  • Recognize my disease!

  • Who could dislike this song? It rings so true of an addict.

  • When ever I think of Layne I think of this song, so powerful. r. i.p.

  • The only grunge band that I like.

  • @austin2460 They dont like to think of themsleves as grunge

  • @321rebelman Right. Some of their songs are pure grunge, but AIC are too metal to be grunge.

  • 'Love, sex, pain, confusion, suffering...'

    Layne and Mike singing together, how awesome is that?

  • For me it's "Confusion" and "It Ain't Like That" that are the best

  • @thaixhameraana I find I always go from "Confusion" to "Sea of Sorrow"

  • @dillon123met Of course "Sea of Sorrow" is the classic anthem of the album, in my book anyway :)

  • RIP Mike and Layne!!

  • 4:15- 4:50 EPIC!!!

  • perfect chorus *----*

  • 5:00 my favorite, tears my mind apart

  • Jerry Cantrell is COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

  • RIP Layne and Mike Starr you were the coolest. :-(

  • fucking Layne Staley. fucking Alice in Chains. Fucking hell this song is nothing but beautiful. It sends chills down my back and makes me feel more than alive. Layne/alice in chains 'til i die.

  • @xMasella - It makes you think, "Why did Layne and Mike have to die so young?".

    Possibly the best have to die young to let the scum of Earth carry on.

  • Tonight after three years i broke with my girlfriend who i loved more then anything in this fucken world.I send her this song in inbox to describe her how i felt.Maybe it was the dumbest decision in my life but at least it was mine.And maybe this comment could be usefull in the near future :/

  • @Screeaaam - That isn't dumb. Sad to hear about, but you ain't dumb. No fuckin' way.

  • This song gets better every time you listen to it. At first I wouldnt say this but after being an huge Alice fan for quite some time now I can say that this is one of their best. And one of my favourite songs... period.

  • @csmzcs Agreed,

  • What a great, great song! This is my favorite A in C song.

  • Comment removed

  • This inspired me to sing when i was in high school...I really still cant believe he's dead.Whats really kills me is when he passed it was around the same time that left eye from TLC died and there wasent shit on layne compared to her and hes so much more talented.

  • Layne Staley the personification of mind blowing talent. I've been a fan for, geez, 19 freaking years. In all that time, Layne still blows my mind, he's incredible.

  • @Buckyfanatic - me too matey but only discovered them long after Layne died and now Mike's gone. :-(

  • @ChuckyDoll10 It's the people who discover them long after the height of their popularity that pay the greatest tribute to the music. It shows how the music can last. That the emotion invested in the music still means something today. As long as people can feel it Layne and Mike will never be completely gone. The music was a gift to us and a living legacy of sorts. Crank it loud and enjoy it!

  • @Buckyfanatic - That trully is a cool comment you have replied with mate. God bless ya!

  • great song great band great time in my life

  • Happy birthday Layne! We love and miss you so much!!! R.I.P.

  • does mike starr do back vocals in this song?

  • @0937034killer yes he does

  • @Metallicafan825 no soundgarden is everyone just knows them because of black hole sun.

  • such a good singer.

  • in near full opiate w/ds ATM.. listening to this makes my pain a litle more bearable... besides my m'done..

  • @jdmaster13 You're very inspirational. Wishing you all the best with the recovery.

  • not really

  • @DrumNasty123 lol... I'm pretty sure your not kidding.

  • just kidding

  • fuck layne....elton john can have my ass!!!!!!/?

  • Good point.

  • 'Confusion' and 'I Can't Remember' are their most underrated songs.....although,most of their songs are underrated...........

  • @Jarac666 Calling Alice in Chains underrated is actually quite inaccurate. They were huge back in the 90's. Maybe not Nirvana huge but most certainly not underrated.

  • @Jarac666 Confusion yes mos def... Cant Remember?? i dont think so..... Most underrrated to me is personally is "Shame in you" circa 95

  • @Jarac666 The whole band is underrated

  • @Jarac666 - yes I agree, but we all on this forum rate everything AIC did and continue to do with William Duvall (RIP Layne & Mike) so it doesn't matter.

  • Comment removed

  • I disagree, I am ?was an addict and did not need Jesus to deal with that fact thank you.

  • must be amazing being able to wale like that! they are all so amazing but layne is irreplaceable

  • i want to fucking sing like him so bad! we have an almost identical timbre...but i just dont have the fucking vocal range damn it

  • @michaelmyers1993

    He is responsible for that dream in me too. That I cannot do it well does not stop me from doing it at all though! I just turn him up and all is well in the world.

  • @MagnificoGiganticus

    its not that though. i sound just like him in all the lower parts of his song. i can sing the verses to man in the box, but the chorus my voice just cracks and fizzles out. nutshell is awesome. this song is kind of difficult. rooster i sing everything until the aaaah yeahhhhhhh you know he aint gonna dieee.

  • 4:59 pure fuckin talent, no autotune

  • with that "CCCRRRAAAAWWWWLLL" he can knock down a wall !!

  • Comment removed

  • when metal fucked...

  • FIRST OFF GODSMACK STARTED AS A TRIBUTE BAND TO ALICE,THEN THEY GOT BIG.IM GLAD THAT THEY PUT ALICE IN THEIR SONGS,,,ROCK ON!!!!

  • @joemaninthebox1111 Godsmack is good as shit.

  • Damn! what a great f'n song!!

  • Los cambios de alicia

  • FUCK GODSMACK

  • Reconize my disease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Reconize my desease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is my favorite Alice in Chains song. Was from the second i heard it. Down In A Hole is second.

  • @Layne77Staley Same here!

  • @nork21 Hahaha nice dude!!

  • god wouldnt even accept layne in exchange for jesus O: i think layne is god

  • whoever sent me here to listen to this...saying it sounds like "Love hate sex pain" ummmmm how?

  • If marijuana had a sound, this would be it.

  • Every video I've gone to on here to listen to Alice in Chains has had an argument each to it's own. Everyone has opinions, and are entitled to express those opinions, but damn, there are people arguing against just about every single comment on these videos. Just sit back and enjoy the music, people. It's not a fucking war.

  • To end the whole "Alice in Chains" and "Godsmack" argument. JUST BE FUCKING HAPPY A BAND ACTUALLY HAD INFLUENCE FROM A MUSICAL GENIUSES LIKE LAYNE AND CANTRELL! It's Music, Enjoy it people.

  • @ArcadeLeak indeed

  • every aic songs are great.....

  • layne's sound toned the mood of all the real aic songs and in such a way that his personal feelings were jst filled in everyone of em. his screamin, his highs, his lows, every single sound jst makes the song so fckin real.

    hate to say nobody today is even close

  • Anyone notice Godsmack has this new song that kind of ripped off the lyrics...

  • @Ishbu101 Godsmack is an AIC ripoff -.-

  • @Ishbu101 Where do you think Godsmack got their name?

  • @Ishbu101 Godsmack rips off everything concerning Alice in Chains.

  • @RamonesSkater4life moron lol

  • This song and Love HaTe Love, both these songs. I just wanna mention Godmack's Song Love Sex Pain. There kind of similiar in a way. just thought it was interesting. Sully's so greatly infleunced by them,

  • STOP ARGUING pleassssssssssssse, just let AIC blow your mind.........

  • A very underrated song indeed. This should have way more views. Long Live AIC. x

  • fuck i love this song so much. i cant emphasize enough

  • yep. I feel the same way

  • Y-E-A-H, Soo AiC is less popular than Nirvana. And it's ok, I like to be in minority.

    Anyway...and so Nevermind

  • @Kapiszczur exact;y.. i hate likeing something then it gets big and everyone likes them and its gets WAY too much radio play.

  • Layne's vocals are at their best on this track. Such a shame that he wasted away the way he did. Shannon Hoon, Kurt Cobain, Jeff Buckley, and of course Layne all left way too soon.

  • Alice in Chains, Mad Season , grandes bandas!!!, Paz en tu tumba LAyne!!

  • i love this song, have to listen at least once a day ,i miss layne!!!!

  • hey dustin2006.....MOVE!

  • I'm the only person in my town I know that is really into Alice In Chains. Everyone else listens to deathcore/emo/corporate pop music. It's really depressing.

  • @dustin2006 i comprehend you. i live in Juearez Mexico and right here it's kinda known. but in El Paso (juarez american's vecinity ) almost everybody likes corporate shit.

  • @dustin2006 OH MY GOD SAME HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • myspace bandamodz

  • Godsmack stole love sex hate pain from this song

  • @japinthetree godsmack even stole there name from an aic song.

  • @LaynesAddiction I'm aware. 

  • @japinthetree they also stole their fucking name from alice in chains

  • @pennyroyaltea89 No they didn't.Listen to the music and shut the fuck up.

  • @GBallaJ um actually they clearly did lol and its really easy to act tough through the safety of a computer isnt it lol fuckin tool

  • @TheSection13 I wasn't acting tough I told you to shut the fuck up,don't see how I was threatening you or trying to act tough and you can go watch the interviews about the origins of their name,I'm not going to tell you I'll let you do some reading for once.They do acknowledge the AIC song and like the music but it is not their inspiration.

  • @GBallaJ I clearly wasn't the one who posted the previous comment as I leave my youtube account open it was prob's one of my friends, but the fact remains that I honestly could care less about what you think and just focus on actually listening to and enjoying the bands that work hard to make music.

  • @GBallaJ wow.. defensive much?

  • Facelift - Best album of AIC

  • i feel that i lost a great friend!!!, we will never forget you layne, you'll always be on our mind and our heart!!! thanks for everything, now i know i'm not the only that feel in that way!

  • joprice i'm agree with you is terrible but the things happened, we will never forget layne

  • Why did you have to leave us, Layne?????????????? RIP forever XOX

  • This song is so good because it is genuine and sends shivers up and down my spine. Music lately just simply sucks. It lacks any real depth and emotion and we need people who aren;t afraid to be a little dangerous and go out and just play till you drop. Where did that passion go? Anyways, I love AIC and miss Layne.

  • @rsohlich1 all the passion for music was flushed down the toilet now it's all about imagery, sex blah blah............

  • My favourite AIC song by now... Guitar is so painful

  • @istillloveu91 isn't the voice so painful?

  • @andino444 I say both are painful. I hear what istillloveu91 is saying. Painful song, on a whole really.

  • @andino444

    Oh hell yea.... This song bears some realism. It seems that the more depressive songs are better than this manufactured pop shit any day.... Most people whom I know are depressed because of this corporate, hypocritical thing called "society." Even the "happy" people are unhappy, they've just learned to hide it very well.

  • @DieserBenuterIstCool Your'e lucky to have such friends, most people I know are sold on the corporate music. Disgusting. And yea fuck society. Fucking society

  • Thumbs up if you think we should trade the 7 people who dislike this video for Layne??

  • @jamesthereaper7 I would trade them and their entire families for Layne.

  • @jamesthereaper7 ore like all of them for layne.

    id murder them myself.

  • @jamesthereaper7

    7 people would be enough for maybe, MAYBE, one vocal cord of Layne.

  • @jamesthereaper7 got your point, but 7 people won't be enough..

  • @jamesthereaper7 You could trade in a million people and God still wouldn't agree with it. Layne's too fucking amazing.

  • @voro122 Hahaha and on the 8892389389423423423423 day, God said, "Fuck you,and burn in hell you god damn poser rockers. (gestures to layne) Layne, GO GET EM TIGER!" XD sorry i am really fucking high.

  • @ArcadeLeak lol the way to be

  • @voro122 Within that million of people I'm sure there would be someone just as good Layne Staley, so I disagree.

  • @jamesthereaper7 u would bring back a man so much in pain? fro thumbs up? ur sick

  • @mintroyboy Layne went too young. RIP Layne.

  • @mintroyboy thats sick. its abviously that Layne didnt wanna be here anymore, too much pain, loneliness...read his poem called 'the core' you will understand more. ( for those who dont)

  • @jamesthereaper7 It's not really a video, it's a picture w/music.

  • Facelift is their best album in my opinion. The whole thing is just so dark and gives you an eerie feeling from start to finish.

  • I love this song! The whole Facelift cd is brilliant! R.I.P. Layne

  • Never will die rock and roll or metal or any good music

    Those teenagers shouldn't watch the TV the MTV

  • @InfiniteDesign91 I agree, MTV sucks! They don't have any good music on there!

  • Great song. I first heard this on my 11th birthday in 1996. Turning point in my life.

  • @hullett29

    AH! i was born in 1996

  • @hullett29 you are going right man...his voice is so unbelievable...

  • @hullett29 dude i heard this stuff back in 09' and im 17 now, i actually bought their first 2 cds and i listen to them in my truck everyday Lifes good!

  • i love this song.....

    its a good message ... its a life

    its a song love and hate,

    i want you but cant have you

    need you but should stay away

    addicted but should stop

    damned if i do damned if i dont.....

    life........ some many ways, reasons, is there aways one anwser to it or more to find.....

    yep Alice in Chains explain my life...

  • damn it people, how bout stop the petty arguing and just enjoy a kickass AIC song :)

  • @browneyedbrunette17 I agree with you 100%

  • Know one understands me better than AIC (:

  • I agree with OrchidJayne.....I really wish layne would have got it together, So much talent lost :( He passed on my Bday just like kurt on Apr. 5th

  • @rollitupjosh you know how strange it is that to great vocalist from seattle died on the same day just different years

  • @rollitupjosh Wow, you've got one unlucky birthday.

  • Isn't it sad ppl are so low they make fun of ppl who are dead cause they're the real pussies, really now why don't you dick wipes go crawl in a corner and shove a nail up your ass Layne and Kurt are dead have some self respect fuck

  • Comment removed

  • @Bile691 No fuck you dick leech and one layne wasn'y suicidal and two kurt was just fucked up from his parents divorce and he felt everything he did went wrong the band the music his life with courtney the band was splitting up aroubd the time he died and he and couurtney were getting a divorce and they both have more talent singing tjen you do when your on your knees

  • Comment removed

  • @Bile691 Try to understand ppl B4 you judge them....your just a person tryin to stand out on utube congrats that a good life for yourself im sure.....they were 2 ppl that were reclouses....didn't wanna talk to NO ONE...and ppl make you a face of a generation...they didn't want that...Kurt wanted to make music same with Layne and when they were done just wanted to nodd off in a bar...and they cant even do that now...they helped so many ppl...if u can't respect that than ur just worthless really

  • Comment removed

  • @Bile691 your right dude I cant spell utube good1 or speak english man do u come up wit this all yourself signing doesn't mean u want to be famous that just comes along wit making music kurt was kinda of a reclouse cuz theres ppl like you in this world that put ppl down for no reason other than your own enjoyment or jealousy and for you i bet its jealousy cuz b4 you went downing Layne and kurt you jammed this song or u wouldn't be on here right wat do u get outta making fun of ppl who are dead

  • Comment removed

  • @Bile691 ya because you have nothing to rebuttle with I not tryin to fight...fighting on YOUTUBE there u happy is for immature ppl....Im tryin to give you some clarity to see that these two ppl helped so many just get thru their everyday lives and if you can't see that then I just feel bad for you....bc your a close minded person

  • @Bile691 dude take some midol and get off youtube you seriously have some problems man obviously you should learn more about why bands signrecord labels its not to be famous but to get their message out through their music I bet you listen to that gay ass emo shit dont you?

  • @Chayse88Black HAHAHAHA you are just as retarded as the other guy, Bands can have several reasons for signing a major contract but they obviously want to be famous otherwise they wouldnt. Get their message out? maybe some bands but not all and not even many. emo shit? there hasnt been emo shit since 2005 I listen to AIc more than anything dumbass. Ive been trolling at first i love nirvana and AIC but you people are so dumb its really really sad

  • @Bile691 no you idiot they signed the contract because having one makes more people listen to your music so that more people will get help from their songs do you think many people will listen to guys that can only get small time jobs because they don't have a contract so just concede no one agrees with you your arguements are flawed

  • @roxascanwupsora lol so in your world every band doesnt want money or fame, they want their message to be spread? Thats so dumb, maybe a few bands wanted that but not every one, and what band are you talking about that has a message anyway, its defiantly not Nirvana and not AIC so what gay ass shit are you listening to thats pushing its "message" on you? You have to be one of the dumbest people ive argued with, its like your so wrong that its impossible for you to be taken seriously

  • @Bile691 well your taste in music is the best thing and as for the emo shit that gay noise with ppl wearing tight jeans and covering their hair over one eye cutting your wrist cause you want attention still goes on my friend its just called screamo now, now you cant get someone like layne or kurt anymore music is dead it should be noise instead of music

  • @Chayse88Black I try to be mature about music, see the bright side of anything, give credit where credit is due, but your right that screamo shit isnt acceptable. Rock music is dead. Just like Jazz used to be the most popular and now look at it, its the exact same thing with rock music I'm afraid.

  • @Bile691 and the stuff ppl listen to today will die off and hopefully something better will arise but doubtfully most likely sittier music will rise up but theres still hope

  • Who the hell are these ignorant assholes calling Cobain and Staley pussies? They made music history and saved our asses in the 90's when we were still recovering from Cyndi Lauper. They made something of themselves, and sadly drugs had to be in the middle of it. Just fuck off, and let them rest in peace already.

  • one of their best

  • stay strong mike

  • ok i know being on herion is hard but i just strongy disagree with the u need god comment i dnt even belive in a reilogon god wont help u u have to do it yourself and stoping beliving the lie and im realy for srry any chirstians who is offed by this it just my oppin dude

  • @grizzlyforlife have u ever tried quitting heroin by yourself ? it takes a spiritual solution.

  • @grizzlyforlife

    having an opinion is one thing

    having a clue is another.

    you can quote me on that, it is my original saying.

  • "the" voice, forever...

  • i agree this my favorite song on this album. good album front to back.

  • I never knew Mike Starr waz so fucking HOT back then. It is so sad. He went from gorgeous bassist to bipolar junkie.

  • @Tazmania115110

    Yea, i know wut you mean, wuz soo hot then, but now he' s ugly an haz a ponytail.

  • y did mike get punked on that dr. drew show... lol

  • GREAT SONG

  • @stybarrow Thank you for your kind words and thoughts.

    It is appreciated.
