This might be the most underrated song by AIC. As I recall, they were going to make a video for it, but that sidelined for some reason. It was always my favorite track off of Dirt. It should get played more on radio.
this song was written about a fight at the band house between the band and jerry, because jerry was being a dick. they broke a coffee table over jerry. and then wrote a song about it. RIP Layne, you went too soon. i miss you guys.....
All Alice In Chains songs remind me of when I used to shoot up cocaine real bad. I had to have at least a half gram a day or I was fucked off real bad. The hardest week of my life was quitting. In my mind's eye I can see my trophy for doing so, but only when listening to Alice In Chains. I have a bright sober future ahead of me.
yeah at the moment i seem to have found myself with pretty much every addiction i can get myself onto. i have managed to keep off alot of the really bad shit but i dont really expect to last much longer the way im going. i dont eally mind i guess, but seriously, championing drug abuse dosnt add inchs to your dick man.
@ichorwraith Hardest week of your life? I really hope you dont think you're done with the hard part. The detox is easy compared to the rest of it. I know its an old comment so i hope you're still safe.
Dirt was without a doubt by far the best AIC album. Been listening to it since it was released and could never get sick of it. If I'm feeling down it always lifts my spirits. RIP Layne.
Grunge seems to be the heroin addicts music of choice, huh? (Kurt etc.)
love these boys man it sucks that the original lead singer died he was cute and a dam good singer.i have only just go into metal and heavy rock like a year ago man i wish i was bout up on this stuff instead of shitty music like john how ever the fuck his last name is spelled and fucking human nature fucking sucks balls man i hate that shit!!!!
I miss Alice in Chains,i'll admit i am scepticle about the new guy i guess i'll listen first then opinionize,but Dirt is my fav album from AIC this song iz fukin' awesome.
Time moves on, yes ... music doesn't always keep up, my good man. Rock music today is a fucking joke. I'm 26, and I've NEVER gotten out of grunge. Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, STP ... you can't say that stuff gets old. And if you do, you never really got into it at all, and that's a damn shame.
i use't to be into this kind of music but not no more it is a great song and a good band but just not for me but i will still give it 4stars because it is a good song.
Oh whatever. Theres no arguing with someone who doesn't have an education greater then a 6th grader like all you other white trash conservative hicks.
Seems like your contradicting yourself in this comment. You say that you don't have a problem with democrats and liberals in your profile, but here you are saying that you don't like Pearl Jam's album because they are "like a bunch of retarded liberal pussies."
Just because someone hates war doesn't mean they are pussies or make them bad musicians. So I'm guessing you don't like Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, U2, Bob Marley, The Clash, Iron Maiden, Phish, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, R.E.M, John Lennon, or Rage Against the Machine because all those bands hate war too.
(while on this subject)
McCain sucks. He wouldn't care if he killed everyone in the whole US in order to keep the war in Iraq going.
Pearl Jam is a horrible grunge band because they aren't grunge. They are softer and lighter then songs like this. They are an amazing rock band though.
this double cd is a must have for Alice fans or those who really want to get to know them....but i thought the complilation should have included killer is me,rotten apple and frogs.
Yeah, which is part of the reason that STP got ripped on by critics so often. At their best I think STP sounds pretty unique, and I think put out a few great singles, but they also put out a number of songs that were best described as sounding like Alice In Chains Lite so people took them to task for it and called them rip off artists pretty often. And to be fair, Alice In Chains really does do straight ahead hard grunge much better.
Layne Staley has to be to this date the only guy in hard rock that didnt have long hair. If you can think of someone else, please tell me. I cant think of anyone other than him. Anyway, this is a kick ass song.
You stupid ass! Grunge is a sub genre of Alternative that originated in Seattle. Alice In Chains and Stone Temple Pilots were the biggest contributers to making it popular.
The four biggest grunge era bands were Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. STP is sometimes included but they are just as often grouped with the Post-Grunge genre along with bands such as Bush and Collective Soul.
Also, STP are from SoCal, NOT Seattle, so you should probably get your facts straight before calling people names.
Yea, they actually met in Jersey...Rob and Scott did at a black flag concert they found out they were goin out with the same chick and instead of fightn they started stp...sorry had to had my input
i read a long time ago that it was about a fight tween jerry and the drummer. i guess one of them needed to go somewhere and needed the other one to drive..and he wouldn't. the story i read about the song had them laughing about it later..cuz it really is a cool song.
