      Sean can carry a groove like no one else. Super well rounded and plays what’s good and best for the song. Nothing flashy or over the top, I don’t think anyone would argue that he’s one of the best drummers to come out of the 90’s. Hands down.

      I agree. I see a fair share of comments like this, he stays in the fucking pocket and grooves while pounding the fuck out of each hit. I personally find some of his work hard to hit, especially since i use two pedals. He uses his since kick with tom fills very uniquely.

      *****First you extend your range through classical technique, keeping an open throat and low larynx. Then you lift your upper lip in a sneer and squeeze your throat together to create the distortion. Singing that high, loud, and full is the hard part. Once you have range, you can distort it easily. It's just an overlay on top of the crazy loud resonance that you have worked for a long time to condition. Distortion can be had overnight. Building range can take years...

      iviatty You won't sound exactly like him if your voices aren't already very similar. But you will have your own sound, and your own tone of distortion. The best way to learn about that is to imitate the "witchy" or pharyngeal voice.

    I always come back to this particular live version because that last backkkkk for the last chorus is the greatest thing I’ve ever heard vocally. Rip Layne, you were the greatest of all time.

    It’s just so heartwarming to me that regardless of which song, any AiC song’s comments section looks like this one - just filled with respect and great admiration for the band. Does anyone ever have anything bad to say about AiC? I have yet to see. So apparentaly I (and you guys) must have great taste in music, seeing as they are my favorite band of all time.

    2:42 The thing i love about Layne more than that power house voice is that he wasnt afraid to modify the vocal runs. Some of his live modifications are better than the studio versions. Thats ultimate trust in your vocal control and when he was younger he was supreme at doing it, before the drugs really got hold.

    This is THE BEST version of this song I can find...Layne's vocals are spot-on! It's just crazy the difference in Layne between this and the whole Unplugged set...very sad :(

  • @risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302
    @risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302 11 месяцев назад +3

    Love the way Starr's baseline just drives the song along, while Cantrell's guitar just accentuates said bass line with his playing... not too much, but just enough to be top tier music writing. Then the whole song has got Sean's impeccable drumming as the backbone, with Layne and Jerry doing their back and forth singing, Layne crushing the lead vocals. This band was truly remarkable... always has been one of my favorites, since the cool days of mtv when they'd play actual music videos, instead of utter *CRAP.*
