another reaction channel said, that all songs are only about pain... thats correct... but isnt it by far more sad, that so much people feel that pain too and can understand word for word what he was feeling... thats the sad fact...
I think Mike Patton could give him some run. But overall I agree. One of my favorite parts was how well him and Jerry could harmonize. Not that it is in this song, but if you listen to Alice you know what I mean
Chris and staley are on the same level but chris can hit the highest but i mean did layne ever try to reach chris highest ? Sad to say we may never know but i believe he could
This song is a masterpiece. Literally, it's the hymn of Alice in Chains. Jerry is a guitar master, I would like people to value it much more. Layne was the best vocalist of all time, in my opinion. There will never be another like him. These four guys, they made the best band of all. Great reaction. Please, react to Junkhead live.
Dylan, This is one of THE greatest live performances in the history of Rock Music. As you said, this will never be duplicated. Like you I am grateful it was recorded for posterity. (PS I just saw AIC in Auckland , NZ, a week ago and also last year in Israel. Still a great band with William Duval standing in for Layne. But of course there will only be one Mr Staley. RIP)
Rex Ahdar Absolutely man I was floored. Seriously no joke. I was never a huge fan and don’t know much of their material but knew Layne was always respected as a great lyricist & vocalist but to this extent! Had no fu*king Clue. Absolutely phenomenal god dam what a voice.And without question one of the BEST all time performances across the board and not just in rock but In music period. If there’s a good legit song with the new vocalist let me know🤘
Just a tiny correction. This was 1990, Facelift live vhs. Layne in his prime was truly something to behold. I really hope they finally rerelease this digitally.🤞🤞👍👍🍻🤗
One of my buddies was at this concert. He saw all these Seattle bands starting out playing small places. Lucky as hell to have been there for this, wish I had been.
As always, great review my man! Alice in Chains will forever be the epitome of grunge in my humble opinion. Nobody embodies pain quite like Layne Staley.
One of my top 3 favorite bands ever , the man upstairs got a singer when Layne passed. I don't care what anyone says , Layne couldn't and still can't be touched vocally.
Layne..the voice of an apocalyptic struggle between Heaven and Hell. He could go from a crooning lullaby to a snarling scream and back again without missing a beat. He'll always be the best vocalist of all time. There'll never be another Layne 💜🤘🏻
The Singles live shows encompass a few excellent songs. I highly suggest checking out their "It Ain't Like That", along with the other bits, on the Singles Live recordings. And I'm not just lazing about the links. Here's the amazing live sshit .... "It Ain't Like That" th-cam.com/video/gdLwuTpXmHE/w-d-xo.html "Would" and "It Ain't like That" th-cam.com/video/J8ur5lg90sc/w-d-xo.html
Junkhead should have an asterisk next to it. Another spectacular example of how talented Layne was, but the context of the song was the story of his life .... and the exact reason for his death.
Dude, its not the same, but Alice In Chains of today ain't nothin to sneeze at. we saw them in New Orleans recently and it was a banging show. These fellas still bring the house down. I highly recommend catching a show. This was a great reaction video. I'm glad you got to see the beauty of Layne Staley at his best. Thanks, my friend. \m/
WakingRibbons The beauty of Layne Staley is right. My god man what a talent. To be honest I felt like I finally heard Layne for the 1st time. TRULY heard him. Let me know if there’s a song with the new vocalist that’s legit that I should check out🤘
@@dmusiclife5727 I would say: your decision, black gives way to blue, stone, phantom limb, ALL I AM, deaf ears blind eyes, the one you know. Last three of those are from the latest album
Is it weird that I just spend hours repeating the climax of this song? For weeks at a time? No? Just checking. I'm so proud of Layne and that social media is finally spreading his talent across the world. You said it perfectly, my friend. We are all so fortunate to have this moment for all time. Great reaction!
I wish that I had a time machine to go back and enjoy this concert...I was way too young at the time (about four years old) when they did this concert. I'll be thirty-two this year so I know that I could have gotten into the concert nowadays. RIP Layne....I've been listening to you since 1993 and I still do.
What a voice … he is feeling this.. he’s lived it… his pain is out there for all to see. This is the best live vocal performance of them all❤️ May you RIP Layne Staley and Mike Starr❤️🙏🏻
always loved Alice I n Chains , my favorites songs are: rain when i die; sludge factory ; nutshell , brother .....shit there's so many. i remember this time as a great singers era Layne ( of course ) but Chris Cornell and Eddy Vedder too ; this Seattle scene was just amazing !!!
I don’t know how to explain it. When I hear Layne..my hands get sweaty, I break out into goosebumps and the little hairs on my arms stand on end. Simultaneously. Then I want to cry and give him a big long hug. Rest In Peace, Layne. Love from Seattle. 💐💐💐
Yeah I love this reaction, I love watching people get excited over Alice in Chains! I started listening to them about a month ago (I know I know.. shut up) but I have been hooked ever since, never felt this way about any other band or artist(s). I think I might be obsessed haha. But they are just SO GOOD. I fucking love Layne so much. And I know he's not with us anymore, but I love the rest of the band also. a lot. To the point that if I ever get a chance to see them live I'll probably cry the whole show lol. I agree on the part that I feel like this performance and their music in general should be spread like you said, I just want everyone to hear it and love it! Salute
Bro this is one of the most epic live performances I have ever found. It's a twisted emotional song and really shows Layne Staleys vocal ability. Thank you for reacting to this cuz I feel like more people should know about it. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻😜
David Bovey Whats Up David. I can’t thank you enough for this man absolutely phenomenal. Definitely one of the best all time performances. Not just vocally but over all. Hope the graphic novel is coming along well. Have a great weekend
Glad you enjoyed it bro! Gives me chills every time I watch this performance. It’s a great song, but one that just got taken to another level live. Working on that graphic novel as I was listening to your reaction. :)
It doesn't get better than this, It couldn't get better than this. It will never get be like this. This is performance is perfect. You got a new subscriber. Greetings from a venezuelan. Keep it up, bro!
Love Hate Love live at the Moore is UNTOUCHABLE PERFECTION performed live by a rock band. All other rock bands should strive to have a live performance this perfect. Actually this is not 1992. It's from December 1990. The Moore is a small theater in Seattle with GREAT acoustics. As a song, you have to listen to it from the mindset of a sociopath. Layne Staley's vocal range can run rings around any other grunge singer (including Chris Cornell) in my opinion. Layne could sing the phone book and never hit a wrong note. Even at the end of his life, with no teeth and a lisp, his voice, wit and humor were all still there. Layne's voice and vocal range was so powerful he did NOT need auto tune or pro-tools until he lost his teeth and had a lisp around 1998, and even then he still killed the vocals. Barrett Martin (who played with Layne in Mad Season) said that when he stood to the side of the stage, he could hear the sound of Layne vocal resonance come out of Layne's chest LOUDER than it did coming out of the speakers, Layne's voice was that powerful.
The bands of Seattle scene in the early 90's have such a gr8 vocalists. Layne Staley for sure but you can check Chris Cornell (Soundgarden - Slaves & Bulldozers) and Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam - Black (Unplugged)). It was a fantastic era !!
Layne to me is the the best voice.. I grew up just short of seattle back when the shit was going down... I have been lucky enough to meet Layne's mom a few times, at Layne's benefit shows.. she's so nice.. man, the world is such a less of a place without Layne in it!!
Why have I not seen this until now!? The video I have seen before, but Dylan your reaction I have missed! I can always tell your love for musicianship and vocals like Layne has. It is a treasure that will be missed. Layne was one of the best in the era of grunge rock in the 90's! That is my wheelhouse and I will always have a special place for 90's rock in my soul! Keep rocking man! Be well!
Entire performance (all the songs from this set) - fucking flawless. You can tell just by watching……he means & feels every word. This song, although sounds a little ‘off’- it’s perfect b/c it’s what makes it soooo haunting and hard hitting. I get chills every time he starts ‘you told me Im the only one’….he sings with his entire body.
D4md Cykey Oh yeah man you saw it! One of the all time best performances hands down across the board. And not just in rock but in music period. Absolutely phenomenal 🔥🔥
@@dmusiclife5727 ~ No doubt, dude. I put it right up there with, to me, perhaps the most riveting performance of any singer in video recorded history: Janis Joplin singing 'Ball And Chain' at Monterey; that one still gives me chills. I'm sure there is a number of younger viewers out there that have never seen it, or even heard of her, maybe you can fit this one into your Reactions when time permits: th-cam.com/video/X1zFnyEe3nE/w-d-xo.html
A 4 piece band sounding like an orchestra! Unmatched and was lucky enough to have lived in Seattle in 1980s and 90s. Saw them for cheap. Bar to bar in beginning then venue to venue. Was the most fun I've had! Seattle was buzzing back then! Music heaven! 💞✌
Hey man! Great reaction! Just a note, AIC still tours, just with a new lead singer, William DuVall. He's not Layne, but he holds his own. I'm going to see them next month here in MN. See if they're coming near you, they still got it. Cheers!
I felt the same way you did when I first saw this performance. It blew my mind. Now it's my go to video when I need a pick up. Miss the Original Alice in Chains!!!
Going to see them and Korn in July. Can’t wait. I never got to see Layne. I miss his vocals very dearly. But we are lucky enough to relive his wonderful voice through their previous work and videos of concerts. Also, he did one record with Mad Season and I loooove that album too! Thanks for the vid love seeing people to react to this ear porn!
Nancy Wilson of Heart said she had never heard anyone like Layne, she said music exploded out of him, not just from the microphone but he literally shock the stage and performers would gather at the sides of the stage because of his shear unmatched power. She also said singers like him only come around once in a lifetime if your lucky…and she has killer pipes herself✝️✝️✝️
Man. Love the reaction. This is EXACTLY how I felt when I heard this song on YT. I would have never thought anything live would have sounded so good. It kills the studio version and almost makes the studio version sound like the mambi-pambi version - studio lacks all of this power and emotion.
Dio Febrian I could do a live performance if there’s a good one. I’ve heard all their famous songs but I haven’t heard anything that hasn’t been on the radio and what have you.
AIC is, and will always be one of the greatest bands EVER. I saw them in '92 here in Indianapolis, Indiana , I had only heard man in the box a couple times on the radio. Their performance was awesome. Layne Staley is so very missed in this world. Will never be another like him. This is my favorite song ❤️

Hey Dylan if you like this performance try listening to "Bleed the freak", from the same concert...Flawless performance! ! Plz watch!!!! You won't regret it!
I can never get sick of this performance.
Sara Jade One of the best performance ever hands down. Not just in rock but in music period.
Couldnt agree more. Best live performance ever created!!✌❤
Its literally perfect
Me too. I'm viewing all Alice in chain reaction today Lol.
another reaction channel said, that all songs are only about pain... thats correct... but isnt it by far more sad, that so much people feel that pain too and can understand word for word what he was feeling... thats the sad fact...
The world wasn't ready for Layne.
Anson Tiger Sports Pics RIP 🤘
One of the greatest vocalists of all time. But the greatest of his era for sure
Damon Ramos 💯 Damon. Phenomenal
I think Mike Patton could give him some run. But overall I agree. One of my favorite parts was how well him and Jerry could harmonize. Not that it is in this song, but if you listen to Alice you know what I mean
@@mattroxursoul Mike Patton’s the man but Layne was on some other shit
Him or chris cornell for sure
Layne is my favorite vocalist of all time. Period. Having said that, in that era he was not the preeminent lead singer, Chris Cornell was.
Never will be another Layne Staley. Just a gifted individual
"You cant fake this in 92" perfectly said for all the AIC discography with Staley.
Ryan Downs As real as it gets. Phenomenal
LAYNE mothertrucking STALEY!! Best singer ever. Chris Cornell a close 2nd
Gags Matharoo After this fu*king performance! Unbelievable
cornell is far best. dont fool yourself.
Lol no one comes close to Layne. Best fucking vocalist ever.
Chris and staley are on the same level but chris can hit the highest but i mean did layne ever try to reach chris highest ? Sad to say we may never know but i believe he could
For me it's the other way around with Layne being very close behind. The only singer I put above them is Devin Townsend.
geez dude, I've never listened to much Alice in chains, I might have to get started on that.
coolman1789 Right! Me neither man but after this jaw dropping performance I need to dive into more for sure 🤘
coolman1789 Oh god, what are you doing here then!? GO!
My favorite band of all time
@@trendkill196 same here dude, same here.
Yes you might
This song is a masterpiece. Literally, it's the hymn of Alice in Chains. Jerry is a guitar master, I would like people to value it much more. Layne was the best vocalist of all time, in my opinion. There will never be another like him. These four guys, they made the best band of all. Great reaction. Please, react to Junkhead live.
Yea, each one of the members is a master of their art 👌
FACTS!!
I've seen over a dozen reactions to this video...I must say THAT is the proper reaction to this video!!

AIC with Layne Staley is my favorite band. Layne's voice is so fucking soulful and has so much emotion.
Brandy Green it’s come straight from the heart no question 🔥
I love AiC period...1987-2020
One of the best songs EVER! Great reaction dude, cheers from Brazil.
Absolutely Henrique 🤘 cheers from the US🍻
STILL LISTENING 2021!!! WHY AM I CRYING!!!! I CAN'T!! THIS IS TOO MUCH!!
Just a tiny correction. This was 1990, Facelift live vhs. Layne in his prime was truly something to behold. I really hope they finally rerelease this digitally.🤞🤞👍👍🍻🤗
One of my buddies was at this concert. He saw all these Seattle bands starting out playing small places. Lucky as hell to have been there for this, wish I had been.
This was actually in late 1990.
elninjalaranja 🤘
As always, great review my man! Alice in Chains will forever be the epitome of grunge in my humble opinion. Nobody embodies pain quite like Layne Staley.
MusikIsUniversal Absolutely man🤘 But I don’t even consider them grunge to me they’re just a phenomenal rock band
@@dmusiclife5727 Indeed!
One of my top 3 favorite bands ever , the man upstairs got a singer when Layne passed. I don't care what anyone says , Layne couldn't and still can't be touched vocally.
Check out Brendan Meier, the closest anyone has ever gotten to sound like Laynes voice. th-cam.com/video/YJHVVwkY3EM/w-d-xo.html
He was so underrated! Layne is phenomenal
AIC, Tool, Pink Floyd my big 3. Was curious to see if yours are the same.
My fav singer 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻always in my heart ❤️
Layne..the voice of an apocalyptic struggle between Heaven and Hell. He could go from a crooning lullaby to a snarling scream and back again without missing a beat. He'll always be the best vocalist of all time. There'll never be another Layne 💜🤘🏻
Please do Alice In Chains - Junkhead (live 1992 singles party)
LatestAwakening TV Yes! That’s what I need more live performances from them. Thanks man! If there’s any others let me know🤘
The Singles live shows encompass a few excellent songs.

Yes!!
The best
A spectacular vocal performance by Layne. But it's also nice that you acknowledged the awesomeness of Jerry, Sean and Mike as well. :)
Swati B Absolutely man🤘
Alice even today is so much the sum of all the members...
I watched them with soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and blind melon back in ‘93. It was AWESOME!🤘🏼
Mike Ioannidis Wow. What a time that must’ve been 🤘
Now that's a line up
"saw my reflection and cried. So little hope that I died"... RIP Layne. Great reaction bro

I come back here everytime to make myself appreciate this song.
Now THAT’S what I call a reaction!
Love Hate Love live at the Moore is UNTOUCHABLE PERFECTION performed live by a rock band. All other rock bands should strive to have a live performance this perfect.
Actually this is not 1992. It's from December 1990. The Moore is a small theater in Seattle with GREAT acoustics.
As a song, you have to listen to it from the mindset of a sociopath.

This blew up when I was 23 and our generation was forever changed greatest vocalist still listening everyday for the last 30 yrs lol I’ll never stop
I could listen to song non-stop and it moves me deeply every single time🥲 haunting, powerful and real!
Layne is PERFECTION... He's the only vocalist who could make my bones cry..
Well said 🤘❤️

You wanna talk about energy, live Alice was electrifying we’ll never have this music again 😔
chris parsons nah man we’ll have it and that’s the great thing about music. I’ll never be able to see them before live but at this we have this
Dylan Caldwell no I mean we’ll never have another Layne and real organic music like this again but we gotta pass it down for sure!!!
Hey man! Great reaction! Just a note, AIC still tours, just with a new lead singer, William DuVall. He's not Layne, but he holds his own. I'm going to see them next month here in MN. See if they're coming near you, they still got it. Cheers!
Robinsos79 Awesome man thanks for the heads up🤘 Have fun at the show
I felt the same way you did when I first saw this performance. It blew my mind. Now it's my go to video when I need a pick up. Miss the Original Alice in Chains!!!
BEST VOCALIST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M IN LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!
Going to see them and Korn in July. Can’t wait. I never got to see Layne. I miss his vocals very dearly. But we are lucky enough to relive his wonderful voice through their previous work and videos of concerts. Also, he did one record with Mad Season and I loooove that album too! Thanks for the vid love seeing people to react to this ear porn!
saw them at the clash of the titans, slayer - anthrax - megadeth and alice in chains. They were absolutely phenomenal !!!!!! Rest in peace LS
Nancy Wilson of Heart said she had never heard anyone like Layne, she said music exploded out of him, not just from the microphone but he literally shock the stage and performers would gather at the sides of the stage because of his shear unmatched power. She also said singers like him only come around once in a lifetime if your lucky…and she has killer pipes herself✝️✝️✝️
This brings tears to my eyes.😭😭😭 Rip Layne!!! You are missed.
Best reaction to this on the tube. This is such a epic performance
Gojira - Where Dragons dwell live at hellfest. Trust me.. THAT OUTRO
Why Can't I Think Of A Name? Right on🤘
Agreed, it is legendary
The first time I heard this song in 93 or close to that I played in on repeat all day. I couldn't get enough.
Great legit reaction Dylan. Thoroughly enjoyed it, subbed. I’d love to see more aic. 🤟
cshaw76 After this performance?! 🔥Definitely going to dive into more AIC🤘
Man. Love the reaction. This is EXACTLY how I felt when I heard this song on YT. I would have never thought anything live would have sounded so good. It kills the studio version and almost makes the studio version sound like the mambi-pambi version - studio lacks all of this power and emotion.
William Twiner Yeah, this was Outstanding. One of the all time best performances EVER
Grunge had some amazing vocalists for sure. The Bb Layne hits in this song with distortion and vibrato is nuts. His vocal control is insane.
You must listen Alice In Chains - Rooster
Dio Febrian I could do a live performance if there’s a good one. I’ve heard all their famous songs but I haven’t heard anything that hasn’t been on the radio and what have you.
AIC is, and will always be one of the greatest bands EVER. I saw them in '92 here in Indianapolis, Indiana , I had only heard man in the box a couple times on the radio. Their performance was awesome. Layne Staley is so very missed in this world. Will never be another like him. This is my favorite song ❤️
