In 1992 I woke up, going to the first day of my freshman year of high school. While eating breakfast this song came on MTV. I'm 45 now and I still remember this like yesterday. Time is terrifying.
Watching music videos before school was my favorite thing. Even with sings that I didn't like sometimes had amusing videos. I was the last generation to appreciate this . I was 5 when this came out , loved this band
Dig Up Dem Bones was a bad-ass album- I used to think Seattle Rock was uh not that good, but, it's actually bad-assed! Too bad most of the legends passed on, (I think the only Seattle Rock band that's still survivin' is Eddie Vedder, of Pearl Jam..)
i turn 30 in august. time is very very terrifying indeed. i feel like it was just yesterday that i found out layne passed. i was 9 years old.
im 26 years old and its my first time listening to this lol
@@itzapril5321 enjoy your 20s they go quick
When I was 18, we said goodbye to Layne, and I was really sad. I read that layne had a foundation made in his name. I wrote a small letter to them, explaining how much Layne meant to all of us, and a lot of our youth struggles with drugs, depression, etc. I wrote that I was an addict too. Since I was 15. I also sent $1. I was definitely not expecting a letter written back to me from Layne's mom. Her name is Nancy McCullum, and she runs the foundation. She sent me a poster of aic from the Moore Theater, some stickers, and in solemn disbelief, the program from Laynes celebration of life (or funeral) The program had the names Chris Cornell, Mark Lanagan from Screaming Trees, and Nancy and Ann Wilson from Heart. Chris Cornell and Heart did a cover of "Ring them Bells" written by Bob Dylan, and Mark Lanagan read a poem Layne had written. Anyway, I never thought that sending $1 to Laynes foundation would merit anything! Nancy, Laynes mom said encouraging words to me in regards to my opiate dependency. After years of on again off again substance abuse, I'm finally 150 days sober. It gets better. Thank you Nancy, Laynes mom, for the awesome keepsakes, and for giving birth and raising my favorite singer. God bless and take life one day at a time.
Very happy to listen that you're sober now bro. And it was such a nice gesture from his mother.
Keep it up man ! Life can be cruel , but heads up , life is an open road . Stay safe !
*Congratulations*
I'd love to hear the poem?
Awesome share. All the best
Sounds like a very cool family to be honest! What an amazing impact on music he made!
Who else is here in 2024?

Yepp 😊

Yessir
The real sadness behind this song is so profound. Layne wore sunglasses to mask his highness while filming this music video. The song is well-known to be written about close friend and fellow grunge frontman Andrew Wood who died from a heroin overdose. It is a direct embodiment of the feeling of addiction and succumbing to this disease wondering if its ever too late to turn back. Jerry Cantrell wrote it who probably also had his fair share of these struggles.
Layne's performance in this song is so captivating because he is walking the exact path he is singing about, battling the same battle that his friend did and lost. Of course, Layne's passing was heartbreaking and difficult for those around him who saw his decline and wanted to help. So sad that addiction and depression causes you to isolate and mainly hang with other addicts just like what happened with Kurt and Mike Starr. Mike was supposedly the last person to see Layne alive, and after a failed attempt to send him to the hospital, got high himself and blacked out for 2 weeks. Imagine being at rock bottom and your only company are your lifetime friends whose only common ground is being stuck at rock bottom. Mike was one of the only people to stay in touch with Layne, and him the only AiC member he kept in touch with after he was kicked out of the band, because of their shared habit. I'm sure they both wanted each other to get out of there for their sake.
Makes me very mournful for all the talent and their amazing souls that were lost to addiction or depression. Mental health is no joke, it can affect you no matter how successful or unsuccessful you are. Long live those that have overcome these struggles and are still rockin'.
Beautifully written. Thank you.
Yes !! Lost my son as well 😢
I always ask myself, did these musicians fall into this chemical trap because of the musical lifestyle…or did they fall into the trap/ rut long before? As tragic as it is either way… they made their choices… 😢
@@Derandcam Before. I lived in Seattle in the 90's and worked at Deja Vu ( 1st &Pike strip club) where they'd come in a lot. The drug scene was huge and I think that partly it's the depressing weather. Staying in a lot. It was an incredible time, but when Andrew Wood passed things took a dark turn. The music they put out was from their core, and It still blows me away.
Temple of the Dog was also born from the tragic death of Andrew Wood. GREAT ALBUM, some of Chris's best music. FYI.
Man, Laynes voice was one of the best rock voices ever in my opinion.
thats not an opinion, thats a fact :D
Thee best 🙏
When it comes to the big 4 of grunge. I hands down say Layne is the best, but I know Chris and Eddie have their die hard fans and I respect that. And then Kurt... well... he may not have have the strongest voice but everyone loves him for the path he paved.
@@thornstrikesback what about Scott Weiland?
@@thornstrikesback I think Layne and Kurt are the best...Layne above Kurt for sure! But Kurt was good because he didn't try to be technical or perfect and it worked.
No one will ever believe this, but it is true. When I was 19 years old I wrote endless fan mail to this band. I covered the outside of my letters with art work, made all sorts of jokes using the lyrics of their songs. Even suggested they lift some weights.
About 1 month later I received an envelope in the mail from the band. They all wrote personalized notes to me - every single member of the group. Layne responded to me, writing "What?! You didn't know? I'm doing it for the kids!" They all took a picture flexing, joking back to my comment about hitting the gym.
Through many moves I believe I lost all of those letters. Someday, I hope they turn up in some box I have not looked in or uncovered so that I can share them with everyone else who loved this band. They were the real deal. All of them took the time to write a lonely kid who idolized them and hung on every lyric just to get through the day. It still amazes me that they took the time to make such a personal connection with me. I hope this story adds even more love to those AIC fans who felt the same way I did when I wrote the band. They truly cared about their fans.
Seth Elsom you couldn't have picked a better band I'll tell you I hope you get those letters back
Woo Hoo! ❤️
Back then I'm sure they got high and went through letters like people do today with comments and emails. I'm sure your letters stood out and they appreciated the effort. If you can make a person laugh it means a lot.
I believe it. I live in the Seattle area and my uncle was a nurse in the emergency room of Highline Community Hospital in the mid and late 90s. Mike Starr came into the ER for a heroin overdose one night. My uncle and the crew helped him that night and Mike autographed a Dirt CD and wrote "thank you for saving my life" on it. Unfortunately I think my uncle has lost the CD over the years and after several moves, just like you lost your letters from the band. A female coworker who is still friends with my uncle, likes to remind us that she had to take out Starr's nipple rings before the doctors started working on him.
@Seth Elsom You wrote the name of the band!?
4 people came together and created quite honestly one of the greatest songs ever. Period.
And it is a crime that they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall.
Tell me your secret Victoria
Let’s not get carried away
@@stevencopley5487 I've never understood what the point of those things are.
They are only as important as the people who decide who wins/gets invited and I have no clue who they are.
Hallelujah!
In my opinion the last 45 seconds is the best 45 seconds in rock history.
"Have I run too far to get home? Have I gone and left you here alone? Am I wrong?" The best lyrics, the best singing, the best drumming and the best guitar phrase I've ever heard in 45 seconds.
The best music!!! Point blank period!
100%
It's a euphoric ending for sure!
Agree.
totally agree - legendary!
Imagine being 17 years old, turning on MTV one day, and seeing these guys after you have been listening to Poison and Cinderella for the last 5-6 years. BOOM.
mind blown
Nirvana helped with that
Cinderella is better than this band.
Dude, when I was 17, back in 2005, I've been listening to The Doors and no one gave a fuck. It's the same now. Music is music, and people're still listening to Mozart and Bach, nevermind that they've been dead for centuries.
80's rock rules, and Alice in Chains is great too. BOOM.
This entire album is a fucking masterpiece of music.
DIRT!
Yes ...
FACTS
I've always enjoyed alice in chains well enough, but honestly it wasn't until fairly recently that I REALLY got into them and came to love their music..
I grew up watching MTV, rocking out. I was pretty young when grunge was peaking, so it took me awhile to truly appreciate some of those bands. Here today, the more I go back and rediscover alice in chains, the more I love them!! Such an incredible band. Layne had one of the most powerful and haunting, beautiful voices of all time. And Jerry Cantrell is in my opinion criminally underrated!
Alice in Chains fucking rules!
Need more people to SUBSCRIBE to this Channel!! They deserve a million subscribers!!!
RIP Layne 22 years today
and 30 for Kurt
34 for Andrew Wood. The person this song was written for.
Hard to believe it was so long ago. I grew up a teenager in the early 90’s. What a time to be alive.
Tragic 💯🇰🇵🈲㊙️
Todays my Dads death anniversary, he loved Alice In Chains 🤘🏼. Last year sucked but God is still good
1991 : This song is awesome
2020 : This song is still awesome
Legends never die!
2565 this song is still Awesome
Yes Still awesome 😎
1991: goo goo ga ga
2020: hey i remember this...
No kidding. 2039 this song still rules.
“I know I don't have much of a voice, but Layne has one hell of a voice.”
~ Kurt Cobain
It’s sad that Layne passed away his voice is good dude
Kurt had a very unique voice which captured the vibe of the music
@@KenaiTobin for sure. He was only being differential because he was a nice guy.
@@chrisridenhour true
Of the big four, kurt comes last, like, somebody has to. And being honest, being last behind Chris Cornell, layne staley and Eddie vedder aint a bad last place to be in.
"Into the Flood again, same ole trip it was back then", the depths of Truth in these lyrics are without measure.
Its fractal entendra that corresponds to human existence
@@nikolasnetur2305its about heroine my guy
Layne’s range is absolutely insane
I met Layne at the university square mall in june of 91 just before this song hit MTV. He was the nicest person ever, they were playing at the Ritz theater in Ybor city that night. He was there passing out flyers. I went to the show. It was of the high points in my life. Fantastic show. 2 months later this song was on MTV. I couldn't believe it. I am very thankful I have that memory
traviss merkin that's a cool memory bro!
thank you for sharing it
Ybor city in Tampa?
truly a blessing....
traviss merkin you lucky, lucky person.
Almost 2023 and this song still gives the goosebumps. They don't make em like this anymore..
Oh no they certainly don't! You got that damn right!!
They don't bro the good times are over. Now we are hanging by a moment
That bass line and chiming guitar opening chords
Absolutely
good old days
I cannot believe how time has flown by. I bought this album days after it's release. Takes me back to 1992 like it was yesterday. I'm 52 now
Just watched it and thought „this was my time“. I remember being in the clubs back then and seeing how people went crazy listening to the intro. Great days of music revolution back then, opening so many doors between different styles of music. Miss them.
If I knew today's music would suck .....long live the classics
same here..in 92 i just turned 21...good times
Listened to this track 8 January 2024. Hello from New Zealand 😊
@@matthewplehn4271 yep! Same here.
Man Layne was the coolest back then! His voice symbolizes the 90s and I wish I didn’t take them for granted and saw him live.
that bassline is legendary
This came up on my recommendations and as soon as I heard the bass I knew it was a banger 🤘🏼
Fuck yea
Mike Starr was a beast
@@fredmiller4110 R.I.P.
So sick 🤘🏻
"If I would, could you?"
Still gives me chills
Me toooo
Me too
Dude was cold-blooded wasn't he?
Yea it does bro!🤠
Yesss
I started college in 1992 at 28 years old. I would listen to KFMX on my 20 minute drive to Texas Tech and had never heard of AIC, but the DJ played them a lot and it didn’t take long to become a huge fan! Been a fan ever since and I’m about to turn 60. Just watched this video three times in a row.... This video made me realize just how great Layne was..he is one of the best ever...no one can lay it out there like him....
Cantrell's guitar along his vocals and Staley's are something else. Also, that rhythm section of Kinney and Starr. This was a great lineup that I never got to see in person.
the big harmony vocals was pretty new with this style. the layered vocal harmonys made it sound so haunting and just fuckin rocking.
66 years on this planet and this still gives me chills
Remember when it 1st came out? I don't google when it comes to quiz off questions but wasn't it on last action hero soundtrack before dirt was released?
@@shanewisniewski2movie called “singles”
Ditto. Right at this moment.
that's weird. 🙂
@@shanewisniewski2it was on the singles soundtrack movie came out in 1992,but they already made the song in 91 when Andrew wood passed away from a herion overdose from mother love bone,same way Layne died in 2002 from a herion overdose
This song is truly a masterpiece. It never gets old.
By far......
Ikr!
True 🤟
Yessir c’mon !!! 👊🏼
Yes, exactly. One of those songs you never get tired of. This band is unique. It's so symbolic of a time that will never happen again but must not be forgotten. Thank you for offering us this musical perfection. 🙏
Simply the best song of the era. Never got the props it deserved.
Definitely one of my favorites, probably is my favorite from them anyways.
@@thearmourboy3254this and rooster are probably their best songs. Will admit not as much as a fan of music from this generation but those are good songs. The guitar in the rooster can make you cry. Down in a hole alright too.
Surprised to hear somebody say this. Mtv practically had it on a continuous loop when it was released. It was such a stand out song and video.. one for it breaking a lot of molds of what a rock song could be, a progression that reaches it's titled lyrics at the end and no guitar solo. The video was also refreshing as the long hair metal band mold was breaking down. It took a second to get used to Laynes new look with the slicked back short hair and sunglasses but it was really awesome. I don't know if I agree that it never got the props.. Everyone loved this song.
@@timotmon yes, I'll admit hair metal scene was getting old. I always liked NWOBM. Always sound good. After hair and death metal I guess grunge and metal core took over.
@@timotmon Good analysis, although 2:04-2:20 qualifies as a guitar solo, I guess.
This and the unplugged never ages. Still so beautiful, haunting, raw and tragic. RIP Layne, gone but never forgotten.
"Am I wrong, have I run too far to get home?" Just an AMAZING lyric. Layne had a haunting voice, and I hope he is finally at peace.
Hey Geoffrey.. yes, it is.
Yes he did. My blood still runs cold and every hair on my neck stands up when I'm not expecting to hear him come in the radio. I can feel the pain in his songs he sings. Helped me get thru a rough time and a bad self medicating opiate addiction after a rough combat tour in Iraq some years back.
Lmao it's mediocre af but the sound is good
💯% AGREE 👑🕊🕊🕊🕊
"So I made a big mistake, try to see it once my way "
To me, this is the greatest grunge song ever conceived. I love grunge in general, but this song is just phenomenal.
Would is a top tier song no doubt but I would give it to Man in the Box personally.
Them bones going into dam that river ... It's the best out of grunge
I'd agree if I wasn't such a big Nirvana fan (the type that hates Smells Like Teen Spirit)
It’s a perfect song the pacing and harmonies etc.
@@viewer9997 it's also grunge (backed up by multiple sources). Grunge is an offshoot of rock anyway. AIC was one of the biggest grunge bands.
I'll probably watched this video about 10 times a day. Not all bass player flips around jumping up and down. I just scream every time. God I miss them
Best grunge band ever. One of my most favorite bands of all time.😊
The way Layne and Jerry harmonized, so damn good.
Sounds like ancient worship
mesmerizing
Perfection. That's what that is.
You can argue about who had the best voice in grunge/metal in that period all day long. But no one could match the two of them together.
10/10 song Superb would of best ever songs written
layne truly had the best vocals of the grunge era. He was a legend
he still is 😉🤘
I think Chris Cornell has a better voice overall, IMO
Chris Cornell definitely rivals him, but both are incredible singers. Truly legendary
I vote Kurt but who cares these are all great artists
@@tammybogdan6625 YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the first songs to kick off the popularity of the 90's grunge era! Classic!
Takes me back to ninth grade. I was a stereotypical teenager, sitting in the dark corner of my messed up room, not finding an emotion to express. I was so lost, so lost and my mental health was... gosh those damned days!! I wished the ground swallowed me and couldn’t even cry despite trying so hard. My phone was beside me with my playlist on shuffle, so that I feel something, I was desperate to feel something. Hours passed by, it was getting darker outside. What a failure am I, what a waste, darn it those were dark days. At one point I threw the phone towards the wall, fortunately it fell on the pile of messed up clothes and somehow, fate introduced me to alice in chains. This was the song that began to play, this epic bassline, the haunted guitar, epic drums, and well no words to describe Layne and Jerry. And i don’t know how, all the emotions wanted to burst out of me and I cried for hours with this song on loop. No one saw how miserable I was that night, except for dear Layne, Jerry, Starr, Sean. Life went on. It would still go on if I died, just these words would never be expressed. Depression, separation, violence, heartbreak, failure whatever, you have to face one of them. Just hold on, like I did, with Layne, Chris, Kurt, Eddy, Chester beside me. Wish I could go back and save Layne, and tell him the 'thanks for saving my life' that thousands of people like me owe to him. A man who died before my existence, saved me. Thanks to youtube I stumbled upon AIC once again. Love these guys sooo damn much!
20 years ago today we lost this legend, RIP Layne we will forever miss your voice.
And this song is still as good as it was the day it was released. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
NOT LOST JUST IN THE NEXT PHASE OF LIFE
Trail of tears for many grunge legends who have fallen.
saw jerry in irving plaza that day. great show. was surprised he didnt address it. then the next day i read about how he dealt with the aftermath. then i wasnt surprised at all. glad hes sober now. RIP layne
His dad died so that means they add and found a new guy so your so wrong have you ever hurd his new song and I'm not telling you so to gess
What grunge got right.
The perfect fusion of blues, metal and folk.
Clean guitars, brutal power chords and beautiful songwriting.
Great voices too: layne, criss, even scott weiland and STP at the start of this grunge era were considered grunge, I know theres more singers but this 4 were the best 90s voices of rock back then, period.
@@lonccoccala6861 yeah man
What it got wrong: Suicide… 🤷🏻
@@MichaelBrown-rg8oi sad but true 😔
Folk..?
No one dies as long as he remains alive in the hearts of those who adored and continue to adore his music. In memory to my idol Layne Staley
Your words are so true…💯❤️
Layne's been gone 22 years. At its peak, his voice was untouchable. Out of the big 4 in Grunge, AIC have always been my favourite.
RIP Andy, Layne, Chris, Scott, Kurt. The 90's grunge era was filled with talent and I was happy and privileged to grow up during that time. This world wouldn't be the same without ur poetry on paper and in music. You guys will never be gone due to what you left behind. Never forgotten. Thank you guys so much
They all died? damn.
I feel sorry for them all, only the remaining lyrics , music and love
and now rip taylor 🥺🥺
Mike Starr rip
@@Calirado9 the fact is already 11 years
Grunge metal at its finest, RIP Layne Staley and Mike Starr.
Tgunzz I think this might b the best song ever made...ns
Ricky G amen brother
Ricky G it's definitely up there bro. I love the main riff and how well the voices of Staley and Cantrell work with it. Its so moody and dark , I love playing it on guitar.
Tgunzz I've also become a big Sean Kinney fan... definitely a pro
Alice in Chains have never been "grunge". They've always been hard rock. Same with Soundgarden. "Grunge" isn't really a genre, just a description, according to Mark Arm, who supposedly came up with the term (he says he didn't though, as he said the whole idea came from Australia in the 80's). "Grunge" was a ploy to try to box bands into a marketable genre.
Probably the best song ever created, it's oozes cool, nothing makes me feel like this song does, I miss this time, cmon kids bring it back, let's see what you've got.
лэйн, тебя не стало 22 года назад. боже, как же я скучаю по тебе. просто гениальный и талантливейший музыкант. ❤️
Uh...can we talk about how criminally underrated Sean Kinney’s drumming is?
Yeap!
But how does he compare to Jesus? -> th-cam.com/video/N1LPPEpKveU/w-d-xo.html

Remember driving around with a coworker/friend out of town for a job listening to this song. Felt surreal. Layne's vocals is what sells it.
No music exists like this today, they were pure genius. Now it’s all nobody’s singing through computers.
Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell were the finest singing duo in rock. Like their voices were meant to be sung together. RIP Layne

Pure fucking talent man.
This is arguably one of the greatest songs ever made, everything about it is perfect.

A Sledgehammer wrapped in velvet... I fucking love that visual.
Love your comparison.
Stealing comments i see
Aww shit that's an excellent analogy
@Jerrycantrell018_ this is like the best grunge bassline ever how did you guys come up with it? Not bad guitar playing either- haha- and Layne's voice is unreal in it's power
One of the greatest rock songs ever written. The way Laynes voice builds and comes back in at 2:19 is amazing.
it's called a reverse reverb effect. a popular effect used heavily by ozzy/black sabbath, pearl jam, led zeppelin and many many others
💯 agreed!
@@motorentz4289 Still Sounds Phenomenal Though!!! 👌

22 years? damn. I remember watching this on repeat for days and I still have the album in my car to this day. RIP Layne
What great bassline on this track ……..such a different sound & Layne’s voice was truly other worldly 👍
Bassline is so key to pulling you in.
On a day like today, 19 years ago, a legend of the Grunge genre passed away. Today, being 2021, we continue to remember his music with enthusiasm.

Thanks gus
and I saw it live here in Brazil in 1993 ?? it was epic
Today passes 20 years without Layne. Rest In Peace, old friend.
Sure..., my old and lovely friend, I` m 48 years old and every time my demos have bren activated I have had to walk away from AIC, however I always return to Layne.
Love Layne, love AIC!!!
* Demons
Amen
After all these years same old trip it was back then
That snarl. Foreboding mood in his voice. Never can be replicated!
The 90s grunge, rock, and metal scene gave us some of the most unique and iconic vocalists that we will ever hear. Layne, chris Cornell, Jonathan Davis, Eddie vedder, the list just goes on and on
what happened to rock? what happened to music? why were the 90s so awesome?
Music of our youth always seems awesome, and brings back the emotion and possibilities of those days. Any other music cannot resonate the same way as that of our youth.
I agree , most of the music being made today is trash.
Corporate auto-tuned trash. Have to look backwards to look forward these days.
Because Gen X defined cool, and are last cool (generation
It's alllll rap now. Everything is rap. If you're not a rapper in music today you're dead
Songs like this can never be loud enough
oh but we can try!!
I bought a high end headphone just for this song.
Never
🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
It can with the right stereo. But it takes a lot... believe me.
An old master musician told me many years ago, close your eyes and just listen. If it fits your ear, it’s for you. This fits my ear. How about you?
💯
Sometimes, you grow to like a song over time.
This fits my soul.
No. And the reason is that he died from heroin....
Something else might suit you.
But, it still suits me. So, go away... !
Definitely
22 years ago we lost this man. A true fucking legend. The GOAT AIC's Layne Staley 😎
Making music like this truly is a lost art nowadays
Edit : I correct myself. *nearly lost art
Yes
Listen to Zillakami of City Morgue
Not with my band
One of the rare bands i can listen to the entire discography without skiping a single song.
Absolutely man..
Yup
Apart from Love Song. It was made bad on purpose though to be fair
Ain't that the truth.
Literally.
Still sounds as good as it did in the 90s
I miss you Layne.
Can i ask how he died? I recently got into them
@@sergio178 OD. Speedball if I remember correctly
@@sergio178 Layne wasted away over a long period of time using heroin. Found dead in his apartment after sequestering himself.
Hi
Heroin, it kills everyone who tries it eventually.
I was 12 in 1992 and completely hooked on Nirvana. Never listened to AiC. Now 32 year plus I stumbled on this Masterpiece. It's 2 weeks already and I can't stop listening to it at least 20 times a day. I don't even think I would embrace the message encrypted in this song then. Now being 44 and scarred by many wrong paths I've taken this song hits me very hard. It literally talks to me...
I'm 68 and didn't decide that I love the Seattle grunge sound till last year. This video of Would? is what got it started. The power in Layne's voice gave me chills... I do love all the bands but AIC in the Layne era...I really don't have words...my favorite. Have you watched the MTV unplugged version of this? I can't help but cry. Peace. 🙏
@@stevencopley5487 It's very honest and unpretentious music. It's fascinating how much emotion he could pack into his singing. It gives me goosebumps.
This is a underrated timeless masterpiece
Great changes and breakdown
Underrated? Nah
@@mikimaus358 UNDERFUCKINRATED NEVER!!!!!?? SAYS WHO MIKE?? MALADYMAYHEM??
The bassline at the beginning and the base drum roll at 0:09. The vocals, the haunting screech of the guitar. Everything about this song is art.
this is a floor tom not a bass drum, yet I see what you mean \m/
the ethereal harmonies going on between mike and jerry/jerry & layne and the tom dominate drum riff all joined in and made an absolute masterpiece and a wonderful tribute to Andrew Wood.

Same guy played the bass opening to Ozzy's "No More Tears"
The perfect song ...from beginning to end....lyrics , music, vocals...amazing !
that bass intro always gives me the chills.
My 'walk up song' if I ever make the big leagues.
YES
For me its every single guitar in this song, but the bass is AMAZING.
@@elido6199 for me its the bass & vocals
That's some chunky bass for sure
I've liked this band for many years, but don't know their catalogue that well...never heard this one until now. Agreed...Layne's voice is powerhouse and this song is amazing. I'm a bit older than most of you here at 71. Good music is simply just that. At any age!
Keep rocking man
Layne, you have been gone for 22 years, but I am VERY grateful to you for your voice, your music, it often saves me a lot. Just thank you, an undeniable legend. ❤
"If I would, could you?"
One of the most haunting ways to close out an album, goddamn
Arcanine452 Amen
What does he mean by that? Does he mean asking him would you do that...and he got offended or If I would do it... could you do it too?
@@cookiegiver6044 I've always thought he aimed it at people who thought they never even COULD resort to using drugs in the self-destructive way Layne did. If he himself very willingly WOULD, maybe it's possible you COULD, too. But I don't know.
@@fonkeyj man that was nice! Thanks for letting me know of your perspective really interesting
@@cookiegiver6044 this final question means "if people had given him more help, would he have accepted it?" and "if becoming addicted to heroin happened to him, could it happen to you too?"
Layne’s voice is something else
Yes!!
Yeahhhh
I often wondered where he learned to sing like that ... MASSIVE power in his voice, tremolo like a fine violinist, adding grit where he wanted it.
@@thomascoolberth2648 That’s so perfectly descriptive of Layne’s insanely powerful voice. Only Chris Cornell had that same sort of power, range, and ability to really go light or heavy, gritty or smooth.
💛
One of the best rock songs ever!!
Best song of the 90s nothing comes close
the sad news of chris cornell brought me here...remembering the good times...so many legends gone way too early...so many awesome tunes...R.I.P chris,layne,kurt...
kevin hopkins - I can't wrap my head around Chris Cornells passing! All the Great ones are gone now, the soundtrack of my life....😥
At least Vedder still here...
Chernobog the last of the great
R.I.P and Scott
Chernobog they better put fuckin 24/7 surveillance on him
Cantrell was the Heart and Mind of AIC, but Staley was the Soul.
wow, so deep, AMEN
+Daniel Toma you got that damn right dude................
+Daniel Toma Well said dude!! :)
+Daniel Toma PERFECT.
+Daniel Toma I couldn't have said it better...or ....prolly...as well. Thanks.
We can only imagine the music we missed with Layne's death, such a powerful and unique voice. You are missed, brother...
We can't let alice in chaines fade away every time we can call into the radio stations. we have to recommend playing alice in chains, especially "would"
I don’t even listen to rock this song is hard as hell
mike's bassline in this song sends me into another galaxy i swear
Happy 53rd birthday Layne, Grunge god.🤘🖤🤘🖤
courtney did it
th-cam.com/video/in-BUrAmO6g/w-d-xo.html
@@powerofthetime Pretty cool dude.
😢🖤🖤🖤
Layne is the best🤘🏽🖤
Don't forget about Mike Starr
My favorite band of ALL TIME.
God i love this band. RIP Layne
The power of his vocals, especially after the guitar solo cannot be denied.
EPIC
One of the best grunge songs ever. Never gets old.
true
Great point-I never get tired of it.
Nirvana >>> Pearl jam > Alice in chains
+Chuck Samp YEAH!!!
Why even compare those bands??
A decade ago, a distant cousin of mine overcame through excruciating effort a heroin addiction that would’ve killed him. He had family here and there to help him along, but for the most part he was on his own throughout the process. “Would?” is his favorite song.
I remember asking him once at a family gathering why he listened to it so often. He told me he uses it to scare himself straight.
This song transports me to a place and time that I will forever long for! I don't just hear the music, it soaks into my soul and makes me whole.
"This is fly now." So true. AIC were way ahead of their time.
the powerful singing is incredible. the passion in his voice is unbelievable
Still completely relevant and always will be.
Can't believe I'm 61 and still enjoying the Hell out of this song. lol Great music is timeless.
Jerry is the musical genius in AIC, extremely talented musician especially with chord progressions,this song is just a haunting dark masterpiece
I'm 42 and this song still gives me chills! They don't make bands like this anymore....
No they don’t
They hardly make bands anymore
I'm 23 and I agree
61 and couldn't agree more! 😢
Have you heard tool?
