@@TomMcMahonMUSIC Jerry is probably Layne's greatest contribution to the world, or at least up there with his incredible voice. Jerry was very shy about his voice in the beginning but Layne pushed him to sing more and more on the songs saying "they're your songs, you should sing them". If it wasn't for Layne being such a great friend we wouldn't have gotten the incredible harmonies that they shared. So many other frontmen wouldn't want the spotlight taken off them like that, but not Layne.
This cover is amazing and beautiful, but I still don’t think it can measure up to how emotional the unplugged version is. Laynes voice for one is unlike an other especially when it comes to conveying emotions thru singing. But even more than that is the fact the he wrote these songs and knowing about what he went thru and struggled with, it just adds another level of weight to the song
???? This is pretty obviously not live. Notice how the audio doesn't sync with what he's playing? Why do you think he cropped out his picking hand? Also, no one naturally sings this consistently or in-tune. You can hear the artifacts of the post processing, especially in the beginning. 4:56 ...and at the end. Super obvious here.
@ktrock77 No, he isn't. The auto tune isn't subtle either. Can you not hear how his pitch is unwavering and exact? That's melodyne. Melodyne does a great job at sounding natural, but nobody can sing that exactly. It's not possible. Don't be fooled. I hope you aren't this easily fooled with AI stuff. We really need to do a better job of training the older people on media literacy and recognizing when stuff has been digitally altered. Truth is, he's probably a really good singer, but the pitch correction software makes it superhuman. It's like when good-looking women use face filters and end up looking uncanny valley. If you know how humanity normally appears, the perfect digital facsimile becomes a creepy mockery solelessly mimicing humanity without any imperfections. The guitar playing is off, too. You can see how the right hand doesn't sync with the audio. That's obviously why this creator cropped it out. Sure, there's an argument that this is art and only the end product matters, but it sets an unrealistic standard, and by removing the imperfections, you remove much of what makes art beautiful in the first place. Struggle, effort, hard-won talent, emotion. That's why we like music. Please apply more scrutiny. It's not a big deal when you fail to spot a guitar player using digital cheat codes to artificially enhance a performance, but I worry you aren't thinking critically about other media you consume. You can end up being duped by AI to believe all sorts of nonsense if you aren't careful.
I don't disagree but I always loved Nutshell just a bit more. "And yet I find, and yet I find Repeating in my head If I can't be my own I'd feel better dead"
Fantastic!!! 🤘As a 54 yo connoisseur of AiC, I want you to know this made me feel what I felt the first time I heard Staley sing it... but your version has an additional hauntedness to it. Just just indescribably good.
This is the best version I’ve ever heard in my time of being an AiC fan and I started when they came out with Facelift. This is beautiful, just beyond beautiful! ❤❤❤❤
Me too. But I didn’t really like it. I wanted to. They were cool. But then dirt was so real and so many good songs that had to stay aaay from the super death rock ones. They were true death. But I love them. People have says many times … what do you do? Make Alice n chains spiritual songs ?
You just bring this song to life.. one of my greatest artist of all time... And nope he could not be saved... saddest end ever... thanks for representing his music so well.. you're amazing! Beautiful voice on a beautiful man... loved every second of it...
Brother, your timing, cadence, and accuracy are just so on point. I love it when anyone covers AIC and respects it for what it was always meant to be. Mad love, my guy.
AIC has been a constant in my life since I discovered them in college and was lucky enough to have seen them live in 1992. I've said for many years since then that "Down in a Hole" and "Rain When I Die" represent the pinnacle of what Alice achieved in the Layne Staley era - both representative of their overall sound, but artistically the top of their game. So to cover "Down in a Hole", get the sound and the vibe on the money, but at the same time make it your own, that is an amazing achievement. Hat's off.
I have been a lead vocalist and song writer for some time now. My goal has always been to age right and good like a fine barreled bourbon as far as my health and voice are concerned. I know for a fact that the same goes for this amazing musician. First time ever witnessing this fella perform and I assure you all it won’t be the last. Absolutely Inspiring. AIC has a very special place in my heart. I understand the darkness that feasted and then swallowed Layne alive all too well. I am still lost in that nightmare. I try to keep the hope and faith that I will one day soon stumble back on to that path to true freedom. Songs like this masterpiece remind me that I’ve never been alone in that dark place. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. Godspeed
"I have been a lead vocalist and SONG WRITER for some time now." Are you sure about that, bud? You can't even correctly spell songwriter. Haha. What's the name of your longtime band you've been the "lead vocalist" of? I'm actually a singer/songwriter/producer and have been most of my life, and I can't say I've ever seen a fellow songwriter or musician of any kind that can't correctly spell what they do for a living.
I discovered this song at a time in my life when I was a lost young man and it resonated with how I felt at the time and it helped me realize I wasn't alone and eventually I came out of a dark hole that I was down in. If you are in that hole keep climbing you will Make it out.
beautifully done. one of my favorite bands of my youth. hearing this took me back to the simpler days. can smell the smells and hear the sounds of that time
Clever. So he recorded the actual track on a mic and edited it beautifully. And its being played over the footage of him strumming and singing here. Clever technique a lot of ppl use to make it look like they’re singing “live.” IMO thats just as impressive as being able to do it live.
I subscribed before you'd finished! Awesome job man, that was so nice hearing each word clearly and the acoustic version- brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyed this and look forward to seeing what else you've done! 💯💯💯

Absolutely mesmerizing! Your rendition of this song left me speechless. The way you captured the emotion and essence of the song is simply incredible. Every note, every nuance of your voice, it's all perfect! I love how you've managed to make this song your own, giving it a unique and personal twist. I can truly feel the passion and love you've poured into every moment. Bravo! This cover definitely deserves to be listened to over and over again. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world and gifting us with this wonderful rendition.
Jeez man. Your vocal control is phenomenal. This is one of the best covers of any song I’ve seen anyone do on here. I couldn’t be more impressed with this.
Perfect rendition. I love it. The level of talent in singing that you possess, and the grit you put into your singing is just the perfect amount. Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you❤
WOW. Obsessive AiC fan here and this is as equally haunting to the original, but in a different way. Just beautiful, absolute perfection. You have done beyond justice to the original song. I'm sharing this immediately
Vocals were amazing...The Classical guitar half a step down made it sound just like the unplugged version I heard live many years ago...You have the IT. Keep rocking on.
I can't get enough of this version of this song. The tone in his voice resonates with the low end of his acoustic guitar in a way that shakes me to my core. Literal tears and goosebumps. Love it!
One of my all time favorite songs. I’ve heard many a cover of this, including my own. I really enjoyed this. To me you did enough to make it your own, without compromising the original. Great job!
Yeah man, you hitting every note, vocals are top top notch I love how you subtly change things in a good way really awesome bro I'm glad I stumbled apon your skills

Hands down the best version of this song i've ever heard. Amazing man! You captured the essence of the song not Just with your voice , but with a guitar. Well done.
Yeah, too many favorites. But one that I keep coming back to over and over is "The Ending of Our Time" from Only What There Is. I love the guitar work and vocal melody. I bought a physical cd copy and was listening to the album in the car and when it came to that last song. I remember just stopping and listening to it about 3 times in the car after I got home from wherever I was driving. Just one of those songs that hit me just right. It would be great to hear that sometime. Thanks, River!@@rivercrombie
I love this version, like an outlaw country style of vocals. You absolutely killed this one, can't wait to see more. Will you cover Soundgarden/Audioslave at some point?
A stripped down version of Long Gone would be great. I know that song got a lot of hate because of the way it was produced but its a beautiful track at its core and i think your style would really let it shine through.

I have heard so many covers of Alice in Chains songs, but I don't know if I've ever heard such a beautiful rendition in my life. I have never felt so sincere about anything in my life. Well done sir.
Bury me softly in this womb I give this part of me for you Sand rains down and here I sit Holding rare flowers In a tomb, in bloom Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved See my heart I decorate it like a grave You don't understand who they thought I was supposed to be Look at me now a man Who won't let himself be Down in a hole, feelin' so small Down in a hole, losin' my soul I'd like to fly, but my wings have been so denied Down in a hole and they've put all the stones in their place I've eaten the sun so my tongue Has been burned of the taste I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth I will speak no more of my feelings beneath Down in a hole, feelin' so small Down in a hole, losin' my soul I'd like to fly but my wings have been so denied Bury me softly in this womb I give this part of me for you Sand rains down and here I sit Holding rare flowers in a tomb Down in a hole, feelin' so small Down in a hole, losin' my soul Down in a hole, feelin' so small Down in a hole, outta control I'd like to fly but my wings have been so denied
Came for the guitar, stayed for the vocals.
Exactly same here! So nice!
I did the exact same thing! I was pleasantly surprised.
Unbelievable! Beautiful I say you! Very touching of my heart of an already favorite song for me.
i refuse to thumb up beyond a 269 bc of the 69
Exactly this comment. Wow dude. Bravo
5 seconds in I already knew: ''This is gonna be good'' 👏
Right? He sung about 4 words and it was in a playlist immediately lol
I clicked like when he was humming
Right!! So good
This Is beautiful, I miss Staley mush more after hearing this beautiful cover
Same exact moment for me too.
I'm usually a quiet guy who watches, doesn't comment and hit like buttons, but damn man, I have chills.
Same. ❤ Cheers brother🍻God bless
This guy is really good.
But after I listened I played the original.
As they say, "there's levels"...... RIP
You ever hear the original? Or Ryan Adams cover? This is mid at least be honest with yourself
Dude's voice is powerful.
He's got a great voice
OMG! This is THE best rendition I've ever heard from anyone. Your voice is amazing, brother.

Same age. Puts me back into 9th grade summer time house party memories.

Hearing talented people covering this song really shows how great Layne Staley truly was!
No one can say the opposite
Don’t leave Jerry out; he wrote the music and the lyrics to it about his girlfriend Courtney.
@@TomMcMahonMUSIC Jerry is probably Layne's greatest contribution to the world, or at least up there with his incredible voice. Jerry was very shy about his voice in the beginning but Layne pushed him to sing more and more on the songs saying "they're your songs, you should sing them".

Very true. @@Indecisionn
We had to wait over 30 years for this cover but it was worth it!
How?

Alicia Widar, one of the best freakin covers of this song! Alongside River now I guess. Imagine a crossover with an original song??
I thought the unplugged version would be the most emotional. You sir have captured this song the way it needs to be

Listen to it live in the 1996 MTV unplugged video..... you'll literally cry

Who won't let himself be
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
I'd like to fly, but my wings have been so denied
Down in a hole and they've put all the stones in their place
I've eaten the sun so my tongue
Has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more of my feelings beneath
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
I'd like to fly but my wings have been so denied
Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers in a tomb
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, losin' my soul
Down in a hole, feelin' so small
Down in a hole, outta control
I'd like to fly but my wings have been so denied
Oh boy the feels. Speechless here.
That is the best cover I have ever heard of this song. Incredible.
