I’ve hidden a fair few Easter eggs in this one, even some riffs and sounds from ‘Boggy depot’. Let me know what you hear. Spotify version live now 🏄♂️
I love how you are so willing to pay tribute to something like Boggy depot, that album holds such a special place in my heart, Jerry's solo work is so underrated.
It's been like two years since I've found this guy's channel, but it still just bamboozles me how good he understands and feels AiC and Soundgarden. This stuff is just pure gold!
I'm always amazed by the uniqueness and originality of your work. Rather than copying and pasting riffs exactly as they are, as many do, you brilliantly capture the nuances that define AIC's style, crafting something extraordinary. Congrats on being such an exceptional artist.
I appreciate the fact that people are still enjoying boggy Depot even this far into its history. Between it and degradation Trip volume one and two, I don't think that Jerry gets enough credit for the amount of backbone that he was for this group. I love Layne to death but Jerry is a huge part of what makes this band what it is and I think you encapsulate that super well.
Thanks! I am literally listening to degradation trip on record at this very second haha. Jerry has inspired me on so many levels so I really try to put him (and Sean and the mikes) on the forefront of these songs.
@@stevewelsh__ trust me man as someone who practically idolizes Jerry's style both vocally and guitar-wise. Myself and many others like it absolutely appreciate it. Also if you haven't picked up any of the merch from the degradation trip anniversary. It's awesome and there's some great stuff to grab haha
Jerry’s solo material is so good. Saw him open for Metallica in 1998 and then saw him in Bowery Ballroom when he was promoting DT. Mike Bordin on drums, Robert Trujillo on Bass and the lead singer on the opening band who joined Jerry to sing and play guitar….William DuVall.
@@stevewelsh__I am so glad to hear someone giving that album the credit that it deserves as I feel like it’s so slept on. It holds a special place in my heart.
Incredible, as always. As a huge fan of both Soundgarden/Cornell and AIC - this is the perfect honoring of their legacy. You are incredible. I don't ever want to miss a video - notifications definitely on.
@stevewelsh__ Honestly my dude I wish I could support you more. But I have a policy to not spend money online due to financial situation, but I do send your videos to friends all the time (some of them are sick of you by now hahah)... But I guess I see myself in you, you see I was also once a strapping singer with luscious long hair and rock'n'roll dreams. And I am happy to say I lived many of them. But we all get old, and married and divorced and then we realize life seems to have passed us by. But it's cool, there are kids like you that still do it and believe it and live it and have the chops to go all the way. So I root for you man, I am sure a lot of us here do. Anyway, lost my train of thought, just keep on rocking man 😀
If you did nothing but stellar, soul capturing AIC versions of other songs, I'd hang out all day. The fact that you can do so much more just makes it so great. Congrats
It sounds like it could have been written by Duvall-era AIC, where Jerry's voice has become more prominent and William adds the upper range when needed. You nailed it once again!
"Fell On Black Days" helped me to endure the first anniversary of my sweet Mother's Death. My days have been beyond Black and deeply Depressive since her Death. Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Chris Cornell's other work sustained me. This sounds incredible. 😢
Damn. You have to understand both bands SO well to do this. Respect. Also “Sprinkle of Dirt” is a great band name…like a lite version of Puddle of Mudd.
Awesome cover, as always! I can certainly hear traces of "Whale & Wasp", "Angry Chair" and "Right Turn" in there! Hearing this makes me wish AIC would record another "Sap/Jar of Flies"-style EP! 🤘
Hi Steve This work of art is so incredibly well composed and realized. I get hot and cold and can't help but grin with empty eyes. If Chris and Layne could hear this... As a big Fan of Soundgarden and AIC, i bow to a true genius! Thank you man and thanks to whoever may have helped you!
Its like you channeled Layne and Chris from the other side to bring everyone a little gift and a hello to their fans. More of this please and thank you❤
My fav Soundgarden song done justice by the predecessors! This is fabulous! Love the Cantrell vocals processed in the style of some of his "Boggy Depot" tunes.
You got the other boggy depot reference! Cut you in was the main inspiration for the verse rhythm guitars. Someone else earlier picked that I had borrowed the rotary cabinet effect from ‘breaks my back’. Great ear from Both of you! ⚡️🤘🏻and thanks for your comment!
Love the creativity and attention to detail on these. Your AiC/SG and SG/AiC songs are by far my favorite content. Two stellar bands with such unique characteristics. Amazing job once again.
The reduction of notes in the "oooooo" part is a perfect adaptation to the AIC style. Initially, I missed the complexity, but it was the right choice for this video.
Man, this just dropped me back in March 1994 after "Jar Of Flies" came out. This is so well done, you could almost imagine Layne, Kurt, and Ayrton Senna were all still with us.
This is so bloody good. Absolutely love this soundgarden tune, would love to see Cantrell's and Thayll's reactions to these AIC and Soundgarden crossovers!
This is fucking rad. What an interesting idea, and such an excellent execution! Really did justice to Layne and Jerry’s harmonies and cadences. Love both bands; Fell on Black Days is a great song that is hard to imagine any other way and yet here it is powerful and intriguing in its very own right! Well done.
Despite all these hidden gems, it still sounds more Soundgardeny than Alice'y. Don't get me wrong: that's an awesome cover. It may be just another testament to Cornell's greatness that you can't rip him out of his own song :)
This is beautifully done Steve! The double vocals and Layne screams and way of his singing, the guitar riffs so AIC. I loved it! More please! Going to Spotify now.
Pure Gold. Alice in Chains were criminally underrated, and it takes maturity in the listener to understand just how good they were. Superb job. It sounds like a B-side from Facelift.
Wow, you absolutely crushed this one! 🔥Amazing job harmonizing and capturing Jerry's and Layne's vocals. Everything was spot on. Had to listen to it twice for all the nuances.
I grew up on this music and just found this dude today and gotta say his covers are second to none never heard a better rock covers keep doing what your doing very very impressive
I’ve hidden a fair few Easter eggs in this one, even some riffs and sounds from ‘Boggy depot’. Let me know what you hear.
Spotify version live now 🏄♂️
I love how you are so willing to pay tribute to something like Boggy depot, that album holds such a special place in my heart, Jerry's solo work is so underrated.
Yeah I can hear that. I also hear some Mad Season. Amazing as always! :D
I hear parts from Rooster, Heaven Beside You, Down In A Hole, Cut You In, My Song, What The Hell Have I and Would?
Immediately caught the Jerry inspiration! You sir are a genius, need to keep up this Alice in Chains thing ya got going on because it's SO GOOD.
Ahhhh!!!! Nice work...
Conclusion: every song ever can and should be re-recorded in the AIC style.
✅✅✅
100% hell yeah
Basically this
F U C K Y E A H ! 🤘😍🤘
True
As the former drum tech for both bands during the Dirt and Superunknown tours, this is the coolest fucking thing I've ever heard! Amazing job man!
Oh man! Thanks So much, what an awesome time to be drum teching, I bet you’ve got some killer stories. Thx for watching 🤘🏻
Please tell us some stories. I bet the Dirt tour in particular was insane!?
Wow!
And this is superb.
Bro you gotta tell some stories
You gotta share some stories!
This actually sounds like something that would be on Jerry Cantrell’s first album.
to me it sounds like SAP mixed with the self titled album.
I thought the same
Verses sound quite a lot like Cut you in
Sounds more like Jerrys Cantrell Degradation trip vol ... anyway feels so nice
I was the thinking the self titled album haha
The fact that you can do Jerry's and Layne's voices both almost flawlessly is really impressive, especially love these AiC recreations🤟
Agreed. They're my favorite, but I'm biased because AiC is my favorite band, lol
Sorry, but *nobody* does Layne's voice perfectly. Mr. Welsh certainly does a good imitation though.
@ Stop being annoying.
@@ZiddersRooFurry Lol, sure buddy. After you.
It's because Steve is their secret love child.
These covers are so perfect. Like they come from an alternate reality.
Like oh my god dude like gag me with a spoon already
Maybe they do❤
This is hauntingly perfect.
Cheers legend! 🤘🏻⚡️ def went for the darker groove on this one
It's been like two years since I've found this guy's channel, but it still just bamboozles me how good he understands and feels AiC and Soundgarden. This stuff is just pure gold!
Thank you! No bamboozles here just good times 😎🏄♂️
the really subtle reharmonization and meter tricks were absolutely gorgeous, really inspired stuff.
Love the original, love this version. RIP Layne and Chris!
I liked how you used Jerry’s voice for the verse and laynes voice for the chorus, like in “Would?” Or “I Stay Away”.
Layne definitely does the verse in I Stay Away
I'm always amazed by the uniqueness and originality of your work. Rather than copying and pasting riffs exactly as they are, as many do, you brilliantly capture the nuances that define AIC's style, crafting something extraordinary. Congrats on being such an exceptional artist.

@@MurphreeMusic you’re very welcome brother.
Haha I spend money at that store at least once every 6 months! Maybe I’ll have to check it out 👀

Beautiful...
Alice In The Sound Garden
Sound in Chains? 🤔
Those harmonies are so good man. Having Cantrell on lead vocals was a great choice!!
Thanks! JC is the king! 👑
Incredible, as always. As a huge fan of both Soundgarden/Cornell and AIC - this is the perfect honoring of their legacy. You are incredible. I don't ever want to miss a video - notifications definitely on.
Thanks legend! Welcome aboard! 🚂
You could just turn this channel into an "If Alice in Chains wrote" channel, as it's the best content you do. So good.
That one short measure at the end of the “ooo” bridge is absolutely a Jerry move.
Dude this was so subtle but so so spot on. How the hell hasn't your channel blown up yet is beyond me.
Thx for your consistent support legend! 🤘🏻⚡️

This honestly gives me nostalgia even though it's a what if. That's how good it is.
Haha I love that! Thanks mate 🤘🏻

I played that riff over and over after my mother passed. It doesn't get easier but you get stronger.
Damn. You have to understand both bands SO well to do this. Respect. Also “Sprinkle of Dirt” is a great band name…like a lite version of Puddle of Mudd.
AWESOME. Please do "change" by defstones in AIC style!!!
Awesome cover, as always! I can certainly hear traces of "Whale & Wasp", "Angry Chair" and "Right Turn" in there! Hearing this makes me wish AIC would record another "Sap/Jar of Flies"-style EP! 🤘
Yea, this style reminds me a lot of SAP 👌
Hi Steve

Pressed ''Like'' before the track was on. I do not regret this decision! 10/10
Haha. Yeah same here.
This sounds fkn legit
Even down to the drum fills, you've got the whole AiC vibe perfectly nailed.
Badass.
The guitar flare gives me big Whale and Wasp / Sea of Sorrow energy.
Man, you are a force of a nature! I´m very impressed!!!
Love the creativity and attention to detail on these. Your AiC/SG and SG/AiC songs are by far my favorite content. Two stellar bands with such unique characteristics. Amazing job once again.
You make me smile so hard when listening to every one of these cross-band songs you create. I would love to hear Burden in my Hand STP style!
The reduction of notes in the "oooooo" part is a perfect adaptation to the AIC style. Initially, I missed the complexity, but it was the right choice for this video.
I just found your channel tonight. This one made me shed a tear for both of the awesome frontmen. 😢
I desperately need to hear Layne sing this 🥺
Man, this just dropped me back in March 1994 after "Jar Of Flies" came out. This is so well done, you could almost imagine Layne, Kurt, and Ayrton Senna were all still with us.
Love it. Definitely sounds like a Jerry Cantrell song.
This is so bloody good. Absolutely love this soundgarden tune, would love to see Cantrell's and Thayll's reactions to these AIC and Soundgarden crossovers!
This is fucking rad. What an interesting idea, and such an excellent execution! Really did justice to Layne and Jerry’s harmonies and cadences. Love both bands; Fell on Black Days is a great song that is hard to imagine any other way and yet here it is powerful and intriguing in its very own right! Well done.
Your impressions are really good. Maybe you should do the 12 songs, 12 bands with the Alice in Chains self-titled
Despite all these hidden gems, it still sounds more Soundgardeny than Alice'y. Don't get me wrong: that's an awesome cover. It may be just another testament to Cornell's greatness that you can't rip him out of his own song :)
Fell on Black Days is the perfect song to be covered by Alice in Chains. You captured this song perfectly in AiC style.
This is exactly what the world needs right now. Thank you so much and please don't ever stop.
This is beautifully done Steve! The double vocals and Layne screams and way of his singing, the guitar riffs so AIC. I loved it! More please! Going to Spotify now.
Thanks so much Lily! There was an upload error so it should be live in a day or two!
@@stevewelsh__ Thanx. I'll be watching. 🙂
Oh hell's yeah! A cover I never knew I needed. Thanks
If only you could have hired Jerry to sing harmony with you, it would have been somewhat close.
I can't stop listening to this cover. I hope you record more Alice in Chains style Soundgarden songs, and vice versa.
I can NOT get enough of these
Steve, i'm stoked at your covered, you really have talent a deep understanding of these artrists and their little tricks and artists, always bangers!
Loved that the guitar solo was recognizable. Awesome cover!
These aic and soundgarden videos never disappoint me , great job!
This is so sick, u're a total master of ur art💗 This one sounded like it came from a combination of SAP and dirt 👌
This is badass man. You sound really natural and not forced. To me that’s worth listening to
This is beyond awesome! You really kill it with these AIC mashups!!
They should both be alive to enjoy the beauty and brilliance of this.
That's pretty good, I love it, Chris and Layne would have probably been proud of you 😊
Man, KUDOS TO THE BAND!!!🎉 Great re-reading!! simply A-WE-SOME!!
Brilliant my man!! Keep sharing your incredible talent with us all!
That was very fresh and pretty epic. Thanks for your time and effort in this.
Thanks Dude, brilliant performance, you made my day!
Fantastic work again!! ... and again and again!! Please don't ever stop. 👍🏻
This is literally the coolest thing I have ever heard on You Tube...Not a home run....a fuckin grand slam my friend. Blown away
Man you really do an amazing job on all your videos!
Man that is the sickest thing I've heard in a while. Masterfully done!
Well damn…that’s impressive musically as well production wise. 🔥
Fuck yeah! This is great! A wonderfully performed tribute to one of my grunge heroes/bands of all time. RIP Chris Cornell.
Awesome, dude, awesome. The guitar style, the vocals, really caught that AIC edge, and mood.
I felt like I'm listening to this song for the first time. Thank you for your work, great job..
Incredible man. Keep up the great work!
Pure Gold. Alice in Chains were criminally underrated, and it takes maturity in the listener to understand just how good they were. Superb job. It sounds like a B-side from Facelift.
My favorite song by my favorite band transformed thirty years later. Great stuff!
I'm obsessed with this!! I'm playin on repeat
Excellent!!!! Now you should switch it up and do AIC's I Stay Away by Soundgarden.
Idk he already did a full Soundgarden Would? cover (which isn’t on Spotify yet 😢) so I think he might not want to burnout on AiC-Soundgarden covers
@@IdontKnow-jt2oz Ahh, I missed that one. I will check it out.
lol that guitar bit at 0:46 is absolutely perfect AiC.
Funny, I used to put harmonies on that song singing in the car. Amazingly great vocals!! ❤
absolutely phenomenal as always!
I cant stop listening to this. This sounds so good
Dude youre the best. Now we need an AIC unplugged version of this.
Absolutely beautiful
You earned a life long fan just now
You did this so much justice
This is freaking amazing. Makes me want to cover this version of that song. Fukkin WOW!!
This is incredible! This would have honestly fit in nicely as track 14 on Dirt.
Wow, you absolutely crushed this one! 🔥Amazing job harmonizing and capturing Jerry's and Layne's vocals. Everything was spot on. Had to listen to it twice for all the nuances.
You got it down! Please keep making these videos!
That was tremendous - great job!!!
Very nice. The structure of the original song kind of makes this cover sound like something Jerry'd do for Boggy Depot.
this is now my favorite version of this song........Brilliant!! nailed the essence of A I C....
That’s freaking cool and I think you nailed it!
That was incredible, keep doing that bc Thats awesome
Wow my favorite soundgarden song in the rendition of AIC. I never knew I needed this 😍
I grew up on this music and just found this dude today and gotta say his covers are second to none never heard a better rock covers keep doing what your doing very very impressive
The subtleties make me tear up almost they’re so good. Amazing job!
impressive
and also appreciate for reminding me how awesome this song is!
Bro this is awesome. Made my whole day. ❤❤
Outstanding. In alternate universe Cantrell did write this.
Super underrated channel, great stuff!
