We need more like this in times of permanent autotune and overmixing. Little is more. A great acoustic guitar, an awesome voice and a ton of emotion. That is what music is about. Thanks for uploading :)
Well said ! that being the case these guys are too good to just sit and throw out live music with passion. It needs to be recorded along with a live version Compromise!
It is. If you've noticed which you have a long time ago singers sung. They didn't try so hard but still had heart without trying so hard. Quite satisfying.
I agree. They do some incredible tunes. I attempted this many years ago after seeing AIC at the Tower in Philly. Incredible Show. ua-cam.com/video/3k0ZhvdlW4o/v-deo.html
You must not be too critical, because his rhythm on the guitar part in the beginning was almost completely wrong. The rest of it was good though. Vocals were the best part.
Ballsy, attempting to walk in those shoes. I always click on these AIC covers and just wait for the cringe. It never came! I miss Layne as much as the next guy, as I'm sure you do also. Thanks for giving this song what it deserves. An amazingly deep, heart felt rendition by a couple of guys with hearts of grunge.
Yes he's a very good singer! I wouldn't call AIC grunge tho. Not even alternative really. They were straight up hard rock! Like Sound Garded were.The two best and most talented bands to come out of the whole so called Seattle music "scene" in the early 90s in my opinion!
500 views. 0 Dislikes. Let that sink in about a Layne Staley cover of 1 of the best song's AIC ever did. Even unplugged in NYC. Thank you Men so much! Absolute Art.
The intensity on your face before you started singing showed how much you respect the man, how much you wanted to do the song justice. Mission accomplished.🔥🔥🔥
Hit me hard, man. Can't stop hearing. Too much perfection. Sometimes I spend hours and hours listening to your covers. Helps me to study. Hope u guys are doing okay. Keep going.
It’s good to see people still care about great music, well done lads! I wish you the best in everything you do, discovered your videos awhile back now but never commented. I’ve just got back into guitar myself and you’ve given me the inspiration to write and play again! Cheers
My mind exploded when he started singing. I expected good singing obviously, but this exceeded my expectations by a lot. Huge respects!!!!!!! Awesome job
Wow! This tune can only be hair raising if the performers are pouring there soul into its performance just as MS&Company did in the original. This one really shows your vocal as your own as well. It's obvious you two Dudes are paying your dues and maybe we all fans will be lucky enough to see the show "Coming to a venue near You"(meaning Us)!
My words will never be enough. On the 13th time I listened to your version, I could see laynes face while listening to you singing it. You guys did a great job and I know for me personally I appreciate it thank you guys
You guys are friggin amazing. I was listening to this on my way to work today. Though its a sad song, your cover put me in a great mood to face the day ahead. Peace lads
This is one of those sacred songs. Stirring up emotions since my first listen back in 94. It takes a lot of talent, courage, life lived and pain experienced to do what you just did .. 👌❤️💯🙏 Thank you
ALGUM BRAZUKA POR AI ``````???????????????????????? Depois dessa dupla , arrebentar anos atras na musica BANDA PEARL JAM ..MUSICA BLACK Agora BANDA ALICE IN CHAINS.......MUSICA NUTSHELL.... CARA CANTA MUITO ;.;;;;;;;;
For some reason this song is untouchable to me, I wish people would leave it alone. But you guys delivered it with respect that was appropriate and the talent that was needed. Nice work, really great job.
You did a phenomenal job singing. I had to listen to this a second time cause it's so great. Cant describe the words how much this song means for me and to everyone who are fans of Alice In Chains. Especially fans of Lane Staley, you guys did an amazing job. Keep it up!!!!
@@ederfeder1 I saw him live a few years ago in Saginaw Michigan. He's getting up there in age but still sounds just as good as he does in his live videos from 30-40 years ago.
UA-cam recommended this for me. This is one of my favorite AIC tunes, so I was a bit skeptical. I’m glad I watched it. You guys did a really good job. I’m gonna have to check out more of your stuff.
It's crazy how in our heads we can hear Mike Inez's bass accompanying you guys. Another great job!
The acoustic bass in the MTV Unplugged is absolutely stellar. This rendition is very well done!

Bum bum. Bum bum bum.
So true!!!
I can hear the audience too.

couldn’t agree more
I got chills!!!
It is. If you've noticed which you have a long time ago singers sung. They didn't try so hard but still had heart without trying so hard. Quite satisfying.
this used to be the standard. Now it's all bleached ass hole versions of songs.
I’m pretty critical of people trying to cover this song. But having said that, I think this was pretty damn good! Well done John!
And Bas
There s also bas dude..
I agree. They do some incredible tunes.

@@Kultivater I was only referring to the vocals.
This guy's voice has really matured. Awesome.
Next: River of Deceit!
Would be amazing !
Wake up is mad seasons best song
I hope for wake up too
Great suggestion! Some Mark Lanegan songs would be great too...
I would like Wake Up more!

Thanks for giving this song what it deserves. An amazingly deep, heart felt rendition by a couple of guys with hearts of grunge.
Agreed, was pleasantly surprised!
Facts
At 2:12 you forgot you were being recorded. That is the moment where you opened up. Nice work! Great falsetto to boot.
Oh man them grunge song covers get you right in the heart, you are amazing man!
Really fits his voice yes!
Yes he's a very good singer! I wouldn't call AIC grunge tho. Not even alternative really. They were straight up hard rock! Like Sound Garded were.The two best and most talented bands to come out of the whole so called Seattle music "scene" in the early 90s in my opinion!
Emo for old men ❤
Two guys on the bench. Guitar and voice. And enough for good music.
R.I.P the brilliant Lane Staley....🙏🏻....you gentlemen are outstanding....❤️
This guy has a great set of pipes.

Wow finally.... i would die with this....
This is the first where someone got the lyrics right and actually felt it congrats.
Best Chains cover on all of UA-cam. You guys are Magnificent.
Possibly so! Definitely and unmovable from the top 10!
Check the Brothers Hawk version. Pretty good. Different.
No its not. The best cover belongs to The Jury Disagree - I stay away.
John and Bas coversongs are awesome too, dont get me wrong.
Hit me hard, man. Can't stop hearing. Too much perfection.
Sometimes I spend hours and hours listening to your covers. Helps me to study. Hope u guys are doing okay. Keep going.

Out freaking standing!!!... One of the best acoustic covers I've heard of this song.. Very well done.
You guys should be proud of yourselves! Covering an incredible song and doing it justice. Top shelf, keep ‘em coming!
This brings tears to my eyes .....! Great job ! You guys are holding it down tough on this and I for one really appreciate it !!!!!😢
Here it is... And boy is it everything and more than I hoped it would be. You guys are transcendent.
Came back to listen to this again and it’s still as good as I remembered. Fantastic voice.
Wow I've been waiting for this video since I discovered your black cover a few years ago... You guys are amazing!
My mind exploded when he started singing. I expected good singing obviously, but this exceeded my expectations by a lot. Huge respects!!!!!!! Awesome job

I love the simplicity of these records. It's so natural. Amazing guys!

I requested that a while back. He has the perfect voice for it! Would be amazing.😎👌

Couldn't agree more. Looking forward to it, should it ever come to pass.
This is the best, heart felt cover of this sadly beautiful song!

Wow. Layne Staley must be one of the hardest vocalist to cover and you guys nailed it! Great fucking job.
You two gave me literal chills. Loved it
Phenomenally great job both of you. Powerful vocals man, stepped up to the challenge. Well done
Not going to lie, first saw was like you've got to be kidding me. F#&k man, killed it. Best cover 100%. Staley would be proud brotha.
I would go see these dudes in concert. Love the voice, guitar playing and choice of songs. Do you guys do originals too?

Lovely to hear you. Haven't listened in a while. Beautiful song. Beautiful rendition. Really like all the music you do. Best wishes x

"Se não posso ser o que sou...
Me sentiria melhor morto"
Palavras fortes....
Absolutely amazing!
Wow ur voice is so beautiful, the guitar playing is awesome too. Perfect cover👏
It's so beautiful! I'am a brazilian fan of you
I'm Brazilian too, this is amazing
that guitarist's foot position is making me uncomfortable!
anyways great cover guys :)
Haha :)
you might find this comment also uncomfortable but honestly that position makes the guitar more stable and easier to strum. :-D
I play guitar like this hihi
prolly helps him focus. I do weird stuff when I'm playing my bass but it helps.
I sit the same way when playing acoustic, just feels right lol.
That is incredible! Goose bumps!!!! WELL DONE and thanks!
Man you both just keep playing the music that i love respect for both! keep on keeping on
You did a phenomenal job singing. I had to listen to this a second time cause it's so great. Cant describe the words how much this song means for me and to everyone who are fans of Alice In Chains. Especially fans of Lane Staley, you guys did an amazing job. Keep it up!!!!

No truer statement ever. The 90’s are long gone friend.
So true
It’s still made. It’s just not marketed
Nailed it. Great work guys!
Goosebumps! Excellent voice and guitar on point
Here's an oddball request that I feel you would sound awesome on....Gordon Lightfoot If You Could Read My Mind
Funny , I was just listening to Gordon Lightfoot and Alice in Chains last night
@@ederfeder1 I saw him live a few years ago in Saginaw Michigan. He's getting up there in age but still sounds just as good as he does in his live videos from 30-40 years ago.
Next: Rooster or Wake up
Rooster. I've asked for that one or man in the box
I was waiting for This song. Beautiful, guys! . My regards from Chile.
Fantastic cover, what a great match to Bas's voice. Really similar to Layne. Great guitar too, I just kept waiting to hear the bass come in haha.
The only cover I've found that gives this song justice! Great cover!!
Go listen to Upchurch's cover. Great as well.
Fantastic!! Wondered where you guys were, Great job keep at it and God Bless!
Instant subscribe!! Awesome, fellas!!
One of my favourite songs and you guys really did it justice, you have a great voice
love the reflection on the guitar, looks trippy AF
This was great job guys, congrats! Keep it up!
Beautiful, unique voice. Thank you for sharing this gift!
Great job covering a classic. Brought down the tear! 👍
I know this one is hard to cover because of the soul he put into the lyrics describing his life. Much respect for this cover. Love it!!
Bloody brilliant! Thank you guys.
Damn dude, the first line line I was not expecting that, gave me gooesbumps this is fire guys! Great cover!
This is awesome. Great job fellas
UA-cam recommended this for me. This is one of my favorite AIC tunes, so I was a bit skeptical. I’m glad I watched it. You guys did a really good job. I’m gonna have to check out more of your stuff.
One of my favorite songs..
My man John, A real-life phoenix, especially with that flame beard, Bas of coarse is keeping every in sync as always!
Very soothing man. Excellent cover fellas!!
Nice! Sounds great, brings back memories
