I used to think this song was about some super badass, battle-scarred chicken that would scare off anyone who tried to make him into dinner. Then I found out it was about Vietnam and felt like a retard.
They Rocked the hell out of their crowds! Damn, mere words can't even come close to describing the feeling you got when seeing these guys in person. Man, LONG LIVE ROCK!! MARIA
I was thinking about joining the marines right out of high school but decided to go to school instead, thinking I could go back when I was older. then I got diagnosed with something that means I'll never get to go. I wish I had joined right out of high school. I would have gone into iraq with my neighbor who did the same thing.
i like the un plugged as well maybe better..hard to tell 4 a true fan.........& yes it is his father but thats old news.......so make ur own way thru this world try to help 1 another ..not bull shit over blogs.. & he said she said ...ROCK ONnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Hey shameless plug I know- I play in a new British band, Sweet Ether. We get told we sound very chains-influenced so if you like this and you have a couple of minutes, please give us a listen! On facebook /sweetether Booking a european tour for next summer, need all the interest we can get! Thanks for your time :D
To me AIC isn't even grunge. They might have came from it, but they became what they were and will always be: Unbelievable, severely underrated artists that might just be the best thing the '90s produced musically.
This song reminds me of a good friend ,well I was 14 he was 19 did2 tours in nam he wouldn't hardly eat smoked pot and drank vodka,We would steat good steaks from the steore and cook them up for him ,he never liked taking about what he saw or done ,he had good pot lrt me tell ya.Poor bastard wouldn't go to the doctor we think agent orange goyt him,ole brother Bm Ferguson we called him brother B,hell of a man God bless his soulwhen I here this song he reinds me of life!
Everyone SHUT UP! Honestly it doesn't matter what you think of america or rock music or anything. If you don't like this song, go to the next video, if you do, sit back amd enjoy. It's a bute ;)
I'm going to get a Jeep, dub it "The Rooster", and then whenever anybody sees me coming they'll have no choice but to say "Aww, here comes the Rooster." The perfect crime.
I'm from fucking America ya dumb shit. And you can't tell me you don't get tired of people Shitting on eachother. And if you've got a problem with me, then come to Connecticut, and I'll fuck yer shit up
By accident I got my Jeep stuck in a nuclear apocalypse. Luckily, I was able to fix it up again and when it started this song started playing. Whole day was totally worth it just because of that.
@NarkoHunt how do you get a jeep stuck in a nuclear apocalypse by accident? I know I might sound like a bit of a dick, but that just whole thing sounds ridiculous except for the part where you said that this song made your day. This song is good enough to make anyone's day, but then again so are a lot of A.I.C. songs (and songs from other alternative groups, too).
They are angry that BIRD BIRD BIRD is the word, even when the COCK CROWS 3 TIMES, and suddenly something flies past their windows, and it TAKES OFF back to its CREATOR, ALIVE! "EYE" 5
The idea that America is the greatest country in the world is a myth, one that is perpetuated by the one sided history books kids have to (or are supposed to) read in high school. I think if we were more accepting of different ideas, we might be able to, one day, regain the respect of the world, but... most of the world thinks pretty lowly of America
Listening to the radio in class, this song comes on. Some chick has the nerve to get up and start fiddling with the tuner. Me: YOU DO NOT FUCK WITH ALICE IN CHAINS. *turns back*
@ZuIVI13z yeah it is cantrell's father was in the 101st airborne division screaming eagles. the North Vietnamese did not have a word to describe the eagle patches on the soldier's shoulders so they dubbed them "roosters", the entire song is about Vietnam. do your research
