Just came across this Band I gotta say I'm pretty blown away myself Dude I'm absolutely Hardcore Alice In Chains fan This vocalist is Layne Staley little brother
Holy shit... how can someone sound so much like Layne? This vocalist has it all: the power, the rasp, the snarl, the emotionally charged cries. He even has the same timbre. So good!
Brendan's voice is even more amazing when you stop and realize he is carrying the majority of the AIC sound himself and KILLING IT!! Layne always had the biggest voice in AIC, but Jerry Cantrell's voice also made up a huge part of their sound. Brendan is basically doing both Layne AND Jerry's voice! This just dawned on me yesterday and I was like wowwww. Can you imagine both Brendan AND Jerry singing together on stage?? OMG.
What a dumb comment. Go watch any performance of this song with Layne-all the belting vocals are purely Layne. Jerry is usually off headbanging and playing guitar in those parts.
Never thought I’d ever say this... but that young man has truly channeled Layne Staley voice and power in a way that’s never ever been done nor did I ever think would ever be done. Damn..... he needs to fronting for AIC
Man I got some chills at 4:40. Holy shit the vocals chords on this guy is outrageous. By far and away the best cover of any AiC I've heard including the current singer AiC has now.
RUclips switch to this while I'm brushing my teeth, just knowing it's an alice in chains song, but not knowing it wasn't layne and the band who are playing... Later when I grabbed my phone after finishing toothbrush, I was stunned. Kid got some raspy pipes.
So Layne was my buddy. We all miss him dearly and because of that I've never been into tribute bands... But THIS kid, holy s*!+ man, it's giving me goosebumps. I think Layne would be proud. Thanks for this upload.
@@muhammad608 This isn't a competition. Also saying who is better is very subjective. Why would you comment that? There is literally no reason to. The initial upload literally just praised the performance, why is any of what you said relevant?
@@stefanos7724 Are you saying that a mumble rapper like lil pump is better than Freddie Mercury in singing.if all music and singing is subjective, then why do critics and fans rank singers? so basically your saying that there is no good of bad singers, everyone is equal.
@@muhammad608 No, but when it comes to comparing talented singers such as the ones you are suggesting it is. You cant have a fully objective view. What youre saying is dumb because all the critics and fans you mentioned have different rankings, proving the subjectivity of the matter. Additionally, you did not answer my main point. You have come here replying to all the good comments congratulating the singer by diggin layne down. It is completely unrelated to all the comments and has no reason to be here. Go post that somewhere where said singers are discussed, not on every random comment
Damn. I'm Impressed with this bro. You nailed it. The drummer needs his volume turned down a little bit, but he nailed it too. The guitarist was perfect, the bass was perfect, The whole band was spot on.
Same here...just saying the same as you I normally hate " cover/ tribute' bands..only one ?I ever liked was that Mexican Elvis who sang Led Zeppelin songs in the 90' s called Dread Zeppelin lol
I don't understand all the negativity and hate towards them, they are a tribute band, they wanna sound like AIC and to be honest, this is by far the best "identical cover" i've heard. Layne is forever missed ♥
I only discovered this guy today... howcome I missed it for so long? I am a Layne devoted fan and... this kid is just mindblowing. If one closes his eyes... apart from some minor details... it could be Layne. Just amazed. I can´t still believe it´s not Layne singing.... speechless
This kid is awesome, only other person I’ve heard come that close to Layne’s timbre, grit and power is Rob Lundgren, Swedish guy that sings covers on you tube. Wow that is special!
What I ment is that he is not, in my opinion, doing the song justice, he plays good and right but he adds too much stuff that don't really fit in or belong in this song. This song is a song with the main focus on the vocals and lyrics, and with this drummer blasting out fills every other second it takes the focus away from that. He seems to be a good drummer though, it's just that I have so high thoughts on the original version of this song that I want the song to be just left alone and as it is and keep Laynes legacy.
Woooaaahh, I’m dumbfounded completely, this is the first & only time anyone has nailed a *Layne Staley* song ever, he is the only one who has even came close to it too, WELL DONE DUDE, STAY COOL,ROCK ON, FOREVER GRUNGE ROCK! 💋🤍🪽🤘🏻✌🏻💋
Yes! This is not easy no one has ever tried either. And this guy blows not only this out of the water but ends of making the best cover EVER.. with LHL.
My goodness... I'm just shooked!!! Hauntingly beautiful. Closest I've EVER heard to Layne... If you ever make your way to Detroit, i'd be honored to see you guys.
holy shit. i’m halfway through the first chorus and you are one of the only people i’ve ever seen in my life that actually can hold a candle to Laynes performance. you are absolutely amazing, good job.
I'm getting serious chills. He needs to be singing WITH AIC... I've never heard anyone with chops anywhere in Layne's level. I don't hear anything wrong here at all... Through the rabbit hole and reading comments, Thunderhead289 brought me here.
I love to check in periodically to read the new comments from people just discovering Brendan Maier of Facelift (and Chout!) for the first time! Good stuff!!! ;)
What an elegant tribute. Thank you. Best to y'all in all that you do. I'll keep an eye out in case there is a chance to catch you live, maybe here in New Orleans. Listening to dear Layne as therapy, I blundered into watching Scorned Psychosis. Serious talent.Seems I just missed you. Lived in Chicago for 19 yrs and only 2 yrs ago moved back home to NOLA. I'll be visiting Chi again. My son and granddaughter live there. btw, I'm sixty something and will always love great music. There are plenty more like me. Maybe y'all could play Tipitina's, and offer a senior discount! LOL Keep doing what you enjoy and sharing. It's appreciated.
The whole band is on point. Vocals are out of the roof but I have to agree ... the drummer either speeds it up and then slows it down not in a good way. He really needs to focus and stop clowning around.
When I first switched from drums to vocals (ironically the same thing Layne did years ago) I was such a huge enamored fan of AIC that bands would not accept me after an audition because I "sound too much like Layne for an original band.". I even named my kid after him. But all that said, I bow to the master now...holy hell!! You are THE closest representation I have ever heard to the original tracks!! Amazing!!!
awesome job.. i ve been a big AIC fan for years and that is the best cover ever ! i am a decent vocalist myself and i know how hard those songs are to sing - but i couldnt sing it like that ... perfection .. you guys are great
It’s sad , but this kid needs some X-Factor or The Voice to be recognized like Jeff Gould did , and now we have STP again kicking asses. This is so awsome!!
To be honest , i am surprised to know that such a voice is exist ! İt is nearly impossible to hit these notes like layne ! This young man is great but he was born in wrong era ! As a one of the best poet ever walked on Earth ! it would be a honor to write some legendary songs for this kid !
Damn. I am a hardcore Layne Staley fan from the 90's. This is the FIRST time I have been blown away by an AIC cover.
#respect
ya for real bro. me too, and im blown away as well. never thought i would here someone as good as this kid. much props
Me to man, never really expect anyone to sound like Layne and especially on one of the harder tracks
Try new band -chout plz
Just came across this Band I gotta say I'm pretty blown away myself Dude I'm absolutely Hardcore Alice In Chains fan This vocalist is Layne Staley little brother
Check out my cover of Down in a Hole, where I did recorded the entire thing in my living room (all instruments, all 32 vocals).
Dude just channeling the spirit of Layne into himself when he sings like it’s nothing
Holy shit... how can someone sound so much like Layne? This vocalist has it all: the power, the rasp, the snarl, the emotionally charged cries. He even has the same timbre. So good!
AMEN!! He also has a new original band called CHOUT. #ChoutBand
Whats timbre?
@@5hitwind5 sound/tone
Holy shit is right! Fucking awesome..my god
Layne has inspirited this young man!
This is the definition of "nailing it". . . Layne would be proud I'm sure.
Brendan's voice is even more amazing when you stop and realize he is carrying the majority of the AIC sound himself and KILLING IT!! Layne always had the biggest voice in AIC, but Jerry Cantrell's voice also made up a huge part of their sound. Brendan is basically doing both Layne AND Jerry's voice!

Donna only layne sings in love hate love. Idiot.
Gsfbffx Pdhhdf lol except when jerry does the harmonies, idiot
@@jacobjablonski4294 Thank you!!
💯💯💯
What a dumb comment. Go watch any performance of this song with Layne-all the belting vocals are purely Layne. Jerry is usually off headbanging and playing guitar in those parts.
That has to be the closest one could get to sounding like Layne, Incredible.
agree 100%
Check out Skorned ,but this guy's on point!!
@@brentprobizanski7029 same guy in skorned names brendan maier. His current band is chout.
Dimash the Legend defeats Layne, Mike Patton, Rob Halford, Dio, Bruce Dickinson & Freddie Mercury.
@@muhammad608 does that explain why nobody has ever heard of him?
It takes a lot of balls to cover AIC live, especially a song like this. Great performance.
Especially to nail the song exactly, Fuckin’ amazing!!
For real❤🙏🎸
Never thought I’d ever say this... but that young man has truly channeled Layne Staley voice and power in a way that’s never ever been done nor did I ever think would ever be done. Damn..... he needs to fronting for AIC
Yeah they need to send these videos to Jerry Cantrell! AIC will be reborn! 🔥🤘🎸❤️🎤
Man I got some chills at 4:40. Holy shit the vocals chords on this guy is outrageous. By far and away the best cover of any AiC I've heard including the current singer AiC has now.
That was fucking amazing... never thought I'd hear a voice remotely close to Layne's. Thank you dude.

Oh my god.. his voice.. I wish I could go at least once to their concert
4:45 i was in complete awe 😳 like he did it so effortlessly.
As an XXL Alice In Chains fan I will only say this: I am BLOWN AWAY
Oh. My. God.... Laynes voice is alive!!!! Well done sir. Man I feel like Jerry should have you fill in with them.. literally sounds 100% spot on
Damn. I'm Impressed with this bro.
You nailed it. The drummer needs his volume turned down a little bit, but he nailed it too. The guitarist was perfect, the bass was perfect, The whole band was spot on.
Thanks, I did hit a sour note during the solo though, lol.
I want this guy to be the next AIC Singer.
Yesssss
Same here...just saying the same as you I normally hate " cover/ tribute' bands..only one ?I ever liked was that Mexican Elvis who sang Led Zeppelin
songs in the 90' s called Dread Zeppelin lol
YES!!!!!! They should definitely hear about this guy!!
ABSOFUCKILUTELY
He should be
Dude you sound so much like Layne it's scary
yeah he is fucking awesome but listened to this ruclips.net/video/5I1WTcS21EU/видео.html
@@kiwimonkeyos Isn't that the same guy tho? They look very similar.
Go check out his old bands Skorned and Chout. Chout is still active he just left though
It’s very good but no one will ever be able to top lane, he had an original voice and it had more warmth and power than most ppl could ever imagine
hey, check this guys out, Black Circle. it's scary too.
I'd love to see these guys, and I wanna hear him sing some mad season!
YES!!! That's what I said too!!!
Truly amazing...no one has even comes close to sounding like Layne...but you. Much respect.
If ever the vocalist make it big, please don't let him anywhere near needles. Seriously please.
No shit
I don't understand all the negativity and hate towards them, they are a tribute band, they wanna sound like AIC and to be honest, this is by far the best "identical cover" i've heard. Layne is forever missed ♥

Not sure anyone commented but Jerry Cantrell should definetely hire the vocalist. This is the best cover I've ever heard. Kudos
Un-fucking-believable. I too would never, ever say it either. Perfect Layne singing, in every single way it can be. Much respect to this youngster.
this is him,this is the dude who did not disappoint on the vocals, holy shit...
I'm a HUGE Layne Staley fan..and wow. Just WOW. It's almost eerie how much he sounds like him. Awesome job!! ♥️
Love Hate Love is probably the most underrated song ever. If more people knew about it, they would be amazed and have no choice but to love AIC
Jesus Christ this guy is the only guy who comes close. And not even just close. He’s within centimetres of layne. Fucking perfect t cover in every way
This kid is awesome, only other person I’ve heard come that close to Layne’s timbre, grit and power is Rob Lundgren, Swedish guy that sings covers on you tube.
Wow that is special!
holy...fucking...shit...someone finally pulled it off. The BEST AiC cover band I've ever seen
the best AIC Love,Hate,Love live performance cover Ever..
Nice job on the vocals. Big AIC fan and have never heard anyone come close to sounding like Layne.
AMAZING...Layne Staley would be jealous. This is without a doubt, the best Alice in Chains tribute!! Well done gentlemen...
@@scout27xx ikr
Drummer is having a little too much fun I think!
I dont believe theres any other way but to have fun... been at it for over 45 years now.. id say " Fuck Yeah , im having fun, ALWAYS!"
What I ment is that he is not, in my opinion, doing the song justice, he plays good and right but he adds too much stuff that don't really fit in or belong in this song. This song is a song with the main focus on the vocals and lyrics, and with this drummer blasting out fills every other second it takes the focus away from that. He seems to be a good drummer though, it's just that I have so high thoughts on the original version of this song that I want the song to be just left alone and as it is and keep Laynes legacy.
He's not vibing like the rest of the band is. He's paying tribute to his playing more than he is to the song.
Drummer is paying little attention to the vibe or feeling of the song
And there's like 6 ppl in the crowd..is this a sound check? Lol
Hand down, man the vocalist nailed it. That’s a mind blowing performance !! I can’t believe what I’m hearing !!!
Woooaaahh, I’m dumbfounded completely, this is the first & only time anyone has nailed a *Layne Staley* song ever, he is the only one who has even came close to it too, WELL DONE DUDE, STAY COOL,ROCK ON, FOREVER GRUNGE ROCK! 💋🤍🪽🤘🏻✌🏻💋
This guy has Layne's soul. Jerry have to know him. This cover of LHL is the best cover that I've ever heard
Yes! This is not easy no one has ever tried either. And this guy blows not only this out of the water but ends of making the best cover EVER.. with LHL.
This guy should be well known rock singer now. Best vocals I’ve heard in the last 10 years. Just proves the music industry is rigged. It’s tragic.
This guy brings the soul of AIC songs back, unlike the weak/mediocre singer they now have...
When I close my eyes, I hear Layne. Thank you guy for your voice!!!!
Top marks. I'd pay to see this live.
Best voice cover of Layne Staley I have ever heard thank you for sharing this beautiful music and God bless you abundantly
The closest anyone has ever came to sounding as good as Layne.
YES
Dimash the Legend defeats Layne, Mike Patton, Rob Halford, Dio, Bruce Dickinson & Freddie Mercury.
Different proposals, dimash doesn't have the distortion that Layne had.@@muhammad608
Had a great time filming. These guys are amazing.
Calling Jerry Cantrell, attention Jerry Cantrell -- here's your frontman!
Blown away. damn
thats the only voice ive heard that comes close to the Great Layne Staley on this song ! nice job facelift
Good god. The singer is amazing! Someone resurrected layne’s voice. Incredible
This guy's playing talent cards in a laser flushing hearts
Wow I was expecting failure but I almost thought I was listening to Layne! Incredible how he captures him. Would love to hear more covers.
My goodness... I'm just shooked!!! Hauntingly beautiful. Closest I've EVER heard to Layne... If you ever make your way to Detroit, i'd be honored to see you guys.
holy shit. i’m halfway through the first chorus and you are one of the only people i’ve ever seen in my life that actually can hold a candle to Laynes performance. you are absolutely amazing, good job.
The best cover of "Love Hate Love" I've ever heard. Amazing
This band deserves an world tour. Awesome.
I'm Speechless. Closes to Layne's voice on this song that I've heard yet.
I'm getting serious chills. He needs to be singing WITH AIC... I've never heard anyone with chops anywhere in Layne's level. I don't hear anything wrong here at all... Through the rabbit hole and reading comments, Thunderhead289 brought me here.
This is wicked!!!! Can’t wait to watch you in Seattle again! Come back!!
I love to check in periodically to read the new comments from people just discovering Brendan Maier of Facelift (and Chout!) for the first time! Good stuff!!! ;)
Damn right Paula!! ❤😎❤
Going to see them in two weeks...can’t wait
@Donna, thanks! I had NO idea and am a huge older AIC fan! This dude is extraordinary!!!! Omg
Damn. I wish ya'll had a bigger crowd there. You guys did fantastic!
these dudes wouldn't ever have to pay for a beer if they played in my bar! radical!

AWESOME VOCALS!!
Never thought someone could cover that, without sounding weird, you sound spot on, amazing, pure talent to the whole band!
Omg! Did my dream / wish really come true? Another blessed with a voice and vocals w the likes of Layne Staley!!??!! I AM STUNNED!! LOVED IT!!👊💕💞👊🎶🎶
now hopefully this kid gets recognized and takes the opportunity and runs all the way to retirement with it instead of possibly drinking or drugging
Incredible cover.. my favorite artist and my favorite song. Nailed it!!
Maaaaaaaaaan. My respect. Amazing job, Layne would be proud.
DUDE! Best cover I've seen of AIC. LOVE the vocals!
4:44 That is just eerie...
Sick vocals. Nailed it
Mind blowing vocals. Never thought I'd see someone channeling Lainey like that. Respect. Now please say to your drummer to calm the fuck down...
The whole band is on point. Vocals are out of the roof but I have to agree ... the drummer either speeds it up and then slows it down not in a good way. He really needs to focus and stop clowning around.
Brilliant! Perfection on Layne's voice i want more. Love it! Also mindful that i miss layne. Excellent beyond asmazin!!!!
I started to wonder how such a big voice could come from such a little man. But then I remembered Layne.
O

G....... So cool. Got another fan here.

well god damn it dude. killer vocals, amazing cover, and totally blown away.
Wow, that's my favourite song, and I can say it's great!
awesome job.. i ve been a big AIC fan for years and that is the best cover ever ! i am a decent vocalist myself and i know how hard those songs are to sing - but i couldnt sing it like that ... perfection .. you guys are great
If i heard this song on the radio, i'd have thought it was layne.
Kyle Ross Then you need to listen more to Alice in Chains to learn the difference.
Damn chill! ^
No but seriously this particular cover of this song is gnarly
Holy shit! Best interpretation of Layne i've heard to date. Very nice indeed!
Closest match to Layne's voice, amazing voice👏
It’s sad , but this kid needs some X-Factor or The Voice to be recognized like Jeff Gould did , and now we have STP again kicking asses. This is so awsome!!
SO amazing! I can listen all day!
This kid can fucking wail. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Best AIC song ever, hands down.
This cover of AIC blew me away!! Insane!!!
Wow. Blown away by this cover!
damn, got goosebumps when he started singing
To be honest , i am surprised to know that such a voice is exist !
İt is nearly impossible to hit these notes like layne ! This young man is great but he was born in wrong era ! As a one of the best poet ever walked on Earth ! it would be a honor to write some legendary songs for this kid !
It takes a lot of Balls and a great range and voice to pull this off. This is perfect.
Moment of truth started at 4:30. God damn! Killed it!
Great cover of my favorite band
oh my God. you have a godlike heaven sent Layne's lookalike voice.
How can someone sound so much like layne Staley? Amazing!!!
Wow. I can't stop listening to this
Holy fucking shit man, I'm pretty sure you're the reincarnation of Layne, keep it up the good job, cheers from Brazil!
Wow pretty fucken good. I wish I could hear the guitar more but this is the best aic cover I’ve ever even come close to hearing
In fact aic should shit can the current singer and take this kid with them
Thank you for this cover
Absolutely amazing.
This is SO impressive! What a great nod to Layne Staley!
