  • David Bowie + Alice in Chains = Instant Ear Orgasm

  • This song was one of the songs Laynes sister sent me back in the days of myspace

  • wow such a weird version of it but i love this song

  • FUCKING AWESOME!

  • oh man if i dont hear this i probabyle dont belive in this

  • I LOOOOOVE Alice in Chains...but some songs just shouldn't be touched...Suffragette City is one of them

  • @TheTrueFranchise It's a cover, yuh know :P

  • @Insomniac10102 uh yeah...that's why I put some songs shouldn't be touched. Like DAVID BOWIES Suffragette City. Holla

  • @TheTrueFranchise Just makin' sure.

  • @TheTrueFranchise well the poison cover isnt bad

  • yeaaaaaaaah they've come to kill the HEY MAN

  • no way to find "Heroin" in some store?

  • The cover sounds even better live.

  • Great cover

  • AMAZING

  • Just doing some looking up and I've seen Red Hot Chili Peppers and now Alice in Chains covering Suffragette City, and I honestly don't get why people are tearing them apart. Personally I think it's quite amazing to see the influence Bowie's had on so many bands. :)

  • @Jezza40 here here!!!!!!!!!!!

  • David Bowie!!!

  • This shit made my sticker peck up!

    Thanks for sharing!

    and everyone quit bitching....and fuck Glee...and FEMA.

  • i love alice chains, i ahve all there music. it just sucks whats happened to them. oh well there will be some kick ass music in heaven.

  • demo's like this (if im correct) were recorded slightly faster than original (studio albums) recordings, you can tell in laynes voice.. either way.. fantastic

  • Not bad at all ...

  • I want Layne's hair, beard and sweater.

  • I love this song.

  • wow. what the hell is all this crap below me. i thought this was an alice in chains link....who the fucki are bignick 419

  • Gotta love trolls, this a great shit.

  • Who is singing, Jerry or Layne?

  • Love David, Love this song. i have always admired David's work. I really enjoyed this cover.

  • I love aic and lane but this sound like alven and the chip monks

  • @DanOlooney Don't plagerize. Keep your eyes on your own page!

  • @two9ertango whats it going to do

  • @DanOlooney It will keep you to original material, for starters. And it's "Layne" and "Alvin and the Chipmunks", fool!

  • i kinda like this version .

  • I'll fuckin smoke you like crack and heroin bitch.

  • HAHA that little pussy Keikocat2001 canceled his account. I guess thats the last time the bitch fucks with AIC fans. What a fuckin candy ass. and after I put all that work into my comment against him. ah well, wham bam thankyou mam!! punk ass bitch.

  • @DaveS12382 yea im sure your comment just really frightened him. i mean sure we all should be AIC fans but you dont have to go all apeshit on him for having an opinion. sure maybe he was trying to get attention but arent you really just doing the same thing by continuosly making comments after getting your point across?

  • @joshtheblueguy Thanks josh. I hope this doesn't make the other guys start stamping their tiny little feet and shaking their tiny little fists, even though they look adorable when they do it.

  • @DaveS12382 Davy, josh/blue is right - you scared me right off the 'net. Months and months of intensive therapy have convinced me and my doctor that I am once again ready to take on KISS/AIC fans ad nauseam. (Which is kinda how you make me feel.)

    It's good to be Queen! (K-girl)

  • @two9ertango I beleive you, you're obviously mentally ill. Can't tell if you're a female or a homo, but either way you are nothing but an attentioning seeking weirdo troll who has a very shitty taste in music. The favorites on your channel are a joke. Why don't you go listen to some Adam Lambert. Now sit there and take a few minutes to come up with something real clever to reply with like a good little faggot.

  • @DaveS12382 Baby, I own you! You have no way with words and nothing original to say. Gay slurs? Boy, your Special Ed. background is evident. I have mentioned that I have LadyBits all through this conversational thread. Read and retain. It's not that hard.

    So, what exactly do they teach you in Special Ed. anyway? I've always wondered. And how old were you before they let you use a pen when you played Connect-the-Dots?

    'Nite, Sweet Cheeks

    XOX, Keiko (a girl)

  • @two9ertango haha, oh my, you are brilliant, and how long did it take you to come up with that? was it all just off the top of your head? Everything from special Ed to read and retain to, and heres the kicker the "pen when you played connect the dots' comment. bravo. you're so clever. I'm so happy for you that you have youtube comment pages to use as a forum to show your wit and intelligence.Thats just fantastic, good luck with that. Thats not pathetic at all, and I'm sure you're one hot babe.

  • @DaveS12382 Dave, you are getting so good at this. Working with me is good tutorial.

    Well, I'd say it took me about 10 minutes to rattle off about 6 or 7 here, but only because I stopped to read my work and edit. And I had to check for spelling.

    And I am still pretty hot - the rack is great, but my ass is starting to go south. Well, what can you do?

    Yes, I make myself laugh all the time, being my greatest critic AND fan.

    So, it's been fun but I have stuff to do.

    K

  • @DaveS12382 So being homosexual is wrong now?

  • @downers4life yes, its basically a mental disorder due to abnormalities in the brain.

  • buen cover :E ♥

  • Very good cover!

  • Whoo, man! This is just SO better than Them Bones, Would and Down In A Hole.

    The AIC anno 1988-89 was so much better than the same band during the Dirt era.

    Facelift kicks ass, though.

  • I think the pitch is slightly too high here. The version I have, Layne's voice is deeper.

  • @toocheaptobuyatripod

    So, you're saying that his testicles eventually did descend? Wow, how old was he?

    Keiko ;

  • @two9ertango You can drop anyone's huevos with the help of Audacity. Try it on Bieber sometime! lol

  • @two9ertango Oh wait, I totally didn't catch that diss on the first read. Jerk!

  • @toocheaptobuyatripod Sorry. I feel like I ruined a really beautiful thing that was starting between us ...

  • Love David Bowie covers. lol A genius behind the genius.

  • haha, whatever cock gobbling piece of shit keikocat2001 was, his account seems to be "closed" now.

  • @anomalousclouds

    Hey people, it's not my fault - this just popped up and I had to look. It is I, Keiko, returned from the dead (almost literally). I just want you to know I will do that, but I don't do anal.

    Ciao bambinos!

  • I love Bowie, love the original...but this is really great.

    I saw this and was like "Alice? I can't even picture them covering this."

    Then I listened to it. <3

  • @jazzyjazmunro You can't picture it cause they COULDN'T cover it. That's the whole point of this conversation thread. Please, you're gonna have to start paying more attention in class.

  • obvious troll is obvious

    and likely enjoys alice in chains

  • Guess what?!? I just heard that an original AIC member is currently in Celebrity Rehab.

    I had no idea that they developed a 12 Step Progam titled "Being in a Band that Sucks".

    Poor guy - who is he going to apologize to first? And really, where to even start to make amends?! I originally thought it should be his childhood music teacher for keeping the delusion going, but now believe the major damage was probably done in utero. [Can he sue his mom for "wrongful birth"?]

  • SOME PEOPLE ENJOY WEARING ADULT DIAPERS AND HAVING A DOMINATRIX QUOTE AIC "lyrics" TO THEM. I WOULD THINK THAT JUST WEARING THE DIAPERS WOULD BE ENOUGH OF A PUNISHMENT.

    Wanna lick my boot?

  • Why is everyone such a bitch on here?

    Show some fucking respect.

    We shouldn't compete over bands and knowledge, just listen and appreciate it for your own self.

    Relax, people, relax,

    and stop going on to Alice In Chains videos if you're just going to bash them, that's your own opinion that we, the fans, don't care about

    Or at least try to be open-minded,

    It's a nice cover, and its nice to know that Alice In Chains digs David Bowie

  • @Tellowfurkey Even more mind blowing it that layne was in a funk cover band...like wait what?

  • @Tellowfurkey fuck yeah bro!!!!

  • and let's not forget the smiley face at the end

    :)

  • lol

  • Is this the Chipmunk version, or do they always sound like they just got kicked in the balls?

  • @keikocat2001 early demo, they were young, and the tape is distorted. there u go....thats the answer.

  • I was actually kind of kidding, but it is nice to know that they suck less now. I guess they should have waited till they were all the way through puberty before they did the demo.

  • im guessing they were.....but its mostly due to the tape being distorted from age....

  • your such an ass, shut the fuck up

  • The correct comment should be, "You're such an ass. Shut the fuck up!". Spelling and punctuation count. But I have to say, you're one of the more literate AIC fans on UTube. And that's saying a lot, because as a group you suck as much as the band :)

  • What the fuck are you talking about, you crazy ass?!?!? If you don't like Alice in chains..... then go listen to horrible slipknot or something.... because AIC are great

  • Before you talk crap about Alice in Chains I think you should listen to some real music. You can start by deleting that Glee video from your favorites.

    That's right people. A GLEE FAN is trying to tell us that Alice in Chains sucks.

  • I wasn't talking crap - I only speak the truth. And sometimes it hurts. I'm pretty sure I have more than one Glee vid.  And how could you fail to notice all my Adam Lambert favourites?

    You people are about as much fun as KISS fans. Oh, the things I've posted about KISS. One series of comments got me over 120 negs. Yup, over 120 people hate me and hope I die. Yet I continue to sleep well at night. Go figure.

  • Well, that's kinda weird, because I am a KISS fan. And if you get 120 negs, I'm obviously not the only one. If you don't like KISS, you obviously haven't listened to any or a limited amount of their stuff which is understandable if you're an Adam Lambert fan since you're probably between the ages of 7-14. And I'm guessing you've never listened to enough Alice in Chains either for the same reason. Adam Lambert won't amount to anything. KISS and Alice in Chains are rock legends.

  • You are dumber than a bag full of hair. Did I mention I SAW Queen and The Who w/Keith. How could I possibly be between the ages of 7-14? You like KISS, AIC and cannot master basic math. Definitely a KISS fan! Stupid to the core!

    [AIC rock legends? Now you're just embarrassing yourself!]

  • Um, no you didn't mention that, so don't act like you did. What kind of a Who fan likes Adam Lambert?

    And just the fact that you even brought Lambert into this suggests that you're between the ages of 7-14 to answer your question.

  • Check your homepage, genius.

    And don't bother replying, cause I'll just delete w/out reading. And I'd hate to see all that teenage angst going to waste :)

  • Oh now I'm the teenager now? Wow. I can't even reply. Just to remind you you're an ADAM LAMBERT fan and you're trying to educate me about music. Get a life.

  • Please don't compare us (or me, anyway) as AIC fans to Kiss fans - it's quite insulting :)

  • @FieryKane Ha, he deleted his account

  • @FieryKane HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­!!!!!!!! That's a fucking riot. Thats like the idiot who kept calling Layne Staley "GEL" I have no idea what thats all about, but he was telling us all he was a bigger fan when he dosen't even know his name! My two year old son knows who Layne is! EPIC stupidity lol

  • @BigNick419andholding Haha, yep you gotta love it.

  • @FieryKane Yeah, glee sucks!

  • @FieryKane hHAHA holy shit man, fuck glee fans

  • @sludgeism Yeah!!! and you wanna know the best part? the guy closed his account. LOL

  • @FieryKane

    Thank you for repping our shit and putting that dirt ball in his place...haha.

  • if you don't like Alice in Chains then you shouldn't be watching this video.

  • mg426426426 - Unless I watched, how could I have known AIC would be this bad? It's not like they get a lot of airplay, you know, like the way that good bands do.

  • dude go fuck yourself and get some help. you're a douche. go listen to some justin bieber shit and stop saying this bullshit about AIC. no one cares. there's a reason why alice in chains has sold over 17 million records.

  • I have no idea why they've sold 17 million records. Maybe because there are 17 million idiots in the world? Just a guess.

    And you obviously care, or else you'd stop commenting.

    Hey, points for spelling 'douche' correctly. Was it on your spelling list at school, or do you just remember it from your latest purchase :)

  • well, looks like it's you against 17 million idiots. good luck out there. And, yes, after seeing so many people call you a douche it would only make complete sense for me to spell it right. :)

  • Alright, cool. have fun arguing with 17 million other idiots out there! and say hi to mommy for me!

  • mg426426426: Forgot to mention I'm impressed. As it turns out, even after seeing the actual spelling, many AIC fans still copy it down incorrectly. It must be stupidity, as you can't ALL be dyslexic.

    Or, perhaps the two DO go hand-in-hand. Maybe a community college could commission a study to see if there is a link. I would not suggest lab rats for the control group. Think of what PETA and the Humane Society would say, as that's clearly cruel and unusual punishment (for the rodents).

  • Comment removed

  • keikocat2001 your a fag all you do in your free time is try to get in fights online. In reality your probably a little bitch.

  • What a good guesser. I AM a little bitch! A 5ft, 107lb woman.  And I LOVE starting on-line fights. You idiots take them so seriously. (It really is a lot of fun!)

    Quick, I think someone's dissing Metallica on another post - you must stop the carnage! Go!

  • ive got to start this back up...

    ...you suck

    (bring it you glee-watching adam lambert- listening justin bieber cock sucker!!!!!!!!!!!!)

  • Thanks for caring. I was starting to think AIC lovers didn't have the staying power of KISS fans. Turns out they are just sharpening their 'commenting skills' until they feel more competent defending a "better" band. And I use that term loosely.

    Also, even at this stage, so many have failed to grasp the 'thumbs up/thumbs down' concept, so necessary when you can't remember how to spell, "Fuck you!".

    Note: I stay skinny so that people won't automatically assume I'm American when I travel :)

  • LOL @ people who start fights on Youtube comments.

  • lol i was just messing with her

  • No man, I was talking about her lol.

  • ahh lol ok

  • @KurtInChains Hey KiC, It's been a while, but I'm back. Yes, I too love people who get wound up about UTube comment wars. You can practically see the residue from their spittle on the screen.

    Till next time, Keiko

  • not sure what any of that means, but whatever. :)

  • Ah, psycho826 - I was trying to keep the comment thread going, as it seemed to be important to you, but it's obvious now that I was too ambitious. I knew it was a mistake to use words and phrases that were over your head. (I had you pegged at about a 5th grade comprehension level - I see now that I should have aimed lower.) I really hoped you could keep up, but I was sadly mistaken.

    So, it ends here. Well, it was fun while it lasted.

  • @keikocat2001 I read some of your comments and i just wanted to say something that means alot to me and i hope you enjoy it....... FUCK YOU! You are truly a piece of shit. I have never meant a bigger dick faced, cock gobbling street whore of a person in my entire life. DIE.... okay im done, i heard the hansons have a new cd i thought it might cheer you up since fallout boy broke up and all.

  • @laynestaley1990 We haven't "meant". Nor have we met, which is what I think you wanted to say. But by all means, type whatever you want . Think it's going to hurt my feelings? I don't give a crap about what you think. You're just a bunch of obese fanboys with keyboard access. But you should try dealing with all that unresolved anger though. Perhaps meth or alcohol would help.

  • Just try to remember all this is coming from an Adam Lambert fan LOL

  • @keikocat2001 your the one bitching on a video of a band you dont like dickhead. your a fucking retard if you think theres one rock singer that you like that had the range or power that layne had. your clearly here to troll considering you have 3 friends since 2007. good work ass hole. dont you have something better to do "eh" ya canadian bastard. ill bet YOURE the fat fuck with all that bacon you shovel down your throat.

  • @keikocat2001 i mean you seriously like that piece of faggot trash adam lambert... what the fuck.... holy shit... i cannot believe some one who apparently actually has a shred of decent education likes such garbage... what the fuck dude??

  • @keikocat2001 Alcohol does help boy. You're a real cunt, why make comments if you dislike the band and think they suck? Could it possibly be cause you want attention by doing that? yes I think so. Why don't you go on videos you like and make positive comments about them, but then you wouldn't get as much of a response. What we have here is a desperate cry for attention that is so pathetic you resort to going to a bands page and demeaning them, What a fucking loser you are. Straight up bitch.

  • Comment removed

  • @keikocat2001 GO FUCK YOUR SELF.

  • Fuck reading just listen. Alice Rocks this track......Hard

  • wow, this is the big comment thread on this song.... screw that... Songs Great and AIC did a good job of covering it, early in their careers. I'm glad to have a copy of this and that AIC didn't just cover a song that everyone else does... good choice. and btw... im sure the large paragraphs prior to this one have good comments.. its just too damn much to read. Have fun and Keep rocking everyone!

  • YEAH!!! :-)

  • come on man, dont bash on the classics. that shit is where its at. its some of the best music ever. apparently aic would agree. music is getting progressivly worse. look at old school black bands..some of that good ol soul, u think those black dudes would ever think that their race would give up that genre and start rap? they would be disgusted

  • Look im a big fan of AIC ive got all theyre albums a few bootlegs and several EPs but i beleive this will always be a Bowie song AIC's version is good but nothing would be able to match up to the original

  • Layne sounds better than Bowie. so does Kurt on the man who sold the world.

  • @Zeppy67682 your right bout layne but sorry...kurt suuucked.... everyone thinks hes god when he couldnt play guitar good at all anf had no vocal talent... and they get to be crowned king of grunge when A. they suck and B. Alice had the "grungesound" before any one even heard of nerdvana.. but no one ever remembers alice its bullshit...thats why nirvanas fucking gay.,

  • I thought the demo was called Heroin.

  • heroins a fan made bootleg

  • i wonder wat bowie would think of this cover

  • i love how raw & edgy they sound!

    layne/jerry vocals fuckin rule!

  • Great version. Blitz did a great version as well. But nothing beats the original one.

  • I remember my father when I listen to this song... He likes David Bowie :) (by the way it's my dad's birthday!) ;)

  • WAM BAM THANK YOU M'AME jajaja, AIC EARLY STUFF KICKED ASS, mike starr era was awesome

  • this is alice in chains when they were so young and just having fun....great version.....both versions fucking rule this song is just a great rock song

  • its so cool this version

  • This is better than original!

  • Thats wat i said lol

  • lol, Jerry in the background with "Hey MAn" just kicks ass.

  • What the fuck are you talking about. This is a very silly version. In no logical way does it compare to Bowie's version. And this is coming from a AIC fan.

  • Dude, the original version was silly too. Bowie dressed up like a woman during his performances. Now that's silly.

  • Yeah, thats why I said this was a "very" silly version. The guitars and vocals are beyond rediculous here. Surely none of you are really telling yourselves this has a tenth or hundreth of the "quality" of the original.

  • As a matter of fact I am telling myself that. Want to know why? Because Alice made it original man. They made it good. Bowie's version wasn't bad, But nothing compares to Alice in Chains. They're where its at.

  • it has planty of talent... layne can sing way better than david... have you even heard their other stuff? hes got a set of pipes that david never had... david was to busy having sex with mick jagger anyways true story too.

  • @laynstayley1990. David Bowie did not have sex with Mick Jagger. Get your facts straight. Would it even matter is he did? He's a legend, and his voice is amazing and unique.

  • yeah he did... it was not that long ago... idc if you dont believe it its been confirmed you can look it up

  • And I'm guessing you also believe Michael Jackson bleached his skin. How gullable can you get? It's obviously a rumour. And how was it confirmed, huh? Did you read it somewhere on the internet? Because of course, everything on the internet is true. [I'm being sarcastic, just incase you didn't know]

  • how would i know... all i kno is his wife caught him in bed with mick and so have other people. hes never directly denied it. i mean sure it could be a romour but if any dudes gonna fuck mick jagger id lay my money on bowie. what are you a homophobe and cant deal with the fact that david mite sleep with a guy,,, ?? get over yourself.. dnt you have to fix your scene hair and listen to second hand serenade ?

  • First of all, I am not a homophobe, and I would appriciate it if you didn't acuse me of being one. David Bowie was never really bisexual. He admitted it in a biography. He said he said he was at the time because of his lifestyle and the bisexual movement that was current at the time.And just letting you know, there are other ways to express yourself than swearing. I would suggest trying to expand your vocabulary, because obviously you don't know much more english than a 10 year old.

  • so what your saying is hes a tool who just goes with whats "cool" at the time?either way its still lame. thats my opinion and i will fucking curse as much as i like.. i dont have to be refined or posh when talking to a bunch of idiots on the internet dont you have a new fad to go buy into or. idk some hairspray to buy? my opinion is that this version sounds like god played it compared to the original if you dont like it then i dont really give two shits, not that you would want them if i was ;)

  • i think its funny your calling him a homophobe when youre the one who was trying to bash Bowie with it and if he did so what im Bi we are exactley the same as everyone else and sadly you are potraying bisexuals as gross sex whores who want to have sexual interactions with the other sex for amusement and trivial gain which would be completely wrong and off subject your trying to turn what he says against him and you are failing miserebelly i have to say

  • @Juliancaesar1237 UUUUUM whaaat?? you have mental problems... i dnt care whose bi or gay or straight i just stated that mick jagger is the last person any 1 would want to fuck....and yea... you guys are getting all defensive about bi's so i think you are the ones who re insecure,,,dnt you have a blog to post or something??? take your whiney drama elsewhere...

  • see know your stereotyping and your calling me dramatic your the one who started this and how was the way i was staing my phrases dramatic i attempt to inject as much logic as i can into a conversation and sadly you cant me do a god damned thing for being on you tube so all i say is go to hell and yes my doctor says i have paranoia but that is not xactley a mental problem i have a doctorate degree in writing and english literature

  • you are a internet attention seeker, so what he's bi, so what if david bowie did sleep with mick jagger so fucking what?

  • yes, that's exactly why David Bowie decided to cover Alice In . . . oh wait, that's right, it was vice versa!

    Shit uni-band oriented fans fucking suck.

    Anyways, great cover, its fun in a twisted way. Not nearly as epic as Bowie, but its a great homage from a great band. i think i almost hear a horn section . . . maybe?

  • you wanna talk about making points?

    "Bowie sucks . . . you're wrong . . . you're stupid."

    . . . k.

    Bowie wrote one of the hookiest, quirkiest, most playful songs of all time in Suffragette City. His voice works perfect with it, same as Layne's works with AiC's material, its all based on the style of the music.

    And if Bowie was one of the worst artists in his time, why did Alice in Chains take the time to cover one of his songs.

    Alice still rules in their own way, btw.

  • prolly cuz they knew they could do it better... and further more i do not care what AIC thought of bowie i think hes shit... and thats my opinion because i am a different person thab you ,,, if you dont like it fuck off....to me he sux and that is the way it is... he sux led zeppelin black sabbath ted nugent rolling stones pink floyd jimi hendrix creedence clearwater... all so much better than him

  • @templeofcoy But not a music fan, obviously. Covers are just different interpretations of the same song. Some people like covers over the originals and vice versa. But no one is really better than the other.

  • Comment removed

  • HENRY GET OFF THE PHONE!!

  • OMG! This. Is. So. FUNNY!!! I bet that this is their funniest stuff!!! Hahahahaha!!! Never laughed so much! Ah, those lyrics!

    ;)) xD

    Aaaaaah, wham bam, thank you ma'am!!!

    ALICE RULE!!!

  • They didn't write the lyrics. They're David Bowie lyrics.

  • I know, I know, I'm just saying that their version is better, faster and funnier than Bowie's, and, BOWIE'S lyrics are nice, if you will! I like the way AIC are performing this song...=))

  • Layne was great
