  • Alice in Chains are planning to release a new album this year

    I hope it is good as Black Gives way to Blue

  • A lot of their songs can be layne tributes if u think about it

  • Te Amo Hermoso!

  • Just makes your skin ooze off... AiC is a major influence for me, love the range of style they have.

  • Comment removed

  • I wish they would have played this on the unplugged concert. Imagine the emotion.

  • @csmzcs Totally agree 100%....

  • @WereFromTheCure well it was, some of the time when the heavier metal of the 80's was crossed with certain 'poppy' sounds, kurt cobain said thats the sound he wanted to create. but he wasn't the only grunge artists and there are many exceptions, Im just saying it isn't as anti pop as you may think.

  • Fucking so Pissoff i havent seen him perform live huhuhu i miss u my idol!

  • everything AiC is just so mesmerizing. just draws you in in ways . makes the world seem to slow down for me

  • this song has a very...haunting..quality.

  • So mesmerizing... They should have done this for Unplugged instead of Angry Chair. I love Angry Chair but it didn't seem like a great acoustic number...

  • great vid i especially loved the random "fuck" from the unplugged performance at the end there haha always been one of my favorite Layne moments.

  • Happy birthday Layne!

  • @7maxo7 :)

  • Back when you could feel the music, not just hear it. 90's were great times =)

  • My god... I just now discovered this song. Chills down my spine the entire song :'(

  • This is utterly magical, like the man himself. Right while the tears flow, the "Fuck" at the end just turns the tears to laughter. Thank you for this :)

  • FUCK!

  • lol i love the "FUCK!" at the end :')

  • he even looks cool when he cries, dam.

  • @WereFromTheCure Hehe, my 3 year old nephew loves AIC. He actually memorized most of layne's part in the songs.

  • +420,000 views

  • One of the best "light" songs from AIC, for me it is as good as Nutshell. Awesome stuff.

  • Behold 2:42. One of the last photos of Layne Staley.

  • Such a wonderful talent taken from us....RIP Layne.....you're much loved.....

  • Such a wonderful talent taken from us....RIP Layne.....you're much loved.....

  • We are blessed to listen to his great talent. I would love to hear him again live today...

  • @takeittothetrack agreed....and how wonderful to have heard this on unplugged!

  • Drugs are a rip off! Bringing us so high leaving us so low.

    1 year methadone free and still feeling shitty.

    R.I.P. brother Layne.

  • RIP Man, 9 years.

  • 1:11 awesome pic.. i just adore him..

    i love how he sings..

  • At 3:33 was Layne Wearing a Nirvana shirt?

  • R.I.P. Mike star and layne Stanley 2 of the three greatest grunge artist that ever exstied in our time

  • @decool78 who was the third...just wondering cause i know a few who would possibly fit for 3rd

  • @mrguitarman151 kurt cobain

  • @mrguitarman151 Cornell is the best in my opinion. I say that even as a staley fanatic

  • @iknowmyus3rnamesucks cornell is awesome. hes one of my favorite vocalists

  • @iknowmyus3rnamesucks on record, maybe..but as a frontman, layne had him beat completely.

  • picture of layne a box tampax tampons? wtf lmao

  • love it miss you Layne

    Chris

  • this man owns music. he was the greatest performer ever. R.I.P. you will always be loved

  • this is one of the best tributes ive seen.. i miss you lane..God rest your soul!

  • now you have the pace that you haven't in heart.See you lane

  • I'v seen that skin tone on myself after a couple month of straight up shootin' up. Layne understood why. Because he knew that cold empty place too well that we go. It kills you when you have it and you mourn whenyour without it.

  • Great tribute. What a voice. R.I.P.

  • Speaking of dumb....what's a duter? And yea---everyone here needs to grow up and seek sympathy for something beside your ignorance and want. LOL----Fe-Fi-Fo-Fuck you

  • @webbtastic100 Awwww, did I hurt your wittow feewings? A single tear rolls down my cheek. You pathetic, angry, sorry ass little sack of shit. Block me off your channel, fucking wuss. This douche is running his mouth and cant even spell at a third grade level. Like I give a fuck what you have to say, you Celene Dion Peter Bjork loving fairy. Its asswipes like you that ruin youtube for everyone else. Do the world a favor and paint your wall with your brains. LOSER (with one O dumbshit!)

  • @webbtastic100 BTw did it ever occur to you maybe people here just relate to his music? I mean, since you like Celene Dion probably not. You just come in here and throw your abusive opinion at someone who is expressing how they feel about something or someone, as if anyone here cares about your poorly educated trailer park ass. God I hate idiots like you. YOU ARE A FUCKING GRADE A LOSER just don't waste my time, I don't get into battles of wits with unarmed opponents.

  • @BigNick419andholding Chill out. He didn't say anything that should make you feel he's uneducated at all, and all of the spelling in his post was fine.

  • crazy irony. cobain passed 4.5.94, layne 4.5.02 mike mccready was born 4.5.66  great song

  • @templedown Not to mention how many great musicians died at the age of 27.....

  • @templedown Do you know what Irony is?

  • And divinereference....you can't stop crying? WHY? Why would YOU be crying about this song? PLEASE!!! Some of you people need real friends or girlfriends or your parents to pay more attention to you so that your not sitting around poseing like a bunch of freak wanna be...........just forget it you loosers---lol you people are just......

  • @webbtastic100 Fe Fi Fo Fum, I smell a troll...god your dumb! Fuck dude, you spell worse than my 8 year old dughter! Hahahahahaha loser has one O dumbass! Dont come here and disrespect Layne's fans just because your mommy threw out your Lady Gaga cd, I know you're pissed, dosent mean you need to take it out on Layne's fans, ass.

  • To Nothingizm----you are ignorant. Smoke weed and eat mushrooms and take LSD so you can write good songs? Man you are just ridiculously stupid!!! Do you think artist just sit around ingesting that crap to capture good song lyrics? How stupid can you possibly be? I'm just in awe at how ridiculous you look! Please dont respond to videos anymore on you tube----your ignorance just ruins it for everyone else---shouldnt you be at school right now anyway?

  • @coopersgrl Ya know, I've always been afraid to say that I felt like I've always known Layne through his music. It's true. Didn't want to seem like one of the weirdos. But, he did have a way of grabbing one's soul. If I'm a creeper for it, I don't care. I feel like I belong to millions of others who have always felt that connection too

  • @gmmakesmehurl Dude I agree 100%. I always felt that way myself. RIP Layne!

  • Wow....4:36...real faint hum by Layne. Barely audible, but haunting

  • is that shannon hoon at 1:09 ?

  • @77cabral77

    Yes, it is Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon

  • i love AIC so much because i can literally identify myself with every last line of every last song. i listen to them everyday, because its the deepest, most genuine and true music i've ever heard. R.I.P. layne, its sad to see such amazing talent vanish the way it did.

  • Really fucking awesome job on this video!!!!

  • Its true that drugs have robbed the world of so many greats. I include drink in that category as well. The thing is though, do we blame knives for murder? Everyone has responsibility for what they ingest, but I suppose the saddest fact is that so many creative souls are also vulnerable to these life-threatening addictions. Layne is up there with the best.

  • Awesome tribute! I love how you added the comments from the MTV Unplugged where Layne starts the song off Sludge Factory on like the third line and yells FUCK! I feel like I knew him too, through his lyrics I think we all do. He had a way with words like nobody else.

  • great video ! well done :) i really like the "whats my motivation' clip in the beginning

  • I think words can't express his loss Where ever you are Layne rest in peace & know you are missed

  • I love this tribute!

  • fucking amazing and talented singer. i hope youre allgood in your grave! chillin!

  • @HEAVYfukkinMETAL I got to say man, i loved your comment, so true i became a alice in chains man after he was dead but after i started listening i never stopped and never will. its funny, he was dead when he became my hero, band like alice in chains NIN and Nirvana are what got me into music and its always reading comments like your man rock on

  • RIP Mr. Layne Staley....you were something else man........

  • I'd say guys like Andrew Wood, Shannon Hoon, Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley and countless others are ALL people of contradictions, extremes and doubts but with overwhelming passion for the things they really LOVE, which they want to share.

    Elective Outcasts, Introverted Extroverts, Narcisstic Nihilists!

    but, i'd say the defining factor is just how incredibly EMPATHIC they are.

    I think Nick Cave summed it up with "STARS HAVE THEIR MOMENT, THEN THEY DIE"

    ;-)

  • @chilipepper6141 like the clash said. death is a star.

  • To all of you kids reading this, if you HAVE get high, stick with weed and spiritual drugs like lsd, peyote, mushrooms, dmt, and who knows, it might end up helping you write better lyrics than Layne. Good luck trying to sing like him though. haha

  • Telent and stardom, a doubled edge sword, addicted to drugs a habbit out of control but he had his singing how great to have sung through life. An important part of his life he shared. Now I'm addicted.

  • WOW! that was so beautifully done. thank you. I can't stop crying! we love you layne!!!

  • love the song, LOVE the band, just a thought, are some of these musicians great, because they're drug addicts, and vise versa, i dont mean to say that layne was great because he was an addict, but rather what made him great was also the thing that attracted him to drugs. or do you think it is much simplier than that?? like maybe stardom and fame and money when you're young just lead down that path??, i dunno, but what a waiste, i'm so interested in where he would have gone musically...shame!!

  • Layne forever!!

  • amazing

  • @HEAVYfukkinMETAL I feel the same...

  • Been There

  • There is no right way to use heroin. Fuck drugs like that and the scumbags who push that shit to the states. Leave it in Afghanistan where it belongs.

  • thanks never heard this one, true Layne top form!!!

    Hey who sings back round ?

  • @skyehoyt1971 - on the liner notes to SAP it gives Ann Wilson credit as singing background vocals

  • @msslix66 Trip!! Awesome jam! Mama's papa's baby's daughter, nice.

  • @skyehoyt1971 Ann Wilson from Heart I believe

  • I love his voice:) LOVE YA

  • I read an awesome story about Layne from a guy who interviewed him and hung out with him. It talks about not his addiction but the bright side of layne. it talks about how he maxed out his first credit car at a toy store and many other things that are just really cool. and all the art that he did aside from Alice In Chains. for example he made the album cover of mad season above album. my fav aic song.

  • @meshuggah6pantera Do you have this article?

  • @HEAVYfukkinMETAL

    One of the best comments I've ever read on YouTube!

  • Layne was a very talented soul that left us too soon. He will always been remembered for the music he gave us while he was on this earth. The guy bled talent. It is amazing that you can listen to this music and feel like you really knew the man. As reclusive and sick he was in his last days. He still pulled it all together to record two songs for Music Bank.When Layne died in 2002 we lost a true icon.

  • Sap is one of the best all american recordings around.Sure miss ya Layne-thanx for creating a masterpiece for those of us to escape ,when we need to.May you RIP.

  • its such a shame so many great rock grunge and metal artist have died from mis-use of drugs. love the pic of layne as a south park carather aswell, shame i cant spell, lol

  • There is a spell this mutherfucker puts on me... unreal man, Layne.

  • @slamminsammy74 He puts a many of us under a spell with his voice!

  • Great pics. Layne was so beautiful

  • i think people like miley cyrus heard layne staley sing, and decided that because he had so much talent, and noone will ever compare, they havent even tried to go up against him. in a way, layne is so awesome that he is responsible for ruining music

  • thank you layne staley for your angelic voice. in a sea of disposable music and subpar performers u were a beacon of light and your emotion and honesty in your voice changed music forever. u r missed but never forgotton. rock on bro. rip

  • this is beautiful dude! i actually shed a tear

  • Wow the memories this video tribute brings back are haunting in ways but they do stir the soul. A true loss and a true gift, a treasure that can be held in the form of sounds saved for eternity.

  • beautiful rantings, yes indeed.

  • Layne hated the media and journalists, but I have to thank him for all the amazing photographs over the years!

    AWESOME TRIBUTE TO A TRUE MUSICAN AND AMAZING PERSON!

  • Very well done. Whatta loss, MIssed.

    My dad's name was Fayne...

  • Absolutely Awesome. Thanks for sharing this......

  • Layne was the baddist ass lead singer of the 90's...no one like him. shame he was so far gone. truley believed he would get his shit together and mount a comeback. just sad

  • the beautiful rantings of a disturbed soul bye my friend

  • awesome...thanx for posting

  • Ever put on eat phones and wonder through the woods listening to this? heavy.

  • @tuchesuavae you know? i did just that, 

  • @tuchesuavae Only all the time. 

  • Drugs suck dude. for lots of reasons, but the one in my head now is because so many good musicians ae gone because of them and what's worse is we're left with so much crap now. I can't even listen to my radio now. i have a ipod and a car charger though so I'm good.

  • @tuchesuavae fag!!.. drugs are bad m k

  • @tuchesuavae drugs squeeze every inch of life out of you... on a long enough time line the survival rate of everyone drops to zero. Potentials.

  • @tuchesuavae Drugs are not cool, man. I've lost everything in my life beign a fuckin alcoholic. Recently I've stopped doing that shit, but for all the years hurting myself scars will hunt me forever. For me, Alice In Chains is something sacred that I can feel identified to. Jerry, Layne, Sean, Mike (both) and William... thank you for your music.

  • @tuchesuavae Music "sucks" now because the current wave of "artists" are all clean. It's Science.

  • @ligerwoods85 Dude what are you talking about the new wave is clean? not at all many many are NOT clean. And it isn't the the drugs that make a rtist clean it's talent and ability. Most of the new wave sucks be cause they lack the talent and have a label and team to make theam seem cool to the sheepeople and they love it.

  • I love AIC and STP

  • I've seen too many friends die from drugs, especially heroin. I fucking HATE it. Thing is, once you realise your hooked & far from gone, it's too late.

  • @maccermacnab it's almost never too late you just have to have the will to break it's hold. which it extremely hard.

  • Its either you live or you die. Period.

  • There was a band formed of girls wich tried to play like AIC girls claimed they were inspired by AIC and only AIC. The name of a band was DREYM or something like this. Cant find anything on them help anyone???

  • Alice In Chains = Best Rock Band!!!!

  • Comment removed
