It does hit harder the older I get but I think for me it’s because you can hear the pain and despair in the lyrics and realize that Layne Staley and so many other musicians lived it. He was alone and lonely when he passed and was alone and lonely for two weeks before he was even found. It’s just sad. This is an excellent cover.

Whats interesting is Jerry wrote down in a hole about his ex gf… almost didnt bring it to the band because it was a lot slower than the stuff they were doing at the time. Band loved it though and now everyone associates the lyrics with laynes struggles even though jerry wrote the lyrics

This is excellent, but, I think Eric Church did this song more justice.

Layne and AIC should be in the hall of fame. They should've won Grammy awards. We should've had a major motion picture, Layne Staley bio pic. RIP Layne, what a vocalist/soul singer/songwriter. Never forgotten. This was a respectful, quality cover. 👏

While this was a great performance, this song and the entire unplugged album are sacred to us GenX and feel it should never be covered.

This version is hugging my soul 💗

Saw Larry Fleet at a bar in Nashville little over 2 years ago. For the life of me can't remember the band he was with. Some band that had bearded lead singer who played fiddle. Larry was identified as a special guest, was a great band, great night. He was good then and looks like he's trending up.

Rip Layne Staley. We love and miss you always Layne.

Miss you, Layne. Thank you for saving my life.

I like Larry. This was an incredible cover.

i just got the full chills neck hair standing when he started humming the chorus he do amazing on the rest i thought another really good nutshell cover then he done the humming and it might be one of the best ive heard since layne

Goosebumps!!!! Good job Larry

I can almost feel the strings vibrating on my arms, absolutely fantastic

I almost never comment here on youtube, but this deserves my most sincere applauses. You did it like no other could do better... only Layne.

One of, if not the best cover I’ve ever heard of this song

Wayne Staley just smiled.. 🔥

The perfect cover

Mad props to Larry Fleet for doing this song some justice. His version is great.

Alice In Chains is the best band to ever exist. RIP LS and MS

So many covers get it wrong and I get it because the original is literally untouchable but I gotta say I really appreciate this take. It has the honesty of the original and that's what's usually missing

Layne, Cobain & Cantrell were by far the most gifted musicians of the 90s. I was very, very young when these songs were recorded, but I remember hearing them growing up and there are no other songs that have more meaning than what these guys wrote

This is incredible. Deserves all the views. What's wrong with this world.

My eyes are sweating man 😭 Damn Larry 🤦🏽‍♂️

You nailed it. I would have never thought id hear a cover of that song come so close to perfection. This is on my playlist for sure. Glad it was in my recommended.

My man played the hell out of this song. Somewhere Layne is smiling seeing that his music made such a huge impact on people and that it still lives on.

Don't know who this guy is, but I love this song so much - so happy to hear someone covering it

Yes sir!

You are picking the hell out of that guitar and I love it. Huge Alice fan here. You did great. Much love.
