MTV Drops the Ball 12.31.92
Roseland Ballroom - New York, NY
1. Intro...
2. Would?
3. Angry Chair
4. Them Bones (Unaired footage)
5. Interview with Mike & Layne
Thanks to AltCopperpot5 for newly uploaded never broadcasted footage of "Them Bones" & Interview. In the broadcast version only the first half of "Them Bones" was included with credits running on the screen.
The original footage of "Would" & "Angry Chair" I transferred from a Master VHS in 2017. The audio for "Would" and "Angry Chair" is from a different VHS source and touched up a bit. During the performance of "Them Bones" the very end was aborted by the band. I have dubbed in the audio from Glasgow 93' SBD, and edited the video to include the song in its entirety. - เพลง

Cool little story for those that dont know. The guitar Jerry is playing on would ? was gifted to him by none other than eddie van halen. The guitar would eventually go missing for nearly 20 years until one day a friend of Jerry's saw it for sale online. About a month after that another friend of Jerry's also saw it online and bought it for $7000 and returned it to jerry. Jerry said he immediately called EVH to let him know he got the guitar back after nearly 20 years.
Do you know wht year it went misng or when it was found?
I heard this same story except insert Billy Joe of greenday
No but found semi recently I believe
@@kjamlin found semi recently in what I heard. Unsure of the years
Jerry talks about it in his Gibson Icons interview. It's on TH-cam.
Fun fact: Layne's shirt says LINK on it because he had just beaten Zelda 2. He was so excited and proud he made the shirt to wear on MTV live.
o_o
I read it was because he was a big fan of The Mod Squad
Layne Stanley’s vocals are one of the seven wonders of the world
^
Fun fact… son of Paul Stanley :)
@@steveb8503 can you provide any such evidence? Would be pretty insane but I don’t think that’s true.. then again maybe the mother in the interview was a knockout wjen paul banged her lol
@@jerrysanders9101 I was just joking based on the misspelling. Last name should be Staley.
@Steve B yeah, that guys got no idea
I was in rehab with Mike Star in 2010. We went to an AA meeting in a quiet church basement one night and the band had just finished practice in the chapel. I wandered in there with Mike and under this gorgeous dim-lit cathedral ceiling with blood red shag carpet, Mike asked to borrow a bass and started laying down lines from dirt and I sang a bit. The church guy had no idea who Mike was and just what we were being treated to, but I did. That's very special memory for me. God bless Mike and Layne. Jesus saves!
Would've been great to watch you "fly together". great story man!
Awesome story man 🙏🏻
Hope you’re still clean
That is awesome stuff!
THAT is amazing... what a memory to have❤
Wow really.... Mike star hasn't been in the band since 92/93 so that's pretty unbelievable and Layne died in 2002 .. Mike in I thought 2009 it might have been 2011 His last name is spelled Starr FYI cute story but you don't need to do all that to feel special! You are special and I believe in you.... 💋❤️🤘
I just love how effortlessly cool Layne was.
Naw he had to do a lot of drugs and be in a pretty fucking MASSIVE band to get that cool.....more effort than your average man will ever know.
@@charlies2641 well flip side of that is...or another way to look at it...he looks cool, but he wore shades because he wanted to hide his eyes because of drug use, and yeah...he was battling inside 😑...
@@xGvPTVx or as with most people with blue eyes really really sensitive to bright lights , flashing and glares, and can cause such discomfort to distract what you are doing..Layne was an open book , never hid anything from anyone
@@ko0974 true, could have been different reasons on different days or multiple concurrent reasons. I think most believe for unplugged and other situations it was to avoid showing himself.
@charlies2641 Nah he was pretty damn cool even before they blew up. It's kinda hard not to be cool with that voice
Dude's voice was literally one in a trillion..... just insanely unique, powerful, flexible voice on that guy. R.I.P Mike and Layne.
agree , there is no other!
yes but Listen to Dio
@@provisionalhypothesis starr got kicked out a month later in rio
LOL, idiots are easily impressed with almost any noise. 😀😀
@@provisionalhypothesis wrong
I was 35 when they did this show in 92 and still listen to them all the time, never gets old, Layne's vocals are one of the best, if not the best
Best voice ever 🤗
Right on man, I was 14 in 92, and it was a great time to be a teenager, music-wise. I keep coming back to AIC tho.
Legend
I was 20 and enjoying life now I'm old
Layne is so awesome to watch all these years later. I know he was appreciated at the time, but all these years later with all this crap new music and lack thereof, his talents really shine more now than they did then.
Saying MTV has radically changed since the 90’s is more than an understatement. People moshing and crowd surfing to Alice In Chains brings me so much joy.
To see Layne full of life and not wearing gloves warms my heart and makes me sad at the same time. He's a 1 of 1 and won't be another like him.
Big time!!
Wish he would have made it through to his dreams, wanting a family and stuff, he truly deserved it, ♥️🙏♥️🙏
A brilliant addicted mind. RIP LS.MS. AW.
@@lenaaustin6692And CC!
When MTV was all
about music
Those were the days when music kicked ass and took names!!!
No that would have been the early to mid 70s!!
@@johnstrong6994 no actually Alice In Chains was and is just as good or better than most of the 70s bands
The music their wrote seemed to be their own lives..
IDK I was born in 95' and I just discovered AIC, I love them,
Layne and all of them seemed to bleed for their music..
But sad thing is, Layne and Mike and all of them are dead..
I don't know it is kinda crazy when you watch these 90's bands because due to the heroin use they would all use long sleeves or be dressed as if it was winter all the time, either because they were too slim or because of the track marks..
kinda sad..
But you're right, the 90's were legendary..all there is now to listen to is plastic music to become a millionaire, buy big mansions in L.A, wear designer clothes, etc. etc.
@@shalom5992 you’ve been under a rock then, if you just discovered AIC…
@@tristencoon8198you must be joking😂
Mike starr killing it on angry chair...damn
He’s the best
Hell yeah and would too
Layne had such effortless power in his voice. Sucks it ended like it did.
9:25 It is unreal how awesome this song is and it´s this good LIVE
Best gear I've ever heard haha best version
The music and vocals and harmonies are just SOO on point!!
Still wish I could have seen Layne live more then I believe once when they opened up for Van Halen-- they immediately became my favorite band of all time right after that show❤❤❤❤!!
YES.
I still get chills hearing Layne sing Would. One of my favorites.
IMO their best song
Yeah, Would was my favorite for years, but now I go back and forth between Would, Rotten Apple, Nutshell, and Don't Follow...
**Can't forget the Mad Season album Above, which is even better live at the Moore theater!!
Laynes voice 😍 like marshmallows and razor blades. Layne and Jerry harmonize amazing together as well
For sure Susan, I feel so lucky to have seen them open for Van Halen back in like '91 or '92!! Immediately became my favorite band and singers of all time..
That bass intro in Would? had to be the greatest way to start the end of the year and this AIC's show was the best last thing of 1992!
Layne was at the top of his game when this was recorded.
30 years later.. still listening at 46 ❤
I'm 50.
Make that 76!!I,m a Grumpy old Rocker and I can't hear this band often enough.Love them 'till I die.What more can I say?
43 and still going here. They just don't make em Layne anymore. It's a pity.
@@jacobbrookshire8204 same everything sucks now compared to the 90s..Man I miss those days.
I’m 49 😎
No matter how much metal I listen to them bones just hits different. Heavy as fuck
6:04 It's so cool to see Layne playing guitar 💗
Would is such a heavy song in every way. So raw, honest, and tragic.
Imo the best AIC song!
I remember watching this at a friend of the families house on New Years Eve that year. I was glued to it.
0
MTV was the shit in the early 90’s. Maybe it was cause I was only 13, but I remember watching this too and MTV during this time period was all you really had to keep up with the music world on a daily basis. MTV went down the drain the second they stopped playing music videos and started playing Teen Mom garbage
🤟💯
@@traviscoates6878 Yep it was really fun watching back then, I was a little older. Loved staying up for Headbangers ball also.
Back in 92 we would form a pit to any song no matter how slow or moody it was.
Watch Blind Melon play "Soup" at Woodstock 94 to see exactly how much this guy isnt bullshitting.
👊👊💯☮️
Best comment here
Torn up flannel and busted lips 🤘
@@jessejames2546 Somebody was going to crowd surf and accidentally kick you in the face, for sure.
Sept 2022, Dirt turns 30 yrs old this month. Best album of all time imo. Listen to it daily🤘
Truth.
Doesn’t seem like thirty-year’s young! Same as many band’s ie. The Doors🦎👑🚪🚪🚪🚪
Without a doubt my favorite AIC album as well. Layne sounds stellar live!
Me too,listen 2 at least 2 or 3 tunes off of dirt every morning...💜
LOL. Idiots easily impressed by noise.
Damn. Just turned 2023, and it’s crazy to think this was thirty years ago. Rock on Staley 🤘
and Mike Starr
Bass tone is just so sludge-y. Love it.
how dare you?
@@intheirownwords6079 you don't understand sludgey. His bass tone just fits perfectly with laynes vocals...don't get me wrong mike Inez is good. But can get reach that tone. Not really.
The way Jerry makes the guitar sing is just so awesome. And Layne wraps his voice around it and makes it spectacular.
The way Mike took over to spare Layne being ridiculed in the interview was the best part of the show
Notice how the interviewer kept asking Layne about "new year's resolutions" and "giving something up"?
I'm pretty sure he was trying to imply the drug use, like Layne giving up drugs as a new year's resolution.
I guess that's typical of the media, always trying to catch the most controversial things they can, sadly.
@@Hexthrill And Layne just takes the piss and says he's guna become a eunuch XD Bloody awesome haha
@@SSZarisit wasn't too awesome 93 was a s*** year for him😂
@PacMan-ph4uy yeah we're aware. It's so funny...
Yes it was..
MTV when it actually meant something .
not sure they should be on mtv though.
@@jjohnson2044why?
8:11 - Mike gives his bass and hat to his tech and stage dives and only Sean sees it hahah maybe that is what sets Jerry off for that ending, he looks pissed off and Sean deliberately ignores everything.
Yikes, tensions were high! And then there's Layne just laughing it off and not even bothering to stall
Layne`s like "happy new year everybody"
A band that sounds that great live is the real deal. What a great band that will be known 100 years from now.
Damn... Layne's vocals are just insanely good
11:33 Layne’s “Yeahhhh” in Them Bones is always absolutely phenomenal
11:35.
You can tell Layne wrote the lyrics because he sang them with conviction. Almost every performance by that guy came from the heart. Very rare to see such things live.
He only wrote the lyrics to Angry Chair. The other two songs were written by Jerry. But you're right he sang every song with conviction and passion.
@@gigagod3384oh wow interesting
Layne wrote a lot of the lyrics on the tripod album. Check out the Jerry interview where he goes into it, plus the documentaries mention it.
8:56 Layne’s got the most adorable laugh i swear..
“we got one more! hehehe”
literally 5 secs later
“AHHHAHAH!!!”
Don't bluff you are done Dukey Andrew 🇬🇧 🎯🇺🇲
*4:10* Amazing Mike Starr moment and brutal sounding bass for Angry Chair. Greatest band in the world and greatest singer that ever lived.
Agree 👍
that was fucking COOL! R.I.P Mike and Layne!
The best EVER.
GREATEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
He plays this flow. Inez, not so much.
0:30 Would?
4:01 Angry Chair
9:23 Them Bones
12:16 Interview
DID SEAN KINNEYS DRUMSTICK GO FLYING AT THE END OF ANGRY CHAIR HOLY SHIT THAT WAS SICK 😂 8:07
Looks like another one flys at 8:36
A genuine interview as well. No PR wank or worried about saying something and getting murdered on social media. RIP Mike & Layne
So true
Can we go back to the days when great bands like AIC played NY eve?!
I know right!? Fucking embarrassing now. Feel bad for the Gen Z-ers 😄 they have no idea
I think this is the best live version of Them Bones that I heard.
Along with the one they did back in 93 at Jools Holland. Look it up
@@javierrangel1435 Well the Jools Holland one still doesn't come close to this one and Layne's voice is much more stronger here.
@@sahasransupanda1471 Agreed 👍
Absolutely my gawd they tear this shi t up
Looked up a few of them and am coming to the conclusion that the song is not that great for live play, Layne is great on like everything else, but this song doesn´t seem to work outside the studio. This version is the best though and pretty decent. Not a dig at AIC, I listen to them all the time and have them on my all-time top 5 so don't be mad ;)
Great era of music that ended way too quickly. Such a great time capsule thanks for posting.
Sadly true
Dam I miss the 90's.
Me too
This was 2 days after my 18th birthday. Man I miss them days for sure. Music back then, so much better. R.I.P Layne and Mike
Layne's voice will forever give me chills.
damn Jerry is so damn young looking here and still plays like a beast.
"1993 is off to a GREAT start!" I would set my time machine to the precise moment he uttered that statement. God, I Love Layne Staley 🖤
Mike and Layne in the final interview 😢 what a pair of talents resting in peace 🤘🏼 long live
Layne can make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end by simply yelling "AAAH!" , holy shit that guy could sing!
I vividly remember sitting there in front of the tv tossing back beers and chain-smoking cigarettes waiting for this. Then MTV cut away from the last song early. I was so ticked. Hard to believe I was ever 22.
Layne’s voice give me the chills bruh. Amazing
Layne will always be my favorite singer but Jerry is a musical mastermind, and Shaun is a rock of a drummer to have in a band. Great upload!
Layne will always be my favorite singer too ❤🤗
Can’t forget Mike, the bass in this song is so good
@@Jfricke8 It's not that I forget him, I just know he caused a lot of problems and was anything but integral for the band. No offense, he was certainly part of the best of it, but things were far from normal at that point anyway. Take jerry away, and you got nothing in my opinion, not that mad season wasn't a success but that wasn't really a "group". I really just wanted to say nothing, but I got to be honest about it.
Jerry deserves a medal of some kind, he stuck by a buddy well past a point most wouldn't go near , as well as being a guitarist, singer ,etc, some times must have been hard to put up with long term.
Mike's bass game was on point that night damn
Layne being drunk and goofy on that interview makes this much more special, his drunk giggles on stage too. The outtakes are everything! "we're talking amonst ourselves" lmao
Mike would probably have a great career as a VJ or TV host had he just had the right conections and will power, I know that he loved this band until his last days but he shines at these lil improvs with interviewers
Oh man, Imagine the amount of unseen MTV footage from Layne and Mike from that time that are just laying around at a dusty ol' basement... We can only hope it will somehow get to yt like this did
Thank you so much for posting!
Sounds mysterious and adventurous looking for that footage in some dusty storage building
LOVED that hard riff Mike pulled in that close up...need more o' that!
The band never sounded the same after he was gone
His attack and sound added a lot
Drugs make you a social God for a while.
You’ll have better luck finding rare footage by looking on eBay & other trader den websites, someone *just* found new live footage of AIC in 1996 in a trade
I've always been impressed with Jerry's banging and Layne's head twisting to the rhythm. Showmanship/metal dancing.
best rock band of all time..imo
Sean was drumming his ass off, flying off his stool smashing his cymbals…
Takes a special kind of loser 😂
Them Bones is such a beast tune
Layne seemed like such a cool guy. And had the voice of an angel imo. I really wish I could've got the chance to see him live, this performance looked amazing
I've seen over a 100 concerts but Alice in chains is still in my top 3 Layne's voice live is incredible. I was in Seattle and saw the live a few times. I saw him with Mas Season to , it was totally epic!!!
@waspworld That's so awesome! I would've loved to see them live with Layne. Mad Season would've been epic as well, I love their Moore Theater show. I just saw Jerry last month, and it was amazing!
I was lucky enough to see them several times. The last performance I saw was lollapalooza 1993. He was so junked up he couldn’t remember the lyrics to several songs- sadly the crowd was booing him, it literally was so sad because they were a great live band. Rest Easy L.S 🙏🏻❤️🕊️
I got to see them in Australia a couple years ago. There was about 8 stages playing heavy metal all day long and they came out towards the end of the night. All the other stages shut down and they open up with Them Bones and fireworks and everything. Played all the hits and a few new songs. Made a lot of the metal bands look like pussy cats haha. It was an epic event. I definitely would've loved to see them with Layne but it was still a dream come true.
I knew him from 88 onward, and he was an awesome human & mega hilarious. A super sweet & kind guy with one weakness.
And because he got famous his weakness was out there for all to see.
And this haunted him until the end. He lived in shame, blaming himself for Mike S being out & then the Metallica tour they had to drop off & being famous & everyone knows you’re an addict, that makes it a million times harder to get clean.
When MTV was relevant..Partied back in the day listening to Alice In Chains, loved the band then and still do. Great vid
I read lanegans book recently which chronicles this period in AIC.He writes about the magical quality that Layne possessed and his talent for comedic face's.It just seems so sad that this person of extreme talent and beauty is no longer with us.
It's really strange I've never missed somebody so much that I've never actually met in person..
His death was a sacrafice to warn and save others from the same fate
@@rylanlittle261 so did Layne choose to sacrifice himself or did a higher power?
@@kskip4242 lol
moral of the story: stay away from heroin.
*6:28* How fucking great is Layne's guitar stance and wrists while he plays guitar?! Its too damn funny
It was the first thing I noticed lmao. Goofy as hell
Ha! When he changes chords, he moves at the elbow instead of his wrist… he also doesn’t seem to be using his middle finger much, except for to flip US the birdie (“on MTV”) 😂
I've never seen anyone look or feel so awkward with a guitar. The microphone was his natural "instrument." 😁
He looked so cute 💗
@@alfpacino8751You don’t generally use your middle finger anyway, especially on this song
This is the dynamic that the new Alice in Chains will never have..
SO glad that I got to see them a bunch of times back in the day. Amazing band. Them Bones is still SICK as FUCK.
You are so lucky! I didn't get into aic until way after Layne passed away. I saw Jerry Cantrell live once tho .....
I know laynes gone and mike too but they still rock dude
I saw them twice as well they brought the f#cking house down
@@malloryarroy9887 sorry if Layne was not there it is not AIC - I don't care what the ticket says - that was a once in a lifetime sound - when it is gone - it is gone . I have all the respect in the world for Jerry , Sean and there position in life and what they choose to do - bless them - but its not AIC for me
I am a old girl, from Washington State, who lived through all this madness. I love that on stage and during the interview, Layne or Link was laughing and chatting up... He is on another Realm but he knows we all still see him. I love this Group of misfits, love the music and Layne will live on... Cheers from Paradise...
Stanley and Cantrelll know how to fucking Kick Ass. That’s when Music was at the finest. Rip my friend. You will never be forgotten. Peace. Love you guys till I die.. I 56 years old and I know all the words you heart. You guys kick ass and rock….. There is no other Band out there that can perform like Alice n Chains…. Don’t Fuck with my boys ..Long live Alice n Chains….
Layne’s lil’ laugh filled my 🫀♾️
I love his laugh too,
I don't know why really, but in an increasingly cynical and messed up world, seeing Halle Berry bopping to Alice In Chains warms my heart.
hahaha that is so true!
Then someone like me has to come along and point out that the interview was with the only two dead members of the band. :(
Sorry.
"Bopping". You're adorable
@@-Ricky_Spanish- Were in AIC wormhole, Get the F*ck out here bro.
Add to the fact Dan Cortez says AIC is "his boys...." Then Layne sings about the dangers of heroin. Happy New Year everyone
Jerry has always had some of the heaviest guitar riffs ever and seeing his freestyle the solos was freakin epic!
Just like the Beatles and Jane's Addiction, and the Stones. Music is best when it is dangerous, unfamiliar and just fucking amazing. Ill always miss Layne.
Jane's addiction? About as dangerous as a banana
His giggle at 8:45 is just pure Layne 😌 I love the fact that he always spoke in his own natural way, his Kirkland accent always there, never any pretense. Love you, Layne ❤
@@Jerrycantrell018_no man, your the best.
I love that first scream, of Them Bones always gets me.
We miss you Layne.
Not a Kirkland accent UK( which is where most US place names originate from)
Wow, that interview almost brought me to tears. I never met either of them. But when Mike and Layne left us. I felt like I lost my friends
What's more important? Some music that corporate record label business's fund and commercialize then overkill these band members with nonstop touring dates and pressure them to lengthy traveling day in and day out......or peoples lives and living naturally and healthy?
I think the latter is what counts most.
These guys really nailed the 'grunge' aesthetic.
I was a month old at this time , damn listening to him when he was healthy & young brought me joy . I feel like an old soul , RIP Layne 👼
Thank you so much for this. This band is without question one those bands I deeply regret never seeing live and especially during this era. Their album "Dirt" just my opinion is one of the best hard rock albums of all time. It never gets old.
Same
Idiots are easily impressed by noise. 😀
I was 4 years old during this performance and when I see greatness on this level, it makes me wish I had been born even 15 years earlier so I could have seen them live 😢
Singing like a beast with a smoke in hand ❤️
I was 8 when this was performed....didn;t really start hearing AIC until about 1994/95 in Michigan. I remember hearing about Mr. Staley passing and being really sad. Such a great and timeless band. Playing this music into the ether,
So much good music coming out then.
I heard it in 1990, and I’m in Michigan’s upper peninsula. 🤷🏻♂️
I had just turned 5 shortly before this aired. I feel cheated out of never experiencing them in real time as a teen/adult but grateful for archives like this that preserve their legendary performances as well as Layne's memory ❤
Gotta love the Layne Staley head shake!
Hell yeah 😎🤗
Gotta hate the Layne Staley head nod at the same time.
RIP
It's like a punch in the gut every time I realize this was 30+ years ago. I miss the 90s so much.
I feel so lucky that I got to grow up when all of this great music was being made!
This is a 90s masterpiece right here I’m 20 years old and I’ve seen a lot of videos of Alice In Chains in the 90s man how I wish I could’ve been alive back then this was back when life was easier
It was an awesome time. I was 19 in 1992
Probably the best version of angry chair I’ve heard, thanks 👍
*30 years ago tonight!*
"Happy new year you fucks. You jerks." - LS
😂😂😂
Best band of all time
the way Layne giggles for after start with the screams of them bones. just a beautiful soul. deeply missed. RIP.
Ah yes, the good old days when autotune, backing tracks, and click tracks didn't suck all the 'life' out of 'live' concerts. Back when bands would just fucking play and not care if it wasn't 100% perfect, and the audience didn't care if it wasn't perfect either.
But it was perfect
The imperfections made it so perfect!!!
This was definitely perfect
There is still real live music today.
It's just not on MTV 😅
Amazing the level they at live.
Saw them three times with Layne. Was lucky enough to party with him twice. Unlike his image, Layne wasn't grim or morose. Instead he was a fun loving prankster, full of 🧬 life and energy. Had a Puckish quality, reminded me of an elf.
God I miss him. They'll never be another like him
He melted into his couch.
@@jerardnorgren3411lmao
I miss these times!! RIP Layne AIC ain’t the same without you 💔
I always loved to see Layne pick up a guitar . There aren't many pictures of that.I wish there was more.
Check him out on the Mad Season video for "I don't know anything" it's here on youtube
This is incredible!!!!! I’ve never seen it before. Layne is killing it, as is the entire band!!!
Thanks so much for uploading this♥️
Seans beats are so infectious
Even tired and cracking Laynes voice was amazing.
Absolutely wonderful to see this. These guys were so good live. Love seeing and hearing Layne in his prime.
Thanks so much for sharing and posting this dude!
30 years ago… rip Layne
Oh I so love Alice in Chains and lobe watching them play!! Thank you for sharing.
