Those that know me already know i rarely play a cover like the original ,and this is no exception , the way i pick made it so difficult to do the g to d as quick as them so i had to slow it all down , this was requested by quite a few people i hope they don't get too upset as to how i played it.

Just like me myself here. I've seen videos of AIC covers that have been posted here not long ago. It's impressive how more people is digging into this band now. Layne Staley deserves to be remembered by the entire world as one of the best singers of all time and take his drug abuse story as a life lesson for millions of kids out there, he's totally a legend.

My local rock station played Hurt as soon as they got their hands on it. I went out and bought the album as fast as I could. I popped it into my alpine and just drove around and listened to the entire CD straight through. When it ended I drove for probably 20 minutes or so in silence. I just had that weird feeling similar to what you have when you wake up from a really strange dream, almost dazed. I got a little of that feeling listening to this.

@donutsacrifice2588 3 жыл бұрын

What i love about Frank's covers is that he takes the song and sort of flips it on its head. The original Nutshell was very Doom-y, whereas Frank's finger picking pattern makes the the guitar melody have a little bit of a hopeful or happy feel, which contrasts sweetly with the despairing lyrics. This, not to mention Frank's chooses to sing the sing differently. It makes me think of a warm summer day where you're sitting on the porch with some sweet tea reflecting on life and just basking in a melancholy calm. Effing brilliant.

@@FrankWatkinson - It's a bit of a long story. Layne had a big addiction problem and it got the best of him. However, Jerry Cantrell wrote the song. A long with almost all of their material. Jerry's probably the most overlooked genius of the grunge era. He could write songs for Layne that spoke to what Layne was going through. Putting someone else's pain into words is pretty amazing when you think about it.
