As talented as Corey is, this just shows how special Layne was.

Laynes voice could never be replicated. I give Corey props, did a great job

[TheRedverb]

Just goes to show how nearly untouchable Layne's vocals were.

[RTC]

Dave played Jerry's solo with real passion. Cool to listen

[heavymetal]

With all these videos coming out we see how Layne was and will always be a legend! The only one!

[metalforlife]

Excellent cover of an excellent song. Taylor really killed it. His enthusiasm really shows through here. May he forever live on in our memories and his musical legacy.

[groovygrovejuiceco]

I’m in utter shock at the passing of Taylor Hawkins. Another rock legend gone too soon. Vale Taylor 😢

[IbrahimLakeShow]

You can never replace Layne, he truly was one of a kind but Corey really did an amazing job with the vocals

[shadcovert]

It's awesome to see Corey sing high like that without having to slide into a scream of sorts. He definitely put the work in to this for sure. That is not at all his normal register, even with Stone Sour. Very impressive.

Dave is always over looked as a great guitarist..love his style..nailed it and great tone as well..

[TonyStark-mnxd]

Hawkins looks like animal from the muppets

[bliss]

I can't stand these comments comparing Corey and Laney...People, just enjoy. There is no comparison...

[seamusburke]

This shows why phrasing is so important when singing. Corey can hit the notes. That's not the issue here. The point is Layne had such specific phrasing as a singer WHILE still hitting the notes, basically no one can match with him without doing an impression.

Just think to yourself how Layne sang the word YEAH and see what I mean.

[vanilllaguerrillla]

Dave nailed the overqualified librarian look.

[creativesundayrebel]

Navarro's sonic shift from the wailing @ 3:25 to the treacherous dive bomb rumble @ 3:28 - 3:33 is something else! The brother's absolutely present, tipping his hat to the original while respectfully adding his voice & voicing to the moment. POWERS!

[dawarnita]

In my opinions .Mr Dave Navarro still one of the best guitar hero legend in alternative rock history

[rishabhbose]

Man even though Corey is beast of a singer with an insane Vocal range but damn the chorus was a lil hard for him too especially the last one. But nonetheless these guys killed it. Goes to show even great singers struggle a bit when it comes to singing something Layne wrote

[nicksplosion]

Makes you understand how powerful Staley was. This is good but it doesn’t hold a candle to the original.

[tomdooley]

Is Dave Navarro wearing "hammer" pants?
Classic!

[sianspherica]

Dave Navarro was the man when I was 13 and he's still the man now that I'm 37
