I can play every single guitar part for every single Alice in Chains album with Layne... I am not a drummer and even I can tell he is screwing shit up.
Lol I actually think that the drummer is in a completely higher level than the whole band He was great and creative Keep up mr drummer you will be something
Awesome so close , love to see a better quality video of this version. "Would" is my favorite song ever. This kid is almost the reincarnation of Layne. Congrats !!! Awesome !!
Here are two recent videos of Brendan Maier singing WOULD with the Stowaways on the Shiprocked! 2018 cruise! This was Brendan's first year performing on Shiprocked! The sound quality of the 2nd video is a bit distorted due to the wind - they were performing in the middle of the ocean on a Carnival Cruiselines ship! - but MAN this still sounds absolutely KILLER!!! #BrendanMaier #Shiprocked2018 #WouldShiprocked The Stowaways - Would (ShipRocked 2018) (BRENDAN MAIER VOCALS) th-cam.com/video/nOr4AsYy_DA/w-d-xo.html The Stowaways Shiprocked 2018 (BRENDAN MAIER VOCALS) th-cam.com/video/pZvC3jjxVaM/w-d-xo.html
You can not be serious. He's good in covering AIC songs but he's just a kid and it would be so dumb to have a Staley-esque kid in AIC (horrible) ...and just because a person has an appropriate (Layne's kinda) voice to sing AIC songs that doesn't mean he can fit the band. Be real.
@@MLCrow He now is the official singer for Seattle's annual tribute to Layne. And the groupies that go every year (myself included) .. we are so happy! We love Brendan!
@@bythewaybytheway67 Ok, good for him. Btw I have no problems with him being in tribute or cover bands (regarding AIC or related)...it's just Layne Staley (my favorite singer) was (well...still is) too unique to be replaced in AIC with a "copycat" (or kinda), that would be like an insult to Layne imo. That's my point of view. Be well.
I doubt Duvall would feel threatened by this kid sounding like Layne. Duvall is a pro that had success before joining AIC & Cantrell, Inez & Kinney love playing with him.
No one is trying to take anything away from William Duvall! The point isn't to make Duvall feel threatened or somehow inferior; Duvall is an amazing singer in his own right! The point is to give credit to the amazing voice and talent of Brendan Maier! And to hopefully have Jerry and the band invite Brendan to sing with them at a gig or two! As far as I can tell, Brendan isn't out to "steal" Duvall's job. Brendan is a massive AIC fan who looks up to Jerry and also has great admiration for Duvall...and also just happens to have a voice that sounds nearly identical to Layne Staley. Brendan has publicly stated he thinks William Duvall is an amazing singer and does an awesome job for AIC.
I wish they would at least put him in the band for a few songs as a tribute to Layne. I know Jerry Cantrell has music laying around that he pictures Layne singing. Man, I wish too!!!🤞🤞🤞
@@thewhitewolf7886 came here to say that. William has now officially been with AIC longer than Layne and people still calling him new, or not referring to him by name at all.... 🤦♀
Drummers endure so much criticism and rarely get the respect they deserve. Most of the people that took shots at you are so brave behind their keyboards aren't they? Probably never picked up an instrument or wrote a song either .. You're out there doing it & I hope you hone those skills that are there. Clearly the band chose you - so keep going.. The mouths are going to keep flapping & the haters are gonna hate - but you are going to enjoy a life of making music & rockin them.. while they sit home & criticize doing nothing with their lives. Bon voyage! You're only going to get better.. & they're going to just be stuck on stupid.
Yeah I understand the point of cover bands trying to look like and have the mannerisms of the original band. He is the closest to Layne Staley I've ever heard, but the physical mannerisms are a bit annoying. Is he going to go in the back and shoot dope too?... if he really wants to get it right he's going to need to do that. I named my son after Layne. I don't like seeing this guy act like him, but I can't deny that he does sound like him a lot.
@@ziggylayneable i would understand this complaint if it was just his band playing originals with no ties to AIC id be annoyed like "do your own thing" but when its a tribute band with that intention its silly to complain someone is trying to imitate the band they are literally there to imitate.. this no different than going to an ac/dc tribute and seeing a guy in a schoolboy uniform with an sg bounce across the stage all night.. Or a metallica tribute and see a guy with a mullet in a black wife beater in power stance and an explorer type guitar down to his knees.. i dont really expect either band to kill an original member or require james hetfields wife to throw him out of his house and go to rehab to properly pull off a tribute band lol.. i mean i seen an alice cooper tribute band the night before halloween with the band in full get up, props, stage design, and the whole act for each song and it was a fuck of a lot cooler than watching old guys in tshirts n jeans stand there and play alice cooper songs.. bet it makes them a whole lot more money as a tribute band too. i get it 100% if you jack someones shit and call it your own... seen enough guys trying to be phil anselmo, dressed like em, practiced stage moves in the mirror, gave rehearsed phil type speeches between songs in their best phil voice.. its cringey.. unless its a pantera tribute
Standing in the same spot holding the mic the entire song is imitating Laynes mannerisms??? That's all you have to bitch about...your comment makes me nauseous.
This singer never fails to impress me with resurrecting Layne's voice but damn did I cringe when I heard the camera man muff it all up with his addition to the song!
singer- kurt cobain with that fucking nickelback guy guitarist- tom morello bassist- jim root of slipknot drums- steel panther drummer the cover was awesome!!! for real...
Little over doing it on the head shake bro but I give a nod so... Will someone please take that Les Paul and smash it on stage in front of the guitarist then hand him a Strat! If you can't do the solos don't play em dude... I expect more from a lefty.
People forget that Duvall is actually keeping the memories of Layne still alive. The man respects Layne to the the point of not singing in his pitch when they do Layne and Jerry's songs
He's a great singer! Closest to layne I've ever heard. But his "original" material is just AiC rip off. I feel this dude could go somewhere if he actually just focused on being himself
Hey kid dig ur taste in music you chose the best of the best....but pretending to be somethin else....I hope like Layne u evolve into your own...he wasnt the make up and hair he posed as...he played the role did the actions of the glam bands cliches but now hes incomparable to anyone ...Jerry's still playin the role...but that's a subject for a different day...take ur talent and do the best you someday....that aside..that's got to be some fun exciting shit(:
I hate tribute band . When i see the singer moving his head like layne i find it so ridiculous .... voice is really similar but they re not musicians..they re are Actors
Did anybody tell the drummer they are playing would?
Fabian Manquez aaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahhahahahahahah fukn funny
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He wanted to play paradise city instead
@@ericvocals9034 lmaooooo
@@ericvocals9034 loool
Someone give this kid a proper band to sing for
Haahahaha I was like how’s he sound so good and the band isn’t even keeping time w him
Like the actual AIC band?
You would think the fucking drummer could tune his snare to at least sound remotely like Kinney's. The drums just kill everything
No just put him aic
@@WilliamDavis-vs5thnah William is good enough if Jerry wanted a sound alike he would’ve found one
The drummer should practice this song about 1000 times to the recording of it. Man!!!
Yes he should
If he would, could. 🤣
@@FWDSUXARSE Shoulda woulda coulda 🤣😂🤣
This drummer needs to focus less on adding a bunch of flare and get the basic parts right cuz he's messing the song up
Yeah the drummer has fucked up every cover from them that ive watched so far
I can play every single guitar part for every single Alice in Chains album with Layne... I am not a drummer and even I can tell he is screwing shit up.
Let the drummer have his day, won’t be forever
Agreed
Lol I actually think that the drummer is in a completely higher level than the whole band
He was great and creative
Keep up mr drummer you will be something
Impressive how this is the closest we have to Layne's voice! It does justice to the original. ❤
Sing your heart out Brendan & never stop doing what you're doing! you are beyond incredible-
Holy sh#%! This is Stanley's voice all the way from hell down!
Staley!
TheMozart79 who are stanley..??
Are you the guy who labels food at the Chinese buffet?
No, but he did a good job for sure
This guy needs a proper band who can keep up with him and acclimate his vocal ability

I felt that too, he is so close to Layne that it started to freak me out.

I’m pretty sure it’s not this singer
Where is this singer??
Not really respectfully
Kid is a fuckin boss on the vocals! Holy shit!
I think the drummer learned how to play the drums from a weekend of playing rockband and cant play without the video game going lol...
Layne's vocals are unmatchable, but hearing at least something that can come close to Layne is awesomr.
Is dat Lars on the drums?
This guy should be singing for AIC

Good to see a band do Chains justice with amazing talent.Awesome job guys!! You did ur homework.
Dude, even his speaking voice is just like Layne's.
This is *freaky*
Wow you're right!! I never even noticed til you mentioned it!! That is *FREAKY!!* Just f'ing awesome!!!!
It is. Fucking uncanny.
Layne had dalliances out there. One never knows 😁
He does that om purpose bro lol..hes a layne impersonater
@@jgif945 Yeah, I'm not really sure how I feel about it anymore. There's paying respects and then there's just straight up ripping someone off.
I'm so impressed!! Awesome vocals! Wish Jerry could hear him.
Tweet this video to Alice In Chains! I did several times already! ;)
Donna poor idea cause only duvall watches aic accounts.
LOL, it's okay, I never say get rid of Duvall - he is good. I just ask please invite Brendan to sing in concert with them sometimes.
I doubt Duvall would feel threatened by this kid sounding like Layne. Duvall is a pro that had success before joining AIC & Cantrell, Inez & Kinney love playing with him.

DAMN HE CAN WAIL
sheila anderson damn Shelia I like the way your beards coming in girl.
jhgjgk fuckin stupid 😂😂😂
This is the closest match to Layne's voice. Amazing cover 👏
Wow...this dude is awesome!!
A genuine question: Is Jerry Cantrell aware of this singers existence?
I'd love to see them perform together at least for one show man...
I wish i can only wish he was with the current AIC line up i can just only wish
The band didn't want an exact copy of Layne because it makes them sad
i wish that you didn't wish so much
I wish they would at least put him in the band for a few songs as a tribute to Layne. I know Jerry Cantrell has music laying around that he pictures Layne singing. Man, I wish too!!!🤞🤞🤞
Good lord that lead singer is off the charts good wow
Drummer: 3/10
Guitarist: 5/10
Backup singer: 5.5/10
Bassist: 7.5/10
Layn- i mean the singer: 9.5/10
Man With Two Eyes guy in the crowd: -100/10
drummer -6/10
I forgot this was a cover for a split second until I re-focused on the shitty instrumentals again
Backup singer sucked
He needs to team up with jerry Cantrell
The singer is so incredibly good but, man, the band is terrible.
Makes total sense he left to make original music, which is very good btw.
wow this guy is way better than the new singer
he is right up there close to travis bracht
William has been with them over a decade now, new doesn't exactly fit lol
@@thewhitewolf7886 came here to say that. William has now officially been with AIC longer than Layne and people still calling him new, or not referring to him by name at all.... 🤦♀
Jerry needs to see this
Singer killed it!!!
He needs a new band and he'd be good to go👌
Someone wrap this guy in bubblewrab and safe him for future generations
Please contactt Jerry cantrel his voice Like layne 1991 's
Jerry cant handle the jealousy of another Layne...
He headbangs like Staley!
2:10 the fucking guy 😂😂😂
Lmaoooo
I'm speechless.. AWSOME job! Need better quality. 👍🏻
Bass needs more menace
Drummer needs to practice...but best vocal cover ..ever !!
Hey Sorry, I was the drummer that night, just left the whiskey agogo and lost my gooove, i will do better next time lol
If you can't just don't try.
We'd much apreciate it

This was sarcasm u idjits
Drummer is so wrong. Horrible drummer
Call Jerry Cantrell now! AIC got a new lead singer 🔥🤘🎸❤️🎤
I would really like the vocalist if he didn't try to imitate Layne outside of his vocals. Seeing him copy Layne's mannerisms makes me nauseous
That's the point. They're a cover band, so they're trying to get as close to AiC from the 90's
It’s a tribute band. That is the point

Kinda rude don't you think Myles?
@Mariana D'Amelio Exactly
freaky drummer bro
Voice is close.
It’s painful to watch him trying to imitate Layne’s signature head shaking.

It's a tribute band bro
its a tribute band that is what is supossed to do
Very good
