That should count too...

[@troyoobrien]

Rozq It sounds really auto tuned

[@alfiekleiner4889]

Troy O'Brien Guys, it's just reverb...

[@wilhemheider]

Yes.. And a Little Delay ;)

[@yanhus]

Troy O'Brien Yes it is really autotuned ^^

[@aruchman]

Really amazing - I cannot tell you how blown away I am by this cover. I have never said this before - this is the best cover I have ever watched. Love it!

[@smurfinit48]

Wow, you sound almost identical to Layne.

[@caseyboone71]

smurfinit48, I have to respectfully disagree he made it his own and sounded bad ass.

[@dieHasser]

Seriously dude. You played this song better than anyone ive ever known or could ever dream to play myself. Kudos

[@rjonzen34]

synthesized...enough said

[@devpuri1713]

Lol piss off hater.

[@yogipigui]

You have a point

[@ertonyrn]

lots of effects.. still good

[@rjonzen34]

Dev Puri glad you liked your own comment :)

[@devpuri1713]

rjonzen34 haha glad you noticed ;)

[@zak9129]

Goose bumps, tears and smiles, thank you, beautifully done.

[@marcoz6023]

we need more soulful music like this, great job brother

[@dariuspiott6598]

this song... again and again

[@hendrikreber4577]

Great vocal.. i like it

[@ricardopereira7817]

Top 5 stars, clap clap clap. Very, but really very very god. Congratulations, its not easy to me cry with one cover.

[@z74birdman]

After listening to this a few times the " original mtv unplugged" version doesn't sound as good as it use too and its one of my fav mtv unplugged songs. Not many times a cover surpasses or is better than the original...This time it is !!!! Outstanding job. This guy should have a recording contract with that type of talent.

[@ellzietwinkle1089]

No this guy should keep putting out his own independent music ❤. He will do much better outside the industry.

[@climberjde]

I have heard a thousand covers and am a musician myself with 40 or so youtube covers. You have the most amazing voice I've ever heard (listened to half a dozen of your covers). Your vocal control is what my voice sounds like in my head. It must feel amazing. It is awe inspiring and frustrating as hell to listen to. Why are you not famous?

[@ESPSJ]

Man I love this cover. I remember watching it years ago and I have never forgotten about it. I love how much control you have over your vocals. Makes me wish I could sing haha.

[@daelinproudmore5068]

This is pure gold! Best rooster cover i've heard. You captured all the important points with the right tone and delivery.

[@mettlus]

You have no ordinary voice!!!! Best vox ever heard after AIC!!

[@zainaku]

I came to your channel for the MJK covers, but damn you nailed this

[@dannyhamill7366]

Just came across this. Bloody awesome

[@isabeladf]

omg my ears are so pleased now

[@kevinleavy4736]

are you blcking kidding me? ....Dude! hands down the best cover EVER! Amazing brother ! you will be famous before its over! thanks .

[@PopeJackI]

Day-um, son!!! You know how to bring it!!! Straight up haunting.

[@poneponefly]

Keeping finding my way back to this cover. DAMN! Sooooooooooo good.

[@Hiergibtesnixzusehen]

Man he is the real deal!! 👍👍👍👍

[@mdis401mm]

Dans l'esprit de Layne, bravo ! Good voice 🫡

[@wolfcurt22]

My iPod is going to have a long night judging by how many videos there are, but I dont mind judging by how freakin awesome they all are!

[@Bulgdoom]

One of my top favorites

[@jagh100692]

wow, i didn't expected that voice!! great!

[@paulbrackin3272]

agreed, best Rooster cover. good job

[@jeremydavis7993]

still, after all this time this is mesmerizing. you have to think that Layne would approve

[@Livinghighandwise]

Gave me chills dude.. Well done.

[@MrGrenadeGod]

Cant stop watching

[@IncliningPizza]

Holy shit, man! I'm a musician, and this is probably the most impressive cover of this song I have heard done by anybody. You are blessed to have that trademark Staley-snarl in your voice. :)

[@honkeykong2109]

DAMN..........YEAH, JUST DAMN. perfect guitar, voice and effects. Nice blend brother.
