Me and Layne had a 'couple' weekends of debauchery together. Ya, I too am crying now. My nephew a huge Staind fan introduced this too me today. He has the band and members tat'td on his back and he knows my history with Layne. This is SO RIGHT and touching.
This is a good cover. AIC unplugged in 96 was by far the absolute best version. Layne gave it everything he had. Don't know if there could be a bad version of this song. The lyrics are haunting memories of what Layne was dealing with.
Its 4shur slower I agree n I hear wat u mean n I didnt notice till I read ur message..lol...thanks alot dude now its gunna bug me every time I hear this version..lol..
You cannot find singers that sing from the heart. Aaron Lewis is o me of them that sings from the bottom of his heart specially when Alice in chains meant a lot to him. So sad he is now a country singer but I'm still hanging in hope that I'll get to see him with staind playing gems like this once again even better if is acoustic.
He changes the lyrics intentionally as a tribute to Layne, Aaron knows he can never sing it like Layne so he changed on line. Layne is no longer FACING THE PATH OF TIME, now he is TRACING THE TRACKS OF TIME since he is no longer with us. So the change was done on purpose.
Staind are so awesome how much feeling and emotion they put into this cover and "Black" by Pearl Jam. It feels just as good as listening to the original
@@alandonaldson9555 should've stick to the original wherein after the verse the leads starts playing the solo.IMO the bass in the verse should be the one carrying the song.
***** That's your opinion and it's perfectly fine. I personally think layne has one of the best voices ever. The way it captures the pain shared through the lyrics in songs like Same in you is just amazing
+ColdNovemberRain from a musical standpoint, Layne has an incredible range and a vibrato that can't even be compared to, that's a fact jack. You don't have to like him but he was a freak of nature from a musical standpoint, more astounding than 98% of vocalists out there. That's why a lot of today's vocalist have such respect for him.
I have to say that this band, in my whole 20 years, has not only been my favorite..it's gotten rid of my headaches and still kicks ass to this day. I can't imagine any other band out today that even comes close to aaron.
when i first heard this my buddy randomly threw it on when we were camping in northern Canada, and a few of us were on LSD. Needles to say this song with some of my best friends in the middle of the woods, underneath the Milky Way was a life changing moment. Will never forget it!
Tracing the tracks of Layne's time on this earth, his pain, fear, and isolation. It's a tribute in the truest sense, from one kindred spirit to another.
amazing......Layne rest in peace, and may Aaron and Staind continue to make us Alice in Chains fans proud..as other fans says.....tribute is ... my fav.song played from 1 from my fav.band......dont know what to say.......................
How are they vastly underrated....everyone pays tribute to them, they had a long career, platinum and gold records, and they sold over 40 million all over the united states, and layne was named somewhere at the top of the rock vocalist charts. That doesn't sound underrated at all, but it is nice to hear tributes and respect spreading around for them so I do still agree. RIP Layne; you were one of the best
at first, before hearing this cover, i was a bit sarcastic because i never heard a good cover of any of alice in chains songs, but when the leadsinger opens his mouth for the first line, i was stunned, his voice is perfect for this cover! Layne Staley, we will never forget your influence on Alice in Chains and the modern music. i hope you have found peace
I doubt I'd be alive if it wasn't for Layne, Aaron, and Shaun, they all know how to reach into every person that listens to their music, it's a lifesaver to some
Aaron Lewis did great.Glad he actually appreciates Layne.He looked up to Layne and used him as a role model and obviously it paid off for him. R.I.P. Layne Staley.Gone but never forgotten ):
Aaron does amazing covers, but no one can do this song as beautifully and raw as Layne. He was such an amazing talent. I wish he could have fought his demon of drug abuse because I truly believe he would have been legendary. RIP Layne... your still a rock star.
I have now heard this from of course my favorite AIC, Seether - did it live at the White River Amphitheater, and now Staind. I love the song, But forever and always Layne will never be bested.
Wow. Just... Wow. Aaron lewis is quite possibly the only one i can see pulling this off and being magnificent with it. Two of the most emotionally intense lyricists in music just lived as one onstage. Simply. Amazing.
aron lewis looked up to layne and he did this cover just so everyone would remember the impact he had on the society of rock and this generation. rock on staind. badass cover!
Yeh, i'm pretty impressed with this. Out of all the bands who've covered Nutshell since Staley's death, Staind have done the best job. Although I don't particularly appreciate their own tunes, the dude singing does have an awesome voice.
This is such a great tribute, done with respect and reverance to Layne. Probably not just my favorite AIC song but favorite in general. Gives me goosebumps
You dont have to save lives or be a super human comic character to be a hero. Layne is a hero to some people for what he expressed. He put his soul on his albums, to show people what he was going through in hopes kids wouldnt make the same mistake he did. He knew it was going to kill him, he used he music, his lyrics, and his image to say "dont become me." He didnt glorify heroin addiction at all. Layne is a hero to some, whether he is to you or not.
i actually learned of alice in chains (errr i'm not really into music until recently) through this cover. someone sent me a link of this video and i was hooked ever since i saw this video and now i'm a fan of Alice in Chains... RIP layne
Of course no one can replace Layne, but that is why it is a tribute... This I think is the best cover that I have heard of this song. He actually sings it with emotion, and that is what makes this song so great... Awesome job.
I love covers that do this song justice
easily my most favorite and respected cover of this song.
Crying right now. Layne you will be forever missed and never forgotten.
Me and Layne had a 'couple' weekends of debauchery together. Ya, I too am crying now. My nephew a huge Staind fan introduced this too me today. He has the band and members tat'td on his back and he knows my history with Layne. This is SO RIGHT and touching.
Brittany Fahs Actually, yes, he will be forgotten, everyone will be forgotten, it will all just end.
11Cobra lol no shit
elninjalaranja wow ok 😒
Brittany Fahs Hi. What is the Story of this Song ?
first cover that I see that captures laynes emotion
Have you heard the City & Color (Dallas Green) cover? He did a pretty good job as well
Corey Taylor does an awesome cover of this as well. AIC is a huge influence of his
Dallas Green does an amazing job, he has that same haunting emotion behind the song
Layne would be proud by this cover
Staind always has the best choices for covers and does such a great job with them. RIP Layne
Aaron Lewis never fails to amaze
agreed
-Those who fight for life will find a flavor, that the sheltered will never know...
Fred Peterson good words!! 👍
Awsome words man
The Dallas Green version is my favorite. He pulled it from his soul. Any version of this song tears me apart.
RIP Nutshell Lyrics..... tracks of time.....
This is a good cover. AIC unplugged in 96 was by far the absolute best version. Layne gave it everything he had. Don't know if there could be a bad version of this song. The lyrics are haunting memories of what Layne was dealing with.
I would have liked it better at original speed, but Ive always loved Aarons voice. Not as much as Layne's, but Aaron does his own thing damn well.
Unless his tweaks of the song are making me think its slower? idk. I miss Layne though. I know that much.
Its 4shur slower I agree n I hear wat u mean n I didnt notice till I read ur message..lol...thanks alot dude now its gunna bug me every time I hear this version..lol..
Great job. They make Layne proud. RIP Layne Thomas Staley 1967-2002 Michael Christopher Starr 1966-2011
Aaron Lewis can cover anything and make it sound amazing,
Truth spoken
Great cover this guy has a big variety he can sing almost anything
Yeah
2020 still love me some Staind
AWESOME!!!best cover of this song even the new singer for AN'C can't sing this song this good!!
Only Aaron Lewis can cover this song to perfection!
You cannot find singers that sing from the heart. Aaron Lewis is o me of them that sings from the bottom of his heart specially when Alice in chains meant a lot to him. So sad he is now a country singer but I'm still hanging in hope that I'll get to see him with staind playing gems like this once again even better if is acoustic.
i love this cover. staind did an amazing cover
Beautiful. Thanks Aaron for sharing your talent with this in this amazing tribute to the great Layne Staley.
Wow ! that was awesome. This is the best version of Nurshell. That was Layne's song and Aaron Lewis does a great job .
Check out Dallas Green, & Corey Talyor. They do great covers of this song as well.
He changes the lyrics intentionally as a tribute to Layne, Aaron knows he can never sing it like Layne so he changed on line. Layne is no longer FACING THE PATH OF TIME, now he is TRACING THE TRACKS OF TIME since he is no longer with us. So the change was done on purpose.
Staind are so awesome how much feeling and emotion they put into this cover and "Black" by Pearl Jam. It feels just as good as listening to the original
Staind loves AIC. They put every bit of love and respect for them in this cover. I am truly amazed. Way to go Aaron.
Aaron Lewis can do any cover and sound amazing!
Awesome cover, Honour to Layne:-)......BUT, That lead guitar is pissing me off!!!!!
the lead sounds so good lol I love it
It’s unnecessary that’s all...in all honestly we just wanna hear how well he’s covering the song...they’re all talented don’t get me wrong though
@@alandonaldson9555 should've stick to the original wherein after the verse the leads starts playing the solo.IMO the bass in the verse should be the one carrying the song.
The one from the compilation The Singles has a better lead guitar harmony
Favorite cover ever, listen to it everyday at work.
Goosebumps!! R.I.P Layne!!! Never, never forgotten! thanks Aaron
Arron Lewis sings everybody's song better than themselves
No one could sing that song like Layne, Aaron does a great version though
lol no.
***** That's your opinion and it's perfectly fine. I personally think layne has one of the best voices ever. The way it captures the pain shared through the lyrics in songs like Same in you is just amazing

Why Can't I Think Of A Name? Dont respect that idiot fucking bastard
I'm going to catch shit, but I don't care. HUGE AiC fan, but I like their cover better. There, I said it.
I have to say that this band, in my whole 20 years, has not only been my favorite..it's gotten rid of my headaches and still kicks ass to this day. I can't imagine any other band out today that even comes close to aaron.
SOMETIMES A COVER IS A TRIBUTE TO AN ARTIST THEY RESPECT. LIVE WITH IT.
Junkies unite
Agreed 110%... Layne's voice put me in a completely different and beautiful state of mind and the music was just incredible
Man I love the bass in this song.Amazing song covered by an amazing artist =]
amazing....... again and again................
when i first heard this my buddy randomly threw it on when we were camping in northern Canada, and a few of us were on LSD. Needles to say this song with some of my best friends in the middle of the woods, underneath the Milky Way was a life changing moment. Will never forget it!
One of the best and most unique singers...ever.
Such a chilled out song
It's awesome
Tracing the tracks of Layne's time on this earth, his pain, fear, and isolation. It's a tribute in the truest sense, from one kindred spirit to another.
AiC forever... this song hits me hard. Well done Staind, great cover.
On of the best AIC covers ever! Great!
amazing......Layne rest in peace, and may Aaron and Staind continue to make us Alice in Chains fans proud..as other fans says.....tribute is ... my fav.song played from 1 from my fav.band......dont know what to say.......................
WOW... Man... This is just... Wow... Love it. Did it justice!
How are they vastly underrated....everyone pays tribute to them, they had a long career, platinum and gold records, and they sold over 40 million all over the united states, and layne was named somewhere at the top of the rock vocalist charts.

RIP Layne; you were one of the best
I love when that bass comes in !
RIP Layne,keep your music shining down on us.great cover
at first, before hearing this cover, i was a bit sarcastic because i never heard a good cover of any of alice in chains songs, but when the leadsinger opens his mouth for the first line, i was stunned, his voice is perfect for this cover!
Layne Staley, we will never forget your influence on Alice in Chains and the modern music. i hope you have found peace
Very well done, I got the same feeling listening to this like I did from the original on MTV's Unplugged with Alice In Chains. Haunting performance.
This is one of my favorite songs from Alice in chains and staind you couldn't have performed it any better
I doubt I'd be alive if it wasn't for Layne, Aaron, and Shaun, they all know how to reach into every person that listens to their music, it's a lifesaver to some
amazing cover
very well done
gives me chills everytime i heer this song
Aaron Lewis did great.Glad he actually appreciates Layne.He looked up to Layne and used him as a role model and obviously it paid off for him. R.I.P. Layne Staley.Gone but never forgotten ):
Aaron does amazing covers, but no one can do this song as beautifully and raw as Layne. He was such an amazing talent. I wish he could have fought his demon of drug abuse because I truly believe he would have been legendary. RIP Layne... your still a rock star.
This is one of the best covers of any song
Awesome from the beggining to the end !
hauntingly beautiful.....
I have now heard this from of course my favorite AIC, Seether - did it live at the White River Amphitheater, and now Staind. I love the song, But forever and always Layne will never be bested.
Job well done Aaron, song is amazing! Staind can't ever go wrong in my eyes.
alice in chains and staind are my 2 favorite bands. This is absolutly amazing. RIP layne staley. my heroes
Just amazing!!!!!
one of the better covers i've heard in a long long time.
just...simply amazing.....dn what to say....
Got a hunch that Layne's soul might be hearing this somewhere.
Talent paying homage to talent.
Such a cool cover song.
This gives me chills. I saw Alice in Chains in 2006 and it made me tear up to see them without Layne. The show was still amazing though.
Wow. Just... Wow. Aaron lewis is quite possibly the only one i can see pulling this off and being magnificent with it. Two of the most emotionally intense lyricists in music just lived as one onstage. Simply. Amazing.
Awesome cover of an awesome song by an awesome band .
aron lewis looked up to layne and he did this cover just so everyone would remember the impact he had on the society of rock and this generation. rock on staind. badass cover!
Awesome cover, I am a huge AIC fan and this is pleasing to the ears. Thumbs up!!
this song is an awesome tribute to Layne, RIP Layne, you left us but your music remains.
This is just awesome !!!
Man this almost brings a tear to my eye.
Great cover and amazing band.....
Nailed it. Pure and simple.
Aaron never ceases to amaze me
the best cover of this tune i have to admit!
His voice absolutely nails it.
One of the greatest songs of all time replicated with justice. A rarity. Nice work guys.
Yeh, i'm pretty impressed with this.
Out of all the bands who've covered Nutshell since Staley's death, Staind have done the best job.
Although I don't particularly appreciate their own tunes, the dude singing does have an awesome voice.
i just saw aaron lewis play this live 2 hrs ago. it was freakin awesome. super emotional and well played
Epic cover.. Lewis's voice is just as amazing...
I am glad we finally have a musician on board!
yah i agree, miss that guy every time i hear anything from AIC. :( Nobody can replace him, he was in a league of his own. RIP!
you nailed it!! he was honest, flawed, and begging others "don't be like me"...SOMEONE GETS IT!.. R.I.P. Layne
that was awesome man !!!!! best cover
This is such a great tribute, done with respect and reverance to Layne. Probably not just my favorite AIC song but favorite in general. Gives me goosebumps
You dont have to save lives or be a super human comic character to be a hero. Layne is a hero to some people for what he expressed. He put his soul on his albums, to show people what he was going through in hopes kids wouldnt make the same mistake he did. He knew it was going to kill him, he used he music, his lyrics, and his image to say "dont become me." He didnt glorify heroin addiction at all. Layne is a hero to some, whether he is to you or not.
I'm glad to see aaron did this one he grew up on AIC it is so fitting we miss you layne & mike
Totally agree...he was one the best singers
i actually learned of alice in chains (errr i'm not really into music until recently) through this cover. someone sent me a link of this video and i was hooked ever since i saw this video and now i'm a fan of Alice in Chains...
RIP layne
...just amazing...if some1 must do a cover of this song..this MUST be STAIND
Amazing cover! Layne is proud for sure.
Awesome cover Love both bands
this is an awesome tribute, very good job.
excellent tribute. thumbs up for these guys.
Of course no one can replace Layne, but that is why it is a tribute...
This I think is the best cover that I have heard of this song. He actually sings it with emotion, and that is what makes this song so great...
Awesome job.
Staind did a stand up job covering Nutshell by AIC. Beautiful rendition.
being covered by a great band is the biggest form of flattery. Layne would be proud
Goosebumps!
Adema did an amazing cover of Nutshell live. I thought only Layne could bring me to tears... I was humbly proven wrong.
