  • 103,967...and i gotta say...in honor of Layne...Should not have called this AIC.

  • Will is my favorite singer of all time and this is my second favorite song off their Black Gives Way to Blue album!

  • I love it when the two most thumbed up comments argue with each other.

  • 101,000 even

  • 98,578

  • ii just dont even know what to say, ts just not the same without layne :(

  • @milliemom50 no, it's definitely not the same. but that doesn't mean that it's worse. Rock on AIC!

  • sure. my computer thinks everything is metal. what the fuck do ya think grunge is? What about AIC is metal? Think so? OK. Me, not so much. Listen...i never thought of AIC as Metal. News to me.

  • @fannnnntasticly I'd say that, in the case of Black Gives Way to Blue, at least, they're metal

  • @fannnnntasticly Alice in Chains was on the metal circuit @ one time. They opened for Slayer and Megadeth a while back like in 1990 or 1991, I think that may be why people have come to that conclusion. Not necessarily a matter of their playing style per se, but a conclusion based on association.

  • Sounds like garbage. WTF did you record this with? Your cell phone?

  • Whose more grungy than AIC?!?*@(#(!)

  • @fannnnntasticly alice in chains isnt grunge

  • @fannnnntasticly they are grunge but metal oreiented.just like nirvana is also grunge but is punk oriented.you know what i mean

  • @Newfoundgod Every era has its turn. If you ask me there hasn't been much going on musically since the 90s. Bands like Alice in Chains, Nirvanna are in a class of their own. They weren't contrived but progressive. But must add that Jerry Cantrells solo work although heavy enough to be metal, is like nothing else. I just find it hard to put certain bands in any "category" and some musicians are really unique. If you know what I mean...i miss the 90s...

  • @fannnnntasticly haha well i guess when you put it that way.ill agree the late 80s and early 90s were the best times for me.this new era of emo and scremo just doesnt cut it.

  • Fuck Ted Nugent, by the way.

  • @bourbonflow hey man cant be dissin on freddy but aic dose kick his ass lol

  • this is just an insult to post this, I do appreciate the love, but really, control yourself. They deserve so so much better. seriously, shame on you.

  • nice sound quality...

  • nickelback and alice in chains are both good band but don't even sound alike so all u music haters need to grow some balls and make ur own music insteed of bagging others music as everone know that u bag others because u can't do it yourself u waste of life scum lets see u make an album then !!

  • Nickelback is terrible...They don't even compare to Alice In Chains

  • @Burnyoursins Yeah. Nickelback is pure shit. They don't even compare to The B-52's....that's just sad.

  • this is my favorite track on the alby, the first verse speaks volumes

  • Wow!...Did that guy REALLY compare AIC to NickleDick?? Alice In Chains writes REAL music from the heart. Nickelback are pussy sellouts.

  • Hold that thought...I am pissing on you...open yer mouth, my load is coming....This is how you remind me....

  • @fireontheriver ill throw your ass in a river of fire

  • far too much distortion, either in guitar or video quality, gd it

  • Dude, my comment thing just told me to type in "Nickleback". I'm not even kidding! Nickleback is watching and spreading their AIDS to us commenting.

  • Well said....a vagina with a long braided ponytail pretty much sums up nickleback...an extremely experienced prostitutes' vagina at that...

  • I will love Alice in Chains till the day i die, with or without layne. Of course it's not quite the same, but the spirit of the band is living on and that's what's important. Duvall's got passion, u can't deny that

  • Until that glorious day, im gonna have to settle for watching that video where their lead businessman gets hit in the head with a bottle (god bless you my friend, whoever you were) over and over till at least HE receives the bullet in the head that only people like john lennon and dimebag seem to cop. Why is that you ask? Well as bill hicks would say, it's because those gunman AND bands like nickleback ARE, infact, children of satan let loose on the earth to lower the standards....FACT

  • Nickleback aren't even a band, don't give them that kind of dignity, it might be the news they need to inflate their egos to the point where they all wank eachother to death...u don't want to be up on a manslaughter charge, it's not worth it people. Let's be clear- nickleback HAHAHAHA...sorry, (cough, cough)...nickleback write jingles. If you love "edgy" pepsi and mcdonalds commercials, you will love this francise. Would you like a santana solo with that? Please die you mongaloid cunts

  • a mongaloid cunt just gives me a picture of a vagina with a long braided pony tail ha ha ha ha ha

  • Nickleback where respected as post-grung bands are when they fiirst started, but something happened and they got caught up in their fame. They tried doing the "anti-album" thing that Nirvana did with In Utero but with Darkhorse but that just made them look even more conceded. If I had to win Nickleback or Depeche Mode tickets (refrence to Subway) I'd take Depeche Mode ( eh, I would anyway cause I'm goth, also grunge)

  • LOLOLOL....thats was badass!

  • This is the first time I have ever made a comment on a video but I have to ask this.... How the hell does nickelback ever compare or even come up in conversation with Alice in chains? What the F*** has happend to good music that people talk about nickelback and Alice in chains in the same sentence? Wow!

  • Nickelback shall NOT be spoken of in this thread! Posers!

  • first barack now duvall power to the people!

  • LOOOOL! Agreed!

  • Saw this live last night at Buzzfest, fav song from new album, which kills. Love it!

  • how was the show in all good?

  • gotta agree the new album kills,

    all the guys are great musicians and it shows on every song

    cant wait to see them live

  • Ripped off from 'The Who'.

  • Sean is like a greek god just in his own world in the back

  • The sound is shit, but I can tell, I'm gonna love this tune. Gotta get me the new album fer sure.

  • dude wtf? AIC aren't like nickleback they've been around for years and pritty much defined the grunge genre even tho nirvanna had bigger name it was AIC who made grunge to all true music fans. This is one of the best albums I've heard in a while just shows u the lack of talent newer bands have compare to bands that have been around for a while.

  • I know this is late but if you want to talk about bands/artists that have been around for a while why don't you give credit where it's due? Google the Godfather of Grunge and let me know what you come up with = P

  • Neil Young maybe the godfather of grunge but Jerry hates the G word.

  • @dangle128.. yah i took your advise and wasn't to impressed.. = /

  • AIC may not be suited for everyone's taste but one thing they are is original. that old guy is a chameleon with all kinds of influences and here and there they like to throw in a cover. i've heard him cover pink floyd, hendrix, david bowie..just all kinds of stuff and he does it quite well if you ask me. i would love to hear him jam out to 'free bird,' cause 'that old guy,' can freakin' rock better than anyone i know in the biz...sorry nickelback, i seen them twice...i want my $ back ;(

  • Jerry's biggest influence is Elton John and Ace Frehley

  • elton john plays piano on the last song of the new album "black gives way to blue".

  • I seen these guys at the state fair last year they opened for Rick Springfeild. That old dude was crouched over playing the guitar all they did was play Lynard Skynard and Bad Company covers. I wanted my five bucks back after the 5th song. The crowd was all like FREE BIRD !! Why even create a band if you can't write your own music???

  • So, why yo are listen acid bubble from them.

    Dont lie, you love AIC.

  • You got me pegged, I am anxious to hear all the new stuff. You are the only one who gets me. Cheers

  • If maggots built a monumet to their god out of flaming piles of excrement and gave it a name, that name would be Nickelback.

  • Lol sounds like nickleback? Wow, not only can kids today not MAKE music they don't know what good music fucking sounds like! Wow I bet even Nickleback would be offended at the ignorance of thier "number1fan". Lol wow, just go, hit puberty and kill yourself fuckbag

  • nickelback are sellout fucktards. they play radio friendly garbitch with no artistic merit. complete neo-hair metal trash.

    the talent they have is smothered by their generic wank-rock sound.

    and the lead singer makes me want to kick him in the face.

  • LMAO! "Nickleback!?" LOL! OMFG! I can't stop laughing!

  • alice rule, nickleback can go fuck right off.

  • Who fecin' cares. the audio sucks.

  • they sing a song that sais california i found some one to take my place or something like that what is it

  • yeah its called check my brain

    and its "calafornias alright, somebody check my brain" :)

  • WTF? There's actually someone out there who thinks Nickelback came before AIC? Hah!

  • nickelback is a work of CRAP!!!! and this isn't a new band. these guys go way back before any of the bands you recognize that sound like this. and the "125 year old guy" fucking kicks ass man!! you got it backwards guy, nickelback will never sound like alice in chains!! THE END.

  • Nickelbag is so horrible you douche face. Clearly you have no idea how lucky Nickelback was to even have this band as an influence with or without LS. Eat it buddy you are pathetic and lame and Nickelback is a burned out wanna be hard alternative band that has no identity and solely reisdes on their melody lines. Musically they STINK...pure and simple....just another pop wonder with no feeling or meaning....I usually don't get this pissed but what you said is total BS so eat it fool!

  • fuck you

  • NICKELBACK sucks alice in chains were around longer then that garbage nickelback. Nickelback copied alice in chains. Fucktard

  • cant say im a AiC fan, just giving this new album a listen...though i will agree with uknoitizme...nickelback sucks ;)

  • @zenarrrow dude AIC started long before you were a sperm swimming in your dad's balls. do a little research before you make a stupid ass comment jackass

  • I was there. Great show...Alice is back!

  • It is great the guys aren't sitting around wasting their talent. People shouldn't mourn their lives away. Unfortunately, I guess, there wasn't anything much any could do if Layne was determined to drug himself to death. Anyone, including me, who likes their music, wishes he hadn't died. I, personally, am glad to see them back. Check my brain is awsome and has the A I C sound. I think Layne would be pleased with what they have done.

  • wd isnt layne but get over it the music out today sucks so bad right now that i welcome aic back anyday would u rather listen to fall outboy if you miss layne listen to the original stuff or mad season but stop hating

  • Yeah, I think this is the best song off their new album...cryyyyyying in the corner...

  • New album is sick. I tell you. Sick. It'll be a classic.

  • Completely agree.

  • Yeah I love AIC but the sound quality in this recording is awful.

  • shut up you cunt

  • Layne is 6feet under but I'll always love him and have a massive amount of intrigue and respect for the poor dude so it does almost make me feel a bit guilty when I say that I like AIC without him (not as much obviously!) and I reckon thats why there are so many people who have that feeling...they kinda feel like they're being unfaithful to Layne! lol! I totally understand it but I cant help but dig the new song,cant wait for the album and cant wait to see them play at Nottingham Rock City! oww!

  • .....and I'll happily put my hand up to the fact that it took the new single off the new album to actually make me (a die hard Grunge/AIC/Layne Staley fan!) realise this again.... 'CHECK MY BRAIN' is a fuckin' sick tune,man,and I only first heard it the other night and to be brutally honest; Staley would have sounded better on it but you gotta take what you're given!

  • Too right man, true grunge singers MUST be strung-out on junk!! lol!

    But seriously, theres always this bullshit that AIC aren't the same anymore coz of the lack of Layne - clearly this is true, I mean, I'm a singer/songwriter and one of my biggest influences, sound-wise and lyric-wise, is Layne Staley. BUT, as somebody else wrote on this page, Alice in Chains were (and are!) more than just Layne Staley ...

  • this song probably rocks but this sounds like a phone cam recording

  • Comment removed

  • sound quality is like 3 kbps

    and it still sounds cool!

  • Ducking EMI!

    Copyrights!

  • that's what layne did...

  • thats because layne was strung out ...like a real grunge singer...

  • that's because he was grooving, it's what people do when they have any taste in music at all, it's called having energy as a performer

  • He swayed his head because he was strung out? I'll bet you've never even seen heroin, much less know the effects. He swayed his head cause he was caught in a groove, fucking moron.

  • well Layne is dead and and gone, so get over it already. This band was more than just Layne.

  • damn right man......AIC is back again!!!!!

  • That's obvious, but it's STILL a terrible loss... and a slim chance usually that a band in their position can recover and maintain their sound after losing a lead member.

    I hope they keep it comin'. They ound great with the new singer

  • ok have fun pretending. we'll all enjoy the amazing new aic album.

  • Jerry shaved his beard since i last saw him. He looked cool with it.

  • he wants to look like he did 18 years ago lol yay AIC is back, cant wait for the new album...

  • Check out the brand new "Whisky" colored G&L Jerry Cantrell signature Rampage he's playing. These just came out.

  • I can't wait for the new album!!

  • Jerry postal si hdzovac, jebem ti majku izdajničku.

  • sounds nothing like layne but glad they are back.

  • Sounds like jerry though!

  • back in black haha  get it the singer :)

  • HA lol! lmao!

  • there are better versions of this song on youtube... it's an amazing tune... DuVall is filling in very well...much props... Layne is the greatest...RIP

  • you know, at first I was like 'how dare you put someone in Layne's shoes.... But now I'm like...Hey lets give Duvall a chance and see what he can do. I think Alice in Chains is realy for a comeback and I'm ready for that first album. R.I.P. Layne

  • Difficult to hear, but sounds so badass, can't wait for the album. AIC is back!!! With a vengeance.

  • happy birthday layne!

  • no body should listen to this cause it is so distorted....

  • is this song called acid bubble or your decision? because the bonus tracks of BGWTB in I tunes say your decision (Live) and the only song of the new album performed live are a looking in view and check my brain

  • Your Decision was played live at the LA listening party last month

  • mmh thanks! i forgot that performance

  • awful sound quality

  • Cant wait to hear the studio version of this song. Pretty bad ass song. I hope they release it as the 3rd single of the album.

  • Couldn't hear much of it. But at least there was a solo, and the little breakdown in the middle and end sounded cool.

  • this audio is shit.... i can't call it till i hear the album

  • your a dumbass.. jerry has and still DOES write the same styled riffs as b4.. your a biased fagget. guess what.. Laynes dead... has been for the better half of ten years. GET OVER it.. im sure even he has.. lol... jesus christ wed all like to see layne up there but lane ignored his band for a decade and then killed himself slowly .. not jerrys fault you prick

  • hahahahahah hater!

  • shitty quality... but this album is gonna kick major ass

  • sound is preety poor

  • pretty good

  • i heard from a very unreliable birdy that they only kept their name cos layne staley's mom asked them to keep it.

  • thats interesting!!

  • sounds sludgy as fuck... I like it... at least, from what I can hear from this muffled mess, it sounds good

  • glupi crnjo, napuši se govana.Jerry jebem ti mater šugavu , prodao si hajduk.

  • dobra, hahaha

  • I just love it when people care more about the name of the band than the actual music itself...

    :/

  • Comment removed

  • yeah well i cant care much for the musuic on this vid cos i cant hear a fucking thing its a total mess so i may as well bitch about the name init.

  • agreed

  • Yup. Try telling people you Like the New GNR Line up just as much as if not more than the classic line up..... See how ya like that

  • Sounds like it to me.

  • hey heres news for ya, NOBODY CARES

  • you obviously do or else you wouldnt have comented.

  • mix of frogs/sludge factory/bleed the freak

  • too bad the album is on the net for download but you have to pay one euro for it with paypal.

  • your gay

  • Man... even when disguised by shitty audio quality... AIC still manages to kick ass!

  • classic Alice. Kinda sounds like it's in the same vein as Frogs and Sludge Factory.

  • Man, I wish the sound on this wasn't all static-filled. I can't really tell what the song sounds like.

  • This song is fucking insane.

    lyc4040 is just retarded.

  • if you think this song sucks, you apparently do not like AIC in the first place. That or you cant get past the poor audio quality. this song is win

    or you just suck

  • hahahahaha

  • the 2010 decade will be with good music

    AIC, STP, and Pearl Jam are back

  • stp gonna have a new album?

  • dude ive been thinking that all along

  • I must've listened to this song like 20times already. :)

  • ALICE  ARE BACK !

  • what a beautiful song! what is particularly great - it sounds very AIC-like, the sound I have always adored. Jerry rocks!

  • Afro Bubble

  • wooah!!!

    AWSOME!!!

  • this album is gonna rule!

  • Well said odfoto ,Will rocks!

  • I'm a huge fan of Layne's, his voice is still the best rock voice I've ever heard. But I'm also looking forward to this album a lot. New material for the new AIC is perfect, they are all good musicians and song writers and I'm very happy for them. I know the band will never forget Layne, they will always honour his memory, and the best way for the rest of us to do the same is to listen both to old and new material from this good group. Go AIC!!!

  • that is the coolest fucking song i have ever heard

  • Sounds epic!

  • OMG!! This is perfect!!

  • Holy fuck!
