Layne's voice is a little rough but he still had enough to make it a great performance overall. All four of them were so good-looking here. I think this was Mike Starr's last concert with AIC.
Damn, even Layne knew he wasn't doing too good. He looks pretty frustrated at some parts, but he also rocked out as hard as ever regardless. We need more musicians leading the music industry like Layne, minus the heroin. Fuck heroin, it's killed way too many young men and women..
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
Godsmack had the nerve 2 dis NIKKI SIXX of all people. They have no respect 4 those who paved the way 4 them. I REFUSE 2 listen 2 anything related 2 godsmack. they suck anyway.
I love AIC and Lanye Staley but all this talk about Godsmack sucking is ridiculous. Godsmack fuckin rocks as well or better than AIC! And if yoiu read Sully Ernas book The Paths We Choose he clearly states that the name came from making fun of someone for a fever blister and getting someone else got one the next day. Thats like God smacking you for making fun of that guy
@stickster36 He admitted in an early interview that they were originally an AIC cover band; coincidentally the band is named after an AIC song. Are you really so daft that you are unable to make the connection?
I figure if you can call yourself a fan of Godsmack, you'd at least know a thing or two about where they got their name for their band, their history, etc. In other words, most of these comments are making me rage. :I
i am taking a shit on these dumbass godsmack comments........ive been an aic fan since i was 9..........way before sully and his band of rejects decided to start shitting up the music scene....
@Shalie2015 Dead? they are touring with a new singer, and where the hell is godsmack? Oh yeah, in the category of shitty bands that will not be remembered in 20 years
@Shalie2015 Fuck your Godsmack dude, they are a ripoff of this style. They are quite alive today, even with a different singer, still draw huge crowds and still kick ass.
@Shalie2015 Without AIC your precious Godsmack wouldn't exist. The band got their fucking name from AIC. That and Sully was heavily influenced by Layne if you've never noticed. Study up before corrupt society with your stupid remarks.
@Shalie2015 LOL bubblehead do you know, realize where the name of Godsmack came from?!?1 I guess not. At least learn about the influences of the artists you listen to before sounding like an real idiot without knowledge of what he/she listens. You just bitched about the favourite band of Godsmack, their inspiration. I D I O T!!!!
Is it suspicious that the band Godsmack has spent almost their whole career persuading people of how they didn't bite anything from AIC (their band name/album name/style/ect)? We all know they did, which is fine... they couldn't take a page from a better book, but why deny it, even after their own drummer declared this song was inspiration to their name. They wonder why they still fly under the radar after the commercial success they have had... might as well just go back to covering AIC songs.
Layne's voice is pretty rough in this one...which means it's only better than 80% of the other great rock singers instead of 90%. Pretty awesome voice. Don't flame me at least I'm being honest in that they're not my favorite band
wickedlala420. go to this youtube users channel to signt he petition to have a bio or atleast a documentary made about layne staley. every signature helps
the crappy band called "Godsmack" otherwise known as "Gaysmack" infact DID take their name from this Alice song. so Gaysmack fans do your reasearch and GO AWAY. Godsmack fans: Stick around for some real fun.
Perhaps some of you should use those brains to do some research on the whole Godsmack theory. I know you will find that Sully idolized Layne and he was the entire reason He even began to sing. Direct quote as follows : “When [Dirt] came out, the thing did not leave my CD player,” Godsmack singer Sully Erna told Cross in Rolling Stone. “I’ve never heard someone’s voice hit the tape like that. He’s the reason I started singing.”
I see so much hate going on in today’s world it makes me sick. Let’s suppose Layne could drop down out of the sky and see this going on; what do you think he would say to all of us? Your heart should automatically decipher that one, the big part is accepting it. Peace and thanks for the posts..
Just because alice in chains plays a lot of shit in drop d tuning doesn't mean godsmack didn't rip them off. I guarantee AIC was one of, if not there biggest influence. However, it is sort of juvenile to talk shit about godsmack over this because all rock n rollers have stylistic influences and idols.
Well sure yeah Sully is trying to sound like Layne but you know what we all know Layne was one of a kind. Layne RIP my friend. Anyways I love this song and I kinda figured Godsmack got their name from this.
Godsmack is a great band... I don't see anything similar between AIC and Godsmack... Maybe because im a musician and i know the very different tunings they use, but i find very stupid to say that Godsmack ripped off Alice in Chains... Rock will live always in our hearts and minds... as a matter a fact... ROCK WILL NEVER DIE \m/
@ohml1188 if you cant find the similarities then you sir are a shitty musician godsmack not only ripped of aic they also ripped of some slayer riffs and melodies

everyone who makes these"ill rip your dick off and stab your eye with it" type comments are most likely cowards whove never had a physical confrontation in their lives.just calm down and dig the good tunes
Well how is music supposed to happen when people are constantly being judged of sounding the same? I mean Alice in Chains was a huge influence on Godsmack. I hate Godsmack with all that is within me I love Alice In Chains but I mean come on dont hate on Godsmack for that reason hate because they suck lol
This video was from the night, Mike Star died for 11 minutes backstage, while doing smack with Layne, and Kurt Cobain. He was also booted out of the band, after this night. Poor Mike, he was a good bass player.
Layne before addiction totally won.......compare this to umplugged....so sad....Layne your music will live on through me forever....Come on fellow gen X'ers.....we need to pass this greatness onto the children....Layne may have lost his war but his beautiful, painfilled voice is, to me, the most original and greatest of all times!!!
Wow, I had no idea people could be so stupid. It's pretty obvious that they ripped of AIC's logo. They were not even creative enough to come up with their own bandname so they name themselves after a song. The singer tries way too hard to sound like Layne and James Hetfield. There sound in general is pretty generic. That's one of the only reasons why they get radio play.
No its very simple. you are an idiot. you arguments are all fail.
sully erna sounds not like hetfield or layne.
and their bands name is not because of alice in chains fucking song "godsmack". yeah i guess, since you are a godsmack hater, you havent read the book from sully erna. so you can not know anything about the band and how all came together.
@tipthepunisher Please refrain from using Gay as a perjoritive on my videos. Thank you! There is no reason a discussion can't be had without using hate speech.
@tipthepunisher just so you kno this song had nothing to do with " Godsmacks" name NON WHAT SO EVER! so quit letting that pit bull mouth get ahead of that puppy dog ass
@VoltaBloggShackk shut your bitch ass up! and @davedorger it makes no difference weather it was a tribute or not...they still ripped off their sound and even their logo. At the end of the day, AIC is still going strong to this day and "GODSMACK" sucks major balls with their latest album!
@tipthepunisher Oh those are real strong words motherfucker yet again dumb fuck dont let that pit bull get ahead of that puppy dog and if u dont mind why dont u just explain how they ripped of AIC's sound huh go for
@VoltaBloggShackk any dumb fuck can figure out what is original and what isnt you ignorant piece of shit! but then again, your probly just a emo cock sucker trying to be hard on YOUTUBE! LOL faggot!
@tipthepunisher ohhh yeahh run that mouth your pussy. emo my ass! godsmack sounds nothing like alice in chains if u really think sully sounds like layne you must be retarded there voices are different you cunt! so at the end of the day your the ignorant piece of shit. go toss someones salad , your a disgrace to layne , jerry , sully fuck man everybody
@VoltaBloggShackk Godsmack does fucking suck hairy ape balls... Which apparently you seem to enjoy too. You need to shape up you dumb fucking tool. Your a fucking plug. Go back to playing with your clit to Godsmack pictures...
@TaLDrummer motherfucker shut the fuck up i really hope someone goes anselmo on your ass and beats the living shit out of you , you fucking cock sucking ass raping whore!!! fuck you u goddamn mother fuckin pussy ass bitch....get your head out of your ass and get your bottom lip put it over your head and then swallow dick head. get a life chump! you can't fuck with me so yet again do everyone a favor like punisher and shut your fucking mouth!!!!
@VoltaBloggShackk Hahahahaha!!! Your such a fucking loser! Its funny! Quit talkin outta your ass. You are way too funny, such a loser! Son, go back to your gay porn.
@TaLDrummer oh funny thats really funny coming from someone who gets it up the ass from his dad...really dumb ass the term "loser " is suppose to offended me oh no its the end of the world what ever will i do im so offended....how about you go back to sticking crayons up your ass...shut your fucking mouth
@VoltaBloggShackk You know, your horrible spelling and grammar does offend me. You must really be dense. And thats creative about the crayons, how did you come up with that one? Little bit of experimenting involving some wax colouring utensils and your rear end? Way to be champ. Your asshole will look like a rainbow if you don't quit that nasty habit of yours.
@TaLDrummer if my "grammer" offends you well thats just to fuckin bad, and on 2nd note you seem to be the one thats done a little bit of experimenting...i'm not sure you understand what the word shut the fuck up means
@VoltaBloggShackk Bahahaha Shut the fuck up is more than one word jackass. Stop shoving crayons up your ass and understand what these WORDS " Shut the fuck up" mean, and comply with it!
@tipthepunisher you kno i was startin to think u alrite and just a fan but after that one u aint alrite i was gonna give u a break but you kno what FUCK YOU! burn in hell you piece of trash do something thats more productive....try running with scissors see how that works out for you
@VoltaBloggShackk hey EMO , do everyone on YOUTUBE a favor and stop shoving or rainbow coloring your anus with crayons!lol you r the one who needs a life u fucking queer!
@VoltaBloggShackk Haha. Your fucking dumb. "understand what the word shut the fuck up means". That's more than one word stupid. Son, go back to school cause your half of a brain apparently is failing you. And I'm the on doing experimenting? You're the one who came up with 'shoving crayons up the ass'. I think your parents need to hide the crayons.... And check you into some mental institution.
@TaLDrummer you fuckin dick head i am in school so fuck you!!!! oohhh dont you feel like a big bad man your fucking pathetic pussy and your what 30...exactly? you are a disgrace to layne stayle and alice in chains neither of them want you as a fan. and your arguing with someone thats drunk and has the IQ of a 16 year old so you may need to go to a fuckin mental institution. check yo self fool
@VoltaBloggShackk so you r saying you have the IQ of a 16 year old girl?lol i knew you were a small piece of shit, but i didnt realize i was banging your mom when your bitch ass was still floating inside a nut sack! lmao! "just keep cutting yo self FOO!"
@tipthepunisher small huh shut fuckin moouth u little bitch oh yea im so emo just remember motherfucker karma is a mothafucka ur what 40 and live with ur mom and u think im small huh thats a hole lotta talk through a computer from both of u what you fail to realize is that you have pissed off a hole lotta ppl that will prolly track you to the type of your blood what u gnna do when someone that you label" emo" comes up with all his friends holds your bitch ass at gun point, shut r mouth fuckup
@VoltaBloggShackk And you only use 10% percent of your brain at one time, but that is only applicable to people with brains, such as tipthepunisher and PureTransgression. You on the other hand, seem to be lacking a brain.
@TaLDrummer see if you would have kept your big mouth shut on a conversation that didnt involve you in the first place. we would be threw commenting on symptom1555's video now i will say it again GODSMACK did not get there name from ALICE IN CHAINS does alice in chains even sound like godsmack FUCK NO!!!! one of the band members had a cold sore and "sully " made fun of him and the next morning sully woke up with one and one of the members said god smacked you
@TaLDrummer and if there is any song that sounds like aic it would be voodoo but it doesnt even come close...now some of Godsmacks influences are alice in chains but they did in non what so way rip alice in chains off!! but if you will go on with that if you knew how a band worked when written(including aic) u would kno that they ripp a millon different artist of in the process to get there sound im done commenting so quit your bitching both of you
@VoltaBloggShackk Hey, you must be good at writing essays at least. And I don't really care what you said about the music stuff, your just a fucking psycho and it wasa funny to piss you off. Not it seems youve taken your Ritalin and calmed down. Good boy.
@VoltaBloggShackk hey dumb ass, bands will say anything to hide the fact they ripped off another! PLEASE.. you honestly believe that story over the "god smacked you in the face crap? it's preatty obvious they took the name from an AIC song.You r living in denial fucker! do something productive in life other than making threats like a big shot over the internet, because all you r doing is making an ass out of yourself. like TaLDrummer said anyone with a brain can figure that out! done wit yo ass
@VoltaBloggShackk Haha. You know what is a disgrace to Layne Staley... Misspelling his name you dumbass. I'm 16 and in school, but I go a place called high school. It seems your only in preschool it will take you a little while to get there. Keep it up man, keep matching colours in school and playing with the building bricks.
@TaLDrummer like i said you dipshit if my spelling is bad, too fuckin bad i get....and 16 hmm idgaf i could beat ur ass any day, and knowing ur 16 i really kno that ur ass gets stomped on. id like to see ur ass at a public 2nd on your first day that big mouth of yours would get your ass thrown off the 2nd floor....oh and that last comment where did that come from huh igaf about "puretransgression" or " tipthepunisher" get your head out of your ass tranny.
@VoltaBloggShackk Shut the fuck up. Do you know personelly. Layne was Sully's fav singer and AIC was his fav band. That stupid story about one of them having a cold sore and saying God just smacked you. That's BullShit. Godsmack is a badass band but Sully Erna lied to you all. Godsmack got it's name off of this song.
@VoltaBloggShackk are you retarded? read what Robbie Merrill originally said about how the band got their name, they started off as an Alice in Chains cover band & thats why they called themselves Godsmack. fuck, they say Alice in Chains was their biggest influence, & you can sooooo tell that Sully trys to sound like Layne, its gross. only reason Sully said otherwise about how they got their name was so they seemed original, anyone with a brain can see that. dumb fuck.
@VoltaBloggShackk Actually Godsmack took their name DIRECTLY from this song, and in '99 started denying it to keep people from making comparisons between them and AiC.
@VoltaBloggShackk Lol are you kidding me. You actually beleive there bullshit story about how they go there name? hahah you idiot.
They are well known to rip off AIC. They even said that they love this song. and they used to be a tribute band to AIC, so you know they obivsouly knew by naming themselves Godsmack there was a connection.
Also Aic's first album was called Facelift. and Godsmack made one called "Faceless" lmao
@Wesson4 He's right. There's videos on here of Godsmack saying that they named themselves because of AiC and half of their songs, as well as their album names... So... I don't know how you're argument is even valid. Sir who is obvlivious. Lol
@Wesson4 hey dumbass not to rain on your self righteous rant (even though i dont like godsmack either) naming there band after the song was in honor and respect. and the "facelift" and "faceless" only share the fact they both contain the word Face. Its nothing more than using a word in the english language.
@VoltaBloggShackk WOW. fucking idiot. Godsmack started out as a fucking AIC cover band, the lead singer Sully soooooo tries to sound like Layne Staley, anybody with a brain can hear that. Godsmack the band so obviously took their name from this song & if you don't believe that then you are a motherfucking retard. its a disgrace too because that band Godsmack is fucking terrible, a bunch of no talents trying to be something/someone they are not.
@VoltaBloggShackk Actually Sully Erna cites Alice in Chains as one of his greatest influences, so it would make sense why to assume Godsmack came from their song.
@VoltaBloggShackk whats so funny is you believe the diarrhea that flows out your own mouth.. HAHAHA got take a nap kid cause you obviously have no idea what your talking about!!!
@tipthepunisher not evenclose to a rip off... wtf are you talking about? its a tribute and sign of respect! my band was named after the nevermind album. not that we couldnt think of anything else its that we had respect.
@truthbearer606 what kind of musician r you if you cant tell when a band rips off another and their sound,or when something is original or isnt? i never said it wasnt a tribute, IMO sully trys to hard to sound like layne and james from metallica.listen to "running blind' by godsmack, and tell me they dont try to sound like alice! AND WHO GIVES A FLYIN FUCK ANYWAYS!!! GODSMACK STILL SUCK MAJOR HAIRY WET BALLS! lol
@tipthepunisher godsmack has never ripped off aic dickwad, their both great bands and why cant people just appreciate both bands without finding out every little thing that is only very slightly similar. If anything godsmack has done sounds at all like aic, its their first album, thats it.
@JakTheMan1 Godsmack started out as an Alice in Chains cover band, man. and got their name from an AiC song, and their logo looks almost exactly the same as the one from AiC Dirt... It is just fact. I love both bands.

This video was from the night, Mike Star died for 11 minutes backstage, while doing smack with Layne, and Kurt Cobain. He was also booted out of the band, after this night. Poor Mike, he was a good bass player.

Godsmack has never been a Alice In Chains Coverband or Ripoff.
And Godsmacks music has other style. Its more aggressive and the guitar sounds more new metal.
And of course the Voice is a 100 times better :p

@Retauros
Wow, I had no idea people could be so stupid. It's pretty obvious that they ripped of AIC's logo. They were not even creative enough to come up with their own bandname so they name themselves after a song. The singer tries way too hard to sound like Layne and James Hetfield. There sound in general is pretty generic. That's one of the only reasons why they get radio play.
cooliomon78 1 year ago
@cooliomon78
No its very simple. you are an idiot. you arguments are all fail.
sully erna sounds not like hetfield or layne.
and their bands name is not because of alice in chains fucking song "godsmack". yeah i guess, since you are a godsmack hater, you havent read the book from sully erna. so you can not know anything about the band and how all came together.

Also Aic's first album was called Facelift. and Godsmack made one called "Faceless" lmao
Godsmack's bitch asses owe everything to AIC.
