  • Damn I miss playing.. we used to rock the absolute FUCK out of this song. AiC.. great stuff.

  • first song i ever learned to play on my fender

  • OH HELL NO THERE'S NO COMPARING (ALICE IN CHAIN'S) TO NOBODY LAYNE IS IT AN THAT'S THAT.

  • oh hell no they don't. aic 4 life. layne is it an that's that.

  • oh hell no they don't. aic 4 life.

  • why do all of you hate nickelback so much? I think they kind of have the same vibe, at least guitar sounds

  • Alice disliked this.

  • I do wonder if they stole the into from t-rex 20th century boy

    as much as I love chains and this song, the resemblance is pretty uncanny

  • listen to grunge which is actually quite popular, especially in their time I'd assume. shit on people who listen to bands who are popular now.

    youtube comments are so retarded

    anyway I do quite like AIC, but I listened to their early demos before they got signed when my friend played it to me and boy did they suck. They sounded like a shit bon jovi, and I think bon jovi is shit

  • @spoter67 Their demos were awesome, the guitar work by Jerry was great. They pretty much just slowed it down, and the vocals changed alot. They sound nothing like Bon Jovi.

  • fav part 0:59 1:40

  • who is nickelback?

  • i dinna what the fuck the crack about shittlecack is but they are a pile a wank. chad kroeger is a fucking goon. GOON-UP MOTHER FUCKER

  • FUCKIN A!!!!!

    

  • @thrashersk8er1 caca

  • born in '58....that's right, and i think aic is one of the best, if not the best, band in the past 40+ years..... thumbs up

  • born in 95, nickleback is NOT a rockstar, he is a gimp twat. I'd rather eat shit than be someone who enjoys nickleback or be someone blind to how talentless this 'popular' music is.

    AIC are gods, nothing less, when chuck norris goes to bed, he checks under his bed and in his closet for alice in chains....(and lemmy)

  • born in 94 and i hate nickel back never listen to them and i like all types of music.

  • @motoriderj25 i like their band but i do listen to AIC in fact they are my favourite band but i like nickleback too so dont hate!!!!

  • born in 95 adore this band man kickass alice in chains

  • dad, why couldnt you and mom have me in highschool? (early 80"s)

  •  where i go is when i feel im able how I fight is y im feeling sore

  • hey lets all just just listen to AIC, thats why were here right...

  • somtimes i think they should have left AIC alone when layne died but then again he keeps the music alive and new fans are born everyday..guess all you can say is layne cant be replaced

  • @mrtall1994 they don't even need the new guy. they keep on rocking but theres a ton of us here who would love to see them at there're best. back in the day.

  • one of the best intro's I've ever heard

  • slow and grind. A.I.C's trademark

  • LOL @ today's "rock" bands

  • Sick intro :)

  • Beginning sounds kinda like Anthrax - Caught in a Mosh :D

  • People writing good music=It aint like that anymore.

    Justin Bieber is a joke to musicians everywhere.

  • @d22587 When will people realize that the more you talk about that little assclown the more popular he gets? Just STFU about him and he will be forgotten in a year...

  • @DarthMorbius1977 Justin Bieber.

  • AIC are artists. Nickelback are ˝follow the leader˝ type of band. Backstreet Boys with ONLY one difference- guitars.

  • Sorry bout the repeats you guys.

  • Seattle's best gift to the rest of the country! and the world!

  • man just fukin leave bands like Slipknot , Nickelback, and other guys alone, at least they dont sound like Metallica,s new shit which sucks badly . Not everyone is able to become like fukin legendary man come on!

  • Great frickin ass song! Im with you guys, I don't get all the Nickleback comparisons. That gripes the hell outta me! They dont even compare to AIC!!! All I wanna listen to is AIC, you could say I am obsessed! THis is one of those songs you just have to fuckin crank up and JAMMM the hell out of it

    !!!!

  • @poppyeuphoria

    Nickelback just performed once on stage with Jerry Cantrell. thats why. anyways i,m a nickelback fan , so dont tell me i suck because of that.

  • @Destruction555666 i'm sorry but you kind of do because of that, if you are in your teens you'll understand in a few years i think

  • @TJWhitey38

    no i,m not in my teens. so, this is stupid, you know, i mean, since when the fuck was there a law tellin me what to not listen to if i like alice in chains or other shit. and i already got that, you just get boared of that music, but doesnt mean you suck if you still have repsect for it.

  • @Destruction555666

    I didn't say U sucked, I don't give a damn who u listen to. I just don't care for Nickelback. In my opinion and evidently many other's here, they are too commercial and cannot even begin to compare to AIC. But jam to whatever the hell makes you feel good man!

  • Great frickin ass song! I with you guys, I don't get all the Nickleback comparisons. That gripes the hell outta me! They dont even compare to AIC!!! All I wanna listen to is AIC, you could say I am obsessed! THis is one of those songs you just have to fuckin crank up and JAMMM the hell out of it!!

  • 1 person who pressed dislike has no taste in music

  • I have spent my life playing in bands and it is so rare to have such a great mix of talent that produces timeless music such as AIC. I don't care what genre it is or what period of history. AIC will always be top 2 all time for me no matter where they go from here...the new album is also damn good....Jerry waited a long time to find a new lead.....not the same but still good. Layne is a voice that wont' be copied. All hail AIC!

  • HAAAA laughing about some comments... didn't some of you know...

    AIC = PURE...

  • Music of the 2000s & 2010s =

    No-talent fags trying to look emo-cool and be 'rock stars' for the pussy and for the money. Turning out corporate rock that 60+ year-old men jam to in their office suites.

  • @EdRoy01 maybe early 2010's or wat the 2010 is rite now but trust me a band or bands will come to blow us away agian

  • best grunge band in my opinion. cant wait to see them in September <3

  • Grunge + Metal = Sludge

  • @bjthepumpkinguy either way, its still great

  • @ScarlettAnarchist

    no problem metalbabe..

  • @bjthepumpkinguy aww :)

  • Nickleback isnt a band.

    Nickelback is perpetual whining put to extremely boring and tedious music.

  • I hate how all these little kids come in on a ALICE IN CHAINS VIDEO to talk about fucking nickelback.....nickelback it to commercial for me

  • @SmashingPumpkinsTV Dude for sure nickelback is gay but so r u cus smashing pumpkins suck balls

  • @sixfeetontop u serious man? they are great if u dont like em check out siamese dream really good album but if u dont likem thats arite im not like some stupid ppl on here that try and start crap

  • aic. one of the best bands

  • I sooooo love Alice!! This band kicks butt!!!!

  • cool fuking song 

  • Awesome shit right here

  • How can you not bang your head to this or atleast do it like LAYNE just back and forth best frontman their could possibly be.....I bet sum of you are rockin back and forth right now

  • is enjoying the song and laughs at all the people arguing.

  • dude,grunge IS blues/hard rock/punk something like that

  • @jbaucco LMAO ! you don't know shit about music

  • @shredman1320 lol

  • Ohhh the drag on this guitar is insane.  They did this live last month and I was buggin out. Love it.

  • i wouldnt be suprised if this inspired check my brain

  • one of my favorite song from aic. i love the chorus riff, reminds me of metallica or sumthin

  • way nastier than anything cobain was spittin

  • This epitomises my generation ("Grunge"), I'd always walked around with a chip on my shoulder I'd missed out on the "summer of love" but feel great I was 'round for these guys, especially; if only I had disposable income and could get to the states during that time.. Love it. Layne would've liked it that way. Sure as hell Jerry does ;)

  • AIC Grunge?? No way bro!! They may have come out of Seattle around the same time as all the other "grunge" bands, but I consider AIC a straight up dark bluesy rock band. When I think of grunge I think of musicians who can't even tune their instruments, much less play them.

  • @bruceleroy14 sorry dude layne staley is the king of grunge, which basicly is dark bluesy rock

  • @bruceleroy14 you know what dude? or whatever your name is.. maybe layne staley love to wright dark music coz people like you exist in this fuckin wasted world.. you dont know what is grunge or music in general.. so shut the hell up..!

  • @metrophobia777

    Bro, I've been a musician all my life, went to school for music, toured all over the country, and I can guarantee I know more about music then a douche like yourself!! Music is a form of art meathead, and like any other form of art it's open to interpretation. There are no facts, only opinions. One man's trash is another man's treasure. You seem to take things a little too seriously, and sound like an EMO douche!! Shouldn't you be spending your time cutting yourself!!..loser.

  • @bruceleroy14 you must be very stupid.. you went to school for music then you dont know what is grunge.. maybe grunge is not for school i suppose but grunge is one of the deepest genre's.. maybe your too old school for grunge.. what is your music? covering songs from guns n roses? fuck you! i my self have a band.. a death metal band.. so dont talk to me about music as if you know music all your life.. its ok to have an opinion but not being subjective to an artist's idea.. stupid faggot..lol

  • @bruceleroy14 I agree AIC does not technically fall under the category of grunge maybe a few songs would but not the band

  • @DOUCHEMcNUGGET Alice In Chains is a grunge band. The pinnacle grunge band. They defined grunge.

  • Hey I become an AIC fan on my own when i was a freshman in 2004, all my friends thought they sucked but for me their is just something so special about AIC that defines them among all other bands (AIC fan for life)

  • kids should be banned to categorize grunge I'm 22 and hell I'm too young,different time different music,it was and still is great :)

  • A hella under looked aic song, one of my favs

  • I remember sitting on the porch of a shitty apartment in Tucson listening to this, probably drunk, 1993.

  • everyone has their own opinion but go buy a jayzee c.d. and fuk off. thnk you

  • I am a chick age 20, I have to ask, why do people my age, take AIC for granted and those that do like them, only like the perception that they were rock stars?

  • @KurdtCobaine - Because most people are shallow!

  • No offense but your generation is lazy. From roughly 96/97-present your generation has chosen to ride the coat tails of previous generations and then spit in their faces by characterizations of being either too simplistic or too garish in appearance. the last ten years or so has seen a backslide of originality and songwriting. Just a lot losers who'd rather appropriate someone else's blood, sweat, and tears, clumsily repackage it. worse yet covers soundin more like drunken karaoke recorded.

  • Comment removed

  • im from the generation your talking about, i would prefer to say, that couple of childish trendfollowing fucks ruined the reputation of this generation.

  • OK first you apparently do not what it means to "ride someone else' coat tails;" particularly in this context. Second, I don't care how your friends see you. Youre not an accurate reflection of your generation. Group home? I'm talking about hacks passing themselves off as real musicians, who can't read music, can't sing in key, and virtually no conception of melody. name one band in the time frame I put up that'll still be going in 15 years. My guess is none.

  • Comment removed

  • Sounds like the devil singing about ruling the world.

  • @ComaAlpha - good list of songwriters..also, glad you feel that DIAH was more suited for Jar of Flies, because in retrospect, didn't you first think ALL OF THEIR ALBUMS sounded the same?? I told you they didn't...i think by them placing DIAH in Dirt, showed their versatility. IMO the Jerry/Layne collaboration outshined so many other duos in the rock genre..

  • @GodlyVayne - I agree - each AIC album produced totally different music and this is what made me love them - this showed AIC;s creativity, talent, etc...they had so much versatility, not the same REPETITIVE RIFFS, mindless lyrics like other bands (who shall remain nameless)

  • I get negative 3 for saying Kurt was a mediocre songwriter? Anyways, I don't reall agree with the two of you. Out of the three full lengthed albums, the only one that sets itself a part was the self titled album. Facelift and Dirt sounded a lot alike to me. And all of them (including BGWTB) sounds grunge to me.

    PS-Nirvana sounds more like shittier version of The Ramones to me

  • @ComaAlpha - it's ok to disagree, but don't u think the song Down in a Hole (DIRT album) was completely different from anything on Facelift and the self titled album? I think so...I love all the Seattle bands, but honestly, I don't think any of those bands (past or present) are even in the same league as AIC (especially during Layne's reign)

  • @ComaAlpha - just curious - since you consider Kurt Cobain a mediocre songwriter, who do you think is a talented songwriter?? I think Kurt was good, I would never say Kurt was mediocre, but Layne and Jerry are better..IMO Layne & Jerry produced some of the best sh*t in the last 20 yrs!!!

  • Jerry is an exceptional songwriter. I don't really think Layne was that good of a songwriter but he still had ONE HELL OF A VOICE! Freddie Mercury and Brian May were great songwriters. David Bowie is an awesome songwriter. John, George, Paul and Ringo were all four great songwriters. And as far as DIAH is concerned, it didn't belong on Dirt. It would've fit much better on SAP or Jar of Flies.

    My opinion still stands as Kurt=shitty guitarist, shitty singer, mediocre songwriter. :)

  • @laynestaley15 yeah and what made alice in chains so great is they mastered those different sounds in each album, totally killed it each cd. sorry for trolling this vid lol i just love aic :)

  • @laynestaley15 Very well put. I whole heartingly agree. R.I.P. Layne.

  • @dragonangyle - thanks - i just hope these young kids realize what an icon Layne was/is - Layne/Jerry and AIC's music has influenced so many bands of today, but like Jerry said...they are all pale imitations, there will never be another LAYNE STALEY..and this saddens me the most...such a huge loss

  • how is it commercial grudge my friend.. grudge is grudge look sound fell grudge

  • I hope that AIC becomes even more rich!

  • What does Nickelback have to to do with AIC??????

  • ACTUALLY WITH JERRY CANTRELL

  • Nickelback covered this song with Cantrell making a guest appearance.

  • @rimwrecka100590 yeah and it sucked. Alice in chains is alice in chains, no one else should ever try to be them. With out Layne it's all a little pathetic. Stupid cover band they have. Fuck nickelback part of the reason I threw my radio away.

  • Great Song!!!

  • badass song

  • why do people keep bringing up NICKELBACK? they are a commercial pop/rock band. They shouldnt even be mentioned with AIC , there is NO comparison.

  • Probably coz Jerry played this song with em on stage. It was a good performance but it was all coz of jerry. Nickelback is just some corporate sellout, IMO

  • hell, ya, bro!

  • there is no commparison aic is the best ever, but they were commercial grunge, like it or not

  • aic cannot be classified into a genre. they're labeled grunge just because they became famous in seattle during that era.

  • Dude, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots(from LA), Mother Love Bone, they all had the same kind of sound. To me that sound is grunge. Now as far as the grungiest of of the grunge bands. They don't really sound like grunge. At least not to me. Nirvana sucks. Teen Spirit and Heart-Shaped Box are like the only two great songs that Kurt's ever written.

  • well alice in chains did have some songs that were very grunge, i agree with that. but each time they made a new album it was totally different music.

  • @chiefbuckafuffalo - commercial grunge?? WTF?? commercial music (being grunge, pop, whatever) means music produced by artists who sell out and conform to what is currently the trend/popular - AIC was the exact opposite!! some of the lyrics were about their battles w/heroin/drug addiction, etc, majority of bands wouldn't have the balls to write sh*t like that - AIC always PUSHED the envelope - they were a totally different caliber of artists..they WERE/ARE THE BEST...PERIOD

  • @govtmule13 those comments come from kids that were born in 92', lol....they don't know any better.

  • @SabreMatt311 hey dude, i was born in 92, and i say nickelback can suck a chode,

  • @dmunny420 Same dude, Its good to know people still appreaciate alice in chains exp in our own generation.

  • @fckrocknroll nicely put

  • @fckrocknroll fuck nicelback they could never even come close to touching the level of amazing that AIC does and thats a fact

  • @dmunny420 same here dude.I dont listen to any music they make these days.my generation sucks balls...

  • @dmunny420 AGREEEEEDD!!! there the opnly band that every fucking song you can sway your hip's to im so tired of kid's liek yeah there heavy suck a chode bitch they suck..

  • @dmunny420 but i love chodes :\

  • @dmunny420 Well said sir, well said. Nickelback does in fact suck chodes, fuckin' huge ones. Sell out motherfuckers if I ever seen any. No one bother replying to this to argue this fact, I won't reply.

  • @zachwasson2001 nickelback.... what a joke, i mean, they're like a watered down shitty version of the scum at the bottom of a barrel

  • @govtmule13 LOL well said man, there is not even a decimal of comparison to real talent such as AIC.

  • Only comments about Alice in Chains, band members,song, or video. Anything else or promoting other bands in not excepted so fuck off.

  • @heartshapedflower All I can say is AMEN to that!!

  • What the Fuck is up with the if your a girl shit. I'm a chick and I'm 20. I don't Own a radio for one thing and I'd vomit to my ends if I fuck had to fuck listen to fucken nickelback. Fuck them, how can any one compare the king of the cats to Chad what ever the fuck his name is.
