Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell have given us some of the best harmonies ever.

@Brando-Lee3725 Год назад

Possibly my all time favorite rock vocalist . He could do SO MUCH and was so unique especially then . Him and Cantrell had the most haunting harmonies with each other . I really dont think Layne knew how special he was . And that is fn sad .

@Dink_13 Год назад

So true

@PriestessOfNothing Год назад

Layne was a completely different beast than other singers. A lot of people become taken by the vulnerability Layne showed in his singing and writing. He never lied, never said things were grand, he always just put it all out there. Having been there from beginning to end...I think we all knew it was coming. We watched him deteriorate over time. And MTV Unplugged was painful to me (I don't know about anyone else) because he was in such rough shape. I wish he didn't have to struggle like he did, but at the same time that struggle is what made him captivating. I miss that guy, every day, and I'm grateful we still have the music.

@Levity635 Год назад

Brilliant reaction! 🥰 Definitely check out their song "Love Hate Love live at the Moore" next. The music video for their song "Them Bones" is another wonderful one, & the music video for the song "Would?" as well. 😊

@paulsmith2516 Год назад

You are feeling EXACTLY what us Gen Xers felt when we heard Layne 30 years ago. They definitely did play this live and they were so powerful it was incredible. I saw them in Glasgow they nearly destroyed everybody there with their sheer intensity. The pavement outside afterwards looked like a disaster scene, metal heads everywhere collapsed on the ground exhausted and delighted 😆

@toddanderson9807 Год назад

Their performance of Down in a Hole from the MTV Unplugged concert series is hauntingly beautiful. The entire concert is amazing and definitely worth watching. Also, Love/Hate/Love live at the Moore Theater in Seattle is widely considered one of the best examples of what Layne was capable of.

One of the best and most important bands of the 90s, Layne and jerry had a great songwriting partnership but it came with alot of turmoil and drug use. Another amazing reaction Aileen.

@siknessgaming7305 Год назад

I could see why you could think the lyrics were Layne's cry for help(he did put a lot of emotion in his singing), but Jerry wrote a majority of the songs including Down In a Hole. Layne actually was very supportive of Jerry and pushed him to sing because he wrote most of their songs. Now a great song Layne wrote, Angry Chair. Go through whole albums, Facelift an amazing debut album then they followed up with Dirt, just an unbelievable talented band.

@douglasgonzalez7561 Год назад

One of the greatest effects to Lane Staley’s vocals was the harmonies they incorporated. Both with Jerry Cantrell’s vocals AND Jerry’s guitar playing!

He was relatively healthy during this album. Dirt is where you can see and hear his true pain and downward spiral.

@aryansigrid Год назад

Hi Aileen, Personally the most heartfelt but also heartbreaking song for me that I've heard by Layne is with his band "Mad Season", the song is called "Wake Up" - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x6E0Z8wqNDQ.html The first time I watched Layne perform this song was live @ the Moore Theatre 04/29/1995, Seattle. I was so emotionally moved by the lyrics & Layne's vocals as I am an addict myself. The lyric's are just so heart-breaking & Laynes voice is unreal!

@CousinWhatIsIt Год назад

This song was very much a bridge between glam metal and grunge. This hit before Nirvana, Soundgarden, or STP were on the radio.

@jamesdjl4359 Год назад

Krist Novoselic and Kim Thayil have both said that Alice in Chains inspired them. So the respect was definitely mutual amongst all the Seattle bands.

@casey10bb Год назад

Try, if you will, to think of Layne's voice without knowing any personal background on him. He is a truly remarkable talent, and although it may be difficult to do this, try anyway. Watch Liive at the Moore concert to get another feel from him....he has many. His range, breath control and different variations of singing are amazing.

@goldenruletv7301 Год назад

R.I.P. Layne Staley. He was absolutely one of the best lead vocalists to ever live...up there with Cris Cornell R.I.P. this was from their incredible debut album which is a top 8 maybe top 10 debut album of all-time. Facelift is an incredible showcase of Layne's incredible voice and the band was "hungry" but I have to say that AIC have an incredible catalog of music even after Layne passed away. I love Layne Staley.

@himynameis3664 Год назад

I saw Layne in a three piece suit at the start of their set on Lollapolooza in 93 and it was like 95 degrees that day! Needless to say he took the jacket tie vest and shirt off after playing Would the first song to start the show! Very charismatic singer and great stage presence! His voice very unique and an unbelievable range! RIP Layne!

@leonjean4984 Год назад

Love Hate Love please. you'll be blown away with the live version

@BuckESmith-eh9md Год назад

The song was about censorship. Layne Staley said "I started writing about censorship. Around the same time, we went out for dinner with some Columbia Records people who were vegetarians. They told me how veal was made from calves raised in these small boxes, and that image stuck in my head. So I went home and wrote about government censorship and eating meat as seen through the eyes of a doomed calf. " Cantrell said "It's about how government and media control the public's perception of events in the world or whatever, and they build you into a box by feeding it to you in your home. And it's about breaking out of that box and looking outside of that box that has been built for you."

@scottmillican7000 Год назад

Layne Staley and Geoff Tate of Queensryche (along with Ann Wilson of Heart and Chris Cornell) were trained by the same West Seattle-based vocal coach Maestro David Kyle. All four were really powerful singers and I'm guessing that is the connection.

@mpguilfo Год назад

Alice In Chains is amazing. Your analysis makes me think about how I used to listen to this music as a kid. Getting into the instruments, never paying mind to the lyrics up until recently and realizing how these songs were a more direct reflection of my internalized pain than I ever thought. Another great one! Cant wait for more.

@mpguilfo Год назад

I don't want to bias your opinions, but if you ever touch back on Alice in Chains... 'Again' and 'Rooster' are other songs of theirs that I have always held dear, but never could have predicted would speak volumes of my life decades before ever happening.

@bruno3778 Год назад

Another one of my favorite bands ever! (Actually, I'm pretty sure I say that every time you post an AIC, SOAD, or Pink Floyd reaction video). From my understanding, this song is about censorship and how bands/musicians/artists are controlled by their labels, producers and media. Animal cruelty is the metaphor here. Also, if you haven't reacted to Love Hate Love by them (live performance-legendary!), I implore you to do so. It really displays Layne's haunting vocals and incredible range.

@johnnyeproductions Год назад

When Layne did that "wailing sound" Jerry Cantrell played a lead line with a talk box/wah peddle to give the harmony to Layne's voice

@correctlyrics Год назад

The "aye-aye-aye" part is both Layne and Jerry through his talk box. But Layne is slightly louder.

@JonWarren78 Год назад

For a good live version of this just watch the performance at Live at the Moore. Would and It Ain't Like That recorded for the Singles film are amazing watches. Also Love Hate Love Live at the Moore is incredible. Probably my favorite live performance of any artist.

@TheColemark Год назад

Your really should do a reaction to the band mad season. River of deceit is an amazing song…it a collaboration of Alice In Chains and pearl jam

@ShadowArtist Год назад

sounds like your listening to the radio/MTV edit, the original line at the beginning is "I'm the man in the box Buried in my SH!T" and later "I'm the dog who gets beat Shove my nose in SH!T" the song is alluding to being about a soldier that is a *prisoner of war* and how they were treated during the Vietnam War and using that also as a metaphor for deep depression and him pleading to Jesus to come and save him, but no one does, not even Jesus. . . . he asks "sow my eyes shut" so he can't see his "shit" his pain anymore, and also "feed my eyes" as in be given the light of enlightenment, salvation, freedom from the box of shit and pain he's inside of

@dracaroni.n.cheese Год назад

I don’t like the censored version very much. “Shit” is so important in this song for me cause of the emotion.
