Post Malone covered Alice in Chains song "Them Bones" live on The Howard Stern Show so I'm going to take a look and see how he fairs. He seems to be a fan of rock and grunge, should he give up that pop stuff and focus on rock n roll? I certainly would like it if he did.

Hi Justin, Just wondering if you ever saw or heard of a band called Dr funk on YT? I just saw a video of them for the first time, and I'm interested in what you think. It's a superb bassist and drummer act. Also, I really enjoyed Post's rendition of this aic cover And aic is one of my all time favorite bands. Edit* sorry it's called Dr funk and the good times?

Well i saw an interview in which he Said the loved rock and roll since he was a child, but it wasn’t popular so he went the rap route.

[@modusceo]

As a singer myself, I don’t think there’s a higher rock mountain than Layne for the 90’s on. His power and projection was just completely unmatched, and he had gobs of real breakup and strain on tap, without it ever sounding like he was hurting his voice. Mark Lanegan from the screaming trees was Layne’s best friend and toured together quite a bit, and said that you could FEEL layne’s voice shaking your chest even sidestage, and even pulled from the mic he was louder than Jerry’s backline. And as a guitarist, there’s no better tone than what Jerry and Dave Jerden got out of that bogner modded 4010. It’s just completely evil, Sabbath levels of heaviness.

Post isn't afraid to leave his lane. Personally I really like that. Some musicians (or maybe their management?) are afraid that they will alienate their fan base.

This comment needs to be pinned. I was shocked Justin doesn’t know about the magical harmonies and dissonance that Layne and Jerry brought to the table. Layne is one of the most underrated voices and it took a fucking choir just to make it sound like an AIC harmony like it is on the album. Insane. Justin, please listen to AIC and watch Layne live before he let heroine take hold.

[@intoxicatedredneck]

Alice In Chains are probably my favourite band of all time. You'd adore their vocal harmonies. Take a listen/react to either "Down in a hole", "would", "rooster", "Rotten apple". Sod it. Just binge in them.

[@SuziQ.]

I listen to them every day/night. They’re also my favourite band ever. I recommend “The One You Know” for the harmonies in the bridge, and everything else, because their songs are just that good. “Devil By My Side” is fun for driving. (I love Jerry’s solo albums, too.) “Never Fade” is excellent. “Voices,” “Stone,” “Breath on a Window”… every song rocks.

[@dasninjastix]

Ah man Justin, you need some Jerry Cantrell in your life. I think you'd love his guitar playing, on this song especially. No one sounds like Layne so can't really rate the performance against that, and if this sort of things helps to continue to promote, or highlight Alice in Chains' music, more power to everyone involved. Can't say I'm a fan of the cover but definitely don't hate it. Would love you see some AiC coverage on this channel though 🦴☠⛓

[@SuziQ.]

Jerry’s solo albums have some of my favorite songs. “Siren Song” off the Brighten album is beautiful, but I also love “Solitude,” “Voices,” “Angel Eyes,” “Never Fade,” “Your Decision,” “ Stone,” “The One You Know” and almost every song he’s written. I listen to an AIC/JC playlist every night. They’ve been my favorite band since Facelift dropped, and it’s not even their best album. Justin would love the vocal harmonies. Edit to add: Wolf covered “Them Bones” live last year. Then Jerry played it live on his solo tour, and AIC played it that summer (2022).

[@TheTimHall]

He's a great all-rounder. I've seen videos of his early thrash metal. Seen videos of him jamming on guitar. I know his singles, but not much else. Recently seen him singing pop and country. I think he just does what he enjoys, and IMHO he should keep doing what he enjoys.

Layne was one of the greatest rock singers ever. Very underrated. His Grisel and scream where second to none. Also his vocal ability and harmonies with Gerry are just out of this world. I just do t think this version cuts it. Nice try and he obviously loves these bands. Just not for me.

yes its really bad this cover and hes using auto tune. i do like the idea giving the whole vikings background singers type thing but this cover doesn't cut it at all. he was great covering nirvana. when he tries to mimic layne or eddie it his vibrato is way too much like a goat rather than a true vibrato.

I've come to respect Post quite a lot, hadn't seen this performance yet but as an Alice in Chains fan this was quite phenomenal, feels like he's putting his soul into it.

[@Cheathamforce5spspsp]

I am a HUGE AIC fan. Justin, you would love them. That said, I LOVE this cover. It such cool version. It's not quite as good as the Fishbone cover of the same song, but it is damn good. Well Done Post.

[@shiftybat7318]

This performance made me think of something I noticed about my own recordings - any time there was a song with three choruses the first would sound like I was testing the waters, the second would be the Strong One, and the third came out assured but less compelling. Maybe it's like Lee Pace's character in Frontier when he plays the middle part of a clone trinity - A good chorus is a good chorus, but it's great when it's got those Eyebrows.

[@leventunver]

He is a lovely posty boi no need to be scared.

[@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain]

Sure?

[@MariaFrancesca]

I draw for peoples' face tattoos at least a few times a year, and they are always the nicest people, so... no, that in particular would not make me scared of you, but other things might 😅 On the other hand... people coming into tattoo studios are usually very nice, overall, as it's in their best interests to be so... I wouldn't really know how scary they are outside of one, do I? 🤔

[@DravenSongs802]

I feel like Justin needs to react to some Alice in Chains now.

[@terric703]

His name is Austin Post. He's the nicest person, too. You'd love him.

[@sah-win]

Whoah. That is….rough. I actually went to the video to see if it really is that bad. And yes. It is. Bad. Very bad.

[@mygic183]

Can you hear Auto-tune? Or is it just me, I personally think he does this stuff really well and his country stuff is great too, it hits you better than that hip-hop- pop vomit bullshit…

[@SuziQ.]

I heard it.

[@p90bridge]

Super heavy auto tune. This guy is a hack for not hearing it.

[@SuziQ.]

@@p90bridge , I used to watch this guy, Fil, a lot, and he just uploaded (not for the first time) a new video showing where pitch correction is used. He’s also a musician, and has an album he self produced, but he’s been focusing on analysis for the past few years. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYexo5avrbmpitEsi=La9yjoEwoCbGcl4Z

[@travisstokes4692]

I think Post Malone uses his pop, hip hop to pay the bills, but at heart all music is his passion, which he’s able to share now. His cover of I’m Gonna Miss Her, which is country, is one of my favourites from him.

[@titusbc]

I feel like PM is a free spirit with his l musical likes. May be known for his hip/hop stuff but he just enjoys music in general.

[@toddmurphy390]

The problem is he is covering an once in a lifetime talent.

[@mattgriffin2880]

Pffft. Pass

[@NextStopAntarctica]

I learn so much from listening to your real time analyses. If only I took more notice in Year 8 music..

[@firkinfright5168]

4 minutes in and Justin is really enjoying himself listening to Post. That's the kind of stuf that made me subscribe to this channel.

[@Nicolasmondragon707]

Justin Fucking Hawkins Rides Againnnnn!!! 🎶🎶🎶

[@ilovejapanesemusic3858]

I'm suffering from a lack of interest.

[@SwamiTheArrogant]

Post is one of the most diverse out there. Keeps his options open at all times when it comes to genres. Really nice guy too.

[@sophiewynne1]

If you've been asked to audition what is the best way to get hired as a new member at an audition/what's the best way to make the right impression?

[@mirapiccolo6601]

Amazing performance...Even if you had tatoos on your face..you'ld never scare...you are too beautiful

[@Complication84]

He does fantastic covers, and seems like a genuinely all around nice guy. I like Post.

[@nobbynoris]

Hey Justin. If you found this interesting you maybe ought to check out Brass Against. They are a brass orchestra that specialise in metal and punk covers and as unlikely as that sounds, they're definitely worth a listen. They're good live too.

[@Blacksmith491]

Post malone is call austin post. He actually loves heavy metal and was in a metalcore band before venturing into Rap. So he doesnt like us, he is one of us!

[@jackrowden]

Should take a look at his recent performance at the CMA’s with Hardy & Morgan Wallen covering some country music! Guy is mentally talented!
