Alice In Chains - Check My Brain (Music Video)

[AdeptScholar]

With no Staley, I am surprised this band is calling itself Alice in Chains and not something like "The Jerry Cantrell Band", as one who grew up with the "original" Alice In Chains knows without Staley, it isn't Alice in Chains...

[grUngEroX1991]

This is the best vid to watch with the youtube lights out

[chiller997]

this song is perfect in every way

[grUngEroX1991]

Fuck cee lo green.

[akhilgupta86]

@loganman2010 Kiss my brown ass, beiber ass

[loganman2010]

Metal is so gay....bieber is my hero and he makes me feel special inside....bieber is the best musician of all generations.

[brownspottedbanana]

@loganman2010 you like metal enough to come to this page and listen to it >:D

[Foxireas8]

@brownspottedbanana Orrr ... orrr ... OORRRRR! He's just a troll :P

[brownspottedbanana]

@Foxireas8 by 0:03 he had his ass kicked by the sheer kickass of AIC, fucked up his neurons, and accidently wrote some gay shit >:D its not his fault

[RandyEats12]

THIS SONG IS THE TITZ!!!!

[DarthMohammed]

Best Alice In Chains since Dirt.

[IrishMetalCop]

I wonder if Gibson pays Jerry to use an SG in this video. Saw them live and he had an LP.

[SeraphimPwnsU]

150 people miss Layne and Mike. RIP guys.

[MTnormous]

RIP Layne and Mike Starr. Glad Jerry made it and this song is clearly a testament to the strength he has.

[TheGrungeDungeon]

Great song. Duvall can't replace Staley, but I'm glad their still making music and performing. And this song ain't half-bad.

[MrHuskerAl]

Hey assspole, this isn't Alice.



[TheTexasSlug]

@MrHuskerAl AMEN...gee aint funny how layne dies and 7 years later the completely over haul thier image? its like if dave grohl and kris tried got the band back together just used kris to sing for kurt...just dont fuckin work..almost alice almost...

[applehacker12303able]

why does it stop at 2:29

[sacrifyce4]

DuVall is no Layne, but hes pretty great. I think its cool that the AIC guys didnt try to find a "Layne sound alike" they picked a guy with a totally different vocal sound. i hope they continue to make new music.

[darthsud]

Listen to Pantera 10's. Very similar opening riff, also a great song.

[MrDickyBingo]

Mint- was watchin these at the AM Ring- great set, great band.

[SLASHdaROCKER]

OK, I can get that people miss Layne, I do to. But guys come on! You have to get over it. Duvall is amazing! He has a great voice, sings the old songs amazingly well and his harmonies with Jerry are killer! There is no one as good as him for AIC, so stop bitchin cos this album is fantastic. If you guys like criticising, listen to popular modern music, now that's something worth criticising!

[EricPaquin2]

love this song 

[MrROTD]

Shut up already, AIC is still great without Layne so quit your whining

[donniedukes1]

Love it!



[MrYoulikeadajuice]

I was the guy waiting in line to trash the new AIC lineup.  But if you have any iota of musical knowledge and/os sensibility, you'd have to say that this song fucking rocks, as do about three of the other tunes on this newer record. The rest suck, but I chalk that up to the Layne Staley discount.

Last of My Kind, Lesson Learned, Take Her Out and the first single plus this are classics.

[brotherzombie]

If you like this kind of music, check out the NEW Rock release "Shades of Revolution" and the song "Whoodoo Voodoo"

[WEBEJAMM1N]

is this justin bieber

[ghostae138]

@WEBEJAMM1N You are an obvious troll. Game over. Please insert coin, and try again.

[thewarofworlds]

@Dev1n77 thats a beast idea

[Dev1n777]

Hello metalheads. i propose a plan.

1. Don't bash other metal artists, we must unite! We cant fight against pop music if we arent even together

2. Watch more and more metal videos to get it to the top of the youtube vid list

If you like this idea, thumbs it up JUST so people can see it, and also spread it around if you like this idea

Lets show that metal kicks ass!

Copy this text in every Metalvideo you watch and we´re getting the power

[MrxskylineRB26]

@Dev1n777

alic in chains is not metal bro lamb of god is metal. alice in chains is alternitive rock

[wifeSmasher3797]

@Dev1n777 I have another plan. How about we stop these "cut and paste to all other metal videos" comments and ENJOY THE SONG that other people want to listen to? I'm tired of reading comments bashing pop and hip-hop or whatever. YouTube video lists are just the ranked popularity of recent uploads on the site. Who cares about what it has to say? You don't "fight" against pop. Music is not a war.

R.I.P. Mike Starr and Layne Staley.

[jizzle765]

@wifeSmasher3797 NICE

[foxwilliammulderx]

@Dev1n777 Cut and copy... Good way to express true indavidualism. Cut and copy this, FUCK EVERYBODY< BE YOU!!!!!!!!! Fuck what others think of metal, real metalheads know this. We know it kicks ass, they don't thats how it is.

[jjc19461]

@Dev1n777 Fuck you, were just trying to watch this music video. Nobody cares about metal overpowering pop. Go back to your WoW game.

[scwilson469]

@jjc19461 HAHA that was an awesome closure there...Go back to your WoW game.

[jjc19461]

@scwilson469 GO BACK TO YOUR FAG GAME BITCH HAHA OWNED!

[scwilson469]

@jjc19461 yeah...I saw that and I was like a) prolly does play WoW b) Pwned

[estoesesto4]

Layne is dead ok! Peace for himself! Garbage heroin ok!

Jerry Cantrell Rules from the new album of Alice.

[bloodsurrogate]

r u fucking kidding me! an ad thats 2 minutes long????

[FieldswordShinobi]

@bloodsurrogate never seen any ads ever

[joeycrow]

So every one knows the new lead singer was chosen by layne before he died. soo stop hating.

[MyJunior1975]

@dimes4ever420 Jerry Cantrell is the creative mind, driving force and sound behind Alice In Chains. Without him, there is no Alice In Chains!

[totsmcgoats12]

@MyJunior1975 But Layne was the soul!

[MyJunior1975]

@totsmcgoats12 I agree with you on that, but Jerry was still the heart of the band. There were two members that were replaced in a fifteen year period, but it's still his band. Similar to AC/DC's situation- Malcolm and Angus are the creative forces behind that band as well, and they have replaced just about everyone in AC/DC.

[Stranglehold185]

@MyJunior1975 - Malcolm and Angus are the creative forces behind AC/DC from a musical standpoint, but Bon Scott was the force putting lyrics to that music. If you compare anything that the Youngs have written from Flick of the Switch on, the lyrics to the songs took a steep downturn.

[MyJunior1975]

@Stranglehold185 However, the album that you named "Flick Of The Switch" was when they thought it was a good idea to produce their own material (Bad idea!!!). Their worst albums from the '83-'89 period was when they continued to take charge of production. The quality started to rise when they turned over the reins of production to Bruce Fairbairn on "The Razor's Edge" (in which they were the sole songwriters) and Rick Rubin on "Ballbreaker"- both highly underrated in the AC/DC catalogue.

[422Krazy]

@MyJunior1975 jerry and layne.....

[bdassvids]

@MyJunior1975 agreed, rip

[CraigRattleHead]

@dimes4ever420 YOUR A FUCKING CANCER \m/

[philipcoker1]

RIP LAYNE AND MIKE.

Awesome song and video and album.

[78GoldCoast]

Fuck yeah Alice are back

[StarQueenEms1994]

This is awesome! I love this song A LOT. Sounds just like the old Alice In Chains...it's great! :)

[RandyEats12]

This is awesome!!

[estoesesto4]

Fucking heroin drugs ok! Disappear this drugs in you brain!

LLLIIIVEEE JERRY CANTRELL! THIS IS THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR!

This sound autentic Alice in chains thak you so much Mr. Cantrell.

[deejayehn]

Where are you at Darin Lamb? Come out of your methadone haze...

[boyashocka]

[BananaRama302]

[utubenoob29]

Remember when you could watch a video without having to sit through a commercial?

Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO?

Remember when all the info was to the right of the video?

Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars?

Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

Remember when the users controlled the site and not corporations?

Post this in every video and lets start a youtube revolution!

Thumbs up to keep at the top of the page!

[75B01]

@utubenoob29 waaaah. Get Firefox and ad block the commercials

[Tr3y00]

Im not asking vevo not to adds of artists next to videos. Im just saying change them according to genre. For example, instead of a lady gaga ad beeside of an Alice In chains video, put an add up of a band that lies near or in the same genre as AIC.

[75B01]

@Tr3y00 or you could get firefox and not even see advertisements :o

[Tr3y00]

@75B01 i meant the picture on the side, not the ads before the video

[lopatamd]

this song/video is fucking brilliant...

[andrewkenworthy]

i dont understand it, how come on every videos there is a plug for lady gaga,,thats not fuckin write,,that fucking sucker of satans cock knows no fucking shame..talentless fucking she male.

[asasas121212Q]

William Duvall & Jerry Cantrell switch off every once in a while.

[DarthBaneForever]

@jesusarce30 other way around bro

[WombatBallZ]

damn.gaga is uglier than marlyin manson

[100Lavender]

duh its from the 90s.. or really late 80s

[Iamfukenripped]

OMFG i realised that Alice in Chains are AWESOME..... Layne I love ya dude and youre sorely missed... but Im so thankfull that The band is still churning, giving us some of the best music around for this decade, cos come on lets face it, everything else is a load of toss. I'm sure Layne is happy knowing that people like us are still getting our fix of good music and aint bumming out too badly about leaving us in the shit lol, along with kurt and others :).

[anish220]

@Anytime99: Now it's been replaced by Ladyboy Gaga! Fucking idiots!

[Paramore4everrrr]

looks like something from the 90's

[antjuanoden]

Long Live AIC!

>> I hope they their great great grand kids carry it on for the next 500 years!!!

Rip Layne. Long Live Alice in chains!

[a1201h]

I like this song...and i miss Layne really bad. He was genius in his despair.

[fishn2gthr4ever]

If the fish are not biting put on some Alice in chains! And be ready to yell fish on!

[Tim666ify]

[link116100]

145 sad souls were looking at Lady Gaga's face beside the vid and hit the dislike button

[ImTehSlenderMan]

145 people need to check their brain.

[MrJOverton]

i think they play alot better. ALL the shite they play now. Dont get me woring good old Rock and havey metail is the best. All you have now is the wont abes Punk ass hip hop guy danices fuck up shite. And oh my god the little tweeny teen bull shite. Good old head banging hard rock lod rock will live for ever.

[poeticpoverty]

quit comparing Layne to William... their 2 different people and Layne will never be replaced, a great band needed to move on and continue to put out great albums, He's just the new singer, not a replacement. Layne will always be Layne... You don't see anybody comparing Bon Scott to Bryan Johnson or Dio to Ozzy.. Just quit bickering and enjoy AIC

[ACDCman1727]

@poeticpoverty Brian*

[NicoleLola2]

sweet!

[c8m8rowreck]

LONG LIVE WILLIAM DUVALL AND THE NEW ALICE IN CHAINS, POSEURS

[RhysieKup]

i dont see why people are so mad that bieber's face is here. it means he needs Alice in Chains's face to get any kind of exposure anymore.

[kisshomedotnet]

This song is so great, especially with headphones at 10.

[happyhayaodansen]

@kisshomedotnet

I put mine up to 11.

[bushmaster3mtae]

Great song!!! Great band RIP LAYNE!!!!

[plucion81]

why do people care about what other people think this music is compared to fine art and if you dont hear it then dont listen to it i have heard enough about the new world order money backed gay pop music that i feel the need to head bang are you with brothers bring back layne and kurt and lets start a fire with the corperate money and mosh around it

[lurch321]

Layne's replacement DIDN'T make Layne spin in his grave.....................inst­ead, Layne is watching the band with a smile now. END OF DISCUSSION!

[Phillies416]

@lurch321 Layne we gettin high and jammin this shit hippy love grunge fest motha fucker, RIP buddy the old and new music rocks!~ see u in grunge heaven soon :) and thats the end of it! :)

[rickcintron]

@lurch321 I agree Layne is gone and im sure he is thought of every day of there lives and many others but I am sure he is looking down with a Smile,.. and Besides The rest of the Band deserves to move on in life, They Are Still Alice in Chains more then ever...

[roxymrrsn]

@lurch321 Umm Jerry is the only reason they survived,he sounds identical to Layne,not the replacement

[dragonfistX200]

145 people have no brains to check

[NoName9410]

@dragonfistX200 yeah because they like gaga,bieber, p.diddy and other lossers

[1TheBusyBody94]

Just watched the season 4 opener of Californication, this song fits soo fucking perfectly

[clintonwood66]

All right look people i have hurd Alice in chains growing up ok i was born 1989 and theay where around way before i was born ok and i have to say Layne Stanley and the band sound like something that is a one's in a life time sound ok just like Boston and BRAD Delph [More than a feeling]. people need to start giving ideas on how to pic some one with the same voice and sound as the guys who pass before them or some one that has the same hart for music and want to make it good for all .

[EternalLies]

William is a great singer. Nuff said.

[korno96]

@EternalLies he may be, but he is not layne

[EternalLies]

@korno96 The guy never claimed to be Layne.

[heynow6999]

Why can't people just like Alice in Chains for who they are now? Jerry is the real mastermind behind Alice anyways, he wrote the Songs! Layne was an Awesome singer but he is gone. Nothing will replace Layne, love Alice in Chains with Layne on Vocals, but it is the past. This guy with Jerry is a New Alice. If you don't like him then why are you listening to it anyways. Get over it

[residentswat]

CALIFORNICATION BİTCHES!!!!

[MHidee]

AIC, absolutely the greatest band ever, Jerry, Mike, Sean and Will are top notch musicians and all around great guys.I miss Layne very much, a talent that you only see maybe once in a lifetime. AIC Forever !!!!!!!

[the1andonlyDonut]

[woodsman513]

@the1andonlyDonut Not just no but Fuck no

[onics]

Please stop fu*kin' around with dead musicians! Time runs and things evolve, period! Just love it or not!

[Zerstorer84]

Why are people hating on Layne's replacement? Seriously, Layne is dead. There's no way around that. You're hating on this guy, but you neglect the fact that Layne basically killed himself. I hate to sound like an asshole, I love Layne, but I don't believe this new guy deserve to be hated.

[Jlo83live]

@Zerstorer84 Here is why I don't really like him.

His treats beloved songs like they don't mean anything to him. He sings them like it's a gig to entertain fans. I don't think he connects w/ the lyrics at all. When he sings songs that deal w/ depression he acts like he couldn't be happier. I can't tell you how much this annoys me. For a lot of people these songs have been a lifeline. He needs to stop treating them like he's singing "Livin' la Vida Loca".

Thumbs up?

[opp861]

@Jlo83live Why did you put thumbs up after that? That was so out of place. I liked the old guy better but this song is not all that bad also you have to think of the other members too they still have to make at lest a bit more money on the band before they retire.

[jjc19461]

i get a queens of the stone age - go with the flow video vibe to this, anyone else?

[Keeleycide]

@jjc19461 Yeah me too! The greens and reds :)

[dalecampbl9]

if Layne had sang this song, it would've been even better

[rickinlaf]

This makes my balls tingle.

[soilspider]

so fucking awesome, love AIC and Nirvana

[halojames1]

145 people need there brain checked.

[Kovayne]

YES!! Thank goodness AIC is back and here to stay(specially now that we all in dire need of real rock music)HELL YEAH

[heavysunn]

@Kovayne AIC Bro!! The only good band left from the 90s, Pearl Jams new stuff not very good, and Cornell has lost his voice . Thanks Jerry!!

[28crazyguy]

vid is awesome

[EternalLies]

THE RIFF IS HEAVY AS FUCK! WELCOME BACK ALICE IN CHAINS!

[kenman1717]

i really like this song. i really think william duvall sounds like layne in this song, but not in some of the other new stuff. glad they got back together with a new singer and put out a kick ass album.

[bonko270]

The guitar is F'ing haunting me...it sounds like a chainsaw coming at you! love this $#!^!!!!

** Nice to see AiC back in the saddle again..... i was lost with out them and now..... life is good again ! **

[loganman2010]

143 people should check then recheck thier brain.

[catlovr65]

Sorry people,..good f**n tune but,...all I can hear is Jerry Cantrell,....sounds just like his solo stuff,...which is fine by me,...

[Jenna1650]

I think that everybody that are still living should live. If you die it is not good to us, but we live on! GIVE IT A REST! I belive that hate for not letting people live on only hurts the people that die, because there legecy dies with them. Only if you give people a chance, can the essence of the dead live on. The way Layne died is DUMB! But he wa a good singer. Maybe he could been great,If he gave it a chance. He died in his prime. There is nothing we could do about it!!!!!

[rickinlaf]

This isn't about Layne or Kurt or anyone or anything but this song, this video, this version of Alice In Chains.

This shit rocks. That is all.

[Abidi09]

VEVO needs to get AiC to check their brains after putting JB next to this vid :O

[DissectorofGirls]

Even after all this band has been through, they still kick ass.

[business555]

i love layne and kurt man, they were so similar but at the same time different...r.i.p

[Livingrockband]

I NEED YOUR HELP! If anyone has a moment come to my page and tell me what you think of my original songs. I would very much so appreciate the help! Thanks if you decide to!
