DLC Release 01/12/2010 ~ Alice in Chains Pack 02
"We Die Young" is a single EP by Alice in Chains. It was released in July 1990 and is their first studio EP. This EP was only released on vinyl and cassette, and is thus a sought-after collector's item amongst Alice in Chains fans.
In the liner notes of 1999's Music Bank box set collection, guitarist Jerry Cantrell said of the song:
I'd just temporarily moved in with Susan Silver because Sean and I had just had a fight. So I was riding the bus to rehearsal and I saw all these 9, 10, 11 year old kids with beepers dealing drugs. The sight of a 10 year old kid with a beeper and a cell phone dealing drugs equaled "We Die Young" to me.
"We Die Young" became a top five metal track at the time of its release. The music video was released in 1990 and was directed by Rocky Schenck, who would later direct the music videos for "Them Bones", "What the Hell Have I", and "Grind". The video features the band performing while various people drown in pools of blood.
