    Layne's powerful yet incredibly diverse vocal delivery sits perfectly in this masterfully crafted instrumental. Layne and Jerry's blend is unlike any other vocal duo. Watch and listen as I get to go through the studio multitracks and reveal what makes this song work so well!
    We look at individual band member performances, effects, and of course... The quirky and dynamic approach of Layne Staley's amazing vocals!

      @@chrisliepe piggybacking off this, if you like heavier, more scream-y songs/vocals, I highly recommend Avenged Sevenfold's older album called Waking The Fallen. Eternal Rest, Unholy Confessions, and I Won't See You Tonight parts 1 and 2 are my favorites. It might be hard, but if u could get multitracks for any song on this album, prepare to have your mind blown at Shadows/Rev's vocals.

    Layne was one of the most incredible vocalists ever. The fact that he's slightly off pitch sometimes gives his voice helps it feel just so haunting. It's NOT what we're "supposed" to hear but in such an incredible way.

    One of my favorite bands. I'm always amazed at how effortlessly Layne can sing in the higher end of his range. At the Unplugged show, he was able to easily hit these notes while 30 pounds underweight, strung out on heroin, and slumped over in a chair. His mixed voice is perfection.
    My only complaint with this video is I would have liked to hear more of Layne and Jerry's vocal blend. A little too much time was given to just Layne. Part of what makes them magical is their harmonies, like you mentioned up top. I think the fact that Jerry has an almost "bland" voice is a great asset when it comes to harmonizing with Layne. Two "interesting" voices might not work as well together.

    Just about every single aspect of this song is hard as all hell. It's so simple, musically. Just a minor pentatonic with a couple major thirds and devil 4ths added in. But the way its produced just makes it sound MINDBOGGLING. Easily one of the heaviest songs ever created. They really didn't hold back on any aspect of their performance or production. Such an intense song from start to finish.

      @@livingoneasystreet3528 The harmonies in the chorus are different; it's a three part for each chorus in the demo, panned left/right/center. It's mixed a lot differently, too; in the demo the low part is actually the lead. And none of his voice is doubled, which I prefer almost always when listening to Layne. Doubling has its own effect, but it's hides some of his natural vocal character. Listen to the first "well what have you got" in the demo. You can almost hear phlegm (in a good way).

    Alice In Chains was one of the first bands to ever show me how to express myself through music/lyrics. I’ve been writing songs since 3rd grade, but a lot of them were very amateurish before listening to AIC because none of the songs had any meaning to me. My songs got significantly better throughout high school as soon as I heard AIC and learned to put my experiences into my lyrics. Now I’m on your channel so I can learn how to actually sing my songs cause I can’t sing…😂😂

      Very cool brother -- recently got back to playing my guitar and singing again after over 10 years of almost no guitar work but over 20 HARDCORE years playing with numerous bands every week, but the thing that blew me away, after not really singing for a few years is how much range I lost, but in just a month I can hit the little falsetto part of nutshell again, which though I am a horrible singer the fact that I got back notes I had to sing an octave lower just a month ago I'm hitting exactly again and even holding them pretty solidly, gives me hope to get back all I've lost and maybe even get better then I was(lol, maybe 5 years of hardcore practicing on guitar 😢)

    @ohwhen7775 2 місяці тому

    Great video Chris, really enjoyed the breakdown of his sheer ability. Was a tad surprised you didn't go into his note choice and ornamentation of how he sings melodies (actually you did mention the sliding towards the end) but I guess it was more about the various vocal techniques he employed of which you presented a really elaborate showcase. Listening to the tracks here in isolation reveals more info that is not so apparent otherwise!
    For note choice I mean the blue notes in Layne's overall singing since, as Rick Beato has pointed out, the blues vocabulary was still a part of 90's rock as a whole. Nutshell another great example of this. When he either slides from the natural 4th up to the b5 in the verses or starts on the b5 in the chorus of Rooster, so tastefully done. Man even the amount of things going on at the 19:41 run, I love the subtle wholetone slide from Eb to F at the end of that run, he loves sliding between notes like that and when he drags them out it's not only more intense but the thought to just do that shows incredible maturity in my opinion, just great musical variance and intuition. This is surely related to why experienced players of instruments tell practicing musicians to sing along when they play, it's to get more "lyrical" or melodic phrasing into your vocabulary in order to sound more meaningful.
    One aspect of Layne Staley's voice I love similar to early Robert Plant, is their inherent quality of tone and intensity of their voice when they scream, they both have this natural distortion as you call it which they were so lucky to just have as part of their signature, Whole Lotta Love being a Plant example, "YOU NEED", and perhaps on Dazed & Confused too, blanking out on other Led Zep examples but you get me. Other singers could definitely scream but I feel like Layne's inherent voice takes the cake maybe even over Plant for sheer intensity, and over any other 90's rock vocalist. One only has to listen to "Would", sublime.
    And I love your point on Layne's use of yarling, it was merely just another tool for him, as I like the way Eddie Vedder does it in Jeremy and Alive. Even Jeff Buckley would sometimes yarl and I feel like that wasn't as prominent in his style as others but would make it work for sure.
    Rooster is in my opinion the best and most mature track they ever made next to Would as a very close second. Hearing that F Mixolydian chord and Jerry Cantrell's foresight to blast that chord voicing through distortion for that Chorus is an experience in itself. Hats off to the entire band for that one.

    Well I haven't looked yet but this mix has all the hallmarks of an Andy Wallace mix. The chorused bass, the white noise sample gated by the snare that sounds like a reverb tail but isn't. It wouldn't surprise me if he mixed it because I swear he mixed everything that I loved in the 90s and that is not an exaggeration. I mean Deftones, A Perfect Circle, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Rage against the machine, Incubus I think, uhm, seriously go look up his engineering credits. It's crazy. It's also crazy that he used the same snare sample (always underneath the real snare as a tail, like a reverb instead of a sample replacement thing) and also the same chorused bass which is an old effects unit dialed to a specific preset, that is the same everytime. Hey if it works, don't fix it.

    This is awesome. I'm rehearsing this song to do live. It was requested by a buddy. The yarl is definitely there. It's all over Layne's vocal. My take on it is this.... rather than try to defend it or down play it, embrace and celebrate it! The fact that people will parody it and make fun of it should simply be dismissed out of hand. Too bad for them if they view it negatively. Maybe they should sell several million albums first before they sit back and judge? I give their collective critique zero credence, and so should you :)

    i definitely notice a few of the lines on the main vocal track arent what was used on the final version, especially noticable on the "gloria sent me pictures of my boy" line, this one is more open, distorted and monotone than the final take used

    Layne sings the 'demo' of Rooster more crisp and better than even this version, and this version is
    exceptional especially when hearing it with your break down. Great great Video, one of the best.

    Chris you have a great voice! easy for even the best singers to feel inferior compared to Layne but you are talented as well sir. also it's super interesting to listen to a vocalist use their voice as an actual instrument as it is, which I feel like Layne did that to a masterful level and I know I've said this in countless vids of yours lol but yet again, Layne Staley is my favorite vocalist any genre, year or otherwise
