I am sorry Merkins, but this is way too good to be funny.. from the actual video production to Layne's voice.. as an old AIC fan, I couldn't even laugh at Pinhead because how eerily perfect this song is...

[@andiekaye1658]

I kinda don't like that they didn't make up a clever verse opening..they just used "man in the box" 😒.. Why?

[@schuylervrmr830]

​@andiekaye1658 well technically pinhead IS the man in the box (aka the lamant configuration) and it works best for this song and why they picked it

The fact that he actually sounds like Layne is astounding. Everything about this is incredible. Very well done.

[@jshrdsgtr]

This was 2 years ago when replicating voices using AI wasn't really that popular so it's just the vocalist's actual voice, most likely some form of auto-tune or editing if it's not his actual voice. I gotta say Layne Staley is indeed one of the best vocalist there ever was in the Grunge scene and perhaps in rock history, but it isn't very hard to reach his level after a couple years of vocal training to hit the right notes, but trying to replicate his tone would require a lot of effort since Layne mostly sang from his heart and put a lot of passion and emotion into his voice. @arteyeszb6343

this is actually genius, because pinhead does come out of a box. The singing sounds just like the real thing, and the lead singer of the merkins has a great vocal range, the guitar playing is on point, and the drumming is just a hard hitting as the original. Great job to these guys

Lmfao. This guy does the song total justice. Will Duvall is not doing a Layne impression although I would donate a testicle to hear Layne perform Check My Brain or Rainer Fog.

[@SpaghettiYOLOKingTTV]

@@flightofthebumblebee9529 DuVall can sound eerily close to Layne and he shows it live. That's how he got the gig in the first place. But Jerry also doesn't want him to live in Layne's shadow, which is why DuVall puts his own flavor in on the albums. So he pays respect to Layne live on Layne's songs and then still gets to be himself on the newer stuff.

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

@@SpaghettiYOLOKingTTV i agree. Plus Duvall is a dear friend of Jerry's and actually way more reliable as a bandmate and friend than even Layne was (Jerry was infinitely patient with Layne and his heroin struggles and lost a lot of money from touring due to Layne being unable to tour due to drug problems). I love how Jerry and Will were able to keep AiC alive because i think Black Gives Way to Blue was a masterpiece and I see it as a classic AiC album. Dinosaurs and Rainer Fog are also very good and Duvall is excellent as AiC lead singer but also in his solo work.

[@SpaghettiYOLOKingTTV]

@@flightofthebumblebee9529 people slept on Jerry's solo albums sadly. Many don't realize that he IS AIC for the most part. Layne had tons of talent that unfortunately didn't get shared as much as it should have.

The Grunge sound originates from that Lynyrd Skynyrd and Led Zeppelin 70’s Blusey Hard Rock sound. And STP were never Glam Rock at all, Glam Rock is David Bowie and Queen, and Glam Metal is Motley Crue and Dokken. It was Mother love Bone who were actually Glam Rock

Dude sounds just like Layne Staley! Was awesome.

[@DeathOfARockStar]

Wow. His voice is identical to Layne's. Very impressive. If AIC needs a new lead singer, get this dude.

[@Sue_V]

I can't believe how much the singer sounded like Layne Staley. This was fantastic

[@Highland_Moo]

Holy shit - this was awesome! One of my favourite songs covered by an amazing group! Sending love from the Scottish highlands x

[@TheGladds4life]

This is the greatest cover/parody of all time

[@KawiMusician]

This is TRULY a video that makes no sense...as in makes NO SENSE that ANYONE voted this down..ive been a MASSIVE AIC fan for 30 yrs,my nickname in HS was Sickman I was such a fan,lol. And I gotta say this is def not Layne, but NO ONE is Layne but Layne. That being said,this is the absolute BEST vocal AIC cover I've ever heard. As close as anyone could come to Layne. As much as I dig their replacement of sorts, William, hes DEF DIFF than Layne. Getting someone to sound this close to Layne woulda taken em prob 15 yrs if a t all, so i understand why they went with William. He just doesn't cut it like Layne did, but i still love most their post Layne stuff, but all the Layne yrs are priceless. GOOD cover parody.

You guys!!! It's phenomenal you always be hitting home runs

[@psychogoreman198]

Genuinely thought this was Layne, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck so goddamn good!

[@Wilmeiser]

This guy sounds almost exactly like Layne Staley, that's awesome!

How the sadist side of me enjoy the suffering of mankind. So many experiences to share, so many souls required

[@roblopez93]

These should all really be on Apple Music and Spotify truly love all these parodies!

[@mrs.jasonmiller4763]

Job Well done!!! Agree with a lot of previous comments that this is a tribute and not a parody!!!💯🤟 R.I.P. Lane Stanley 🥺

[@renaekilliough9606]

Everytime i think ive found my favorit song by you guys you come out with another. I absolutely loved that!!!

[@timmytatoe4248]

We seriously need the instrumental for this, that guitar punched me into next week

[@karindubinsky2046]

I expected something more funny but I guess the band and hellraiser fits that way. Great singer, difficult song. You always deliver!

[@tylerladd2804]

I hope Jerry Cantrell sees this parody. I think he'd love it!

[@southsidemichael386]

This is awesome!!! I'm a big AIC fan and you guys nailed this tune. I wonder if Cantrell has seen this???

[@antoinewilliams1358]

... Ive heard many aic covers... Even though this is a parody, its impressive

[@ralphremo2406]

My dad would have loved this. The Hell Priest was his favorite horror icon. "NO TEARS PLEASE, IT'S A WASTE OF GOOD SUFFERING. "
