Alice In Chains - Would (Live Jools Holland 1993)

[coonscrib]

This simply shows how good Layne's voice actually was. Totally stripped down and bare, he still sounds absolutely amazing.

[wolf4241991]

Now looking in retrospect, people will often bash the term, and try to re-write history,saying grunge never even existed, and that nivana was punk soundgarden and aic was metal,and pearl jam was garage rock.perhaps is it because the figureheads of the movement either died,or failed to keep it going,or just wernt consistant. regardless,i think its bogus. the truth is however, grunge was real and Aic was at the forefront of the genre.they just like soundgarden were the more metallic side of it.

@wolf4241991 well said man.

[wolf4241991]

Whatever happened to the days when the term grunge was respected and legitimate? Nowadays, it seems customary to say "alice was labeled grunge but wasnt". back then in the early 90's, people could see these seattle bands shared a common sound which crossed heavy metal with punk. This was called grunge. well, the truth is while AIC were metal, they had elements of grunge too whether you like it or not. Try to tell me down in a hole or again doesnt have grunge elements and il just laugh in ur face

[wolf4241991]

R.I.P Layne. you are an inspiration to many, including myself. You're lyrics changed my life.

[CrAzYKiLLa29]

[lubird1028]

I love, love, LOVE Layne Staley!!!!! DELISH!!! R.I.P. Wish I got to see you live. The most amazing unique voice EVER!!!!

[canicky2]

@lubird1028 And your probably 20 lol it never fails...

[Layneismyhero1]

Layne Staley was the best singer and person to come out of the grunge scene

[lilaluft]

@Layneismyhero1 come on, aic were only labelled 'grunge' because they came from seattle...

[alexseroxat]

@Layneismyhero1

im sorry you forget Cobain

The Leader

[Layneismyhero1]

@alexseroxat he could be a dick though layne was nice to his fans but their both awesome

[Chemichael]

How about this: Focus on why AiC has brought you here instead of focusing on Layne's addiction. Really. Everyone focuses on Layne's weakness but they pay no mind to why they are thinking about him in the first place.

If I would COULD YOU?

[muddshovel1]

Best one i've seen so far priceless

[Brutaldeadfaith]

Layne, YOU RULE!

[toadsnmarshmellows]

Greatest band ever.

[harley0098]

R.I.P. Layne Staley

[OkIhaveaThinDICK]

That drum beat is my favorite of all time. I know its really simple and not the fastest or most complicated but it just flows with the song so well. Whenever i get bored i get that song in my head and tap out the beat with my foot.

[zioperno]

Layne was great artist and he used to wear very nice sunglasses, anybody know the brand?

[treyofour]

dolce and gabbana

[zioperno]

Why people puts thumb down on my comment!? I wasn't ironic about sunglasses i really love Alice in chains this is definitely my favorite and one of best song ever written! I can't understand! Maybe you mean i'm superficial only cause i like Layne style? in this case i'm sorry, i never wanted to disrespect him or the band

[JasonVoorhees83]

easy easy :-D you know how people are on youtube, many just to complain or get into fights behind the safety of their computer screen :-) layne was cool with the glasses for sure and this song just epic. so smooth and heavy at the same time

[etheoreal]

wow the difference from layne's demeanor from this to the unplugged performance is jarring

[kingtoddy]

totally awesome! :)

[eclecto]

this is why we fuking miss staley!

[iluvfenderbass]

I love watchin layne before he got strung out on the junk. He had such a rock and fuckin roll attitude. We'll see you again someday, though.

[SalandFindles]

He was strung out on heroin from 1990 onwards, though. It just didn't majorly start showing until sometime in 1993.

[mosyo]

staley is even looks healty :)

[przdaffy20]

[noerhakeem]

I miss u, Layne.. New vocalist is good, but he better play in hip-hop band.

[eviltwin13666]

Geat Vid. And it looks like rare on. RIP Layne

[Nem33]
