i been an acoustic rhythem guitarist and part time vocalist for over 25 years... you need to understand you need to go get yourself a signing. You deserve it mate. So nice to hear raw vocals no auto tune no post processing autotune either. No pitch correction just legit. Thank you friend for sharing this. (The ending gave me B. Withers vibes)
I started this song and before he start singing I got interrupted. I came back to my phone several minutes later and hit play. I was really feeling it, then I looked down and saw this dude. I was confused, I had forgotten this was a cover. I could barely tell.
@@jjp009 so, this guitar is a baritone. Capo 5 is standard tuning. I play most things on capo 4 so it’s easier to sing. But I guess I’m singing this one and the same tuning as AIC, nice!
Great job man! I really enjoy playing this one myself… you really go for it with those high parts. I usually whistle that stuff out.. I always say, Layne Staley will forever be underrated to people that aren’t musicians. Only a musician trying to play/sing an AiC song can truly appreciate how much talent Layne had. RiP Forver young! I think the mtv unplugged performance was my favourite of this. What an even sadder show now in hindsight.
@@stevenshawco1143 It’s hard to not get hooked on the unplugged AIC.. What an incredible show that must have been to see live. It’s one of the best and most raw they ever did. You did a beautiful job with it and should be proud.
The live version of “River of Deceit” Mad Season Seattle 1995 is another work of art by Layne. It’s far better than the studio version. The lyrics speak to everyone in one sense or another.
Lyrics We chase misprinted lies We face the path of time And yet I fight, and yet I fight This battle all alone No one to cry to No place to call home Ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh Ooh-ooh My gift of self is raped My privacy is raked And yet I find, and yet I find Repeating in my head If I can't be my own I'd feel better dead Ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh
Wow!! That was Great!! I have never heard anyone cover that song before because no one on this earth could ever sound like the one and only Layne Staley. But you really did it Justice. And playing the guitar too! 🤘🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Shit this sounds good man. Coming from someone who covered this a few times with a couple different bands, this is really good. You did this song justice brother. Now all that's left is how are we going to do "What the Hell Have I"?. Awesome song but gotdamn is it rough lol. I might could do the guitar if you could sing it?
I'm trying to learn several songs including this one. Ive seen guys tune down half a note for this song, you use a capon...i like that. PS great voice (my Lane is dead on, poor choice of words?)
@@johnsantostefano3373 thanks man! This is actually a baritone guitar. Capo 5 would be standard tuning. I have it on capo 4 so I’m in the same tuning as the AIC version.

F*ck... this was completely unexpected and you caught me off-guard. Hard to match Layne's voice, but your interpretation was spot on.
Thank you so much!
@stevenshawco1143 WOW BRO, DEFINITELY WASN'T EXPECTING THIS, BUT YOU KILLED IT!! LAYNE IS MY FAVORITE SINGER AND YOU JUST GOT A NEW FAN!
I agree.
This is the closest you can come to Layne without being Layne. Amazing!
Wow, thanks man!

Thank you so much!
This song is one of my favorite Alice in chains song and it's very difficult to give it justice my man you did a great job im sure Layne is impressed
Oh man, what a compliment, thank you! 🙏🏽
This has blown me away. This is my favourite song, and you brought it back to life. Strong and beautifully done
Wow, that’s way too kind. Thank you!
I can’t believe this doesn’t have way more views and likes. Fucking great cover !

A GREAT personal interpretation of one of my all time faves. BRILLIANT job brother!!😍👍🏾🎸
Thank you so much!
I thought by the comments that you were good...
You're f*cking amazing, dude.
Haha, I was preparing myself for a mean comment 😂 well done and thank you!
Well, that ain't bad. I was surprised.
Haha, thanks? 😊

Oh geez man, that means worlds! Thank you!
Man, I wasn’t expecting that great voice, great cover, keep it up!
Haha, nice. And thank you!
I started this song and before he start singing I got interrupted. I came back to my phone several minutes later and hit play. I was really feeling it, then I looked down and saw this dude. I was confused, I had forgotten this was a cover. I could barely tell.
Haha, that’s funny. Thanks man
Damn dude, nice work - RIP Layne
Thank you! Love AIC
StevenShaw, you sir are the real deal. Extremely well done!
Wow, man, thank you so much!
Superb mate ! Never gets old
Thank you!
Wow, awesome rendition! Keep at it man, you deserve a record deal!
Wow, thank you!
I never heard this in such a high key, but it sure was beautiful. Great job.
I think it’s the same key, isn’t it? Anyway, thank you!
@@stevenshawco1143 Well, you have a capo on the fourth fret. And isn't the original version tuned down a half step and no capo?
@@jjp009 so, this guitar is a baritone. Capo 5 is standard tuning. I play most things on capo 4 so it’s easier to sing. But I guess I’m singing this one and the same tuning as AIC, nice!
@@stevenshawco1143 Ahhh, all questions have been answered! Thank you. Lol!
@@jjp009 haha
This gave me chills and made me tear up at the same time.
That’s the best compliment, thank you! And sorry, haha
Gawd I miss Layne so much.
Great job brother.
@@MurdurPunch so do i brother. And thank you so much!
Damn, brother! Amazing! Thank you for sharing.

Dude, thank you and are correct on everything! I’m a metal head and didn’t like AIC until the unplugged “Nutshell” then was obsessed with all of it!

Lyrics
We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight, and yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find, and yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh
Incredible !! 👋🏻 from 🇨🇱
Thank you!
Impressive!👍🏻

Dude! Best compliment and I’m totally down!
Actually incredible, when did you start playing guitar and singing? definitely did not expect this….
Thank you! I started when I was 10. I’m 45 in may.
I'm trying to learn several songs including this one. Ive seen guys tune down half a note for this song, you use a capon...i like that. PS great voice (my Lane is dead on, poor choice of words?)
@@johnsantostefano3373 thanks man! This is actually a baritone guitar. Capo 5 would be standard tuning. I have it on capo 4 so I’m in the same tuning as the AIC version.
Wow. This was awesome.
Thank you!
Amazing Song!!! Amazing Cover!!! ❤
Thank you!
AMAZING!!
Thank you!
Surprised, figured this was going to be a cheesey country interpretation but was wrong.
Haha, nice
Bravo sir…bravo. 👏👏👏
Thank you!
