Alice In Chains - Again (Official Video) 

Facts! ❤

Chris Cornell definitely went along with it

And the Noooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaoooo love it

Layne lived a life we wish for😊

Actually Layne sang 'yeah' and doo doo was Jerry

If they ran for prez-VP, no doubt a great campaign slogan!

DOOT DOOT

I LOL 🤣🤣🤣👌🪴

I always heard an owl. Who-Who ,lol. Rad name,Genevieve. Was my Grandmas name. Timeless.

@@wolfgangvonbushgangster5458 It's not my real name. My real name is even cooler

its alice in chains and then probably nirvana

Above all bands

Fucking totally

Idk I think they’re all at an equal playing field. Bc it’s heavy music but they all added a pop-esk rhythm sections to their songs, lyrics are more of a laymen’s reality based, also not saying these bands couldn’t be technical in guitar playing but that’s the best part the guitar parts in every grunge band is usually not so technical and it’s usually some what sloppy. (I’d say with the exception of Kim from Soundgarden and Jerry, here) and even then they both kept things fairly simple most the time. It just really gives this era of music a sense of longevity bc you go back and listen to 70’s, 80’s and early 2000’s stuff and it never sounds as fresh or new as “grunge” music

​@@sgtbrunopeno way Alice in chains Candlebox Soundgarden STP Mad Season Smashing Pumpkins Temple of the Dog Pearl Jam/ Nirvana Mother love bone Screaming Trees

All of his growls, grunts, moans, groans, yeahs and ya's. Nobody has done it better. 🔥

He did

Jerry is also gifted....

Layne's "Yeah!" is the best. I think you can hear examples of it on every album and it never gets old. "Yeah!"

All of AIC’s albums were great!“ facelift” was very underrated

Oooooaaaawwww Toot Toot Yeah! Toot Toot Yeah!!!

Hell yeah 🤟🎸

Try doing that in 95 vhs with a remote control that only worked when it felt like it. We used to laugh ourselves off the couch about watching this again, and again, AND AGAIN!

XgamerGR never get sick of it

XgamerGR and again😨🔫🕵️‍♂️

if you get yourself a guitarist like jerry in your band it won’t be hard to have many bangers 😂

@@yvvng_sinatra and vocalist like Layne

You and me both

IMO... Every person in the band was EXACTLY where they belonged! If things would've ended up being any different for the band or the lineup of the band then I think we would have never got to experience AIC and all the "bangers" they blessed us with! As a band, what they had was very rare... There arguably the best band of our time! 🤘🏼🎸

Yes!

Couldn’t agree more, I never get tired of hearing them, Layne’s voice was literally like a musical instrument, the way he could hold his notes with that effortless distortion, so many people who have never had the great pleasure of listening to a band that in my opinion were the top of their class, I love Nirvana and who doesn’t but in my opinion Alice In Chains were above and beyond them, such an original and unique sound, especially some of their intros, you know it is Alice In Chains immediately when it comes on, I have a teenage daughter who has gotten into Nirvana and I told her “that is great but you need to hear Alice In Chains, they are the best of Seattle grunge and please, no Pearl Jam” it might be an unpopular opinion but I can only handle a very small amount of Pearl Jam. RIP Layne, you truly were a master of your craft and I will do everything possible introduce as many people as I can to Alice In Chains.

Can't agree more. Saw AIC, Nirvana, Soundgarden, and few others live in the 90's and for me AIC seemed to really stand out

@@chrisnelson3691 Exactly, every AiC album is a masterpiece. This band is so good because each member is a master of their art.

for me, the appeal of AIC is that they were the darkest and heaviest of the Seattle bands

I’ve always thought this!!! I’m currently 28 (makes the song Frogs hit even harder) but I’ve listened to aic since like early high school! Go from a song like Dirt & Head Creeps to Don’t Follow & Rotten Apple it’s truly amazing!!!

Why do you think he did that, do you think he knew it was, catchy?

@@jonmo2694 it's a standard pop tune thing like you would hear even from a commercial jingle.

you would like the cat, in the Slayer Bloodline video

It’s the weirdest thing. When I first heard it, I thought to myself, “now why in the heck would they do that?”, but it just goes to show you how badass they were. I love that part of the song.

reminds me a bit of something I have heard the Rolling Stones do in a song or 2. (like Undercover of the Night)

Never thought of it that way.... love it! True.

Bill Caputo truer words have never been spoken

Bill Caputo Indeed. Legit bad ass. Rode it to the bitter end.

Drugs .

Bill Caputo and your seemingly unpopular comment is so beautiful that it should be a lot more popular... I hope more people can see your comment, honestly, it's awesome!

So says everyone else, duh.

Damn straight! Their harmony is legendary

Cantrell doesn't perform no harmonies whatsoever in this track. Tripod songs w/ Cantrell harmonies: grind, over now, heaven beside you.

@@Meshuggapeth can you enlist some aic songs w/ 4ths please?

The uncanny feature that makes "again" so unique lies on the fact that the song meshes up: frygian & frygian M7. That's quite unusually atracting.

LSMS 💘

>yall Spotted the redditor.

Such an awesome song. I appreciate it more today.

Do Easy!

The 90s left me so confused 😮. And now I have been doing ketamine treatment for PTSD

I don’t think Jerry has vocals on this

@jerrycantrell9270 stop spamming everywhere, fake jerry

@@kimborampage ignoring that fake ahh jerry cantrell account, I think he harmonizes with layne, you can tell because it sounds like a fever dream in some parts because of the echo and some parts its just layne singing without any echo

weak

The best time of my life!!

***** Definitely

Right? I'll be fascinated with him til my dying day.

+Vig2016 vv.

+Kat Hamilton (Zepluv) He always seemed to be with the times. You should see some of the older pictures of him from the 80's haha.

Ked Viper You mean some of the earlier photo's if you're referring to the 80's. I admire his sense of fashion.

I think the suit looks stifling

Maybe the suit is supposed to represent heroin addiction

Maybe the suit was the friends we made along the way

Jerry’s vocals make Layne sound better!!!

Every singers voice is their instrument, just an organic one.

Swear

No need to swear on it AIC has that effect on most. I stay till songs completely over as well.❤🕶❤🕶☉🔥

@@debby631 this band is majorly addicting. I'm only 21 and I feel a deep connection with this band . I usually listen to them everyday but mostly when I'm feeling down or depressed it's therapeutic. Layne is a god

@@bdizzzzy you obviously have great taste in music. I grew up on AIC and just won't let go. I feel the emotion in the songs whenever I hear them. Which is a lot.

facts

Jimi hasn't bad either, and he could play the guitar like no one else!

Top 5 all genres throughout history. Layne was a once in 2000 years type of talent

Chris Cornell had the voice of voices though.

While I’m a huge fan of that era of music & im not trying to overlook the many accomplishments of all the bands who were around then I gotta say Chris Cornell is not just the best singer of the “grunge” era but probably the best rock singer ever....for me #2 is a tie between Layne & Maynard

@@bigdaddypiggy Yeah while Layne is probably in my favorite band from the scene I gotta give it to Chris, even my mom can't get enough of anything single thing the man touched and I can't deny that. Everyone was legendary in the upper echelon of grunge.

Layne had his yeahs, Robert Plant had his babies and lil Wayne had nigga

He's even better than James Hetfield or Rob Zombie

@Metallus Maximus so did Savatage. They also had "noooooo"

And rob zombie

Or Hey...

I think he OD'ed Mar/Apr 96. I could be wrong, but I believe that happened, then his GF died in Fall 96.

@@GreenEyedLady He died in 2002

@@Taumpy I know, but he OD'ed after a performance in 96.

It makes the video kind of hard for me to watch. Layne is so clearly, obviously, borderline non-functional. It makes me sad.

After Demri died, that was it. He lost the will to live and slowly committed suicide for the next 5 years. The stories of him shortly before he died are just heartbreaking. Weighed 110 pounds, dirty, a shell of himself. Terrible.

Wow I was totally thinking about that line and Demri

Very true. I learned the hard way.

Tragic.

For the last decade and a half or so, I have said that in my head at least once a day..

"HEY. I bet it really eats you up."

Your weak will wont help her heal her heart. I bet it really eats you up, huh

OcelotDAD I think he’s just saying Laynes vocals are so good. True the lyrics aren’t that deep on paper

Describes the lyrics on the album as a whole perfectly. I remember seeing an interview where he said that he took a lot less time on the lyrics for this than on Dirt and that he just kind of wrote about whatever he felt at the moment. It seems like they would be worse but his delivery makes them hit a lot harder.

Awesome, isn't it?

That describes it perfectly. I've been trying to figure out a way to express what this song makes me feel. Well done✌

Is he talking about Demri?

such a nasty opening sludgy bass intro...so cool

Yeah. Her death did eat at him and finally took him.

Chris Carter Demri was a pretty as Layne was

That line used to really confuse me back in the day. I kept hearing it as "Your weak will/wont...".

👍

You sir are 💯 right

i do feel blessed, everyday.

@Jerrycantrell018_ hi!!!! That would be awsome🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Calvin Mcbridr so underrated.

Yes such a great drummer..

Sean carries the whole Tripod album

Hey.....

Almost no recognition besides from other musicians

Sad and will never be like this again and again and again!!!

I bought this on CD back in 99 It has always been my favorite one.

Agreed

Agreed!

Every chains album is genius

my teacher in the early 2010s told me about this album and surfa rosa by the pixes. I haven't stopped listening to them since.

I believe his lyrics are a mirror of his life, & he's trying to warn others about what harden drugs like heroin addiction does to your life, & he doesn't want anyone else to endure all that misery, So glad his music has helped you, His intentions were fulfilled, 👌

Thank you brother

​@@mariesteve7327Yeah it's sad how heroin has fucked up so many people, even some people I know.

Jeffrey Beshears like who? Like big bands or just covers

Absolutely... he put his life in a song. His soul screamed out.... help me... I'll miss him till I take my last breath

Theres nothing charismatic about fading away to drugs. Which is exactly what happened. I love alice but what happened to layne is horrific and theres nothing cool about it and if he knew what wouldve happened he wouldnt have touched the smack ever. As would ANY junkie EVER. Its a foul horrible drug

God you worded that so eloquently 🤟❤🌹

Absolutely agree @Jeffrey Beshears! He wasn’t glorifying drug use at all. The man went on record saying he knew he’d die soon, that he was vomiting and shitting himself for f*cks sake! Far from glorifying ANYTHING about drugs! He knew he had f*cked up! He was honest and raw about his struggles. Ever hear of if one person can be saved at least the person who died didn’t die in vain? He died alone in his very modest condo . He didn’t keep performing for the money ! Especially after he was so thin and frail and had lost his teeth. I get so sick of people bad mouthing him! If you aren’t a fan of the music, why be on here? To make yourself feel better by bad mouthing a dead man ? Please 🛑!

Awesome because I also used to work overnights at a Walmart back in '96 and we would have the radios blaring in the automotive dept. we used to jam to this song late at night stocking shelves.

@@cosmo411 Damn I can’t even imagine this kind of music being played at work. At my job I have to suffer with shitty 2010’s hip hop and pop

Lol thats hilarious, i also did papers in 96 and have pretty much the same story lol. Small world.

Agree Soldier💪

That's funny I had a similar experience with Primus and this one lanky white guy doing dishes together at a residential rehab. Primus is nuts! But I dig this song for work as well. I think I heard it when I was going to my baseball games. if I was pro, this would be a great walk-up song to the plate!

Two.

In this world of artificial intelligence, nothing is impossible.

Nope.

I was just adding my 2 cents to " nothing can top it.". Oh my mind just went to the gutter I ain't sayin' a peep. Layme

So true... very dark but very real and raw...

I always thought that as well. Listen to Skorned/Chout - the singer, Brendan, sounds so eerily similar to Layne it's unbelievable.

So so true

Exactly

@@penyunne Another one? The facelift cover band vocalist also sounds exactly like Layne

im waiting for a plot twist

Close, YES, KING CRIMSON, EWF, AIC🥳💟💪💕🤸🥷🪓🎓

+Dimitrije Petrovic and king of heys

+Dimitrije Petrovic fair, and thats pretty cool

+Dimitrije Petrovic No, that's James Hetfield...

***** Okay then...

+Dan Sullivan true that

Metal disco :)

That´s genious...

It's Jerry...

Jerry rocks the Doot Doot, YEAHHHHHHHHHH

@@astrzmbie9968 it’s both of them

AiC made the scene... They put Seattle on the map making it easier for other bands ..

Agreed.

@@JPColtertoo true yo

There's times when Layne's yeahs can be unnecessary, annoying but definitely not here. I also like the contrast between the polished, hip-looking vid and the raw, pain-filled melody + vocals. Album as a whole is more than a couple tiers below Dirt IMO but this one song is just class.

I am 77!!! Repeat 77 & the same still applies.Professional musicians and there music NEVER DIE.

Im 62 love Alice in Chains MOTORHEAD hard rock We are not old 🥳😂🔥🔥

Right there with you at 57. I gave you your 60th thumbs up to match your years~🤙😎 Ps. Under your comment it said 2 replies, yet none of them are showing? Huh. Kinda weird, but unfortunately typical for you tube. Gee, either that, or you must have said something in another video that they didn't like. I mean, what other explanation is there, other than just lame. Too bad it's becoming a common thing to silence people. It's possibly a mistake, but how does that even happen? Sorry, but just thought you should know the (2) replies to your comment weren't showing.

Lady C ...... And the gloves.

Anubis22774 You are so right.

Lady C He just looks like a straight up badass!

+Lady C Cantrell too, ice-cool like always

+vkotis Yes...he does...so cool

I love that too!

That's the sound they make when they manifest

cheers Benjamin Steele Lisa Wallis Malaika for the # 1's greatly appreciated

***** No probs, AiC is my favorite band after all =) . But Will kicks ass too, let's not forget :p .

Malaika Yeah, I like Will, the only person I( think could have did better would have been Marko Saaresto

Thats fucking true. :D

+Joshua I sometimes wish Cornell had gotten with AiC after he quit Audioslave...they would sound seriously cool together, like in that song Right Turn off their EP Sap.

I listened to Jar of Flies constantly after my Mom passed away when I was 18 and mildly suicidal while self harming. It came out Jan 94, and she died in October 94. Their songs had such sadness/pain, I felt if they could feel such despair and survive, then so could I. Their music really helped me hang in there.

Jack Ripper Hey, I bet it really eats you up

Annie REILY toot toot 😍

Annie REILY so fucking beautiful

I herd day! Talk about so cool he's spooky💀💜💛can u imagine being that kind of cool an dark. Not sick but a real person

So beautiful.......

What suck.s dynamite

So true....I scribbled some of the video messages on the whiteboard at my last rehab

@@kaideuerden8506 I bet that looked cool. Not that the horror of addiction is cool, but Alice in Chains made it tolerable I some ways.

@@roosterj2599 yeah man...although I'm still struggling. Smoking right now. Man it's a looooong road

@@kaideuerden8506 It sure is a long road. I'm 5 years and 2 months clean and sober. Suboxone and Lyrica have been a tremendous help as well as my will to let it all go already. I do know that I have basically traded dangerous street drugs and insane amounts of prescription drugs for the safer suboxone. If being on Suboxone for the rest of my life is what it tales.......so be it. Do what you gotta do and do the right thing. You'll get there.

Pantera isn't that great. They give white power speeches on stage. Shitty stuff. If you like the sound of older metal try Possessed and Death. Those bands don't do vile shit like that.

@@keystep8669 All metal stands on the shoulders of Pantera post 1990, at best..

@@chuckb337 That's not the point I was making lol Pantera made great music. Anselmo is a shithead though.

@Michael Whitted Same here. I refuse to support that vile shit.

@@keystep8669 black n!igger scarred of white power lol

💙

that’s beautiful. RIP to yr bro

All the way into 2022!!

Not the only one . . .

Still listening and still loving it.

Ayyyyyyy September 2022 yeaaah

2023

An eps 😉

"Black Gives Way to Blue" was awesome as well, if you haven't already heard it. I can listen to it front to back without skipping any songs. 10\10, would recommend. 🤟

​@@hollyhayes9640it's such a wonderful magnificent album!

You mean from 92 to 95. Facelift released September of 1992. Amazing they released five great albums in three years.

It’s definitely about heroine that’s forsure

it's about a lot more than that, but on a personal level, yes, i agree that the line about "won't help her heal her heart" is about his beloved demri

The heart condition wasn't related to heroin but yeah, I think it is the song about how he handled their intoxicated relationship "slap me in the face" .....

I put SOUNDGARDEN in there too!!!

Sadly it did to an extent :( Compare love hate love to something like this and it doesnt compare. Live at the moore with alice in chains vs live at the moore with madseason really shows how bad things had gotten:(

I actually liked Mad Season at the Moore. I agree with Alice in Chains at the Moore was better, but it was also I think 4 or 5 years earlier...

Hopefully Layne teaches us something, miss Layne!

YOU MADE A FOOL OF ME AGAIN.

Matt Whalen he did live another 6 more years...js

Not too underrated . . . they are playing it on their current tour, and William does it justice. Saw them live . . . total awesomeness and I felt Layne the whole time.

Here!! ❤❤❤

Hellll yeh

Same !

Here

Eu também

We can look at it as a glass half full, or half empty. Layne gave all he could give and more. Look at all of the greats who checked out at 27 . . . Layne was a trooper and gave us much more. You are right that no one will ever be able to imitate him. He is is one of a kind, an original.

Love AIC!

I wasn’t lucky enough to see Layne, one of the greats. R.I.P Layne

Iggy M. Toot Toot

Yeah.

Iggy M I'm all for this!! Tell teespring about it!!

John Palomino I always thought it was DOOT-DOOP lol

The lyrics say "doot doot"

@Makaila Butler all love ❤️.

@Makaila Butler YOU are THE LIGHT..

Riiight😋

👏🏻👏🏻

Love that beat.

your never to young of too old for AIC, Lane is a legend. its tragic he lost his life to drugs

He is beautiful. You could tell he was that way inside and out. MTV unplugged was phenomenal, even though he was sick, he still killed it.

Yes, Layne was very beautiful. I think so especially in the Grind video

Totally agree. He had the sweetest laugh up until the end and was so kind and funny. I get tired of everyone still harping on his addiction, what he looked like, etc. It feels disrespectful to me.

Layne is only other blonde love, with Robert Plant ❤

everyone so obsessed w/ playing keen detective on when Layne was in what kind of condition.. another 'teeth loss' comment ffs he's gone, let it go, let him RIP...

Right On! I'm 58 and still Jam to AIC!:)~

dang your old dude

Ain’t it awesome knowing you were part of an era in which album covers weren’t selfie based?😅

My husband too

Right behind you bro. I’m almost 62 and still rock out every day 👍🏼🤘🏼

We all do man

​@@user-dh6ho6uo7o I don't ! Brain washed toxic deunce & I like tall white men. Trump let them steal the elections !

Imaginin a live set in my brain always

No doubt about it.

Yeah for real I do too

+qwerty6801 because iv only watched it a thousand times

+qwerty6801 Not a lot of people are into grunge my dude.

+qwerty6801 People just don't appreciate good music these days. They'd rather listen to rihanna and nicki minaj than these phenomenal musicians.

I always thought Chains were a little more metallic than they were "grunge" (I hate that term, it's all rock at the end of the day). Like compare AIC and Peal Jam; they sound nothing like each other.

Now it has 5 million
