Steel Panther~ Man in The Box "Cover" with guests Jerry Cantrell and Sully Erna

[@davidg1612]

Give Jerry Cantrell any guitar plugged into any amplifier and he sounds just like himself. Amazing.

[@stonerant1123]

Ever heard AIC Unplugged? Give Jerry Cantrell any guitar period and he'll do something incredible in return.

Yeah.. Satchels rig changed moods as soon as Jerry plugged in. Amazing..

[@gressfes5911]

I mean...Sully IS a bass/baritone vocalist.

[@ottogofast3882]

Probably because they have completely different voice types lol comparing a tenor to a baritone isn’t fair. It’s actually impressive that he can hit those notes at all as a baritone.

[@vivekjha25]

They were. Sully actually used to sound very much like Layne in the first Godsmack album

[@vivekjha25]

Sebastian yes. I know. I meant the style. Layne's sound is inimitable. I've been trying for years myself and I obviously can't sound like him. It's great that Layne has inspired many singers is all :). In them his voice lives on.

[@vivekjha25]

Sebastian it was very different for me. I started through the nu metal era listening to Linkin Park and Korn. Transitioned to heavy metal and then thrash. Fell in love with the thrash sound. Started listening to some metalcore. Fell in love with Killswitch engage. Gradually started listening to some rock. On a 25 hour train journey I listened to the MTV Unplugged performance of Alice in chains on loop. Never felt anything like that with any other band. The sheer raw emotion that these guys can express in their music is amazing. Layne and Jerry immediately became a major influence on my music. I agree with you. Nobody can sound like Layne. Which is why he was special. There are and have been better singers but no one sounds better to my ears :)

[@phillipkilgore6377]

I'll gladly be the first person to give this a thumbs up. I'm a big fan of both Godsmack and Steel Panther, so this was fuckin' awesome. Plus who doesn't love Alice In Chains?

[@gymrat1190]

Phillip Kilgore he talks alittle too much between songs lol

[@ajpj10]

I love Alice In Chains, though I’ll say I got to meet Mike McCready. At a famous venue in Washington called the Crocodile as well. I was playing with him on stage as well. Since my friend is friends with the guy. So he invited Mike to go to a show me and like 20 other people did, and I am soon turning 11. I also played on stage with him, had him sign my guitar, he gave me 3 picks, and played Alive with my friends and I. It was fun and I played Man in the Box in front of him and little did I know, that he filmed me playing the solo for Man in the box. And not only that, but he sent the video to Jerry Cantrell. And I still remember that (not trying to make fun of him when I say this) he was bragging about the fact he played this 700,000 times and 1 and messed up and all he said at the end of the song was “Fuck”. And all of us were laughing in the lounge and on stage. If you were there, you would have got to meet a legend. Not the legend, but a legend

[@jessedeleon4123]

This is crazy awesome! But proves a point in what jerry has once said that tone is in the hands. Not Jerrys gear but still sounds like jerry Cantrell tone.

[@snipertsx]

Layne Staley. A missed voice in rock and roll since 2002. A voice unrivaled and unparalleled that others try to emulate but yield to homage knowing this voice was unique among the universe.

[@MeatEatingVegan777]

His voice was incredible. A real treasure. However, the poor man was suffering his entire life. I wouldn't want him around now if he was still on drugs, or if he was still unable to find happiness. If he were to live, I'd want him happy and doing better.

[@Tacomaguy458]

Sully is one of the coolest guys in the music industry you could hope to meet. I was out with some friends at a bar when he walked in with a couple others. Nobody noticed him as he isn't the most recognizable front man but I didn't want to hound him even though I was freaking out. I bought him a beer and said I was a fan but wasn't going to bother him while he was just out letting off some steam. He ended up buying a round for me and my buddies and afterwards, he came over to take some pics with us. Super cool and really humble rock star!

😂😂😭😭😭 literally it bothered me so much

[@Mystic_Apollo]

The one thing I've found is even though Sully has a completely register to Layne and has a lower range with only small overlap, he has a very distinctive voice yet is able to mimic and sound similar to Layne timbre wise without trying that hard. You can see the inspiration there but it's also crazy just how well he can match Layne's distinctive flourishes. Fucking brilliant cover imo, although idk if steel panther would be my first choice to be backing for these two guys 😂
