I love both AIC and Nirvana. Personally. I like Nirvana better, But no matter what, you can not deny Layne is one of the most amazing singers ever. Just listen to it, its so pure and strong. I love Kurt voice because its raspy and sounds awesome, but his voice wasn't as pure and original as Laynes.. But still, two of the best musicians ever. R.I.P.
MTV, ¿qué te hemos hecho los de mi generación? ¿por qué no puedes seguir poniendo grupos como este? ¿por qué ahora pones jersey shore y cosas así? Vuelve a poner Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in chains, etc... Por favor. Atentamente, alguien nacida en el 96.
when i was in Canada (Mtl), AIC were supposed to make a concert, obvioulsy not with the vocalist who is resting in peace but i have not had the chance to go and see´em playing alive, my mistake, they´re such a Fucking Great Band.
@keeperoftheforest But is it good? I sure think it is. Easy to play? Sure it is. But it gives me chills through a good acoustic bass when my band plays it. That's all I meant. no offense meant man.
@poopmuncherz I play guitar, and I'm actually not bad at all. Complexity isn't the key with a good bass riff imo, it's the way it affects, or in this case, drives the song. This bass riff, as simple as it may be to play(I'll agree that it is), is iconic, and quickly recognized. Do you disagree?
i love music i listen to tons of music for hours every day from black sabbath, led zeppelin to nowdays music nd i have to say nobody ever touch me with hes voice nd lyrics like layne did this man is so underrated
@MsJilsephonie millions feel the same, I used to sing AIC songs to my unborn daughter in her moms tummy, now they are one of her favorite bands at the age of 17, timeless music that actually means something!
Thank you to all who comment because they still love and miss Layne. My 6 year old daughter knows this song by heart. And if I am lucky enough to have a son, my husband and I will name him Layne.
Alice in Chains will always be one of the greatest....favorite song WOULD? just speaks to my heart. miss Layne greatly....seen them play at Rock on the Range with the new singer. and i don't know i hate to see it just isn't the same...just like Nirvana died with Kurt's passing, to me so did ALice in Chains die with Layne's passing
@CultofStatic211 AiC will always be Jerry. If you ask me he can replace Mike and Sean with new people and it would still be AiC to me. In fact, when Jerry went on tour with Comes With The Fall opening and then being the Jerry Cantrell band, to me that was still AiC. JERRY is AiC.
@ComaAlpha I think alice in chains lost a very important element with Layne passing. Jerry is talented himself no doubt, but it was him, Layne, and the rest of the band together that made AIC imo.
Im so sick of seeing people type of he was probably wasted or he was drunk. I watch NIrvana videos Hendrix videos and they say oh he was probably fucked up. I guarantee that they arent thats jus how they r n stop listening to the media people. Ya they did there own drug thing but I guarantte layne is not fucked up in this perfromance
@bettermangdl When somebody is fully addicted to a drug. Their body genuinely has a NEED for the drug. It's not really mental need anymore, it's a physical need. When this happens, you can't easily just say "Okay, I'll stop." It takes time, work, motivation, and pain. During the process of sobering up, the body literally craves the drug. And since you aren't taking it, you will get very very sick. So no, it's not really a choice. More like a goal.
@mtnlogistics Jerry wrote this song about his friend who died from a herion overdose. I cant remember who its about tho. All I remember is it was a lead singer of some band
i wish him, Kurt, Andrew, new how loved they were and they just needed to reach out a hand we would have all pulled them out..heartaches miss them all
@Littlejohn48 He was doing his best buddy, Staley was very sick man at this time, and even though he wasnt at his best, his pain made the song sound even better.
listen to that bass ,love these guys heroin is poison, in all these all there music they are fighting the system when you keep seeing war and misery you need something to take you away we are out of sync with the natural balance of life opium is some peoples only form of pain relief it is all controlled.Sport is the best thing have a sporting edge on life and yeah team sport is a beautifull thing !! jx
You know jerry lost a true friend it took him over 10 years to come out with another Alice in Chains album...still not the same without Layne. He was the voice of the band.
