Spot on! As a young kid I was all about Jim Morrison, even though he was long dead before I was born . Anyways... then the powerhouse that was Layne Staley caught my ear and has continued to hold it all these years later. I will always love Mr. MojoRisin’ , but Layne has pierced my soul like no one before or after . I listen to him daily . Sometimes I put on some Doors, or Scott Weiland in any and all of his different bands and forms , of course some Chris Cornell, but always, always I listen to Layne . R.I.P. to all lost too soon and thanks for being the soundtrack of my life ❤️
Here's a lesson in supporting the opening band. AIC was touring with Van Halen as their opening band and Jerry was raving about how good Eddie Van Halen's sound was and Eddie hands him his guitar and goes "Here, have a go!" Of course when somebody like Eddie Van Halen offers you to play his guitar through his amps, you'd have to be galactically stupid to say "No." Jerry was smitten with the sounds he got from that set up but also heartbroken because he couldn't afford it and tells Eddie so. The tour comes to an end, all the members of AIC go home and Jerry's landlord goes "Ah finally, now you can help me move that stuff that has been delivered to you!" Waiting for Jerry were two Peavey 5150 full stacks and two musicman Eddie Van Halen guitars, a parting gift from Eddie Van Halen himself. And as this footage shows, Jerry didn't let that gesture go to waste.
Fucking right. Staley and Cornell were two of the best rock vocalists of all time... Anyone who is a singer knows how hard it is to hit those high notes in the chorus.
Ya they are just as mindless as those pointing the cameras. Lets not watch the snow but jump around and shove each other about like animals. Look at them most of them can barely watch it, at least those with cameras are paying attention.
I love AIC mostly because of their harmonization..of course Layne's voice was out of the world but wow what a combination! Bassist was also awesome. Love Jerry.
@@RapFan54 You would be correct. We knew that we were a part of and witnessing something very special in musical history. You could feel it. But it was also bleak. And you could feel that too.
I have a love and hate relationship with that time period. I am 52 now, so i was, give or take a year, the same age as jerry at the time. I was 20 years old in 1990. Alot of really nasty shit was going on in the world. War. In iraq. People were dying. The last remnants of new wave music from the 80's came to an end. Gangster rap was big. NWA, Ice Cube, Dr Dre ,Snoop Dog made his first appearance as well during that time. The rise of the guitar was once again on its way. Santana, clapton and all those still alive from the 60's and 70's rock had a revival adding to the protest movement of the time. R&B as well as dance music was still in the charts. Funny enough Pink Floyd released their last music with The Division Bell. That is until last week when Pink Floyd released their first piece of music in over 25 years. Also a protest song benefiting ukraine. Then we had the rodney king affair on TV and the OJ simpson trial on TV. When rodneys verdict of not guilty for the pigs came out all fucking hell broke loose in california at the time. I was living in california at the time. LA broke out in riots and the city burned for days and weeks. Blacks had every reason to be fucking upset. Look at the rodney king beating and tell me they are not guilty. No wonder the city burned. I was doing acid nearly every single weekend as were a lot of kids. Smoking weed just about every day. As were most people in california - it was still illegal back in thsoe days. I did not drink. I had a bad methamphetamine habit. I thought i was going to fucking die with my heart exploding. Then kurt died in 94 and that was pretty much the start of the end of that era. 96 was the AIC unplugged and before that they hardly did any shows at all. I think the last reg tour AIC did was in 93 or 94. I cant rem. But there was a huge gap leading up to the unplugged session. By 97 id say it was already over. It lasted 5 years or a tad bit more. We had 5 glorious years. Now i am a semi-old man with greying hair and i look to todays youth and think to myself why dont they make music like we did. The music is different. Where is the energy? Where is die angst? Now we get perfectly auto-tuned, pitch perfect, instantly auto-corrected singing that has no soul, no life and no substance. Bands are thrown together by committee in talent shows and these are the people sellign music to you. Music has almost lost its soul. There is a reason as to why i still 30 years later listen to AIC on a daily basis.
I was fortunate enough to take voice lessons from the same teacher that Layne did, a guy so revered in the Seattle scene everyone just referred to him as The Maestro. He said Layne was among his top students who took the craft of vocals VERY seriously and embodied the first rule the Maestro imparted to me in my very first lesson: "Singing is controlled screaming". Layne clearly took that to heart and nobody did it better.
As an older guy who was around a lot when these guys were killing it, I gotta say he was talented as all hell. But when that gal of his went to the heavens, he really didnt care anymore.. trust and believe that.
no he didn't. I read that Layne started on drums but one day said he wanted to be a singer and sold his stuff and bought a mic and delay effect. also his friend or sisters respond was "no you cant sing". it takes time to develop a voice
the rock band is such a beautiful piece of art.. so often it is self destructing before our eyes. RIP to the greatest rock singer of our generation, Layne FUCKING Staley..
What I love and most remember about Layne, especially… is how sincere and super humble he was, so polite and gentle asf. He wasn’t stuck up and when he walked by HE said excuse me as he passed by with the sweetest smile, I’ll never forget that. It pains me how his precious life ended. He is irreplaceable! 😔🙏🏽❤️🔥
It's always those who are most humble, sincere and genuine that are destroyed through the disappointment of this cold, heartless and cruel society and its inhabitants!
well, Jerry is responsible for the music and majority of their stuff like this song was solely written by Jerry. Layne provides the voice and occasional lyrics, Jerry is the brains behind the music
Jerry talked in an interview about how Layne was so supportive and encouraged jerry to sing song. Layne daid he digged his vocals style. Layne was a one in a trillion tallent!
The man's voice is just something from out of this world. Never been a singer that can do anything like this since, from the power in the low notes and range in high notes. He takes me to a different place every single time I hear him, 25 years after the first time I heard an AIC song. Amazing.
Chris Cornell's range is C#2-G6, Layne Staley's range is G1-D7, he did those notes live too, he hit D7 when he killed himself, Chris Cornell's range is literally contained in Layne's range. However, Cornell only reaches 4 octaves in one song: Singing professionals have said that Cornell never used his full chest and head singing strength, because if he did, he could perhaps hit more notes, being a baritone he had a lot of technique to go up and down the pitch, without sounding like a little girl. Besides, on Soundgarden's B-side records, Cornell had VOLUME, EXTENSION, DEPTH AND REACH so much after so many years he admits he couldn't reach all the octaves, due to aging and lifestyle, but he was the GREATEST singer of the 90s. Layne might be close, Cornell was IMBATIBLE.
Nearly every single day since 91 i have put AIC on. With some breaks in between. Small ones. Like a week here and there. The MP3 that i have is the original rip of that CD i bought in the 90's.
Love everything about this song, Cantrell’s voice harmonizing with Laynes amazing voice, Cantrell’s melodies on the guitar, Kinneys driving drum beat and, my favorite part of this song personally, Mike’s deliciously grimy and hypnotic baseline. There will never be a band like this again!
In my listening religiously to rock music for over forty years opinion, this ominously awesome band Alice In Chains blows away Nirvana and Guns N Rose's among others.
I don't know why people have to have their phones i for one would be paranoid of it getting broken lol plus I would want to watch the whole concert live not through a screen
Wow dude you must be some kind of Genius or something to figure that out. Who would have thought in 1992 people didn't carry smartphones around to take videos of concerts.
I’m 18 years old and I very love Alice In Chains! I listened they first time in June, 2022. Amazing band! I very love grunge and other rock and metal styles. Hello from Ukraine. Rock forever 🤘🤘🤘
I saw Layne in a three piece suit at the start of their set on Lollapolooza in 93 and it was like 95 degrees that day! Needless to say he took the jacket tie vest and shirt off after playing Would the first song to start the show! Very charismatic singer and great stage presence! His voice very unique and an unbelievable range! RIP Layne!
Know me broken by my master Teach thee on child, love hereafter Into the flood again Same old trip it was back then So I made a big mistake Try to see it once my way Drifting body, it's sole desertion Flying, not yet quite the notion Into the flood again Same old trip it was back then So I made a big mistake Try to see it once my way Into the flood again Same old trip it was back then So I made a big mistake Try to see it once my way Am I wrong? Have I run too far to get home? Have I gone? Left you here alone Am I wrong? Have I run too far to get home? Yeah Have I gone? Left you here alone If I would, could you?
Comparing this performance to the MTV unplugged version gives you such a huge contrast of Layne at the beginning and end of his addiction. It really helps visualise the destruction it had on him, even though his voice remained incredible throughout.
Layne was singing from deep within his soul here. The chorus will be understood by anyone who has battled addiction. Amazing band, those drums are really difficult to do with the toms and that bass tone at the beginning. But Layne was really releasing his anguish here but was also lost in the music at some points. That's part of the beauty of music and this song is a masterpiece.
this is one of these songs you can listen to over an over
Another one of my friends died of a heroin overdose and I play this song over and over just to cope...its hauntingly beautiful
+Elizabeth Clarke Sorry to hear that, it's a great song though...
I have to hear it everyday
Ethan Fletcher i think thats any grunge song
Ethan Fletcher Never get old ... & Layne had quite a different kind of voice which make it even more heart touching
still can't believe they aren't in the Rock hall of fame - one of the best rock bands of all time
they aren't???
Doesn't mean anything. Alot of shit bands in the hall of fame....should tell you it's not about talent
@@MrJbro26 totes but im still gonna complain about it forever 😅
They trying to give Eminem the nod though.
Pffft musical awards are gay overall
that bass tone at the beginning.....extremely under rated
I played the triangle at the beginning of that show.
Yeah.....zackley
Ok
RIP Mike Starr
Simon Shah that growl - timeless and powerful
Layne was kind of like Jim Morrison in the sense that he could just stand there in sunglasses and still be as intense as anything
Exactly. He could just stand there and sing his heart out.
Great comparison, and oh so true!

RastaSaiyaman I did not know that.mad respect from EVH
How fucking cool! Thank you for sharing!He had been there pluss saw the potential in theese guys.What person or band would've done that now? No one!
And the 5150 made it's way to the studio for Tripod
Eddie loved AiC and would even play on stage with them sometimes.
Layne had the perfect grunge voice. RIP
Jacob Stalteri a lot like Cobain. Raspy and raw
Way better than Cobain's voice.
Fucking right. Staley and Cornell were two of the best rock vocalists of all time... Anyone who is a singer knows how hard it is to hit those high notes in the chorus.
Marco Dellorusso can’t forget Steinel
Jacob Stalteri they were metal not grunge
Look at the crowd...we will never have these kinds of crowds in mtv events and VMA's these days...
+crepez RIGHT? THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH CONCERTS NOWADAYS. PEOPLE WOULD RATHER GO TO SAY THEY WENT INSTEAD OF APPRECIATING THE MUSIC.
+Michael Stuhldreer Well, it's pretty hard to appreciate music that sucks. Even the "artists" of today don't seem to appreciate what they do.
Now the lemmings are too busy pointing their god-damned cell phones at the stage to actually enjoy the concert and live in the moment.
south america has some pretty damn good crowds
Ya they are just as mindless as those pointing the cameras. Lets not watch the snow but jump around and shove each other about like animals. Look at them most of them can barely watch it, at least those with cameras are paying attention.
That bass could slay a dragon.
I know, this intro is ducking fire
Man...Layne and Jerry. Two of the greatest voices to ever exist. Their harmonization is heaven!
Total heaven ❤️
I love AIC mostly because of their harmonization..of course Layne's voice was out of the world but wow what a combination! Bassist was also awesome. Love Jerry.
Absolutely 👍
Theres no backing vocals on this song though. Layne wanted to do it Andrew Wood style(this song is about him) and that's by himself.
Personally I think Dave Grohl and Kurt Cobain together sound a bit better.
Man, the grunge era looked like such a fun time.
Fun but dark I imagine
Great and tragic I remember

Such a difficult song to sing but was easy for Layne..
duh he basically wrote it and some help from Cantrell
+Zakalak X Not every song writers is also a singer if they dont have ability to sing
+Zakalak X oops srry watchin it when im smokin pomt doesnt help
he wrote most of their songs.
pantheryou Who Layne Staley? If so, no he didn't.
Layne's voice was out of this world for real. I get goosebumps just hearing this on youtube. I can't imagine what it was witnessing him live.
Oh yeah! I would take Staley over just about anybody.
I wish I had the chance to see him live. I did see like 4 songs by Jerry once. Don't really remember tho. I was goingi
*young
love hear he vice not give me goosebump x

Too bad this isn't grunge then :p
Awww, play nice with the other children :)
***** Except from the part where it's not. :)
it is though
oath
The things I'd do for that voice, I mean how can someone just be born with such an amazing voice?
When it comes to voice, most of them do. My vocal range would never get close to his, he had natural talent.
As an older guy who was around a lot when these guys were killing it, I gotta say he was talented as all hell. But when that gal of his went to the heavens, he really didnt care anymore.. trust and believe that.
Still a mystery tho
no he didn't. I read that Layne started on drums but one day said he wanted to be a singer and sold his stuff and bought a mic and delay effect. also his friend or sisters respond was "no you cant sing". it takes time to develop a voice
@Brendan Mather some people are born with natural musical talents. very rare but it is a thing.
Grunge is a passion not fashion
Well it's a movement so it realise on music,style & attitude
Thts y the big 4 sound different from each other

Yes, but don't forget Chris Cornell!
Layne looks like he’s having a great time. I’m so heartbroken that I never saw them in their prime. I wish I appreciated them more back in the day.
I just started liking them,I used to cringe when.i heard,man in the box! Now,I don't. Want to hear anything else.
Same, I wasn't really into them back then but I always loved this song. Wish I had seen them live.
What I love and most remember about Layne, especially… is how sincere and super humble he was, so polite and gentle asf.

YES.
He was too good and too fragile for this scum earth, but I love his legacy
I love that bass line
The crowd in ecstasy, getting carried along by the passion: the most important natural human instinct. Holy cow, this song will be forever and ever!
If you go to a AIC show this is the one song that you can pretty much count on beig played as it has appeared in nearly every single gig.
Everyone in the crowd is living in the moment. No phones.
it was 93, they didn’t have phones then 😭😭😭
@@hannahbailey6424 😐
WHATEVER.
it was AWESOME
Not negating Layne's greatness as a rock icon at all, but from my eyes, I feel Jerry should be immortalised as much as Layne was/is.
Brian Quigley They complimented each other perfectly.
well, Jerry is responsible for the music and majority of their stuff like this song was solely written by Jerry. Layne provides the voice and occasional lyrics, Jerry is the brains behind the music
Marcus Starman Jerry isn’t a lead singer he harmonizes with Layne
Nope. No way.....
Brian Q agreed.
Don't know how he can scream and do those distinct tones with his voice and have every note slot in so damn well...
davidwbranham Layne Staley and his vocal talent was a freak of nature.
davidwbranham he is giving his throat i every song.how does he do?NOBODI KNOWS
That's just his natural style. Can't be replicated. Sounds effortless but bloody raw.
his natural tone is so unique!! It really sets him apart!! U cant replicate tone!!
Lance's voice was literally another instrument for the band
Exactly!

Jerry is the most underrated guitarist in music he needs more attention
@Jerry Cantrell it’s the man, the myth, the legend.
Jerry talked in an interview about how Layne was so supportive and encouraged jerry to sing song. Layne daid he digged his vocals style. Layne was a one in a trillion tallent!
No phones in hand. Just people living in the moment. I miss the 90s.
Yep no one being woke
My God what a bass what a voice what a riff (...)….
Fookin' unreal!!!!
Drums too. Whole band was operating on all cylinders between '92 and '93.
Staley ran too far to get home :/ and he left us all alooonee...
good comment. unfortunatelly, so true
"Don't follow"...
If I would, could you?
At 1:17 you can just see the proudness in Jerry's eyes looking at the fans and realizing what an amazing band he has formed
The man's voice is just something from out of this world. Never been a singer that can do anything like this since, from the power in the low notes and range in high notes. He takes me to a different place every single time I hear him, 25 years after the first time I heard an AIC song. Amazing.
Youre not the only one...I go trough the space in the universe when I hear this song and no need of drugs or other shit
Cough cough Chester Bennington
@@samanthawilson5585 Agree. Chester Bennington could do it all!
When he nails that high note at 2:00, one of the best vocalists of all time.
You ever hear paul McCartney sing amazed
Chris Cornell's range is C#2-G6, Layne Staley's range is G1-D7, he did those notes live too, he hit D7 when he killed himself, Chris Cornell's range is literally contained in Layne's range.

Yup. Them bones too. Like a cold beer on a hot day.
Yes,yes
Indeed it is.
Jerry played so many awesome riffs but it was like he was never trying... unreal
WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT THIS MUCH SOUND COULD COME FROM ONE GUITAR - ONE BASS - AND ONE DRUM SET!!!!!!!! WHAT A BAND WHAT A BAND
Still listening and watching this performance in 2021.:So addicting.
Ur not the only one..
Nearly every single day since 91 i have put AIC on. With some breaks in between. Small ones. Like a week here and there. The MP3 that i have is the original rip of that CD i bought in the 90's.
The extra push Layne put in those high notes belts plus the grit is simply so expressively raw!!.
That high clean note just after the raspier one. Unmatchable ❤
Layne could seriously sing. Such a tragic loss.
Love everything about this song, Cantrell’s voice harmonizing with Laynes amazing voice, Cantrell’s melodies on the guitar, Kinneys driving drum beat and, my favorite part of this song personally, Mike’s deliciously grimy and hypnotic baseline. There will never be a band like this again!
I just love the sludgy live gritty sound so fucking raw god I miss my era of this time great ass music
I'm in sober living day 6. Thank you guys for writing all these amazing songs I draw from.
Jerry was a hottie.
Ya he is!!!
Still is but here... he was 27, wow, just to be young again:-)
IS
Smoking 🔥🚒
he still is lol
That finale. Everyone stop's whatsoever they were doing. And listen that:
IF. I. WOULD. COULD. YOOOUUUUU!
it travels through time. That emotion.
Only Layne could hack a dart and hit a high-notes in the same minute
What a cool sound. Hearing this in 1993 would have been like hearing Jimi Hendrix when all you've known in The Beatles.
I remember watching this live on MTV new years eve
90s really was the peak of society, pretty much the last generation of major label artists not lip syncing or using live autotune
Every time I listen to this awesome song I shake my head like layne
His voice is so powerful yet beautiful at the same time. Not an easy song to sing!
Such a solid performance by everyone. RIP Mike Start and Layne Staley.
The harmonization from jerry and Layne is beautiful!!
Incredible voice, lyrics, instruments, and energy. I love the 90's.
La mejor canción de alice in chains. Puedo escucharla 1000 veces y no me aburre.☺
This band was and is filled with so much talent.
Every member of AIC was and is extremely talented and what they did they will never be another band quite like them.R.I.P Layne and Mike
Layne Staley made the first 45 seconds sound better, than the studio version just by putting in his own little sounds in it... fucking tremendous
Layne and Cantrell.......fucking LEGENDS!!!!
Damn, I love Layne
Lexi Peterson Damn, I love you! :)
One of the best songs ever written in my opinion. Had this song as my ringtone for years i will never change it.
Came to see if the BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK then held up live around 2:25. It did. Bye.

What the world could do with music like this today!
30 years later. Still a great song and great performance. Miss these guys. Gone way to soon.
No doubt
1990 - 1996 was the best era of music 😤💪🏼
Kinney always puts on a good show on drums 🥁
wonderful, growling, menacing undertone on that bass line.
Gives me so much goosebumbs

Have I gone?
Left you here alone
Am I wrong?
Have I run too far to get home? Yeah
Have I gone?
Left you here alone
If I would, could you?
It's a perfect song because the lyrics apply to so many things these days.
Copy and paste from google. Yer a genius
I still miss this guy.
These dudes are straight legit! Some talented individuals… you can really feel when you hear Alice In Chains…
One of the best songs they ever did on my top 3 Alice in chains songs for sure 😎
One of my favorite bands ever, listening to them since the 90s never gets old.
Comparing this performance to the MTV unplugged version gives you such a huge contrast of Layne at the beginning and end of his addiction. It really helps visualise the destruction it had on him, even though his voice remained incredible throughout.
I have been listening to Alice in chains since I was a child and it is truly one of the best performances I've ever seen
Happy Birthday Layne, miss you man!
Layne was singing from deep within his soul here. The chorus will be understood by anyone who has battled addiction. Amazing band, those drums are really difficult to do with the toms and that bass tone at the beginning. But Layne was really releasing his anguish here but was also lost in the music at some points. That's part of the beauty of music and this song is a masterpiece.
Greatest vocalist of all time in rock.
Sorry, Chris Cornell is the GOAT.
The best show forever...Rest in peace Layne
I had no idea Cantrell sang the verses
Yep. I think it was actually Layne who talked Jerry into doing the verses.
they sound great together, don't they? it is the kind of harmony that cannot be duplicated.
Lmao what year where you born!? This is a harmonizing group always has been since they form.
Lots of people don't know that, and it's fucking crazy. He was so good with Layne. Down in a Hole is the same way. Jerry sang a lot.
Tylers Nason no need to be a jerk about it.
They sound even better live
what a voice...
Layne’s live improvs always come out so clean!
Drums,crowd..everything...damn
Such a great live performance!
So thankful I lived thru the time when rock ruled the airwaves. Nothing today is as cool.
