Compare this to Dave Grohl when he sings Pretender. I honestly don't understand that guy- why create a song that you refuse to sing live?? Sure, you don't want to ruin your voice for the other songs, but how about he plays it last? Did Layne here pussy out? FUCK NO!!
he's a great vocalist, the song reflects a male's personal battle from within and he can't get out of it because he doesn't know how to or how he personally feels because he walks on a thin line between two thin tightropes.
LMAO at earlier comment by MrGeorgios2020...it starts off, '@mrgeorgios2020' XD! If you are gonna try to fake compliment yourself, dont sign into your own account to fake getting a compliment! XD
In my opinion this is rated in the top five live performances of a lead rock-vocalist of all times. This is Layne Staley in full bloom, screamin' his guts out on stage like never before or after. It׳s simply stupefying. I can watch this over and over again and it would amaze me every time as if it was the first. Alice are at the height of their energy here playing at home for their fans. Darkly epic, rare jam, what else can one say?
@Elad0284 The power and the range of Layne's voice is awesome. None like it before or since. Absolutely the best front man of any rock group, e v e r.
@danathor99 I dont care what they started as fag...their not glam here anymore. and we like the grunge alice in chains!!! they didnt get fame or known for GLAM! so shut up! you fag glam lover butt blaster!!!
@tricksterD8 How can you like Alice in Chains when your slagging them off in the same sentence... BTW Grunge isn't a music genre it is/ was a style, AiC were rock/ alternative... seeing how little you know of them you can't be that much of a fan...
@danathor99 you knew what i ment still. didnt you. ha soo yeah....and i dont care what you think of me being a fan....glam is a style too. i just thought you would know that tho. you made yourself look uncool. glam lover.
@tricksterD8 "Following the demise of his band Sleeze in 1986, vocalist Layne Staley formed Alice N' Chains, a band which he said "dressed in drag and played speed metal"."
Great early raw version,Layne sings his guts out!, how manybare their soul like this?FUCK ALL! Bring this man back!Rock needs a kick like this now,and make the drugs legal,and pretty soon EVERYBODY will realise Heroin addiction is a FUCKING DRAG,and it won`t be such a big deal! WAKE UP PEOPLE,{ Law makers & their tiny minded assistants} Anyway this is GREAT.
While bands like Motley Crue were on the DR Feelgood tour. Something was brewing in the Pacific Northwest. It was grunge music and here it is one year before it exploded.
@hallmitchell Hey bro, you tell it like it is. I dig this stuff, but it doesn't compare to JayZ, Kayne West, Snoop Dog or Beyonce. That is what I call music bro.
@MrGeorgios2020 you serious??? this music shits on everything you mention even though i grew up listening to rap and hip-hop. i should have been listening to this when i was living back in the early 90s
As much as i love hair metal. I can perfectly understand why acts like this killed them stone dead. Amazing talent. What a vocal and guitar talented band!
@hallmitchell This is OK bro but I don't think it is as good as hair metal. Grunge bands were not known for their guitar of vocal skills. At least hair metal bands could play and put on a great show. These guys were losers, as were bands like Nirvana Pearl Jam. The best music in the arly 90's was Detroit and German techno (and some hair metal bands) Grunge sounds all the same. That's why the movement only lasted one or two years.
@MrGeorgios2020 If you did your research you would know that Alice in chains was originally a glam rock band (also known as hair metal) So you think Layne can't sing, Jerry can't play the guitar with skill? Think Eddie Vedder can't play either?(Have you heard about his solo's?) "Grunge" was a dumb umbrella term, created for morons to use all the time, you can't describe all the bands in Seattle back in the 90's like that, they all had their different musical styles A.I.C=Metal, Nirvana=Punk
@TheNullkillz Thank you! I thought i was the only other person who tried to stress that Grunge was only a name record companies used to lump all the bands together despite them being completley different.
You could argue that the scene in the 90's was "grunge", like the generation X'ers, but the music was certainly not.
@ChaplainDMK I see your point, but if you look back at some of the early demos they made that are on youtube, you can see the glam rock shining through. "King of the Kats" is a good example I'm more talking about the songwriting and the technicality later on there, it's so different to Glam Rock around 1990. It's one thing to be able to cover Alice in Chains songs (which aren't that hard if I'm honest), but to come up with these melodies and lyrics in the first place is another thing.
@tricksterD8 ok the look may be glam but the style isn't glam, get over yourself and go comment negatively somewhere else where the music is ACTUALLY bad.
@evildmanarc So you do know I was replying to someone's comment about that right? I was not saying Alice in chains was a glam band. I was saying glam bands are gay and alice in chains are cool! so get over yourself and get your crap strate dude..
My sister loves that little queer Justin Bieber. She thinks he's the greatest singer of all time. What a fuckin' insult stacked on top of a thousand insults. Justin sings at the same tone in every song. Layne and the other greatest singers can get to a high tone. And she said that Kurt Cobain deserved to die. What a fuckin' bitch. Kurt loved music and wasn't in it to steal peoples' money from their wallets. Justin is a fuckin' thief.
Compare this to Dave Grohl when he sings Pretender. I honestly don't understand that guy- why create a song that you refuse to sing live?? Sure, you don't want to ruin your voice for the other songs, but how about he plays it last? Did Layne here pussy out? FUCK NO!!

Glam rock/metal is the most basic form of rock there is, there's not much technicality in it...
And anyways, the only member of Alice N' Chains that was later in Alice IN Chains was Layne.
