  • I believe this is before he got into heroin heavily...and he still looks so damn scrawny...w/ a booming amazing ability. Such a tragic loss.

  • i cant believe this was 22 years ago,makes me feel like an old fuck at 37

  • Layne is the best! The rest of the group are bad Barbies.... 

  • He Sounds like Zeus Bellowing from Olympus!!!

  • i would love too..

  • everybody arguing whos better whats the point i dont care if u like nirvana pj or stp for me aic always be nr 1 but as long as u listen any of thos bands we all one happy family :)

  • i would love 2 c this whole concert it looks amazing <3

    gotta love layne's voice

  • @emmythehockeygurl30 Glad you like it, and you are in luck. The rest of the concert is in my uploads :)

  • @symptom1555 i'll be checking them out thank you :)

  • Gaga is the product of black magic and animal scarfices.I think your asking the wrong guy...Is it worth gaga AND your soul for one more AIC show.hell yeah Show me where the fuck I sign?

  • Like i was saying they wer alternative metal not exactly wat everybody wanted at the time they wanted grunge but AIC just wrote their songs so good an put that emotion into them but nirvana also had that emotion in their songs so their pretty equal

    I mean kurt an layne died on the same day but a couple years apart heroin was the leading reason for kurt commiting suicide an it killed layne along with plenty other substances :( so lets jus leave them be

    They r equal in my eyes

    RIPkurt/layne

  • For everyone complaining about nirvana an stuff

    1 nirvana didnt suck an they wer a simple band but kurt spoke to everybody in the 90s in someway with his music an the energy an feelin given by only them was y they wer great an still r

    2 alice in chains wasnt as big as nirvana but i beleive there songs wer much better written especially lyrically an laynes vocals with jerry backing are incredable making them different from everybody else an they wer alternative metal

  • Alice In Chains > Soundgarden > Pearl Jam > Stone Temple Pilots > Other Grunge Artists > Nirvana

    But that's just me....

  • @parrudo77 Other grunge artists < Soundgarden < Stone Temple Pilots < Nirvana < Pearl Jam < Alice in Chains

    Thats mine. Soundgarden and STP are very close though. I feel like amongst us grunge fans Soundgarden is considdered to be a little bit better then they were and Pearl Jam always seems to get a lot of crap. I dont understand why. PJ was great. I mean I like Soundgarden but Ive heard a lot of grunge fans saying that theyre the best of them all.

    Alice is always first for me though.

  • adamsın leyn!

  • Wow, lot of Nirvana hating here... I love Nirvana but I do think Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam are slightly above Nirvana. But I love all of them and I'm glad I listen to all of them, and if anyone here doesn't listen to all 3 of them, I feel bad for you.

  • great band! good times...

  • STFU with all nirvana and AiC stuff. They are both great grunge bands . so support them and STFU with that shitty rival things. sorry for my bad english.

  • This show had to be one of Layne's greatest. Such an incredible singer....

  • These guys always kickass

  • April 5th Marks the 9th Anniversary of Layne Staley's death.

  • Thank god for bands like this who killed the Poseur sappy BS known as Glam Metal these bands had talent

  • damn shame, man Mike really hit that bass ...RIP

  • Just read of Mike Starr's passing yesterday, just plain f*cking sad. Watching this spot on performance of SOS from over 20 years ago just puts it all in perspective. That was a lifetime ago. For me, it will probably never be that good again. I was lucky enough to get to see AIC a couple of times back then when I was just a 14 year old kid. I took it for granted. Now, with time, it's a precious memory. RIP Mike and Layne. And to you reading this, listen, and most importantly, enjoy.

  • ................i wish i owned this DVD

  • Great Alice song! Nice to see Layne in his prime.

  • Lol, 101 likes and just 1 dislike.. amazing

  • what a beautiful guy is Mike starr.

  • my mom used to hang with layne and i guess mike had a crush on her ahaha she said even then it was embaressing and then she saw him on celeb rehab, she bout pissed herself

  • i was 7 when this concert was played. damn if i was 10 years older!! feel so ripped off. wish i had a time machine

  • You know, I loved them all....AIC, P'Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Mudhoney, etc. and even bands in other genres and locales like Tool, Pantera, Prong, Fear Factory, Faith No More, Type O Negative, Danzig, Soul Asylum, Ministry, Everclear, Chili Peppers, NIN, etc.

    I loved them all, and I miss them all.

    The early 90s were such an incredible period for hard rock. I cry for those days.

    Layne, Dimebag, Kurt, Pete Steele RIP---thanks for the great music. We'll never forget you.

  • layne was a fucking hunk with that hair

  • @brushy2222 I agree completly

  • ...to do, which is good. I have been singinfg for years and still can't get my voice perfect to Layne's, and nobody ever will --THAT'S A FACT!!!-- Though I have gotton good and pretty close. And hopefully my band which we just formed will get recognized and BIG because i promise you we can bring these types of RARE BANDS back ROCKIN!!! and fucking get rid of all of this crap ass music happening today...it all sucks my fucking left nut. LIVE ON AIC and unbelievable music you have brought us

  • all you guys, AIC is the greatest band to ever fucking walk the face of the earth, Layne Staley is one of a kind, way better than any other "grunge" scence frontman, or any frontman of the history of music. PJ, Nirvana, SG, STP, none of em come EVEN FUCKING CLOSE TO AIC.....and we will never see such a talented group EVER again for the history of man. I still see AiC with William, and if I close my eyes it's good, but Layne just can't be matched....and I know that's not what DuVall istrying.

  • @brushy2222 to me aic is more metal than grunge and way better than any outer Seattle band

  • i watch this every other day before bed. i can't believe it's 20 years old

  • I NEVER concidered Alice In Chains grunge.Just because they came out of Sea.the same time as Nirvana does'nt mean they're grunge.They were/are a hard rock band.(And a GREAT one at that)

  • One of the best, if not the best grunge bands of this era in the main stream. It's nice to be able to see the beginning stages of what this band came to be!

  • is it still available on vhs

  • i used to have this vhs.. i remember when i lost it too. is this on dvd now

  • @rainbolt1982 yes..on dvd...pm me for a free copy

  • @symptom1555 thats fuckin awesome if your serious how do i pm you

  • i want a copy to

  • @symptom1555 i want one too

  • @symptom1555 free copies??? where do you get them anyway?

  • @symptom1555 Free copy?!?! me too?! lmfao ;) :D xD

  • @symptom1555

    I'm i the only one that still uses vcr for my old vhs collection..? Don't feel like re-buying everything over again lol

  • @symptom1555 OMG! i want a dvd too!!

  • @rainbolt1982 what is this dvd called?

  • its a tragedy that he had leave us...He was Amazing and he can never be replaced but im glad they got back together with a new singer...Hes no Layne but atleast kids today can still experience some great music instead of all the trash thats out there now...So keep Rockin...Jerry still kicks ass

  • FUCKIN AWESOME!!!!

  • Layne:(

  • give us back Layne staley and we'll give lady gaga..

  • @WhyGo79 jajajaja, yheaaa, jaja, do you want my singature for do it? XD

  • Absolutely come let's sign up and make a pact with god to give us back Layne in return for all that crap that;s out there today!!

  • @WhyGo79 we'll trade the jonas brothers, 5 finger death punch,fall out boy, bieber, and lady gaga for layne and mike starr...

  • I don't think they would go for that. Lady gaga is too much of a freak.

  • One could only wish...

  • That is the best comment I ever seen on youtube.

    We Love you always Layne

  • unfortunatley that's not a fair deal. We'd have to throw in Nickelback too...and the Jonas brothers as a gift

  • @WhyGo79 hahahahah yea

  • @WhyGo79 Exactly. Such horrible music now. Radio sucks and is boring. What passes for talent these days is just dismal. If you can steal someone's music, rap over it or be completely auto-tuned, you're in business.  I blame shows like "American Idol," MTV and Top 40 Radio. Ellen DeGeneres has talent and knows how to judge music? Are you kidding me!

  • @WhyGo79 i think god wants us to give more than lady gaga for Layne he nis worth alot you know :O

  • Comment removed

  • @WhyGo79 I like the idea but don't rip off the afterlife, we would have to give every pop musician just to get one more show with Layne.

  • @WhyGo79 hahahahahahah agreed

  • 10/10

    AiC forever

  • Yes!! that was beautiful in every way, what a voice! what a band!

    i do wish they would have changed their name-it hurts my soul, i guess because layne's words got me through alot in my life & still do. of course, jerry wrote the music & layne wrote the words & sometimes the whole band wrote the songs together but either way how can they still be AIC?

    how hard would it have been to change their name?

  • oh shit...mike starr's on celebrity rehab

  • i kno.. it feels wierd watchin this and watchin him on there

  • jb, also you have to remember that jerry cantrell wrote most of the music for aic, not layne! layne may have been the better singer of the 2 easily, but jerry wrote the better songs! i think layne wrote the better lyrics, but thats only because i relate more to him than jerry! but you have to give jrry cantrell credit for aic's work as well as layne! laynes voice and jerrys songwriting and guitar playing is what really made aic great, not just layne! either way RIP layne, your still the man

  • @Oxrj: Absolutely. By comparing Layne to Kurt, I was in NO way diminishing Jerry's contribution. HUGE fan, have all his solo work etc.

    I have mixed feelings about the band still being called AIC, but glad to see the surviving 3 members are sticking together. They still have a lot more great music to put out.

  • Layne my hero !!!

  • What a voice

  • if layne staley, dimebagdarrel, cliff burton and randy castillo came back from the dead and made a band i would kill a man to see a show

  • Layne was easily head and shoulders above Kurt. AIC's songs were much more well written, and structured than Nirvana. Not to mention just plain more talented.

    You can give "Smells Like Teen Spirit" as the spark that began the grunge era to Nirvana, but overall the album Nevermind didn't stand up to Pearl Jam's 10 by any stretch of the imagination.

    You can fantasize all day about where Kurt would have been if he hadn't died, personally I think they would have faded away long ago.

  • My english is not enough good to say how deep i agree with you

  • to jb4375 thats your opinion, not a fact! i love layne and kurt both and do believe that layne was a more talented singer (obviously) but i like the imperfections of kurts voice a lot and the graininess of it and i like the punk sound of nirvana as i love punk rock! either way i love both nirvana and alice in chains, but i disagree completely about pearl jam, always thought they were a boring band for the most part! dont act like your opinion is fact though because thats just ignorance!

  • and your damn crazy to think nirvana would have faded away fast! they were the most popular rock band in the world from 91-94 (and even arguably til around 96-97) so your just showing your disdain for their fame! and pearl jam sucks dude, they are not even close to aic or nirvanas level! at least thats my opinion! either way, the rock world would be lightyears better if kurt and layne could have stayed around longer!

  • @JB4375 No way would Kurt just faded away. He might not have been as prolific or taken longer breaks, but I believe he would've continued to write very hooky, radio-friendly tunes with some edge. He also would've most likely immersed himself more in graphic arts, painting, sculpture and collaborating with other artists.

  • @JB4375 dude...

  • @drumsRbetter666 Duuuuuude.....

  • @JB4375 it seems to me like grunge bands back then traveled together.

    The whole thing blew up in the 90/91 scene, we had Nevermind, Facelift, Ten, Badmotorfinger

    the 1992/93 scene: Core, Sweet Oblivion, Dirt, Sap, Vs, etc

    the 94/95 scene: Jar Of Flies, In utero, Vitalogy, Purple, Superunknown

    then anything after that was a rarity. it only lasted so long

  • @JB4375 Nirvana was punk band

    and AIC is metal.

    you can't and shouldn't compare those two.

    both bands were great.

  • @MirLjudima your right there is no comparison alice in chains are amazing and timeless ...nirvana was a fad at best...the most overrated band of all time! it makes me sick how they make them out to be so great

  • @MirLjudima Play with lables if you want but to me Rancid = Punk, and Judas Priest = Metal. These band came out of the same area, during the same time aka The Seattle Sound and later Grunge. it's not only fair to compare and contrast them, but warranted.

    Had I said something stupid like: "AIC kicks the crap out of the Beach Boys!!' THEN you would have had a point. Different time, style, genre etc. See the difference?

    PS IMHO AIC really does kick the crap out of the Beach Boys. LOL.

  • @JB4375 fuck off cunt stop comparing 

  • @10cst3r Nice argument. Truth hurts doesn't it? Nevermind was Nirvana's best album, and they showed signs of wear as each successive album had less to offer, and the same dull whining theme. And some want to compare him to John Lennon?? LMAO. Kurt doesn't even hold a candle to Dave Grohl whose already demonstrated my talent since Nirvana ended. Better voice, better song structure, lyrics, he even plays multiple intruments. Go play your nirvana cd's and have a good cry.

  • @JB4375 demonstrated more talent*

  • @JB4375 nice life live on and just listen to the music derick

  • @JB4375 i also then stone temple pilots is above nirvana

  • @JB4375 well i agree AIC is by fat the most talented and band deserving to be called the greatest of the grunge bands.. the diversity of there songs and lyrics and guitar riff and great vocals from jer and layne..... Nirvana is over all a simple band but i do admit they have a lot of cathchy riffs and melodies, even though lyrically they arnt great...still good music to listen to

  • They so kicks nirvanas ass!

    Pisses me of that Layne got 22 seconds when he died on CNN. Kurt Cobain got several months.

    AIC songs where more dark, intense and had a meaning that you could understand.

    AIC cant be the best band, but they sure are one of my absolute favorites!!

  • It's always the least talented/most known people who get all the coverage. For example, if one of The Jonas Brothers and David Gilmour of Pink Floyd died on the exact same day, who do you think would get more press coverage?

  • certain people don't get the respect they deserve, dimebag darrell didn't get crap either, but if slash died right now, people wouldn't let it go, just like they won't let go of michael jackson

  • Slash is a god, he deserves it

  • that's completely irrelevant

  • Guess sometimes its better to burn out than fade away... Kurt went out with a BANG at #1, Lane killed himself a little each day secluding himself so bad that not even Family knew him anymore. Sad in both cases, but yes, I think AIC was the better as well...

  • Good point. To be honest though, I could give a damn how much time they got on CNN when they died. It's irrelevant.

  • exactly man

  • aic rulz forever!!!

  • I forgot that a boot came out of this disc and kiced me when this song came on.

  • The real deal.. That powered the wave.. Thanks for the awesome quality and memories..

  • Thx for nice vid! AIC

  • thanks for the quality vid and enabled status. it rocks

  • god their so fucking amazing

  • great!

    R.i.P

  • they are the best grunge band ever in my opinion

  • i agree

  • They are ONE OF THE BEST BAND OF EVERY TIME!!

  • my fucking god. they are so good. layne you are so missed.

  • Awesome
