live performance on 2/18/05 from a benefit concert for the victums of the 2004 indian Ocean Earthquake. AIC songs are best with Layne Staley on vocals but Maynard did a great job.
Actually Jerry, Sean Anne & Nancy Wilson, Gavin from Bush and everyone in attendance said Maynard is the ONLY singer who was the most natural fit! If anyone could do it it would be Maynard!! And the ONLY singer Layne would approve of also!!!
Did you know that Staley has sung with Maynard on several occasions. I only wish I was at those live shows. My 2 most favorite band. I don't know which one I love more... so they tie for first and then soundgarden take the next spot.
From the electric set from the K-ROCK Tsunami Continued CARE Relief Benefit Concert of 2005. Ive been searching for actual video from this show. (A lot of guest musicians)
i wish maynard was alice in chains new singer the new guy is ok, but i would def prefer maynard if i can't have layne lol i know i am prolly being selfish
Wouldn’t work out. As I understand it being a huge MJK fanatic, he writes all of his own lyrics and unless doing a full blown cover song he doesn’t sing other peoples lyrics, which I totally understand. Easier to emote to your own experiences and memories, or whatever you write about. Also, part 2 of this is that in AIC a big majority of the lyrics were written by Jerry Cantrell. NOT TO MENTION, the man has restaurants, vineyards, and 3 amazing band that tour all of the time, so where would he find the time?
I will take Maynard over William DuVall absolutely any day. I personally don't really dig their new material. Not trying to be "that guy", but I guess we all are every once in a while.
Honestly I like DuVall as a vocalist way more in his former band Comes with the Fall...whatever...and I was never really impressed with Maynard's voice either (nothing that special) and I have some Tool albums (but I can't listen to any album for way too long)...Layne Staley was just too special/unique, the best imo (DuVall and Maynard are not even close). Just my opinion ofc.
@@Springfeeeel3 This is exactly the way I approach it. Trying to put their new stuff in the context of Layne isn’t really fair. Some people can’t get past that though, obviously
Great version of them bones. Funny thing is I saw Alice In Chains last year at the Epicentre Fest thing is Pomona play before Tool. I guess it's kind of expected that they would play a few songs together.
I have had a hard time adjusting to the new singer but he does a great job. Regardless, if Maynard took over as vocals for AIC I would be comfortable with that.
Oh, come on. Try harder, fellow troll. Although a lot of people are thin-skinned these days so I wouldn't be surprised if eventually someone took that seriously.
@BJZnRPZ I think it is only exclusive in whole foods. I tried to get a bottle from there but they say they are really limited. He actually did a signing in whole foods in my town.
lmfao "VERY SPECIAL GUEST" / every Maynard intro evar Its awesome they would have Maynard do the vocals for an AIC song. There are few people living qualified to fulfill such a job but he is one.
@wrangler34 I like Chris Cornell, Maynard James Keenan AND Mike Patton. To me its like fine beer or wine. The character differs from bottle brand to bottle brand, but its all to be appreciated.
@EvilassProductions @megustatocar420 It's called a talk-box, and it's a great little invention that allows your voice and your guitar to sort of blend into one by distorting each other. I'd recommend "Rocky Mountain Way" by Joe Walsh; he's a former member of the Eagles, so not exactly very heavy, but towards the end of the song he has a talk-box solo which absolutely DEFINES talk-box solos. The device was still fairly unused in music at the time, and it still is, but it's great.
yeah lol, i just saw em at the mile hight music festival. it was their first show since 2007 i think. i didnt know that you were agreeing with me at first. i mean yeah anyone can love tool but 90 dollars a ticket along with shipping and taxes the total for just one person came out to be 137 bucks, and i brought 2 people. but it was well worth it.
@megustatocar420 XD I think it is awesome. Basically he has the second mic hooked up to something similar to a guitar pedal which changes his voice. So he can A. sing normal, B. sing distored/different, and C. BOTH AT THE SAME TIME! They really put on amazing live shows.
i am not detracting from maynard's singing ability, and he has great range (on the higher end). i'm just saying that layne had the widest range of possibly any rock singer in history.
here if i was at an alice in chains concert and maynard came on stage i was fuckin ball my eyes out wit happiness to the point where it wud be embaressing. even the though of it now ... holy shit. i would FREAK the FUCK OUT.
@opticannon I agree maynard is the man and I love tool and apc..i can agree probably was a pa issue cause I've seen him live enough to know dude can blow!!
The person that was meant for is from America... Hence the America statement... And my own advice is not to talk people down or make nasty rude comments with foul language towards someone who simply says they like a song... If saying one likes a song or band is reason to verbally abuse them... Well then I feel sorry for you as well... God bless you and I hope in the future people find a more constructive way to give an opinion other then verbal abuse... Have a nice day!
@Alientank I like Maynard much more that William but William's not disappointing in the least. He is a decent replacement. However, I'd like to see Maynard on a few original songs with Alice in Chains
The only reason fans of a band hate a newcomer is becaue they are used to the old band as a whole. When a replacement occurs, the fans seem to compare how "good" the new guy is compared to the former member. What most dont realize is that the new person is not a clone of the previous person so they fail to give the new guy a chace... such a shame :(
@metamaniac420 I myself see "grunge" as more so an era than much of a fully developed genre or sub-genre of music. But again as for southern influence in AIC, look at Jerry's taste. I may be wrong but I remember reading even somewhere a long time ago Jerry saying he and his dad would sometimes go down southern states during his youth. I do believe it is widely accepted he has spoken on some of his influence being southern in style in his guitar work. Check around for a written interviews.
maynard has probably the clearest, prettiest voice of any rock singer ever, but layne's voice had more range than anyone else's! i miss him for sure!!!! maynard certainly doesn't have lane's range, and lane certainly couldn't sing some of the highs in opiate or undertow where maynard really wails! but they both are one of a kind voices!
Captain Ben Walsh "clearest, prettiest voice of any rock singer ever but layne's voice had more range than anyone else's" you need to hear more TOOL or APC. Maynard is a beast with a 4 octave range. Try to sing The Outsider or Ticks and Leeches and get back to me. Let's just put it this way... there's a whole stock or generation of singers who've patterned their voice to Staley's (that's your sully erna and the likes) but no one has sounded like Maynard. btw Maynard and Howerdel have awesome harmonies on Orestes.
@metamaniac420 Thanks man, hope I didn't come off as prudish. I've been wrong before about a lot of things and I do accept the fact that I may even be wrong now. I don't wanna come off as high and mighty either. I respect your opinion as well. And if anything it's nice to see people discuss the content and disagree without insulting intended, You did nothing wrong. Cheers dude..
@jbilunes Hell no man. Even Puscifer has great tracks. I loved all the tracks I listened to, even if they did sound kind of odd for Maynard to sing, but hey, it's what he does.
chris cornell is awesome, and slaves and bulldozers is one of my favorite songs (and kudos to you for recognizing soundgarden's best song - unlike everyone else), but chris' range is great on the high side! layne could hit nearly as high as chris, and much much lower. that is range. i think you are mistaking the ability to hit the higher notes with range!
@GodofReapers I know about talk-boxes. I am pretty sure this isn't a talk box, because their is no tube. He has too mics and the tube is what makes the sound similar to talking. Plus I don't think you could sing very well with a tube in your mouth (because he will sing through both mics at the same time) I know all about Joe Walsh. They are all great. Peter Frampton of course used one all the time too. Alice in Chains - Man in a box used one. I think the beginning of Eulogy uses one too.
@Xeroxed96 What the fuck are you talking about? No Quarter, Imagine, Rocket Man, Demon Cleaner, Stranglehold - these are all songs that Maynard has covered with his various bands.
as enticing as that sounds it would be dumb... maynard would own on an alice cd... but duvall does too... and he is relitivley unknown... the new stuff is good.... maynard is too creative to fall into another bands style and not put his own spin on it... and frankly i like alice the way they are... the way they always sounded..i woudnt want them to change
Maynard and AIC? Layne and Maynard are like my two favorite singers ever!!
Layne accually sings backvocals on tool's opiate
What about josh homme, nick olivieri, or mark lanegan eh?
Laynard
@@henrywall6802 he said HIS favorite, dumbo
@@CarlosSpiecyWeeny Layne sang Opiate on stage with Maynard!!! The only other singer to ever sing with or for Tool
Stayley, James Keenan and Mike Patton are the three fucking gods of the 90's
Joan Saag patton is god man!
Staley Keenan and Cornell
@Breno Baptista don't forget Scotty Weiland. The 90s had so many badass singers for rock
A-G-R-E-E-D (I'd also toss in Chino, but well said)
laynes voice is impossible to recreate. Maynard and Layne were good friends, I think it's awesome Maynard honored
him by singing this beautiful song.
Actually Jerry, Sean Anne & Nancy Wilson, Gavin from Bush and everyone in attendance said Maynard is the ONLY singer who was the most natural fit! If anyone could do it it would be Maynard!! And the ONLY singer Layne would approve of also!!!
Did you know that Staley has sung with Maynard on several occasions. I only wish I was at those live shows. My 2 most favorite band. I don't know which one I love more... so they tie for first and then soundgarden take the next spot.
Yeah
Same bro
He used to sing Opiate (imagine that) with Tool during the Lalapalooza tour they were both on.
MJK is amazing!
Seb Nicholson ummmm Sir MJK
Maynards style fits so well with AIC....fuckin love this
He had to adjust his voice at the beginning cuz he’s not used to singing a half step down
This is beautiful.
From the electric set from the K-ROCK Tsunami Continued CARE Relief Benefit Concert of 2005. Ive been searching for actual video from this show. (A lot of guest musicians)
Maynard for president!!!
maynard was awesome in this!
wow. one of my favorite vocalists singing in place of another. different, but good
is there any video footage of this performance floating around anywhere? All i can find is audio.
Damn, Maynard did awesome with this song. I like to hear other people singing Layne's shit with respect.
i wish maynard was alice in chains new singer the new guy is ok, but i would def prefer maynard if i can't have layne lol i know i am prolly being selfish
Adam Sarduci I mean Maynard already has like 900 bands so what difference would it make. Then again it would take them 15 years to release an album
@@Ahnenerbe1944 this is hilarious although it's the rest of tool that take the time writing the music, Maynard gets the writing and vocals done fast
Yep
I miss Layne
I love how people just think Jerry could pick any singer out of any band and they’d immediately drop everything to come sing for AIC
Me, Tool, Lollapalooza. It's gonna be the best time ever.
This would have been awesome to see.
this is cool as hell
hell is hot
and fake.
@@NsntgamerI think that's the joke?
Perfection
Perception is an amazing thing!
It would be a dream come true if they make an album

this works really welll...and the band sounds fuckin amazing.
everyone listen to this guy cause he is right
I will take Maynard over William DuVall absolutely any day. I personally don't really dig their new material. Not trying to be "that guy", but I guess we all are every once in a while.
I hear you, I think we just got to accept the fact he will never sound like Layne not that he is trying which is good.
Yeah same
Honestly I like DuVall as a vocalist way more in his former band Comes with the Fall...whatever...and I was never really impressed with Maynard's voice either (nothing that special) and I have some Tool albums (but I can't listen to any album for way too long)...Layne Staley was just too special/unique, the best imo (DuVall and Maynard are not even close). Just my opinion ofc.
maybe you should go back and give them a try without judging it based on Laynes departure....all 3 albums without Layne are still pretty damn good.
@@Springfeeeel3
This is exactly the way I approach it. Trying to put their new stuff in the context of Layne isn’t really fair. Some people can’t get past that though, obviously
This is so cool. Maynard with the chains, awesome, Although no one beats Layne Staley,
but, yeah he did an awesome job on Vox
Best of both worlds
*what toaster did you record this with?
Great version of them bones. Funny thing is I saw Alice In Chains last year at the Epicentre Fest thing is Pomona play before Tool. I guess it's kind of expected that they would play a few songs together.
dude speaks from the core!
Couldn't agree more
THANK YOU! friends say "sounds just like him"
BUT... It's NoT him... thanks for doing that... aweful sentiment, i think
I have had a hard time adjusting to the new singer but he does a great job. Regardless, if Maynard took over as vocals for AIC I would be comfortable with that.
Imma let you finish, but lil Wayne was the best guitar player to ever live
Oh, come on. Try harder, fellow troll. Although a lot of people are thin-skinned these days so I wouldn't be surprised if eventually someone took that seriously.
travis high legendary
I thought it was funny
Somebody should have interrupted your parents...
@@juansalazar62686 do you mean mean that the best part of him dripped down his mommy's leg?
Maynard should be in Alice in chains :)
@wrangler34 yes and rock n' roll from it's roots. even the newer music stays with good old fashioned rock n' roll.
BEST EVA
just awesome
They both kick some serious ass in their own rights..:-)
What a beast, that was good.
ME GUSTA!
nailed it
@BJZnRPZ I think it is only exclusive in whole foods. I tried to get a bottle from there but they say they are really limited. He actually did a signing in whole foods in my town.
@megustatocar420 His heart was beating in perfect atrophy, a rhythmic harmony of epic proportions
lmfao "VERY SPECIAL GUEST" / every Maynard intro evar
Its awesome they would have Maynard do the vocals for an AIC song. There are few people living qualified to fulfill such a job but he is one.
the best in my opinion
Wow I can't believe this happened.
Grump Bump
where did they emntion this? i need to know O:

You sir can take both of my thums...TAKE EM!!!!!! :)
Fernando Acevedo In the borderline?
@Dopelife maynard was just a guest singer. LAYNE STANLY was the original singer...
@KataarSolo damn straight, theres that tool fan with the context. lovely
@megustatocar420 XD
I think it is awesome. Basically he has the second mic hooked up to something similar to a guitar pedal which changes his voice. So he can A. sing normal, B. sing distored/different, and C. BOTH AT THE SAME TIME!
They really put on amazing live shows.
I am a huge aic fan been there since they started but do not ever talk shit about the Rev. maynard Tool is one of the most incredible band out there
this is great but i also love adam gontier (three days grace) singing rooster live
@Auslandic haha, dude.. so true.. well put. I agree completely.
i am not detracting from maynard's singing ability, and he has great range (on the higher end). i'm just saying that layne had the widest range of possibly any rock singer in history.
i think it sounds exactly like maynard, but then again im a huge fan of apc , too, and pucifer so its easy for me.
here if i was at an alice in chains concert and maynard came on stage i was fuckin ball my eyes out wit happiness to the point where it wud be embaressing.
even the though of it now ... holy shit. i would FREAK the FUCK OUT.
even though hes not around...

Damn ur in for a treat!
@megustatocar420 that this is too awesome. made my morning!

MAYNARD THANKYOU LAYNE WOULD BE PROUD
Maynard is Elvis to me now!!!
i already got tickets for them on july 18th for the mile high music festival, i dont know if its gonna be a huge tour though.
same goes for so many artist being dead does not increase your talent

Alice in chains is a 80 s like band with a singer that didn't sound like a girl. That's what made them seem more grunge, their singer.

So fucking good
I was thinking that maybe this could have been a voice over, what does wverone else think?
Stupid question. Is this legit? Maynard really did this song with Alice In Chains?
I'm gonna guess it's with Tool or TPC, it sounds tight but not like they own the song. That's just my guess though.
Yeah, it was for a benefit or something. Phil Anselmo sang Would?
It's real and lanely was gone by this time sadly.
