Alice In Chains Rooster Unplugged HD Video

[TheGokitchen]

MTV's greatest contribution was the unplugged series. I love it! Jerry and Layne harmonies are sooo deep!

[superspongenova]

This just tears my heart to shrapnel, that voice is so subtle and intense and the guitar is like. Lulling.

[hungerstriker27]

layne´s voice was completely unique

[Haraxys]

OMFG That bass made me jizz in my pants!!!

[NicolochelinO]

Thanks Nancy Elizabeth and Philip Blair Staley, for having brought Staley to the world... don't think he would have thought the same way but still... thanks.

[ThermalUnitAlpha]

Alice in Chains has got to be one of the best bands of all time; I still can't get enough of them. Their music is so raw and powerful, and Staley's voice is ethereal. It's like raw emotion given spoken language. If there is indeed a god and a heaven, you can bet Layne Staley is in the house band.

[somberotten]

This whole unplugged videos should have more views, it's crazy. this is real music.

[laanico]

best band ever.. nothing else

[mrcrimpcrimp]

It's amazing how Layne can hit those high notes without even trying.

[LLB61959]

Haunting

[prnydecalle]

amazing vocalist

[WoodstockProd]

R.I.P. Layne Staley, now THAT is a tragedy

[dkbadass]

"The bullets screeeaaam to me from somewhere!"......my favorite part

[garbyr1]

Beautiful Voice <3

[snarf3456]

about mr stanelys death he just got to close to god so god had to take him from us

[mjsmiles99]

I just can't see how you can even click on the dislike button. those 12 people must have been forced by the devil or somethin. If you wan't to dislike Layne, you can go to hell with him laughing up in heaven with god.

[Liberaltoughguy]

What a fucking shame.....he knew he was gonna die.

[Chaddard]

Absolutely incredible!

[jeffdechazer]

amazing

[junkhead223]

R.I.P Layne, will always miss you and you're art.

[Kudblythe3]

when he opens his eyes...you can see the pain.

[junkhead223]

@Kudblythe3 True, it's hard to watch, especially nutshell, you can tell he's singing that from the heart.

[alzaraza]

Total 90's

[BooshMeOff]

12 'dislikes' huh, so that would be 12 shit-stains who got lost trying to find bieber.

[TheFaggies]

This is really good but GOT ME WRONG is the greatest song ever.

[MrBluesyrocker]

one of best unplugged's all the time !!

[zoomboomnoisevideos]

Thanks for all the views im gunna put up videos of my band so check em out

[metalheadsist]

Why Kurt Cobain Why  Layne Stanley please take Justin Bieber

[hottub3372]

I can't believe some of the crap you people are talking about...LISTEN!!! We all know what Layne did to himself, and unfortunately we are all paying for it to this very day. We lost a very talented and great musician, one of the best of his time...PLAIN & SIMPLE!!

[ep33bp]

You know drugs or not, these musicians have more soul and emotion (be it negative) than anything on the radio today, I'm hardcore rock and I cant even stand to turn on the rock station in my town, it's lame ass pussy music with no heart. Isnt music supposed to invoke an emotion inside of you? That would make sense then people today have no emotions there fore their mindless drone rock is perfect for them. :p

[snarf3456]

@ep33bp Isnt music supposed to invoke an emotion inside of you? That would make sense then people today have no emotions there fore their mindless drone rock is perfect for them.

well thats cuz all the new artist are beening told what to play how to play and sound so label makes more money puting out stuff the unintelgent masses like

[HeROsiNhEaVeN]

Gives me chills......

[LoganZeroFallen]

Him and kurt cobain have that pain in their voices that made it sound beautiful in a way.

[zdayallday]

Hes so high on heroin. Hes straight nodding out. Fuckin junkies....

[briangunn21]

when was this ?

[inlovewithbass]

tomorrow is going to be awesome, i havent listened to alice in chains for a couple of years, and one of my friends had my mp3 player for a couple of days, i got it back today and it has loads of alice in chains on it. fuck yeah. i get to be outside, walking, listening to layne! im so happy.

[nirvana95039]

cara essees caras sao foda.e um puta som e sem duvida sao uma lenda.gaças a deus que esses caras apareceram no cenario do rock.e uma dadiva sonora.

[daddybug101]

No description available. No description necessary. Absolute Alternative Rock. May Layne sing forever. Who gives a fuck which ear his ear ring is in. He had without a doubt the best male voice of all time. Now talk about THAT.

[MyRsHaCKSdUNWORK]

@csmall1221 Should it matter? No..

[csmall1221]

okay just one question why is his earring in the right ear???

[k1coslaw]

@csmall1221 Its mirriored video, due to copyrights, i think.

[GuitarPlayer96100]

@k1coslaw no cuz then the guitar players would be playin left handed

[arnoni11]

@csmall1221 well one day Layne went to fuck your mom they were doing roll play,so shes like lets put a earring in your right ear

[LordJummy]

@csmall1221 not everyone conforms to the ridiculous stereotypes the masses project onto people. wearing an earring doesn't define who or what you are. open your mind to something greater.

[cuzinjojo82]

Words cannot describe Layne or Jerry or their musical talent! Jerry knew how to write songs for Layne and his unbelievable voice!

[themaxeatsfood]

Know how he is not lip syncing? It's better than the studio version.

[StevenzGuitarCovers]

Since when is 360 HD? False Advertising as well xD

[MrBRUCELEE98]

Missing teeth?Detox? WHO gives a shit...Are you hearing this shit?

[goce87nirvana]

No description required!

[dk2853]

I love that even though Layne is probably at his weakest here and is missing teeth, he still sings better than Cantrell by a long shot

[tpacyao]

@dk2853 I don't see no missing teeth and he doesn't seem weak to me. Can you sing like that?

[mbecerrac92]

@tpacyao He was on d-tox from drugs at this point, tha's why he was weak

[dk2853]

@mbecerrac92 Thank you, I was going to point this out. Yes he was missing teeth, which he had lost as a result of drug addiction. He still sings great, I was complimenting him. I think he's one of the greatest singers of all time. Though this was one of his last shows with the band.

[forerunner06]

so awesome

[WhoMadeWho33]

its great how you can tell these songs mean a lot to layne personally, and to the band in general. real music, real meaning.

[endlessnameless941]

@GatezofKhaos Three Days Grace? Really?

[1Sifting]

Too many people lie abut hd these days.

[MrWannawang]

You must be mental. This is real. This is raw

[TrIGgeRFiEnD]

Hoohooohooooooohooooohoooohooo­ohooohoooo!!!! Best Part!

[ewieland1]

As much of a fan as I am of Layne and the band, has anyone noticed how off on the harmony Layne is in the unplugged versions... he's totally fucked up on dope. RIP, he was an amazing vocalist.

[LillyEvans64]

only 250k views? shows how many people dont have audio .....

[ireternalexistence]

@LillyEvans64 Or how many people that cannot appreciate the best music available.

[colbyhoo123]

this is the stuff i love this song

[dwargg]

Such a great voice...such a great band. Wish Layne could've been with us longer

[Havranek88]

6:17 we miss u Layne

[peanutandbutter200]

His voice just comes so effortless. I love it (:

[bourbonfueledradcunt]

Should say "No description necessary"

[rumpleshortsshins]

thanks for the 90's

[janicetiedemann]

gloriaaaaaaaaaa sent me pictures of my boy best vocals in this song

[anderson5908]

sounds and looks like he has no teeth

[Loralie666]

@anderson5908 Wow, totally not cool. Layne was a phenominal talent and he is truly missed.

[wishbone2016]

It just doesn't get any better than AIC unplugged video and a cold beer. Man, thats some good shit!

[poisonmushroom2]

Amazing performance.

It's so sad that music isn't like this at all these days. Its probably safe to say we will not be speaking or even have half the respect for todays artists like we do with bands like Alice is Chains.

[gornhorror]

not sure what it is, but these guys just capture doom and gloom better than any band I've ever heard. One word............pain. The best music comes from truth. It just shows in Alice in Chains' music.

[DukeofDudes74]

Miss you Layne.

[123bob72]

truly a great song loved listening to Mtv unplugged knew we were in trouble when headbangers ball sat at 11 was gone and they started saying Yo Mtv raps what a waste

[HitmanJake2113]

"No description available" is the first thing I see when I click to come to this video. How promising ;)

[01spaz]

@HitmanJake2113 Title says "Alice In Chains Rooster Unplugged HD Video" What more do you need?

[HitmanJake2113]

@01spaz I see what you did there hahahaha

[joeldude76]

@HitmanJake2113 just like buying a used truck

[villecards8]

@HitmanJake2113 Amen

[ParkwayBurnsRed3]

@HitmanJake2113 it should say no description needed

[boooeti]

@HitmanJake2113 why would you need a description? shut your mouth and listen

[HitmanJake2113]

@boooeti i don't need a description just thoughtm i'd point out something i caught there :)

[XxgojaxX]

Guys check this cover! And like it! ;D /watch?v=UE0D0WeWLB0

[jorgegustavo15]

i do not understand those dislikes O.o

[xXxCulpxXx]

Love this song on Thanksgiving might be a rooster but hell my imagination thinks of that fucking turkey HAHA!

[slashhudson]

Layne Staley will live forever.

[Metalmanmania357]

Does anyone know how long after this session before we lost Layne?

[slashhudson]

@Metalmanmania357 this was filmed in 96 layne died in 2002

[Metalmanmania357]

@slash hudson We lost a talented song writer in Layne, he wrote straight from the heart. Such a tragic story dude, with the substance abuse problems that he struggled with. Its always been that way though. Drugs are a real problem in the Rock n Roll business or the entertainment business in general. Alice Cooper said. "When your a Rock Star, and you manage to live through the excesses of the lifestyle and get clean, its an awesome thing, but so many legendary ones didn't make it"..

[slashhudson]

@Metalmanmania357 in my opinion Layne Staley is the best vocalist of all time. but hey, thats just my opinion and it means nothing because everyone has one. btw i love your words and couldnt agree more with you!!

[deadELVIS911]

Heartbreaking!! can clearly see he is struggling, but yet puts in one of the best perfomances of his life. Not a die hard fan of Alice in Chains but this song/performance will go down in history as one of the best. Damn I wish I could sing like Layne R.I.P.

[agveigaa]

I always cringe in 2:14....RIP Layne

[1SNITCH]

Ears to brain......This is music at its BeSt!!!!!!

[Metalmanmania357]

@1SNITCH I agree, true ear candy.

[nananhana]

The drummer looks like simon cowell with a mullet

[reinstatehank88]

@nananhana Hey give it up for Troy Polamalu on the bass

[davidworley16]

lived it in my night terrors.

[pjleash]

10 people came to snuff the rooster, but he ain't gonna die.

[Underdog958]

was this laynes last concert before he passed?

[zours50]

@Underdog958 nah, i believe layne died in 2002 :-)

[fugazy6942]

R.I.P Lanye ):

[gregsadloski]

@neonbambiproductions i know right, fuck

[captainbatguano]

The best of the unplugged series. Their music is even more haunting in acoustic

[fantuzfan1]

hell ya it was the best!!!! and deserved to BE on MTV!!!!!

[refuseit]

and to think this was popular and played on mtv all the time

[tooberoot]

FUCK YOU FOR THE HD SPOOF ASSHOLE

[FloydKid]

Layne Staley is SUCH an amazing vocalist! I wish I could have seen Alice in Chains live while he was alive!

[angie1386]

@FloydKid

I so agree with you!!!!

[italianking29]

@FloydKid same here man. Duvalls good but deff no Layne

[heartshapedlife2]

@italianking29 Fuck that. They're both awesome.

[gregsadloski]

@crazylightpump lol those elitist fucks! jk ;-)

[gregsadloski]

@cc102030 very well said sir.

[snidleywhiplash1000]

Oh GOD Please Help Me Through This, They Come To Snuff The Rooster. Amazing group!!God Bless you Layne,rest in pease.

Oh GOD Please Help Me Through This,They Come To Snuff The Rooster.Amazing group!!!God bless you LAYNE rest in pease. You"re missed very much. Best Seattle band bar none.

[REDSKINrey]

wtf this is not HD

[tabb125]

Their are many bands or vocalist out there that perform while on drugs. That doesn't necessarily mean that they are performing badly. Layne hit the note's as always in this performance, and to be honest drugs or not it was one of his best. R.I.P Layne, you were one of a kind!!!!

[wickenhauser1]

this makes me sad him and Peter steele are my fav

[MrGEC65]

this is "Music Television" not jersy shore and shore and shit like that ....

[madmnmarc]

@MrGEC65 Don't forget the lovely 16 and pregnant. Now there's music for you!!! Fuck MTV...

[DixieGirl1984]

@MrGEC65 Agreed... 1000%

[crazylightpump]

@gregsadloski nirvana fans

[Meteorov8]

Oh god please won't you help me make it through?

[leithian91]

[jimbo2smith1]

R.I.P



[MrManoynav]

How could 8 people dislike this?

[scorpiofireflirt77]

@MrManoynav i haven't a clue. They r probably pompus asses, hyicrates to the core they were awesome....feeling in that room was amazing.Those asses They r clueless

[2High2Die738]

IM not mad...lmwao

[knektev]

one of the greatest song in history

[KATXUMPAY]

I try to respect everyone's opinions, but some of them sadden me a little:

How can you watch such profound and timeless performance and think that it's not good, or it's lacking something?

I understand that you're used to the more "metal" version of rooster, but I can assure you that, while that is indeed an awesome song, this version does NOT miss any of the points the song tries to transmit.

I truly believe this performance has an unique profoundness that can only be heard in very few songs.

[emg121057]

@KATXUMPAY I am a born Seattlite and I agree with you com[letely. Layne is obviously strung out, I have been there but he and the rest of the band sounds amazing. Maybe it's because Jar Of Flies is my favorite album, I like the acoustic. To the haters, whatever, they will be out there...

[bluzercic]

@KATXUMPAY

bravo

[almametal10]

been there, horrible time, im there maybe now, so this its no joke for me

[MBORGAIS]

For anyone who has had a problem with addiction can feel the pain from this song. Yes, it may not have had all the excitement you expect from a show, but it had the heart. I could feel his emotions..... that is what music is about.

[eugejnr1]

legend

[tylerstieben]

8 people got snuffed by the rooster

[gregsadloski]

8 dislikes... fuck it i give up on humanity.

[cc102030]

@gregsadloski 8 dislikes on a great song is the least of my worries. It's the millions of likes on shit that worry me.

[neonbambiproductions]

@gregsadloski

9 you might as well kill your self

[Layne77Staley]

@gregsadloski I gave up on humanity a loooong time ago.

[shanus2525]

"Oh god please!, wont you help me make it through", when ever i hear layne sing that, in his later performances, especially in light of what he was going thru gives me goosebumps

[munromeo69]

great performance but i think this song is def an electric song

[tourdeforce17]

@munromeo69 Think I agree with you there, the chorus needs that distortion.

[munromeo69]

@tourdeforce17 yeah man im surprised they did this live, its lacking the power you know

[notavailableisnotava]

@munromeo69 Yeah Layne was to messed up to do this. Also he didnt even wanna be their. Great performence but not great when you talk about Layne's performances. He set the bar to high that this doesnt reach it.

[fitfinland]

@notavailableisnotava

I disagree, i believe the whole unplugged show was near perfect. Layne was Obviously messed up around this period of time, but his performance was timeless. It's different then say his Early 90's performances, but given the unplugged setting i feel it's amazing.

[dubified89]

@fitfinland Yeah he just looked real bad but he sounded great.

[LLB61959]

Incredible voice comes out of this skinny kid............impressive

[mullaleo85]

go choke a chicken you dirty filthy girl ya. Ballymacarbery. clonmel. co. tipperary

[yoitsdaman]

Love this, rip layne... Thanks for posting my dude!

[ulfture]

all in the band looks happy thats Layne is back. not the same whitout hom

[zeewaker]

Man, Layne looks like shit here. Still sounds awesome, but he looks high as a kite! Sucks he did that to himself.

[BloodyHarry456]

@zeewaker

i actually don't think he's high here. but of course all those drugs left him in a constant troubled state both physically and mentally as you can see here

[pivovinorakija]

4:15  best part

[trancelover96]

he looked really confused at the end lol

[cmonabear]

Incredible, that voice of Layne is just incredible!

[Dragonflyy826]

anyone know the date of this? Layne looks so bad.... you can see the obvious effects of heroin on him. Such a tragedy!

[The1992Mike]

@Dragonflyy826 Yeah, looks like he's pretty high on here. He's just sitting there not really moving at all.

[markenhagen]

@The1992Mike You want him to dance like mc hammer while singing rooster unplugged? Lmao

[ShinraDream]

@Dragonflyy826 April 10th, 1996

[partiallyfull]

@Dragonflyy826 It was recorded mid 1996 (not sure of specifics.)

[mezacan1]

Sucks....... we can't ever see him sing again ): No one can sing like Layne in my opinion!!!!
