Alice In Chains - Check My Brain (Scala, London UK)

[ninmachine109]

Badass. This place looks TINY for an Alice in Chains concert. In the 90's they would be playing in a sold out arena

[KJBPSkipper]

So I am on this other vid and it is implying the bassist from the band got kicked out,can anybody confirm this?

[leadzhead]

Mike Starr, the original bassist, got kicked out in 93 I believe. He's actually on celebrity rehab on vh1 right now. LOL

[tigerwoodsyall33]

You people are fucking dumb... Afro critique. You guts didn't graduate Hugh school did you? Only girls care about hairdoos ya faggits!

[AliceinChains8593]

This was uploaded on my birthday :)

[andrewjjhamilton1]

Its not Layne - not really any good without him

[MrGossardX]

Why are you watching the video then?

[andrewjjhamilton1]

Just curious I

[sickboy3636]

To see how bad Jerrys butchered the band by the addition of a disco version of Jimi Hendrix. AIC is dark, their following is dark. Not a good fit at all.

[andrewjjhamilton1]

Sorry, keys slipped. Just curious. If you look up "Leave Me Alone," by Jerry, it's on the Cable Guy film, one wonders why Cantrel doesn't take over the mic and use Duvall as rhythem.

[downhome7500]

I love Jerry's solo material & I totally believe he can carry AIC without Duvall. I mean fuck, Jerry's the genius behind most of the writing past & present.

[RoCkWiThMyCoCkOuT69]

is this some kind of a sick joke? i mean.. AIC fans have become accustomed to "butter".. and now they try to serve us "margarine".. sorry.. im not buying it.. AIC 2.0 sucks ass.. it just sounds like bad karaoke to me.. i think a far better approach would have been to find a female vocalist to replace layne.. i mean.. seriously.. a female vocalist would be a great way to keep it fresh and new.. no doubt some old fans would be pissed off.. but lets face it.. the magic died with layne!

[ScreamingPuppet]

Well, that's kinda sad. And ridiculous. A FEMALE singer?!? What are you snorting, and can I have some? It's the same. fucking. music. Honestly. Yeah, he's different, but face it, Layne is gone, and we all get it that Duvall is different. But try to appreciate the music for what it is. It's good music. Don't hate it because it's not the AIC you knew. We've all heard that TOO MUCH. That'd be like me buying a Marshall amp because it's so well-known. Yeah, Layne was the best, but you have to move on

[liabatud67]

Hmmm, maybe the female from the tryouts for the failed band of Tommy Lee (Rock Star: Supernova).

Jill Gioia and Jerry Cantrell... now that's a combination that I'd like to hear. They'd have to work at it.. but the bringing together of the two would and could be another phenom.

[jackmonk666]

Kentucky Bordello you are a fucking idiot!

[747t]

um...last time i checked, conformity and hard rock/metal dont mix. lol.

[747t]

ha....no.

[umopGpisdn]

Last time I checked, music exists to listen to -- not to look at. What a stupid comment.

[skot66]

whatever

[juan89ful]

how about jimmy hendrix and Lenny Kravitz, they have afros and i don't think people care about that. I think that people focus more on their stage presence and their music, then their hair style.

[sludgedozer]

Judging by looks is so fuckin gay!

Afros are welcome in metal: Melvins Hendrix, At the drive in, suffocation, etc.

Only idiot nazi yes men would cut their hair for their image.

[rvolutionpt]

Never heard of Jimi Hendrix before ?

Too bad...

Also, who cares about the looks if the music is good?

[jussts]

I love how atonal the main riff of this song is... and it rocks fucking hard. Good to see AIC is still kicking ass.

[brokensoul70]

I just picked the new album up today on vinyl, it is amazing how the new singer sounds so much like Layne, The new album is fantastic, I would say it has impressed me as much as "Facelift" did when it came out.

[Ryanopuffs]

damn i dont know how he sounds so much like layne, but damnit i love it. They are still rocking the shit out of me.

[madcap1031]

first time i heard this on radio i thought it was a song layne might of done vocals for before he died but i was amazed that it was the new singer bought the cd soon as it came out aic still kicks ass

[dac6969]

so fuckin' bad ass!!!

[wakegrrl]

You mean Staley? C'mon. Learn how to spell words, man.

[AirsoftMarin3]

Duvall does stanley justice atleast, hes doesnt make us want to kill him

[dvicedriver]

No, no name change. DuVall puts enough of Layne's style into it to come of right. Layne wasn't kicked from AIC. He made bad decisions and passed on. Give AIC a chance. I believe as you. Cantrell is the driving force. Don't take it away from him.

[LinoMonJar0]

is that Jimmy Hendrix lolz jk

[BendrFendr]

Luciuswake, in all actuality dude Cantrell is like 75% of everything AIC did. Don't get me wrong AIC is my favorite band and Layne is a God amongst music, but Cantrell wrote damn near every song as well as the lyrics. If anyone be deemed the real driving force I'm gonna put my money on Jerry. That's one reason the new stuff still feels so good and fucked up, is because the talent is still there. But I FIRMLY believe they should've gone with a name change. Just out of respect.

[doctorx5150]

Great song! Imagine if Layne was singing it!

[fabiomab]

Layne is done man.... Get over... Great job.. Congrants to Jerry.

[atlgothchick]

DuVall does a good job at copying & imitating Layne's vocal range and style... Layne will always be number 1 though.

[chupacabralien2999]

Who's the new vocalist??????

[shakenbaken1493]

William DuVall

[yourbore]

layne was/is good

he's dead

get the fuck over it

if his band of closest friends can

you can to

[TheFrenziedGamer]

@yourbore u r a bore!

[lgcmetallica]

@yourbore they havent gotten over it. but they did move on

[luciuswake]

Can't even hear him, but he is ceratinly lucky that Layne provided the mode and voice style to copy. Jerry Cantrell is lucky to have Layne still guiding his music to this very day.

RIP Layne, you are the guiding force still behind this great band.

[bananalimegreen]

That's right!

[imperfectcircle]

That's the thing though. Layne isn't dead. He lives on through the music they make until this day.

[Grendelrex]

Great song. For a second there I thought I was watching Thin Lizzy, DuVall has a similar physical appearance and mannerisms as Lynott.

[thatgracefulledge]

Broken Record music but I like

[thestick169]

Mike Inez kicks ass!!

[InsomniaZombie330]

i heard the song on the radio and he sounds alot like layne. he's pretty fucking good. I'd go see them live!!!

[HG2013]

No shit its not exactly the same. Old news folks move on with things in your life.

[SheIsNobody165]

its not like AiC with Layne [*] ....

[ooPETERo]

I agree 100% my friend

[gamegoof]

Looks like a fun fucking gig man, love these guys

[JayT851]

[FangTehWolf]

[Dethdog666]

[Grazydine]

I concur

[Grazydine]

That guitar riff sounds like it's about to throw up! lol

[danspare]

yeah man! like an ill evil lawn mower!?

[SkorpBX]

they're the founders of grunge, and they're saving grunge.... DuVall sounds great.... Layne is the greatest... long live AIC.... anyone hatng on this bang is an ignorant prick that enjoys bitching

[magnuslee2000]

I wouldint quite say they alone are the founders of grunge, thats a bit unfair to all the other bad ass grunge bands. But they were deffenetly a huge part in it without a doubt! Love me some alice in chains not the same without layne though.. rip layne

[az123teca]

true but at least they are not sellouts and they still sound like they did back in the day but without Layne at least they don't sound like the gay ass bands out nowadays

[laynestaley1990]

well they are pretty much ... i mean they did a lot more than most.. they came out on a major lable record b4 any ANY grunge band

[ringo23rsr]

soundgarden did too

[laynestaley1990]

yeah but no one really knew who they were b4 94 with superunknown.. im just saying alice came out with three singles b4 any1 gave 2 shits about nirvana.. i actually love every "grunge" band except them because they are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aay overrated

[JessedDelAngel]

nosuban videos que no se escuchan bien !!

[bhaallbherith]

OMG!!!!

[anonubis]

Loved that they premièred this in Dublin, feel privileged to be among he first people int he world to hear it, this is gonna be a great album... I HOPE!

[StickFigureMaster]

This is just great. I was hesitant at first with the new guy but this is an awsome song.

[bartlomiej72]

this song is awesome..can't wait for the album

[eendereetje]

can't wait for tomorrow!!!

[mistifais]

too bad the album is on the net for download but you have to pay one euro for it with paypal.

[rhcpfolies]

WTF ? WHERE ?

[MichaelGrah]

the album is on the internet....if by album you mean virus.

[MetalliTooL]

lol, it's hasn't leaked yet.

[MichaelGrah]

your opinion isnt worth a pinch of shit.

[FooledToaster]

Cry some more. Dont buy the album if all music is to you is the frontman.

[imawesome432]

he's improved since he joined

[ooPETERo]

i totaly agree man

[FooledToaster]

As much as I miss the grunge look of the 90's, black t-shirts and jeans could be the new calling card of the grunge revival movement.

I need this album.

[23house23]

fuck you.

[SalandFindles]

Grunge revival! Yeah, that's what we need!

[impavitus]

and these are the best guys to lead a grunge revival

[SalandFindles]

Oh yeah, they're the kings, seeing as how they're mostly all alive and still together as a band.

[TilderyKoadil]

omg.. dude this sounds likes gonna be such an awesome song... can't fuckin wait..

[ciaran3707]

I was there and it rocked. I also saw someone filming the show with a big TV type camera so there must be a decent quality version somewhere.

[BarronBurr]

ha! i dont think jamiroquai is a "related video" to any aic

[gilbertinchains]

i cant wait a month

i just cant

[sideshowww]

they played this a sonisphere ...... f£$ken great song,,, this album is gonna bring that 90s grunge feelin back to the 2009 and beyond!!!!!!!!! AIC FOREVER.

[goldenboy06]

i love it. strangely reminiscent of QOTSA stoner rock sound.

[redsoxrockies]

AMAZING RIFF!!! I just wish the video was better quality, I could barely hear the vocals

[jimboisback14]

that riff a fucking deadly

[soundnchains]

This song has a great flow!!!
