at 2:55 someone was rocking hard enough for LAYNE to point them out. For one single moment in that persons boring stupud little life they got to make a connection with the ultimate rock god front man. I would have creamed in my panties and died a peaceful death.
glad to see that there are still fans of AIC out there. i didnt start listening to them until i was about 15 so... 11yrs ago but within the time ive listened to thier music ive began to "worship" band. literally
nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, and alice in chains have all got that GRUNGE sound. Jerry is the grungiest of the grungy grunge rockers. It's like all four of those bands went to some special school of grunge and were given matching grunge phd's. GRUNGE FOREVER!!!!
Call me a blasphemer but Nirvana and Pearl Jam can only kneel before AiC and pay homage to the best band of the era. Layne was the best voice of his generation... wrong, he was THE voice of entire generation of young men consumed by "modern" society, and Jerry Cantrell is one of the most talented people that ever emerged in the era of modern music. The older I get the better they sound to me. In time, they'll be timeless.
@ScienceFecality I am a much bigger fan of AIC than nirvana but you kidding yourself to pretend layne was more a voice of the generation that kurt. and dave grhol is more talented that jerry soooo. your dumb
@ScienceFecality theres a video on yt where eddie vedder pay tribute to layne (when he was still alive) so i think they both (eddie nd chris) do realize that they could never even come close to layne (no hate i do like pj, nirvana nd soundgarden but believe alice in chain is so superior towards them)
Completely agree. Of course, opinions are like assholes - everyone has got one, but I when I listen to Alice in Chains it seems to me that there's something more than music on their albums, like some kind of invisible force that I just don't feel while listening to Pearl Jam and Nirvana. Don't get me wrong, I love the entire Seattle scene, but AiC was, for my part, always one step above them. Maybe I'm just full of shit, but I simply find them out of this world.
@ScienceFecality AIC is awesome band but saying Nirvana and PJ kneel down before AIC is just wrong. they all sound different and have their own sound. just enjoy the good music lets not compare these epic bands. peace
@superdude13666 are you serious, soundgarden is the most boring band i have even known, sure they had couple of nice tunes but geez the rests are just plain useless..aic beats the shit out of any seattle bands..we die young alone puts soundgarden to garbage can haha
@superdude13666 agree soungarden is good but they dont even come close to aic nd come on man chris cornell could clean layne staleys shoes lol ( no hate thou i think chris got a really good voice too)
Wow, just finally bought Facelift, after buying it at a Slackers for 4 bucks. Now all I need is SAP. I never listened to anything off this really cept Man in the box and We Die Young. I LOVE this whole album, but my favorites so far gotta be Sunshine or I Know Somethin... Long live AIC!
This is one of my favorite AIC songs, and love this live version as well as the music videos that went with it. My 13 year old son is learning guitar and wants to learn drums, and AIC and other good rock bands of 60s, 70s, (not so much 80s, but the pop music then was cool if you like keyboards), and 90s will be what we practice with (I play keyboards and rhythm guitar). Oh, yea, they were all great looking guys, Mike Starr was one of the best-looking men ever, I'm still sad, RIP Mike & Layne.
@myPAINisSELFchosen85 I was pretty sure thats what you meant man, just playin around, should add me man, both love aic, can't find many people these days with good taste in music.

@Camaromandave98 I can't see anything on you're page bro, but maybe you can on mine, look near the bottom to the left and you should see subscribe and add friend, just go to add friend.
I'm so glad this band was around when I was a teen, their music helped me through alot of shit back then! Still my favourite band to this day and much respect to Jerry & co. for bringing AIC back to life!!! RIP Layne & Mike.
Holy fuck!!! This may be the VERY best live performance of AIC... EVER!!! Layne was still so fucking strong, before his demons started winning the battles, Jerry was fucking aggressive as hell.... Wow! Just, wow.
That vid is flat-out Gold. AIC in their VERY prime.
the problem with the "rock" music scene these day as fucked up as it is to say is the lack of drugs and struggle... through great pain and suffering comes some of the most amazing beautiful art and alice in chains is a perfect example of that and if you look at other bands from that error yu can feel what they are feeling though there music, but these days its fuckin generic and i personly cant distingish one band from another in most cases
This song is a grossly underplayed and underrated masterpiece. It reminds me of the more artistic Led Zep stuff rat-bastard DJs and record execs wouldn't give the airplay it deserved because the older, louder, shallower stuff draws more "attention". Lyrically and musically this song has a power few other pieces of music can match.
I saw Lane and A.I.C. in their prime back in Seattle not long after this was filmed. They were, and still are truly untouchable. This is just shear, raw talent that no one can even come close too.
OMG--I am 50 years old and never really like this type music, but my God how tight they were at this show and the voice is just amazing! Too bad drugs kill talent!
@spenjax1111 I grew up in the 80s, and you have no idea when the 90s hit how good it felt to experience such a break from such a cookie cutter decade as the 80s. Don't get me wrong it had its great music too but like I said society was especially "cookie cutter" and it was VERY FAKE back then and rock or anything related to it was "out", with exception to bands like Bon Jovi.
@keyofdavid888 I agree with u I was born in 1981 so iam blessed to have expeirenced both decades the 80s and 90s and the generation that was born from 1992 on foward dont know the decade they missed, the best music came from the 90s its was so pure both Rock and Hip Hop was at its purest form in the 90s now everything is bubblegum pop Justin Bieber would not sell one unit if he came out in the 90s.
@JadaBlaze01 hell yeah man,me too.I fucking miss the 90's best time in my life.The music was bad ass and I was young enough that I didn't have to give a shit about anything lol
@JadaBlaze01 justin bieber would not sell anything? You forgot about all those boybands and stuff... 90s were good and bad. like today. Always good music and bad music. Don't listen t the fuc.kin radio
@spenjax1111 we missed out on somewhat of a miserable generation this buetiful music is from suffering deep down and deppression but the music was something you wont find anymore.
@dubified89 where do you get these ideas from. These guys were from Seattle. It rains 300 days a year. That's where the mood of the music comes from. Have you ever heard the term "in the dip without the chip'? Because that's what you all are trying to speak on a generation you are clearly clueless about.
@spenjax1111 - I'm from that generation, saw AIC in Seatle- For high school grad trip and it was AMAZING!! I love Layne forever as sexy as he looks.... That was a badass time of my life
sometimes i forget that these guys are as good at playing music as pro athletes are at sports. not every 1 can sing like staley or play the guitar like cantrell, no matter how much they practice.
it seems like any 1 can make music now with auto tune and all that other stuff, you know?
@20p65s the rock in roll hall of fame is a joke,bands like deep purple and alice cooper arent in there but ll cool j is. theyre a disgrace and i dont know if i want AIC to be included in such a lame insitution. but yes,they certainly belong there. bands are eligible 25 years after their first album so we'll see
@bloodstainedcrown You're so right!! His voice is like no other, and the harmonies they do are incredible! I can't believe it took me this long to really look into this band!! What a jewel!!
What I LOVE about this band is that you listen to the song recorded in the studio, then you listen to the song performed live, and it's not the same, the live version is actually better. wow
@DARRINCONNOR1 Not all bands did that. For example, I'm a also fan of Guns N' Roses, but very few of their concerts are good. And except for playing so well they also had that endless energy, it's great :) .
@ba773r1na Yeah I agree not a big GnR fan.But the classic MTV conceret with Steven Adler ,I think it was filmed at the Ritz (i could be mistaken) is awesome.Adler really flowed good With Duff,Slash,Izzy.And then Matt Sorum came into the picture and they lost that great in the pocket backbeat.
@DARRINCONNOR1 Guns N' Roses were awesome in Ritz.. I belive in a band with a great chemistry like GN'R or AIC, if one member leaves the band, it's not like it used to be, even if that member was the drummer. It's like what happened in AIC with Mike Starr. He might be 'just a bassist', but he gave the band something that no one else could and I don't say it because he's dead.
@ba773r1na Yeah I couldnt say it any better.What are your thoughts on Robert Duvall.I half to say I really think its a disgrace.Zeppelin never reformed without "Bonzo" and I think Layne was as special as Bonham.so AIC SHOULD NOT HAVE RE-UNITED,I dont care about how broke thet were or whatever the reason.AIC died when Layne died.And I think all the time in my head who would be good enough to fill Laynes shoes,I cant come up with any1, that even comes close.
@DARRINCONNOR1 Layne Staley is irreplacable. FACT. I like DuVall, generally, as a singer, but not as a replacer for Staley. On the onther hand, Cantrell is still very young and a great musician and he should stay active.And Alice In Chains is just a name, even if the band was named AIC or not, the members would be the same, then again it's a whole different band, it's not Alice. New AIC is a good band, but NOTHING like the original four members. That wasn't a band, that was a phenomenon.
@ba773r1na Yeah I agree.You always hear bands say"Well he wooda wanted us to carry on" but like u said AIC died when Layne died.They definitely shooda not used the AIC name. Without Layne in the band they lost 25% or more of there creativity and sound.Its such a sad story.Laynes sense of humor and personality is wat made him who he is (and his voice) We cood go on and on about this debate.Cantrell is a genius and one of my top 10 fav guitarists.But its not the same. RIP Layne
@DARRINCONNOR1 Layne was incredible. Jerry is incredible too, but in his own way. Layne had that huge voice, I haven't heard anyone sing like that, this sweet and cool attitude and wrote very powerful lyrics. Jerry is an awesome guitarist, a very very talented songwriter, with a nice, sweet voice. They need eachother to be complete.. And with Sean Kinney and Mike Starr they were just perfect.
@ba773r1na I kinda liked "Mad Season" way more than Jerrys solo stuff. And there voices 2gether DEFINITELY complimented each other. We will never see another band like AIC. I mean Elvis in the 50s, Stones in the 60s Zeppelin 70s, Metallica 80s, AIC 90s, 2000??? Tool?? And in 2010 I cant think of any 1. There are a couple decent bands, but I cant think of any grounbreaking music in the last 10 yrs. I think Grunge or 90s music gets a bad rap.It was such a creative decade.
@DARRINCONNOR1 I like Mad Season too. Well, whatever Layne sang, even if it was a stupid song, it would be great just because of his voice. Jerry, on the other hand, even if he sang the greatest song ever, his voice wouldn't be strong enough. I like some of his songs though, especially 'Satisfy'. The decade of 2000 had absolutely nothing. Let's hope for the decade of 2010 to be different. To me Grunge was the best music. Original, real music, no posing. Just amazing. And AIC was the best of it.
@ba773r1na Yeah totally agree.Your rite.Just imagine the songs we would now no, and love if he was still alive.It really is a tragedy.And his lyrics,like alot of other people I can totally relate to his feelings of pain and depression.I was welcomed into the miserable world of Heroin in the early 90s. So I could always feel his agony.I wood be dead 10 times over if I wouldve had the money Layne had.The "Facelift" VHS concert is really awesome,have u ever watched it?
@DARRINCONNOR1 You're so lucky to be witnessing all those great stuff when they were happening, I didn't even exist in the early 90's.. But about that heroin thing, are you OK?
Layne's lyrics were freaking awesome, my favorite ones are in 'Love,Hate,Love', and in Facelift they did an amazing job. I think I have watched parts of that concert. You mean the one in Seattle in 1990, right? They were unbelievable, especially some songs like 'Bleed The Freak' were just magical.
@ba773r1na Yes I was one of the lucky ones, finally cleaned up in 2008.I have 4 year old daughter that changed my life.Yeah the concert in Seattle,the Love Hate Love version is why I love AIC.I still get the chills when I listen, and watch Layne pour out his heart when singing that song."I want to peal the skin from your face,before the real you lays to waste" Im going thru a very hard breakup with my X old lady (12 yrs 2gether) and AIC is always there 4 me.There music really helps me
@DARRINCONNOR1 Honestly,I'm so happy for you cleaning up and having your daughter. It's sad how drugs can ruin a person's life.I guess it's hard to breakup from a relationship this long, I hope everything is fine at the end. Love Hate Love is my favorite song by AIC and the way he sang that was just unbelievable,so much emotion!
I think music is there when everyone else is gone.Being at the age of 16, listening to such amazing songs makes me hope to live things and have this music as a company.
@ba773r1na You have incredible insight for a 16 year old.What other bands or music do you listen too? Im sure you no this allready but PLEASE dont waste your time or life getting involved with drugs, or even partying too much.I hope your doing good in school.Keep that positive attitude you have.I hope im not coming off as preeching to you.
@DARRINCONNOR1 Not at all and thank you very much for the advice and the nice things you say to me. The first thing my mum taught me was not to get involved with drugs, so I'll never even try it. I also listen a lot to Pink Floyd and many other bands, from 60's Rock N' Roll to 90's Grunge. For the time being I'm not going to school but I will next year. I would like to be a musician, I play bass guitar. Thank you very much for your concern :).
@ba773r1na i was jus thinkin the same for example would is way better live than the video version cuz live u can see nd hear layne's raw talent this man got no competision
@MsJilsephonie Ι agree. I like it for the same reason, because Layne's raw talent, as you said, is just unbeatable. But I also love it because except fot Layne's amazing voice, you can hear the other three guys playing too well for a live show. Great sound, great power, great energy and of course no mistakes.
ALICE IN CHAINS (guitarist/vocalist Jerry Cantrell, quitarist/vocalist William Duvall, drummer Sean Kenney and bassist Mike Inez_ spent 2010 performing a string of sold out heading tours around the world in support of Black Gives Way To Blue.
""Black Gives Way To Blue" entered Billboards Top 200 at No. 5 They maintained momentum with followup song "Your Decision" which also shot straight to No. 1

@keyofdavid888 I agree with u I was born in 1981 so iam blessed to have expeirenced both decades the 80s and 90s and the generation that was born from 1992 on foward dont know the decade they missed, the best music came from the 90s its was so pure both Rock and Hip Hop was at its purest form in the 90s now everything is bubblegum pop Justin Bieber would not sell one unit if he came out in the 90s.

@dubified89 where do you get these ideas from. These guys were from Seattle. It rains 300 days a year. That's where the mood of the music comes from. Have you ever heard the term "in the dip without the chip'? Because that's what you all are trying to speak on a generation you are clearly clueless about.

sometimes i forget that these guys are as good at playing music as pro athletes are at sports. not every 1 can sing like staley or play the guitar like cantrell, no matter how much they practice.
it seems like any 1 can make music now with auto tune and all that other stuff, you know?

@DARRINCONNOR1 Not all bands did that. For example, I'm a also fan of Guns N' Roses, but very few of their concerts are good. And except for playing so well they also had that endless energy, it's great :) .
ba773r1na 1 month ago
@ba773r1na Yeah I agree not a big GnR fan.But the classic MTV conceret with Steven Adler ,I think it was filmed at the Ritz (i could be mistaken) is awesome.Adler really flowed good With Duff,Slash,Izzy.And then Matt Sorum came into the picture and they lost that great in the pocket backbeat.
DARRINCONNOR1 3 weeks ago
@DARRINCONNOR1 Guns N' Roses were awesome in Ritz.. I belive in a band with a great chemistry like GN'R or AIC, if one member leaves the band, it's not like it used to be, even if that member was the drummer. It's like what happened in AIC with Mike Starr. He might be 'just a bassist', but he gave the band something that no one else could and I don't say it because he's dead.
ba773r1na 3 weeks ago
@ba773r1na Yeah I couldnt say it any better.What are your thoughts on Robert Duvall.I half to say I really think its a disgrace.Zeppelin never reformed without "Bonzo" and I think Layne was as special as Bonham.so AIC SHOULD NOT HAVE RE-UNITED,I dont care about how broke thet were or whatever the reason.AIC died when Layne died.And I think all the time in my head who would be good enough to fill Laynes shoes,I cant come up with any1, that even comes close.
DARRINCONNOR1 3 weeks ago
@DARRINCONNOR1 Layne Staley is irreplacable. FACT. I like DuVall, generally, as a singer, but not as a replacer for Staley. On the onther hand, Cantrell is still very young and a great musician and he should stay active.And Alice In Chains is just a name, even if the band was named AIC or not, the members would be the same, then again it's a whole different band, it's not Alice. New AIC is a good band, but NOTHING like the original four members. That wasn't a band, that was a phenomenon.
ba773r1na 3 weeks ago
@ba773r1na Yeah I agree.You always hear bands say"Well he wooda wanted us to carry on" but like u said AIC died when Layne died.They definitely shooda not used the AIC name. Without Layne in the band they lost 25% or more of there creativity and sound.Its such a sad story.Laynes sense of humor and personality is wat made him who he is (and his voice) We cood go on and on about this debate.Cantrell is a genius and one of my top 10 fav guitarists.But its not the same. RIP Layne
DARRINCONNOR1 3 weeks ago
@DARRINCONNOR1 Layne was incredible. Jerry is incredible too, but in his own way. Layne had that huge voice, I haven't heard anyone sing like that, this sweet and cool attitude and wrote very powerful lyrics. Jerry is an awesome guitarist, a very very talented songwriter, with a nice, sweet voice. They need eachother to be complete.. And with Sean Kinney and Mike Starr they were just perfect.
ba773r1na 3 weeks ago
@ba773r1na I kinda liked "Mad Season" way more than Jerrys solo stuff. And there voices 2gether DEFINITELY complimented each other. We will never see another band like AIC. I mean Elvis in the 50s, Stones in the 60s Zeppelin 70s, Metallica 80s, AIC 90s, 2000??? Tool?? And in 2010 I cant think of any 1. There are a couple decent bands, but I cant think of any grounbreaking music in the last 10 yrs. I think Grunge or 90s music gets a bad rap.It was such a creative decade.
DARRINCONNOR1 2 weeks ago
@DARRINCONNOR1 I like Mad Season too. Well, whatever Layne sang, even if it was a stupid song, it would be great just because of his voice. Jerry, on the other hand, even if he sang the greatest song ever, his voice wouldn't be strong enough. I like some of his songs though, especially 'Satisfy'. The decade of 2000 had absolutely nothing. Let's hope for the decade of 2010 to be different. To me Grunge was the best music. Original, real music, no posing. Just amazing. And AIC was the best of it.
ba773r1na 2 weeks ago
@ba773r1na Yeah totally agree.Your rite.Just imagine the songs we would now no, and love if he was still alive.It really is a tragedy.And his lyrics,like alot of other people I can totally relate to his feelings of pain and depression.I was welcomed into the miserable world of Heroin in the early 90s. So I could always feel his agony.I wood be dead 10 times over if I wouldve had the money Layne had.The "Facelift" VHS concert is really awesome,have u ever watched it?
DARRINCONNOR1 2 weeks ago
@DARRINCONNOR1 You're so lucky to be witnessing all those great stuff when they were happening, I didn't even exist in the early 90's.. But about that heroin thing, are you OK?
Layne's lyrics were freaking awesome, my favorite ones are in 'Love,Hate,Love', and in Facelift they did an amazing job. I think I have watched parts of that concert. You mean the one in Seattle in 1990, right? They were unbelievable, especially some songs like 'Bleed The Freak' were just magical.
ba773r1na 2 weeks ago
@ba773r1na Yes I was one of the lucky ones, finally cleaned up in 2008.I have 4 year old daughter that changed my life.Yeah the concert in Seattle,the Love Hate Love version is why I love AIC.I still get the chills when I listen, and watch Layne pour out his heart when singing that song."I want to peal the skin from your face,before the real you lays to waste" Im going thru a very hard breakup with my X old lady (12 yrs 2gether) and AIC is always there 4 me.There music really helps me
DARRINCONNOR1 2 weeks ago
@DARRINCONNOR1 Honestly,I'm so happy for you cleaning up and having your daughter. It's sad how drugs can ruin a person's life.I guess it's hard to breakup from a relationship this long, I hope everything is fine at the end. Love Hate Love is my favorite song by AIC and the way he sang that was just unbelievable,so much emotion!
I think music is there when everyone else is gone.Being at the age of 16, listening to such amazing songs makes me hope to live things and have this music as a company.

@ba773r1na You have incredible insight for a 16 year old.What other bands or music do you listen too?

@DARRINCONNOR1 Not at all and thank you very much for the advice and the nice things you say to me. The first thing my mum taught me was not to get involved with drugs, so I'll never even try it. I also listen a lot to Pink Floyd and many other bands, from 60's Rock N' Roll to 90's Grunge. For the time being I'm not going to school but I will next year. I would like to be a musician, I play bass guitar. Thank you very much for your concern :).

@MsJilsephonie Ι agree. I like it for the same reason, because Layne's raw talent, as you said, is just unbeatable. But I also love it because except fot Layne's amazing voice, you can hear the other three guys playing too well for a live show. Great sound, great power, great energy and of course no mistakes.
