WOW!!!!JAWDROPPINGLY GREAT!!! along with jack white, ryan's the most important artist of his generation!!!! i love his music!!!seen him in manchester this week & was blown away!!! he's awesome!!
I'm a huge Alice in Chains fan, and I love this cover of Down in a Hole. He did it justice by keeping what made it worth listening to in the first place, but delivering it with his own style. Well done.
no i still think it is, because the foloow the lights ep isn't with only studio recordings, theyre called cardinals version. so i'm not sure, but i really think so i guess.
oh ok so maybe they used this recording then on the album? that's cool. I haven't heard that EP before? did it just come out or something? cuz I know the songs they're playing are off his newest album Easy Tiger, so it must've been done pretty recently.
Yes the origanal version has everything you said-but this is a COVER! I think it's a great tune for him to cover and did you happen to notice the great conviction with which he sang it? Come on man!
Actually, Jerry Cantrell wrote the lyrics and music for Down In A Hole. Guess it was about depression. It sure seems like it was Layne's life story song though, huh? RIP Layne
sorry but nobody can sing down in a hole like Layne he wrote this while suffering through his heroin addiction and I just don't think Ryan caught that feeling though he has been there in life. When Alice in Chains does this unplugged it can bring you to tears if you have lived that lifestyle which I unfortunately did. Still though I'm not a hater Ryan is an amazing musician!
please dont ever say this is better than the original ...shhhh Ryan is good in his own right for someone who sounds like any other joe shmoe, dont ever compare him to layne
Its still Jerry's song and Layne knew it. Watch the Unplugged. Layne stops singing near the end to let Jerry shine. Down in a Hole is still Jerry's pain and heartbreak.
First up, why can't you compare the cover to the original? Who cares what they've done to it... you can compare it. I like the original version better than this. There, I just compared it. Second, Down in a Hole is not a metal song by any stretch of the imagination.
Their Down in a Hole cover was weak. It lost all the grittiness that makes that song so great. Also, the acoustic guitar player just plays the chords, not the actual notes. And it is not the same without the electric guitar soloing over the acoustic.
WOW!!!!JAWDROPPINGLY GREAT!!!

OMG, this is an awesome cover of Down in a hole. Never heard this guy before, but I'm a fan!
absolutely incredible.
Wow, Ryan, seriously amazing.
yeah this is the studio recording on the follow the lights ep! wow nice!!!

thanks for posting this! This session is incredible! Come to Spain man!
great great performance!!! jeessssssss
whew amazing
I never realized how compassionate Bryan Adams was... much respect.
this isn't the studio recording, this is part of a live set they played at a radio station for its listeners. lucky for us they got it on video.
omfg - this is an awesome session - thankyou!!
That guitar is dope
WOW!!!! That guy's good
Love it!
haha owned. Ryan Adams is awesome
@alisue18 Down In A Hole is an Alice in Chains song, written by Jerry Cantrell
@BTBAMBODIES incorrect, jerry cantrell wrote it
Great!
a terrible version of Down In A Hole !! ♥♥♥!! Love It!
no i still think it is, because the foloow the lights ep isn't with only studio recordings, theyre called cardinals version. so i'm not sure, but i really think so i guess.
u are very right sirs, he did, i was thinking of nutshell sorry about the confusion
The song is in Bb, and he plays cross-harp, so that means its an Eb harmonica.
oh ok so maybe they used this recording then on the album? that's cool. I haven't heard that EP before? did it just come out or something? cuz I know the songs they're playing are off his newest album Easy Tiger, so it must've been done pretty recently.
Crazy... he can smoke and still sing amazing... I don't smoke and i can't sing for nothing...
@taparoo101 Ryan Adams first. Look for the original recording in a cafe. He wrote that song the same day. Long live Ryan Adams. Frikin genius!
@alisue18 but come pick me up is ryans song.
Yes the origanal version has everything you said-but this is a COVER! I think it's a great tune for him to cover and did you happen to notice the great conviction with which he sang it? Come on man!
Is this the version on "Follow the Lights"? Sounds pretty close.
hey hey, i want him! lol but honestly who would even think about his friends when hes around??? OW!
Is this the same down in a hole that's on Follow the Lights?
Is Andy Dick playing slide? Just trolling on through...love my Mr. Adams
Actually, Jerry Cantrell wrote the lyrics and music for Down In A Hole. Guess it was about depression. It sure seems like it was Layne's life story song though, huh? RIP Layne
man that just shows you how powerfully awesome layne staley was
what is cross harp man?
why is it censored?
exactly lol
what are the tabs?
Then blog about it.
the three people who dislike this probably listen to lady gaga.
okay, I thought Ryan was the original for this song... who is??
no need a good quality video when audio is like that
Pedal steel guitar...(@luthierjustin)
I think it's Jon Graboff. Andy Dick is more of a talker in my experience. Oh, and not a Cardinal.
Yeah, for real. No I'm not stoned!
sorry but nobody can sing down in a hole like Layne he wrote this while suffering through his heroin addiction and I just don't think Ryan caught that feeling though he has been there in life.

please dont ever say this is better than the original ...shhhh Ryan is good in his own right for someone who sounds like any other joe shmoe, dont ever compare him to layne
Jerry might have written it but Layne made it a classic with his voice. Thanks to both of them for this song and the many other great AIC songs.
Its still Jerry's song and Layne knew it. Watch the Unplugged. Layne stops singing near the end to let Jerry shine. Down in a Hole is still Jerry's pain and heartbreak.
This song never sounded so good...
RYAN RYAN RYAN NOT BRYAN
haha, he left the "come fuck me" up and "full of shit" out of the song :D
Well, Neal's not too shabby! ;)
I'm with ya, though...hard to imagine screwing darling ryan over.
First up, why can't you compare the cover to the original? Who cares what they've done to it... you can compare it. I like the original version better than this. There, I just compared it. Second, Down in a Hole is not a metal song by any stretch of the imagination.
yeah plus he'd write a million songs about how you screwed him over lol.

He messed it up so much...i really dont like it but its just my opinion ..
No one is playing slide guitar
