Isn’t that crazy? What cruel fates the cards they have been dealt. This song sounds good though! The two singers sound eerie. Kind of like the Ghosts of what has passed into the ether. I get a sense of for longing like what happened and why?
Seriously he is one of my hero's I'm in my 20's and I still grew up listening to him, some of his stuff along with trent reznors riffs (think The Slip - 2008, if you don't know what reznor riffs are) are what got me asking to pick up the guitar in the first place as a kid
I love how Krist is filmed strolling through the Nirvana exhibit and clearly is enjoying himself "Yeah, that's the bass I knocked myself in the head with!"
You can tell he's strolling through there going "Yeah Bitch! That's me right there on one of the biggest stages in the world the time! That's the bass I played on Unplugged! I used to be the biggest rockstar in the world!" (despite his incredible humbleness), but you can also see that deep sadness in his eyes. Its the kind of sadness someone looking back on fond memories he will never get to relive, and also a little bit of "Damn I wish I could jam with the guys just one more time..."
Beautiful film/video and music, [Krist was legendary for doing or attempting the massive 'vertical bass toss' at the end of a set when Nirvana would demolish their music equipment - so rock'n roll - was a show in itself] at the end of the MTV Awards 1992, Nirvana the last act to play, supposed to play SLTS but in true Kurt form started playing 'RApe Me' instead stopping after only a few opening lyrics and chords, just enough to get the big wigs attention, then belted out a super hard hitting version of 'Lithium' with Grohl literally beating the crap out of his kit, while Kurt ground out that blood curdling scream of his, last verse Krists amp loses sound so improvises with none other than the legendary 'vertical bass toss' completely misses the bass guitar [that is seen in this video with Krist pointing to his forehead] on the descent smacking him a beauty into said forehead above his eye thankfully not knocking him completely out, he has said in interviews since that he was so wasted and confused that he blacked out but remembers Kurt kicking him in the ass as they exit the stage at the end of the performance oblivious to the chaos that just played out behind him...the 90's, god i miss Nirvana and the 90's!!!
@@ejRecording yes! Outstanding tone always from Kim. Instantly recognisable. Saw him on severla dates with MC50. fantastic sound. Love the twin female vocals on this gem.
True, yet non of them come close to Lanes perfect singing. He hits and holds notes that only a small percent of singers can even come close to replicating
Krist seems to be happier. Good for him. Also it's nice to see Kim and Krist play together. Both of them shared the same pain losing their best friends.
Except for when he supported Trumps fascistic speech before clearing protesters with tear gas to take a photo op by a church. Lost a hit of respect for Krist after that... still love what he did with nirvana
@@bhaallbherith Yeah this really was super good. I could see them doing big tours with all the love for grunge and doom nowadays. This would go over quite well. Would love to hear an original from this lineup.
Kim Thayil covers Alice in Chains so well. Best I've heard for that stuff next to Jerry. Be cool if him and Jerry did a project together. But these guys/gals right here should be a band. Damn good!
@@lordphillipemcmlxxxv8492 The most difficult part of Alice in Chains' harmonic vocals is the fact Staley and Cantrell always went for the dissonant harmonies, which makes the singing even more difficult. I know because I play "them bones" with my Coverband and we (me and my lead vocalist) struggle now and then to get it right, but when we get it right.. it's just delightful! :)
Not sure if its the clean shave or just him feeling nostalgic, but this is the first time I've seen him actually look and act like the Krist we used to know!
Kim Thayil was always my favourite musician that came out of the Seattle scene. He was the most uniquely creative of any of the guitarists that emerged from that rainy darkness. I just wish he would do some more stuff now that Soundgarden is no more.
Ok, so I love A.i.C... I have everything they have ever done... In my opinion Rainer Fog is the best album they have made in the Duvall era, and that's taking nothing away from black gives way to blue and the devil put dinosaurs here. Those albums are both killer and very Alice! All that aside this cover is a fuckin beauty! Jillian Raye is incredible!I apologize, I'm not sure who the other lady is doing the backing vocals. Maybe it's Jennifer Johnson. What an awesome dynamic they bring to the song. I absolutely cannot play this cover loud enough... Krist and Kim just bring the sonic. Spot on the whole way through. Love it! Best I've heard from this event
Jillian Raye's and Jennifer Johnson's Vocals are on point, Kim ,Krist, Jeff and Ben are Amazing. Giants in the trees should have more recognition, great band.
There’s an interview right now in SPIN where he mentions it. Says it “weighs” on him, as its his life staring back at him. Called it a Nirvana Disneyland.
This is everything ❤❤❤ I teared up so bad as Kirst happily made his nostalgia trip 😭 Man, just hit me that both Kim and Krists frontman are gone as well as the legend that is Layne Staley that fronted AIC smh. So fuckin tragic man. Thanks for rocking out guys, you definitely made my day right here. Rest easy Layne, Kurt and my love Chris. Love you guys ✌🏻
1. This performance is the best one from this amazing MoPOP event. Great song and beautiful, spot on execution by the band 2. I absolutely love how especially Alice In Chains and Soundgarden managed to sell to the general public this slow-mid tempo, dark, heavy, bluesy doom metal sound as "grunge" for decades. It brings joy to my heart as a diehard metalhead, lol.
Members of two my favourite bands in my teenage years now with their singers dead cover a song of another one of my favourite band in my teenage years now with their singer also dead. I think I'm getting old.
Two guys from bands with deceased frontmen covering a band with a deceased frontman. What hand of cards they were all dealt.
Isn’t that crazy? What cruel fates the cards they have been dealt.
This song sounds good though! The two singers sound eerie. Kind of like the Ghosts of what has passed into the ether. I get a sense of for longing like what happened and why?
Your words... they’re haunting but I’m glad to see them still Rocking
Well said, Blarky Blark. Well said.
They’re pulling it off beautifully
And 'round the corner, someone is lurkin, and still singing.
Ohhhhh I, Aaaha I'm still Alive.
Kim seriously needs to get back in the game. I really miss that dude's guitar playing.
Hell ya. Dude is a mad genius with the axe.
Kim with Krist need to be back in the game, they sound good together
Seriously he is one of my hero's I'm in my 20's and I still grew up listening to him, some of his stuff along with trent reznors riffs (think The Slip - 2008, if you don't know what reznor riffs are) are what got me asking to pick up the guitar in the first place as a kid

Krist and Kim must form a band for the love of the gods.
Agreed 🤣👍
Check out The No WTO Combo
With Jerry :)
Sounds huge!
Mark Lanegan, Kim Thayil, Krist Novoselic, and Dave Grohl on drums. Your welcome earth.

Soundgarden band members need to be in the hall of fame.
The Hall of Fame is rigged. But, I agree.
The hall of fame has never been a thing of justice... never.
Blows my mind that soundgarden isnt up there with led zeppelin in terms of recognition
Truth!!!
They're in a league of their own
Hearing Kim play Jerrys riffs is just ear candy at its finest.
that tone!
@@ejRecording yes! Outstanding tone always from Kim. Instantly recognisable. Saw him on severla dates with MC50. fantastic sound.
Love the twin female vocals on this gem.
Right on.
Jeff Fielder rules too, props!!
And I like the fact that Kim definitely brought his own flavor to the music.
This should be a band...
This is a band, with Kim joining.
@@ruipeixoto5737 ...And Kim joining would make this a completely different band.
I hope Kim stays ! ! ! man, he brings that kind of Sludge/Doom/Stoner vibe to it, and mix well with the voices!
@@Adefesio94 Agreed. His playing fit right in. Stoner doom/psychedelic.
The guitar player they have right now is a dick.
This show was a truly huge treat for the grunge community.
Agreed
Indeed it was
YES!!!!
Yes, however as a Metalhead I must say this is one of the best things that happened in this shitty year, inarguably. Sick stuff.
Blew my face off--especially this performance 🤘🖤
Kim Thayil is such an underrated musician
he is rated just enough hiw much she want to be rated
@@drazenstefanovic8843 she?!
@@mikikil007 lapsus
Well, He is concidared as Iomi of grunge, greatest guitarist of this era 😅 I wouldn't say he's underrated
@@MiloDRough Jerry is better.
I'd buy a ticket to this band
And buy the album
The ladies are so haunting.
I know, right? I'm very surprised they did this song justice!
Honestly the line “I’ll stay here and feed my pet black hole” is so haunting in and of itself but the way they sing it really does it justice.
Yep, they're pretty good though I still prefer the original.
@@popkorn256 Absolutely. I like the cover, but the original is always going to be better.
@@exxor9108 Hmm... To be fair, the more I listen to this one, the more I like it :)
Kim never lost the magic!!!
That is a top tier profile picture ;)
3rd secret before it became 3rd secret, the sound is there
It blows my mind how many AIC songs can be covered by such a wide range of singers.
True, yet non of them come close to Lanes perfect singing. He hits and holds notes that only a small percent of singers can even come close to replicating
“Cmon people now, smile on your brother.. everybody get together... try to love one another right nowwww”
I'm glad tunes from Rainier Fog are getting some love.
Rainer Fog is one of their best albums. Layne or not...
The first post-Layne song I've heard and it's damn good!!!!
Same And this song is one of my favorite all-time aic songs. This version is great - the vocals are even more eerie here!
@@fuckamericanidiot you should check "so far under", sound like classic AiC, and Duvall wrote it.
An amazing cover.
Krist seems to be happier. Good for him.
Also it's nice to see Kim and Krist play together. Both of them shared the same pain losing their best friends.
From everything I've read and heard, Kurt was a douche.
lost allot of weight and rocks his cosack hat
@@ComaAlpha Look in the mirror
@@TheLastWordWithBob no, I'm an asshole, get it right.

Nirvana and soundgarden playing aic. Yup. We're in a simulation.
Krist is that guy who can not be disliked.

Here you have the lead guitarist of Soundgarden and the bassist of Nirvana covering an Alice in Chains song. What a combination!

i wish this line up
@@bhaallbherith Yeah this really was super good. I could see them doing big tours with all the love for grunge and doom nowadays. This would go over quite well. Would love to hear an original from this lineup.

🤮🤮 crap junkie music..... good that he rid the world of himself.
I love this version, PERFECT
Krist may have trouble calculating the size of the world, but he has style.
Haha it's kinda a medium size world some world say.

Nirvana + Soundgarden? Awesome
SoundVana or NirvGarden?
@@MrBruinman86 Alice In NirvGarden of Sound
Alice in Soundvana😂🎸
=alice is awesome *
Nirvana + Soundgarden playing Alice in Chains... awesome!! A masterpiece.
Sounds like the Ghosts of Grunges past. Brilliantly done.
Krist looks thinner than the last time I saw him in an interview. Cool to see him playing bass again.
This is fantastic! No one sounds like Kim Thayil.
So underrated
would love to see the footage of Krist walking around the museum and talking.
Yup 💯
I thought the same thing when this aired. I'm watching like a hawk!
Krist is turning into a giant Jimmy Page
Krist and Kim
Fucking perfect matchup
Record please!
You go Kim !! I'm sincerely hoping to hear the final Soundgarden album that's been stolen by a heartless liar.
Amen
may the fingers of the witch wither and shrink from the music intended for US. Return to the lava of Hell you ruinous harpy!
Anyone else going on a rampage watching these and having the best time ever?
And this is the day I fell in love with Kim Thayil. 😂
Kim playing lead, the guitar is just filthy!
"Chills, literal chills"
All our heroes are getting so old... heartbreaking.
It's beautiful.
so are we
This version is AMAZING!!! Rainier Fog is so good.
Not sure if its the clean shave or just him feeling nostalgic, but this is the first time I've seen him actually look and act like the Krist we used to know!
Seductive & Haunting at the same time
I can almost hear CHRIS CORNELL singing on this
I love how both Kim and Krist are just chill wise middle aged men now. They just look so happy to play still I love it!

Seeing artists from other groups playing music from other groups is a masterpiece and a beautiful tribute, i love the big four of Seattle so much
One of my favorite performances from the broadcast.
I will always look at this as the best thing to come out of the pandemic. This entire tribute was dark and otherworldly, just like AIC.
AIC is in my top 5 all time bands. Nice cover
Well now my neighbors are pissed lol oh well
I want to hear what Krist was saying about the Nirvana artifacts, is that video available?
There’s an interview right now in SPIN where he mentions it. Says it “weighs” on him, as its his life staring back at him. Called it a Nirvana Disneyland.
Maybe that's what they meant by the thick black hole 🕳
This is everything ❤❤❤
I teared up so bad as Kirst happily made his nostalgia trip 😭
Man, just hit me that both Kim and Krists frontman are gone as well as the legend that is Layne Staley that fronted AIC smh. So fuckin tragic man.
Thanks for rocking out guys, you definitely made my day right here.
Rest easy Layne, Kurt and my love Chris. Love you guys ✌🏻
All the great 90’s rock singers are gone. Brad Nowell, Shannon Hoon & of course Scot Weiland.
Sound Garden + Nirvana in Chains + Mazzy Star = THIS...
....more please!
Heavy and Groovin. I'm glad they got together, hope they Stay together.
Vocalists did well Drone always gave me the feeling of a piece of art like a painting and Kim's guitar solo is awesome
How have i just found this , great cover . Never would've thought id see kim and krist doing a AIC cover and they did it justice too.
God Bless Kim, as Soundgarden fan this is a wonderful sight. Also love this song by Alice In Chains, sludgy and hard hitting yet melodic
Oh, God, what a chill to watch Krist Novoselic and Kim Thayil playing together an Alice in Chains song. You have made my day. Thank you for this. 🖤

Knowing what the members of Soundgarden, Alice in Chains and Nirvana went through, this video makes me happy but also makes me cry.
Members of two my favourite bands in my teenage years now with their singers dead cover a song of another one of my favourite band in my teenage years now with their singer also dead. I think I'm getting old.
would love to see Krist and Kim do more stuff together
Ho does Kim get those tones - its f$cking outrageous and should be outlawed ;)
Wow. Kim Thayil. Friggin awesome.
"Giants in the Trees" is just Krist talking about himself walking around Aberdeen.
Guitar lead is incredible!
I can't stop hearing this song, playing daily , Kim is a god guitar , Cris a giant bassist
Saw Kim on stage more than any other guitar player...watching this makes me miss soundgarden so much!
What a cover! Those ladies sing really mystical
All non-music things aside, Krist can really lock into a groove, damn
This was an unexpected discovery.
I wish i could find the uncut version of krist in the exhibit, it just is too damn wholesome.
I seriously hope Kim joins this band. It was already a good band but Kim makes them great, and he is a really nice person as well.
I thoroughly enjoyed that! Any time I see Krist play is a good time 😊
Even when he played “Songs of Hate?”
@@stanknugget especially then!

I think thats Jeff Fielder in the background
I love you guys! That's where it's at!! ROCK VIVE NO MUEREEEE
C'MON Kim!!!!! We need you back in the game! We miss you!!!!!!
Kim Thayil is the shit, he rocks hard as ever. Krist' bands did great here, sounds metal as fuck

This is the transition between Giants in the Trees and 3rd Secret. 🔥
So great to see Krist in another great band
This band are incredible, but this girls...without words, awesome!
Kim is the man i think thats a good way for giants more rock and heavy cause grunge never died for so many....
Ive seen a million people vlog going to this place, but to know Krist has actually been there is fuckin awesome
I can’t stop playing this 🎼❤️🎼❤️🎼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
amazing solo Kim
the world need more of this.
I just visited Mopop last week and watching these guys playing there is mind blowing and very emotional.
