There's nothing "Alt" or "Grunge" about Mad Season, listen to the 70's rock influence on this song for example.

People are closed minded and go with the media labels.

[sarpin76]

F'ing Mark Lanegan. I love him.

[VeronicasHeart]

Listen to what you just said.... *quotes you, verbatim* "you have 'young' little brats" "keep your pubescent comments" "grow up you little trolls" "stop soiling these comments with undereducated unrelated comparisons" Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone, me thinks. Lets go over it again... Young, Pubescent, Uneducated. Now, how does that make you feel. *laughs* They are 'kids'? And, you coming off as an 'educated' 'adult' should be more.. what's the word.. less 'troll like'?

[llHyRaXll]

Proud to be born n raised in the Pacific Northwest :P

[sunflowergirlization]

This song is perfect. It reminds me of some stupid shit I've done in the past and basically it reminds me of ME! Big ego-booster. I give it a BIG HAPPY FACE. Thanx, Layne

do ya all think this song was written in reference to his former girlfriend or his former band or a combination of both. the lyrics are just to deep to not be about something very personal and close to his heart.

I believe in God: God is Layne Staley

@dagas158 Seattle forever, motherfuckers.

[lgtrojan15]

Do you know how many people I'd like to send this to??

[ravenouscolonelhart]

amazing album. these guys were so awesome they could just make shit up and its as awesome as this! they played shows with no songs written and just made things up as they went! I wish they would have released the second mad season album (the band was retitled "Disinformation") with lanegan on vocals. another waste of undoubtedly brilliant material, like the tool/nin/manson collaboration tapeworm. yee.

[RodMagikJohnson]

This is so damn good.

[carlahardy72]

Layne NEVER made a bad song EVER. Miss him

[afpmx]

Why is it every damn AIC or Mad Season post you go into, you have young little brats bringing Gaga and Beiber into the conversation? Keep your pubescent comments out of here, talk about Layne and his accomplishments, not about current pop shit music and actually try and compare the two. Grow up you little trolls. Long live Layne and the great rock of the late 80s into the mid 90s i was so glad to have been a teenager then. Please stop soiling these comments with uneducated unrelated comparisons

[neckvein1]

@afpmx Jesus man relax.........Comparisons, no matter how obscure are inevitable. Cool song though.

[blindmunkee]

@afpmx to be honest...and no disrespect at all, bitchin about it doesnt help..it only feeds them and makes their lifeless waste worth a very clever comment posted by u good sir...so fuck em, they just havent done the rite drugs yet

[bugatishakedown]

@afpmx Shut the fuck up you clueless fuckhead.

[bugatishakedown]

Layne was the man...R.I.P. Layne.... Fuck Beiber and these other dickheads ...music today is gay and the music industry is obselete with Lady Gaga....American Idol is the biggest hit atm and that goes for music too...name me a rock band today with talent...you can't because there is no one with talent atm....lol that is new

[Layneismyhero1]

@bugatishakedown 10 years they started about three years ago immense talent amazing singer

[4lifenirvana]

@bugatishakedown Go listen to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Radio Moscow you ignorant fuck.

[MrCallofthemastodon]

@bugatishakedown Mastodon. the new opeth album. nothing before the newest one though. TOOL. Some A Perfect Circle. lots! And, yes, i know tool started in the very early 90's so they are not that new. Just saying that there still is SOME hope for the newest generartion. Find light in the darkness.

[Silvercordband]

@bugatishakedown Silver Cord

<--------------- :)

[bugatishakedown]

Or Beiber.....it's all fag spelling to me...bieber beiber .....sounds the same to me....absolute fagness and any dude that likes this homo's music is just flaming and whackin' to some weird shit on their bedroom walls!

[bugatishakedown]

Justin Beiber is a total fag.........Layne Staley=God, sorry Bieber!

[psychedelicArk]

these guys know how to sing ;)

thank you

[Jennxification]

Did Layne write this song, Hats off to whoever did. This is bad ass song writing. First time I've seen the Lyrics. It just moved to the top of my Mad Season Favorites. These guys were awesome together, wish they could have did more. So sad about Layne and John Baker Saunders

[RaVexChainz]

@Jennxification Layne kicks asssssssssssss at song writing orgasmic

[kirbyj2]

I get chills every time McCready channels his inner-Page with that blues rift at the beginning of the chorus.

[puppetshowjustice]

man, that change kicks my ass

[haydin09]

Some of the best bands combined in one! BRING IT BACK!  RIP Layne! 2010

[mike01conway]

can someone tell me what the mad season is

[Primeministerr]

Ok, listen up GOD, hear me out we give you justin bibber for Layne staley, deal?

[jermahle]

@Primeministerr seriously? does every fucking video need a beiber comment? for fuck's sake already let it die, we all know he is a corporate tool, or are you some kind of executive just trying to put his name out there some more?

[CapitanoNemo89]

Layne come back..

[skyehoyt1971]

O circle O

[PlaygroundPolitician]

claiming unconditional love. i miss that girl, and if we could talk, things would be understood. love.

[77Hellraiser]

i never will be above!!

lieber aleine unten-

[ORIGINALXEMPIRE702]

BEST FUCKING CD EVER MADE ITS ETERNAL

[ssaallttyyddaawwgg]

still gets me over the top to chill with it...

[RawDietitian]

Amazing album...

[JohnnyFreakadelic]

wow this song remember some beatles chorus, really rich

[nashnwo1234]

lol to the guy saying the beginning of this songs sucks. layne spoke wisdom and honesty that most people will never comprehend or relate to

[SolarEXtract]

For those who still believe in rock, listen to a band called Priestess. They're fairly new but have 2 albums out already and both completely rock my face off. Excellent song writing if you like rock songs.

[koolandthegang09]

one of my favorite fucking songs layne staley is the greatest fucking vocalist ever R.I.P

[CapitanoNemo89]

The best artists ever!

[1blondie0]

the begging sucks,but the middle is good.....

[hank62299]

@1blondie0

how do you know what's good? you don't even know how to spell beginning

[1blondie0]

@hank62299 ok so i made a mistake in spelling who cares?sheesh.but i do know whats good cuz i dont listen to crap music like lady gaga or justin beiber.

[jlb0077]

Love this song it reminds me of a real turning point in my life.

[lukeeeeee7]

very impressive compilation of members in this band ^^

[loknloll]

mike mccready came to fucking play on this record. he's so subtle and amazing, getting the most out of the absolute minimum... a blast to jam this one on guitar. it's easy, but it's a total blast. thanks mike

[2High2Die738]

YES,when that time comes and we must STAND ...i will be spared and have a skyscraper there 2.....AND I WILL ATTEND ALL THE PERFORMANCES.

[001seetherfan]

layne and mad season, a new friend... new music's still emotionally raw through bands like 3DG, Seether, sick puppies, breaking benjamin and the like... they pay homage to pioneers like layne and kurt. The future's a reflective mirror.

[UnknownDestination10]

@001seetherfan I'm sorry man but every band you just named is bubblegum rock doowop bullshit bands. Layne wouldn't have wiped his ass with Breaking Benjamines album art. Since about 2 years before Layne died, music has been stagnent. Its all been garbage. Bunch of talentless jambands went mainstream. woop d fuckin do. 3dg is shit too. I put all those bands in the same category as Shinedown and Kid Rock... Layne, AIC and Mad Season is legendary like Dimebag and what he brought to metal.

[AllieInChains]

@UnknownDestination10 damn straight :]

[wastelandsoldier1]

@001seetherfan Sorry but seether is straight GARBAGE.LOL

[omegalen]

@wastelandsoldier1 actually i think seether is pretty good ;D. sorry ! lol :p

[slamminsammy74]

I just had a bowl movement all over matchbox 20.

[TheChris07250]

@slamminsammy74

you mean bowel movement.

[oghabe]

Mark Lanegan singing with Layne on this by the sound of it

[sasvite]

@oghabe yeah thats true! i didn't realize that! its weird cause if you don't listen carefully you wont hear Lanegan XD

[thomasandarica]

NO! 1 BOURBON, 1 SCOTCH,1 BEER... ;) for the REAL LAYNE STAYLEY!

[marko2you]

@thomasandarica love ya! lol

[thomasandarica]

@marko2you thanks!! Layne,Andrew Wood,Kurt. all of them.

[grungerobotnow]

this is nirvana not mad season retards. you can tell by the singing.

[RedBuddhaRR]

@grungerobotnow that's Layne you dumb shit not Kurt there's no way in hell Kurt could sing like this (though he fucken owns)

[grungerobotnow]

@RedBuddhaRR i was kidding silly head.

[VacLateralus]

@grungerobotnow lol man u r wrrrrrroooooonnnnngggg.... learn this names: Mark Lanegan, Layne Staley, Mike McCready, John Baker Sanders, Barrett MArtin: MAD SEASON.

[Harmstray]

@grungerobotnow hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

[Salokist]

@grungerobotnow Hahahahahaha what a dumbass!!! This is NOT Nirvana, seems to me like YOUR the retard here lmao

[omedicius]

pure poetry. and a new addition to my favorites

[onilledzep]

kill matchbox 20

[verauza]

amo a Layne!

[nnnnnate]

Layne was a better vocalist than anyone, hands down. And Lyricist.

[fillXnXdXblank]

@nnnnnate I agree that he was an incredible vocalist and artist overall, but I'd just like to point out that Jerry Cantrell wrote most of AIC's lyrics.

[ThEmB0nEz]

@fillXnXdXblank that's a lie!!!! Look at the "Tripod" ALBUM Layne wrote all the lyrics except to 3 songs. Half on Dirt and facelift Albums. Jerry and Layne Wrote pretty much 50/50 of LYRICS.

[rocked1994]

@ThEmB0nEz Jerry got 3 of the singles though

[supergian1977]

LAYNE WE MISS YOU

[BlooPanda]

Over you i'm standing above.

[PezoCon]

This album was released on my ex girlfriends birthyday. March 14. Mine is March 15. We both should have been together forever. But things just didn't work out. I would like to get her this album if I ever get to talk to her again. I miss you.

[WhiteRabbitm8te]

mad season isnt popular but dam i fucking love what im hearing alice in chains is good too but for me this comes above.

alice in chains is great is also very dark heavy rock n roll and so unquiely powerful

this for me is creative the words make u think and the music makes u feel good

[Creeper2012]

@WhiteRabbitm8te so true man....well spoken.

[MrTraceMan]

Layne was pure genius with his phrasing ,,,,,,,,,,and vocal pace, God he was talented, we will always remember you Layne!

[melody2085]

LAyne Staley...I miss you

[revolverproducciones]

Love it!

[Bithalrai]

1 album....awesome!!!!, flawless, gr8, Thanks Mad Season for leavin this masterpiece 4 us.....Layne u had a magic in ur vocals....any Rock or metal listeners who does not like Layne's vocals are not fit for metal or rock genre!!!!!

[brad0717]

Top Notch..just kickin it mello.

[MrTufflong]

[blsway01]

God IS here priest!

[ebnbgbtb]

Brings back memories

[miecow]

[marijuanashouldbfree]

Iiiiiiii'm AAAAbooooooove!

[WeDieYoung1083]

Over you I'm standing above... Great name by the way!

[sambo75420]

Unmistakable Voice.....as far as i am concerned Layne ,Eddie V. Cornell, and Kurt was the voice of the 90's

[Hava420friendly]

@sambo75420 HELL YA!!!

[daieohfreckoning]

@sambo75420 Shannon Hoon was great too

[dickknows]

@daieohfreckoning I saw Blind Melon the night at St Andrews hall when-the guy killed himself. And i think that

effected him deeply!

[k4aic]

Layne was the best voice of the 90s and Mark just added so much to this song. Mark and Layne sang well together...Ashame that Mark did not get the chance to sing with Layne besides this and Long Gone Day...

RIP LAYNE AND Baker

[WeDieYoung1083]

I have a bootleg of Layne singing "I nearly lost you" with the Screaming Trees. There's a video of it on youtube, but it only shows like 5 seconds of the song. The full thing kicks ass.

[k4aic]

OMG I have been looking for that FOREVER!!! Can you load up to here?? OMG that would be awesome. I bet that bootleg kicks total ass!

[mihait39]

@WeDieYoung1083 is it the full version? could you please upload it and give me a link?

[Chesenips980]

@WeDieYoung1083 Dude, upload that shit. I have wanted to see the full version since I seen the short clip like 3 years ago.

[trulysarcastic]

great album, one of the greatest singers/lyricists ever

[REDSOXNYG]

awesome song and album!!!!!!!!!!!!

[orgazm89]

i agree with you verymuch

[downthefaith]

Layne and mark together sounds soo sweet

[1cooltk]

[magda741612]

brak slow Layne Staley=guru

[shecat69]

For clear space and soundness of mind...Beautiful lyrics...Music just isn't the same without Layne...R.I.P. Layne you are deeply and sadly missed...OXOXOX

[realJG72]

New rock music is stagnant right now so true.

[aliceinsoundgarden]

Mark Lanegan and Layne Staley.... what a duet!!!

[uhhfuq]

deep........

[tjclt250r]

dahm is this song about a girl or about heroin???? he must have really loved her

[k4aic]

Layne will never be forgotten!

"Im Above"

RIP <3

One of the worst musical losses ever layne was inspirational and one of a kind

[TheDebilizator]

Rating 110 star

[TheDebilizator]

Fucking the best one, Layne&Mark

[marda7]

and you between

pedercino!

[TheDebilizator]

jebal bum ti sve po spisku

[SIKK01]

3 cheers for the REAL Mad Season. Not that Matchbox 20 ripoff. I was seriously PISSED when I heard they named their lame album Mad Season.

[davewah3]

you and me both man, you and me both.

[PezoCon]

@davewah3 no way.. they did? how gay.. fuck matchbox 20

[metalheadkev10]

@davewah3

i agree matchbox 20 dishonoured lanye they should be killed

[ksoper00]

amen brothers.

@davewah3 

[amentveddergossard]

Me too. And what a crap name for a band Matchbox 20- fuck em fuck em all

[DeathofSpecteR]

@SIKK01

What's a 20 matchbox?

;)

[jeproxwild]

BLUES!!! GRUNGE !!!!!

[SuperShizniz]

anyone can spit with some practice, but only a select few can sing like this, period.

[bloodbeast24]

This is my kind of music, fuck my generations "musical" creations.

[CocoPebblers28]

wow layne staley was a huge loss to music. His dynamic voice really made the music come to life. RIP Layne

[scottg777]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eyelessal]

only now do we know how turely blessed we were to have such awesome musicains like Layne and the other talent that came from seattle back in the 90s

[jebatalo]

great song....RIP

[brotherbuttcrack]

don't worry man, good music will return.  It's due.

[DubMantooth]

I hope you're right buttcrack. I cannot turn on KROQ in orange county, CA without hearing some bullshit teenie bopper wuss prettyboy band playing carbon copy tunes. What the fuck happened to creativity and devotion to music??? Now it's just get a chick hairdoo, get some meaningless tatoos and pretend you're a sex pistol. WTF happened to real music with real emotion???? I'm all for a fucking moratorium on rock music until musicians get their shit together.

[amentveddergossard]

Totally agree. You might disagree but bands like Green Day, Offspring, No Doubt they started all that shit. For me music died by around 96

[AICpantera]

RIP LAYNE STALEY AND BAKER

RIP (rock in peace)

[nitarbell]

RIP (rust in peace)

if you get the reference...

[AICpantera]

yeh, its a megadeth song

[nitarbell]

...And album.

[educ8tedhorses]

i get the reference but he had nothing to do with david mustaine..

[giorgeos]

layne's death really cheated all of us out of so much, happy he left this one behind..a LEGEND

[harlan1988]

i know this sounds weird but i really didnt think mad seasons recieved kudos enough,just thinking out loud!

[TilderyKoadil]

awesome. brings me back to the summer of 06/ my friend had just bought above. we were listening to it on the way to NYC to see Alice in Chains at the bowery ballroom.. AWESOME SHOW

[jnsnkshsbdb]

i so love this

[ComputerTooth]

True 90's

[Alphadexx]

man i love staley

[hOOdilol]

damn its so good to listen to this record again, i have the original CD bought with my own money like 8 years ago when i was trying to gather more stuff about alice in chains i ran across this record, saw the lineup and inmediately bought it.

[cuse1726]

90s rock i miss it so much you cant even call alot of todays music music cause it sucks that bad

[xJayWalkerx]

cuse1726

so true...... :(

[obiez]

Queens are trying to keep it together. Keep an ear out, it's coming back, believe me it is.

[bradvuke]

good rock music comes in peaks it goes up, then it comes down, we've endured the lowest peak ever, and when your down all the way you can only go up, so expect so crazy shit soon.

[rr5n]

God I hope so, It's been shit since '99.

[jordan10la]

Yeah really. Especially since I was still a baby when all this good shit was new I'm really due to hear some good music while the bands are together and no ones dead.

[DubMantooth]

Fucking great to hear that someone of your age recognizes truly good music and won't settle for the absolute fucking crap on today's airwaves.

[renesonce]

yeah,... i agree... music is in the toilet right now... by comparison of course... they were heady days...

the sound of the time copied and twisted into some sick commercial sound plan...

[Visor1210]

it better do we've been waitin 4 years

[alicenchains87]

Layne Staley owned it and killed it every time hid a mic in his hands!!!!

[roseagain2]

Love this song!!!

[LeilaniBobst]

this dude could really bring it
