It's been a while since I've touched grunge on this channel, and I really wanted to hear more Layne Staley and Alice In Chains. What better choice than what Jerry Cantrell called "the master piece of our record", and dives into the private relationship between Layne and his then girlfriend Demri. This song is HAUNTING!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Alice In Chains performing "Love, Hate, Love" for the first time.

Hell, sick Layne shook it just as hard. His unplugged performance, crouched in a ball and dope sick he still killed it

@IRGeamer Год назад

Agreed. There was a truly unfortunate and rapid drop off in technique as the drugs took hold. Once the "Dirt" album showed glimpses of the darkness they were experiencing with possibly the emotionally heaviest album ever recorded, Layne could never quite recover. In more ways than one. Once you get a chance, I would like if you could do a reaction to something from their third, self titled album where Jerry starts picking up some of the slack and a few of the songs are sung in tandem like "Again". Jerry actually had to do many of the lead vocals solo on that album.

The way that Cantrell could capture Staley's emotions on guitar with his timing and odd chord voicings can't be lost under the pain of loss. There was a true symbiotic relationship there.

@rycolligan Год назад

The thing I can't get over in this song is how coherent the whole band feels. The drumming is playing all of these staggering, syncopated beats and never feels off time, the guitar is working through all of these tri-tone scales, the bass is plowing through the foundation, and Lane is spilling his guts out in front. It never feels disjointed even as it is wallowing in dissonance. It's a tremendous accomplishment.

I had the pleasure of seeing Alice in Chains @ Lalapalooza in 1993. He came on stage with a 5th of Jack in his hand, eyes closed, obviously not sober... put his foot on the front monitor speaker and belted out Dirt in its entirety... never opened his eyes once. It was jaw dropping. The entire audience was just entranced. Layne's voice was one of a kind. It's pained, embattled, sad... but just magical. Many have tried to duplicate it. Seeing the new version of Alice in Chains is almost abrasive in comparison.

@Celeste-.-marie Год назад

@richardcurtis1912 7 месяцев назад

Live at The Moore was filmed in ‘91. I personally think when he was sober in ‘93 his voice was even stronger than the Moore Theatre show. If you were in the first 12 rows at one of the Amphitheater shows on the Dirt tour in ‘93, you could absolutely FEEL Layne’s voice when he was hitting high notes! Layne was a phenomenal singer and always in the moment when he was singing. I’m really glad that I saw them as many times as I did. I seriously wish that I could have afforded to see them even more back then, but those Lollapalooza tour dates were so spread out state to state, it was hard to afford the tickets, gas, hotels, doing all the driving ,and getting the time off work as well. I saw them 4 times in ‘93 alone, so I can’t complain.

Unfortunately,l it wasn't only when they hit the bigger stage when drugs were influencing their performances. I saw them back in March 1991 - 5 months after the release of Facelift - they were of all things opening for Megadeth. The Almighty sandwiched in between them - a something of an eclectic mix to say the least! At that point I hadn't heard either AIC or The Almighty and let's just say they had an off night! Layne was general all over the place and they really didn't sell what Facelift had to offer, The Almighty however came out and knocked it out the park - I went away from the gig and bought The Almighty's albums and didn't return to AIC until the release of Dirt. The irony of this being that Facelift nowadays is somewhere in my Top 40 LPs ever - but that performance went down as a forgettable mess to say the least.

@thatsoxgirl Год назад

As many others have said, 30+ years later and I still get goosebumps. The absolute power and control Layne had will never be replicated. I saw AIC in their height in the 90s and I couldn’t take my eyes off him. He was quite hypnotic and mesmerizing. I just saw them, for the first time since Layne died, a few months ago. While the band, and William, sound great, it was different. I was thrilled to hear their music love again though. RIP Layne, we miss you so incredibly much.

@RJ-br2qg Год назад

AIC is a top all time band ever. And easily in my top 5 ever in US bands. I love everything about this band. Their music has always spoke to me the most of all the bands of this era. And lets not forget the vocals that Jerry Cantrell brought to the sound of AIC, not to mention his phenomenal guitar sound. Their dual harmonies/and better said as dissonant harmonics that the lead singer Layne Staley and guitarist created are among the best ever in any band in the world that's ever existed period. They are the gold standard in my opinion and have been unmatched since. Layne's technique for singing is all emotion, purity and his existence in his expression and sound. Yet he was likely never classically trained his voice was a powerhouse. He's forever a king among rock vocalists. When people study rock 100 years from now in music history they will study Layne Staley's vocals. Thank you for this amazing analysis!

@emilymorgan5586 Год назад

Wake up is so amazing. It's absolutely beautiful.

@AddLies Год назад

I think Wake Up is a track that adds two important aspects to Layne's legacy, as we retrospect. Firstly, places Layne amongst the pantheon of great classic American counter-culture singers - as in those found in the '60s. Yes, he's a great alt-rock singer, but with Wake Up, he transcends that label. His performance in that song is like an echo from the past emerging within him decades later. It sounds absolutely like him, but at the same time requires a double-check. Nowhere else does he sound quite like that. Secondly, and sadly, it hints towards a whole new direction he could have taken as he aged. As such, it really emphasizes that distinctly tragic notion of a life cut short - another, albeit heartbreaking, allusion to the greats. It would be a pleasure to hear an analysis of it on this channel.

@dfbovey Год назад

Most folks get the wrong idea about Layne's abilities by listening to his near end of life unplugged performances first. Not understanding how powerful he was in his prime. Roaring like a pissed off mountain lion.

You are an inspiration Elizabeth for everyone to keep an open mind. The thought of his vocals ever being autotuned is horrifying to me.

It's interesting hearing someone so musically trained listen to this. I may be wrong, but I doubt Layne had any thought on a theoretical level like this, he just felt it. This is literally his emotion pouring out. The best songs are felt and not overly purposefully technical. It's organic.
