I always laughed at this song's chorus when I heard it as a kid. It made me think of some guy trying to mug some big soccer mom, and getting a huge beat down in return. Only now do I understand the connotations of the lyrics, which makes it quite a poignant rock ballad.
Looking at the pic in the video, it's hard to imagine a bunch of badasses like that would sing a song titled "sunshine", but they rocked it. Damn shame Layne is gone.
Best sounding duet by Layne and Jerry on the vox at 1:56... Damn, that's really true talent... Such an inspiration. R.I.P. Layne, you will be strongly missed. :(
when I hear this old music I remember how the world felt in my young eyes.....now it feels like something I don't want to see anymore. Its all attitudes of dominance, working harder for less, no chance of ever moving upward, corporate takeover, materialism equals your worth, sexuality as a weapon but thats ok. Its OK because I changed myself and stopped the cycle of what this culture conditioned me to do.
@222Lightning hey mate only someone that lives in the U.S. would say that and if thats the case, then your government is to blame for that but all things aside we have something in common.... we both listen to great f#$kin music. i first heard this album when it first came out when i was 13 and i still thrash it out till this day. peace man.
greates namd ever not close. Layne is greatest vocalist ever but they may ALL be the greatest ever at there positions which is sorta astounding including backing vocals.
As hard as the band Godsmack tries, they will never be one tenth this good. Fuck all the contrived, third rate, A & R marketed Post Grunge crap. Staind want everyone of their songs to be "Down in a Hole". I wish their whole band would crawl down in a hole so I could throw dirt on them.
@337camo Yeah, what TheInappropriatenick said. It's on some weird bonus album that seems to be hard as hell to find in normal record stores. Best best is to get it online I guess.
@Antifaith29 i just looked it up and you're right. i dont own facelift so iam not 100% sure, but Amazon says it is #8 on the album. Either way it's a badass song...
You can have 30million followers or 200,133 leaders! Love chains always have and always will be my favorite band of all time. The lyrics blow my mind and I could feel the pain! Layne you are truly missed but not forgotten R.I.P.
it bothers me that this song has been on youtube for 4 years and has only 193,127 views...but rebecca black's song "friday" has over 30 million views and has been up for less than a month
@SoWachuWan right. We always want this music to be discovered, but with great underground music, it's that kind of "be careful what you wish for" philosophy.
ANOTHER bass player succumbs to drugs man, and only because no one will help out...I mean there's Pete, Paul and now Mike, let's not forget John Entwhistle, drugs plague bass players. I know, I am unfortunatly one. God rest both your souls Layne and Mike. Your troubles are experienced by many but understood by few.
Though I appreciate that AIC is still together and still doing music, Layne and Mike were great. His voice and Jerrys brilliance have made songs that stick with you to this day and you feel them in your body when you hear them.
I still listen to the old AIC everyday and I won't ever stop.
I know mike starr wasnt that big of a contributer to alice n chains sound but why did alice in chains take a big crap when he left the band? Suuuunnnsssshhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnneee. sswwwweeeeeeeeeeeettt looovee!!
after the solo when layne sings "i don't care no more"...damn i had some serious goosebumps. man, imo, he sounded best on facelift. lyrics weren't as good as dirt and jar of flies, but his voice in general went perfectly to this thrash sound. r.i.p layne miss you everyday.
jeah jerry has the right to go on with his life, but it just doesnt sound as great as the alice in chains with layne staley, what is wrong with that? everybody had a different taste
The problem with all this is only in the name. People have different opinions on if it's ok or not though. I simply think it's not right. Do like Rage Against the Machine to Audioslave. Call it something else if it's something else.
you are boring with this shit...layne is dead .alice in chains are not...the end...shut up.new album is great ,if you dont like it your just being stupid dickheads
OK, You know what LAYNE wrote the same amount of fucking songs as Jerry.
Jerry also said in an interview, that he "couldn't ever see himself replacing Layne" Well guess what, he did. That's so disrespectful in COUNTLESS ways. IF HE WANTED TO CONTINUE HE SHOULD HAVE CHANGED THE NAME OF THE BAND, and not just keep it to make more money off of it. DUVALL ISN'T LAYNE. Nobody will ever be, the band isn't the same.
@CHAINSWASLAYNES Layne is not replaceable given. But to say they can't move on is rediculous. Should AC/DC have quit after Bon Scott died? The only member of AIC still getting any play time was Jerry. If they don't move on who is going to keep this music going for the new generation...or we can let them keep eating corporate crap. I love Layne but I want my kids to fall in love with AIC and have a chance to see them live.
@jestersnkingssinger their new music is corporate crap! I'm sorry, but just because they have a new frontman singing the old songs, DOES NOT mean that they sound anything like they used too. DuVall can't touch Layne, not trying to be mean, but they have two completely different voices.. I like the original.
i've seen aic live when they just made the "replacement". the new guy (i have a problem with names) shocked the hell outta me! he is GREAT live. he is not layne. but can someone really be layne? neah! if the-new-guy will loosen up a bit to get the non-professional, non-sucky attitude that differentiate the rock stars from the rock gods, aic will be just the same again, and layne will stop spinnig in his grave. but the dude does have a really good voice, i'll give him that!
Best band ever. Even there new stuff is amazing. Even though Layne is gone i'm glad to see that they're still making music. But you can't beat classic Alice.
@ladyzeppelin1960............Fuck Dancoyotefagit. Layne Staley had the greatest voice of all time, and that's not just not me sayin that. millions know that layne had the greatest voice ever. Even if u think different....WTF am i talkin about ...go fuck urself. Layne Thomas Staley+ Jerry Cantrell=Godliness
People don't seem to understand what a creative force Jerry was, and is, for AIC. Why shouldn't he continue?! He was a HUGE part of the genius of all these songs. Without him, these songs wouldn't exist, and he deserves, and has the right to continue playing them with AIC. It would be a shame if he didn't. I love L.S. as much as the next person, truly. But you guys need to let up, for real.
@iowakiss1 You are absolutely fricking right! Jerry was and IS the creative force behind AIC. I don't get why people think he should just quit and do nothing. The world needs his musical genius. I, for one, am thrilled he is back and doing what he does best! Rock on friend!
@iowakiss1 Why can't you just seem to understand Alice in Chains died with Layne? Just because Jerry was a huge part of it (No denying that) doesn't make it the same thing. He should, by all means, continue. Even with the rest of the band if they really get along and want to continue making music together. Just don't call it Alice in Chains, don't bring in some new guy, don't sing Layne's songs sorta like Layne would sing them. That's where I think you and he are wrong. It's a shame that he is.
@iowakiss1 first 5 albums rock. the new one's garbage though. WTF is wrong with jerry's guitar playing? he literally lost all his ability. the your decision solo! listen, it's awful. lessons learned, take her out, and private hell are all crap filler songs. he had 14 freaking years to write this album and i think he blew it. looking in view is pretty good, and last of my kind, but both would be infinitely better with more and better guitar! jerry can't even play the grind solo live anymore..
@19wayfarer19 Where do I even Begin? He has no emotion in his singing, no "dirtiness". Even the way he looks and moves around on stage... this dude belongs on American Idol, not as the lead singer of Alice in Chains the most badass band ever created. His singing isn't even that good on top of that.
@bcgabriot i second that man...no one can take staley's place...dont get me wrong duvall has a great voice but its no layne staley...i feel like he forces his voice to sound like layne...i will NEVER see AIC due to the fact that duvall is the frontman....if jerry took over vocals that would be a different story...Alice in Chains only existed when layne was alive
@riptorn311 thats what i try to tell myself....if i could block out duvall and just focus on jerry sean and mike id be fine...but untill i can get over my fear of seeing them play without layne, i will watch youtube videos and Unplugged haha
@iowakiss1 U are 110% right. MOST of the music/lyrics were all Jerry. Layne was one of the most powerful frontmen in the history of rock, but Jerry was the music behind him.
@iowakiss1 to me its not the fact that he want to keep going with his music career but its just not alice in chains without Layne, just like it wouldn't be aic without jerry
if your an AIC fan and you dont have facelift your not truly an AIC fan! best album ever made!

Best band ever. Even there new stuff is amazing. Even though Layne is gone i'm glad to see that they're still making music. But you can't beat classic Alice.

People don't seem to understand what a creative force Jerry was, and is, for AIC. Why shouldn't he continue?! He was a HUGE part of the genius of all these songs. Without him, these songs wouldn't exist, and he deserves, and has the right to continue playing them with AIC. It would be a shame if he didn't. I love L.S. as much as the next person, truly. But you guys need to let up, for real.

@iowakiss1 You are absolutely fricking right! Jerry was and IS the creative force behind AIC. I don't get why people think he should just quit and do nothing. The world needs his musical genius. I, for one, am thrilled he is back and doing what he does best! Rock on friend!

@iowakiss1 Why can't you just seem to understand Alice in Chains died with Layne? Just because Jerry was a huge part of it (No denying that) doesn't make it the same thing. He should, by all means, continue. Even with the rest of the band if they really get along and want to continue making music together. Just don't call it Alice in Chains, don't bring in some new guy, don't sing Layne's songs sorta like Layne would sing them. That's where I think you and he are wrong. It's a shame that he is.

@iowakiss1 first 5 albums rock. the new one's garbage though. WTF is wrong with jerry's guitar playing? he literally lost all his ability. the your decision solo! listen, it's awful. lessons learned, take her out, and private hell are all crap filler songs. he had 14 freaking years to write this album and i think he blew it. looking in view is pretty good, and last of my kind, but both would be infinitely better with more and better guitar! jerry can't even play the grind solo live anymore..

@19wayfarer19 Where do I even Begin? He has no emotion in his singing, no "dirtiness". Even the way he looks and moves around on stage... this dude belongs on American Idol, not as the lead singer of Alice in Chains the most badass band ever created. His singing isn't even that good on top of that.

@bcgabriot i second that man...no one can take staley's place...dont get me wrong duvall has a great voice but its no layne staley...i feel like he forces his voice to sound like layne...i will NEVER see AIC due to the fact that duvall is the frontman....if jerry took over vocals that would be a different story...Alice in Chains only existed when layne was alive

@stubhytime don't miss today, what you might miss for the rest of your life if you don't see them. Jerry alone is worth the price of admission.

@riptorn311 thats what i try to tell myself....if i could block out duvall and just focus on jerry sean and mike id be fine...but untill i can get over my fear of seeing them play without layne, i will watch youtube videos and Unplugged haha

@iowakiss1 U are 110% right. MOST of the music/lyrics were all Jerry. Layne was one of the most powerful frontmen in the history of rock, but Jerry was the music behind him.

@iowakiss1 to me its not the fact that he want to keep going with his music career but its just not alice in chains without Layne, just like it wouldn't be aic without jerry

@iowakiss1 You're right, Jerry is amazing...
But, for me personally, Layne Staley wasn't a member of ALC, but WAS ALC ! When he died unfortunately, ALC died too...
Jerry shouldn't continues with "Alice In Chains" name, but should takes another name...
I'm really affected by Layne's death...
Really really...
R.I.P Layne Staley (August 22, 1967 – c. April 5, 2002)
