Agree, I saw them in 2018 and Jerry sounded awesome, way way better voice than DuVall tbh. Layne had "the power" where as DuVall really has to dig deep and still comes up short. Just my worthless opinion of course.
Please *stop* all this crap about Jerry Cantrell being underrated, these kind of comments are on almost every single AIC video. He is a multi millionaire who has had a very successful career for 30 years both as a solo artist and with AIC, and he is revered by his peers. How exactly is that underrated, dumbass?
@@paulph12002 There's all the Layne dick riders thats a start. He's underrated by the rock audience not by his peers or collegues. He was one of the panel judges for Rolling Stone's top 100 guitarists of all time so its not like they don't recognize his legacy. He aint underrated by other musicians just by music listeners.
90s were great in general honestly. AIC, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Megadeth, Pantera, Guns 'n Roses Metallica's Black Album and Dream Theater. There was just so much damn good rock and metal music.
I absolutely love the transition from the more psychedelic guitar tone in the verses to the straight up sludge metal perfection in the chorus. That and the best harmony in hard rock/metal history between Layne and Jerry.
Sean Kinney is a badass drummer. He plays to the song and puts his stamp on it. Nobody is ever going to mention him as one of the greatest drummers but that's what makes him so good. He is perfect in this song. Nobody could play this like him.
No one, i repeat no one can get the hi hats right on Would after all these years. Go listen and compare it to every cover out there. Amazing drummer indeed
Really nice guy, met him at The Central when Alice opened up for Tora Tora. Just sitting at the bar having a beer.. Alice blew them away. They couldn't play their set fast enough to get the hell out of Seattle lol... Good Times !!
Brilliant songwriter. As a guitarist, he's not flashy at all. Sure there are other guitarist who are better - technically better - but Jerry is able to edit himself to know exactly what the song needs just right. His solo on Nutshell remains my favorite to this day. Its simple but he pours out his heart on that solo and every solo for that matter. Also really good vocalist who's gotten better with age and experience.
I'm twenty and the first time i heard AIC i got impressed, i listen to this even though my generation probably doesn't even know about their existence. Those harmonies,vocals and melodies are timeless and unique.
I'm glad to see another like minded individual...they just have so many bangers and they all put you in some type of mindset..takes a real band to do that
Everyone is starting to do it now. Dissociation. Layne will always be in my blood. My eldest son Zakk (Wilde) Layne McAndrew, was meant to be. Love all you A.I.C. fans
I'd come home from high school and stuff like this would be playing on MTV like no big deal. That was life...had no idea I was growing up in the most badass time for music. Anyone have a time machine?
It's ok its in our nature to take things for granted. I just wish I would had been a teenager then I would have loved it. My teen years people loved lil wayne and tpain and watched Jersey shore... talking about some shitty years.
I was a teenager then. You’re SO right about taking things for granted… cause I did. I think a lot of us did. Looking back now with today’s music(not all, but most), yeah, hindsight man…
I often think about this, I remember at that time thinking what will ever top this . Nothing ever has . Music is truly washed up and has been for more than a decade . Nothing will ever top that time we were lucky we got to experience it ,
@@patmannella2110 very true. As a music lover I would like to think something that special will come along again but in my heart of hearts I believe your right that nothing will ever top that place in time ever again.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH.... YEAH!! HYEAAAAHHHAAAHAHAH OWWWWWWWOWWOW YEAHAAAHAHAAAHHHHH!!! - Layne Staley (best part is I get more from those yeahs than any other bands entire lyrical output)
Alice in Chains, how can one band kick so much ass? The raw carnage that is Alice in Chains. Layne Staley will live in rock n roll forever and eternity.
Tyler Taws: "Raw Carnage" -- oh my god, so perfectly said. Layne just tore into himself and spewed it out, with no apologies or inhibitions. Thank fucking god for Layne and AIC.
Its a Pacific northwest thing i think.it rains alot etc so we stay inside and jam our own stuff.i play extreme metal im 34.if this was 86-95 id be a grunge dude.it still exists but different
I think it is so freaking awesome how the age of AIC fans ranges from early teens to people pushing 70! ( yes I know several old hippies into them ). I am about the age of Jerry...and it just does not freaking matter. Layne lives on forever in our hearts. And thank God for Jerry and the guys. keep rocking... Peace
Oh yes.. 53 here and I cannot get enough AIC. I love Layne and jerry..their music every song fills my souls with so much energy and happiness! All day every day I need them!
my old boss and my dad are both in their 60s and are who turned me onto chains...they grew up listening to SRV, clapton, journey, zeppelin, zz top, etc...AIC will remaim timeless always, this is TRUE good music
People that didn't acknowledge the importance of the whole band didn't really "listen" to them. Classic AIC was basically a trio and Mike knew how to anchor it without being just a root thumper. Imho, right up there with Michael Anthony.
Inez is the man, nothing against Starr but they upgraded getting Inez and he had a major impact on jar of flies, much bigger impact than Starr had on any AIC project
@@puppetmaster8551 that's all your opinion, not rooted in fact at all but what is provable is that Starr played a role in the band hitting the big time; hitting the big time in music is as likely as winning powerball and every band member who was there helped work a miracle.
Ikr, first time I did weed I heard this song and felt the riff in my fucking blood, sounded slow and really psychedelic, my ears were in another dimension. it was a really magical moment.
The face before me flies Laughs at me inside Masks are made to hide the glow Shining eyes Distance 'tween us grows Feeding lies It's hard to start things over You can feel the fire around us All the time Yeah Something I should say It takes you every day What you give is not alive Today Your soul served on a plate Throw it away It's hard to start things over You can feel the fire around us All the time Yeah It's hard to start things over Oh yeah You can feel the fire around us All the time Yeah It's hard to start things over Oh yeah You can feel the fire around us All the time Yeah All the time What the hell have I? Little pride
Define "survived." Patriots "survived" without Tom Brady. The Jacksons "survived" without Michael. A cockroach "survives" without its head. Cantrell's great...but c'mon. Layne was the Main Chain.
I don't think there's anyone else who hated themselves so much during their lifetime that withered away, who was later missed and loved so much by so many, he had no idea... as brilliant as he was.... no idea man... R.I.P. Layne
I think that is why a lot of brilliant people like Layne turn to drugs. Unfortunately, life was just too boring for him unless he was shooting up. And "Dirt" was a masterpiece, but an eerie foreshadowing of his fate.
4thandinches.... I agree with the first comment. but don't forget that the life has been brutal with him...mother with drugs problems...homeless after...he had pretty hard life personally. and plus from an addict point of view that I was...the addiction drive you to say never again...but you more say that.. you more are into it. I am not here to write down bullshit.. but this guys helped me so much to get rid of my addiction.... and plus yes...you start to hate yourself...at that point I took the right way....Lane the wrong guys....and it is sad tbh. we lost an amazing voice and cool funkin guy
socialdef3 I think it has to do with over exposure... and they find a way through downers to come down from all the lights, people, fame, constant loud music, and beyond. It's just too much, and most get away, die alone with drugs in their system that deal with the chronic anxiety of it all.
Because money is infinitely appreciated, not all great artists generate money with their great art, the art needs to fill a great social culture function and be positive or at least redeeming. Therefore they would actively avoid the spotlight. Alice was really bemoaning but redeeming in the pride of bad fate.
From someone who saw them many times in the early 90s, they were just about to right after Jar of Flies came out and they were set to hit the road sandwiched between Metallica and Suicidal Tendencies for the Shit Hits the Shed tour in 1994 when they had to bow out because of Layne Staley's drug addiction. After that shows became more and more scarce for them.
People did give them attention, imo. I think whatever higher being knew if they were bigger than maybe Layne would have deteriorated faster. He didn't like the media that much. That's what Grind is about.
They had a few multi platinum albums in america so they did just fine. If you were talking about say the Melvin's or Skin Yard who were doing this stuff when AIC were a glam band then fair enough
Kinney is a beast of a drummer and at the same time I have never loved the drum fills, grooves, ect than I do his...even on the unplugged he just nails it!
I know I'm late as shit, but the beauty of "power chords" is that they only consist of the root note and a perfect 5th above that root note; without playing the third note of the triad (which determines whether it carries a minor or major tonality) you can get away with some pretty nifty mode mixture, which is something AIC did a lot.
+Nolan “Granolan” Richardson All Alt Rock, Hard Rock and Metal bands do it....you can use 4ths too which I use in certain songs...I love mixing modes ex. Dorian Verses, Aeolian or Harmonic Minor Chorus and Phrygian Bridge orrrr modulate Dorian Verses, Mixolydian Chorus....the possibilities are endless.
Alice in Chains could hit you with either megaton atomic bombs or delicate flowers and everything in between. Staley and Cantrell's harmony was unique and truly beautiful.
Thanks so much AIC for voicing our anger, anguish,suffering, desperation, depression,loneliness, numbness, emptiness, pain, eagerness,sickness and too many other feelings to mention .Even though I've never taken drugs the problems I've been experiencing certainly are a living hell...singing your songs at least allow me to feel some comfort and relief... can always relate to you...peace to you my friends...
This music is meant to trap you in those fears that you are dealing with!!!I also grew up on these bands and can sing along with most songs but then the LORD showed me what’s behind the veil that they use to distort our reality and it’s very DEMONIC my friend!!!I am still blown away about what I have seen and it’s with every rock band and most 80’s music like Phil Collins per say!!!If you slow down the speed you can see them distort or should I say shape shift right in front of you,there hands mostly look like monster hands and there eyes are always black or blacked out and for what reason????Everything they sing about is about Satan or destruction,casting spells,black magic is being performed right in your very face and you can’t tell they are doing it because it’s done so clever and nobody ever wonders why they pan the scenes so quickly!!!’Theu always have to keep moving or there artificial JIN will have distortions so that’s why people on television are always moving there hands heads eyes etc....It’s pretty freaky when you start to recognize what I’m telling you but look for yourself!!!!NIRVANA IS DEFINITELY CREEPY AS HELL!!!!Ask GOD for wisdom and eyes to see and he will lift the veil for you and you will forever be a changed MAN!!!!KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT BROTHER AND TURN AWAY FROM THESE DESTRUCTIVE FORCES BECAUSE THEY WILL KEEP YOU DOWN!!!Why do you think they all overdose and die???because you will relive old memories and they will keep you down in a low vibration!!!GOOD LUCK!!!
@@sonnyspawn4435 Wow. You're completely nuts. Do you come onto these videos just to spread your "wisdom"? Is that really the best idea you can come up with? Were you just sitting around one day and you thought "I know, I'm gonna change the world one youtube comment at a time!". "Meant to trap you in the fears you're dealing with,"? That statement describes Christianity much better than the music you're chastising.
@@sonnyspawn4435 Only the weak minded bafoons think this music is meant to trap you in these fears. Bands like AiC and many others saved my life in my darkest times, in which I saw ZERO signs of your God. I was at my lowest point virtually overdosed on meth, and no signs of God anywhere to help me recuperate myself. Instead all that was there for me was the people I love and my music. So please take your opinions elsewhere or keep them to a point that they don't bash on what other people consider lifesaving. Just because you were too weak minded to believe songs that speak on the darker of thing are meant to entrap you in such things, doesn't mean other people share you ignorant opinion.
All I'm Gunna say is Amen Brothers, and I'm totally with both sides of these comments but AIC makes me feel better during my struggle ATM, because I'm aware of all the dark sides of music and the satanic elite global shit. Anyway RIP Layne m mike, Cantrell legend, Shaun a unique understated underated drummer IMHO. AN "YEAAAAAH, MY COMMENTS OVER NOW" HA HA
I always got a special feeling from AIC's songs, and when i listen all these years later they still take me back where i can recall those feelings and moments -- just me in the car singing my lungs out to the band on the radio, or at home on the stereo -- saturating my psyche and soul in Layne's unique vocals and Jerry's perfect guitar, and the smooth unison of the band. What a pair they were. Miss Layne so much.
The best Seattle band IMO. Love Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden but Alice in Chains always the best to me. The Right turn collaboration was awesome as well.
I swear every AIC song is like a single for me.. Jesus this band does not have bad songs. Fav band ever!! 3:40 just gave me chills seeing Layne almost like a skeleton and his facial expression but still love the sweet man.. He speaks on a spitirual level for me.. I know I wrote too much hell I dont even know about spiritual level and that stuff
VTP01 gotcha I of course thought you meant layne. I love jof and self titled (which goes back to metal somewhat) so still don’t agree but can understand what you’re saying.
"The face before me flies Laughs at me inside Masks are made to hide the glow Shining eyes Distance 'tween us grows Feeding lies It's hard to start things over You can feel the fire around us All the time Yeah Something I should say It takes you every day What you give is not alive Today Your soul served on a plate Throw it away It's hard to start things over You can feel the fire around us All the time Yeah It's hard to start things over Oh yeah You can feel the fire around us All the time Yeah "
You're an idiot. They stole their sound from King's X and Layne Staley admitted it. He even told dUg Pinnick that he can't wait for the next King's X album to come out so he can steal from them again and once chased Jerry Gaskil down a street just to tell him how much he loves King's X.
@@liquidbraino Kings X sounds way more like Power Metal than this does,I think they were probably being to hard on themselves. Kings X obviously sort of vibbed off of Symphony X etc,whereas Alice in Chains is really morelike a mix of Psychedelica and Country Music at its core.
@@liquidbraino Nirvana did rip off most of there song from other bands,but just because you can name off all the times Nirvana were hacks and you know about more underground bands doesn't really say anything about AiC. They were very-much separate projects.
Nor will there ever be. 1967 birthed some of the greatest talents ever. It's truly amazing if you look up alot of the musicians from this era they born in 67. But yeah it's sad they dont make em like they once did the stars aligned perfectly. Long live Layne
A truly very gifted savant guitarist.. So unique, original, dark infectious half-step down guitar tone and style. The best guitarist out of that entire era of music & Washington State next to Jimi Hendrix. Cantrell can't write or play a bad song on a guitar.. o;)
This is hands-down the GREATEST Alice In Chains song EVER: Turns out, it’s also one of the least requested and played songs they’ve made. I’ve only heard it ONCE played on the radio since 1993: I memorized the main chorus’ lyrics, ran home and savored it.
I love Layne's facial expressions and their use of video with a different facial expression superimposed onto the original. Amazing conceptual video work.
The sound of my generation. I'm a drummer and was playing with my band for a living in the early 90's. I was surrounded by music and this was the theme music!!! Good times! I'd do it all over
I always liked Layne Stanley's singing but I bet even Layne would agree that his friend and former tourmate, Phillip H. Anselmo is a far better singer with a much better range. However, taste is subjective.
Jim Garrison Its all about how you feel at the moment as well. Jack Black said Led Zeppelin was the best rock and roll band of all time. And then he elaborated. "Better than the Beatles. Better than the Rolling Stones." Who's the best is definitely a personal thought or opinion. Sometimes I say Anselmo is the best. Other times Rob Halford. Other times Layne and still other times Chris Cornell. But Layne can belt out a tune. And its in his own style. Hard to compare to others in a way. But I think Halford has/had the best voice in all of rock and roll.
there is something so special in this band, a feeling that hits me everytime i listen to Alice in chains, like its mezmerizing me to a another world, and makes me addicted to AIC more than anything else, everytime i listen to them Layne feels so Alive ... its insane, this is probably one of the best gifts in my life knowing this band
This is one on my favorite songs by AIC. I can remember back hearing this song on the radio, but they would not play it to often. Solution: I went to the mall in reno, where I was living at the time, bought the cassette, took it home and played it. I must have listened to this song for about 4 hours straight!!! I never got tired of it. RIP Layne.
Same, John. I put this song on repeat the whole night. Felt a cold chill down my spine when that powerful, yet mesmerizing chorus hit. Keep groovin', brudda.
More than 20 years have passed and I am still stuck with the feelings and emotions that I feel when listening to this song, damn I am a damn nostalgic sentimentalist who does not let go of the past for these and many Alice songs. I perfectly remember seeing the video on MTV for the first time and being amazed at such a beautiful and heavy song and my mother watering the garden, life has many turns
U are not to blame for considering urself to be so nostalgic. But, realistically, what else can u do but b still dumbfounded and amazed with the unique, amazing talent that came out in that era. The times we live in now will never create such talent. People are just so different nowadays, u just wonder if there will ever be a cool sounding vocalist and guitarist ever again.
Alice In Chains is the greatest band in the history of rock and roll. Layne Staley, Jerry Cantrell, Mike Starr, and Sean Kinney. Layne might be the greatest singer to ever step on planet earth but it’s truly the band in general all giving in on that iconic AIC sound. They are the kind of band you don’t have to know of or have ever heard of before in your life for one of their songs to come on and go “this is Alice In Chains”. You’ll just know when it’s them. These guys are incredibly. Best band hands down the board isn’t even close to these guys.
Why can't people just enjoy both bands instead of debating which is the best grunge band? Both bands have many amazing albums. Nirvana was the head of the movement and probably the one who introduced the genre to us all. AiC was the most soulful, relatable and artistic band. Nirvana and Alice In Chains were fans of each others' music, and Kurt Cobain had phrased his admiration for Layne Staley, many times. Why can't the fans do the same thing? Long live grunge.
@@h96573 grunge was a label that subpop basically manufactured to market all the Seattle bands. Most of these bands don’t sound anything like each other anyways. And for the record, the first band from Seattle to “make it big” was Soundgarden in 1989 with louder than love. That was the first album that got signed to a major label. There’s a great documentary called Hype that goes deep into the Seattle scene. There were two waves of bands, the first being in the late 80s with bands like Soundgarden, Green River, Mudhoney, Melvins, Tad, and Skin Yard. The second wave in the early 90s was the mainstream recognition with bands like Nirvana, AIC, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam.
There are so many AIC songs that should've been made into music vids, but never were: Rain When I Die, Godsmack, Sickman, Dirt, Confusion, Got Me Wrong...and so many others!!
Real Human Bean for real hahaha...guess we are everywhere too to realize that lol. Maybe just don't comment as much lol. But I can never get enough AIC/Mad Season. Laynes music played a big role in helping me battle my own demons of addiction and I wish I could thank him for that.
My 19 year old came out a couple weeks ago to show me that he learned Angry Chair on guitar. It warmed my heart because I’ve played guitar since I was 15. We had him in lessons for a bit when he was younger, but he just didn’t seem to have the interest. Something made him pick it up again, and it was AIC! I immediately taught him to play this song. I think he has learned like 5 AIC songs already. Point being, AIC inspires people. My favorite band!
I found this song a few time ago, actually i didn't know Alice in chains that much before, since i am not from that generation. (20 yrs old) But since my first listen i got amazed by their harmonies, vocals, solos, etc. I am the kind of person who listens to anything if i see it's good. But some people stop listening to some songs after some years go away. It makes no sense, actually to me AIC is one of the bands you could listen to at any Epoch or decade and it would still sound good.

Don't think any band can capture or play haunting music so beautifully as Alice In Chains
Yeah they were way better than nirvana, I like nirvana too but AIC are way better musicians.
ALICE, PANTERA, WHITE ZOMBIE! ...
Nirvana, Megadeth. Guns N Roses. Stone temple pilots, Smashing pumpkings.

And that beautiful eyebrow raise! ... (be careful not to impregnate anybody with that move)

Everyone is starting to do it now. Dissociation. Layne will always be in my blood. My eldest son Zakk (Wilde) Layne McAndrew, was meant to be. Love all you A.I.C. fans
They weren't the loudest, nor the heaviest, but they were definitely the deepest Metal band.
I agree that they overall lean more metal, even a little glam, than grunge. Whatever. It’s genius.
Love it. Hate It. Love It.🎉
You can't sound like a tortured soul if your soul's not tortured. Dude could wail
The ironic thing is he actually is being tortured. Burning alive for eternity.
is everyone gonna ignore that groove that sean kinneys got going on this song? problem one of the most underrated drummers ever. the mans got chops.
I love Sean Kinney 🥁 totally awesome drummer!! ❤️🤘✌️
You're absolutely right 💯
Watching the mopop cover of this song really made me appreciate how much of an impact he has on this song
I'm a bass player and I always appreciated Sean grooves, he's really underrated
he is great, but what's even greater is he perfectly fits the band with his style
After 20 years this still sounds fresh. Still my favorite band.
.
Something I should say.
I have been listening to them all my 20 years of life...
22 yrs same here

Im 25 and AiC is my fav band 💗👌
Everyone mentions Layne, Jerry and Sean (very deservingly so), but no one mentions the man behind the low end - Mike Inez delivers!
People that didn't acknowledge the importance of the whole band didn't really "listen" to them. Classic AIC was basically a trio and Mike knew how to anchor it without being just a root thumper. Imho, right up there with Michael Anthony.
Inez is the man, nothing against Starr but they upgraded getting Inez and he had a major impact on jar of flies, much bigger impact than Starr had on any AIC project
Yeah....Jerry ended up doing the intro to would cause Mike couldn't get it right
Shit I love I love Mike inez bass playing skills hell yeah!!
@@puppetmaster8551 that's all your opinion, not rooted in fact at all but what is provable is that Starr played a role in the band hitting the big time; hitting the big time in music is as likely as winning powerball and every band member who was there helped work a miracle.
That middle eastern-esque riff is so infectious.
Joe Tomasso - That's it! Well put.
YES YES!!!!
C Hall
It's phriggin gnarly...
Ikr, first time I did weed I heard this song and felt the riff in my fucking blood, sounded slow and really psychedelic, my ears were in another dimension. it was a really magical moment.
It's like the riff is giving my soul a tour through hell....
Probably the most underrated AIC song.
Overlooked even. Hidden gem 93
True
Yup, most bands would have it front a centre. AIC you’ve got to go looking for it
i agree

Thanks bro
The fact that AIC survived the death of Layne is a testament of how important Jerry Cantrell is to music.
FACTS
I was more fond of him than Layne. Even on this clip.
Nope
Define "survived." Patriots "survived" without Tom Brady. The Jacksons "survived" without Michael. A cockroach "survives" without its head. Cantrell's great...but c'mon. Layne was the Main Chain.
Don't forget Sean Kinney
I don't think there's anyone else who hated themselves so much during their lifetime that withered away, who was later missed and loved so much by so many, he had no idea... as brilliant as he was.... no idea man... R.I.P. Layne
I think that is why a lot of brilliant people like Layne turn to drugs. Unfortunately, life was just too boring for him unless he was shooting up. And "Dirt" was a masterpiece, but an eerie foreshadowing of his fate.
4thandinches.... I agree with the first comment. but don't forget that the life has been brutal with him...mother with drugs problems...homeless after...he had pretty hard life personally. and plus from an addict point of view that I was...the addiction drive you to say never again...but you more say that.. you more are into it. I am not here to write down bullshit.. but this guys helped me so much to get rid of my addiction.... and plus yes...you start to hate yourself...at that point I took the right way....Lane the wrong guys....and it is sad tbh. we lost an amazing voice and cool funkin guy
socialdef3 I think it has to do with over exposure... and they find a way through downers to come down from all the lights, people, fame, constant loud music, and beyond. It's just too much, and most get away, die alone with drugs in their system that deal with the chronic anxiety of it all.
My father..
He didn’t hate himself, he hated those who hurt him. The world didn’t deserve such a soul.
Ladies and Gentlemen! The greatest singer of all time Laaaayneeee Staaaleeeeyyy!
Alice in Chains never disappoints. Why weren't they more appreciated back in the day? They deserved it more than anyone, in my opinion.
Because money is infinitely appreciated, not all great artists generate money with their great art, the art needs to fill a great social culture function and be positive or at least redeeming. Therefore they would actively avoid the spotlight. Alice was really bemoaning but redeeming in the pride of bad fate.
From someone who saw them many times in the early 90s, they were just about to right after Jar of Flies came out and they were set to hit the road sandwiched between Metallica and Suicidal Tendencies for the Shit Hits the Shed tour in 1994 when they had to bow out because of Layne Staley's drug addiction. After that shows became more and more scarce for them.
People did give them attention, imo. I think whatever higher being knew if they were bigger than maybe Layne would have deteriorated faster. He didn't like the media that much. That's what Grind is about.
They were by ME!!
They had a few multi platinum albums in america so they did just fine. If you were talking about say the Melvin's or Skin Yard who were doing this stuff when AIC were a glam band then fair enough
This has such an eerie, machine-like, spookiness to it. AIC was always so different. In a category all by themselves.
Can't get enough of SK's drumming here: clean, menacing, thoroughly "attitudinal." Bonzo's ghost lives!
Pretty big shoes to fill but I have to agree with you. I definitely hear Bonham's influence in Sean ' s beats.
Kat Hamilton Glad we agree, KZH.
+S.A. Hogan his beats always intensify the dark vibe alice in chains has, imo haha
***** Agreed haha!
Kinney is a beast of a drummer and at the same time I have never loved the drum fills, grooves, ect than I do his...even on the unplugged he just nails it!
58 years old and still love this band. I remember cranking the car stereo to them when my daughter was 6 months old. She's 31 now...
@Jerry Cantrell life is good!
@Jerry Cantrell yeah. But, I know you're probably just a troll. Jerry Cantrell has better things to do than hit people up on TH-cam. 🙄
@@cathya1038 hahhahahahahaha booooom, tssssss. He got smoked right away :) Brilliant ;)
Me too
The mesh of minor and major keys is genius
no doubt. AIC could write a strong chorus
Indeed :)
Cantrell is no slouch.
I know I'm late as shit, but the beauty of "power chords" is that they only consist of the root note and a perfect 5th above that root note; without playing the third note of the triad (which determines whether it carries a minor or major tonality) you can get away with some pretty nifty mode mixture, which is something AIC did a lot.
+Nolan “Granolan” Richardson All Alt Rock, Hard Rock and Metal bands do it....you can use 4ths too which I use in certain songs...I love mixing modes ex. Dorian Verses, Aeolian or Harmonic Minor Chorus and Phrygian Bridge orrrr modulate Dorian Verses, Mixolydian Chorus....the possibilities are endless.
Cantrell and Layne harmonize so well together even now I can still hear him singing with him even though he is gone so haunting to me.
Alice in Chains could hit you with either megaton atomic bombs or delicate flowers and everything in between. Staley and Cantrell's harmony was unique and truly beautiful.
Best harmony ever in my book...R.I.P. LAYNE STALEY...much love much respect to all of you...what's up Jerry Cantrell...
Your really hit the nail squarely on the head with your comment 👏🏻
Thanks so much AIC for voicing our anger, anguish,suffering, desperation, depression,loneliness, numbness, emptiness, pain, eagerness,sickness and too many other feelings to mention .Even though I've never taken drugs the problems I've been experiencing certainly are a living hell...singing your songs at least allow me to feel some comfort and relief... can always relate to you...peace to you my friends...
Well said my friend
This music is meant to trap you in those fears that you are dealing with!!!I also grew up on these bands and can sing along with most songs but then the LORD showed me what’s behind the veil that they use to distort our reality and it’s very DEMONIC my friend!!!I am still blown away about what I have seen and it’s with every rock band and most 80’s music like Phil Collins per say!!!If you slow down the speed you can see them distort or should I say shape shift right in front of you,there hands mostly look like monster hands and there eyes are always black or blacked out and for what reason????Everything they sing about is about Satan or destruction,casting spells,black magic is being performed right in your very face and you can’t tell they are doing it because it’s done so clever and nobody ever wonders why they pan the scenes so quickly!!!’Theu always have to keep moving or there artificial JIN will have distortions so that’s why people on television are always moving there hands heads eyes etc....It’s pretty freaky when you start to recognize what I’m telling you but look for yourself!!!!NIRVANA IS DEFINITELY CREEPY AS HELL!!!!Ask GOD for wisdom and eyes to see and he will lift the veil for you and you will forever be a changed MAN!!!!KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT BROTHER AND TURN AWAY FROM THESE DESTRUCTIVE FORCES BECAUSE THEY WILL KEEP YOU DOWN!!!Why do you think they all overdose and die???because you will relive old memories and they will keep you down in a low vibration!!!GOOD LUCK!!!
@@sonnyspawn4435 Wow. You're completely nuts. Do you come onto these videos just to spread your "wisdom"? Is that really the best idea you can come up with? Were you just sitting around one day and you thought "I know, I'm gonna change the world one youtube comment at a time!". "Meant to trap you in the fears you're dealing with,"? That statement describes Christianity much better than the music you're chastising.
@@sonnyspawn4435 Only the weak minded bafoons think this music is meant to trap you in these fears. Bands like AiC and many others saved my life in my darkest times, in which I saw ZERO signs of your God. I was at my lowest point virtually overdosed on meth, and no signs of God anywhere to help me recuperate myself. Instead all that was there for me was the people I love and my music. So please take your opinions elsewhere or keep them to a point that they don't bash on what other people consider lifesaving. Just because you were too weak minded to believe songs that speak on the darker of thing are meant to entrap you in such things, doesn't mean other people share you ignorant opinion.
All I'm Gunna say is Amen Brothers, and I'm totally with both sides of these comments but AIC makes me feel better during my struggle ATM, because I'm aware of all the dark sides of music and the satanic elite global shit. Anyway RIP Layne m mike, Cantrell legend, Shaun a unique understated underated drummer IMHO. AN "YEAAAAAH, MY COMMENTS OVER NOW" HA HA
Layne's "Oh yeah.." at 3:16 is the greatest "Oh yeah" in the history of "Oh yeahs."
No one says “yeah” better than Layne
@@genebingle1754 it’s cool how the guitar follows the vocal too
Happy Birthday Layne Staley 8/22/2023 FOREVER REMEMBERED AND NEVER EVER FORGOTTEN 😇💝🌹
I always got a special feeling from AIC's songs, and when i listen all these years later they still take me back where i can recall those feelings and moments -- just me in the car singing my lungs out to the band on the radio, or at home on the stereo -- saturating my psyche and soul in Layne's unique vocals and Jerry's perfect guitar, and the smooth unison of the band. What a pair they were. Miss Layne so much.
Amen!!
Exactly brother ! RIP to not just Layne but to all great musicians whi gave their heart into this .
+m3na9 Amen!
+m3na9 Thats why music is so special, good music especially!

The most dark and depressing band to come out of Seattle. Legends.
I saw them in some seedy club in San Diego… Biohazard ☣️ opened for them, lol 😝
The best Seattle band IMO. Love Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden but Alice in Chains always the best to me. The Right turn collaboration was awesome as well.
I hear ya, but the Toe Jam you can keep
@@korrangrosche Ten was an excellent album. After that they irritated me as well
Idk man Soundgarden goes hard too
@@korrangrosche😂😂
I swear every AIC song is like a single for me.. Jesus this band does not have bad songs. Fav band ever!! 3:40 just gave me chills seeing Layne almost like a skeleton and his facial expression but still love the sweet man.. He speaks on a spitirual level for me.. I know I wrote too much hell I dont even know about spiritual level and that stuff
Erick I always said I never met an Alice song I didn't love....❤️🤘
They crank out incredible songs !!
It's okay you only speak the truth when talking about Alice in chains it is spirituality
I agree Erick
Same. There isn't a single AiC song I don't like.
Very underrated AIC 's song. To me, very beautiful song with a great vibe.

It's sept 2024 , this still gives me chills, no music today comes close, none
music in 1993 (as well as the 90s) decimates modern crap.
word
Easily one of Alice’s most powerful choruses.
I'm 53 and just love this band, this band and Soundgarden had such insane writing abilities it just floors me
57 and just saw them in Raleigh N.C.
They made such unique songs, there's nobody like them
You're an idiot. They stole their sound from King's X and Layne Staley admitted it. He even told dUg Pinnick that he can't wait for the next King's X album to come out so he can steal from them again and once chased Jerry Gaskil down a street just to tell him how much he loves King's X.
@@liquidbraino Kings X sounds way more like Power Metal than this does,I think they were probably being to hard on themselves. Kings X obviously sort of vibbed off of Symphony X etc,whereas Alice in Chains is really morelike a mix of Psychedelica and Country Music at its core.
@@liquidbraino Nirvana did rip off most of there song from other bands,but just because you can name off all the times Nirvana were hacks and you know about more underground bands doesn't really say anything about AiC. They were very-much separate projects.
The Truth from San Andreas
Johnny lol true and Alice In Chains them bones was on San Andreas.
2020 still not another layne staley. Jerry is literally a living legend
2021 right here brother.
Nor will there ever be. 1967 birthed some of the greatest talents ever. It's truly amazing if you look up alot of the musicians from this era they born in 67. But yeah it's sad they dont make em like they once did the stars aligned perfectly. Long live Layne
3021 and there will never be another Layne Staley .... You can try to imitate .. but there will only ever be one of the real deal
@@jeffbogue3718 legends never die
Layne Staley will never be replaced, in eternity
He was a legend, and there will be no one like him ever again (in our lifetime)
One of the most addicting riffs in music history!
i agree
Last Action Hero might not have gotten a lot of things right, but including this song on its soundtrack was definitely one of them.
+DJCandyManMike as far as satirical films go, I think it's totally overlooked!
bought that soundtrack specifically for this track back in 93 after i heard it on the radio
Todd Stewart I got it for Christmas in 1993, and it's always been one of my favorite soundtracks.
ya. I also got it for angry again. the whole disc was good, but this was my favorite track
Best part and best soundtrack of the movie
How nasty, unique is Jerry Cantrell's guitar style
He definitely puts some stank on it.
A truly very gifted savant guitarist..
So unique, original, dark infectious half-step down guitar tone and style. The best guitarist out of that entire era of music & Washington State next to Jimi Hendrix. Cantrell can't write or play a bad song on a guitar.. o;)
The guitar on the chorus has to be Cantrells heaviest tone ever.
It is so heavy, and cantrell has made so MANY different tones too
pull through.,,,hit the note and pull let vibrate ,,,do the same for vicarious for Tool
AIC, will always be one my all time top bands. I miss this era so damn much, played so much of Alice In Chains. Endless excellence.
Layne was the best lead guy period... His vocals could break glass
so true i couldn't have said it better
Best singer for sure. Weiland was the better front man of the generation
Best vocalist ever
hands down
Hands Down II
Him or Cornell thats what I always say.
he had a very distinct voice from all the others but lets not underestimate Eddie's, Chris' and Kurt's voice.
Rip Layne
Maybe you can add Scott Weiland?
Words cannot describe how much I love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AIC is truly one of the most credible bands in modern rock
3:11 That "Yeah" always give me chills.
Always
Same
This guitar riff is fucking sick. Just wow....
Arabic rifffs
This is hands-down the GREATEST Alice In Chains song EVER:
Turns out, it’s also one of the least requested and played songs they’ve made.
I’ve only heard it ONCE played on the radio since 1993: I memorized the main chorus’ lyrics, ran home and savored it.
I love Layne's facial expressions and their use of video with a different facial expression superimposed onto the original. Amazing conceptual video work.
It’s so easy to just get lost in the sounds of Alice In Chains
Jerry Cantrell is incredible. Layne, he is unmatched. We all miss you buddy.
I really hope one day they will be inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame
Next year will be 20th year anniversary of Laynes death. Would be fitting wouldn’t it?! Kurt got his in 2014. Give Layne his in 2022.
Layne and Jerry are THE BEST 1-2 vocals punch in rock history
I can't believe I'm hearing this song for the first time right now.
Me too!
Damn that sucks
Me, too !
Congrats!
Sit back and enjoy😊
I love how Layne's eyes roll back I know EXACTLY how he feels.
STILL HERE IN 2024 TO INFINITY! ITLL NEVER STOP. RIP LANE ROCK ON AIC🤙
The sound of my generation. I'm a drummer and was playing with my band for a living in the early 90's. I was surrounded by music and this was the theme music!!! Good times! I'd do it all over
Layne Staley, the greatest singer there ever was.
in bleed the freak is the one and only...
so true!!!!!!!!!
david filippi
"love hate love" "sunshine" "confusion"
I always liked Layne Stanley's singing but I bet even Layne would agree that his friend and former tourmate, Phillip H. Anselmo is a far better singer with a much better range. However, taste is subjective.
Jim Garrison
Its all about how you feel at the moment as well. Jack Black said Led Zeppelin was the best rock and roll band of all time. And then he elaborated. "Better than the Beatles. Better than the Rolling Stones." Who's the best is definitely a personal thought or opinion. Sometimes I say Anselmo is the best. Other times Rob Halford. Other times Layne and still other times Chris Cornell. But Layne can belt out a tune. And its in his own style. Hard to compare to others in a way. But I think Halford has/had the best voice in all of rock and roll.
Jerry don't get enough credit as a rock n roll legend his riffs song writing and his voice is amazing
i agree
there is something so special in this band, a feeling that hits me everytime i listen to Alice in chains, like its mezmerizing me to a another world, and makes me addicted to AIC more than anything else, everytime i listen to them Layne feels so Alive ... its insane, this is probably one of the best gifts in my life knowing this band
Layne the amasing
voice and Seann the
drums .
Layne & Jerry were both incredibly talented in their own ways, but together they had a chemistry like NOBODY else. Not even Page and Plant!
Yes!
Always thought Alice in chains was the Led Zeppelin of the 90s ,only difference they didn’t rip off songs
genius pfp + username my friend 93/93
Hey hey now, put the pipe down for a minuet haha! I love AIC and agree with most of what you said but that is a hard compare.
Let us not get carried away here. AIC was amazing, but... No, don't. Find a different comparison.
This is one on my favorite songs by AIC. I can remember back hearing this song on the radio, but they would not play it to often. Solution: I went to the mall in reno, where I was living at the time, bought the cassette, took it home and played it. I must have listened to this song for about 4 hours straight!!! I never got tired of it. RIP Layne.
Same, John. I put this song on repeat the whole night. Felt a cold chill down my spine when that powerful, yet mesmerizing chorus hit. Keep groovin', brudda.
I always dug this one as well, once of those that seems forgotten but that main riff and chorus is memorable as hell
John Huddleston u shud check out the live version in the Netherlands...I've never seen Layne perform like that...he was out there that night
The transition from the sort of twangy slow sound, to the straight grunge metal, gives me goosebumps and enough motivation to take on a rhino.
that riff tho!
yea the sound of the marshall i think
Jerry is super dope..
Michy 's Bogner modified marshall
Gameclipse that riff is stupid awesome
jerry knows it, look at that face 11 seconds in!
My favorite so called GRUNGE band. I don't care what they are classified as they just rock!
More than 20 years have passed and I am still stuck with the feelings and emotions that I feel when listening to this song, damn I am a damn nostalgic sentimentalist who does not let go of the past for these and many Alice songs. I perfectly remember seeing the video on MTV for the first time and being amazed at such a beautiful and heavy song and my mother watering the garden, life has many turns
U are not to blame for considering urself to be so nostalgic. But, realistically, what else can u do but b still dumbfounded and amazed with the unique, amazing talent that came out in that era. The times we live in now will never create such talent. People are just so different nowadays, u just wonder if there will ever be a cool sounding vocalist and guitarist ever again.
The way Jerry sings that outro is so buttery smooth, "What the hell have I... let it diee" goosbumps everytime.
Another great example of why Jerry Cantrell was crowned Riff Lord.
Alice In Chains is the greatest band in the history of rock and roll. Layne Staley, Jerry Cantrell, Mike Starr, and Sean Kinney. Layne might be the greatest singer to ever step on planet earth but it’s truly the band in general all giving in on that iconic AIC sound. They are the kind of band you don’t have to know of or have ever heard of before in your life for one of their songs to come on and go “this is Alice In Chains”. You’ll just know when it’s them. These guys are incredibly. Best band hands down the board isn’t even close to these guys.
U forgot Mike Inez he played bass in all AIC songs after Dirt was released
Soundgarden an Alice in chains were un fucking real
AIC always be number 1
@@duncan3998 Alice In Chains was way better than nirvana lol
@@duncan3998 who cares about the ranking and stats lol Alice In Chains was super underrated,
Why can't people just enjoy both bands instead of debating which is the best grunge band? Both bands have many amazing albums. Nirvana was the head of the movement and probably the one who introduced the genre to us all. AiC was the most soulful, relatable and artistic band. Nirvana and Alice In Chains were fans of each others' music, and Kurt Cobain had phrased his admiration for Layne Staley, many times. Why can't the fans do the same thing? Long live grunge.
@@h96573 grunge was a label that subpop basically manufactured to market all the Seattle bands. Most of these bands don’t sound anything like each other anyways. And for the record, the first band from Seattle to “make it big” was Soundgarden in 1989 with louder than love. That was the first album that got signed to a major label. There’s a great documentary called Hype that goes deep into the Seattle scene. There were two waves of bands, the first being in the late 80s with bands like Soundgarden, Green River, Mudhoney, Melvins, Tad, and Skin Yard. The second wave in the early 90s was the mainstream recognition with bands like Nirvana, AIC, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam.
New to Alice, every song breaks my heart a little, such a loss
Most underrated AIC song out there.
This is my all time favorite music video I could watch it over and over (and have done so many times)
There are so many AIC songs that should've been made into music vids, but never were: Rain When I Die, Godsmack, Sickman, Dirt, Confusion, Got Me Wrong...and so many others!!
You're everywhere! haha
Why? lol
Played this over and over again on my iPod while riding into work. One of my favorite songs.
Real Human Bean for real hahaha...guess we are everywhere too to realize that lol. Maybe just don't comment as much lol. But I can never get enough AIC/Mad Season. Laynes music played a big role in helping me battle my own demons of addiction and I wish I could thank him for that.
My 19 year old came out a couple weeks ago to show me that he learned Angry Chair on guitar. It warmed my heart because I’ve played guitar since I was 15. We had him in lessons for a bit when he was younger, but he just didn’t seem to have the interest. Something made him pick it up again, and it was AIC! I immediately taught him to play this song. I think he has learned like 5 AIC songs already. Point being, AIC inspires people. My favorite band!
I did not know this song!! After all the years, this is new to me. What a blessing!
I found this song a few time ago, actually i didn't know Alice in chains that much before, since i am not from that generation. (20 yrs old) But since my first listen i got amazed by their harmonies, vocals, solos, etc. I am the kind of person who listens to anything if i see it's good. But some people stop listening to some songs after some years go away. It makes no sense, actually to me AIC is one of the bands you could listen to at any Epoch or decade and it would still sound good.
The rhytm , the lyrics what the hell, the song Is amazing
Best rock/Metal band in the 90's , best rock/metal singer of all times.
The riff and drum vibe..
Hands DOWN !!!!! Greatest grunge rock band of all time !!!!
A voice of a generation. 🤘🏼
And BEYOND,FOREVER,and EVER and a DAY nuff’ said!!!
Last Action Hero is such an underrated movie. The soundtrack alone was friggin' awesome. And it's got 2 AIC tracks!
Didn't know that but good to know
