Never knew that. I was always a big metal fan and in HS a buddy of mine got into grunge hard and thought I was weird for calling AiC a metal band. I got into them through metal bands though so that's probably why. I never really though about it to much till I met that dude. They defo had a heavier sound from a lot of acts at the time. Interesting stuff, I appreciate you sharing 🤘🤘
It's a shame really. The late 60's early 70's was 20 years before AIC. It been 33 years since Alice n Chains did this so yeah your right. However 99.9 percent of today's music sounds like sh!t so I guess I'm glad that I grew up on this kind of music.
I believe Layne sounded better live. No fancy digital enhancing needed when you have the most powerful voice in Seattle!! Layne was a god, but he was also very kind hearted. He was all around a great person who unfortunately was defeated by his demons. Thats was the tragedy in it all... he was a good person with a problem bigger than him.
This is 10000% facts. Jerry's riffs are so Ionnes inspired it's not even funny. If you've never heard Sabbath but are familiar with AIC.. go back and listen to Sabbath and it will all make sense. Same with Sound Garden
People that don't hear it aren't really listening . Jerry basically copied a lot of what Tony Iommi did . Like the doomy bends he does in many of his riffs , that became AIC trademark style . Also one of the riffs in the song Angry Chair , he clearly took from Into the Void . Jerry was no doubt highly influenced by Iommi .
I was straight wiped out when I found this!!! Dropped my guitar down a half step tuning & jammed this out with the band!!!! The half step down tuning & Layne Staley make this a completely different song
They "cover" living after midnight right after sweet leaf. Some of the lyrics are.....how should I say this......creatively enhanced for entertainment purposes
Hey mate! Thanks for your work! I really appreciate you giving us a better glimpse into Layne's talent with these hidden gems. Could you please do "Sludge Factory" from their 1996 Kemper area concert? Easily one of my favorite Layne recordings of all time, just the audio quality is not the best. You would make my year if you could do it, thanks so much bros
Hey!! Could you do this with their cover of Hunted Down by Soundgarden. (Possibly from this same recording because they also did Sweet Leaf on the one I heard)
Lyrics Alright now! Won't you listen? When I first met you, didn't realize I can't forget you or your surprise You introduced me to my mind And left me wanting you and your kind Oh, yeah I love you Oh, you know it My life was empty, forever on a down Until you took me, showed me around My life is free now, my life is clear I love you sweet leaf, though you can't hear Oh, yeah baby! Come on now, try it out! Straight people don't know what you're about They put you down and shut you out You gave to me a new belief And soon the world will love you sweet leaf Oh, yeah baby! Come on now, try it out! Oh, yeah!
When asked about what makes music "grunge," Layne replied, "Dafuq would we know, we're a metal band."

AIC is a metal band no doubt
@@revwillyg6450 hard Rock. Not much metal.
@@kimchandler We Die Young and Last of my Kind not metal enough for you? Ok, it's all subjective I suppose
Specifically, the slow blues groove makes it Doom Metal or Stoner Metal.
But yes, definitely Metal.
Layne sounds great!
As usual
It was his birthday that night
91" Layne was insane
Tell me when he isn’t ill give you money
@@kauangabriel3657 96..
Sweet Leaf was more recent to Alice in Chains here than this clip is to us now.

@@JeremiahMccowan Cleopatrick and Reignwolf are contemporary rock favorites, and Meshuggah, altho that's a different flavor.
I'm a huge AIC fan & I've never heard this before. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for listening! :)
me too.
X3
this is real?
Same 😮😮😮😮
@@alejandrovintyeah there’s video of it too that’s where the sbd audio is from
Wish they had put this on a CD. Amazing live imagine in the studio

I listen to my AIC live cd almost more than the albums
@@rickdavis4740Was he really defeated by his demons? We still love him and his music.
You don't know what this means to me. I'm so pumped to be hearing something new to me from one of the best bands to ever exist
There’s footage of this too bro look up Alice in chains live 91 vidcab, it’s from bogarts Cincinnati 91
which one
❤❤❤
@@PoopSauce1369 I need answers
@@peddr.o huh?
I was lucky enough to witness this live in Cincinnati, it was Laynes birthday as well.
I was at that show. Bogarts. 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
In my opinion you are one of the luckiest people alive!! I would’ve killed to have been there, wow!!!
The sheer power, range, and precision of Layne’s voice never ceases to amaze me.
Layne suplexing the band is what I needed today.
Found out about this today on Instagram. Freaking phenomenal
Same this is so dope
Same here mate!
Geezer Butler is one of the best songwriters of all time. This is a gem!
didnt you hear Layne at the start? its a little ditty they wrote themselves! totally and completely original
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣@@VexedSpartan117
Awesome bassist too!
@@VexedSpartan117this is a sabbath song..what layne said at the beginning was a joke
@@the_real_MarcGyver neither i or layne staley have ever made a single joke in our entire lives
2 of my favorite bands in one song. This validates my argument that AIC was Sabbath Jr, in the best way.
This is 10000% facts.
Jerry's riffs are so Ionnes inspired it's not even funny.
If you've never heard Sabbath but are familiar with AIC.. go back and listen to Sabbath and it will all make sense.
Same with Sound Garden
@@morelife6508 absolutely correct
Sleep.
X2
This is true?
Yep those riffs are def up sabbaths alley!
praise sabbath for inventing grunge 🙌
I think you mean heavy metal 🤘🏻
I always point out the connection between AIC and BS, but nobody else seems to hear it. I always said that Dirt was a 90s version of Paranoid.
People that don't hear it aren't really listening . Jerry basically copied a lot of what Tony Iommi did . Like the doomy bends he does in many of his riffs , that became AIC trademark style .

Evolution
How could I never have heard this before!?! WTF¡?!?
Hey, you can find the video on youtube, its the live from Cincinnati 1991
@@9th_note
Thanks for sharing Mr. Buzzkill😅
@@9th_noteThe forgetting words was intentional. He shorten the song a bit. Other bands do the same to make it their own.
Same here.
Omg! Thanks for sharing. Im going to check it out on utube.
Lane could wale , rock on !
You can always tell the casual AIC fans lol…all props to Layne, none to Jerry 😂
Bullshit. What’s your fucking credentials then?
I can't be casual then, Cantrell is in my top ten favourite axe men.
Correct.
tbf neither of them wrote this song
And Sean killing it too
First time I ever saw AIC was in a club Seattle (a couple times). This is awesome quality. I cried for both Layne and Chris. Miss them both dearly.
How have I never heard this? Awesome
Same her ar here.
This needs to be on streaming
WHAT THE!?!?!?!?! :O i never knew they did a cover! thank you for this!!!!!!!!
Hey, you can find the video on youtube, its the live from Cincinnati 1991
Was this from Bogart's in Cincinnati 1991 Layne's Birthday Show? If so, I think I have a digital in .mp4 of this entire show!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
@@zman0729 post it, man!!!!
Merry Christmas to me😅 I am 43 years young and not only have I never heard this but I never knew they covered any black sabbath songs!
I was straight wiped out when I found this!!! Dropped my guitar down a half step tuning & jammed this out with the band!!!! The half step down tuning & Layne Staley make this a completely different song
Like a lot of covers, I was expecting an incorrect title or an AI generation.
Friggin awesome dude.
Always wanted to hear Layne on those old Sabbath records!
I saw them open up for Extreme before anyone knew who they were in 1990
This takes me back to the mid 90s when I got to see them in concert with White Zombie. That was a fifteenth birthday I won't ever forget.
Damn, thanks algorithm!! ive always loved the sabbath version, but Layne KILLED IT!!
Amazing work! I love how how accurately they reproduced Sabbath's guitar and vocal effects. Obviously you can hear a ton of Sabbath influence on Dirt
Wow, excellent!!!! Sabbath and AIC are 2 of my favourite bands!!!
💔Layne💔
Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever heard AIC ever do a cover before.
They "cover" living after midnight right after sweet leaf. Some of the lyrics are.....how should I say this......creatively enhanced for entertainment purposes
That nurtured my soul.
Same! I am still pissed that someone thought it was a good idea for Jelly Roll to sing at Ozzie's introduction into the Hall of Fame! Like wtf???
I always said that the only voice that remember me Ozzy Osbourne was Layne Staley. I think this record shows I was not crazy!
All good metal bands took some Sabbath and Zeppelin DNA.
And deep purple.
Doesn't get much better than this
I'm really waiting for their official release, I hope
The fuck, how?
I had no idea how bad i needed this. Thank you.....
Can’t believe after all these years I hadn’t heard this! Layne rips. I’ve always felt a Sabbath/Pantera/AIC connection
Hey mate! Thanks for your work! I really appreciate you giving us a better glimpse into Layne's talent with these hidden gems. Could you please do "Sludge Factory" from their 1996 Kemper area concert? Easily one of my favorite Layne recordings of all time, just the audio quality is not the best.

Hey, thank you.
I've just checked the kemper live, the audio quality is very rough but i'll try to do something
th-cam.com/video/zLuPcWbv6S0/w-d-xo.html There, I did what I could, it's far from perfect
the whole show was professionally recorded so i wish it would be released in high-fidelity someday
Unbelievable cover ❤❤❤
Awesome man, never heard this before
This just made my day.
And this is why AIC was by far the best Seattle band
Great cover !
I love you Sweet Leaf!!!!!
Layne's pipes are badass!
Thank you! I can’t believe I’ve never heard this!
Really cool. Thanks for sharing!
Love this!!
So glad this is remastered
AWESOME HOW CAN I GET THIS ON MY PLAYER???? LAYNE I MISS YOU!!!!!!
Wow, just wow!
Thank you.
Best rock band of the 90s
this brilliant cover of the Sabbath's masterpiece was performed in Cincinnati, Ohio. that same day Layne Staley turned 24.
such a kick ass cover
Best cover!❤
Ohhhhh this was rare! It sounds so much better!
Those last two groans were great 🤘
MY FUCKIN GOD THIS IS BRILLIANT
Oh shit…..now this is dope! Never heard this till today. Match made in heaven!❤
This is the best thing I ever heard
That is monsterous singing live!!!!! Layne rocked!! Thanks but where's the rest??? (we are so greedy!)
Hey, the rest is there th-cam.com/video/sAMKaHhjHWg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=nerojotun
Hell yeah 🔥
Thanks a lot for this remaster !
Fitting, heavy, powerful.
Gives me chills...
91...was that when they were playing the Monsters of Metal tour or something like that??
this is insane thank you so much sire
Didn't even know this existed. nice
I've never heard this song before. But the rift does sound very familiar. Cool stuff.
Well, I know why the Rift sounds familiar it's because it's a Black Sabbath Song.
Time to go down the black Sabbath rabbit hole 🕳
WHAT!?! SO GREAT!!!
HANDS DOWN.GREAT ONE!🤘🏻
Amazing
damn this goes hard
Imagine the amount of double-sided tape required to suspend 3 rock musicians from the ceiling by their feet. Just mind blowing.
Man, Layne would had nailed snowblind
Awesome
Damn. This is awesome.
Bro, I never knew they did a cover of sweet leaf.
Hey!! Could you do this with their cover of Hunted Down by Soundgarden. (Possibly from this same recording because they also did Sweet Leaf on the one I heard)
Oooh yeahhh
Thanks
Thank you! ☮️👍🏼
Sounds great. Shame you didnt remaster the whole medley that this clip comes from
Thanks, I might do it
Do it :)
@@nerojotunpleaaase do 😢 !
Heavy
God, I miss him. :(
This is so fucking awesome!
😎 cool 🤟
Sweet! ❤
Cool
Jerry got his amps cranked to 11
Sick 🤘
How have I never heard this??
Not the biggest Sabbath fan, I do like them, this is one of my favourites. Fairy’s wear boots is a banger too.
Awesome, thanks. I also love me some sweet leaf.
Lyrics
Alright now!
Won't you listen?
When I first met you, didn't realize
I can't forget you or your surprise
You introduced me to my mind
And left me wanting you and your kind
Oh, yeah
I love you
Oh, you know it
My life was empty, forever on a down
Until you took me, showed me around
My life is free now, my life is clear
I love you sweet leaf, though you can't hear
Oh, yeah baby!
Come on now, try it out!
Straight people don't know what you're about
They put you down and shut you out
You gave to me a new belief
And soon the world will love you sweet leaf
Oh, yeah baby!
Come on now, try it out!
Oh, yeah!
didnt know ozzy could write alice in chains songs so well lol
Faltou a fase do BS com Staley
Verão original ou IA?
Fala que é da live em Cincinatti de 1991, só ouvindo a gravação original pra saber...
Wish they would have put this on an album. Very worthy cover 🖤✨ for me, only Layne could surpass ozzy Lol ⛓⛓
