Alice in Chains - When the Sun Rose Again

[AeonPhoenixZero]

Great song. Has a native-American vibe to it. To Megadockxw71...Tupac and Layne were BOTH awesome. They were poets of two different struggles. Tupac spoke of injustice and inequality, and simply how just BEING a black man in America is screamingly difficult, and dangerous to your health. The outward struggle of trying to make your way in a country that tends to make it hard simply for being a few shades darker than those in power. As a black man, I can't help BUT relate.

[AeonPhoenixZero]

@AeonPhoenixZero Layne, on the other hand, AIC spoke of the pain and struggle in one's self, and the fight to keep your sanity and soul. That inner turmoil that ANYONE of ANY race can relate to. The one where it feels like the world keeps trying to shove down your throat that everything is fine, BUT YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THAT IT AIN'T!! Bands like AIC at the least, by their music would tell you "It's OK brother. You ain't crazy. Just keep fighting, brother.

[AeonPhoenixZero]

@AeonPhoenixZero And by that, I have nothing BUT love and respect for those two. Being able to express REAL emotion, not that emo-hipster crap, but real pain, joy, sorrow, and love...Powerful, profound music can come as easily from the scratch of a vinyl album as it can from the strum of a guitar. Don't be so quick to dismiss one or the other. That's all I'm saying. Thanks for listening.

[bubblous2ujack]

Man, great album. 20 years old the first time I heard Alice. 40 now. Yes, Layne is missed but this album is still AIC, very moody and complex. People say Nirvana launched the grunge movement, I have to disagree. Nothing hooked me like these guys. Own all their albums, Love every song on every album, period. Alice in Chains are to the music industry what Edgar Allen Poe is to poetry. Good job Jerry, keep them comming.

[runthemachine]

Wow... is there a 'bad' song on this disc???

Man... there's representation of every 'phase' of AICs music, from Facelift to Jar Of Flies.

Truly amazing. So much beautiful music on this disc... that would mean so much to Layne.

Rest easy, Layne Staley. You're missed... and your music lives on, eternally.

[ilikestrains451]

its snowing, its morning, fiancee and i made up, perfect song for a best day <3

[dillon123met]

i totally here lanye too in parts

[Jmsn72]

Remember listening to this high as a kite and tripping. Freakin amazing as hell and perfect for the trip.

[AnthemsToTheWelkin]

Maybe some vocals on the old material that you thought was Layne was actually Jerry...

[mac1990nose]

A Nickelback advert? Fuck you Youtube.

@theuncanspan

"And why worry about a speck in your friend's eye when you have a log in your own?"

[theuncanspan]

aaaaaaaah so the aic main died and was replaced by a new guy yea thats why i felt something was not right

[questscience1]

@theuncanspan he music is beautiful,

the old AIC, and new. It is selfish to let

beauty go without sharing. This is why

we are here to love, love the world, share

your talents, dude. These are some talented

dudes. Shine your light, bro. Shine your light.

Layne shined his so very bright. But, now he

is gone. RIP.

[theuncanspan]

@questscience1 man your english is sooooooooooo soooo sooo sooo BROKEN do soooomethiiiiiiiiiiin

[fredgiovani]

Nice guitar solo.

[boredpcguy]

I almost pissed myself laughing at these comments... Only on YouTube can you find a 2 year-old debate of Layne Staley vs. Tupac. It's like going to a Super Walmart or equivalent, buying a headlight and an orange, setting them side by side on the kitchen table, and discussing how one is better/more important than the other. For 2 years. I love this site.

[ConspiracyDwells]

@boredpcguy Haha best comment on yt so far

[lightyagami351]

William DuVall will never replace Layne Staley but I agree with Scummy516 when he says that they couldn't have picked someone better to revitalize AiC. I look forward to listening to more material by AiC. Can't believe they still sound as close to their original lineup as they do.

[Stickgoncraz]

I love this song so fucking much ♥ It will always be amazing :)

[nikolokendo]

love william duvall voice :)

[ThEmB0nEz]

AIC Rulez!!

[MarcSylex]

it is duval with jerry. its just that jerry leads more and duval lessens the power in his voice to give a subtle backup sync.

[ciosky93]

love this song

[OlgaMatusik]

Definitely the best and most beautiful song on the album. It touches the deepest part of soul. How anyone can't love it? And this solo + melody during refrain <3

[bjthepumpkinguy]

im like, "the song is sooo smashing pumpkins 'adore album' + old layne staley vocal track = william duvall is a very good choice."

[renatobh26]

Great Band.

[budwiesner1234]

**looks over shoulder**

"layne?"

[drunelson1]

This is one of the best on the album....like a mix of old Alice and Mad Season......fuckin nice job SK, JC, MI, and WD!!

[camaronetero]

SOO GRUNCH!!!

[defaultk89]

this is beautiful

[MrCigarbob]

You guys here Jerry Cantrell thats why it sounds like the old AIC. He sang alot in the Layne days as well. William Duvall if you listen to just him without Jerry actually is nothing close to Layne.... not even close! Jerry Cantrell is the voice of AIC old and new... RIP Layne Staley!!!!

[ryallperez]

As a huge AIC fan I admit that I at first resisted the new music. But noone else is Layne Staley and should not be compared to him. This album just shows how much creativity Jerry Cantrell has yet to offer and thank God he found a way to share it with us.

[GOORVY]

like from Jar Of Flies

[andiegail1]

I thought it was Layne also, the first 3 tracks for sure.

[dragracedude1]

my favorite song on the album

[Jumbo0225]

Is Layne back? this is creepy it's like he didn't die

[jess76310]

1 person isn't going to live to see the sun rise again.

[MrNoSuffer]

Star Wars Darth Vader Theme Song? :P

[Faaabs101]

I'm loving this song

So powerful and moving

[JordEs1980]

I can't hear Layne, it's just Jerry.

[LegitQuasimodo]

@JordEs1980 EXACTLY!

[heyyosurveysays]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

[kelownadude]

wow he sounds like layne. im pretty impressed.

[rambodude19]

Oh man, I never noticed that about this song! I can hear Layne too!!

[ComaAlpha]

I think where everybody thinks they Layne, hears Jerry twice. I don't think William is in this song. But then again at the concert he did sound an awful lot like Layne, so you never 'till you ask Jerry. Give him a call sometime and ask him.

[TheSonSatan]

This is my favroite on the album.

[GripTightThin]

Best song on the album.

[Scummy516]

i think william duvall was the perfect addition to revitalize aic. they couldnt have picked someone better. this album is amazing. hes not layne, but is still great.

[scruffnutz]

It reminds me of AC/DC. Bon Scott is too sick, but who they picked up couldn't be duplicated.

[Oreillyisthebest]

@Scummy516 thank you for saying it so truly

[SrPanqueca1]

@Scummy516 I Totally agree w/ u

[pombogira]

beautiful song

[Megadockxw71]

pdwyer283- dont ever compare layne to tupac layne is another level bro

[pdwyer283]

k tool...

[ArnthorJon]

Well that's your opinion... I think they where both great at what they did... If you can't realize that 2pac was a awesome artist though you dont like his music then you are narrow minded...

[ComaAlpha]

@ArnthorJon I could tolerate 'Pac. He was a mediocre rapper, but by all means was not a song writer. I wouldn't give him the same kind of respect as I would give to Layne Staley, Jerry Cantrell, Mike McCready, Andrew Wood, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, my buddy Mike, myself, Kris Kristofferson, I think you get the point. I WOULD give Tupac more respect than Randy Newman though.

[ArnthorJon]

@ComaAlpha "mediocre rapper" LOL!

[bobknocker]

@ComaAlpha "My buddy Mike" I just lost a mouthful of Fruity Pebbles behind that statement

[ComaAlpha]

@bobknocker a fellow musician that I work with.

[brandeno15]

dude he compared them with them being both dead and coming back to life shut the fuck up dont jump on someone like that when he wasnt even saying anything about comparing their talent lvls. asshole

[oneindachamber]

@Megadockxw71 First of all they are different genres of music so dont compare tupac to layne cuz tupac is on another level too. They were both great. This is why music falls off cuz yall always arguing over who is better. And this is really irrelevant for yall because they are different genres of music. just post comment about enjoyin the song.

[MrTufflong]

@Megadockxw71 Layne and Pac are both equals..for you to say their not just shows how musically naive and ignorant you are.

[cubsfan01991]

@Megadockxw71 what makes layne better then tupac, you turd!?

[RaVenVampir]

@Megadockxw71 agreeeee 

[Megadockxw71]

jerry is sooo smart its redicolous

[ZaKorn94]

lol exactly

[tjubiadebiyi]

@ZaKorn94 I honestly cannot believe thats not him.........

[pdwyer283]

freaks me out.. i can hear layne

[ZaKorn94]

that's wut i thought. old Layne vocal track put with new instruments?

[pdwyer283]

"it seems you profisised" line is definatly him. maybe layne is like 2pac and comes back from the dead to make albums haha

[19wayfarer19]

@pdwyer283 heres to hoping.

[retsamgod]

He ain't dead, it's a conspirancy I tell you.

[drunelson1]

@pdwyer283 especially in between 0:40 and 0:50

[TEHTYMEKITTEH1]

@pdwyer283

I know right. Its fuckin great

[braebrice]

@pdwyer283 you obviously don't know the difference between layne and jerry's vocals.. thats clearly jerry doing 2 diff vocal parts to make it sound more like the old stuff...

[yeahdudeitsreal]

@braebrice you obviously don't know that Jerry and William are BOTH singing this song.

fucktard.
