Mad Season - Long Gone Day 

@nasser wiz axl couldnt sing if he had cough..Layne was high depressed and not healthy and he still sings better than axl in his best prime

@nasser wiz please get a hearing check up

@nasser wiz go to sleep

Mark Lanegan isn't dead.

Damn. This one hurts …

Also R.I.P Saunders

Good ears!

Might be on purpose as a tribute since this a year after Kurt passed

i was looking for this comment nobody seemed to notice that but us

same...

Timeless friends then. I used to play this song when i feel lost or desperated. It releases me of my own cross... Pretty strong lyrics.

Right now, yes

Then u r getting a friend from Brazil, right now...

Thik cha bro...saugat le ni tei bhaneko cha timilai

Thanks buddy, you too

@nasser wiz We’re mourning a dead man and you’re pushing politics. I agree with you on the issue but now is neither the time nor place.

@nasser wiz thats ridiculous, turn the fucking tv off for one day and go outside and just think as an individual human being for a second

@@corb1776 i swear people die every day its one thing if ANY to take into consideration on a daily basis in order to properly appreciate ones own life/situation As well as what has been shared among us and cherished. Why waste each passing day hating thinking about the never was or things that arent ideal. As if the art has taught us nothing its a shame.

@nasser wiz let's go Brandon!

Who's Baker?

Mark Lanegan is not dead.

@@nickromel6654 He died hours ago.

@nasser wiz I have never seen anything from Lanegan regarding Qanon or anti vaxxers. What's your source for this information?

@nasser wiz omg get freaking real.

@nasser wiz you might want to check on some facts.

Don't forget Andy Wood & Shannon Hoon

@@KarlDelaney99 You are right.

That's just kind of hard to even put in comprehension. The timeline. I remember each one of those days as it happened as well 😞🔥R.I.P

Shannon Hoon! 1967-1995

Don't forget rip van stinkle and picke hands Pete!

What if I told you this masterpiece was written and recorded in 1 Earth week!?!? Geniuses at work here.

Rowan Melton Bro, when my best friend told me in Providence that Layne was found dead...I cried and sobbed on the spot like a baby.

👌👌👌

up with the best albums ever out there, makes my life so much more worth.

Just bought a vinyl. Couldn't agree more

agree

Can't agree more!

Have you read in Marks book how they wrote it? Amazing story. So simple and it yielded such powerful results. And Mark only contributed to 2 songs and when the record went platinum Layne and the others made sure Mark got full royalties as if he helped on the entire record. Class act.

Angels only here for a short time on this earth...

agreed

Truth

@Ken Walter Yeah, he's a very boring singer. Sucks, IMO.

Layne and CANTRELL haha 1000x better

@Gob Comon Don't be so hard on yourself ... Lanegan is a kickass rocker, with a legendary voice for sure! You wish!

He kills every song he songs bro

Agree. His voice is steller

Simply amazing, every single time!

Is*

@@Nopealicous he passed away bro.. was

His solo work is absolute banger.

I agree but in his book he talks about how he messed up alot of opportunities

@@douglaskinder9385 agreed and combined with I don't think he ever really wanted to be a performer, just a musician/artist. I didn't realize he was so against touring his first two solo albums until he mentioned it

So true 🥺 he is beyond talented and mesmerizing

Few singers/writers are as prolific and versatile.

They are singing now

​@@swans0ng_331right

Love all his songs with QOTSA

he's a hidden gem, think it like that

I discovered Screaming Trees before this. It was about 95 when I 1st heard ST.

Just finished listening to all Screaming Trees last Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Then Mark's solo stuff all Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday is The Gutter Twins, Twilight Singers, Soul Savers, and QOTSA. That got me through last week. I'm in my alternative, Mad Season this week. Need a repeat.

@@kpsa7108 🖤

Layne could sing and had a great voice. Others just didn't have what he had

Lanegan has the more soothing voice but layne has "it" that nobody else has

@@mcdresab you really comparing layne Staley's voice to kurt Cobain's?

@@mcdresab Shut up kid. Return to Bieber because you know nothing

Layne w/ Jerry's lyrics as well as them in harmony is...the greatest there has ever been,and im a Priest guy- But i kno wat i kno-

Maybe they are luckiest because they're privacy wasn't raped

That man is one hell of a musician

PenPenWatcher oh and the bongos!👍

Skerik

Vibraphone

I like 4:50 when he slips in some of Nirvana's "Come As You Are" in tribute to Kurt's recent passing at the time.

No..I could either drown..or pull off my skin and swim to shore..now I can grow a beautiful shell for all to see...now that's deep....river of deciet.mad season..

That and every line in river of deceit.

Yes but yet No. Everything he wrote is GOLD

Which one actually wrote that line..? I love reading how the 2 of them wrote this song, writing 1 line and passing the paper on and back and forth. 👌💉💉💉💉

Good lyric, but still wading n the shallow end compared to some of his others.

Eddie and Mark Arm are the last two kicking around man 😔

@@soupcat5728 Jerry Cantrell

Don't forget Andrew Wood.

@@grungegazealtmetal in terms of the lead singers yes

Scott Weiland was not grunge. A great frontman & singer but not Grunge.

Well said.

It definately touches something deep down in my soul and brings back LOTS of memories and feelings.

@@shaggyrumplenutz1610 🙏❤

Wonderfully put..

On one hand, I wish we had gotten a second album out of Mad Season but, on the other hand, the fact that this is the one and only album from Mad Season makes it a priceless gem, a timeless classic that will never be duplicated.

Raphael Cote yea, his voice was one of a kind, but many other great singers also have their own style of singing/voice

It's not a fluke that he has touched so many if such a powerful way. Layne was and always will be truly something else I cannot even define.

SAME!!! #Layne4Ever Same goes for Prince (Layne's musical inspiration). #Prince4Ever

100% agreed. The man was on another level

@Shiv Train Cornell and Ben McMillan! \m/

BEAUTIFUL - THANK YOU!

Beautiful

Grazie

Wow!

you miss some words :(

Chris Simpson ♥️♥️♥️

He comes "really" close to sounding like Jim Morrison, and this is coming from one of the lucky ones around in those greatest days of music. He's not there but my God he's excellent, this is an awesome f-ing song.

FK YAH!! YOU DESCRIBED IT! ✊🏾✌🏾🤙🏾😍

Absolutely. Getting major Morrison vibes here.

don't forget the latin rhythm of the cajón :) the whole thing is crazy good

Hell yeah. Daily dose of Layne! 2020 strong!

Whoever said we would wash away with the rain

Sean-s k-baunis life at 25mph isn’t so bad tho. I got 3 myself best thing besides my wife to ever happen to me. It’s nice just to coast and enjoy the ride.

@Shawn Patricio God gave u some luck

Hey man , Russia-Russia-Russia-Russia 2020 august ))) , i love , i love , i love i , love it....

doubted whose voice? Layne's because of drug use and I'm assuming the timeline outs this at least a year after aic

Facts

@@gordonthefreeman exactly

or read it;like normal folk.

Now he's gone too

@@ryanduray1 That sucks man‼️

@@earthcreeper it does:(

Some people have vision problems or don't have time to sit down.

“No one gets out alive” JM

When i hear the word heaven i think in something like this... It would be a great heaven

If Layne, Mike, Hoon & all our other beloved rock legends we lost so tragically...were there, it would be the heaven I always secretly hoped and wished exsisted. Stranger things have happened, right? *hugs*

Yeah I Hope so ... we'll figure it out someday :)

+Josh Bob lol the same!

Sexy sexy sexy! I cant say it enough. :)

is that right??

@@Brandovibe yep. Lanegan's memoir tells it all. Buy his book, man.

I LOVE YOUR ACCOUNT PICTURE

Alicia!!!!

Diego Medina I94 Hino do fluminense

Diego Medina I94...nothing better than a Jar of Flys

Nothing better than the Dirt

@John Wright Hi. Was that comment genuinely necessary?

Younow Ref Yes, it could. I am glad we have amazing videos to watch and we can still hear his voice even though he is gone. But, I miss him terribly and music had never been the same.

with a risk to be downvoted to hell ... I disagree, man ... Layne looks like crap! I love his music (although this is hardly only his music) but the guy looks like a homeless addict...

@@breibreii you're the crap

I wouldnt care what he looked like as long he was still with us. The sun is alot dimmer since he left

Ha! Love you!

I've just noticed that. Magic

It's a pattern that's used in other songs too.

hahahah i screamed when i realized it

This album was released about a year after Kurt Cobains death so they threw that in there to kind’ve pay tribute to kurt right there and they did it really well. they didn’t force it and it sounded really good with the live performance.

Yep I just spotted that too. Very cheeky! Maybe partly inspired by the lyric 'Come on down'?

I'm 24 and me and all my friends listen to Laynes music

15 here and still go to every concert Alice In Chains has to offer

I believe they only performed 2 live shows as Mad Season and 2 secret shows under the moniker “The Gacy Bunch”

@@Derek-pg4ykthat’s correct far as I know

that is like the crown jewel atop this song. a novel could be written about the interpersonal dynamics of this song, alone. of before to alice in chains, to layne stayley, to the "superband" and to the end and all of the surrounding cast. a lot of things to talk about and expound upon.

i’m here with you you’re not alone stay strong 🫶🏼

@@asapbeanuh4119 Thanks my friend that means a lot.

@@punkgrl7991 I hope you've found the light in your journey. If not, I want you to know you have the strength to pull through. You'll persevere. I promise.

I wouldn't waste your time on Praying and NA.

dgranite50 super jealous. but yea heroin is a bitch I've been on it for 6 years. im 25 so not lucky enough to see layne live. thanks for sharing that! oh did you mean to say that you COULD see a light in layne or couldn't see a light?

lifelessdead89, yea i feel very fortunate. I agree H is a bitch. It becomes everything to you and takes everything from you eventually. I know you prolly hate hearing you are still young but take it as a compliment and an opportunity to save yourself and have a happy life! You have to want it, i mean really want it, otherwise your just kidding yourself. And it is the scariest thing you or anyone will ever have to do getting and staying clean. There are sooo many "programs" one can take and make their own, one isn't better than the other as long as it works for you and you stick to it which is key I believe once u do, its a lifelong commitment. If anyone tells you once your clean your not an addict anymore they are full of shit! I myself cannot use any drug or alcohol again! Even if that other drug didn't cause me issues it weakens my mind and my program of recovery. Once you make that choice you have to change almost every element of your life, from eliminating using friends and possibly family that uses to habits and your way of thinking about all aspects of life. Anyways sorry for my rambling I'm just passionate in trying to help others that "Want" help, i don't say that "Need" help because not all that need help want it. But i promise you this, you keep using that and you have 1 of 2 outcomes, you will end up 1.) in prison or 2.) dead! Period! Your choice brother. I'm here for ya to talk to or if you need info. Ill do what I can, That goes for anyone reading this that Wants help. And BTW yea i meant you could see a light on in Layne that hadn't been there in earklier Alice in Chains shows. A quick side-note, like i said i lived in Seattle for 40 some odd years and actually worked on Layne's condo building, just over a week after them finding him overdosed. Sad, no one came looking for weeks after he died, only because no money had been withdrawn from his bank, Take care, and be careful please!

Sikpuppy

Yes? Hello Geoffrey?

DNA Tech, Thanks for the comment, Please list Athens Ga resume if you wouldnt mind. Love to hear it.

interesting. I had the feeling both of them were telling their story. both parts work together, but still different. Lanye's parts are very heavy. He had lost hope some time back, feels like.

Read Lanegan's book, there's a whole chapter about this.

@@turdferguson3855 I'd love to read it even if just for that, let alone how much more great stuff is in his book!

@@BabyCharlotteschannel it's a great book. But, you'll need a bath after reading it.

I have listened to this song thousands of times but never heard this and just watched the video. Thank you for sharing this, what a beautiful thing.

😪

Heartbroken the world is quieter tonight 💔 rock in peace Mark 🖤seattlerockrgrrrl

Never!! EVER.

Absolutely 🤘

I hope the same for that man myself-cool post

+Tim Roberts They don't do music like this anymore. Gone too soon Layne.. 😢

Amazingggggggg

Marianne Ercillo No they don't sis-those days are Long gone

Ross Fregia ....careful what you wish, I can totally agree with you.

Such desperate and powerful lyrics delivered over one of the smoothest, most relaxing jazz pieces I've ever heard. Such a unique song from such a unique era.

heavy handed as fuck

What sucks is that this is the last part of the song, it's my favorite part

Mine too. I'm like expand on that dewds. I read an interview with Lanegan and he said that he and Layne wrote this song together taking turns writing lyrics on a napkin. Fucking A

Very under appreciated but one of my favorite of the 90’s

that is the truth brother ✌🖤💋

@@sarahboller5912 RIGHT?!....THE MOST PERFECT OF SONGS...I know every crack and groove in this # and every glance and smile and smirk on Layne's ADORABLE FACE....MASTERPIECE FRIEND

No, you're not the only one. There is something here from the 60's

Ye I wasn't sure what it was at 1st but easily sounds like it could be from the 70s/80s

Lanegan loaths the comparasion of him to Jim Morrison, that much I know. I don't think this sounds that much like 60's music.

I was just about to say that till I read your comment

Vibraphone, rhodes and bossa nova feel

beautiful

Its very 60's pychedelia...

@@adamturner1563 right and those 420 friendly - OH MAN - PERFECT MARY JANE MUSIC!

I dunno, I'm a big fan but I find that so damn cringey.

@@calsinclair 😎😂

His Autobiography "Sing Backwards & Weep" is incredible - prolly equal or better than anything William S Burroughs ever wrote! Someone put the Audio Book up on Y.T. narrated by the man himself! 🤍Rip Mark & Layne🥀😞

João Pedro yes, he's got his own unique voice

A living legend! Badass!

What is good about it? I don’t like it. He’s off key often and you can tell he smokes too much. His voice is gravelly and he’s sometimes hoarse.

And mark dark and gritty soulful

They were going to, with Chris Cornell as lead singer, but destiny got in the way of that.

@@media696 Drugs are everywhere. People are seeking something that cannot and will not find with them. Drugs are simply leading to the destruction of our culture and the destruction of entire generations. This is coming from a man who has done than his fair share, but still, I wish things were different for the world around me.

@@media696 bro, I have seen the changing of the seasons and the passing of an Age. While all of that is grandiose, things dont seem to be, but a actually ARE becoming less and less. I am but a shadow of what came before me, but still, things today seem poor in my eyes.

@@media696 I have always felt the same. The primary first step is to cleanse one's mind of the sense of "self". Hopes for gain, fear of harm, ambitions of personal advancement, etc. Be more concerned with the long term well being of those around you, their education and personal growth.

I AM JUST SO HAPPY THEY MADE ONE AT ALL.."Seek not outside what you have, For you will weep when your idol falls!"

933 idiots

@@carolschmelz6422 I'd say its impossible to not like this song enough to dislike it. It has to be RU-vids algorithm or something call me crazy but I swear how else can you explain disliking this.

1200 idiots.

I do the same man! 🤟🏼 Beside I’m sure Layne can feel our love in some way! LL

Miss them. They gave everything a human can. That’s life. So amazing inspiring loving. Straight from the heart!!!!

Threw his life away with drugs. Wish more people would stay away from the Smack.

@@Mike_B622 are you the smack police? If so, please clean up our cities and save lives. Thank you.

No. This was already musical heaven. They had it. And then squandered it.

Yes girl!🙌🏼

Right on

idleviewer2010 not everyone is unique lol

Patrick Bertlein true that brother lol

idleviewer2010 radicalist

Layne was definitely the greatest of the seattle bands of that era, chris cornell a close 2nd

Mr Bungle Layne? you mean Alice in Chains? Anyways, if u were to single any musician out of the band to be the most talented it would be Cantrell by 5 miles.

Agreed, Seattle saxophonist Skerik - check him out. :>)

Cheers mate. Will do ;)

He's been a local fixture for a while, but you see him popping up on a lot of other people's stuff. Wacky projects here and there. Check Les Claypool's live version of "Hendershot" from the Frog Brigade disc 1. I wish I had been more aware him when I was younger.

he did one with the band Heart also , back in the day

Lazy Bastard no offense dude but that's just a side note the sax was mind-blowing well before that....

Layne clearly can never be replaced or even come close to it

I believe he knew. I also think he was overwhelmed and felt underappreciated by those that really mattered to him in his personal life.

Oh..MAN do I wish also 👍 But Layne (lead singer)& john baker Saunders (bass guitar)are not with us anymore 😞 Thank the lord for our memories & youtube👍☺️ rock on brother!✌️️

Joey Dunlop

Yea I thought it was part of the song at first but after a few replays I finally realized they put come as you are in there. Pretty cool of the saxophonist

JIMMY.J REVIEWS the bass is just perfect...it must have been dream come true for him to jam with such contemporaries like Barrett Martin, Mike, Mark, and Layne...wow!!

I used to attend meeting with Baker; what a cool dude he was.

JIMMY.J excellent comment dude I couldn't agree more I wondered about that guy it's too bad he's gone he kind of reminded me of the older delayo brother in the Stone Temple Pilots I always like that guy too

JIMMY.J REVIEWS. Thx for showing some love to him...We have lost too many of our 90s greats, and the demon wind heroin keeps blowing. My 20 yr old stepson is an H addict. He has been in and out of over a dozen rehabs in 2017..I cant comfort my wife knowing she is coming to terms with his eventual fate. He is 7 days clean and we can only pray and keep loving. One day at a time.

I love Layne’s smirk when he introduced the song awesome band incredible talent

Definitely, Laynes mom said he was the most proud of this song.

Insanely beautiful

To be in my 20’s when this was recorded is awesome to be witness to such a masterpiece is phenomenal 🔥💯

same here Anna. Its as fresh today as it was 20+ years ago for me.

That would be "love, hate, love" 😉

Spot on, i thought the same! Its almost "Easy Listening",...dare i say,..lol!

It's a beautiful fuckin song man.

Andy P Too right mate, anything by mad season /AIC is just THE best,...EVER!!,..lol Helped me through sum dark times!

dukeswhiteshark Same here.

I agree, if you are going to attempt to categorize this album...I can only think of Alternative-Avant garde really. It's unique and the front cover is very good. I can't solidly categorize this. Maybe bluesy with wake up and river of deceit? That's a weird...it's different.

They took turns writing the lyrics line for line

Mark is boring 😴 to me in this song.
