I saw a comment a while back that summed this performance up for me: Watching this song is like watching someone sing the eulogy at their own funeral. Layne knew he was done, he knew he wasn't long for this world.
With the Unplugged show, he was deep in the heroin addiction, so much so that he knew his liver was shot to hell, but he hadn't isolated himself completely yet. If you listen to Jerry Cantrell talk about Layne, all he saw when he looked over at Layne during the Unplugged show was that his best friend was dying and there was nothing he could do. Layne was such a ghost of himself during the Unplugged show. The whole show is heartbreaking to watch. Unplugged happened in 1996, he died in 2002 -- a 6 year long slow suicide. If you want the best LIVE Alice in Chains, look up Love Hate Love live at the Moore 1990. THAT is untouchable perfection as far as a live performance by a rock band. All rock bands should strive to have a live show that perfect.
You're half right. Nutshell was more about the tabloid-like scrutiny of Layne's drug addiction and how he felt about any publicity drawn specifically to him only. Spin Magazine and Rolling Stone both put a picture of only HIM (and not the band as a whole) on their covers, singling him out. It pissed him off. The writer of the Rolling Stone piece managed to piss off the whole band and their management to the point the whole band threatened to kick the writer's ass.
@Tom Waits Yep, that's the one. Rolling Stone tried to cover their ass saying something about the "integrity of the magazine" only then (years later) to put the Boston Marathon bomber on the cover in a Jim Morrison pose. Rolling Stone is such a rag mag these days.
@Tom Waits In that case, Motley Crue must have REALLY pissed them off, because Nikki Sixx has talked before about there being NO CHANCE in Hell Motley Crue would be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame due to the way they acted for a majority of their early career. Since the music industry and MTV have blackballed Layne for how he lived. The Grammys went so far as to invite Jerry, Mike and Sean to the 2003 show, and then refused to put Layne in the 2002 Memorial video (or "forgot to"), it pissed Sean, Mike and Jerry off and they left the show.
@Tom Waits I'm way past where you are. It's already pissed me off how commenters think because Layne had an addiction that EVERY SINGLE SONG was about his addiction. Some songs like Down in a Hole and Heaven Beside You were about Jerry's relationship with his girlfriend and having to get himself out of the doghouse with her. Yes, Layne did chronicle his own feelings about his drug addiction on roughly half the Dirt album. But the other half of that album had to do with other topics. I end up having to write BOOK-LONG posts explaining that NOT EVERY SONG was about Layne's addiction. Unlike what the PRESS thought, NO His addiction DID NOT define the band. Layne was SO MUCH MORE than his addiction. Layne did so much for his bandmates (mainly Jerry). And unlike how Mark Lanegan portrays him in that damn book of his which was that Layne led a bleak existence after Lanegan met him . . . Mark Lanegan's book pissed me off so much. Yes, Layne's life is tragic and it's haunting how he died, how he was found. But Layne didn't have a bleak existence, he had a life that he lived to the utmost (even with his addiction issues that ultimately made him a recluse.)
Even though the band was going through various ‘struggles’ at this time, they still managed to produce the best MTV unplugged show ever recorded. This is a deeply haunting yet beautiful performance. I’m fairly certain they all knew things were coming to an end - but what a way to do so. This was a gift to us all.
Do "I Stay Away". By far the most original tune they ever wrote. Insane dichotomy of beautiful harmony with some of the nastiest grunge they ever did. Also the greatest guitar solo ever written.
"Layne looks like hes come out the Matrix" ...yeh I think Layne probably feels that way too lool joking aside, Layne's talent on vocals is eerie, his voice is so unique but so fragile and powerful at the same time its such an unexpected combo, and he does it with all his heart and soul, and we all feel that , beautiful
From Wikipedia: “One of Staley's last shows with Alice in Chains was the MTV Unplugged performance in New York on April 10, 1996. The recording of Unplugged came after a long period of inactivity for the band; it was their first concert in two-and-a-half years. Staley made his last performance on July 3, 1996, in Kansas City, Missouri, while Alice in Chains were touring with Kiss.”....It’s also impressive that he shot up right before walking on stage and killed the entire setlist.
Any song from live at the Moore show is 🔥.. Man in the Box and Love Hate Love r both outstanding live performances ..Bleed the Freak from the same show was so good they used audio/ video as the official video . It Ain’t Like That from the Singles movie is great as well.. if u want more unplugged Down in a Hole and Got Me Wrong r 1 and 1a from that show for me .. Good stuff Jay , keep them Alice In Chains reactions coming . If you do a studio next Rain When I Die is a must , my fav and a longer song for AiC 🤘👍
Layne was high on heroin during this performance. Jerry was sick with food poisoning if you watch the whole show you can see the bucket they had beside him for him to puke into. Sean did not use brushes he just played very subdued giving it a perfect vibe. Yes that is an acoustic bass. Part of AIC's sound is that they tune a 1/2 step down. With all that going on, this one of the all time best Unplugged performances ever.
999 likes so… here is mine! 1000! This band is full of songs that just grab you deeply! Never heard a live performance where they let the bass shine so much! I love it!
This is one of my favorite bands of all time....but these performances Im mixed about....at this time Layne had lost alot of his mojo due to his addiction battle....its Layne but it isnt Layne like we know
nah, he was about to go INTO the matrix from depression, heroin addiction .......... he says it right in the song - "No one to cry to; No place to come home ... And yet I find it repeating in my head; If I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead" -- right around the 3:20 mark the 1st time he uses his voice in that plaintive wail, the look on his face is DEFEAT - am I the only one seeing that?????
No, God bless you sir! This is why IMHO you are the best reactor on the TUBE. Intelligent, informed and entertaining. Thank you for making quarantine bearable. Stay safe and stay healthy
He was always going through something if you think about it. Their lyrics show someone pretty messed up. Drugs man. 😔 Btw, Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl also used the brushes for their Unplugged set. Pearl Jam put on an Unplugged show with a totally different vibe than these two. Their drummer was almost his usual self. 😅
love this band- this mtv saddens me, knowing his state- if you want to see layne more in his prime live , try love hate love at the moore! always enjoy your reactions!!
Mike Inez is using an Alvarez AB60CE acoustic bass . I actually own the same exact model as he does. He is also using a $10.00 pedal he got from a local music store just before the show
This was when Layne was deep in depression & addiction. I can't remember but I believe his GF died of an overdose before this. About 6 months after this AIC went on tour with Korn & about a month after Layne overdosed & survived but stayed home didn't really tour & a few yrs after he died alone in his apartment of an overdose.
Yours are some of my favorite reactions honestly, they are done exactly as I would think they should be. Well done and yes Sean used brushes and the quote on Mike's bass is referencing Metallica, who at that time had just cut their hair short, and were in attendance in the front row. Lol. :)
During the last year of his life, he locked himself in his apartment, and would not take visitors. He was a shut-in. In an interview, he stated that he knew he was going to die soon. One of the most unique voices ever.
I don't think that interview actually happened. Many think the journalist made it up to sell an article. Layne's family believes this...and it makes sense. He wouldn't let in friends and family, but he pours his heart out to a stranger? He never talked about being out if control, or his addiction at all, with the media then suddenly goes all in. Friends say that the speech patterns and words don't sound like him and some of the things he said were ironically related to past articles written by the journo. There is a YT video all about it.
It's not surprising, but I rarely see anyone talk about their bassist, whether it's Mike Starr or, later, like in this show, Mike Inez. Neither Starr nor Inez is showy a la Flea, but both are solid. What stands out to me, though, is the composition of the bass lines. I'm working off the assumption that each bassist composed his own parts. The bass lines are frequently outstanding and very much add to the overall vibe of the band. The same thing can be said of Sean Kinney on drums, who is wildly underrated.
the haircut comment on the guitar was making fun of Metallica when the guys cut their long hair off. Layne was deep into the hellish depths of heroin addiction. His girlfriend died before he did and it deeply affected him. He died from a speedball and was dead for approximately two weeks before he was found.
Amazing performance, but hard to watch. Layne was in the throes of heroin addiction and it was coming to a head at the time this performance took place. You can see it in him - the frailty, withdrawn and reflective as he realized his life was hitting a turning point and that he was succumbing to addiction... whew - heavy. And he was such a talent. Beautiful and sad performance.
If you like the instrumentation on this, try listening to the studio version with the electric guitar in it. The solo at the end kind of sounds like the guitar is crying and it gets me every time.
Ahhh bangers. Glad your exploring different types of music . You might like scorpion, they got a few good songs like Badboys running wild, I’m leaving you blackout and many more. Billy idol and iron maiden are sick too. It would be great for your channel since I haven’t seen many react to them. Respect bruv🤟🏻
Layne actually had his ffix right before he went on stage. That's why he was so sharp. The sharpness faded. later, he blew the 2nd verse of one of his songs and had to stop. This was the BEST MTV unplugged even with that fuckup. They have a song called GODSMACK (not the band), you should listen to that if you get a chance.
it's difficult to watch this performance. Layne was so sick with addiction at the time and was so obviously wasted....it's almost like watching him commit suicide.but he still had that voice.
check out love hate love live at the moore. Layne did herion before he came out which is why this was the last live performance and end of Alice in Chains
This was not THE last show, but it was one of the last few. Apparently Jerry also had food poisoning this night and was throwing up and all that. Other bands would cancelled, but AiC continues to bring it home 🤘🏻☮️🤙🏻
This wasn't Layne's last show, you can easily find it on here. Actual last show is even sadder since he hardly moves at all. Definitely not the end of AIC either, their newer stuff is still good.
Please react to the AIC - down in a hole!! The unplugged version! I know you did the album version but every song on the unplugged album is better then the album version imo. And you get to watch them live! Layne and Jerry’s harmonize and it makes this hauntingly beautiful soul. It’s a must for every fan of AIC!
No. Layne was neck deep in heroin addiction in this. He faded away after this, and became recluse. Fans egged his drug abuse on to make music. So he hid away. He was a shell at this point. He was found dead in his place several years later. He had been dead for 2 weeks when found. Don't do drugs kids.
Love Hate Love: th-cam.com/video/l9jX1KAKp78/w-d-xo.html You will not be disappointed. Alice In Chains has so many great tunes, imho the best band to come out of the Seattle grunge era (even though they considered themselves basically metal), and Love Hate Love demonstrates Laynes powerful vocals like no other tune. If you want to react to a fantastic AIC tune that others have not, do Dirt, the title track from the album Dirt. Maybe next check out Them Bones, I Stay Away, and Rain When I Die. That last one is my personal fav AIC tune... no pressure. For deeper cuts: Junkhead, Sludge Factory, Again, Got Me Wrong.
Jerry Cantrell is incredibly underrated. His a a phenomenal guitarist, a brilliant songwriter, and a freaking all around great human being. 💚💚💚
💯
Yeah, the Gibson interview with him was so cool and it really shows how down to earth and great musician he is.
I bought his album :)
Underrated? What? Hes known as the "riff king." Hes in the top 100 guitarist of all time.
Easily in most people's short list. Underrated. No. Underappreciated. 💯!!!!
I saw a comment a while back that summed this performance up for me:
Watching this song is like watching someone sing the eulogy at their own funeral.
Layne knew he was done, he knew he wasn't long for this world.
The Love, Hate, Love performance is the one really want to hear Layne's power.
With the Unplugged show, he was deep in the heroin addiction, so much so that he knew his liver was shot to hell, but he hadn't isolated himself completely yet. If you listen to Jerry Cantrell talk about Layne, all he saw when he looked over at Layne during the Unplugged show was that his best friend was dying and there was nothing he could do.

If you want the best LIVE Alice in Chains, look up Love Hate Love live at the Moore 1990. THAT is untouchable perfection as far as a live performance by a rock band. All rock bands should strive to have a live show that perfect.
Friends don't let friends get "friends" haircuts. Metallica had just cut their hair and were sitting in the crowd.
Lmao. Thats really why he wrote that?
@@betts12220 That's what they said on Lars radio show with Jerry Cantrell. Mike Inez was messing with them.
This song is about singer Layne Stayleys battle with Heroin, which sadly took his life!
You're half right. Nutshell was more about the tabloid-like scrutiny of Layne's drug addiction and how he felt about any publicity drawn specifically to him only. Spin Magazine and Rolling Stone both put a picture of only HIM (and not the band as a whole) on their covers, singling him out. It pissed him off. The writer of the Rolling Stone piece managed to piss off the whole band and their management to the point the whole band threatened to kick the writer's ass.
Mad Season's Wake up is more about heroin, or Junkhead
@Tom Waits Yep, that's the one. Rolling Stone tried to cover their ass saying something about the "integrity of the magazine" only then (years later) to put the Boston Marathon bomber on the cover in a Jim Morrison pose. Rolling Stone is such a rag mag these days.

Yes me again LMAO Alice In Chains Man In The Box Live At The Moore! You won't regret it, anything from live at the moore tbh.
From Wikipedia: “One of Staley's last shows with Alice in Chains was the MTV Unplugged performance in New York on April 10, 1996.

With all that going on, this one of the all time best Unplugged performances ever.
You know a song is the perfect length when you think it was too short. They always leave you wanting more.
He's playing an acoustic bass with a little bit of chorus dialed in.
999 likes so… here is mine! 1000! This band is full of songs that just grab you deeply! Never heard a live performance where they let the bass shine so much! I love it!

The whole MTV Unplugged series is outstanding.
When Layne was found he still had the needle in his arm.. and he had been dead for two weeks..
Check out "down in a hole" from them at the same concert.
@@Barnes466 sure is
The bass tone is fuckin filthy! Absolutely incredible.
That guitar says friends don't let friends get haircuts. He's talking to METALLICA
No, God bless you sir! This is why IMHO you are the best reactor on the TUBE. Intelligent, informed and entertaining. Thank you for making quarantine bearable. Stay safe and stay healthy
This Band was special they take us down a different road.
I watched this on MTV way back in ‘96. My god. What a BEAUTIFUL time brother
He was always going through something if you think about it. Their lyrics show someone pretty messed up. Drugs man. 😔 Btw, Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl also used the brushes for their Unplugged set. Pearl Jam put on an Unplugged show with a totally different vibe than these two. Their drummer was almost his usual self. 😅
Stone Temple Pilots unplugged is worth checking out too I think
love this band- this mtv saddens me, knowing his state- if you want to see layne more in his prime live , try love hate love at the moore! always enjoy your reactions!!
It's like watching him sing at his own funeral. RIP Layne.
5:12 yes it is an acoustic bass, instead of pickups or humbuckers I believe they used microphones to amplify the sound
Song is about his struggle with addiction. That was his first live appearance in 4 years and also his last.
He played one more live show and OD after.
RIP Layne, Cobain, Biggie, Tupac, Cornell, Chester, Jam master and Weiland.
Mike Inez is using an Alvarez AB60CE acoustic bass . I actually own the same exact model as he does. He is also using a $10.00 pedal he got from a local music store just before the show

It is an acoustic bass. Alice my top 3 favorite bands! Great reaction.
Love as a black man you can respect a legend like layne Staley. Much respect. And yes that was a bass acoustic
The acoustic bass isn't used in music enough...love that sound.
Ur the first person I’ve seen to actually say something about the amazing bass in this song so huge props to u for pointing that out my guy
Safely in my Top 10 songs of all time!

I've seen so many interviews and things like that with people who knew him, and they all described him as a sweet and gentle soul. :'(
I think this is not long before he died.
Definitely love hate love live version next

One of my favorite...so long ago..time flies
Should definitely check out Junkhead (live)!!Personally my favorite performance by Alice In Chains. Such a dark and heavy song to listen to.
He was going through a really bad time. But still put a amazing performance on.
These songs tap into the DNA
Much love. Hope you are well
That Matrix remark was funny. Nice that someone put some fun in this. I garrentee that Layne would also laugh at this
This is the performance that made me fall in love with the acoustic bass. I had no idea it could sound like that. Incredible.
Shit is hard to watch. Gets me every time. What a talent Layne was. Sucks he couldn’t get over his demons. RIP
Amazing performance, but hard to watch. Layne was in the throes of heroin addiction and it was coming to a head at the time this performance took place.

The drummer is Dave grohl lead singer and more for the Foo Fighters
wrong
No, the drummer is Sean Kinney, from Alice in Chains.
Right I must of reacted to the wrong song
Layne had the greatest voice of my life. As much as I love Cornell Layne spoke to my soul like no other artist ever has.
to the point of how u feel. open to music. on point of the sound of music.
I love this one ❤ thank you
He was smacked off H, and somehow that allowed his pain to pour out in his music
Go studio on this one bruh!!!! Live is great, studio is divine.
RIP LAYNE!
Ahhh bangers. Glad your exploring different types of music . You might like scorpion, they got a few good songs like Badboys running wild, I’m leaving you blackout and many more. Billy idol and iron maiden are sick too. It would be great for your channel since I haven’t seen many react to them. Respect bruv🤟🏻
The most beautiful yet haunting song ever!
Layne actually had his ffix right before he went on stage. That's why he was so sharp.
The sharpness faded. later, he blew the 2nd verse of one of his songs and had to stop.
This was the BEST MTV unplugged even with that fuckup. They have a song called GODSMACK (not the band), you should listen to that if you get a chance.
New sub here. Excellent reaction. Look forward to seeing more content!
it's difficult to watch this performance. Layne was so sick with addiction at the time and was so obviously wasted....it's almost like watching him commit suicide.but he still had that voice.
Down in a hole (MTV UNPLUGGED)
What a vibe 🤘
Join the club brotha!
The fact you took the time to learn the names, so great.
that acoustic bass jay with lil phaser on it
Friends don't let friends get haircuts... metallica was sitting front row and just got they hair cut off
The live unplugged Alice in chains is amazing
This song fuck me up everytime I listen to it
RIP Layne
check out love hate love live at the moore. Layne did herion before he came out which is why this was the last live performance and end of Alice in Chains
This was not THE last show, but it was one of the last few. Apparently Jerry also had food poisoning this night and was throwing up and all that. Other bands would cancelled, but AiC continues to bring it home 🤘🏻☮️🤙🏻
This wasn't Layne's last show, you can easily find it on here. Actual last show is even sadder since he hardly moves at all. Definitely not the end of AIC either, their newer stuff is still good.
Note Layne's gloves....he was hiding needle marks.
Nice reaction video man
Please react to the AIC - down in a hole!! The unplugged version! I know you did the album version but every song on the unplugged album is better then the album version imo. And you get to watch them live! Layne and Jerry’s harmonize and it makes this hauntingly beautiful soul. It’s a must for every fan of AIC!
Jar of Flies is probably the best album of the 90’s..
“Friends don’t let friends get ‘Friends’ haircuts”. Little jab at Metallica when they cut off their long hair lol
No. Layne was neck deep in heroin addiction in this. He faded away after this, and became recluse. Fans egged his drug abuse on to make music. So he hid away. He was a shell at this point. He was found dead in his place several years later. He had been dead for 2 weeks when found. Don't do drugs kids.
Thank you for reacting to another legendary AIC song!
Matrix? I guess a hit of the little Ms. Heroin more than likely! So sad what a treasure to lose to such an insidious drug!
Try Frogs!!! Alice In Chains unplugged version
Another song that’s absolutely beautiful is Don’t follow. I believe that’s the name if not someone correct me
Sick j dilla shirt bro. Legend!
Love it bro, listen to all 90s music.
Layne's in a battle with heroin here.
Good work on here
Love Hate Love: th-cam.com/video/l9jX1KAKp78/w-d-xo.html
You will not be disappointed. Alice In Chains has so many great tunes, imho the best band to come out of the Seattle grunge era (even though they considered themselves basically metal), and Love Hate Love demonstrates Laynes powerful vocals like no other tune. If you want to react to a fantastic AIC tune that others have not, do Dirt, the title track from the album Dirt.
Maybe next check out Them Bones, I Stay Away, and Rain When I Die. That last one is my personal fav AIC tune... no pressure. For deeper cuts: Junkhead, Sludge Factory, Again, Got Me Wrong.
That J Dilla shirt is super nice 👍
AIC - "OVER NOW" Unplugged. It's a Jerry Cantrell showcase
Got a Suggestion for an Australian song if youre keen. Its called "Playing to Win", by Little River Band or John Farnham.
Okay you sure enough have to hear "Would" from AnC
Great job
The only band I like live
