Dude, hearing those chorus vocals ISOLATED is enough to make a man cry. God damn that belt is fucking amazing
So good.
Loving AIC and all things Layne, I’m shocked it took me this long to start going through Rick’s WMTSG series. Flawless. Perfection…and any other like adjective.
We need a Rick Beato to just talk about AiC for 40 hours a week.
Yes!! :D
i would subscribe that
true!
More like 40 hrs a day
YES 👍
Rick is so technical, even the artist himself be like, "Oh. I didn't realise I actually did that."
If Kurt Cobain was alive that'd he something he'd say lol
But he knows it, and now we know it 😏
Most of these guys didn’t realize what they were doing, they just knew it sounded good lol
Layne's solo vocals give me chills. Doesn't matter how many times I've heard it. Such raw power and emotion. Incredible
Caprise Adams they are sorely missing that these days.
So incredibly powerful and soulful; I would say its almost supernatural, just in the amount of soul in it.
I second that. I think all the time of how great it would have been to see him live!
Every 👏 time 👏
The end of love,hate, love when he wails away !
Taking a Sunday drive with the family...
Before Rick Beato: "This is a nice song, kids, turn it up!"
After Rick Beato: "DOUBLE TRACKED VOCALS!! Did you guys catch that?? DOUBLE TRACKED VOCALS!!"
And Beato face air drumming. Definitely need to do the Beato-face air drumming.
😂
Ha! Same!
The thing I love about the double tracks here are they aren't completely perfect or pristine, they left in certain fluctuations in pitch etc.
@@eclecticmuso Layne's double-track takes were definitely not as consistent as Kurt Cobain's. The fluctuations give it a much more eerie, sinister feeling.
I want to see/hear "Would?", quite possibly the best AiC song ever.
And Head Creeps. I would LOVE to hear Frogs done as well.
Yeah i think so
Would...baddest song ever written IMO.
@@Dragracer612 why?
@@janeelsner Hard to say. I’m 48...this song was written at the right time in my life. It was the baddest stuff I had ever heard. Here I am almost 30 years later, and it still speaks to my soul. I guess that’s why.
Lanne and Jerry's voices are hauntingly beautiful. I am a guitar player and I think Jerry is one of the most underrated guitarist in the world. He does not wank, his stuff is very melodic.
I agree!
He is melodic but he is very poor technically
I used to be very guitar wankery oriented. I loved shredding in the mid 80s, but the more guitar I played and learned, the more I began to prefer minimalism in my own style. I started to get more into blues, which pushed me into phrasing and feel. Jerry and AiC can say a lot with a few notes.
I still love thrash and hair metal, but I also love playing AiC.
I love Jerry's solo on man in the box, he's my fav guitarist
He’s definitely one of my hero’s🤘🏽
Listening to Layne's tracks isolated like that gave me chills. It's like listening to a ghost... or an angel. Miss him!
Amen to that. Miss him too.
chills for sure man!
I liked his voice so much I named a kid after him, lol.
It really is.. it's like hearing a snapshot in time.. it's all timeless.
This song goes to show just how incredibly important it is to have a great drummer. An awesome drummer can completely change a band.
Agree! Sean is so underrated it’s criminal. He’s a badass drummer.
Sean Kinney is a fucking monster. He has strong beats mixed with killer cymbal nuances. His drumming is unique along with his movements. The coolest drummer from that era. If he'd lived in LA the LA glam scene would've turned into the LA grunge scene. His drumming really defines the grunge movement.
Exactly, like when nirvana went from chad to dave.
Yes sean and bonham are prime examples of this!! Pearl jam firing dave a. Is also prime example!!!
Tool is probably the best example of this LOL
What Makes This Song Great? ... Easy .. It's Alice in Chains ....
Maybe it's maybelline.
That saved me writing a comment... oops!
Triconderous - exactly.
No more analysis. Period.
R You Don’t Know It the best band out of anywhere ever😁
U can see at @ 14:00 that he shakes his head in a disbelief way. And he becomes a little sad as we all do when we realise how good Layne and Jerry were together and that it was gone too early
Yea he was having some flashbacks, it’s a shame.
Shame. My brother died from an overdose a little less than 2 years ago. RIP Layne
did you notice how at 14:20 when talking about how "they own that" seems that his eyes watered and he took a second to keep talking about it?.... love this guys videos and his passion for music
@@lennyrepongo78 yes bro i seen it. I felt it
That's the tragedy of the early 90s Seattle grunge scene. So much talent packed into such a small group of people in such a short time, combined with huge amounts of heroin on the streets.
Is it me or is Sean Kinney underrated? I’ve always found him amazing. He creates tension, he sound like he comes from a jazz background… he’s also extremely soulful. Whaaaaa?!?!!!!! ❣️❣️❣️❣️
well yes, if anything he is underrated. definately a solid drummer
One my influences as a Drummer.
Got that Gavin Harrison snare sound
Fantastic drummer, smooth and powerful at the same time. He came up with some of the most creative grooves from the grunge era.
he’s great probably one of my favorite drummers along with bonham and jimmy chamberlain. kinney plays to the songs so well and does such different stuff than others would on the same song. i remember hearing rooster for the first time when he starts playing the marching snare part and thought it was just so cool.
Alice in Chains has around 50 songs that would be worthy of an entire What Makes This Song Great video!
P Y R O T E C H N I C K so true. The entire Dirt record and the entire Tripod record. So damn good!
I hope he made an episode with any song from Jar Of Flies, there some great harmonies and production vallues (and it was recorded in two weeks!)
@@nicolasriveros943 I Stay Away. That is all.
@@SimpleManGuitars1973 Fuck yeah dude, one of my fav AIC songs. I'd also love if he did Am I inside (if only to hear the awesome Ann Wilson's backup vocals isolated).
I'm pretty sure hes only doing the songs that have the separate tracks released with the guitar hero games. The only one left is Rooster I'm pretty sure.
17:03 him staying on the same note is what makes the song for me. So powerful. It makes you feel this chorus more intensely than the previous one.
@superpamber Layne had a gift, theres no doubt.
I love that moment in the song. It's powerful as you said and almost haunting or something.
Agreed. The Live album version is so intense when he stays up there for the last chorus! I’m glad Rick mentioned that part.
Insane how he can hit those notes. He probably blew out his voice.
The album was a flop initially but when mtv picked up the video for man in the box for buzz bin it took off
Best band there will ever be. Criminally underrated.
Rick needs to do Rain When I Die.
Somehow that song always goes unnoticed in any Alice in Chains video...
My favorite aic song
I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THAT!!
Def my favorite aic song🤘🏽
One of Layne’s most impressive vocal performances. Especially post-Facelift
It has a great groove in drums
For me Alice In Chains was the best in grunge everyone swoons over nirvana but man Alice In Chains just had it all , just amazing
I loathe nirvana to be honest. How AIC seems to get buried by them in the mainstream conversations blows my mind
For me, Nirvana is near the bottom of grunge. Not a bad band, but with groups like AIC, STP, Soundgarden etc , that's such stiff competition for being the best.
@@craigdaurizio686 You're right, there's serious competition there, but seriously don't ignore Bleach. Forget Nevermind, forget In Utero, look at Bleach.
soundgarden?
I agree, I never could understand the appeal of Nirvana. Don’t get me wrong I love Dave Grohl.
RICK! How bout that scream...."SHUT!" at the end of the chorus w Jerry?!! "now you’ve sewn them SHUT?!!" Layne's a PHENOMENAL SCREAMER! Man I miss that scream so much💔
Great songs have those Easter eggs for the earnest listener. Songcrafting is more than sheet music and good equipment, and even more than technical ability. You gotta have that SOUL...
Donamtrx this is one of my favourite spots in this song
The fact I will never get to hear what Layne could be doing now is one of my deepest musical sadness's...
God I feel this.
he probably would've gotten sober and made foo fighter type music, let's be honest.
@@Djamieson713 foo fighters are awesome, that wouldn't be the worst outcome. Layne was raw and authentic. Also the studio system he hated died and he has a huge fan base still, I think he would have done great things but we'll never know!
Always loved about AIC songs the way that guitar solos blend into them organically: they don't stand out like some unnecessary fireworks but are simply parts of the songs, these solos evolve naturally.
That's actually perfect.
man in a box solo is one of the coolest parts ever. it's like a little song
Yeah, Pearl Jam does it too, it’s really nice
My god I love these videos!!!
Hi Robert.
Robert Baker in the house! I enjoyed your video outlining how this solo was played. Rock on.
You aint alone.
Robert Baker Thanks Robert!
Haha, this is hilarious. I came to this video after finishing one of your videos. The one about old dude shred.
Rick Beato is an amazing human being. I've never heard music really analyzed like this. I'm hear things in songs I've listened to a thousand times I've never heard before. Is there anything this man doesn't know about music?
Uh ... nope.
@@texasnewt I really aspire to be able to hear music the way he does some day. It's incredible, I love music so much and he can make me like songs I've always loved EVEN MORE
Front to back - Dirt is a masterpiece. Back when an album - as a whole - actually meant something. And I know this is not on dirt. I love these videos.
shaneruegg yes! Dirt will probably stay in my top 3 rock albums of all time.
Same with Facelift in my opinion
@@AirGuitar and what are the other 2.
@@martymartin2894 well I only know 1 other one: The Stone Roses - Self Titled album. I just know that those two will be in my top 3.
These videos never fail to make me cripplingly inadequate as a musician and stupid at the same time amazed by how much is going on in tracks I’ve been listening to and playing for years
I was in Seattle when Staley was found dead. Such a sad day! One of my favorite singers ever. Jerry is such a great song writer. What a great time to be in the music scene. Thanks Rick, for the break down, perfect as usual!
I never appreciated AiC until unplugged came out, it really highlighted the vocal harmonies in their music.
That harmonizing between Layne and Jerry on guitar is just SICK
My all time favorite band! Layne's voice, Jerry's guitar and harmonies with Layne, Mike's heavy bass, and Sean's great and highly underrated drumming... this band has gotten me thru some tough times.
im never listening to this song the same way i did before...love it. These are my favorite videos of this channel
Hahaha, i know what you mean, i feel that way about all the songs he covers on this series
Layne’s vocal distortion during the chorus, epic. You definitely don’t hear THAT often today.
Oh man, Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell voice tracks paint such a visual picture of good and evil. Layne as the Demon and Jerry the Angel. To this date, Layne's powerful and unique vocals still leave me with goosebumps and teary eyes as this band was such a huge part of my life with fond memories from those days. Jerry Cantrell such an awesome person. Every interview I've seen he's been such a humble, straightforward and honest person. Wish he was my next door neighbor.
Love Alice in Chains they were definitely a favorite over Nirvana or Pearl Jam. Thanks for putting a spotlight one of my all-time faves and probably overlooked bands. Staley and Cantrell's harmonies are eerie and beautiful! Thank you Rick!
I just discovered you. I love music, but don’t know it, can read it, can only play by ear. I’m a visual artist. I love this video for many reasons. First off, your sheer volume of knowledge and sharing with us is astounding. I’ve learned so much. I love learning anything outside my “comfort zone.” How you play the drums and shred along with the music explaining what is being played, the keys they are in, plus being able to isolate the voices, guitars and drumming! Mind blowing!!
It was Laynes voice that makes that song great . It was like another instrument in the music. Nobody sounds like Layne. Fucking awesome
a while ago i was listening to laynes isolated vocal tracks, i never realized how many harmonies he would do. but after realizing that and listening to the songs its crazy how much it adds to the song. it just adds that mysterious evil sound to AIC. layne was up there with the beat vocalists if not the best.
Every time I hear or see reaction videos to AIC, all the comments are about how insanely professional Jerry and Layne were from composition to correct way Layne (and Jerry) does his vocals. So, what I've learned is where Nirvana (who were supposed to be the poster boys of the grunge movement) were treating their instruments like Pete Townsend on the Smothers Brothers show, Layne and Jerry may as well have been Beethoven and Mozart collaborating.
You are not wrong. Nirvana could have taken lessons from AIC in my opinion. Nirvana had 1 or 2 songs I could stomach. Other than that they were forgetful to me. AIC is a lesson in complete badassery!
Great job yet again Rick! This song is just drop dead legendary. And you are right, THIS was the ignition of grunge. Layne and Cantrell with astonishing harmonies. And Jerry's guitar is pure bliss!
I'm watching this right now before they take it down....
I don't think they will, they didn't take down the last one.
They're not blockers.
AIC Is not that bad with copyright I think
@@martindiluca1573 AIC would be nuts to do it, It is highly flattering, and possibly is introducing a whole new audience to their greatness.
@@omfug7148 You could say the same for any band that blocks his videos though, doesn't stop it from happening sadly, greed is a bitch.
Rick truly and deeply understands how badass Alice In Chains is and that's why he's my brother from another mother.
I read somewhere that AIC got there harmonies from Jerry listening to Gregorian chants. But Jerry said that Layne came up with the harmonies.
I'd like to mention how Jerry plays the solo as if its a trade-off between two guitar players. The first part is played with the talk box but doesn't open it up wide open till the end so its a really bassy kind of neck-pickup tone, playing lots of long-held bendy notes (I know we can't go by the guitar in the video but, to get a neck-pickup tone, you would have to use the talk box/wah, or roll the tone control all the way down but you would lose some of that picking tone by doing that. He probably played that guitar with the topless girl on it, which is a one-humbucker one-volume knob guitar like the one in the video). Then he lets the last note sustain and feed back, while the "other guitar player" comes in with a funky part lower in the neck with no effect on it - a completely different approach than the "talkbox guitarist". The "talkbox guitarist" goes back to playing the rhythm part and the funky "other guitar player" ends the solo. I think that's cool to give people more than a guitar solo, you kinda give them two.
It's great to see someone give AiC the credit they deserve for the massive influence they have had on rock and metal.
Another great video! Thanks!
Glad to hear you say this was back when each band member did his particular job as in not going off a grid. This is what makes this whole era of music fills you with so much emotion.
Dude, THANK YOU for doing another AIC breakdown. They deserve it.
I would love an analysis on "Junkhead" by Alice In Chains. It's a perfect song in my opinion. I just love how the song starts out so intense, explosive and dark and then the chorus takes us to a place that feels soothing and comforting, but it's the solo bit that has that sweet sadness which creates such a great contrast. Man, it's an excellent song!
Great video as always!
I've always considered Sean Kinney a criminally underrated drummer. He's a beast!! definitely one of my fav drum players!
Also I was wondering if you could bring up some of Alice in Chains' more recent stuff for some future episode of What Makes This Song Great, that would be awesome. Or maybe some of Jerry Cantrell's solo work too.
Peace, and keep up the good work!
Yeah I agree, Jar of flies really showcases his talents!
Madauder Seriously. His parts on Jar of Flies and their later stuff were killer.
Yeah, he was a great drummer! His beats on Jar Of Flies were amazing and his drumming on Tripod reminded me of Eric Kretz drumming on Purple.
Alice In Chains' music will never get old. Music might've gotten heavier, but nothing matches the heavy music with Layne's super soulful, bluesy vocals. Not to mention Jerry's sick riffs. Heaviness is nothing when there's nothing else to back it up. That's something we haven't seen that much of after the '90s.
I checked the AIC songs in the playlist and I can't believe Rick hasn't done "Would" yet. Oh man. Tell us about those opening guitar chords!
4:29 - 4:43
Ironic that a song about censorship has a censored version
Every explicit song has s censored version. Is that new to you?
@@HotStrange New, no. Funny observation, yes.
Jane Ross Yeah his joke totally went over my head at first.
I lived in Cape May, NJ, and a local, coastal station played the original, uncensored versions of songs. Alanis, Creep, we heard the real songs. Haven't found that anywhere else; all these big-city stations think we're too delicate.
That's not a song about censorship. The lyrics doesn't have a clear meaning, the author was stoned when doing it.
I never think of grunge with AIC. Their only connection to that "movement" is 90s Seattle. They are straight up hard rock.
And Soundgarden is heavy metal... 🤘
AIC and Soundgarden weren’t 100% grunge because they were more metal-based, whereas most grunge bands were based in punk. I think that’s what made AIC and Soundgarden so much better.
We Die Young by AiC is a good example of that
@@S.Waters. i agree
@@j_freed TREND? IT WAS A FAWKIN MOVEMENT! ONE GIANT BOWEL MOVEMENT 😎
These videos are great! They are perfect for a ex orchestra girl. Remembering the times I had to sit as all the group practice, winds, string etc, and then a collective. I love every break down!
Jerry is a bad mamajamma. Great guitarist and songwriter!
I've listened to this song probably 500 times and never noticed all the little nuances that you point out and talk about. Amazing!!
I had no idea about that lead guitar in the chorus wow
Me neither and that's what makes this series great!
haha same. amazing song breakdown
Totally agree Rick, for me this song and Outshined were the beginning of grunge. I had never really heard anything like them before then. Still two of my favorites.
It's amazing how these kids, at the time, came up with all this brilliance. They had no formal musical training as far as I know(?), all this just comes natural and they keep reinventing how music is done over and over again and does things in ways that is completely new. Alice in chains is the rock equivalent to what Depeche mode have been for electronic music, just being unconventional all the way and still killing it. It's sad what they've been through, at least their influence on music is unmistakable and is still ringing clearer than ever, and they still put out great music. Man in a box is great example, there's so many odd decisions just in this one song alone, as been highlighted in this video.
As a bass player I love the bass sounds in AIC music, always so creative. Thinking of the song nutshell
Please do the entire DIRT album just like this. Yes, the entire album
my goal in life is to make a good song people like so rick can explain to me why it sounds good because i don’t really know anything about music.
This blew my mind when it first dropped. I couldn't believe how tight and powerful it was. Back then it was very unique. Same with the Tool 'Undertow' album. Really tight focused power
Man, I’m so glad I found your channel. Amazing stuff. Great work
Another one of my favorite video series on one of my favorite bands of all time love it thank you Rick!
Jerry, Layne and Mike Yes but Sean is a demon on drums! So many musicial and 'odd' grooves in their catalogue! Class! AiC are masters. Rick you are a legend ✌🏻
Would love to see Wilco or Spacehog. Maybe even Deftones
definitely deftones, but i wonder if rick would consider any of their songs great 😂
Deftones has loads of interesting guitar work!
@@mogsy2112 and a *solid* rhythm section with abe and chi, but from the videos i've seen, i"ll just say i'd be _surprised_ to see rick be into chino's vocals.
“In the meantime”
Knife party is probably my fave off White Pony
you know that it's a song that rick really likes if he plays the riffs and fills five times in a row
I was holed up and coding on the 21st floor of a NYC skyscraper when this song hit radio. One sign of great music is that it links you instantly to “Where were you when...”. Love this breakdown Rick!!
What language were you using back then?
Have you considered analyzing the song Would? that would be an interesting one because of the interaction between the bass and the guitar, and the bass line is great too.
Rick, i love how you get into your vids...throwing some air cannon shot snares and ocassional air guitar when clearly you can also play these instruments as well..your passion for music is contageous...keep up the great episodes
Facelift and BadMotorFinger are the heaviest records of Grunge!
Well, Dirt is heavier than Facelift as a whole, but I ain't gonna argue that they aren't all heavy and awesome!
@@brbosen nah bro, Dirt might be darker and angrier (bigger layered guitars) but Facelift is heavier and funkier.
Core deserves a mention too.
@@thegreatcornholio80 don't get me wrong bro I love STP and Core but Core might have a super dark sound but maybe only a few songs on Core actually are heavy weight like Peice Of Pie and Dead and Bloated.
Bleed the freak and sea of sorrow make facelift really special . În the other hand sunshine is mentionable
AIC made simplicity sound complex as good as any band I've ever heard.
They also make complexity sound simple...
I think it's a mix of everything that radically enhances the song. Vocals on point, flawless guitar, impeccable drums and perfect bass. The lyrics are kinda weird but the harmonies and melodies in the chorus sound godly! ❤
Next AIC video please do Rain When I Die.
OMG that is the one I want him to do also. That song is sooooooooo interesting and badass
There are just too many bad ass AIC songs. Rick could do a whole series 😁
@@mrburns366 I agree and he should do a series of every song on Soundgarden's Superunknown. And AIC Dirt... and possibly Bush's Sixteen Stone
I would prefer Rooster, vocals there are insane! But Rain When I Die is a good one too
The Unplugged Alice in Chains show and the background story behind it is incredible. RIP Layne.
What a riff, what a hook, what a chorus, what song, what phenomenal vocals, what an awesome rhythm section, what a great band - AIC's first 2 albums are rampacked with such great tracks. Man in the Box and Would are 2 of my favourite songs.
The production is fantastic, and as with so many of the Seattle bands of the grunge era, the drum sound is spot on. I have also always loved the live timing/feel early 90s songs, something that all but disappeared by the end of the decade, much to the detriment of music and the music business. As Bill Hicks once said "play from the heart" - the new punk/rock will be bands recording on tape again, or at least screaming at the drummer to "take that f**king click track out your ear, ya dozy pr*ck!"
Defy the grid - play like a human. Man, it can't come soon enough.
This song really gives me the vibe of the band putting everything they like into a song; Bit of punk bit of sabbath bit of glam rock bit of status quo 12 bar blues some simon and garfunkle vocal harmonies some very dark blues and a bit o metal. Also I feel like this video is giving me my marks back as a merit for all the times i listened to the song on repeat for 20 some odd years dissecting it.
Sometimes in life you're better off not knowing how the sausage is made. But then there is times like this that give you a whole new perspective and appreciation for the sausage maker. Thanks man!
"It is really impossible to match that"...agreed
I love how he explains why this music is more musical than a lot of the stuff today. Idk much about music theory or production, but I just tell people I prefer music where everyone is actually playing an instrument lol
Thx for rig deets at end, really one of your best sounding! That PRS tone was fn brilliant
My all time favorite band! Thanks Rick!
Alice In Chains is almost on another planet in comparison to the bands they get lumped in with. They were so dissonant, eerie, and powerful.
The one and only AIC.Yeah, we had Soundgarden and many other great bands out there, but AIC are the best at structuring the songs, especially by using the talented unique voices of Layne and Jerry. And personally, I love Jerry's guitar works more than any others in 90's.
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. 🙏🏼 They’re priceless in so many ways. There was some talk box in there, and I could see a viral episode on talk box across the board. 🙌🏼
Yes he used a wah in the solo but he also sang harmonies with lane through a Heil Talk Box. You can tell it's not just a standard Wah. This song is soo damn haunting it is unreal. There was nothing like it before and to this day nothing like it after. Some have come close before and after but me personally I feel Jerry and Layne reached the mountain top and thuroughly stomped a huge ass mud hole in everything else's ass that tried! Good lord I miss Layne!
love seeing how stoked you are on this song. and thanks for pointing out all those nuances with the drums and the up beats. really interesting and makes me appreciate the song even more
The “wah” guitars were actually recorded with a talkbox
One of the things I dig about Grunge and particularly A.I.C. is their Blues connection and Soul. They swing.
I know you say your last name is pronounced bee-ah-to, however, I will forever say beat-o. Love these vids. 👍🤘
They didn't do it live, but that's definitely a talk box in the studio.
From Wikipedia: "The song makes use of a talk box to create the guitar effect. The idea of using a talk box came from producer Dave Jerden, who was driving to the studio one day when Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" started playing on the radio.[9]"
Nobody better at the use of the Perfect 4th. Well done, and kudos!
10:38 that’s why I don’t listen to anything on the radio that’s played “perfectly”. Any band not playing to a click, immediately has groove.
Man I love the drum sound on this
Clean version: *exists*
Radios: *censor album version anyhow*
Rick can you please do "Would?" by Alice In Chains? I would really love to see you break down the different parts of that tune.
I don't think there's a tune that better captures the beauty of introspection and the dark space one has to enter for it like Would?
Definitely my favorite Beato video!
Soooo good, one heavy blues song! Thanks Rick!
I really love Jerry"s guitar sound and playing. The Alice in Chains album guitar is so juicy...
I've played guitar for 20 plus years and I reckon I've learnt more about music from these videos than that whole time.
Thank you for this breakdown of a great song and artists. R.I.P. Layne Staley.
