Steemit Open Mic Week 48: Rooster by Alice In Chains

in #openmic7 years ago

Jerry Cantrell wrote this about his father's experience in the Vietnam War. I loved doing this song, no matter how many repeats were required I always seemed to feel its energy. I remember my dad playing this in the car when I was a child and hearing that harmony between Cantrell and Layne Staley for the first time.

Thanks

One of my favorite songs… So glad you covered it Calum and if I may say so, you nailed it quite nicely! I could feel you “feelin’ it” deep down – Awesome cover dude!…

Oh thanks mate

Niiiicccceeee!!! Love some Alice In Chains! In fact it's my favorite band ever! And you did amazing! Good luck!

Cheers, Jen. Thanks a bunch

Great Job man and I love the Vantage Acoustic. I used to have one of their Electrics that was just awesome (though neck heavy).

God, you've got good eyes to recognise it's a Vantage. I didn't even think they were a known brand. I picked it up second hand.
The action is a little high but I love the narrow body, very comfortable to play.

👏👏👏 Brilliant spot there Callum. Great voice you have and obviously a damn good song. Bang on 👍

Cheers, Geoff. The mechanics behind that pedal steel guitar you've got are awesome!

Excellent job, NOT an easy song to sing, and it's one of my favourite Alice'nChains songs!! I know the song's not about an actual rooster, yet, me n my Roo approve!!!
