This kid sounds VERY SIMILAR TO Layne Staley

I sat in on a tune with some buds of mine at their gig this weekend. This kid (22-23) sat in with us on some AIC and kills it.

Vocals were really loud cause a girl sat in just before and was quiet, and I didn’t get a chance to turn the mic down.

 
Eh, he sounds bad ass. You guys are the types that stand in corners with arms folded judging everything.

Let’s see your gig videos, please. I’d like to hear your singer’s superior vocals, so I can hear what perfection sounds like. 😂

I can't sing for shit, but I can hear. I'm sure he's a fine singer. But Objectively, his voice fell apart a bit when the grit came. You make a HUGE claim that he sounded EXACTLY like one of the most iconic rock voices in the past 30 years. I didn't hear that. I don't have a dog in this argument. Obviously you do. W/E

It’s ok. My claim is simply my opinion, which means nothing. I think he’s awesome.

Hope you can find some time today to relax and maybe get a hug. You seem a bit uptight. 🤗

Edit: I updated the thread title. Hope that helps you a bit. 😂
 
Tone monster is correct he fell apart some when the grit started. Some pitch issues started happening. Its on par with an american idol contestant or run of the mill tribute act singer. If he had his own band hed be better, but i bet he doesnt which is why he wanted to sit in to begin with.
 
You’d be playing the red, black and the blues like never before, after my amp explodes in your face!
Exploded amp? Didn't know you were a Deluxe Reverb guy. How many more years will it be before you get the band together?:LOL:
 
I love it. This kid can peel the paint of the walls. He sat in on this one song kinda cold, and gets all this criticism from a bunch of bedroom players. Hardly anything good to say about him, just negative. He sounds miles better than the dude singing in AIC now. IMHO.
Not everyone here is a bedroom player and even so plenty of horrible bands have lots of gigs so that doesn't really function as unquestionable qualifier. Your original post implied he was Layne's clone. Since we haven't seen other videos of his awesome vocal chops we only have your video to go by. Did he do good for the usual bar person sitting in? Yes, pretty good. Was it Layne reincarnated, no. I haven't seen the new AIC guy so no comment there other than it's possible you occasionally fold your arms when watching others too. :LOL:
