@invaliduserid5807 3 жыл бұрын

@@tommydacomicguy741 I couldn't recall him really singing in a high voice so I watched a handful of songs on YT and did find some. Prince was very different from Dallas even if they both sing in a high voice for at least some of their songs. Prince was incredibly talented from writing most, if not all, of his own music, to playing any instrument he wanted. From singing as high or low he wanted to "owning" his unique personal style. I would even go as far as to say "there'll never be another guy who can be as unique and talented as Prince." Prince has credibility that Dallas will never match and his personality was bigger than he was. He spent years building his brand and nobody can question the level that he attained. He's not just some guy who totally castrated someone else's song where someone else built their brand on a low, raspy voice. That voice spawned many imitators and that voice didn't "puss up" someone else's song. That voice developed his own style and has many followers who are fiercely loyal. Dallas is no Prince.

I think it's gonna rain When I die She won't let me hide She don't want me to cry Will she keep on the ground, trying to ground me?

Dallas is one of the best live performers of all time. I’ve seen city and colour 5 times and AOF one 1 occasion. He’s like a fine wine vocally. He performed nutshell flawlessly. It’s like he intertwines with your soul

No chord he strikes ever gets boring. You can see the passion and attachment to a guitar. That instrument is literally an extension of his arms. Beautiful passion, and beautiful to hear. Thanks Dallas.

I listen to this 20 times a day. Thank you man. Nutshell hooked me then this pops up a month ago and I have never stopped playing it ever since. It helps me stay in serenity and greatful to be alive. I'm clean three months now and I needed this at the perfect time. Don't stop here man. Your voice makes it easier to let the music and the words drown out the resistance. Thank you

I think Dallas is the most emotionally gripping artist I've ever seen. His myspace transmissions just totally shook me when they came out. And his voice NEVER sounds nothing but absolutely perfect like it was the record.

I was a huge City and Colour fan in my teens, his first three albums are phenomenal. Saw him live once in Boston and he was incredible, what a voice. A little too whiny or emotional for me now but still very talented and beautiful. Little Hell is a masterpiece. But I had stopped listening and forgotten about him over time. Then this comes up on my feed. Wow. Dallas shed a whole new light on this song for me. It feels just like a sad back and forth love song without the reverb and distortion. The notes he hits at the chorus gives me chills. Layne would be thrilled with this! Very imaginative, heart felt and beautiful. Whole new appreciation for this man.There's no Alice without Layne, sorry. Duvall is alright but they should have named themselves something different.

For me, it rained down when Layne passed. Missed them 3 times because he kept going in rehab and then when we were about to see Jerry Cantrell at Livestock, they cancelled because Layne was gone. Was a torrential downpour knowing that myself, his friends, family, and all of his fans would never get to see them all together again. Sad times, man. Sad times. Beautiful though how all of these musicians came together to honor an iconic part of the 90's and beyond. Thank you for that.

@jeremybozarth6682 Жыл бұрын

Oh my fucking god man. Thus is absolutely beautiful and the fact that it's not really changed it's all the same notes just with a slightly slower rhythm and more predominantly sung. Dude I honestly believe Layne would have bowed to this performance almost definitely. Way to home onto the nature of the original song and give it your identifying twist. Honestly so much respect I'm completely blown the Fuck away. I'm a vocalist myself and Layne is definitely top three(I'll never rank those 3 any other way) just top 3 of my all time influences and such an underrated pure singer. That man could do impossible things and it's like for so long it just went unnoticed... Anyway sorry for the rant but thank you so very much for this performance and the you and true emotion you put into it. Absolutely amazing

The best performance of the AiC tribute in MoPOP, even when most of the rest of the tracks are authentic gold. But the biggest gift for me is that it introduced me to Dallas Green and City and Colour: he became indispensable for me in the last year and a half. Amazing and talented musician, he touches the soul. Greetings from Spain.

Bizarrely appropriate rendition. Juxtaposes the gnashing primal original with a eloquently deconstructed version. Unexpectedly beautiful. I know Dallas is talented, but AiC has a significant place in my musical and emotional consciousness, as their music helped articulate emotions and pain I was unable to grasp or face. It's as though the song is presented in a more mature/aged manner, perhaps it's just more of my projection. He did a wonderful job, thank you for this rendition.
