Alice In Chains - Junkhead - Live Hollywood '92

[myPAINisSELFchosen85]

I love dealers who are high, they convince me to buy :) my drug of choice is heroin or opana 40mg at the very least

[MrMadaicseason]

i normally don't do this, but thumbs up to me being the 85000 view!!! Plus a toss up...this version or the Oakland version with Layne on crutches??

[questscience1]

Mike was killing it, damn.  Amazing.

[stefan103]

Layne is off key here. Not the best version.

[jen85del1]

need new panties after listening to this :)

[GnosticPrince]

@jen85del1  You need some respect you whorish bitch.

[jen85del1]

@GnosticPrince First off Fuck you!....... Second how does what i said have anything to do with not having respect!? Youre a fucking Douche bag....... GET A LIFE

[thclsddmt147]

@GnosticPrince Yea and fuck furio for calling this the best song

[ghostwhiskey]

@jen85del1 you have my respect,if I was female Id probably feel the same way

[furio1000]

best song

[coonscrib]

Was this Alice's crowd or were they opening for someone here?

[NoatallicA]

Layne had such a phenominal voice. Why do the greatest musicians die young and we're left the Biebers and the Jonas?

[UnseenAGT]

I would love to see AIC with Layne, I would do E then go see them

[strunx10]

Missing the 90's...

[bavelli]

THIS CHORUS IS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL

[Deddarth]

Love how Layne walks off to give Jerry the stage for his solo.

You were a great guy Layne... We miss you. 9 years tomorrow.

[EyEsEnBeRg]

wow dude...this video is amazing, the sound is great, the song is ridiculously amazing, the band is one of the greatest bands to walk the earth. Thank you for posting this vid :D:D:D

[Bubblebeanz]

This is one of my favorite AIC performances. Starr was a beast on that bass. Go fly, brother.

[roccotanto]

RIP Mike Starr....he didn't get kicked out til mid 93.....

[wakegrrl]

RIP Mike Starr.

[buddablazer1]

wow, not a single thumbs down! cool!

[wakegrrl]

I love Mike Starr's headbangs, lol. They rock.

[mjpanek68]

Get ready for goose bumps starting at 0:04 and ending whenever you stop listening to this man sing !

[YoungFlannel]

They got rid of Starr because of his drug addiction, but they knew they couldn't get rid of Staley, because he was that great. Legendary singers cannot be kicked out and replaced.

[WintersandSummers]

Theres nothing better than smoking a J and listening to this song.

[Tylerbtn]

Where the hell is Time Travel when you need it? Jesus, they were such great preformers.. Can't be touched, no fucking way!! RIP Layne Staley

[TheRockchick1981]

@Tylerbtn I am with you dude I wanna come and bring Layne back

[TheYelats]

sua voz é potente demais



[Crimsonn21]

@dosomethin888

i like 'em too, but that's mike starr!

[dosomethin888]

@Crimsonn21 Dude my bad thats what i meant.

[CDogg74]

@Crimsonn21 Nope that's Mike Innez

[Crimsonn21]

@CDogg74

No, you're wrong mate. Inez was with Ozzy Osbourne's band until 93.

[pigdisposal]

@CDogg74 thats Mike star all day! put your contacts in dude. lol

[Brandovibe]

@CDogg74 anyone who confuses starr for inez shouldnt even be allowed to listen to anymore AIC. While inez is a great player, he couldn't touch starr with that kind of intensity....

[Wesson4]

@Brandovibe couldn't agree more

[itsyaboyitsyaboy]

@CDogg74 lol thats mike starr you fucking idiot, best bassist AIC ever had

[zukev1]

@Crimsonn21 Starr & Cantrell hi 5 at the end. 

[treyofour]

3:29 holy shit layne, i miss you and your music...that was a fucking awesome note he hit and no one can touch this motherfucker EVER ..best vocalist fucking ever

[TheConstruct]

@treyofour Are you kidding me?! You call that lame scream a note? Goes to show how little YOU know.

[golfnike06]

@TheConstruct you are a dumbass. try hitting any of his shit night after night after night after night.  his vocals had balls

[TheConstruct]

@golfnike06 Still does not negate the fact that the scream was not all you cracked it up to be.

[surgelogic]

@TheConstruct Lame scream? Holy shit you are fucking moron. Why did you even watch the vid if you don't like his lame scream.

[TheConstruct]

@surgelogic Shut up. The scream was lame period.

[coonscrib]

Holly Shit. Imagine all the people showing up to this show after having seen them in Hollywood in 91 and all of a sudden theyre this sinister masterpeice. Man is Dirt ever different than Facelift.

[sebastionbach]

Layne sounds like he permanently has a drop saw in his chest that he uses to make awesome vocals with.

[atkmso03]

I always wondered how come the band didnt have antother guitar, well laynes voice its the answer i guess...seriously good with overdrive when needed haha

[strongerthanallgtr]

i am covering this song now damnit layne you are the man!

[1chamberlain1]

These are some pretty honest lyrics, kinda fucked up how people sing along to this, me being one of those people lol

[mascancan1]

Layne Staley's songs keep on....

[magda741612]

yeah,yeah Layne 

[darklight385]

Mike starr had so much more energy than inez ..... staley and starr kinny and cantrell are AIC to hell with inez and will they are good but its just not the same

[draciel80]

@darklight385 mike inez is a beast man. i like both starr and inez.

[rsohlich1]

@darklight385 you have a good pt. The original lineups of bands like AIC are usually always better.

[craziness5932]

God, that just fucking rocks. I hope they play this next time I see them.

[77goblinshark]

true rockin roll. Layne u r my hero. Money Status means nothing to me!

[zachw1014]

I hope Mike's doing well now, and as for Layne...RIP, what a fucking LEGEND he is!

[77goblinshark]

Satan!

[partyongarth420]

i really like that bassist

[blazed24sevn]

@partyongarth420 thats mike starr.. originaly bass guitar from AIC but was replaced soon after this... i miss both mike and layne playing with AIC!

[devlzreject666]

@blazed24sevn i met the new bassist and hes a really cool guy. its like youre his best friend when he talks to you. still it would be cool to see mike starr back. if hes stayed sober

[blazed24sevn]

@devlzreject666 ya mike inez seems like a cool guy... Mike starr does too aslong as he is not withdrawling from heroin or methadone... im addicted to opiated and it is very hard to quit. i wish him the best.

[beAVENeasy]

if you see a man gripping the mic wit sunglasses looking kick ass and giving you goosebumps just from words......its not god......but pretty fucking close

[mnityumistawoot]

i love layne so much see u soon layne

[AliceinChains8593]

Speaking of AiC albums, I think their self titled album is far too overlooked and under appreciated. Just give it a listen, all the way through. You can tell there was a lot of experimenting with that one and everything just sounds fucking righteous. Fav song off that one has to be Head Creeps.

[LongGoneDay1]

@AliceinChains8593

Yea i agree with you. I couldn't say it's my favorite, because DIRT was epic, but right now It's my most-listened-to album

[AliceinChains8593]

@LongGoneDay1 There's no question that every Alice album is epic. I just never hear about the self-titled one anywhere. And I popped it in one day some time ago and just had to drop everything I was doing to sit and appreciate it.

[draciel80]

@AliceinChains8593 you actually have to listen to that album a few times to understand it...i kno i did. it actually has most of my favorite songs by them on it

[DaedalusPlus]

Amazing.

The lyrics are mind blowing.

[77goblinshark]

layne is a fuckin legend. he will never die .junkhead is is one of the all time greatest songs,and maybe my favorite Chains song.

[AshesOfHopeJT]

best performance i have ever fucking seen, the intensity moved me, when layne checked out we all lost something important

[laynestaley15]

@kevinAIC33 - yeah, I know Junkhead was on Dirt - I am just biased towards Facelift because it was my first AIC album :)  I still have the cassette! LOL.. priceless!

[holynapkin]

@laynestaley15 Facelift has always been my favorite as well.

[KRAMREAD]

facelift is a masterpeice !

[sandrastaley]

when I first "met" alice in chains and I heard this song I didn't understand why such direct lyrics, if you know what I mean. then I fell in love with this band and then I got it.

[kevinAIC33]

PPL don't make tunes like this anymore! There is no heart/soul in music anymore it's all about the trend!

[laynestaley15]

@kevinAIC33 - I agree- i don't see ppl making tunes like this either - it's been what, almost 18 yrs since Facelift was released, and I have yet to hear another album that even comes close to Facelift!!

[kevinAIC33]

@laynestaley15- yeah but Junkhead was on Dirt.... But your right no band since Alice comes even close!

[Bubblebeanz]

Man, oh man...could Layne Staley sing or what?? Mighty and Fierce is the young Layne Staley...no one can touch him. Then or now.

[coopersgrl]

@Bubblebeanz So true, the new kid has balls for trying but nobody can touch Layne.

[millerlitebox]

@Bubblebeanz oops imma little fuckered and hit down thumb on accident



[buddablazer1]

@Bubblebeanz one man. phil anselmo

[fenderstratman120]

2 years later they disbanded he was so sick all the time. thats when he started mad season.

[Aic1944]

That pinch harmonic he did at :41 sounded badass with the song.

[kevinAIC33]

That's Layne for you though, he was a living harmony!

[TehGhoul]

You can't understand a users mind, try with your books and degrees..

My god what happened to music, Alice in Chains were, are and always will be the shit.

[TheKeatan]

Jerry's solos give babies beards. 5 stars.

[sickboy3636]

Hahaha, what an awesome comment. AIC is the SH!T.

[ithinkimdumb]

Man i've been clean from junk for 2 years now. Thank god for Nirvana and AIC

[TheThroney]

i meant to click up ,sorry , good job anyways

[msdana87]

i agree on the sexiest guitar solo ever at 2:47

[msdana87]

fuckin aye Layne

[NIRVANA4LIFE123]

Wow there's alot of girls that like AIC.

That's pretty awesome.

[iEatEvilForLunch]

2:47 sexiest guitar solo ever

[stefano10c]

ALICE IN CHAINS FUCK YEAH !!!

[gozasl1130]

"whats my drug of choice"...probly the best band ever...havnt heard the new stuff....i want to baaaad!!!!

[lenowin]

AIC rocks this fuckin audience out. Wish I coulda been there.

[aidans101]

lol look at jerry and mike starrs head from 4:40 to 4:47.

this band was sick but without mike and layne there not as good like there new is singer is ok but not as good as layne and my opinion is that mike starr is one of the best bass players ever and when he was appart of the group the made some of there best stuff.

[sirmiklo]

layne fuckin rocked out here in alot of videos he doesnt move, he looked real healthy here

[venom6echo]

layne sounds fucking awsome here!!!

[AICpantera]

he always does :)

[davewah3]

mike starr is the shit

[kurtcourtney67]

Very cool.

[troyarci]

I was at this show.. It was at the Palladium..

[erethe]

who were they playing with?...was it Slayer or Van Halen or some other band?

[troyarci]

No Slayer.. No Van Halen.. LOL This was an AIC headlining show. I got there late and didn't see who was playing before them.

[BluesDude13]

Metallica.

[TheCosmicEnergy]

This is one helluva show. I just wish the sound was louder. The torrent I downloaded this from originally said it was from 10/15/92 and I also saw on a Alice in Chains forum where they said it was actually 10/22/92. So are you sure that this is from 12/15/92?

Cheers,

Cosmicº°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø

[cwagnerwv]

This entire show was one of their BEST ever.

[plankboi]

omg wow this is incredible. what an amazing singer and what amazing presence he had. that voice, wow.. i have goose bumps. this is one of my favs of theirs and he sings it better than on cd. i'm so happy to have seen footage of him before the drugs took total control.

[captainasome]

its sad hes gone i never got to go to a live show thanks mom but his voice is so amazing hes one of the best

[plankboi]

i find it disgusting that alice in chains was like the red headed step child to nirvana and pearl jam. when in reality their music was just as important as nirvanas and i'd say way better than pearl jams. they never measured up in the music industry, but maybe thats a good thing. they were afforded the ability to keep their music how they wanted it maybe more than other bands.

[mettlfreek]

the 90s wuz horrible to amazin artists

[darkahnubis]

i noticed over the years, his stage presence and voice got a little weaker. i remember seeing one show around '95 that he wasn't moving around as much like he was during this show. i recently watched theunplugged show for the first time in years and just began to notice how the drugs as affected him over the years. it's really sad, but it's just something i've been paying more attention to lately. maybe it's just the whole idea of how drugs can really screw people up. Rest easy Layne! RIP

[BenjyCash1]

I actually know what you mean. It's like his stage charisma wated away with his body. Remember him in 89-90? Totally robust hardcore. He faded badly because of the dope. An amazing, genius talent destroyed. I read something about his last year, he would just sit in the back of a bar and stare for hours. Apparently, the bartender claims he watched him die before his eyes. A damn shame...

[quiznell]

can you message me the article?

[Jeff2870]

Layne spent most of his time hiding from the world. Losing teeth, always wasted, always dirty, hiding from friends, family, and bandmates alike. In that VH1 Cantrell interview (the one from 2002, not 1994) they said his dealer was the only person who saw him during the last 2-3 months of his life.

[razorbladesonata]

It's still a better life than having to work a stupid job for a living dealing with the idiot masses. I don't blame him one bit. Good for him!

[crankbearing]

I hated rehab, especially the second round

[northblooduchc]

This is as good as anything I've ever heard or seen. Especially love the vocal harmonies. Just as good live as the record. I'm a drug addict too like the rest of you. Thank God I don't have the money that Staley had that enabled him to get high to death. Listen to that groove. Reminds me of Sabbath. R.I.P. Layne

[treyofour]

what kinda drugs...

[mascamcan1]

whatchu got  lol.

[treyofour]

oxys and lortabs

[punksavedrock]

Great video

[jenniferluchenebaker]

I love this song; layne sings it best!

[g99se9]

Sorry Jerry, Layne was AiC.

[ALBERTromano1965]

MIKE STARR

[albatrosh177]

absolutely deadly....i subscibe to the lament of the song 100% ;)

[beatmik77]

Alice at their best. This is some awesome stuff you got here. Thanks man

[Muhyogeten]

Fuck , this band was so fucking awesome : One of the best singer ever , One of the coolest guitarist ever , a great bassist and and an awesome drummer

[mikecaz1]

This is a good performance and an awesome band, love 'em, BUT, saw 'emj at Lollopalloza in New Orleans about 1994 and layne was so wasted they wouldn't let us take pix (media covering the event). Awful performance, it's a shame that the same source of the beauty of music like this ultimately is deadly.

[funnyguy20092]

Wow I can't believe someone would tell jerry he shouldn't use the name..He can do whatever he wants he IS Alice in Chains..you act like he is some dude who wasn't writing half of the songs himself!

[alicenchains87]

actually considering Layne named the band he is Alice IN Chains...but no matter what they will never be as good as they were ...imo they suck now....i'd never go see them live w/ that joke Duvall at the mic

[Wargrin]

It's not the same but it's still better than...Green Day. Cantrell always ran AIC, before and after Staley dropped off, so stop being belligerent about it. Check out his solo albums if you want new grunge.

[DLFerrariFan]

damn right

[perpitbla5]

Acid, since you asked.

[moonfingers]

Alice in Chains without Layne Stanley is not Alice in Chains.

Cantrell please don´t use that name, respect.

[CantankerousTrencher]

A good night, the best in a long time;

A new friend turned me on to an old favorite..

Sinister how he gets up on the mic to sing. He really emulates his songs. Layne and Jerry had awesome stage presence.

[silverremedy]

My drug of choice is pot. :)

[SabanRulesTheSouth]

I've listened to this song several times live, and it's just so much better than the recording.

His vocals seem so much more raw and "in your face."

[DeimosComaBlack]

Amazing song, amazing band, tragic loss.

[alapanpeoples]

Eeita Som doido \Oo/

[tspope99]

I do it alot... I DO IT ALLLLLOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTT YEA!

[kyle8769]

Why can't he just be pumped on adrenaline? I can get that pumped on adrenaline alone, plus jerry said they did a good job of not being too fucked up at the shows. I mean its easy to point it out to bein drugs, but Layne in his early years always performed like a madman

[Nitrousoxide2k]

He is not high on stage here. You want to see Layne high? Look at the Ahoy videos. Now THAT is Layne high.

[16142]

still he played guitar and sang as good as always but was high, he was great there too

[plievert]

Yess in Ahoy he's really crazy..but it's Crack..no Heroine! Bad stuff i guess..rip

[SmokinBluntzzz]

heroin and crack to be exact

[sexualdrew113]

coke/speed? fuckin guys... who cares anyways? i dont... he was a known drug addict.. he has been smoking crack and whackin' diesel for years upon years... dont you think someone with just h in their system who has experience with it, such as layne or myself could perform an entire show and you might think he/we are energized? that's because we're that addicted that it gives us energy.. without it, there's nothing... just heroin here, guys, sorry. caine wears off rather quickly.

[Taz2161]

Good Luck

[potjacklfc]

i agree

most h addicts will tell ya that eventually your just doing it to feel normal and not sick

[BERUBEJAM]

i highly doubt he could have been using cocaine of any type; hitting those high notes would have made him drop dead of a stroke im sure you wouldnt understand that one though

[Wargrin]

some do it better than others

[schlagdog]

My favorite AIC song.

[Goldberi]

One of the greatest vocalists in the music world, I freely admit I cry because of the gaping hole he left in our souls, miss you, will always love you Layne.

[MissSnickers]

thank you so much!!!

loved it

[fricky109]

layne was as vicious as usual, here, listen- one of the great songs of lic....

[YoungKaz]

man layne sounds totally sinister here .. great live

[dustin2006]

he looks like a very skinny version of kurt in this vid.

[rajuas]

best solo ever, so fuckn great to see this

[nnnnnate]

RIP Layne Staley. One of their best songs ever.

[AliceMudGarden4life]

Alice in Chains: just pure diamonds and pearls!

[DootDootYeah]

So energy Layne

[PUCKWECW]

Alice in Chains are fucking the best band on that's ever been on the planet. Nobody loves AIC as much as me, I live and breath AIC!!!

[MusicMaker19]

I bet there's some people in Seattle that like em a bit more

[dredlockMiki]

Hahaha!!!

[hrket]

Thanks for adding this. Awesome. They were awesome to see. Ah the good old days. Thanks again!!!

[Squishy976]

cantrell plays with a music man ? wolfgang ?

[spazzjunk]

musicman EVH, given to him as a present by eddie himself

[2080javierg]

yeah, the show was awesome. i remember it like it was yesterday. i bow to alerisa83 and the great footage. layne is definitely missed.

[2080javierg]

wow! great footage! i was there. it was a great show and layne was at his best!

[AliceMudGarden4life]

how lucky you are men!

[dredlockMiki]

Right On!! Thanks for uploading this

[Teeb2]

Keep the alice videos rocking. IDK what hes on but yeah, he is def. more mobile.

[AlemasterDR]

Watched a lot of videos from this concert. He's much more mobile. More coke/speed mixed in with the smack maybe?

We need another one like this guy.
