Alice In Chains - The Nona Tapes (Official Documentary) 

"The word grunge just turns me on something fierce" NONA, SAME 😂

I love how Nona’s personality is being a mild mannered elderly woman who’s into “rock boys” and S&M.

"When this record comes out, what will people notice most about it?" "The songs, I hope they notice there's new songs on the record" LOLLLLL

Love Sean Kinney sense of humor. And Layne, "...Whatever you think it's about, that's what it's about"

2:35 "we'll even take drummers." I laughed my ass off at that part

I love how even in Layne's state he finds Jerry amusing. That sweet little knowing smile says it all about the love between these guys.

It's great how at the time most people didn't know Jerry was a rancher at heart. Not a race car driver.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how cute Jerry is with the cat?

Wow, Jerry and Sean are legit good actors. Very entertaining, guys.

He had the look and smile of a sweet little innocent child. The world is such a cruel place. Love you Layne. Jerry's battle is amazing.

Man, the life had really started to catch up with Layne at that point. I wish I could thank him for pulling me out of the darkest days of my life with his lyrics. It’s easy to talk shit about an addict, but when you do, remember that you’re making fun of a sick person. And a fellow human being. We only have one world to share. Try to put some positivity into it.

Sean Kinney is the right kind of troll. This band had more personality than most.

Can I just go back in time and live perpetually in 1995 forever?

14:04 "Which women are great? which is your favourite?" "The ones with ' all access' passes on them" Lol Layne

Why did it take me 10 minutes to realise that Jerry is nona wtf

10:08 I'm the man in the box, get it?, get it?

Happy 51st Birthday, Layne. Missing that beautiful and raw voice.

Layne looks really innocent and like a child

The amount of sarcasm in this video is so fucking graceful good

Nona’s accent switches from Seattle to England to New York hahaha

He did have the face of an innocent child. Seen the picture of Layne and Demri blowing bubbles makes me cry when I look at Laynes innocent face. The people that knew him say that he was very sweet and a gentleman. I really wish that drugs would have never touched his life. He would have gotten so many awards for his Amazing vocals and have had a lot of fun, I bet. I hope you fund peace and Demri wherever you are our dear Layne.

“You can’t prove that.” Hahahahahha

Jerry is a born actor. No wonder he played some roles in the movies.

Not even funny how much Jerry passes as a woman lmao

Nona is officially on Vevo, she must be so proud 😂

Jerry dressed as Nona makes me love him even more!

Tripod was so dark, but probably my favorite AiC album. Songs like Shame in You and Frogs just hit me in the soul.

I'll never get bored by this!! Jerry being Nona is simply amazing

Poor Layne, he was keeping it real. But he was thin, pale, and you can really see how his teeth have shifted. He had a short, hard life. Love Jerry Nona, too much.

It's rough how absent Layne is on this, but Jerry, Sean, and Mike are hilarious. I love how they troll the shit out of the whole interview circuit crap

That bit with the car and Sean being dragged into it by Nona is an amazing piece of footage. The comedy timing combined with very decent stunt work

Sean's face when Layne says the ones with all access passes on them hahaha

“That word grunge just turns me on something fierce.” 😂 Gotta love jerry

Layne's eyes were so fucking big and beautiful!

Who's here after Nona's reappearance on Alice's mopop tribute show last night??? This fine lady has surely aged like fine wine! So glad she kept an eye on Alice boys!😂

The alcoholic clown gets me every time.

4:10 can we just appreciate that jerry decided to wear heels

Alice In Chains! Their music always reminds me of blues, wood, rust, hope, decay, bogs, greens, reds, farmhouses, and gritty. In the best possible way.

JERRY'S a natural actor.. damn talented!

Not-so-fun-fact: The sound-engineer of this event almost died during the filming, he was in the trunk for the whole time and lost conciousness from breathing in too much carbon monoxide.. :/

How come Nona never interveiwed jerry??

Anybody wish they could quantum leap back and help Layne in some way? Someone with a voice like that only live 34 years is simply tragic.

Jerry Cantrell is a pretty lady.

10:13 laynes just a kid

"I'm dumbfounded by me, all the time...WOW" Haha

Drag Jerry is the best drag

You can tell Jerry as "Nona" creeped Layne the hell out lol!

When they made this you could tell Layne was barely holding it together. He breaks my heart. When he joined Mad Season they were all in recovery except Layne and they had hoped they could help him. Sad thing is, he didn't want help. I think he was resigned to dying. "Slow suicide's no way to go". Everyone around him knew and nothing helped. The worst thing about the end of his life is how alone he really was. To have been dead that many days and the only reason anyone knew was because there was no activity on his checking account.

Great documentary. Now i suddenly realized that Layne Staley was the kindest introvert i've ever seen in my life. What a great man he was. So sad.

Layne is the only person I ever heard that gets his newspaper delivered to his house at night time…

“We’ll even take drummers” had me ROLLING.

9:10 lmao I love how Mike catches himself and saves the shot

Missing Layne so much. It hits you right in the heart. Even after all this time.. Layne was so beautiful. He had the most hauntingly beautiful voice

8:03 "I hit things with sticks" love you guys...

You can see that Layne wasn't feeling well. That feeling you get when you're sick and your body aches and you just want to take a hot bath and wear a blanket all day.

Spent all day listening to Alice in Chains just to see this video being uploaded. My favourite band ever!

layne. such a beautiful soul ❤

Guys make dark scary music but have a great sense of humour.

10:09 “i’m the man in the box... get it? get it?” jerry is so precious

"We used every single word multiple times, I don't think we said anything different..." LMAO

This video is a time capsule, I love it!

2:50 God, he was so incredibly gorgeous, especially when he smiled ❤️

"I came in for a colonic ya know? But they told me the machine was clogged." Hilarious.

No matter Layne 's untimely death he had the best voice of his generation and the music Alice in Chains created is incredible and stands the test of time.

Thank you to Jerry or whoever operates this channel for posting this, you guys are all great people

Alternative title: boys hanging out and being typical boys together

"The songs were about things that we're think when we wrote down and When u listening whatever you think it's about... THAT'S what is about" Layne ❤ Best Band EVER! Thanks for posting this!

"Can we go up to thoity thoid and thoid?"

Sean Kinney is SO HILARIOUS ... They. introduced Layne to Nona and told him (he/she) was a production managers (or someone like that) mother or great aunt and Layne believed it for awhile until Nona kept smiling at him. Then he knew 😃😄 💲PRICELESS💲

I saw Layne's final arena show at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Missouri, on a bill with the original lineup of KISS in 1996. Nobody knew. People complained that the sound was off and basically ignored AiC at the time. They had a reputation of opening for difficult to open for bands. In 1991, I saw them open for Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth. Those fans are not nice. AiC stuck to their guns and won over many thrash metal fans including fans of Slayer, the hardest crowd to please in all of rock at the time.

I'll never get sick of watching this

After I read in David de Sola's book about how, in his final years, Layne would go to this comic book store near his condo and just shuffle around, high on dope and look at cool stuff, knock things over and then buy whatever caught his attention... my heart was hurting so much that I needed to watch this again to cheer myself up. There's just something about that scene I think we can all relate to cause when you're in this really dark place, stuff from your childhood and childlike things can make you feel better in a way that no drug can. I don't know if I can really describe why picturing him in that store just is do immensely sad but I hope I'm not the only one who feels that way. It's like, he had nothing to live for at that moment but he still tried to make himself feel a bit better. Even though Layne's clearly a bit absent in this video, he's still joking around and Jerry as Nona and Sean as the clown are literally one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.

@8:00 "Do you occasionally hit the other members?" The answer should have been "in the head with a coffee table". lol

Layne's voice relaxs me, That's how I picture him in Heaven chilling like the "grind" video

I love this documentary. They all are soooo funny, and Layne is so funny, sweet, and beautiful

I can never get enough of that godly riff in "Heaven Beside You." (22:30).

"when this record comes out what will people notice most about it?" "the songs"

Layne's eyes look so pure on this video. He was too pure maybe.

Sean is one of the funniest guys I've ever seen 😂

This never fails to crack me up! I still find it hard to believe that Jerry, in particular, was fearless enough to do this. Priceless!

Damn layne why are you gone you left on this rock all alone.

So glad this finally got "officially" posted. Nona always cracks me up. Jerry looks great in a dress and Sean makes a great clown.

Jerry Cantrell is and always has been my favorite guitar player of all time, absolutely convinced me that I could do it myself as I saw him step farther and farther in front and take lead.

i love how alice in chains still kicks ass to this very day. can't wait for there new album!

YES! Thank you so much for uploading this amazing footage of the Nona Tapes! Finally a great quality copy! Alice In Chains rocks and will always be my favorite. Layne is missed every day! 💜💜👍👍

Jerry is so beautiful. I love Layne. And he's beautiful as well. But Jerry has always been my favorite. I can't meet Layne, but hopefully I'll get to see AIC live one day.

Such a great band. I love they had this silly side and when they hit the stage they were all business. Godsmack stole their everything

12:02 ‘I was getting to that yup. I am. Happy. I think I’m gonna cry’ 😂 love his sense of humor.

Layne talking about getting attacked by collies was unexpectedly hilarious

It's about time!!! I still have the VHS

Man, I love this band! I totally wish I wasn't born in 1989. Layne had that iconic voice! Now, I really wish I could've heard more of his voice. Total legends!!!

12:03 "Are you happy?"

So badass! Please upload the official video for Angry Chair.

the world needs more jerry in drag

Jerry's got some SERIOUS acting chops. Sean too.

Nona was the lost Golden Girl we never got to see. Jerry Cantrell is awesome 😊

"I think imma cry" lol

Jerry Cantrell 😍

Holy shit. Jerry on the brick cell phone at @ 9:50 just made me feel so old...

Man if they have all of this little footage I really hope they have the tapes they came from. Would love to see home footage of them in the studio or on tour back in the day. 🖤
