I'm sitting in piazza spagna in rome, the sky is cloudy , yet the full moon is seen through the clouds. Listening to this cover with my eyes teared up. Love your channel man. Cheers from italy.
Been listening to this guy for half an hour… he kills every cover I’ve listened to so far. He has great restraint Doesn’t over do it I’ve learned a lot in 30 minutes
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 Ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh Ooh-ooh My gift of self is raped My privacy is raked And yet I find, and yet I find Repeating in my head If I can't be my own I'd feel better dead Ooh Ooh-ooh Ooh Ooh-ooh
Man I keep coming back to this cover. So great. Heavy chunky bass notes and light high notes… and the harmonics!! Forgot how much I love Alice in chains and playing my guitar. Thanks mate
Another gorgeous cover of Alice in Chains. These songs always touch me deeply. The expressions of anguish and pain that come with this life. Staley shared his inner states with us with his one-of-a-kind voice. What a talent he was. You capture the sound and the mood beautifully.
Hey River. Have been a huge Alice In Chains Fan for almost 2 decades now. I would not even bother commenting on someone’s rendition unless it was absolutely immaculate. What I am captured by is your ability to truly channel the song’s essence yet remain true to your own natural voice and talent. Really great fucking work here man. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us!
I don't know you, but I think we're on similar journeys...so I say, keep going. The sound you make is making a difference to someone, right now, to me. Congratulations on the work! I hope to develop the talent so I can post some songs too.
Dude I feel you it takes a VERY VERY talented person to make me like or even listen to any attempts at trying to cover AiC but this song specifically I'll pick it to the bone! But I'll recommend a couple you may not have heard before Dallas Green AKA city and colour does a few cover songs that are really good a guy named Larry fleet recently did a cover of nutshell that was really impressive!
coming back around again. just keeps getting better and better each time i listen to you. the voice is just so right - so right on. you the real deal. thanks!
I’m on a guitar journey as well, and I find Alice In Chains songs to be the most satisfying to learn. A perfect stream of grit weaving through a base of beauty…Not to mention lyrics you can deeply become connected with. You sir are doing an excellent job, and it shows you connect with their songs and have put lots of time and passion into playing them. Thank you for sharing
I feel very lucky I stumbled on your channel, amazing. I wish I had a voice like yours, but I happily settle for hearing it. It has moved me. Thank you for sharing your talents. I hope you are doing well.
Beautiful, again. Watched this straight after your Down In A Hole cover. Beautifully translated. Agreed those solo parts do make the original very special - well done on incorporate them in your version! Also been listening to this song a lot lately. Soothing and heavy at the same time. Hits deep. So true what he says "if I can't be my own I'd feel better dead". Powerful. Looking forward to listening to your Audioslave - I am the Highway rendition! :)
my favorite AIC song and an absolutely amazing cover! You captured the feel of the song! Amazing harmonics too, people don't know how difficult that is to pull off like that! Keep rockin, friend!!
It was a great cover until I heard the harmonics, then it became a superb cover. Those little arrengements, at least for me, trully shows the essence of the whole song. You just won a sub
I thought that "black" was going to be top 1 and difficult to beat but brother... I found this and there is no turning back. What a beautiful piece, thanks for sharing, great work. I loved
"If I can't be be my own, I'd feel better dead" doesn't come close to home, then Idk what will hit your soul at all homies... Shit hits my soul like a Tsunami I've been holding back my entire life. What a wonderful cover.
hey, just wanted to say you're not alone in relating to this. powerful words. would be cool to make a connection with a stranger who relates. where you based ?
Oh I've been listening to this song the most lately and learning it on the guitar and vocals. Discovered it only like a month ago. It speaks to my soul.
My close friend said he wanted this played at his funeral. We didn't know we'd be playing it a few weeks later. Check in on your mates. Thanks for this awesome version.
Aw, I was so excited to hear the falsetto "ooo's". I refuse to believe that you can't capture a similarly haunting falsetto to Layne given your voice and singing. There must be another reason and I need to know.
I thought about learning this myself and realized the guitarwork you do in this cover. Beautiful. You've got great skill. I deeply appreciate you sharing this with us.
This is absolutely magnificent! I was a teenager in the 90's but didn't listen to any of this kind of music , wish i had, alice in chains are amazing band!
River, second vid of yours I've watched of you covering a fave song of mine and WOW! spot. On. Another more than 5 stars out of 5 one. Keep it up mate 👌
John Wick plays a mean cover of AIC! Well done. Love the lead guitar line and harmonics, absolutely stunning. Vocals are spot on.
Thanks, man! Much appreciated. I will certainly check out John Wick.
Be careful, haha@@rivercrombie
Thanks for the warning! I'm yet to see it. Haha @@secondtononeguitars

your Italian American across the ocean. Inhale positive vibes brother
Listening to this 6 months after you, staring at the skies in the northeast NA and feeling just like you, mate.
River these Alice in Chains covers are fantastic mate. Super awesome. Keep coming back to listen.
agreed with @tristram! :)
Best cover I’ve ever heard of this song
Watch the southern guy sing it
Try to hear dalton dummers cover then
By a mile
Upchurch takes that accolade.
Same.
Been listening to this guy for half an hour… he kills every cover I’ve listened to so far.
He has great restraint
Doesn’t over do it
I’ve learned a lot in 30 minutes
That was incredible. Impeccable guitar performance!!!
great precision there with the harmonics! this song resonates deeply in the hearts of many of us... thanks for sharing your vision!
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
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find, and yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
I literally stopped working and spent 15 minutes listening to a few of your covers. Very heartfelt and genuine. Bravo!
Man I keep coming back to this cover. So great. Heavy chunky bass notes and light high notes… and the harmonics!! Forgot how much I love Alice in chains and playing my guitar. Thanks mate
I bought this CD when it came out, and all these years later this song can bring a tear to my eye.
It's really beautiful. Your voice tone, guitar skills, and feeling, sounds true and inspiring ❤

Tough one to play and sing. Excellent job. Nailed that funky little rhythm, and the lead riffs were a nice surprise.

Thanks for your comment! If you practice a lot you'll reach your goal, my friend. You'll be posting in no time :)
Didn’t miss a lick, literally. The playing. Those harmonics. Chef’s kiss.
It's in my memories too. I still have their album Jar of Flies.
Brought me chills man. Great job!
Never seen someone rock the Lord Farquaad cut so hard. Or this song. Every cover he does is 10/10
Love it man! A beautiful, natural sounding voice with a nice subtle rasp, and great guitar skills too! I'm so happy I found you!
Thanks, man! I appreciate it :)
Bloody beautiful, I absolutely love the natural harmonic twist on the chorus section!
At first I thought you were playing the vocal track over your guitar playing! What an excellent performance! Keep it up, what a pleasure to listen to.
Have never "liked" an AIC cover until now. Excellent job!

Check out Alicia Widar's cover of Down in a Hole, one of my favorites AiC covers
I would highly recommend City and Colour's versions of 'Nutshell' and 'Rain When I Die'. Both really, really incredible.
Check out billy strings cover of it. Its really special

Just excellent. Love the the integration of lead lines phase into chords. Tricky to do.
Ah sick cover dude! I like the leads!
Beautiful. One of my favorite songs of all time
You understand the nuance of the songs. Great stuff man

Subbed on account of the skill displayed. Thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed it!
Thanks! I appreciate that :)
I'm getting all kinds of inspiration from you bro. Doing all these songs. Excellent vibes
Superb work. The decisions you made 🎸 were perfect for the material.
I hope to cover this half as well someday.
4th cover ive listened/watched of yours, all are amazing. Bravo dude. For real.
Helluva job, my friend. It's one of my favorite songs, and you kicked its ass! 👏
Wow. You are a true artist. Thank you!!!!
Well done ! Enjoyed your cover of this sad and yet beautiful song.😁
Brilliant. Thank you for sharing. Inspiring.
just saw your 'down in a hole' cover which was awesome but, this is my favorite aic song and you killed it.
Nice dude. I'm glad my algorithm decided to recommend you. Great channel.
Totally brilliant mate! Top notch, loved it.
My close friend said he wanted this played at his funeral. We didn't know we'd be playing it a few weeks later. Check in on your mates. Thanks for this awesome version.

Holy crap, dude! What a great cover of such an awesome song.

I think a lot of people have got it spot on in their comments buddy, great cover yet again and one of my all time favourite bands and albums
Bro you got it. Incredible covers, I loved down in a hole also.
You're legit. Couldn't be any better. Technically and feeling-wise.
Awesome job, amazingly arranged to fill the song out. Great voice and control!
this is truly flawless, thank you for sharing
Thank you for the positive feedback :)
Aw, I was so excited to hear the falsetto "ooo's". I refuse to believe that you can't capture a similarly haunting falsetto to Layne given your voice and singing. There must be another reason and I need to know.
Outstanding, well done. Looking forward to more
Amazing work once again River, both on vocals and guitar. ☮️
Thank you, my friend!
Nice sound. From Brazil, Following your job.
