Man In The Box

[Ariel62073]

I think more guitar players should play what sounds fucking cool instead of playing what looks impressive in a fucking math equation. 

I want a guitar player to make my pussy quiver. I don't want to be thinking of Bach's big brains.

[Ariel62073]

This is like WUH WUH WUH WUH WUH WUH WUH WUH WUHHHH.

[MindRiotGood]

Anyone else convince themselves that Layne is singing "Ahhh ah ahh, ahhh ah ahh, ahhh ahh ahh" about 52 seconds in?

[vladdii125]

Is his whammy bar working with some kind of magnet or something? 'Cause if you notice when he starts playing "Would" he uses it and every time he lets go of it, it goes right back to the same spot...

[WesMott1994]

So, who else sang along?

[jwhite50421]

jerry is a fucking beast layne RIP

[knektev]

jerry is the man!

[severelyKILLED15]

Never judge a song based on it's technique.

[varockcity1]

There are a lot of alike guitar chords out there as the market for being originial is getting harder and harder. Put the vocal on or off the guitar chord structure will not change.

[kolonnizado]

AAAAAAIAAIAIAAIAAAAAAIAAIAAAAA­AIAAAAAAWAOOOOOO

[varockcity1]

I guess they influenced Jerry some how or he just got lucky! So hard to come up with something totally original these days. So much music out there....

[varockcity1]

Wow the riff in the Chorus is a Rip off of the Chorus in Kiss DR. LOVE 1976. compare!

[Deddarth]

@varockcity1 Holy shit that sounds so close man, never realized that haha, nice catch

[pi55bier]

@varockcity1 Keep in mind you're supposed to be hearing Layne singing (during chorus) not so much the guitar parts. So the Kiss song and this sounding alike is merely a coincidence.

[SandpiperN121PP]

If he is... it is probably a Ibanez TS808HW Tube Screamer being it is the standard one he uses.

[Connradd100]

He's not really playing that.

There's a three-string jazz quartet behind the stage.

[stavroswrc]

what distortion pedal is he using??

[leandrodelvalhe]

2:20 little fail

[Zephyesa]

0.52 - 1.09 had my cat walking stiffly around in circles making that strange high pitched aggressive noise.

[FCValle]

the beggining sounded like unicorns barf

[ermonski]

into the flood again, same old trip it was baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack then...

[ermonski]

naaaa naaa naa naaa naaaa naaa naaaa naaa naaaaaaa

[TheSeether1313]

gotta love the bogner tone!

[tjm2433]

why couldn't my guitar teacher have been this cool

[jakisidiota2]

0:52 - gotta love it;)

[sindar72]

Set up???

[mad4mtl]

Great tone!

[Alexnchains16]

His tone is so intune

[loveAIClongtime]

I could sit here and watch this all day. Just thinking of Layne singing along is like heaven. Jerry is so awesome!!!

[Alize101586]

Mouth is wide open! Damn! Dude killed it! :)

[UMadUJelly]

Where is a good place to get decals?! Most the sites online suck ass.

[Kamikazekris100]

damn i love jerry cantrells style

[conn0r1994]

i can never make that stretch at 1;30 any advice? my pinkie only reaches the fret above

[seattlehawkins]

@conn0r1994 Get some drums!  XD

[TheHuMoCa]

@conn0r1994 did you try changing the position of your thumb?

[leandrodelvalhe]

It's incredible, don't matter how difficult a riff is, the "coolest" always win against the "hardest"

Kick ass riff!

[Shadowtjestalker]

@leandrodelvalhe Unless the hardest is the coolest.

[buddy58691]

man that guitar looks soOo.....grundge man lol i would love 2 have that guitar lol i can't stop lookin at it

[UMadUJelly]

@buddy58691 I just bought a Rampage. Shit is sick bro.

[07haddju]

Hahahahaha I love how some people on here don't know this is Jerry Cantrell. I also love how fast he went from c# no war to blue dress

[valdivia562]

no no no jerry the riff is wack and everyone knows that this songs is sick for the vocals

[rockhurstalum09]

thanks for the post

[SINARO1]

can i find this on DVD?

[EBEGI]

Nice G&L guitars! I have 7!!!

[flakittycat123456789]

great song!!!!

[flakittycat123456789]

greath song!!!!!

[D3m0nhunter719]

His tone is flawless.

[AGP12345]

@D3m0nhunter719 Agreed. Cantrell has one of the best guitar tones I've ever heard.

[MrKrankKopf]

Not in this video but in the recording of this song he used one and sometimes during live gigs

[L2112Lif]

My god, that guitar sounds beautiful...

[Lusthog609]

the goofed note 2:20 shows you that even legends fuck up.

[ChildOfBurma]

jerry is the man

[MrKrankKopf]

he uses a talk box in this song

[groovey65]

@MrKrankKopf no he doesn't

[butterknucklez]

lllllllove his tone and wah tone even though i dont think he uses it in this

or does he?

[Lusthog609]

@butterknucklez He uses a Crybaby (though I don't think his signature model) with a Heil Talkbox on this track.

[aspen77rt]

Great and simple riff. I'll be damned if I can remember a Vai or Malsmsteen riff...lol

[Lordgout]

Writing a super simple catchy memorable riff with a band is a lot harder than shredding 10,000,000 notes a second

[rhcp4565]

very average guitarist, just my opinion tho

[Metirovan]

@rhcp4565 what do you consider by average guitarist...? cuz many factors indicate the quality of one guitarist

[69Thrasha69]

@Metirovan Jeff loomis lol

[Metirovan]

@69Thrasha69 i listen to prog... and pure technique doesn't separate one guitarist from another... it is about many things... not just structure, texture and complexity... it is also about spirit, soul and passing those things to audience.

[reaperofgenocide]

@69Thrasha69 jeff loomis is above average.....

[Irongypsy69]

@rhcp4565 your opinion is totally misguided... average guitarists don't write great riffs that sell in the millions Jerry is not a technical wizard but more people can name Alice songs than they can name Vai or Malsmsteen songs...the music of average guitarists don't connect with their audience..an average guitarist is someone at home dreaming of being a rock star if you are touring the world and known for your riff you are anything but average

[grimatongueworm]

The tone is unbelievable.

[faunoram]

hahahaha ... theres one comment that says he fucked up the song !!!

what are this kids have for brains ??

i think that single comment reflects the state of rock music in these terrible days ...

jerry is fuckin great !

RIP lane ...

[biker5211]

@faunoram and so what if he did? its still fucking awesome! the guys a tone monster.

[DaMopmop]

@faunoram I hope you meant Layne instead of lane.

[faunoram]

@DaMopmop

oops my bad !

a typo !!

[kongakonga]

he looks like alice in chains lead singer lol

[jfleming987]

@kongakonga you idiot that's jerry cantrell. lead guitarist and also the singer for a lot of their songs.

[kongakonga]

@jfleming987 oh shit lol my badness

[Andrewsonfire]

That tone is amazing.

[viginti23tresPRODZ]

WTF with this guy? he fucked up the song, it's not like that!

[jackyboy233]

@viginti23tresPRODZ lol

[elvensungoddess]

@viginti23tresPRODZ this guy is jerry cantrell and not some random guy he can do these songs theway he wants to as he wrote these guitar compositions himself

[StewieTravolta]

@viginti23tresPRODZ Maybe you're stupid, but this guy created the riff. So if you don't play it like that is just because YOU SUCK!!!!

[reaperofgenocide]

@StewieTravolta its funny when people say the musicians who wrote the song perform it wrong.

[itsyaboyitsyaboy]

@reaperofgenocide no doubt, fuckin idiots

[jfleming987]

@viginti23tresPRODZ you are a dumass he wrote this song. fuck off.

[RacerDude96]

@viginti23tresPRODZ ur dumb its jerry cantrell he made this song dick for brains

[jacknife10000]

@viginti23tresPRODZ youre dumb

[RamonesSkater4life]

@viginti23tresPRODZ dumbass it is if he fucking composed the song.

[arcin7]

@viginti23tresPRODZ ha dumbass

[Zakkwilder1982]

@viginti23tresPRODZ you sir, are a DUMBASS!!!!!!

[AGP12345]

Shit, that tone is so juicy.

[xxwantedxx]

i would have never guessed that this song is actually that easy to play damn. thank god for these lessons!

[drdontcare123]

Wow that guy in the video really looks like Jerry Cantrell

[Hixlol]

@drdontcare123 it is! lol

[drdontcare123]

@Hixlol haha no wonder he looked so much like him, thanks

[Hixlol]

@drdontcare123 haha no problem man

[pkerlover]

his mids are so creamy

[justfine77777]

@pkerlover you aint shittin. I can't ever seem to get that.  No matter what rig I am playing through it sounds like a mess to me.

[pkerlover]

@justfine7777 yo earlier this week i was tweaking with some stuff on my JSX for hours and almost got a tone like dat. i was so proud lol

[dodgefreek1973]

what effects are you using ? i never seem to get that exact tone that you have and i want to get it badly cause it's kick ass lol

[doghunter100]

@dodgefreek1973 dude thats jerry cantrell, of course you'll never get the same sound as him he has top of the line equipment, and wrote the song lol

[gabsss1987]

Thank you Jerry!!!!!

[Gunserina]

Great Jerry and great song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spenjax1111]

notice how fast he switched guitars right b4 he started playing lol

[Throatjab]

yeah. .that was about the speed of light!

[beerfarts2009]

What are these videos from?

[kurtcourtney67]

Is Jerry married or does he have kids ? I was thinking about this long time now ...

Love this video !

[doghunter100]

i love how he goes "thats basically it" at the end of the man in the box jam.  im strugglein like a bastard hes makin it look so easy lol

[gibsongod15]

its actually really fuckin easy

[doghunter100]

@gibsongod15 im gettin it ive only been playin for a few weeks now

[phadde2]

Man in the box is pretty simple dude, its just seems difficult at first, I had some trouble with it, my advice just keep working with it and one day you'll go shit this is pretty simple...and I love just to jam to it. At least that's what happened to me, the hardest parts are the fills, just keep working with them and it will just come natural.

[gibsongod15]

I know i have seen it

[Medeveechi29]

some brand needs to partner with jerry to make a distortion pedal so i and many other people can sound as good as he does LMFAO

[gibsongod15]

Yeah, its called by a bogner and a G&L Rampage and you got his tone.

[themodernguitarist]

Bogners are pretty... well... expensive. The amps he use (Uberschall, ecstacy, and Shiva) cost over $3000 apiece, except for the Shiva, which is $2300, but still expensive.

[evh5150316]

@Medeveechi29 You still probably won't sound as good as he does. You don't have his hands and his brain and his skill.

Not an insult to you, it's just fact. Nobody does.

[Medeveechi29]

@evh5150316 ahaha yea thats true well at least something close , LMFAO

[darkmyth91]

Man in the box is an easy song

But a Great riff to learn,

hell all Alice riffs are great xD

[rockexpert]

sweet

[maquinadosjye]

fucking awesome!
