Dinosaurs is the album that made me an AIC fanatic. I've known them since 92 when I first heard Angry Chair and got their albums but I was more into heavier stuff back then. The new albums to me are gold
@@the92project Angry Chair was also the first song I heard by them. Then heard Man in the Box and decided to buy the Dirt CD. Best $11 I ever spent as a kid
@@the92project Oh yeah! Shit! I forgot, I did actually but the cassette before I got the CD. Played the cassette to the point it got worn out then I bought the CD.
I like AIC old bass lines much more. While Mike Inez' bass lines are way smoother I think they are less recognizable than Starr's. I mean Real Thing is also basically a bass-line riff. Would is also heavily influenced by a cool bass line. Bleed the freak has also very nice parts in the bass. I think Mike Inez ideas were much more unique. New stuff I hear always the bass follows the guitar parts most of the time. Or maybe also Jerry Cantrell's taste changed over time?
LOVE take her out. I actually put it #2 on my "Top 75 AIC songs" I did on my other youtube channel a bunch of years back. BGWTB is up there with their best albums IMO. Great tone and accuracy!
I appreciate how much attention you put into making sure certain strings either do or don’t ring out just to make it that much more accurate. I’m super ocd about it myself and it’s one of the first things I nit-pick when I watch a cover of something lol
Thanks a lot for that, although on this video I have a few mistakes😂. Some really bad lol. It's difficult to do this stuff on one take but that's the challenge. Plus I bet if we could hear an isolated live track by Jerry we would hear more than a few little thingies here and there that sound abrasive lol. Perfect can be sterile too😁
@@the92project Man I didn't get hard into Alice in Chains hard until my sophomore year of high school in 98. Became my obsession, my identity, my favorite band of all time. Loved all of Jerry's solo stuff too. Finally got tickets to see atleast Jerry solo in 2002 with nickelback at hard live in Orlando. Saw him with William shortly after Layne died and it was great but devastating knowing I'd never see Alice in chains live. Fast-forward 2010. Alice in Chains were back, 3rd row Constitution Hall Washington DC, first time seeing Alice in chains and first song they played was all secrets known. It was amazing and an amazing night.
Technically their best album imo. I honestly don't care that Layne is not on it, Jerry is a great lead and William just rounds it up. It sounds amazing
It is. Actually I quit all the Facebook pages that supposedly are about Alice In Chains. They are all mostly about Layne, and they rarely support the band TODAY. You know what's really weird though? In the 90s Layne wasn't even "that" popular, proof is that the Grammys didn't even mention him when he died. The whole Layne cult happened more recently. It happens with a lot of dead musicians that become bigger dead than they were alive.
@@the92project Yeah. And they post on current Alice videos what I mentioned before. There's a few girls that post things like Layne was their soulmate/them being able to save him/his friends didn't care or shit like that. But dude, he had 13 stints in rehab and 3 overdoses before the drugs finally caught up with him. They got people outside the band to check on him because he wouldn't give them the time of day. That's very unfair to them.
@@the92project The only way to get him off the junk would've been putting him in a coma to avoid withdrawal and shipping him to the middle of fucking nowhere with nothing but food. Did he want to die? That's my question. He was put on suicide watch after Demri died, but he lasted +5 years more on drugs and videogames. Maybe he finally took a chance and commited suicide after he told Mike Demri had visited him... who the fuck knows. A terrible loss, no doubt. And a terrible drug.
Sunshine doesn't get enough love.
True! But these are all Eb standard songs😂
“Take her out” is highly overlooked. For me it is a classic song. Right from the first time I heard it
I love THO, specially the solo which I played here. Very emotional slow grind
It's great that you're showing love to current Alice. Jerry is a riff machine. Is it safe to say that the "Died" riff is overlooked?
Overlooked yes but somewhat understandbly so, because of not being on a proper record
1:56 favorite riff from BGWTB
One of my fav AIC of all time, it's monstrous
It’s an amazing riff dude!
Amongst all the mentioned riffs, I just love to play outro lick from Breath On A Window, it's beautiful.
Amazing lick, missed something like that on Fog
0:37 - Take Her Out
1:29 - All Secrets Known
2:14 - Lesson Learned
2:44 - Breath on a Window
Real thing is the best song in facelift.
Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, bad Alice In Chains Riff, Tooth Fairy.
After life
Yeeesh! I just did an AIC tone video myself. I've been just jamming these guys hard! Jerry is the Tony Iommi of the 90's!
I don't particularly enjoy most of the newer albums but I can agree that 'Take Her Out' and 'All Secrets Known' are heavily underrated

Real thing is my favorite song ever!!
And it is underrated unfortunately 😔
Wish more people would know about these songs!
The latter records are full of masterpieces that don't get any live play unfortunately. They always do 3/4 of every show for Layne era tunes
@@the92project true man! Aic don't get much love nowadays. And yes their newer albums are gold!!!
It's hard to give justice to these songs without Layne live... I have Facelift in my car on repeat!
LOVE take her out. I actually put it #2 on my "Top 75 AIC songs" I did on my other youtube channel a bunch of years back. BGWTB is up there with their best albums IMO. Great tone and accuracy!
Definitely loved breath on a window the best.
That's cool!
Ending of the song is something special. That emotional switch...damn. Doesn't get enough recognition.
Now we need overlooked riffs in D/C#
You read my mind😂
@@the92project 80% of degradation trip!
@@whirl a lot of Dtrip is D standard
@@the92project yee i love it because of how well dark tones werr captured in it
Man, Real Thing is my jam!
The lyrics are so great, too!
@@fastfoodi also love “I know something” for similar reasons.
Damn Jerry was so bluesy back then.
@@Rubenbauer80 that’s one of the reasons I love facelift so much. There was a bit of variety on that album.

All secrets known!
That song always reminds me of Queen's innuendo. It must be in the same key and similar tempo. Also the solo has a noticeable Brian May influence

Super cool story! Thanks for sharing
Great tone pal!
I knew it was gonna be good when he started with real thing
That was a lesson learned!!
Great stuff thx for posting
Real Thing is underrated as fuck.
I think Fly is a little slept on tbh
True!
bgwtb is underrated as frick man just because it doesnt have layne doesnt mean its bad
Technically their best album imo. I honestly don't care that Layne is not on it, Jerry is a great lead and William just rounds it up. It sounds amazing
@@the92project Yup. The "No Layne/No Alice" club is a bit extreme.

real thing...
you should use 7 and 5 on the A string... instead of 2 and 0 on the D.
at least it is how it is played by cantrell.
Thanks for pointing that out! I still prefer 2-0 on D. Better movement economy and easier to sing over
@@the92project i played it just like you till i watched live at the moore theatre and saw jerry played it with 7 and 5 on A...
What pickups are on that Eastman? Thanks!
Lol I honestly don’t remember 😂
Could you pass me the tabs?
