when people say "it's not as good as layne" what did you expect, the man to be possessed by the spirit of layne and suddenly layne's voice pops out of his throat? it's a cover song. get over it.
Layne was unlike anybody else so what do people expect? A cover should never sound the same as the original. What would be the point? Bearing in mind he also just randomly did this in a sound check.
Love how the guy shouts out "Nutshell" and the guy recording just laughs.. "haha, nutshell" like he would never play it and corey instantly starts playing nutshell. ;D
Love the part at :35 where they cameraman laughs at "Nutshell", right before he actually performs it. Very cool. Bet he was NOT expecting that to happen.
This song is one of the most soul crushing painful songs ever written.....if u’ve ever had a substance problem, or have been in some really dark places, this song is 💯 relatable
For the negative comments... This is just a sound check, people! Don´t be so hard on the guy... It´s true that those are not the exact chords and guitar strumming; and he missed the lyrics in some places, etc. But I believe the point was not making a perfect cover, he was just warming up for a show and pleasing the people who where there with something unusual for them. Considering Corey Taylor is a great singer, I have no doubts that If he rehearses this properly and plays it live in a real show; then it would sound perfect.
He def has another version of nutshell that he played acoustic and sounds pretty good. No one will touch Aaron lewis' cover. That dude can sing anything. He even makes country bad ass by singing what hurts the most. He def does a bad ass cover of nutshell. Sounds almost as good as layne.
there seems to always be assholes on every video lol fuck em' I love this and Corey is awesome...hell no1s Layne but Corey is epic in his own and does a brilliant job
Jorge Roberto He couldn't do corey's songs. Lane couldn't do corey's heavy songs or even a lot of his softer songs because they have complete different voices. Layne's voice was perfect for grunge, but Corey Taylors voice works for almost anything he was born with a gift.
God damn this hits me in the heart, I’ve watched this vid probably 10 times, people really don’t know how great Layne was and how great Corey is!...and then he plays Ray!, hope this audience knows what that saw at a sound check
Exactly... Imagine all these idiots saying "he's not Layne"... Yea just take a guitar and do it better dumbasses. It was a soundcheck and man, do you guys even know the chords for nutshell? can u guys play it? he paid some respect to AIC and Layne by doing this. He knew it was being recorded that's for sure.
For all the people comparing this to Aaron Lewis, Aaron's recording was a professional studio quality acoustic mix. This is live, on a shitty PA, recorded through a cell phone. Lower your expectations. He was probably smoking a joint. ;)
We chase misprinted lies We face the path of time And yet I fight, and yet I fight This battle all alone No one to cry to No place to call home My gift of self is raped My privacy is raked And yet I find, yet I find Repeating in my head If I can't be my own I'd feel better dead
Everyone is missing the point. This is NOT a cover, and Corey didn't even perform the whole song. If u listen to what everyone is saying in the video u hear Corey mentioning it's just a SOUND CHECK.
@@joshuabaerga4806 the whole point of a cover is that it is your own interpretation of a song. Sounding exactly the same as a song is just boring, putting your own spin on it is the whole point. Corey's voice in this was extremely good for a soundcheck.
Corey Taylor, you will never know how much of all y'all your songs from Slipknot to stone sour . Your songs have kept me going in life and I just want to say thank you for everything you do. Your a miracle and a saving grace to me.
I LOVE when someone takes a song and makes it their own but does not change the feeling!!! That's when you know they respect the original artist and intent. He nailed it.
I LOVE these videos of people randomly shouting out nutshell and the artist just plays it. They never hesitate,. All respectable rock or metal artists just know this song..and its so awesome.. because it really deserves to be so recpected. A fantastic song by AIC.
The Ginz Tell me about it. The other day I was at the bar and someone played this song on the Juke and for the entire length of the song I was completely phased out
Thank you Brandon Chase for this great live track! We need to see more of these intimate up close & personal performances of great performers doing covers of even bigger Rock classics!
Corey with a cold still sounds better than any other vocalist alive so when he's healthy nobody comes close to having the type if raw vocal skills that the legendary Corey Taylor has, he's a flawless singer.
I often wonder what Layne would think of all the many ways and levels of absolute adoration he and his amazing voice have garnered over these many years. Shock? Surprise? Revulsion? "Whatevs"?
Indeed. I love it when the rare gem comes out and sounds remotely like Layne, because it's nearly impossible, but I also really love it when people nail it with their own style
top 5 fav song of all time. Corey you are amazing,i love every cover,colab,all of it.i have seen you perform with slipknot twice,only concert i have been to that could come even close...1989 metallica and justice for all. Daytona Beach fla. fan forever a maggot. are you gonna be near south carolina in the near future?I wont miss the show.
For gods sake, yeah, there is one and only Layne. and it was Layne's song, no one can top that. Corey is doing his version, and making it own. Get over, it.
Cory Taylor has one of the best voices in music. Highs and lows, the guy hits them all. I'm sorry for those of you who cannot hear this...You must be tone deaf.
"I'm not taking requests."
"Nutshell!!!"
"I'm taking requests."
Nutshell is THAT song
Corey:what should I play
Guy in audience: nutshell
Corey: *instantly starts playing*
everybody loves aic
I've done that. my guitarist and I did an impromptu acoustic mid show and someone suggested it. we started immediately. you can't say no...
The camera guy laughed like "Nutshel? haha he won't play this!" then he started with that piece of art
Chris French bbh
Feels out the chords for Nutshell at 0:10

CRC TV So true man, Corey Taylor has an amazing voice too
Well He Did a Pretty Goo○○○○d Damn Job!!
Layne was unlike anybody else so what do people expect? A cover should never sound the same as the original. What would be the point? Bearing in mind he also just randomly did this in a sound check.
Aaron Lewis's version was about as good as it gets.
First, William Duvall is great. Second, Facelift has a singer that sounds JUST like Layne. Third, Corey KILLED it.
Love how the guy shouts out "Nutshell" and the guy recording just laughs.. "haha, nutshell" like he would never play it and corey instantly starts playing nutshell. ;D
Sounded more like he didint even know that was a real song lol
And the bitch after out of jealousy says you are his husband be nice…talk about a jealous woman
This dude gets it. Can you feel the respect he has for this song? You can definitely hear it.
I love how he wastes almost no time when he hears nutshell from the crowd. Rip layne
Affirmative
no matter who sings this song....always brings tears to my eyes, such a solemn song
Im in love with the dude who shouted Nutshell
And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home
It feels that way sometimes
Every time❤️
If I cant be my own, I'd feel better dead
Pure poetry.
@@BrianZoeu absolutely
Corey killed this in his own style!
Love the part at :35 where they cameraman laughs at "Nutshell", right before he actually performs it. Very cool. Bet he was NOT expecting that to happen.
He was playing the chords and solo from it, the Cameraman was laughing because he was probably gonna play it anyways.
I’m not taking requests.
“Nutshell”
I’m taking one request.

Gabriel Nardin Music this wasn’t a sound check, this was the actual show. He should learn how to play it before trying and failing at a show
Corey Taylor... still kicking ass
Chris Rowan When Dave Lee Roth did it no one bats an eye...
Chris Rowan Talent is not equal fame. Thats music for you.
Wow this guy should have his own band
😂 I hope that's sarcasm 😅
Si, una humilde banda llamada “Slipknot”.
Smartass
I love his delivery... Doesn't over-"sappify" the song, just like Layne never did. Really great.
People stop saying its not layne, duhhhhh. Its a respect thing. It goes both ways layne couldnt do coreys stuff and vice versa. But he did a good job.
projecticeman365 🤘👐
vice versa??br??
Jorge Roberto He couldn't do corey's songs. Lane couldn't do corey's heavy songs or even a lot of his softer songs because they have complete different voices. Layne's voice was perfect for grunge, but Corey Taylors voice works for almost anything he was born with a gift.

Goddamn, I wish there was a solo Corey Taylor album. All acoustic, just him - I'd die for a studio version of this from him.
Yesssss!
Oh my! Corey is the best to sing AIC songs. He have a great voice and he's so wonderful! ♥

@Dipak Roy yes sir it was ....love Aron and Corey but Aron won that one
After learning about CT’s life, this song must really be special to him. Excellent performance.
I love Corey Taylor, he's such an awesome person and musician
I guess things really kicked-off for Chris after the Guardians of the Galaxy success...
HybridReaper Mouse Rat
Jesus Christ I'm never going to unsee this.
Lmfao
HybridReaper glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed that
That’s actually pretty funny, but Corey is like 4’9
We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time

My privacy is raked

Repeating in my head

Hardest lyrics to remember 😂
Way to go Corey. This is an awesome cover of a really heartfelt song.
Everyone is missing the point. This is NOT a cover, and Corey didn't even perform the whole song. If u listen to what everyone is saying in the video u hear Corey mentioning it's just a SOUND CHECK.
He couldn't do this good if he tried. Only thing I've seen close is aaron Lewis

Corey is an amazing dude. He does all his covers a lot of justice. We need more like him and less little Wayne
Lil wayne will be always be little man

this song goes right through me Everytime
The Ginz Tell me about it. The other day I was at the bar and someone played this song on the Juke and for the entire length of the song I was completely phased out
Fuck all these haters. Excellent cover Corey.
Wow, Corey is a freak. What a great performance, such honor brought to Layne.
Corey is a fantastic vocalist
Layne Staleys voice is so hard to capture but I gotta say he does it the best I've ever seen
If you don't cry every time you here this song, you are not alive.
For those who have asked what the second song Corey plays it's called "Burn" by Ray LaMontagne
I can't listen to any version of this song without crying no matter how I'm feeling.
I just saw AIC for the first time ever. I lost it.
Fuckin awesome. Great cover!
AIC are the greatest, heaviest
most musical grunge band.
Love how the dude recognized that he played the unplugged solo so he yelled it out but he didn't actually play it
This song. So glad it got to Corey, too.
Aaron Lewis did a good job on this song
Derrick Bates you should also check out up church's he did a hell of a job on his
@@thomashenrichs160 someone's mad
Thomas Henrichs looked who got dropped when they were a born.
@@thomashenrichs160 what's up with the hate? Aron is a great dude
Right
I love how he checked the audience at the beginning. Great artist. Listen and enjoy.
I love everything that Corey Taylor does and for him to do a cover of my favorite song is beautiful and everything
You’re a very lucky man for seeing this live
This is fantastic. Wow 👍
I could listen to this on repeat all day
Loved it great cover
Thank u Corey for doing this song that was awesome
Any man that can even attemp singing with Layne's voice is an absolute savage as well as a great tribute.
I feel so sad when I hear you sing this. You have the most beautiful voice I have ever heard.
That Ray LaMontage song though!! 😊
Thank you Brandon Chase for this great live track! We need to see more of these intimate up close & personal performances of great performers doing covers of even bigger Rock classics!
Wtf I was so sad when the video cut off. I could listen to his voice all day
Nobody's claiming that he is. Fact is, he's still a fantastically gifted musician.
corey Taylor is the man.
Fucking best song of all time
Corey with a cold still sounds better than any other vocalist alive so when he's healthy nobody comes close to having the type if raw vocal skills that the legendary Corey Taylor has, he's a flawless singer.
Holy crap! He covers Ray LaMontagne at the end of the video?! :D Amazing!
I'ts a great song, one of my all time favourites & absolute kudos to Corey for this, he sang it so well, strings nice and tight too.
Corey Taylor smashed acoustic covers❤️
I often wonder what Layne would think of all the many ways and levels of absolute adoration he and his amazing voice have garnered over these many years. Shock? Surprise? Revulsion? "Whatevs"?
The man is showing respect 👌🇺🇸
best voice from 2000s
I like how he didn't try to sound like layne! It sounded good coming from a diehard corey/layne fan!
Indeed. I love it when the rare gem comes out and sounds remotely like Layne, because it's nearly impossible, but I also really love it when people nail it with their own style
This guy is gold.
Great cover!
Am I the only one that teared up just a little as soon as he started singing
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING...wow.
Thinking of you Layne Staley! What a heartfelt tribute!
How does this not have more views? Great quality vid, and Corey is a god, so that end of it will always be amazing
Rest, Layne , Rest in our memories , the world lost you're voice , but not what you let behind. .......................
I adore this guy!!
Oh he's wonderful. He's truly a gift. Great fuckin song.
if you you dont get grunge you dont get corey. one of the deepest songs ever
After this… I am sure that Lanye (Dai) is still alive and he did sing for us in 2011. Thank you Lanye (Dai ) for every thing !
top 5 fav song of all time. Corey you are amazing,i love every cover,colab,all of it.i have seen you perform with slipknot twice,only concert i have been to that could come even close...1989 metallica and justice for all. Daytona Beach fla. fan forever a maggot. are you gonna be near south carolina in the near future?I wont miss the show.
PLEASE COREY BE THE LEAD SINGER OF AIC XXX
This had to be an awesome show!
My god can anyone stand through the first 15 seconds of this song with no emotional outbreak of some sorts!?
Layne Staley was the greatest voice of his generation you can't expect anyone to sound as good as he did for Corey's trying and he's doing a great job
awesome just awesome dude
For gods sake, yeah, there is one and only Layne. and it was Layne's song, no one can top that. Corey is doing his version, and making it own. Get over, it.

My new favorite version of this song!
Yep!
Layne staley be so frigin pleased a legend has covered this 🖤
Laura Marie layne was a bigger legend
Came across this seeing if people could do a good cover of layne staley. Corey actually does an incredible job.
Corey taylor 😍
He sang it like a lullaby :)
Beautiful!
Layne probably would've liked it.. Corey Taylor is badass nothing much else to say
Maravilhoso!!!
Único cover do Alice In Chains que não força a voz.
Muito bom mesmoo
Excelente 👏
When your sound check is better than most people’s entire performance…
