Alice In Chains - Grind (Official Video) 

Anyone else on an Alice in Chains binge? Its hard to stop.

Laynes and Jerry's vocals together were awesome.

Seeing Layne sitting on the stairway to heaven petting a dog almost brought me to tears.

The guitar work on this song is simply one of the best ever... no shredding, just many layers of sounds that form an amazing sound landscape

What's most unique about Layne is how he can look angelic and devilish at the same time. He was beautiful.

Layne and Jerry.....best harmony duo ever.........

For some reason I think AiC is the darkest band ever. Like, sure, thousands of bands put all of their energy behind being as dark as humanly possible but it's like AiC didn't even have to try. Even when they write something semi uplifting there's still this undercurrent of soul crushing despair

I'm on an alice in chains binge forever they kick fucking ass

"yeahhhhhhhhh"-Layne Staley

I don’t understand why I have only found AIC in 2021, but it definitely has been the best discovery. Upd: It’s 2023 now, but AIC still rocks!!

Layne actually looks pretty healthy here. We love Layne. Wish he'd had made it. He was a beautiful human being.

Alice in Chains is the kind of band I wish I could discover again. To experience that sensation again...

Jerry's ability as a guitarist and a song writer are among the strongest of that era

JERRY; "I love this dog," Cantrell smiles absently, pointing to the photo of that three-legged dog, which will come out on the lid of the video box. "His name is Sunshine, Sunny," he explains. "She's in our first video.He lost her paw chasing after a fucking car.Then she managed, went home, recovered, and then went back to chasing other cars and got fit again.She is just a damn fighter dog.I love it. "

It’s so impossible to listen to Alice In Chains and not want to keep listening to their music over and over again 💕

So cool how Jerry sings part of the verse and let's Layne finish it they were both so talented and sound so good together

I love how the intro and verses scream DOOM DARKNESS DEATH but when the chorus starts it's like seeing a beam of light in a cave, a sliver of hope and joy.

this song should have 4 billion views

"Grind" In the darkest hole, you'd be well advised Not to plan my funeral 'fore the body dies, yeah Come the morning light, it's a see through show What you may have heard and what you think you know, yeah Let the sun never blind your eyes Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind Hear a sound from a voice inside Sure to play a part, so you love the game And in truth your lies become one and same, yeah I could set you free, rather hear the sound Of your body breaking as I take you down, yeah Let the sun never blind your eyes Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind Hear a sound from a voice inside In the darkest hole, you'd be well advised Not to plan my funeral 'fore the body dies, yeah Let the sun never blind your eyes Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind Hear a sound from a voice inside

How the hell did AIC have SO MANY great and loved tracks? Musical jackpot!

It doesnt need to be 100mph to be heavy.. The riff man..

I don’t care what people say Jerry Cantrell is a metal guitarist

I love the way Layne rolls his eyes backwards in this video. Especially in the 3rd verse.

Cantrell and Staley are the greatest 1-2 punch vocalists of all time, and both can easily hold their own by themselves as well. My favorite band ever

Man, all the years I've watched this video and I never realized that the poor old man was just trying to get to heaven. I think I may have been distracted by how cool the AIC guys were here. lol.

I love how Jerry does most of the singing. I like his voice. Really goes great with Layne's.

Omg Layne was so handsome.

It’s been 19 years since Layne left us. R.I.P legend❤️

Layne and Jerry were 10000x hotter than any of the 90's boybands 🤤

The old man in the video, Richard Stretchberry, died exactly 3 years after Layne, to the day no less. He was about 50 years older than Layne.

No band ever had better chorus’ then Alice In Chains. Every chorus from every song was always perfect for that song and catchy. My favorite and easily top 10 greatest bands in history of rock n roll. Original. Dark. Talented. The perfect band.

Layne looks like a dragon given human form. There’s always an almost supernatural or spiritual element to Alice In Chains, to me, that has made it always resonate with me.

"Anyone else on a Alice in Chains binge? It's hard to stop." Yes. I've just gotten into them and have been listening nonstop for 2 months. They are amazing. Peak grunge.

One of the most underrated albums in all of metal/rock/grunge.

cantrell - a musical genius..

Tripod album as a whole is really, really underrated. It gets better as you listen more

Here's what Cantrell said about the song's meaning: "That was pretty much at the height of publicity about cancelled tours, heroin, amputations, everything, thus it was another "FUCK YOU for saying something about my life" song. Any single rumor you can imagine, I've heard. I've been dead a few times, Layne's been dead countless times and lost limbs. I get on the phone every time I hear a new one, "Hey Layne, radio in New York says you lost two more fingers.""

my god, Layne Staley was beautiful.

The vocal harmony in the chorus of this song is just pure magic.

Pure gold. Damn, Layne and Jerry voices together... Were EVERYTHING!!

Great fucking song. Jerry Cantrell comes up with some truly vicious riffs reminiscent of Black Sabbath.

I can never get enough of AIC... Gets me through the depths of my madness... Layne and Mike forever missed.....

What made Alice In Chains different from the likes of other bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc is that they were even darker than them, they were more like a halloween band. U get the theme and the feel.

0:43 It always stuck with me how Layne is the only one who finishes this line and says "dies", while Jerry stops abruptly.

90's music videos have this very 90's atmosphere which I miss so much. Many colors,many different things that don't make sense and the camera filming from every angle possible. I just love this type of music videos more than anything else.

I battle anorexia. Twice, I was on hospice (end-of-life care). My parents were planning my funeral both times and literally were picking out coffins. They were scared, frustrated, and did not understand how in one with anorexia, one is addicted to the scale and to the feel of an empty stomach. This song was written due to rumors about Layne being dead, missing an arm, as well as rumors that the band had split up. The band was pissed at this and voila - we have "Grind" in their self-titled album (which I consider the angriest of AIC's work).

I love how they keep showing Laynes' hands. This song was about all the crazy rumors at the time and one was that Layne had his fingers amputated because of am infection stemming from drug use. He wore lots of gloves in public so they persisted anyway.

3:44 That compelling look in Layne's eyes is so captivating.... God he's so attractive!

Happy 53rd birthday Layne, Grunge god.🤘🖤🤘🖤

Layne is irreplaceable. His voice is just one of a kind.

Fuck me, I love this song! Played it at my wedding reception. My wife still holds it against me. I don't care.

Omg, Layne was so sexy. His voice was incredible! RIP handsome man. ❤😢

I never really paid attention to this song but the more I hear it the more I see how absolutely fucking brilliant and awesome it is.

Layne so cool rolling his eyes up inside his head like that. Can't believe he's gone.

The entire self-titled album has doom metal written all over it. So dark, heavy, brooding and morose. In fact AiC is much more comparable to Saint Vitus and Black Sabbath than their Seattle peers.

I still listen to their self titled album as it was a new album. It sounds so fresh to me. I always discover something new.

It's so dark yet the chorus is so soothing!!

All eyes on Jerry Cantrell and Eddie Vedder now.

Layne, rest well. What a great soul.

"Let the sun never blind your eyes" Me, in UK: "No problem" Just wanted to leave a comment, love AIC ❤

The harmonies between Cantrell and Staley is SO strong in this one

I like how Layne takes back stage but still stands paramount in this song. Jerry I love you. You and Layne were a packaged deal.

Jerry Cantrell could b the most under appreciated musician from the Pacific northwest or Timbuktu for that matter.

Alice in Chains with Layne Staley was the best band ever! The feeling they put into their music was so awesome and unmatched today

Can't believe more than a thousand people gave this a thumbs down. This is actually my favorite AIC music video. The guys have said in interviews that they hated doing videos and Layne said that he didn't feel he "had the face that belonged in front of the camera" but I disagree! All of the guys' facial expressions and "acting" fit the mood of this video perfectly and I love the coloring of this music video. Back when music videos actually used to be artistic!!!

oh boy… kids these days are missing so much! my all time favorite band xd

On an AIC binge this morning, after years of hiatus. Layne's voice and Cantrell's guitar...."perfection". RIP dear musician brother!

I understand everyone singing the praises for Layne and he is greatly missed, but Jerry Cantrell is too often overlooked in his efforts to keep AiC moving along. Let's give my man Jerry some credit. I was very young in my Army career when I first started listening to them as a alternative to the Hair bands of the late 80's, a scene that got more outrageous and comical by the month, although I separated Def Leppard, Iron Maiden and Guns-N-Roses from the likes of Stryper, Ratt, Cinderella and such. Not bad bands really, actually quite decent, but the music scene of that time was clogged with these groups, and everybody was looking for a breakthrough I even was listening to some Alternate Country just to hear something different than Mr. Big, Great White, Skid Row, Poison and Kix. I listened to a lot of Brooks and Dunn, Dwight Yoakam, Kentucky Headhunters and Rodney Crowell. I'm not an expert on any of the genres, but I heard it all every night in the barracks. 120 Minutes became my favorite show on MTV, it was a great relief to get another kind of adrenaline rush listening to Ministry, Nitzer Ebb, Morrissey (solo), the Smiths, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Echo and the Bunnymen, and others I can't think of at the moment. Anyhow, I listened to AiC and Nirvana before the world was ready for them, but I was looking and waiting for the Billboard andvMTV music scene of that time to come to a screeching halt, much like I think many today are waiting for the current dismal music atmosphere to go away. When it did happen, and Nirvana, Pearl Jam and AiC, three very different groups finally came into their own, the industry flipped like an LP from the B-Side to the A-Side. I know MTV goes with the trends, always have and always will, and when the so-called grunge scene emerged they dropped the Hair bands from their rotation like a hot potato. Am I telling the truth for anyone else who can remember? Those bands, who had a good run, were dead as far as MTV was concerned. Although I have a better appreciation for some of those bands now, I was happy for the change. Correct me if I'm wrong, but MVT tried to cash in on the movement by promoting bands like Jesus Jones and EMF. And sadly, at the end of the so-called grunge period, MTV put groups like the Spice Girls in heavy rotation. I was lucky to be stationed at Fort Hood, TX in the late 80's and early 90's, and I traveled to Austin as much as possible because it has a great music scene. Still does, I'm sure. Other than a couple of run-ins with local skinheads there, it's a great place to hang out.Fortunately, my Army brothers were always with me, Shout out to Darryl Richardson, Theodore Cyganski, Peter Daniels, Robert Horn, Steve Mennis and Ron Felix, wherever you guys are.

Fun fact: A day started with Alice in Chains is almost always a good day

That's Cantrell's three legged dog Sunshine.

Lyrics********* In the darkest hole, you'd be well advised Not to plan my funeral before the body dies, yeah Come the morning light, it's a see through show What you may have heard and what you think you know, yeah Let the sun never blind your eyes Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind Hear a sound from a voice inside Sure to play a part, so you love the game And in truth your lies become one and same, yeah I could set you free, rather hear the sound Of your body breaking as I take you down, yeah Let the sun never blind your eyes Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind Hear a sound from a voice inside In the darkest hole, you'd be well advised Not to plan my funeral before the body dies, yeah Let the sun never blind your eyes Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind Hear a sound from a voice inside Let the sun never blind your eyes Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind Hear a sound from a voice inside

This solo by Jerry is sneaky badass!

So sludgy grungy and dirty. Fucking love it

Did anyone notice the little claymation goat did the little Layne Staley eye roll !!! 👍🏻😀 AWESOMENESS!!!

For most fans Dirt is no. 1 in their discography. For me - Tripod will always be no.1 The most dark, brooding and nostalgic album. A perfect mix of metal, alternative rock and psychedelia.

Layne Staley: Voice of an Angel.

Man I hate the fact that he's gone these guys were and always will be one of the best

AIC will always be kings of grunge/metal. all their tracks still hold up in 2020 strong AF cementing their legendary status. dudes will never die, layne still talked about 2day never forgotten, pretty damn amazing AIC fam

Best band of the 90's.....PERIOD!!!

Some things are strange, the actor in this video, Richard Stretchberry ( the old man ), died on april 5...

This is my new theme song !!!!! I personally was in the ICU for 4 days here in Vegas. I had a 2ft blood 🩸 clot removed from my right leg, 2 pulmonary emboli in my lungs and a 584 glucose level, type 2 diabetes. I made it !!!!!

every summer , my neighbors love this song !! !! 😎🏁

The up stroke on that cymbal always got me with this song

Heavy metal and harmony. A delicious track.

Gorgeously crafted human being that Layne Staley.

This was their darkest heaviest album my favorite..

Fried In the darkest stove You can find me there sitting in the oven cooking down below Yum If you cook me right It’ll taste so good and you love the taste and you want some more Yum Let the smell never blind your eyes Have me steamed or I taste good fried Swallow down in your insides Watch me fall apart So you love the taste and in truth you saved room for cake You can taste with me Rather hear the sound of your body chewing as you swallow down Yum Let the smell never blind your eyes Have me steamed or I taste good fried Swallow down in your insides Let the smell never blind your eyes Have me steamed or I taste good fried Swallow down in your insides In the darkest stove You can find me there sitting in the oven cooking down below Yum Let the smell never blind your eyes Have me steamed or I taste good fried Swallow down in your insides Let the smell never blind your eyes Have me steamed or I taste good fried Swallow down in your insides

Lane was so beautiful. I miss his creativity. This is my all time favorite Alice song.

"Grungeous"

Can't forget about Jerry guys! He wrote most lyrics!

The guy had so much to live for, drugs really do erase any form of hope you can have. Wish layne would have gotten some help

For despair... Now, let me sleep so my teeth won't grind.

I really like Cantrell but Staley just makes me wanna listen more. R.I.P Layne. Cantrell thank you for being a genius still in all this madness.

layne staley. that's all.

Best band from the grunge era, Nirvana Soundgarden and Nirvana always get more props,butt a.i.c were the BEST😎

Just fkn epic. Music for tortured souls

Today is August 22, 2023 HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAYNE STALEY! FOREVER REMEMBERED AND NEVER EVER FORGOTTEN 😇💝🌹🤘✌️WE MISS YOU!!

If you ever get caught killing your body for someone that doesn't love you, here's your song, brother.
