  • Haha, love the MIDI version ;)

  • Layne was the band.

    That´s all folks.

  • @vassast i say cantrell is the band, layne was the singer.

  • @jedsebastian

    We disagree !

    Now we most duel , pistols or swords ?

  • I'd love to have that cheesy synth pop version of Check My Brain playing under an old video game like Donkey Kong, or Super Mario Bros...

  • Hey guess what? Layne was a fucking douchbag, he let himself and his friends down and his fans like me. Alice in Chains is just as good without him.

  • @MrROTD You are right he did let everyone down including himself ,but unless u have lived with addiction and overcome it u should'nt call him a douchebag. They do still kick ass.

  • @MrROTD that said is fucking true.

  • i really think that he's a great singer like the band is still really good it just doesn't hve that same kick and feel like when layne was with them

  • Even in this silly interview they all seem pretty down. When Layne was alive they were always smiling, joking, messing around, happy. None of them seem that alive anymore...Its sad how deeply the loss of Layne is obviously affecting them. Layne was like a shining light.

  • i can find fuckin check my brain midi!!!

  • @vicepc8 hey, me either! but ill make a version some time so ill tell you :)

  • @vicepc8 can't srry

  • "Nobody wants to be Peter Criss, Lois. Not even Peter Criss."

  • Space Cantrell!

  • i want that sound on my cellphone!!

  • fuck Duvall... he fucking sucks

  • @fabianfcs Duvall is great you fucking asshole

  • @fabianfcs do better...

  • Watch out Jerry, open container laws!

  • Great interview....

  • Jerry blows smoke right in her face!

  • I wish I quit smoking AFTER I saw this vid

  • I'm surprised they're not cracking themselves up as they're getting their faces done up.

  • damn i need to wash my clothes at that laundromat

  • haha gotta love the midi of" check my brain" x)

  • when i Look at these guys hairs i just soooooo regret i,ve cut my hair,

  • lol 9:30 xD

    great interview.

  • Mike inez is such a cutie :)

  • Jesus Fuckin Christ I was 3 out of 4 KISS dudes for Halloween in the 70's and I could put on the makeup better than that. And I was in elementary school at the time. DAMN!?! And for the grammar nazis I'm sorry for starting two sentences with conjunctions. and im really sory haha!

  • Great comeback album.Nice to see AIC evolving and at the same time remembering their fallen brothers...RIP Layne and Mike,never forgotten.

  • That's awsome they are wearing KISS makeup! Why didn't I find this before?!!!lol

  • Eh, yeah, they were fucking around for the interview! This is the same band that recorded the Nona Tapes! LOL! RIP Layne and Mike! Long live AIC!

  • Whats the pic in the dryer

  • best come album

  • Anyone ever notice how Mike Inez is always smiling and happy (except where he gets teary)? And I love how Sean is always so droll!

  • Argggh!!! Oh no, they have a sense of humor! :D

    Relax - get high and enjoy the GODDAMN Interview - Jeezus!

    [Hey, kids: A LOT of your favorite bands luv KISS] :x

    just do the proper research...

    \

  • @PAZUZUOuija they did something similar in 1995 presenting their album AIC ...

  • @pattonPwr

    I remember that one, it was so awesome. I was something with "Tapes" but I don't remember the name of the video...

  • @TheLeoOfCostaRica "nona"

  • @TheLeoOfCostaRica  the nona tapes.

  • @PAZUZUOuija Anyway AiC is AWESOME, Kiss is AWESOME... The mama's ass of 38 people are TRULY awesome too...

  • I like to get really stoned and play this video game.

    Three cheers for AIC

  • The Kiss makeup is throwing me off.

  • Why were they dressed as Kiss?

  • @Dethrider6 i think they were fucking around for the interview???

  • @Dethrider6 to wash their clothes at the laundry .... like duh who doesn't ?

  • 9:25 -9:32 Owned.

  • Jerry smokes so much, when I saw them he'd light up a cig after every song.

  • Jerry Cantrell and Tony Iommi would write a MASTERPIECE if they teamed up as guitarists for a band.

  • @TheTylerGeissler agreed 2 amazingly tasteful guitarists

  • Jerry and Sean both have that sadness in their eyes. Both have lost a lot of friends. Hopefully they will all find peace in their new music.

  • You look back on old footage of them and they were so happy and hopeful. The world was literally in the palm of their hands. But was it worth it in the end? I wonder if they ask themselves that too.

  • Its sad. Jerry looks like he has walked through hell and back. I can't imagine the sorrow him and Sean feel. I don't think they ever thought it would be like this.

  • Grow up, stupid motherfuckers.  Grow up. The times, they have a-changed.

  • why would they put on KISS make-up???

    that's strange but it FUCKIN' ROCKS

  • I love how Sean always manages to look insanely bored! I think I remember hearing something Jerry said about how the EPK things get boring, so they try to do something to make it fun, like the Nona thing, so they probably did the Kiss makeup to take the monotony out of answering the same set of questions for the millionth time. I'd love to hear each of them tell a story about the funniest thing that ever happened to them on the road - would make an epic interview!

  • For those of you who think they should have ditched the "Alice in Chains" name, I have 2 words for you - Lynyrd Skynyrd. Layne was actually the last one to joint the band, and happened to bring the name with him. Unfortunately, Layne's gone, but Sean, Jerry, and Mike are still here, even if Mike joined later. Why not just enjoy the music? I'm glad I'm not the only one who lost it laughing at Jerry blowing smoke in the artist's face! Makes me laugh every time!

  • Layne Staley & Mike Starr => Rest in sacred PEACE, Brothers! ^v^

  • Mike Starr was found dead yesterday morning everybody...its a sad fucking day man...

  • Actually Mike Starr was the one who said to the band that he wanted to take a "break"...so the boyz said see yah to Starr....and I don't blame them...there they were in the middle of a HUGE tour and their bassist is talkin about time off...so they did what they had to and secured someone who is not only talented but one of the best things that ever happened to the band...Starr was an idiot...he started with the drugs and the rest of the band didn't want to risk another Layne situation..would you

  • Lmfao @ William DuVall's duck lips @ 06:07

  • thumbs up if you think that mike starr should rejoin alice in chains. i don't like the fact that theirs only two original members still left, when there could be three.

  • @iggy21popstar dude mike inez has been with them for ages hes more the orginal bassis then mike start. this is why no 1 liked it because mike inez is better than mike star and hes been with them for a longer time than mike star

  • @Liam5126 stfu mike inez suck Williams cock,mike star is the bassist for Alice in chains if not for him getting Layne into the band you would not be talking about them and i have bragging right i have been listiong to this band since the early 80s when no one knew who they were,everyone was into there glam rock or there nigger music.

  • @666Angelfuck so basicaly ignore my comment then preach hate. Skill. and are you not aware mike inaez has been with them for basically 15 years where as mike star was only with them for about 6 years. and who gives a shit how long youve been listeing to them it dosent matter. also good luck getting mike star back. :)

  • @Liam5126 i can preach hate all i like,it is kind of funny see the black comunity is 100x more chatefull than myself and stupid whites give up there own culture for one that is not theres in the name of hate

  • @666Angelfuck preaching hate is ultimately pointless and doesn't help you. if you've got anger to get out go to the gym and beat the bag.

    if your racism stems from one person, hate them, not everybody who happens to have the same colour of skin. just because there are people in the black community who think the same way you do, you think that justifies your views? 2 wrongs don't make a right. be the bigger man and ignore them, it's not a competition to see who can hate the most.

  • @Rabsputin when it comes to ruing my culture and my country i make it my business and it has nothing to do with hate it has to do with ignorance reverse racism and no change just looking the other way dose nothing but make it worse now if you spread knowledge it dose make a diferince,i hit the gym the back and each other daily but it has nothing to to with any hate,everyone has hate in there lifes one time or anouther even those who claim not to hate

  • @666Angelfuck "my country"

    it's not your country. the continent currently known as north america was invaded by white people.

    "reverse racism"

    reverse racism is racism whatever way you look at it.

    i saw your page said "white and proud". proud of what exactly? proud of being part of a group which has fucked other races wherever you've gone? just look at the history.

    for the record, i'm white and from the place where you ancestors probably left to go to america from.

  • @Rabsputin Faggot

  • @Dethrider6 riiiiight...

    i bet anthrax are really happy that you've named yourself after one of their songs...

    by the way, the word "death" has an A between the E and the T.

  • @Rabsputin Did that intensionally, and as to your fight with @666Angelfuck, that is how all countries start. And by the way, white and proud is not of slavery. In fact every race has had slavery. Furthermore, stop being a Faggot.

  • @Dethrider6 "your fight with @666Angelfuck"

    what fight?

    "that is how all countries start"

    where's your evidence for this claim?

    "white and proud is not of slavery"

    what is it proud of? and who brought up slavery? white men committed more crimes against the rest of humanity than just slavery.

    "In fact every race has had slavery"

    where's your evidence for this claim?

    "stop being a Faggot"

    given that i've got a real thing for the ladies, this is like telling an eagle to stop being a fish.

  • @Liam5126 i ignore you because your a fucking moron

  • @Liam512its kind of like this i was punk back in the day and today you buy yourself a green day cd and you try to tell me what punk rock is??? you dont have a clue retard 6

  • Kiss ye

  • Pure jokes when he blows the smoke right at her...I fucking love you Jerry...meanwhile Mike Inez seems like the biggest gentleman on earth...he seems so quiet and softspoken...underneath all that hair...he is beautiful...and a fucking bad ass bassist...the whole band is bad ass...I am sooo glad as I am sure alot of us are that we get to hear new stuff from AIC...I never thought I would see the day...they definitely have a new sound...attracted a lot of new fans....way to go...

  • @dreaminofJerry  Yeah man. Totally.

  • Fucking love the digital version of check my brain in the beginning.

  • Pure jokes when he blows the smoke right at her...I fucking love you Jerry...meanwhile Mike Inez seems like the biggest gentleman on earth...he seems so quiet and softspoken...underneath all that hair...he is beautiful...and a fucking bad ass bassist...

  • Pure jokes when he blows the smoke right at her...I fucking love you Jerry...

  • those people cant do makeup for SHIT!!!

  • rip off of  the nona tapes and king 5 documentry? wtf u fail cantrell

  • I love this especially the end when their clothes keep spinning around and around in the dryer. The shot through it is kinda spooky and chilling.

  • I think everyone should just be glad that their back. True Layne is gone but not forgotten, and I think Layne would want them to carry on. So many great artist have made that fateful mistake, some mistakes you live with some you die by. But the music has to go on and I think those who have gone would all say the same thing, quit bashing each other and just embrace each other in the music. Remember that in this world we only have each other. Peace.

  • william is like a really cool rock diva haha, i think he brings some new influences to the band :)

  • I love AIC. Always have, always will.

    I love Layne. Always have, always will.

    But Layne is dead. He killed himself just as sure as if he had put a gun in his mouth. There's a time to mourn and a time to move on. We've already done the mourning.

    IMHO, William is just a perfect fit for the band. He has a great set of pipes, harmonizes very well, he's a decent guitarist in his own right, and I think he and Jerry play extremely well off each other.

    Get over it. Let's move on, shall we?

  • Love AiC..The living legends.Good to know that after so many years they still miss Layne and think of him thats true brothers right there..and DuVall is fuckin' awesome for Alice now..He's got some mad talent..my fav band for life!

  • Loe AiC..Living legends.It's good to know that after so many years they still care about Layne..true brothers.and DuVall is fuckin awesome Alice he has some mad talent.

  • Alice In Chains Rules! New chains is bad ass!!

  • True. "Black Gives way to Blue" is really a masterpiece.

  • @Euderos91 yea to a ten year old child perhaps.

  • @666Angelfuck "Its your decision"...;)

  • look its a cross between kiss,Micheal Jackson ,and poo

  • how in the fuck do you cal this aic 2 original members left ,completely changed there sound to gay pop music this band sucks good job Jerry! 

  • @666Angelfuck This IS the original member, except for Duvall, dumbshit. And they did not change "THEIR" (there: a point of destination) sound that much. If you don't like them, GTFO.

  • @Bllackguard666 umm, there is only 2 original members here, angelfuck is right about that, sean kinney and jerry cantrell are originals, mike starr left the band (died a few months ago) and of course layne staley isnt there

  • @chiphead777 Look, Mike Inez has been with them and still is. He was with Jerry and Sean since Starr left after Dirt. Long enough for me, brother. Mike came from Ozzy's band that split, at the time and then replaced Starr almost instantly.

  • @Bllackguard666 what r u even talking about? u said in ur comment that duvall is the only person that isnt an original member, but u r wrong. If ur gonna call someone a dumbshit then make sure what ur saying is right

  • @chiphead777 Okay, how am I wrong? I was listening to this band before you were a cum drop. Let me make this so you get it, "special people" like yourself (another 20-something that knows all):

    Original band: Layne, Mike Starr, Jerry, and Sean. Starr left, Inez took his place. Follow, so far? Then, Layne passes away. AIC breaks up. Jerry puts out two solo albums: Boggy Depot and Degeneration Trip.

    Now, AIC is: Sean, Jerry, Inez and this Duvall guy.

    See? Not so hard, was it?

  • @Bllackguard666 haha, listen, u said duvall was the only person in the vid that wasnt an original member, but thats wrong, mike inez isnt an original member either. Dont give me a run through of the history pal, u obviously dont know what ur talking about. Look at ur comment, it says "This IS the original member, except for Duvall, dumbshit", thats wrong, it should be except for duvall and inez, d'uh. Oh, by the way, Cantrell's solo album was called degradation trip not degeneration trip hahaha

  • @chiphead777 Har har har! Ya got me dar, man!!!

    Please, it's not a huge deal. Go....outside.

  • they are so gay they need make up! 

  • @Euderos91 to who tone def people????

  • "cool hair" haha love duvall fuck the haters LONG LIVE ALICE!

  • I dont give a damn if Layne is the reason why we're all AIC fans, but he died like a fucking moron and AIC still rules. Suck on it bitches.

    He shoulda been more responsible and share the fucking glory, creating many more songs, instead died like a fucking loser.

  • I love the new addition to the band. He pumps new life into Alice in Chains. and man can he sing!!

  • I love the new addition to the band. He pumps new life into Alice in Chains. and man can he sing!!

  • Damn Duvall has such a rockstar look, I love it.

  • Try showing a lil respect if possible....without Layne there would be no AIC fans I happened to be in middle school when Dirt was released and had been a fan since they did shows at the Vouge in Seattle where I would listen from the parking lot....Fuck all of u ignorant shit heads above 30 who think this band is anything more that a cash grab.... eat shit Layne was the band get real!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The "Check My Brain" MIDI at the beginning is epic

  • @TheLazyBasador i been looking for it, where the hell could i find that, i think its the shit too

  • Comment removed

  • @TheLazyBasador All the way it is!!

  • reading a few of the comments, i can see that i'm not alone in this.. but i'm happy they're back together. i own every album and consider AiC as my fav of their era.. they mean a lot to me, as they would to any fan.. and so did the passing of layne. layne was pure talent, a born frontman.. but i honestly feel as though they're doing this to cope and move on, not only for themselves but also for their fans. i'm sure layne is bangin his head and remembering the good ol days along with us all.

  • Jerry C for president 2012!!!

  • I'm Rockso the clown, but I won't do what Laybe did!

  • I hated Black Gives Way.

    At first...

    Now it moves me. Deeply. One of my favorite records of all time. Open your domes, people.

  • layne was AIC if you dont understand that ur a fuckin ignorant shit..... AIC in the 90's made u put holes in your wall .... this shit is fucking elevator music and to me is nothing more than a jerry cantrell solo project with the same players under the AIC name..... get a clue r.i.p Layne

  • @Minton78 Layne was not Alice In Chains. Cantrell wrote 99% of the songs. Layne was the distinct voice, that's for sure. Anyway, this band is far from dead. You? Keep crying and whining. I'll always support this band.

  • @Minton78

    If anyone made AIC what it was, it was definitely Jerry. Obviously, because Layne is gone, and it still sounds like AIC. Everyone misses Layne, but your talking like AIC was a Layne project with three other guys just tagging along. That wasn't so; it was a four-man-band, with each member contributing.

  • @tinmanluver35 Jerry made AIC ......lol were u alive in the early 90's ur are so fuckin ignorant.... If it was not for Layne becoming the singer of this band in 87 you would not even be an AIC fan .....just try to think about what your typin before u click away...c'mon get a clue man.... I bet in ur world Krist Noveselic made Nirvana?? lol dick

  • @Minton78

    Yes, I was alive. I agree that Layne had the voice and was a major part of the band, but obviously they can make it just as well without him. They are doing it right now. A band is nothing without great music, and Jerry brought the music. Layne, Mike, and Sean did also of course, but Jerry was the musical genius behind a majority of the songs. Keep in mind, this is my opinion. If your opinion is different, it doesnt mean that I'm wrong and your right, or vice versa.

  • @Minton78 if layne was alive, he'd tell u to go f**k off. it was not a one man band. there was 4 of them and they all made AIC what it is. if you dont like them now, then why even bother watching this.

  • @CBVideos10 Obviously ur Ignorant.....Layne gave this band the finger years ago... gimme a break jack ass .....where u even alive in the early 90's

  • @Minton78 so what makes me ignorant. the only one ignorant here is you. Did you know Layne personally, were you in his head. You don't know what he was thinking. He was messed up, on drugs, he wasn't in the right state of mind. Layne may have been the main voice, but he didn't make the band. Maybe if Layne had cleaned up he'd still be in AIC, but he's not. AIC is as great as ever with Will, he's not Perfect and Not Layne but he's dang good and brings his own thing too it. Just get over it.

  • @Minton78: Jerry wrote almost everything, lyrics and all. We all love Layne and miss him, but AIC would laugh your ass out the fucking door if they heard you say that.

  • @Dwane5335 u about as ignorant as they come...Sean Kinney himself was totally against using the AIC name after Layne before the record company flashed a lil cash and Jerry twisted his arm ....obviously ...Legacy and Loyalty are not in your vocab....shit 4 brains

  • @Minton78 Haha, didn't know you were with the band. Are you the fifth member that's never seen or heard? You should be there with the rest of them man, speaking your mind in the interview. Not fair since you know what's really going on.

  • this is stupid.  they should have shown some respect and buried the name when layne died.

  • @playadominical Ya well they're the band and it's their art, not yours. Fool. The only thing stupid here are stupid people like yourself.

  • The new album is superb. Keep writing great music guys!

  • lol at jerry blowing smoke at the makeup artist lmao

  • @milliemom50 Ya, that kind of got annoying after a while. I think the director was trying to hard with all the smokes.

  • Who came up with the concept of this interview? Can we give them an Oscar for best band interview of the year?

  • @Gomba13 Dude , i'm not trying to say that this band should dedicate the rest of their career to help me remember a dead dude,dont get me wrong, i meant that is nice that they are going in the same direction that make me love them,and its good that in the process they bring back to "life" to the man that use to make those words sound wonderful, so dont get me wrong bro , i love AIC and what they're doing, with Will.

  • @gibraltar99

    Well, it sounded like you assigned a purpose to them. If you don't need them to help you remember your dead rock star dude, then why do you say "so im not expecting Will to replace Layne , or try to fill hes shoes, but to make remember , that Layne still alive in our hearts"?

    DuVall is not Layne and I don't think he is interested in singing in a way that reminds you of Layne. If he were, then there would be even more whiners saying he is trying to sound like him.

  • @Gomba13 well i say it, because ,Layne, and still is ,one of my personal music idols, and because there's a hole bunch of people saying that Duvall's, never gonna be Layne , and hes never gonna sing like him etc, and he's doing a great job, so for as long as he make AIC rock ass, im cool with the fact of him , mm lets say "replacing" Layne, but i think you're wrong when you say that he is not interested on sounding like Layne, im pretty sure that in some way hes trying to tribute Layne's memory

  • @gibraltar99

    That's exactly the problem: you sau DuVall is never going to be Layne. Why is that an issue? He doesn't have to sound like Layne, that isn't the point. Gosh, sometimes I wish Jerry got on YouTube to get it through the kids' hard fucking heads that this is simply about a band moving on, whichever way they feel like moving on. I really wish the band put this public agony to rest, then you would hear it from the horse's mouth. And I wish kids didn't use YouTube for teenage angst.

  • @Gomba13 You know what? screw you brother, if thats the way i feel about AIC let me f..king be,Duvall is cool,i love AIC, so im glad theyre moving on, and making wonderful music again, but that is just the way i feel, so take your offensive words and go some place else dude, show a little respect for other people ideology, if you don't like it, i couldn't possibly care less, so be it.

  • @gibraltar99

    Funny how you get all offended and accuse me of having offensive words for you, when YOU are the one saying "screw you". If you want respect, I suggest you learn to have some for others. For instance, you could learn to respect the band you are supposedly so much into. Nobody will keep you from jacking off at a Layne Staley poster, but you don't have to project your fantasies at people who have nothing to do with them...

  • @Gomba13 yuo know what, you're right , and i apologize my self for the word i wrote before, so i will close this discussion by saying, Layne it is one of my personal idols, and im sorry that you have to project the things you do with the posters of your favorite stars to me, but , that's ok , and, R.I.P Layne, AIC rock forever, no matter what.

  • back in the day that should have been a bottle of jack

  • Mike, Sean and Jerry, those three smoke cigarettes like fuckin chimneys.

  • yea dude te java

  • Great band, great album! Jesus, these guys smoke a lot ;-)

  • @Haltephanden

    Yeah, lol, Jerry was chain-smoking like crazy. He also takes really long drags on his cigarettes.

  • I feel sorry for Sean. "Not even Peter Criss wants to be Peter Criss."

  • im glad they remember portugal i was in there, best show ever

  • portugal :b

  • hahah at 09:30 he's like take that bitch

  • Big props to William Duvall. He is a great singer, and the songs pretty much sound the same with his voice. To all the "haters", you have to remember that NO singer is ever going to fill the shoes of the original. I don't care what band it is. You could have the brilliant Eddie Vedder singing in Layne's place and it still wouldn't be the same. I miss Layne, but at least AIC has moved on and is still rocking. If they never got back together, then the same people would be shouting for a reunion.

  • Portugal :DDDDDDDDdd

  • will looks like michael jackson pre plastic sugery. when he was a teenager.

  • I don't quite understand the kiss thing

  • @vanhalenkid STP wore the makeup live. AIC does a video. Fans from childhood. For fun I guess. I made a KISS video when I was a kid. Was shown at girls party in high school. Very embarrassed but felt better when I was told all the girls thought I was adorable. Gene Simmons spit his ketchup on me LOL wasn't pleased.

  • @nkmcfrln yeah I remember when STP did it.

  • sean kinney has to be one of the coolest motherfuckers on earth

  • First song listened to them bones when i heard it off a street fighter anime move became a super fan when i heard would? yes Layne will be missed by many but black gives way to blue is a masterpiece. so what i gotta say is welcome back guys and continue to rock and amaze with every song.

  • wow he said Portugal first then Germany, I'm impressed =)

  • How the hell did they come up with that weird/techno dance versionn of Check my Brain?!

  • really nice guys

  • cool hair (y)

  • haha in the car at the beginning, its original guys in the front, and new guys in the back

  • First Song: Them Bones

    Became a Fan: Rooster

    Worth it...

  • LOL 9:30 when she coughs Jerry is like...shoulda moved bitch lol

  • 666Angel fuck <-- someone is angry haha.

  • Alice in Chains was at its best with Mike Starr and Layne. Glad to see they are still going today though.

  • epic ringtone

  • It's a shame Layne's not here to participate in one of the best albums of the band! But i'm sure he's happy with the legacy and the influence he gave to this guys and the respect the band conquered around the world. Alice In Chains are unique, and yes, there's life after Layne Staley!!!

  • i like this video, it's cool, and moving. i love the four of them, i saw them recently in spain, and they all rock!!! amazing band.

  • Comment removed

  • lmao at conclusion

  • if layne is in heaven (and i know he is),you know they got a hell of a band
