Jerry has laid down some of the heaviest, dirtiest and sludgiest riffs of all time and the fact that Elton John inspired him to take up music and how he pushes himself to make something that could be compared to the Beatles is just beyond cool to me. Jerry is just the coolest dude
Ever...I've seen Jerry play live 4 times, from the 90s to a handful of years ago when I took my daughter to see them as her first rock show. Every bit as great and more impressive as either. We both love Jerry and Alice in Chains.
Didn’t get me wrong Layne is probably one of my favorite singers ever .. easily in my top 5 ... or even top 3 ...but everyone always praises him for his work and they never say too much about Jerry ... he’s so underrated...I’m sure Jerry Cantrell put so much of himself in every AIC song maybe more anyone else in the band and he’s tho reason they were truly an amazing band ... he pushed the art ... it’s funny that he said that about a lot of the picks he had ... he spoke about the Feel of the songs and the Feel that those bands created ... I think that’s the main reason I love AIC ... the feelings of sorrow ... loneliness.... pain ... Jerry is such a great musician 🙌🏻
@@maggiethecat1538 Bunch of hippies lol btw if you take that stuff seriously focus on the sidereal zodiac, the tropical is a waste of time. But I agree, Jerry Cantrell is an absolute legend, he did the majority of the songwriting when Layne was in the band! Not to say he wasn't an extremely talented songwriter himself, both from what Jerry has said in the past about how he would compose and write his own personal stuff and how he contributed I think most lyrics to songs on the tripod album, it's obvious that Layne was pretty talented aswell! Not just as a singer, but yeah I think both are and were pretty sensitive souls! Jerry is a Pisces Sun and Ascendant, but he's actually a Capricorn moon! As for Layne, I think he was a Leo Sun and Ascendant with a Pisces moon sign!
"You know my parents ate a lot of salad and onions, so I picked up an onion just because it brought me right back there in the kitchen listening to them onions sizzlin' and seeing my father cry. That's the only time he would cry you know? Frying up those onions. I couldn't find salad, but I picked up kale instead which is the closest thing. So yeah, this kale is for you, mom. It's not salad, but yeah. Kale's pretty damn good too."
Wow, best “In my Bag” yet...not once did he attempt to be cool, he just went with what was pivotal for him and his journey... (Which is why Alice In Chains Facelift&Dirt would be in my bag)
One of the most underrated singer/songwriter guitar players in rock history. We cannot lose Jerry Cantrell. He's a national rock treasure! Dark but full of melody and then light. Sludge riffs, dissonant music, clean beautiful melodic guitar lines...man can do it all.. I respect him so much
You’ll notice that every Seattle bands of the early 90s were huge Beatle fans. I think that’s what made that era so special. They mixed punk with melody
Have loved Jerry's mastery of songwriting, harmony, and guitar expertise for more than 25 years. This man made my life better from my adolescent years through my rapidly approaching middle age. Love you, Jerry.
Yes. Millions of dollars earned; multiple Grammy nominations; over *thirty million* records sold; 6 top ten albums; 18 top ten songs; dozens of awards; millions of youtube views; heavy radio rotation still 30 years after his debut; a spot on every "greatest guitarists of all time" list ever made; and dozens of other awards, honors, and magazine covers.... Yeah, totally "underrated", babe.
Dave Carsley when an artist is good they’re alway “uNdErRaTeD” it gets old, at this point you can say any artist is underrated. It’s an over used term for sure. Like one ones going around saying that jerry isn’t a great guitarist, that would be under rating him, he might not be talked about as much as some other guitarist that came before him but that doesn’t make someone under rated, underrating someone makes them underrated. Funny how that works
The impact Jerry has had on the music world is immense and not enough people know. He's incredible writer & musician. 🤍 I truly enjoy when an updated video pops up with his face. I love being reminded that he's still here with us.
I like the fact that Jerry didn’t try to be obscure. He bought the albums that he likes, and didn’t go for the Cliché, elitist albums that nobody has heard of. I read people for a living, and it’s clear that Jerry Cantrell is a genuine, down to earth, nice guy. I want this candles!!
THANK you. Common sense in comments is so rare! He is very laid-back or at least always seems to be in interviews, some people want him to be a wild weirdo perhaps.. But those same people would also complain if he was a pretentious bigheaded rock star too, I bet.
I sure hope you're a cop or an army Intel officer dude...you must use it (your mad people reading skills) for good and not evil grasshopper....[seriously. we need more good detectives, guys who are naturals and move fast. AND men who Think fast... CORRECTLY. "Fast is fine, but accuracy is final."] Only other job that your skills would be awesome is HS principal or vp. 🤣🤣
thats actually what i hated, that he got all those safe records that everybody on the planet owns. i usually come to this segment with the hopes to see something new and obscure.
Carolina1 And one more thing... you damn kids get off my lawn! Gawd, so much of Gen X sounds no different than the uptight and holier than thou generation that came before them with all their millennial tirades. “Kids these days...” yeah, yeah. This ad nauseam has been said throughout all of human history, but of course the older generation these days are obsessed with disparaging millennials like no generation that came before (millennials are actually getting up there though - no teenager/under 21 in the world counts as a millennial, so 10 years from now when you’re musing about the “real” and good ol’ days, make sure youse older know-it-alls start referring to the youngest and seemingly clueless and devoid of good taste generation as Generation Z... nah, that’s asking too much from y’all). Anyway, good for you for being the real sanctimonious one! 😁 I guess, that’s life! That’s liiiiiiiiiiiife!!!
I knew the hipsters would be coming out of the woodwork trashing Jerry's mainstream picks on this. The reality is I think he was being honest and basically showing everyone the groundwork for what truly influenced him to be one of the greatest tone masters in the world of guitar. The funny thing is, most people don't realize how influential these albums were, nor do they realize how many albums were created with a goal to achieve the feel of these pieces of classic rock. Whether people want to recognize it or not, just Back in Black alone is the impetus for so many really great albums that came after it. Everyone of those albums are a blueprint for making something really magical- because that's what they were. Anyone that makes music for pure enjoyment and pushes to reach a level of very high craftsmanship can understand these picks, especially from somebody as successful and creative in his own rite.
Yeah, I know- people realize these albums were influential. But I was trying (unsuccessfully) to say that there were and are a lot of producers that really used specific aspects of what was a achieved on these albums as a benchmark for much of the work they created. A lot of the nuances, from the sounds of particular instruments, to the reverb effects used, to how it was mixed- was a blueprint for so much music. Beyond what most realize.
I LOVE this picks. Rather than do what most people on this show do which is to list down a litany of obscure artists that they might not even listen to as much, Jerry decided to pick music that speaks to him, that continues to influence and inspire his own music. Straight to the classics and there's nothing wrong with that. Nothing pretentious too.
I disagree. He already has this stuff in his collection and grew up with it. I doubt he would really get that stuff if it wasn't filmed. I mean maybe I have not seen enough of these I know some people want to be "different" but a lot of it I can picture the artist listening to.
Jerry is real down to earth. He bucks the Amoeba norm, and actually names records everyone has heard of....instead of the cliche "My first album is by Left Foot Stinky McGee and the Indiana School marms, who really influenced my early years through their use of wooden spoons and hair spray" shtick.
Jerry's an all time favorite human being for sure, saw him in Arkansas, was a bucket list experience for me. Dude is one of my heroes and a great friend even though we've never met.
Considering the material Cantrell has played over time, his bag is not as heavy as he looks. Of course Sabbath, but it's cool that he puts Rumors and Elton John in there too. Btw.. what's wrong with loving your roots? This is about finding what's important to him and of course he's gonna dig up some Beatles or Sabbath for it.
Jerry Cantrell is to me as these artist’s are to him. Jerry’s song writing & guitar playing will also stand the test of time. What an inspiration! Thank you Jerry for all the great music!!
Love this series, growing up I might read an interview with my favourite artists & catch them quoting their influences, found so many great bands that way. Your channel is the evolution of that joy of discovering new music, thank you 🙏 🤛
Terrific episode! One of my 2 favorites...the other being Wolf Parade's Dan Boeckner & Arlen Thompson. These are like learning the history behind musicians' inspirations & creativity - Very much appreciate when the artists are well-spoken, well rounded & know music history beyond their own particular genres - Jerry is not only phenomenal guitarist, but seems genuine & down-to-earth as well!
Finally an artist that has an all around great taste in music that I can relate to. Most artists try to come up with crap you never heard of as to be cool! Except Katy Sagal. What a blues woman!
Jerry, you’re awesome! The pleasure is mine. Your music has meant so much to me through the years. I was there for Facelift and MTV. Even bought a G&L that I dig. Thank you sir!
Seriously I wish I could hug him. One of my favorite musicians ever. Voice of an Angel and guitar god. I love him and Toni Iommi. Favorite guitarists for sure.
These videos of what’s in my bag ? I think are extremely important to not only rock music but all of music as a history and to preserve its legacy as an art form. Made me subscribe immediately !
I’ve been a fan of Jerry Cantrell for such a long ass time! He’s pretty much was left of AIC back in the Layne days. I really respect this man, & his career very soft spoken & has a big heart ❤️
Didn’t get me wrong Layne is probably one of my favorite singers ever .. easily in my top 5 ... or even top 3 ...but everyone always praises him for his work and they never say too much about Jerry ... he’s so underrated...I’m sure Jerry Cantrell put so much of himself in every AIC song maybe more than anyone else in the band and he’s the reason they were truly an amazing band ... he pushed the art ... it’s funny that he mentioned that about a lot of the picks he had ... he spoke about the Feel of the songs and the Feel that those bands created ... I think that’s the main reason I love AIC ... the feelings of sorrow ... loneliness.... pain ... Jerry is such a great musician 🙌🏻 thank you for your amazing legacy Jerry ❤️
Met Jerry back in the 90's, one of my favorite players from that decade - this is great insight on a point I've always tried to pass on about influences in that the great players allow any good music to influence them and usually like much more music than many of the listeners
I saw AIC open for Anthrax, Megadeth, and Slayer on the Clash of the Titans tour in the early 90's. Relatively unknown, they blew those other bands away. Jerry is such an incredible song writer. Their albums are all killer, no filler.
Aside from a very nice interview and look at what inspired Jerry. I have to say, I think is so underrated as a guitar player. He really plays to what the song is asking for, and when you gives you taste of what he's capable of doing (technically) it's about as good as you're going to get. He really has a nice flavor for phrasing, dynamics, feel, and groove. Thanks for the cool interview Jerry!
Gotta lol at those on here dissing this vid/Jerry on the basis that he's only revealed music he enjoyed/ influenced him and not chosen a selection of obscure music from the past or used the opportunity to plug lesser known current bands. Interesting vid and a big thumbs up from me to him for choosing Black Sabbath and the Beatles :)
This is hands down the closest bag to what my bag would be. Jerry is the man. If you’ve ever have watched him live, he just plays to his section of the crowd. Stage left. It’s awesome
annoyingnoahVG grunge does not exist as a musical genre stupid fucktards. There is nothing in common in the music of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and AIC.
Amazing human being. That’s why AIC is still “alive”! Jerry is the man! Now I understand why I like them. Jerry writes thru their sound with his words!there is only one Layne. Jerry is the mind behind...
Even though I was never really deep into AiC, I keep watching videos with them on youtube. They just seemed like a real band of actually good friends. Something cool and relatable about them.
I love how he picks the music that everyone doesn’t want to see ... all these Music geeks expect for all these no name bands wit no fame but Jerry tells you .. “ Hey .. The Beatles are great , AC/DC rocks , Elton John is such a great musician..I love country music and Willie and Cash are amazing .. ZZ Top is the shit... Judas Priest is great metal ... I love Fleetwood Mac ... “ those are the artists that might have a lot of success because they innovate and influence so many... they may get hate from these idiots who think they know better music ... but Jerry is true to himself and doesn’t care what negativity might come his way ... 🤷🏻♂️ maybe that’s why his music is so great ... I’m just really surprised that he didn’t add any Metallica to his bag 😂
Great Interview; more him talking than filler graphics and voice-overs! Sign of a true musician is their ability to see musical genius in all music- Cantrell is a bold musician tempered with a deftness for the sublime.
Jerry is on a very short list for "Nicest, most down to earth rockers."
The list is quite huge really if you crossover into metal includes all the guys from BOC, Obituary, David Vincent, singer of Death Angel and so on
Perfect match against Dave Ghrol
@@elvissorna8861 +Add TOOL to that list
Right beside Dave Grohl
❤❤❤
Jerry has laid down some of the heaviest, dirtiest and sludgiest riffs of all time and the fact that Elton John inspired him to take up music and how he pushes himself to make something that could be compared to the Beatles is just beyond cool to me. Jerry is just the coolest dude
Steven Moneypenny Kerry King is a big Elton John fan as well.
Rob Zombie quoted Elton as his biggest hero as well.
Such a great comment 🤘🏆
Yeah, we could get along I bet 🤘
Elton is probably the most influential frontman in pop rock history.
Jerry Cantrell is one of the greatest guitar players of the 90's

Didnt even think twice. Just clicked it right away.

Wow, best “In my Bag” yet...not once did he attempt to be cool, he just went with what was pivotal for him and his journey...
(Which is why Alice In Chains Facelift&Dirt would be in my bag)
Jerry and Layne's vocals are some of the greatest of all time.
Patrick Garrett I will never stop listening to them especially nutshell my all time favorite !
I saw them only once at their peak in 1993 - back in Belgium . Only concert they ever gave around here in the 90's .
When he says "Elton John made him want to be a musician" I wish i could tell Jerry, Hes the one that made me want to be a musician.
❤️🙏
One of the most underrated singer/songwriter guitar players in rock history. We cannot lose Jerry Cantrell. He's a national rock treasure! Dark but full of melody and then light. Sludge riffs, dissonant music, clean beautiful melodic guitar lines...man can do it all.. I respect him so much
We just watched Jerry Cantrell buy candles. The internet, ladies and gentlemen.
And we fucking loved every second
Dude check out his instagram. He posts videos of his cats.
Johnny Cash AND Willie Nelson candles, dont forget.....
Hahaha
you know he likely amazon'd those mother fuckers but thats even funnier in itself lolol
One my favorite artist of all time!!! He’s one of the few remaining musical legends still alive!!! Protect him at all costs!!!!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽
I argee! What part of Houston are you from?
You’ll notice that every Seattle bands of the early 90s were huge Beatle fans. I think that’s what made that era so special. They mixed punk with melody
Awesome. Jerry just seems like a good dude, who happens to be one of the best.
He's my step daughters cousin
@@pettyqueen5504 That's pretty cool!

Knowing the idols of your favourite musicians is also important in creating your musical imagination

"Greatest tone masters in the world of guitar" - *cringe*
@@skystudios2474 Cantrel IS the master of tone. Its massive, dirty and sludgy. No one else sounds like him. He's got a distinctive sound.
@@rumblefish9 His tone is fine, but the way the OP said it made me cringe.
Jerry Cantrell is a legend and one of my favorite musician, guitarist, people of all time.
Alice In Chains is my favorite band. Jerry Cantrell is my favorite guitarist along with Allen Collins. “Rainier Fog” is a great album & I bought it.
When he pulled out "Rumors" I knew he was my spirit animal!

Count the head lice on the highway
I'd say Elton really does wish for that. LOL!

AWESOME! I saw AIC open for Ozzy in 92. It was my first concert. Jerry was the reason that I became a guitar player.
Love Jerry’s choices. No pretense at all. Just goes for the straight ahead classics! 🤘🏻😎
Exactly.
Yeah, but surely he already has all these albums?
maybe he already has them on CD but wanted to pick up vinyl copies as well
Just a little surprised he didn't already have those in his collection.
My thoughts exactly! He showed his love for the real classics!! When music WAS REAL
People born after 1980 have no idea how amazing these artists were when the musical landscape was so new.

Finally. Thank you, Amoeba ♥♥
Saw Jerry solo band live by accident in 98? or maybe 96 late 90's! and a fan ever since. Hes in a class on his own.
Many of my favorites as well. I love that he picked Sabbath Paranoid. Because for me Tony Iommi and Jerry are both riff masters.

Didn’t get me wrong Layne is probably one of my favorite singers ever .. easily in my top 5 ... or even top 3 ...but everyone always praises him for his work and they never say too much about Jerry ... he’s so underrated...I’m sure Jerry Cantrell put so much of himself in every AIC song maybe more than anyone else in the band and he’s the reason they were truly an amazing band ... he pushed the art ... it’s funny that he mentioned that about a lot of the picks he had ... he spoke about the Feel of the songs and the Feel that those bands created ... I think that’s the main reason I love AIC ... the feelings of sorrow ... loneliness.... pain ... Jerry is such a great musician 🙌🏻 thank you for your amazing legacy Jerry ❤️
Jerry one of the best guitarist of the early 90s movement for sure 😎👊🤘🤟🤘🤟
Not only one of the most underrated guitarists in music history but his vocal harmonies makes Alice what it was.
Jerry and I are the same age so all of his picks are right up my alley. Love Alice in Chains. My favorite 90's band.
Jerry is such a down to earth guy
Love to hear talented artists talking about music. Thanks Jerry!
How can you not love this guy?!
Met Jerry back in the 90's, one of my favorite players from that decade - this is great insight on a point I've always tried to pass on about influences in that the great players allow any good music to influence them and usually like much more music than many of the listeners
Jerry is such a fascinating musician, with some mad chops himself.
Jerry is such a great artist. All of those artist in his bag are also great. He seems very down to earth. Thanks for the interview.
I saw AIC open for Anthrax, Megadeth, and Slayer on the Clash of the Titans tour in the early 90's. Relatively unknown, they blew those other bands away. Jerry is such an incredible song writer. Their albums are all killer, no filler.
Jerry is the man love everything he has done !! Just an outstanding guitar player and song writer
All his record choices are brilliant. Jerry is a legend!
Aside from a very nice interview and look at what inspired Jerry. I have to say, I think is so underrated as a guitar player. He really plays to what the song is asking for, and when you gives you taste of what he's capable of doing (technically) it's about as good as you're going to get. He really has a nice flavor for phrasing, dynamics, feel, and groove. Thanks for the cool interview Jerry!
I absolutely love this store👍👍👍 and Jerry, you rock 🎸🎶🎵
Love Jerry! Class act! Every single album he had in his bag are my favs!
Gotta lol at those on here dissing this vid/Jerry on the basis that he's only revealed music he enjoyed/ influenced him and not chosen a selection of obscure music from the past or used the opportunity to plug lesser known current bands. Interesting vid and a big thumbs up from me to him for choosing Black Sabbath and the Beatles :)
That was so cool to see JC totally chill and giving so much of himself for the interview. Great job!
Stevie nicks ♥️
You are a legend Jerry. God bless, your performance in Denver was awesome!
Jerry is a living, breathing part of rock's beating heart. 🤙🏽
This is hands down the closest bag to what my bag would be. Jerry is the man. If you’ve ever have watched him live, he just plays to his section of the crowd. Stage left. It’s awesome
Jerry you are a beautiful soul.
What a great eclectic bag. Great for any young musician to see. It’s not about genres or styles, use it all cos it’s all great.
A real god of grunge!!
annoyingnoahVG, metal. Jerry said he never liked the grunge label and preferred to be called metal.
ignorant fucktard
@Tyler Smash sad
annoyingnoahVG grunge does not exist as a musical genre stupid fucktards. There is nothing in common in the music of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and AIC.
So glad Jerry got to enjoy so much, Saw ACDC Cinderella opened up for them! Elton was like a all day album during the summer. Saw FWM!
jerry cantrell is a big time living LEGEND
!!!
Thank guys I love this page, always looking forwarding into seeing everyones bag of goodies.
I love Jerry’s demeanor. Is it just me or is his face starting to morph into Mona Lisa?
Haha his whole being is art ❤️
Mona Lisa/future Edward Norton:-)))
Mona Lisa? Yeah a little 😂
Amazing human being. That’s why AIC is still “alive”! Jerry is the man! Now I understand why I like them. Jerry writes thru their sound with his words!there is only one Layne. Jerry is the mind behind...
Anybody put this together? the Elton John songs had high orchestra effects. Reminds me of “I Stay Away” . One of the best songs EVER!
He's 52
Even though I was never really deep into AiC, I keep watching videos with them on youtube. They just seemed like a real band of actually good friends. Something cool and relatable about them.
I love how he picks the music that everyone doesn’t want to see ... all these Music geeks expect for all these no name bands wit no fame but Jerry tells you .. “ Hey .. The Beatles are great , AC/DC rocks , Elton John is such a great musician..I love country music and Willie and Cash are amazing .. ZZ Top is the shit... Judas Priest is great metal ... I love Fleetwood Mac ... “ those are the artists that might have a lot of success because they innovate and influence so many... they may get hate from these idiots who think they know better music ... but Jerry is true to himself and doesn’t care what negativity might come his way ... 🤷🏻♂️ maybe that’s why his music is so great ... I’m just really surprised that he didn’t add any Metallica to his bag 😂
Great Interview; more him talking than filler graphics and voice-overs! Sign of a true musician is their ability to see musical genius in all music- Cantrell is a bold musician tempered with a deftness for the sublime.
Jerry is looking more and more like Johnny winter everyday.
He was always an elf from Lord of the rings.
@@Juanirva lmao can you not
