GEORGE BLACK because if you dont have the looks, the right music genre and age to attract enough revenue for record companies(pop music), you have to rely on EXCEPTIONAL talent, i mean pioneering the fields of untouched planes of creativity. This guy is a talented singer/guitar player, however these abilities are only a vessel/tool to express creativity/art. Now im not saying this guy isnt creative, but he's gotta be making exceptional original music/art to "get a record deal" or "make it".
Dude that is insanely brilliant, you have a perfect voice to cover Layne's songs and that is coming from someone who has covered many Alice In Chains and Mad Season songs, keep up the awesome work :)
Ain't found a way to kill me yet Eyes burn with stinging sweat Seems every path leads me to nowhere Wife and kids household pet Army green was no safe bet The bullets scream to me from somewhere Here they come to snuff the rooster Yeah here come the rooster, yeah You know he ain't gonna die No, no, no, ya know he ain't gonna die Here they come to snuff the rooster Yeah here come the rooster, yeah You know he ain't gonna die No, no, no, ya know he ain't gonna die Walkin' tall machine gun man They spit on me in my home land Gloria sent me pictures of my boy Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death My buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath Oh God please won't you help me make it through Here they come to snuff the rooster Yeah here come the rooster, yeah You know he ain't gonna die No, no, no ya know he ain't gonna die
I've seen the other cover "Show Me How To Live" and this dude is the only guy I've ever seen to emulate Chris Cornell's or Layne Stanley's voice. Seriously.. Most epic shit I've ever seen.
My man great work. The vocals is on point you respectfully sound like Layne Staley. If you become big for a fact I'll buy your music. :) R.I.P. Layne Staley. Greatest Grunge vocals ever.
WOOOOOW! This is awesome!And those of you, who wanna play smart and criticise: step in the ring and do it better! I checked out your channels and you're full of it...Think ybout it, if you're completely happy and satisfied with your life, you have no need to judge,criticise or be a smartass....
@MrUbercool12345 Yeah, it kinda did. But I tried desperately to learn other ways of trying to hit these notes. If you try hard enough, without killing yourself, you can learn other ways of using your voice that you never knew were possible. I'm still learning completely new things all the time.
Great cover dude, IMO i think it would sound better w/o the voice effect. Do a raw version...i like dirty vocals. Still though diggin' your stuff. Keep it up.
because his voice is suppofiscial not his voice. its been computer managed . gurranteed!..... nice setup thou ! ( as in all the equipment) on his voice again? I believe its called electrically managed synthetic or EMS>>> check his down in hole video .. you can hear a lot of reverb and echo within the laid down recorded vocals on the track........ bit like Ciara in a hip hop video .. if u get my drift.. but saying all this . great rendition and I do enjoy listening ... coz I fuking love this track ! 10/10 for effort!
broadbin I'll bet they didn't want to get someone who actually sounds exactly like Lane Stanley so they went with that waste of space that they have now because they could fire that guy and have this guy to be in the band and I'll bet the crowd would motherfuckin flip and cry for Joy if this guy was to open his mouth they would motherfuckin thank God he's in the new front man in AIC
Nothing really, I just thought of it because once when I was 5 she told me she was going to get a rooster and name it Alice, so I always thought Alice Cooper was a rooster and that AIC wrote that song and it gave my sister cancer, I get this weird vibe that you as well will have cancer, anywho...
Sorry to say this but your comment is just plain stupid. What fancy mic do you have in mind, lol! Would you like him to use a headphone mic or what. Yes he added some echo in the mix so what. Also he is playing and singing at the same time. That should count too...
Man I love this cover. I remember watching it years ago and I have never forgotten about it. I love how much control you have over your vocals. Makes me wish I could sing haha.
Really amazing - I cannot tell you how blown away I am by this cover. I have never said this before - this is the best cover I have ever watched. Love it!
I have heard a thousand covers and am a musician myself with 40 or so youtube covers. You have the most amazing voice I've ever heard (listened to half a dozen of your covers). Your vocal control is what my voice sounds like in my head. It must feel amazing. It is awe inspiring and frustrating as hell to listen to. Why are you not famous?
Best "Rooster" cover I've ever heard.
Not even close imo, this dude hits far deeper, more grit & soul
Definitely
me too , this guy is just playing with his soul and guitar... AMAZING!
The wrong chord ruins it for me
He's great but I miss the bass guitar...
10 years later this still incredible cover
😊
X2
yeah, same. 2021, just found it, bloody incredible! saw a comment on a recent vid and just had to find it!
20223 and still goin strong
im legit impressed
TOOL. THE COMPUTER SCREEN. I LOVE THIS DUDE ALREADY.
Gave me goosebumps.. Wow!
Seth Hollis I was going to comment on this too.
my ovaries exploded and I'm not even female
It was the first thing I noticed! haha
Damn dude, your falsetto. You have mad talent.
When I try to sing this, literally no sound comes out, my falsetto can't touch such high notes lmao
Did you get there yet? Im trying myself not sure it sounds any good. cant imagine doing chest voice with some of these parts
why dont this guy have a record deal yet
Because he has talent...
Matthew Delgado ha thats very true ,but very sad
x
GEORGE BLACK fucking right

Layne would be proud
I mean if layne used a shit ton of autotune then yeah I guess
Hell yeah, he would.
If Layne and Chris Cornell had a love child...
More like Layne and Stone Gossard
10 years later and I’m still coming back to this incredible cover 🤘🏽🤘🏽
This is probably edited to shit but these vocals are un. fucking. believable.
Enthos2 Layne's vocals were edited to shit.
teu cu
IHaveAPodXTLive His live vocals were still amazingly done.
Shay Patrick Cormac someone knows good movies like boondock saints
get out
Heard this over 10 years ago and go back every so often to hear this cover.
Alice In Chains should have hired you !! :D
Andras Polle for real i could handle this cat
I wonder if they've heard of him...
wow... i did not expect your voice to sound like that..
really good
Dude that is insanely brilliant, you have a perfect voice to cover Layne's songs and that is coming from someone who has covered many Alice In Chains and Mad Season songs, keep up the awesome work :)
What a powerful voice. keep it up, bro..RIP LAYNE u will never be forgotten.
the fact that you have tool as your computer background makes you 10x more my hero than you were before
What a voice! What a sound! I'm speechless...
By far the best rooster cover I've heard, I think layne would be proud
There will never be a better cover of this. Makes me feel some kinda way.
Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere
Wife and kids household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere
Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no, ya know he ain't gonna die
Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no, ya know he ain't gonna die
Walkin' tall machine gun man
They spit on me in my home land
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death
My buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath
Oh God please won't you help me make it through
Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no ya know he ain't gonna die
The goat rooster cover
Had it in my play lists for 13 years
I was blown away first time i heard it
Still in the same lane 🤟🤟🤟
I've seen the other cover "Show Me How To Live" and this dude is the only guy I've ever seen to emulate Chris Cornell's or Layne Stanley's voice. Seriously.. Most epic shit I've ever seen.
Great vocal.. i like it
Nailed it.
It’s 2023 and I’ve barely stumbled on this , wow . Fantastic rendering of this piece.
Gorgeous. Layne had that kind of sensitivity too. Beautiful cover. Thank you.
Was in Biloxi MS in 92, first time I heard this song. You just brought me back. Thank you.
I don't know why this is being recommended to me 10 years later, but I absolutely loved it
Goose bumps, tears and smiles, thank you, beautifully done.
Awesome voice, the effects complete it too, perfect cover.
this song... again and again
Musical from 20 years ago = One hell of a Musical era!
Still my favourite cover of this song. Listen to this weekly 🤷♂️💪🙌
Thanks Jake 😊
Don't listen to the Haters bro. You F-n' Rock! Great cover! Keep on keepin on !
One of my top favorites
My man great work. The vocals is on point you respectfully sound like Layne Staley. If you become big for a fact I'll buy your music. :)
R.I.P. Layne Staley. Greatest Grunge vocals ever.
Cody Henry damn fucking A
Susan Simpson they've should audition him for the part :)
Cody Henry hell yeah at least show Layne some respect
Nice tool wallpaper. Also, amazing cover man, you have an awesome voice. Keep it up!
Nice cover man!! Also, fantastic Tool wallpaper you have there :)
Great, so much great, thanks!
Love that 10000 days tool background on tha computer!
Wow, vocals are great. Has that rugged voice like Layne did.
fucking amazing. I got chills.
Top 5 stars, clap clap clap.
Very, but really very very god. Congratulations, its not easy to me cry with one cover.
Te felicito loco!!!! lo llevas en la sangre al Grunge y a Layne!
This was added 6 years ago and I just now came across this!? Excellent cover, excellent song. 👍🏼
WOOOOOW! This is awesome!And those of you, who wanna play smart and criticise: step in the ring and do it better! I checked out your channels and you're full of it...Think ybout it, if you're completely happy and satisfied with your life, you have no need to judge,criticise or be a smartass....
This is the best Alice in Chains cover I have heard
@MrUbercool12345 Yeah, it kinda did. But I tried desperately to learn other ways of trying to hit these notes. If you try hard enough, without killing yourself, you can learn other ways of using your voice that you never knew were possible. I'm still learning completely new things all the time.
Who are u
Who are u?
Oh boy!!!! keep on screaming please!! you are a BEAST!!!
to be perfect just a candle on your micro.Congrats...:)
Simply..... Outstanding!!
Layne and Jeff would be proud man, great cover
jeff?
Tell me you meant to say Jerry?
devinmetalfreak his name's jeff :lol:
What a voice
Great cover dude, IMO i think it would sound better w/o the voice effect. Do a raw version...i like dirty vocals. Still though diggin' your stuff. Keep it up.
wow. what a voice!!!
Christ, your voice is phenomenal. I'm in love with the rasp.
I remember watching this when i was 12, 6 years on and it just gets better! Such a voice and bursting with talent! I would buy his album..
Can you do some Tool covers? :D
Yeah, do it! :D
This voice... Amazing
Why wasn't he auditioned for the new AIC singer....???
because his voice is suppofiscial not his voice. its been computer managed . gurranteed!..... nice setup thou ! ( as in all the equipment) on his voice again? I believe its called electrically managed synthetic or EMS>>> check his down in hole video .. you can hear a lot of reverb and echo within the laid down recorded vocals on the track........ bit like Ciara in a hip hop video .. if u get my drift.. but saying all this . great rendition and I do enjoy listening ... coz I fuking love this track ! 10/10 for effort!
+dazza pool it was just an overstated compliment as this rendition is awesome. singing live in an arena is different ball game,
true its good man... and im glad u listening , AIC one of the most underated bands in my opinion specially where im at .. :-)
+dazza pool Yes the very first time i heard rooster, it was goose bumps all over man.
broadbin I'll bet they didn't want to get someone who actually sounds exactly like Lane Stanley so they went with that waste of space that they have now because they could fire that guy and have this guy to be in the band and I'll bet the crowd would motherfuckin flip and cry for Joy if this guy was to open his mouth they would motherfuckin thank God he's in the new front man in AIC
Beautiful. Vocals absolutely great!!!!!
I usually sing this to myself when I'm pheasant hunting and he usually isn't going to die.
It sounds so so great... It is just perfect
If i close my eyes i forget its a cover and start to wonder if they ever did an MTV unplugged session for this song... ^^ amazing.
Dan Inbari they did
New fan, huh?
Absolutely wonderful cover..blown away.
Wow, you sound almost identical to Layne.
smurfinit48, I have to respectfully disagree he made it his own and sounded bad ass.
I gotta say man.... that is so incredible. I've never heard someone's voice be so close to Layne's.
My sister died from cancer
What the fuck does that have to do with this song or this cover?
Nothing really, I just thought of it because once when I was 5 she told me she was going to get a rooster and name it Alice, so I always thought Alice Cooper was a rooster and that AIC wrote that song and it gave my sister cancer, I get this weird vibe that you as well will have cancer, anywho...
She was 28, she had a cleft palate and blond hair
Wow, not only have you got an awesome voice, but also a good taste of music :) ! I had to subscribe. Keep going :D !
TOOL
Cant stop watching
Sounds like there's a lot of sound manipulation or adjustments ... Or it's the echo... I'd love to hear you w out the fancy mic. But good job
Sorry to say this but your comment is just plain stupid. What fancy mic do you have in mind, lol! Would you like him to use a headphone mic or what. Yes he added some echo in the mix so what. Also he is playing and singing at the same time. That should count too...
Rozq It sounds really auto tuned
Troy O'Brien Guys, it's just reverb...
Yes.. And a Little Delay ;)
Troy O'Brien Yes it is really autotuned ^^
we need more soulful music like this, great job brother
synthesized...enough said
Lol piss off hater.
You have a point
lots of effects.. still good
Dev Puri glad you liked your own comment :)
rjonzen34 haha glad you noticed ;)
Your honestly so great its nearly difficult to believe it.
Sou brasileiro "I'm Brazilian" e adoro seus videos! faz cover das bandas que mais gosto, e ainda faz com muita qualidade !!
Just came across this. Bloody awesome
Man I love this cover. I remember watching it years ago and I have never forgotten about it. I love how much control you have over your vocals. Makes me wish I could sing haha.
wow, i didn't expected that voice!! great!
INCREDIBLE.
chill bumps...
This is pure gold! Best rooster cover i've heard. You captured all the important points with the right tone and delivery.
Shivers…. Holy shit bro… absolutely beautiful
Really amazing - I cannot tell you how blown away I am by this cover. I have never said this before - this is the best cover I have ever watched. Love it!
I have heard a thousand covers and am a musician myself with 40 or so youtube covers. You have the most amazing voice I've ever heard (listened to half a dozen of your covers).

Unecessarily amazing. Going to copulate to this.
Perfect version !!!! congratulations
Thanks for the new playlist. Magnificent covers. Bravo!
Keeping finding my way back to this cover. DAMN! Sooooooooooo good.
Vocals! Oh, they are great.
Breathtaking.
Yea!!!! Great voice..
Great cover and great voice, one of my favorite AIC songs.
You inspired me to try and cover Rooster myself. Don't have the skills you have but loved doing it anyhow.
This is absolutely amazing, oh my god.
chills man
2021, almost 11 years later- and this still holds up as the best covers of this song on TH-cam... And in general.
Thank you 😊
simply amazing
Your version is powerful. It is on constant play for me. Brilliant channeling and we benefit. Thank you!
agreed, best Rooster cover. good job
Probably the best voice I've heard on youtube.
