@drewbie691 EVER

[haxor758]

[jbruder02]

How did Layne make it 6 more years after this performance?  Such a shame what drugs does to these individuals. RIP Layne

[SteveSparx]

Masters of the Genre

[Liveoneut]

This particular song, the opening to the set is in my opinion, is one of the best moments in live music. The feel of the song, the gradual pick up of the song, with each of the guys coming out on stage. Just wonderful!!!! Thanks for sharing.

[NorthwestMusicScene]

Layne and Andy are bar none my two favorite singers of all time. This video will always give me goosebumps when I watch it.

[LAinMPLS]

This has always obviously been one of my many favs. I will never forget you and neither will my daughter. See u in the afterlife!

[NorthwestMusicScene]

@LAinMPLS :)

[gimmevideobish]

repeating in my head... if I can't be my own ... I'd feel better dead.

Sad these words ring so true for Layne. RIP

[84Bronco351]

1:39 when he goes toward the mic,I don't know if it's just me,but it's like the song is making him know he's down in a deep hole. Poor guy looked like he wanted to cry

[stickypool]

Layne was a great loss to the music world, he contributed so much in his short life. We the fans will never forget him..

[the82spartans]

best song ever

[PlayItLoud15Dana]

I wish Layne didn't die.. 

[geinsmo]

Fuck the 4 people that disliked this. . .seriously. Fuck 'em

[309Edman]

Hoping your wings are no longer denied RIP Layne

[kirby2144]

One of my fav bands and songs...LOVE IT!!!!

[TheMeangreendean]

The whole band is so freaking amazing I wish there were more with this kind of talent ans soul.

[TheGhosOfSparta]

So Sad

[KristinWatkins]

goospumps every time !

[porosimetro]

MALEDETTA DROGA! Layne r.i.p.

[sshhrroooomm]

timeless... real music..

r.i.p layne

[Mike420F21]

Beautiful

[AustinHansen]

Too bad people focus so much on Layne's influence since he passed.. I think it will only be when Jerry dies that people give him the credit he is due. Both such amazing musicians

[TheDonIrish]

@AustinHansen Jerry is phenomenal.

[pinktool78]

Beautiful Layne :(



[Atiradeonvideo]

lol title's wrong it's 4:18 not 4:17

[ThePrayinggrantis]

i know its already been said but this song is incredible. no one these days writes or sings music that is so purely from the soul. its hard to believe how amazing this is

[austin10123]

The bass makes the song

[211076stephen]

4 total twats, how can you not like this? amazing peformance, Layne baring his heart and soul here!

[ballsthatclank]

so sad.

[rrcollings]

I don't think kurt and Layne gave 2 shits about MTV even back then. lol

[SupaVex]

@rrcollings thinkin the same thing

[rsohlich1]

@rrcollings EXACTLY

[PrimalNotion1]

@rrcollings They really didn't. Occasionally, the techs backstage would bring Kurt a guitar, that they did a shitty job of tuning, to which he would respond by playing really nasty and off key. Sort of as a 'fuck you' type statement haha

[nwokie25]

@rrcollings actually kirt was freaking out about it cuz he was such a perfectionist. there is documentuary about it. it was really cool. aic hadnt played with each other for a while when they did this. just an fyi

[ZnbLin]

How can a human being dislike it

?!

[mike62895]

the dislike bar is just about the size of justin biebers clitoris

[1gcjh1]

Layne has such an Amazing voice<3

[MsJilsephonie]

its so hard to choose favorite aic song cuz they all great like man in the box, rooster, down in the hole, would, love hate love etc. but i think this is my fav cuz it just touches my soul deeply like no other rip beautiful soul layne staley the best singer ever walk this earth

[isaaccobainner]

This shit better not make my cry...

[aicstpgnr88]

thanks layne love u bro

[05mussio]

Damn I love this band. I miss the old AIC, I miss Layne. Never the same without him. This is the greatest music ever.

[309Edman]

Layne can never be replaced A.I.J for life !!



[EyeRing100]

back when mtv gave a hoot

[XWHITEoKNIGHTX19]

Friends don't let friends listen to rap music.

[MrXxMCRxx]

ONE OF THE BEST VIDS!!! TEARS

[devoiddude]

I love how the biggest roar from the crowd is for layne.......you deserved it buddy

[ronnie183]

Prologue to a Funeral... like Nirvanas unplugged concert. R.I.P to all those who could not climb out of the hole.

[Clayman1911]

I can't get enough of this, it still gives me goosebumps as soon as I hear the opening riff then Layne's voice makes my hair stand on end. Fucking A man, we lost so many good musicians... R.I.P. to them all.

[mattyb567567]

I just bought The Alice in Chains unplugged and i just sat in awe for over an hour these guy's were truly amazing we miss you Layne.

[aicfan4ever71]

my favorite song......i understand what my brother Angel went through before his death....i tried to keep him in the house after an overdose and he went out the next morning to get well...R.I.P BRO AND LAYNE .

[MrChiefchuckles]

Why? Why can't I NOT cry when hearing this song?

[pipefitter353]

haunting song as it is...to see him in this video singing it is even worse. sad end to a great voice and performer.

[jasonconaway6969]

Wasnt the message on the guitar, for Metallica?

[Varkoz]

@jasonconaway6969 yes it was. they wear picking fun at them for cutting there hair

[0xXAllForNothingXx0]

To dislike is to not have a soul.

[jpinto6887]

Layne sang from within..truly missed

[Dimezerker]

Awesome !!!

[90eyehategod]

cool song, and sad at the same time...

by the way no more publicity ok! i just wanted to see the video fuck you movistar!!!

[frackus101]

I just came from watching an Amy Winehouse video and I'll ask the same thing here.......why Layne why....

[nhenson1]

4 people are worthless

[MrHinaken]

sad what drugs do to a talented person!

[RamenTheKittyKat]

@MrHinaken Yes its sad what drugs can do to a GOD OF MUSIC!!!!!!

[ajmdrummer]

@MrHinaken i know. hes visibly messed up here. you can just tell

[plimps101]

Just a brutal honest expression. You just don't get this anymore in rock and roll. I'll always turn to AiC when I think I have real problems.

[mattnj211]

This is definitly the best version on here, sounds and looks awesome.

[SomethingInTheWay23]

miss you layne

[NirvanaConcerts]

"If I can't feel my own... I'd be better dead..."

That's about as real as it gets folks.

[HitTheLights1981]

Awesome song.

[MELODY59833]

OMG dead!!!!!!!! gorgeous!!! <3

[vedderclone]

amazing album..........whoever thought alice in chains could put u to sleep so peacefully? oh ya 'jar of flies'

[3Roymunson]

Greatest song. Sadly, as you can see, one of the most troubled artist.. Ive danced with her..but never went to the needle.

[fullbowe38]

This song reaches into my chest, just past my soul, and grabs my heart.

[jkoni09]

Epic......

[danicaracoles]

I feel you pain :(

[tylerjaymilmine]

A voice from the Gods...

[nostalgicdrummer]

Kurt and Layne would be turning in their graves if they knew what MTV has become.

[dick3234]

@nostalgicdrummer Mtv was a piece of shit back then too, with a few exceptions.

[fsquared49]

@nostalgicdrummer kurt hated mtv and felt they were just using them. he would probably be happy it turned into the crap it is now

[ptown77]

@nostalgicdrummer Yeah no joke. MTV then from groundbreaking and daring to a pop culture trash machine that puts the likes of Paris Hilton on the forefront while forgetting their roots. A f*cking shame, really. In a way, I'm glad these don't have to see this shit.

[FourNow4]

@nostalgicdrummer I don't think that they liked MTV, in the first place.

[Psilocybong420]

@nostalgicdrummer It wasn't the greatest back then either,I mean yeah you at least got music videos and beavis and butthead but you still had to sit through LL Cool J and TLC and California love 100 times a day.

[ledgm108]

@nostalgicdrummer yeah. because i'm sure either one gave a flying fuck about mtv

[teethgrinder07]

@nostalgicdrummer i seriously dont think they would care they hated it

[evilinsydme]

@nostalgicdrummer MtV has been and always will be a destroyer, rather than a promoter of the music we all love. Do some research and think a lil about it.

[ElectricTN]

@nostalgicdrummer Fuck MTV! Layne would of gave a flying shit. He was not about all the PR hype bullshit. He music reflects his soul 100% loud and clear. This track hands down is one of the best recorded tracks of all times! Now I will try to pass this fucked up sobriety test for my comment to appear.

[TheZowwee]

@nostalgicdrummer IF KURT AND LAYNE were still alive MTV would not b what it is...nor would music be the SHIT it is today...we wouldn't have Bieber or Lady and that makes me ; ) smile.

[zeroellett]

@nostalgicdrummer I fuckin hear ya man.

[bwallace77]

@nostalgicdrummer Kurt and Layne didn't care about MTV they just used them like they used the two of them.

[Psilocybong420]

This song gives me the chills every time

[ba773r1na]

Οh, this is so moving... I feel like.. I can't describe! Thank you Layne for this song, I hope you rest peacful together with your friends up there.

[luisfbcarvalho]

a great voice and a great guy that went too soon...R.I.P. :((((

[goactopus]

I think I know why he's wearing sunglasses :p

[Layne77Staley]

Story of my life.

[RescueMeSheila]

if you disliked this you have no business clicking on an Alice in Chains video in the first place.

[ellimacliebtoznerol6]

Please don't anyone take this as an insult. But does anyone agree that if they were to make a movie about Layne's life, Robert Pattinson could play him? I don't know what it is--the sunglasses/angle or what but , but that thought just struck me...

NO ONE would ever be able to get Layne down to a T but...who do you think could personify him well?

[ilooking4u]

obviously the 4 dislikes had bad haircuts.

[MrCarlobass]

queste sono song!!!

[TheBabs91]

Fuck heroine...I want Layne Staley back.

[MsF1chick]

Would you believe I started crying... <3

[ellimacliebtoznerol6]

@MsF1chick I absolutely would. I did too. :>)

[MsF1chick]

@ellimacliebtoznerol6 normally this song doesn't make me cry, but just watching Layne sing his heart out, looking quite sick from his addiction, and just thinking that his addiction is what eventually killed him, brought tears to my eyes...

Rest in peace, Layne: we love you and we miss you dearly <3

[Rosalejendra]

Repeating in my head...If I cant be my own...Id feel better dead ♫♪ u.u ♥

[maleknarcoth]

4 people are dumb

[bethylindsay]

just want to hug him!

[larrybiggs1]

try not to listen to this song drunk, especially if you are a sad drunk

[RaVexChainz]

@larrybiggs1 Wtf?

[bongofury67]

@cursedswordsman It was a living hell cost me my home my family everything

[Valdivieso2112]

This is one of my all time favorite songs. EVER.

[zatbecrazy14]

I remember when I listened to there music when I was a litle kid and I didn't know Lanye had died and I still thought he sounded amazing.

[Bradtabs924]

rainy mood + this

[UseYourImagination88]

One word:

P E R F E C T I O N!!!!

[mattchallas]

how does this only have 233,124 views? so good.

[boocheezyproductions]

Truth is they cant do MTV Unplugged anymore. Because the only music anyone in our damn generation will listen to is processed music. Forreal. It's like Mcdonalds. Its not good for you, it's not even good tasting, and people still eat it up. Justin Bieber is a freaking Big Mac.

[broveyUT]

even though i know what song is coming on it still makes me emotional when layne comes on stage. greatness cut short. such a awesome musician cut short due to drugs. makes me want to cry.

[hcdiveteambrian]

@broveyUT the very relationship, drugs were due to the life of layne. what we knew of him, was the creative darkness of the 2 put together. The run of his talented production would not of occured without the use. The result was the best lyricist, and monster vocalist the planet will ever know. He was a beast!

[ElieBlues]

bieber is the man

[cursedswordsman]

@ElieBlues Lol.

[MsF1chick]

@ElieBlues lolwut?

[bongofury67]

@Agnostic1breed  As a former heroin addict I so feel the pain with you brother. I was lucky to survive. RIP Layne

[wagz420]

@bongofury67 we all are lucky if u touch that shit and make it out i consider u lucky

[cursedswordsman]

@bongofury67 For real? What was it like?

[emoslut11]

Checkout Carrion by Fall Through iris, on itunes or amazon.com.

[mitc8141]

AIC kicked out Mike early because of his drug use, but they couldn't with Layne for obvious reasons. They subjected Layne with "Tough Love" which caused all the animosity between the band, Mike and Layne. Mike saw Layne just before he died & couldn't live with seeing what the drugs had done to him, eventually leading to his own drug death. RIP guys. Great voice. Great Band.

[jakeTheMbonz]

Shh please, the lord is singing a song!

[Agnostic1breed]

looking at Layne in this video you can just see and feel the pain of addiction. I too am a heroin user and it's pure hell. The only reason I "survived" and he didn't is he had the money to feed the monster more than I. I know for a fact that if I had the amount of money he had I too would be gone.

[eagles665]

Just fell in love with Layne for the 300,000th time....<3

[psychaospath]

If a time machine is invented before I die, im goin back to the 90's. Stayin there til I kick the bucket.

[D3thT0ne]

get a kick out of all the kids that are like RIP layne that were like 4 when this shit came out if they were even born yet......lolololololololololol­ololololol

[wild1033]

@D3thT0ne So let me get this straight, you don't want 'kids' to enjoy good music like this and 'kids' aren't allowed to show respect? You make no sense guy. I hope you get neutered so none of us have to worry about you breeding.

[LewLew666]

Makes me bust a tear everytime, just seeing his sad heroined-out face while singing these words...yet I can't stop listening to his hauntingly beautiful voice!!!

[redheadbananafly]

From a time when artist was worth respect for making music that reflected resl life

[hbhollybuchanan76]

Alice In Chains : a symphony orchestra led by an angel with an air raid siren of a voice. it will never be as beautiful as this day in '96 ever again. Layne Thomas Staley lives each time I hit l >

[Dylan94rocker]

Layne you're the only one who recognizes the pain in me RIP man

[tillman40]

MTV moved away from music and tried to become a legitimate TV station with a music/pop culture feel...then they tried to shift the youth culture away from rock to rap. And they were successful unfortunately....

[schmirk2]

@tillman40 You call that rap? Aint no rap on MTV bro. Get real. Only 'C'rap.

[kamikazi5489]

Doesnt get any better than this. The power of his voice to reach deep within your soul. The pain and agony he conveys in his voice. Nothing can ever touch this. 

[GregGreg1983]

I HATE HEROIN ! IT TOOK A GREAT SINGER AND BURIED HIM IN THE DIRT R.I.P LAYNE !

[BlkendGaming]

Damn right it is the voice of an angel u will always be missed layne may u rest in peace.

[76majesty]

beautiful... r.i.p layne

[BacktothatgooleMusic]

Beautiful song ..quality all around.

[ZeldaFoxEars]

@justagirl123431 Shut up you FAIL at trolling.

[elkikeman882]

@justagirl123431 Shut the @#$% up, @#$%&!

[jakeTheMbonz]

From his head, through his soul, into our ears, locked forever in our hearts. Thank you Layne!

[bLLhog08]

absolutely fucking amazing 

[TheChaosGirl89]

I always start crying when I hear this song... :'( there's no one like Layne Staley...he can never be replaced :( <3

[MarkoAnzio]

Poor Layne. He looked so withered and weak in this video. I could only imagine how he looked in the end.

[PlayItLoud15Dana]

Not that I am comparing, but you never hear good voices like Layne or Kurt Cobain any more. Just autotunned or rappers that you can't understand.

I love this song. So amazing.

[Necrofiable]

day 01 - your favorite song

[nerdwithhat]

This song gives me shivers whenever I listen to it... RIP LAYNE

[48crazyhorse48]

rest in piece buddy. your up there with the greatest musicians of all time. brad,jimmy,jim,miss joplin,jerry, any many others.

[suzyj1123]

God his voice, such a gift

[AwesomeSauceLimited]

Effortless genius.

[druidbuff101]

Awww, Mtv unplugged. I miss when Mtv was still about music and didnt suck donkey balls.

[BjCryBabyPenn]

@druidbuff101 , Today the artist look good but sond like shit, they need to sing with playback.
