Good to see Kirk take time out of his scarecrow duties.
Brutal : )
Hahahahahahaha
This deserves way more thumbs up.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This made me laugh through my entire coffee making process. Thank you.
When he hits that “then” that is definitely Hetfield from the 90s
That note is the exact reason that I love this cover so much.
THENNNNNN-AHHH!!
Lol
True
Thats what I love about this
The real star of the video is kirk's hat
And Rob's 'stache, honestly.
your comment is the best part of the video
wonder if Kirk watches One Piece ?
@@PikkaBird Rob goin full José with the stache
Haaaa where is his cigar
It's the other versions of this song that make us realize how powerful Stanley's voice was
hetfields voice is not powerfull?
he murdered this song
@@cynthiamoney-powell3516 and not in a good way. I don't understand how people think Hetfield did such a great cover because, imo it's awful.
"Stanley"
@@loloholmes2793 for thrash metal vocalist like James, i'd say it's a decent cover.
Can't compare with Staley, Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder tho, they're on another level.
friends don't let friends
get friends haircuts
Dammit! You beat me to it.
They totally wasted the opportunity to write that on their guitars too!
Never understood that phrase
I guess it is because I'm not native english speaker
I thought it was:
"Friends don't let friends cut their hair"
I guess I was wrong
@@imstnn they were referring to the Friends tv series, when they cut their hair short on Load

What I love about hearing James sings songs like this is seeing all the vocal techniques he has to use to make it work. The guy was not a naturally gifted singer and has had to work his arse off for years to learn how to do it. It's great watching him put that knowledge and experience to work to overcome his short comings.
And he pretty much destroyed his voice during the black album tour with the amount and type of vocals he was pulling off back then, not to mention his indulgences.
@@brfam1977thats why he hired a vocal coach during and after the tour, results of which you can hear on load and reload, and then after st. anger
He’s a naturally gifted piece of trash, who only cares about himself. This is all about saving face. Lane Staley would’ve knocked him out if given the chance.
True not naturally gifted in some ways and yet in other ways the vocal talent of a century. He's a weird mix!
@@brfam1977 Was he the only one? I mean singers lose/change around 35-40 all over the place and have to learn to sing differently. Lizzy Hale went the same route.
At least, both gave amazing performance even though on the roag to destroying their chords in the process. And yet here he is singing at 60 and pretty damn good I might add.
People say how much better Staley was for this style but personally I don't hear such control or clean high notes ever in the live performance of would by alice in chains. I mean he had the perfect voice for those songs, not a perfect singer by any means.
Friends don't let friends only play half of an AIC song.
Though a very admirable performance, James knows not to even attempt what he won't be able to pull off (the end of the song).
@@gamiensrule i think James knocked this one out the park, and he definitely could have handled the end of this.
@@ltrev1979 I love James. And he's a great rock vocalist. No doubt. In my opinion I just don't think he's quite at Layne's level. But not many are.
But I respect your opinion. I'd definately love to hear him give it a shot.
More like friends shouldn't let less skilled friends play other great friend's songs.
great comment lol, i know exactly what you're referring to :)
rip layne
Legend has it that Kirk left Hogwarts during the “sorting ceremony” to make it to this performance...
I haven't listened to Metallica in years.
I can't believe James Hetfield can to this very day sing like that!
He sounds fucking great
It's amazing how good James sounds here. His voice is actually improving as he gets older and we're lucky to have Metallica in our lives! Loved Alice in Chains too.
Agreed, he's had the covid break to let his voice rest.
@@craigschaffer828 he quit drinking.....
He's always been a good singer, this style just isnt for Metallicas music.
@@storfarbrorn489 James is a passable and distinctive singer, I don’t think I’d categorize him as a good singer though. He’s a riff god though
Lol gimme a fuckinf break. Only people that think this sounds good are Metallica fan boys. RIP Layne, you could never be touched
"Yeah"
-James Hetfield
This made me smile lol🤘
P O E T I C
Yeahhhh
James' singing pretty damn impressive on this one. He hit a pretty high note for him in the "see it once my waaaaayaaayy" part.
He only was using 50% of his high voice in there
@@maxx.mazzeo if he went any higher it would purely be a falsetto, there wouldnt be any power behind it.
I felt like he was giving it his all and the others were half assing it lol.Still pissed about James making fun of Layne for his drug addiction back in the day.Made up for it to some degree taking the time to do this song
@@johncarlton4918still pissed about something that happened over 25 years ago 😂
James vocals man 👌🤘
How long has Kirk been quarantining??!🤣😂
Too Long apparently ! At least he's not wearing a face diaper.
I like how they had both electric and acoustic guitars. I think that is more of a tribute to Jerry's style than anything else in this. It's like if this song was released on Sap instead of Dirt.
Great comment
That is one of the best comments I've ever seen on the internet.
Im like whos on electric guitar for the solo? 😮
Tbh I think James is actually the closest. He’s the only one that has that distortion in his voice when singing this song. The others just don’t have that distortion in their voice. It’s too smooth. Well damn. Well Done James!
Have you listened to Phil Anselmo sing this
@@tomislavtodorovic4024 yes I thought it was awful lol.
Look up "if Soundgarden wrote would" it's pretty incredible
Actually was quite impressed with this. James sounds great. The arrangement is a bit different. It's a good cover.
Kirk: oh so i should wear the hat?
Lars: totally man, it makes you look badass.
Rob: giggling, yeah bro do it.
James: fuck the hat....
Kirk: I'm gonna wear the hat.
Everyone watching: wtf is kirk wearing?
🤣😆😂* dying *
@@jasminazenkovic4195 lol 😆
Props to James for adapting his voice over time to something more reasonable for his vocal chords to handle. Proof your singing doesn’t have to be “crazy”. It just has to sound good for the song it’s in.
I'm 50 years old and I have been listening to Metallica for 37 years and they just keep getting better and better. To me, this band is nothing short of perfect! The memories that I have with my friends listening to this band is without a doubt some of the greatest times in my life. I will listen to this band until the pass because they are apart of the days that matter most to me........everyday!
Same here.... Im 50, long time die hard since RTL. I remember when MOP was released. My buddy got the tape cassette and we read lyrics over and over again. I remember when Cliff passed away. Same buddy of mone told me the news. He read it in a rock mag shortly after the accident. There was a lot of heavy metal and glam rock back in the day.... and then there was Metallica. We were kids, man.... great times growing up with the band, still the same fan today.
This video is the proof that james is metallica... without this man, there is no metallica at all
Love how they put their own twist on the original, and I've never seen james with an acoustic, honestly disappointed it wasn't the whole song though
James' voice keeps getting better and better. They are paying their respects. Really Don't get the hate towards this awesome cover.
Me neither, but I was a bit bummed when they cut it off after the 2nd chorus. Nonetheless, I’m so happy to hear James still kicking ass.
Cause people have nothing better to do nowadays than bitch and moan on the internet. It’s really pathetic
James actually does nutshell really well he did it live with them I actually couldn't believe how good he did it they should have done that korn murdered this song they should have done nutshell
Korns version was awesome.
Lars ruins this...and james' voice is..meh
@@misterarcane3863 You are deaf if you think James' singing isn't great here. Literally, deaf.
I'd love an acoustic cover album like this from the boys.
Why?
@@danielbeotich1664 why not?
@@butchered_deathmetal Why me?
more metallica why not
I'd listen, but I don't think it would be all that great.
its great they covered this. I know its hard for james to hit those vocals but i have to give him all thats due bc he killed this. love u guys \m/ sounded great!
James is a great vocalist but this song is not really in his range tbh
Kirk's playing style is a fantastic imitation of AiC's here...and he didn't even use a wah! So perfect.
Got Damn James. You doing evolution backwards. You're supposed to be worse at singing, not better. METALLICA is the best band ever and I'm a huge early (68-72) Zeppelin fan.
Why do people need to say what other bands they like 😂 we get it, you're totally impartial and amazing 😂
Led Zeppelin ain’t shit compared to AIC and Metallica
@@grungemetalhd1668 no point comparing them, theyre all cool as fuck
One of the greatest songs ever written
What's everyone talking about? This was great. And it's a cover, it's ok to sound a bit different.
Exactly, we know the how the song sounds so it’s cool to see our favorite band play songs we love
@@mikeboat0191 i like how you say Favorite ,, i still work out to the first 4 albums from this band ,,, all the time ,, course throw in Inflames , Arch Enemy , Amon a ,,, lol cheers ,,, Killem All.
It's not that it sounds different. It's that they only played half the song.
@@timg2727 This.
Nice of Luffy to fill in for Kirk.
This comment is so underrated haha.
King of the pirates right there baby .
Amazing lol
Kirk and Shanks are just really good friends
LMAO!!!!!!!!!😂
What a beautiful voice James! Great version! Prost!
Gotta be honest, I didn't think James would manage the high notes but he did a great job.
Kirk should never be allowed in public without his goatee.
We all know that James's voice is the only one that can cover this song with dignity
This is awesome. Seeing Metallica cover this AiC classic with such respect, reverence & quality adds to the legacy of both bands. On another note... The missing element, a live event with an audience, is sad, though as a longtime fan of both bands to me it sounds excellent just the same. I think those of us who've seen lots of concerts in our lifetimes can't help but lament the way things are these days. Acknowledging it's possible that the simple things we took for granted, like concerts, may never happen again is beyond depressing.
RIP Layne, you are missed ! The voice of a decade for sure.
Cool cover. I like the the acoustic take. Korn's tribute with this song is awesome too.
2:19 from this point James somehow changed his voice to what it was before st anger
That's awesome. Really! I'm sure there's an even deeper connection for Metallica than most of us realize, too.
Yeah, maybe Hatfield feels guilty for mocking Layne to an entire concert crowd and mimicking Layne shooting up saying "I cant tour " or whatever. If not he should. He isn't worthy of singing Layne's song.
ruclips.net/video/uWYnSEZKcVw/видео.htmlsi=J688ymyoy5k4mAie
James voice is crazy good for his age, like fine wine
Did Kirk just come back from harvesting pineapples in is backyard in Hawaii? Or is he trying to mimic the Scarecrow from Wizard of Oz?😁😁😂
Kirk
@@Fizban1234 that is right I didn't do the spell check but it's still his name thanks for the update
@@Fizban1234 there I fixed it thank you be safe
For those that dump on this... it's not easy for James. Layne has his unique voice. Completely different style. Plus it's accoustic. Metallica are huge aic fans. Love it
0:56 Lars has the invisible hand hitting the hi hat
Know me broken by my master
Teach thee on child, love hereafter
Into the flood again
Same old trip it was back then
So I made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way
Drifting body, it's sole desertion
Flying, not yet quite the notion
Into the flood again
Same old trip it was back then
So I made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way
Ironic because there's footage of them dissing AIC. Lars actually pantomime shooting up and OD-ing
I absolutely love Metallica and Alice In Chains, but it’s ironic to see Metallica do a cover of an Alice In Chains song considering that they were the ones who made fun of Layne and his heroin addiction
Yeah it was a dick move and I'm sure James would cop to that. Not an excuse but he it was during Metallica's low when James was drunk during the black album tour.
I love both bands too, but perhaps you don't know that Metallica was in the audience when Alice in Chains performed their Mtv unplugged concert AFTER they had made fun of him. That's why Mike Inez had put on his bass "Friend don't let friend get haircuts". I think they buried the hatchet long ago. Also, Metallica's current bassist played bass on Jerry Cantrell's solo album. See Anger Rising, etc.
@@madarab37 Roberto Agustín Miguel Santiago Trujillo Veracruz really has quite a resumé. 🦀
Just goes to show you music can transcend boundaries and break down barriers like that and make people come together.
@@madarab37 Thank you for sharing this info, I was unaware this happened. I just recently became a fan of Alice in Chains and was told by someone to "get over it" because I stated it was disrespectful and cruel of METALLICA to mock someone's addiction. 🤔🤨
I love Metallica and Alice In Chains. They did a great job with this.
First time watching James struggling to sing😂
My favorite band being covered by my other favorite band. What a beautiful time to be alive my friends.
He's singing so high, wow
James Hetfield just sings high because his voice is gone from years of steroid rage and alcohol
That's a cover, not a copy! HUUUGE difference!
Yes, but wasn't a good one.
I first was listening to Rock and Hard rock and Alice in chains was one of my favorite bands and hearing and seeing Metallica cover one of those songs made me happy.
James Hetfield put his soul in this one. Very beautiful and kickass. The whole group, everyone made this a great tribute. You can hear everyones part clearly and distinct. Thanks 🔥👍👍
The distortion James added to his voice in the chorus almost sounded like his 90's self... wish he was still young enough to incorporate that type of singing more regularly than he does nowadays
Good job Lars! Though now I realize how awesome Sean Kinney really is when it comes to drums.
the guys of Metallica were fans of AIC since its inception
James used to openly mock Layne about his substance issues.James is not long out of rehab,fuckin hypocritical
@@gongil1974 dude that happened around '94 and you're literally comparing 31 year old James with 39/56 year old James. Grow up, people change for the better.
@@gongil1974 USED TO being the key word. Back when James himself was a drunk 99.9% of his life. They were cool, don't forget AIC unplugged. Metallica sat front row at that show. Go listen to the Lars/Jerry Cantrell interview from a year or two ago. I'm not sure the reason why James did that bullshit back in the early early early 90's but he was also a piece of shit drunk at the time.
@@waxoftriple9 Possibly deflection.
@@maiden6083 dude watch the Unplugged video for Sludge Factory. You can hear James mocking Layne
Love this 🔥🔥, James’s voice is amazing 🤘
Need to make this Alice In Chains Tribute into a cd and sell it so all benefits go to charity. This along with all other artists would make a great cd. “WOW METALLICA 2020”
Great idea.. I'd definitely buy it!! 💯
This was impressive and I like how after 40 years James still has some chops
Would love to hear them do "I Stay Away" also
That ain’t happening lol
Hetfield will never be able to sing like Staley.
I'm glad James fixed his attitude in rehab. I guess he can see it Layne's way now. Far cry from the James that made fun of Layne and got stuff thrown at him. Kudos for growing up, dude.
Where's the bass intro? :(
I'm surprised Trujillo was even on camera lol
Metallica allowing a bass to take front and center? I've heard they've been SUPER open to that notion throughout their career.....? #LMMFAO
He started late, I guess it was an impromptu but you can hear it after 30 seconds in and it sounds great
@@SebastianRamirez-sm7zp that's why there should've been an intro
Seeing Kirk in that hat is FAF! 😂.I watched these guys in 87 live during Master of Puppets tour at Monsters of rock and they’ve came a long way.Funny thing is decades later my teenage son loves their music and that proves “TRUE MUSICIANS,” still exists.
Great job, but without the bridge and outro, what’s the point? There’s no resolution.
Lars arranged it. He was just happy to end at the same time as the others..
I remember seeing these guys make fun of layne for his heroin addiction on stage when he pulled out of the tour with them. Glad they’ve come back around to pay respects.
Why didn't Kirk hammett just play the solo with the fender telesonice
OMG. My favourite band since I discovered them in 1985 when I was 8, covering my second favourite band that I discovered in 1994 when I was 16.
In 2021. When I actually found this vid.
God Bless me and my bands and the interwebs.
0:11 what happens when your 4 yr old sister gives you a haircut.
That was... effin powerful
Weren't these the same guys that poked fun at Staley tho?
They poked fun at each other, an aspect of human interaction people with friends are familiar with
Layne and James weren't friends. And you don't cross the line to 'joke' someone's addiction.
Very good James, the vocals inflections, perfects
Highest notes ive ever heard james hit, beautifully done too.
any scream from killem all is higher than this one. he reaches e5 and around
@@onurfuck screaming when your 20 isn't quite the same as singing clean notes when youre 60.
Fair point though.
comments section mad lets just appreciate both bands… they did good on the cover and RIP Layne the best to ever do it
Do you even know what metallica did? They mocked AIC on stage and made fun of Staley’s addiction and now they are covering their songs like that never happened
@@TheRealSandorCleganeyeah that was fucked up but they became friends… they went to their unplugged performance
2:39 i love that smile ♡
Nice to see James honor Layne after making fun of his addiction to a live audience in concert while Layne was in mid spiral years ago. Honor restored.
enamorada de éste tema!!! el mejor cover!!
I like that they gave they gave the song a different style, good instrumental!
James voice is on fire 🔥
I saw Alice in Chains on the Clash of the Titans tour in 1991. The three co-headliners were Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth, three of the Big Four of thrash metal. AiC was fairly heavy and hard, but they weren't exactly thrash, and the crowds were not exactly sure what to think of them. (That may be putting it mildly).
When "Would" came out, though, it was in heavy rotation on the local hard rock radio station, and the frantic, despairing sound really resonated with me as I was dealing with a turbulent (and ill-advised) relationship.
Now, more than two decades later, the biggest of the Big Four have given us this superb rendition of "Would" and thus proven that Alice in Chains really was metal all along. 😉
Layne sang this song better while dying slowly on heroin and crack cocaine.
Amazing performance by James but I'm so in need of the final bridge!!! I need to hear James scream those last five words at the end...
who is playing the hi-hat after 0:50?
I wondered this myself. That high hat played the entire song even when Lars wasn’t hitting it
Don’t you know Lars has telekinetic powers?
@@peezrycethe sound must have come out of Kirk’s high hat
love lars' drumming in this one.... pity they didn't do the whole song
awesome song, great cover. impressed by Hetfield's vocals here! just too short. hope they cover this electric too.
Whoa James impressed me here. Good singing
This is EXACTLY what I expected.
If you expected it to be terrible, then you and I expected the same thing.
Can't stop watching this...❤
Cryin' my eyes out...
James using falsetto, albeit briefly. He is really, really practicing his singing.
I was scrolling and saw your comment just as he went there, hahaha. For sure you can tell!
😅
The voice of James is amazing he chances the usual tone and was great! Good performance pandemic show us our Best hiden side
Why so short? Did they run out of Battery?? xd
This make my tuesday great!! Thanks Metallica!! For this great cover!!!
Loving Kirk’s hat! 😂🤣🤣
Why doesnt he sing like this all the time? Way more soulful
not great, not terrible... but who cares, I like it... different is good!
Was looking for who did the solo but was met with “We would like to protect the identity of this guitarist” editing
James' voice is so good, even in those high notes
Yes guys Alice in chains does not be forgotten. Thanks
Where's the ending part?! For me it's the main element of the song...
-"How great are you..?"
-"Well......Metallica is playing our song"
Great Version. Really makes you appreciate how good Layne really was
The shittiest versión EVER Shittallica sucks
Great job dudes. I really like it. " YEAH, YEAH OOOOAAAH!!!!" ❤🤟🤟🤟😉
