Check My Brain - The Making Of (Alice In Chains)

i saw them in seattle 9.24.09 and it was epic

"I got blisters in my fingers" - The Beatles are sill alive!!

Great song and great new album for AIC... I have seen they in Milano on 2nd of December 2009... amazing live!!

People are always saying that after Layne died, AIC completely lost it. I saw them back in '07 with William, and they still kick ass, especially with some new material like this song. So i dont see why so many fans are gettin on their case.

hah Jerry "I got blisters on my fingers!"
first time i heard that line at the end of Helter Skelter i laughed so hard. and hearing jerry say it made me laugh haha....

If you listen to the Beatles Helter Skelter, at the end of the song, Ringo screams: "I got blisters in my fingers". I think he said it because it was a really hard song to play, at least it was when it was recorded.

i don't know if you play guitar..... i've been playing twenty four years. the reason jerry says he's getting blisters, is because of the way you have to play this opening riff, the 'seasick' riff.... it is absolutely hell on the index finger!

but you are right: we should hope jerry has strong fingers by now... he will after playing this song every night on tour

Thnk you-no I do not play guitar. I just assumed that Jerr was being a little silly or something.

...listen to mike inez at 1:29, saying it's a real simple riff but it kills his fingers.... it involves bending the first string (the heaviest), at the first fret (right after the nut, and the most difficult place and string to bend on the fretboard) and even the most seasoned fingers get sore... it is a bit unusual.

but it sounds insane, and that's why we love jerry!!!

I know that I love Jerry!! He is a fucking bad ass song writer!!!!!
