@@d3sc3nding (This is the 3rd time I've posted this, UA-cam is doing something weird). I know he has had a long career, I'm in my 50s and have known of his various projects for decades.

I was just reminiscing back to when I first introduced my GF to tool/APC - her immediate reaction was, "he makes me think this is what the first angel would sound like, bc how gorgeous yet more than a little unsettling"😇😈 ahahaha. Def one of my favs intro sum1 to TOOL
@@sydknee604 There is indeed! I'm a big fan of them and A Perfect Circle, some of the Puscifer stuff is great too. The Puscifer song Potions he originally did with Trent Reznor on a project called Tapeworm that never got off the ground, personally I think the Tapeworm version is better and he sings almost angelically.
Maynard had to be the one to make this song sound almost as good as the original and he did it on his own terms not trying to emulate the impossible. Fucking badass… so jealous for everyone that saw this collab live🙌
Maynard is fucking ROYALTY of the era..hell ANY era.. He has the right to join fellow legends of the time on stage. God bless all who remain..and keep those who have left us.
I don't care about the audio not being perfect... this fucking song is perfect. Layne was a badass, and I love his voice, but this sounds so perfect with Maynard on vocals. Jerry Cantrel is still a badass. I am in love with this
jesus fuckin christ, maynard can hit those notes wth easy! what a beast, layne is happy to see that in heaven, RIP layne, one of the best singers in rock history.
A love this version because Maynard sang it in his own voice and style. He didn't even think about trying to replicate Layne. He sang it in a way only he can.
I think most would agree Layne is irreplaceable. Maynard is probably one of the few singers on the planet though who could sing one of Layne's songs and not feel sorely lacking.
He still puts a lot of effort on collabs and APC's gigs. I had actually thought his voice was starting to decline due to age after watching current Tool concerts, but then I watched clips of him singing tunes from Eat the Elephant and I was impressed.
Well , he is actually trying to save his voice I'm sure. It's why there are no screams on the new album. That shit gets rough if you play 4 or 5 times a week.
@@pablerryDon’t take this as an “argument”… I’m just explaining: As a singer, myself… when it comes to “range”: Layne Staley is at the top of that list. (Just watch MTV Unplugged: Alice In Chains. Listen to “Nutshell”=His vocal range on the melody:“OooooOOoooo”= at the top of the Octave! Listen to-“Brother” and “Sludge Factory”: where he sings lower than Johnny Cash, and changes “range”, at INSANELY time! And, of course, there’s “Down in a Hole”: where Layne hits, EVERY note on the octave-scale, high & low… Again: not “arguing”; because I’d never “take away” from the BRILLIANCE of Maynard! He’s very talented/awesome!! But you can Youtbe: “Layne Staley sings impossible notes”: where multiple videos, w/ different “singing-coaches” & conductors, are ASTONISHED! One singer/conductor: Took one AIC song, and put the “vocal-recording”thru some, computer-program, that prints out the notes, on paper. Like a sheet of music..(the notes are printed out on music scales)..This man, then points out, a certain part Layne sings & says how “MIND BLOWN” he is, going on to explain: “This note, here.. I’m not even sure what to call it; Bc it’s so far off the chart; it’s like a “new-note”,. It doesn’t fit anywhere on the scale. Before, NOW…it’s not been “possible”, or at least, never “discovered” and recorded. (Not for “human-vocal cords”)…I really wish I could’ve met this man..” Now, IDK-anything, about the “SCIENCE” of it… I just know, when it comes to “range”, Layne Staley & Freddy Mercury are 2singers that can sing higher than Franky Valley & Lower than Johnny Cash, and go from high to low, in untimely-fashion! Being a singer: I WISH I could hit some of the notes, they were capable of.. But as formerly stated: I’m not trying to argue! Simply, because, I ADMIRE & LOVE, Maynard James Keenan: and I would never “argue” AGAINST his talents…I fucking LOVE-me, some TOOL & Perfect Circle! (My comments: both-this one, AND the original: were my ways of RECOGNIZING and GIVING-CREDIT, to the “Greatness”, of Layne Staley. I’d love it, IF.. a singer could “DUPLICATE” or “IMITATE”, Layne Staley’s voice…I’d PAY to hear em! But there’s not a soul, alive, who can. Bc his voice was one of a kind.. So this was my way of showing RESPECTS to Layne; not to take ANYTHING away, from Maynard! Lol (I’ve left, similar comments, under other, AIC “Cover’s”, & the Famous Singers: attempting to cover an old AIC song: James Hetfield, (Metallica), Gavin Rosendale (BUSH), Jonathan Davis (Korn), Phil Anselmo (Pantera) and even to, Corey (Slipknot/StoneSour) Taylor’s-(AIC-Cover!) Lol & Corey Taylor is, a personal-favorite, singer, of mine! So it was def NOT meant to be “disrespectful”, just showing RESPECT to the LATE, Original-Singer!
Found this by accident, was aware of how hard this song is so cover, laynes vocal range is really unique. As soon as saw this collaboration I dunno why I didn't think of Maynard to begin with. This is incredible
It isn't because it's not Laynes voice, but the notes are there easy...so it's redundant to talk about how it isn't Layne. If you are a grunge fan, than Layne is your man, but for me there isn't a better singer than Maynard!
I feel like this works bc maynard is just singing like maynard and not trying to be Layne. I feel like William's downfall is trying to sound like Layne, which he never will. Maynard is just embracing how he sounds different but still unique
If you think William tries to sound like layne then you never actually listened to his singing. He's way better and more stable than layne, especially live. He never makes mistakes or sings off pitch or change the key to the songs, unlike layne. He always sang the way he did since he was in his band "mad fly" back in 90s or earlier and always sounded the way he did. Y'all are just retarded af and don't know shit about singing if you think layne is good.
I love this so much ❤️ I wish AIC could have gotten Maynard to join their band after Layne’s passing but Maynard has his own projects and other bands. 😢
This must be from the Sunami relief concert AIC did in 09? First time they had played as "Alice in chains" since 96 when they opened 4 shows for the Kiss reunion tour then Layne od'd and basically Alice in chains called it quits
PAIN IS ART, LAYNES CAN'T BE MATCHED. None of you took any music classes, but this is good, and really good. But no where near Layne's NO WHERE NEAR. Maynard would easily agree. Maynard is shortening the vocals to be it simply, and it doesn't carry the same pain. MAYBE however with some mix-mastering it could sound some what similar but the PAIN can't be replicated. A man singing from pain and heroin addiction are 2 things BEYOND different then Maynard. Love the two , I would never compare either one.
Everybody’s talking about Maynard’s voice, but nobody’s talking about how the band played the song without moving a muscle. Simply amazing
4 months later…still not a muscle
That takes skill 🤘
Man and the Toolbox
Maynard in the box
This deserves so many more likes 😅
Clever 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
bro 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you made me cry
Maynard could sing the alphabet song and it would still be legendary
😂😂 indeed
Well, this is a legendary song, far from the alphabet song.
implying that this song is as shitty as the alphabet song 😂😂
After Layne, only Maynard can handle this song properly
Even Maynard struggled on this one. Layne was from a whole different world, as was Cornell
@@92lgnd I think this is from 2005. 90's Maynard, in his prime, would've crushed that even more.
Not comparing him to Layne, but 90's Maynard was sum else.
Chester bennington could, the video is in terrible quality tho but you can tell
@@bruno-th6of Maynard kind of overpowers Layne
agree
When Maynard hits those high notes I peed a little.
I peed a lot
I came
i went
I’m standing at the urinal.
Admit it, it wasn’t pee.
Didn't know this existed. My favourite singer with my favourite band. If anyone can do justice to Layne's vocals it's Maynard
The man is a beast and so was Layne... Tool & Alice are my 2 favourite bands. I love Lateralus just a perfect album.

Did you know they were actually good buddies before Layne past?
This is probably the best collaboration to have ever been made.

Maynard is one of the greatest Male lead singers of all time.
For the genre(s) he performs in most definitely. Mike Patton of Faith No More, Mr Bungle etc is another phenom with such a crazy range.
@@harvestbladesMike Patton and Faith No More's rendition of "War Pigs" is the best one ever!
I think the singer of Periphery is really good too, great variety in his voice
This is why Maynard is so great, sustaining those high notes in the chorus takes a different kind of voice than most people can do
What makes me mad is people just do not understand how fkn good Maynard is dude can literally sing anything

Hell yes
Insanely jealous!!
Maynard is probably one of the very few people who has Layne's vocal range
Miles Kennedy
Mike Patton too
God I wish there was actual footage of this concert

A love this version because Maynard sang it in his own voice and style. He didn't even think about trying to replicate Layne. He sang it in a way only he can.
30 years later and I realise that I’d and still loved the best singers in history
Two favorite bands: TooL/DepecheMode. AIC/NIN/Manson very closeby.
Jeez, just stumble upon this. Great combo!!!!
I would love to see a video of this! 2 of my favorites!
Am i the only one, although i respect and understand Maynard's chops, but still think Layne is unmatched?
He will always be unmatched, even by Maynard
I think most would agree Layne is irreplaceable. Maynard is probably one of the few singers on the planet though who could sing one of Layne's songs and not feel sorely lacking.
Best cover ever of this song. What an awesome tribute from one great singer to another
Big big shoes to fill...
He filled 'em.
Fair play
He still puts a lot of effort on collabs and APC's gigs. I had actually thought his voice was starting to decline due to age after watching current Tool concerts, but then I watched clips of him singing tunes from Eat the Elephant and I was impressed.
He sang A part of me recently and it sounded like the album from 1992. He still has vocal power. He just doesn't use it like he used to.
Well , he is actually trying to save his voice I'm sure. It's why there are no screams on the new album. That shit gets rough if you play 4 or 5 times a week.
Yeah he an still do it and if you’re lucky you’ll get an aggressive song or a wicked scream once every tour or two. He’s goin for longevity for sure.
Even the best singers, can’t replicate imitate or duplicate, the voice of Layne Staley… RIP Layne!
They can't 'cuz they are the best, not imitations or fans trying to sound like...
There is no need to replicate it, Maynard does it perfectly. He has a way wider range than Layne.

jerrys solo was spot on. Maynard sounds pretty damn good too.
Would love to see footage of this
