Alice in Chains - Would? Fan Video 1993

[TheHTownLEGEND]

Best band ever.

[ignescentphoenix]

This is BETTER than any digital video I've seen. :)

[hilldiggity]

@ignescentphoenix That is such a huge compliment. Thank you so much! I'm still proud of this. :)

[mrguitarman151]

so did u meet layne,jerry and mike? that would be awesome!!! its still cool that u meat sean kinney tho:)

[hilldiggity]

@mrguitarman151 I didn't meet Layne. :( But hung out with the other guys (and other peeps) in their dressing room for a while. I met Jerry again a few years later when he showed up out of nowhere with Les Claypool and jammed with M.I.R.V at a show my friends (Numic) played. And the next 2 times were last year when I paid for Meet & Greet passes. I can't believe how lucky I was those first 2 times! Maybe the Law of Attraction shit since I was so die hard... :)

[mrguitarman151]

@hilldiggity still even tho u didnt meet layne u met sean kinney and jerry thats still badass right there lol!!!

[connstreet]

Eye can say mike i well keep on ROCKING 4 you R'I'P, love brad.

[sxrider4700]

R.I.P. Mike Starr...you will be missed, Rest now for the chase is over and may you be at peace....People please if you or anyone close to you has an addiction problem, plz plz offer support..its never easy nor fun but you just might save a life...I rly hate to see anothr one of my fav bands, current member or not, die from addiction..

[hilldiggity]

@sxrider4700 You are 100% right about offering support to people w/a problem. Even if they reject it at first, there's a better chance they'll face it and get help.

[divinereference]

wow!!! fantastic job, am totally impressed with this fan/tribute video. i have to say it just may be the best one i've seen & i've seen a lot!

[hilldiggity]

@divinereference Thank you so much! That means a lot to me, cuz this video is close to my heart for many reasons. :) And to think I was only a teenager when I made it. :-P

[divinereference]

@hilldiggity i know! i can't believe that. i wish i knew how to make these!! it still wouldn't be nearly as good as this even if i did :)

[hilldiggity]

@divinereference Wow. That really means a lot. Thank you! :)

[divinereference]

@hilldiggity your welcome but what means more is this video & the love labor you put into it <3

[Criszzilla]

Well done. Thanks for posting!

[RCTPatriot75]

1993 was a great year to be 17.

[cahvalois]

@RCTPatriot75 True! =/

[bon3z0r]

wow. cool vid

can you name some of those interviews? I really wanna see them.

[hilldiggity]

@bon3z0r I have to stop being lazy and convert all the VHS tapes I used to make this vid to digital! I should just bring them to Costco...it would be faster...lol

[vegastr0n]

great vid man. 5 stars

[hilldiggity]

@vegastr0n :)

[fuzzo73]

Right on hilldiggity that was awesome. I have NO experience in video editing so I'm gonna go ahead and be mighty impressed. Love the switching back and forth from the very serious "Would" video to the goofing off stuff. Stellar...

[hilldiggity]

Thank you very much! One of the reasons they became so important to me was their deep, dark musical expressions and completely silly antics otherwise. Both resonated with me intensely. Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you lied it!

[deedeekay310]

@hilldiggity happy b-day layne!!!!!...RIP..he was person who really didnt deserve to cry

[hilldiggity]

@deedeekay310 No one is. <3

[rhcpfolies]

[hilldiggity]

@rhcpfolies That's from Entertainment Tonight.

[rhcpfolies]

do you have all of the videos presented in this tape ?

like at 2:25 , what is this ?!

[hilldiggity]

@rhcpfolies That's from Headbangers Ball in New Orleans. I'm in the process of getting the originals off VHS and uploaded. :)

[rhcpfolies]

that WOULD be great !

[thumbelina24]

@hilldiggity Aw man, do you have the entire footage of the guys giving the tour of Seattle? I'd really love to see that.

[hilldiggity]

@thumbelina24 I do! I still have everything from this video...on VHS...and have to convert it so I can post it.

[Bubblebeanz]

I enjoyed the hell out of this video...thanks for posting it....

Best fucking band ever!!

[hilldiggity]

Thanks for watching! :-D

[blondnblues2]

Great video! Some shots I've never seen before.

[Niiiir]

holy shit, what a great fan tribute! must have been a lot of work!

but I guess you are/was a big fan of them

some intresting footage, hope to see more of it!

[hilldiggity]

@Niiiir What else was a 17 year old fan with access to editing equipment to do? lol In '93 it took a hell of a lot longer than it would now with digital editing.

[pdwyer283]

do you have the original video of them giving a tour of seattle? i want to see it

[hilldiggity]

I have everything from the video, just not converted from VHS...yet. I'll convert that one first and upload it.

[pdwyer283]

thanks i appreciate it.. great video by the way

[irishfitzy13]

Great video! Even better story...ha-ha.

Check out my vids, I was at the first show of their new tour in DC. William had his entire family in the audience (including his 98 year old grandma).

Thanks for sharing!!!

[Junkhead90]
