Alice In Chains - Dam That River - Frankfurt, Germany 2-2-93

[ItHurtsWhenIPee100]

Does anyone notice there's less bass when the video zooms in? The sound quality is better when it's zoomed out.

[MrTufflong]

inez is on bass.you could tell..the sound is different.

[cbarrett34]

is that mike inez on bass?

[GotMeWrong1984]

@cbarrett34 That's a good question, it's really hard to tell because of the video quality. I know Inez was with the band in May of 93 (the Jools Holland Show performance) so this is right around the time the guys made the change. Checkout DanielinChains on here, I'm pretty sure he has the whole show uploaded.

[cbarrett34]

@GotMeWrong1984 i think mike was fired in early 93. so maybe he did play this show. maybe was fired soon thereafter

[mhuki]

@GotMeWrong1984

the last gig mike starr played with them was in rio 93 jan whilist they they were playing with ozzy ozzbourne whilist minke inez was his bass player

[ItHurtsWhenIPee100]

@cbarrett34 yes. it is Inez

[Hixlol]

@cbarrett34 It is Inez, search "Alice in Chains - Live in Frankfurt (02.02.1993) HD" and you will see Inez's hair at the beginning, and the way he stands gives it away also.

[AzhiaziamL]

@cbarrett34 Yes. That's Inez

[whpriol1]

[AliceMudGarden4life]

alice in chains GODS OF METAL

[Gutrammer]

Grunge! ;)

[BluegrassBlues]

dont disgrace their art with the term "grunge." Grunge really isnt a legit category of music . Each band of the grunge era sounded different with different influences. AIC is a metal band man , theyre just a product of their time. So people call them grunge.

[commercep]

Well I agree that each band of that era had it's different influences, but AIC was so Soundgarden influenced. Jerry used to follow Kim Thayil like a sick puppy. He loved that dropped D tuning. No criticism I love that sound. But the bands all fed off of each other.

[roarinflames]

kim thayil rarely used just one tuning

hes the reason i gave up trying to learn any soundgarden

too many wierd, exotic tunings

[codebabe]

same here. i think cantrell is the better lead player/solosist between them but i enjoy them about equally. Soundgarden and Alice in Chains kick equal ass!

[iwatchfites]

you do realize every aic is is in a half step down, not drop D

[olivertheshit]

yep!! fukn luv it

[ZeitOner]

cept like over now which is d flat

[funk49rob]

Technically, its 430 and with the drop D tuning of this song, it is D flat.

Dam That River, We Die Young & Them Bones are all drop , which is why they are all played in that consecutive order live.

[linoyvesbenjamin]

well, this song could easily be on Stone Temple Pilots' "Purple" album... i don't believe in genres either, but this song as well as most of A.I.C's songs definitely have THE early 90's seattle grunge sound/vibe that sounds fresh even still today!

funny thing about layne, i read somewhere he used to be a bassist, and guys used to laugh at him when he started singing. ironicly, he became one of the best rock singers ever existed. what a guy! bless him!

ps. metal my ass!

[GotMeWrong1984]

Where did you read that he played bass? I know he played drums before he started singing, but never heard anything about him playing bass.

[linoyvesbenjamin]

maybe it was the drums then

[sparklyjbug]

it was the drums dude.

he was a drummer.

[codebabe]

STP i think had heavy alice in chains influence. possibly without knowing.

[xxblksabbathxx]

yeah Drums, if this isnt metal than im not human

[linoyvesbenjamin]

grunge metal, perhaps?

[survogis]

Metal ;)

[adook]

grunge-rock-metal ! ^^
