When I heard the news of Mark’s passing, I couldn’t help but cry. I have NEVER, in my nearly 33 years on this rock, shed a tear over the passing of a celebrity before, but this one was different. I discovered Mark Lanegan thru a music teacher showing me the Mad Season album, I heard Long Gone Day and I had to hear more of that voice. His words, and his incredible voice spoke to me on a level I hadn’t expected, nor experienced before. Of course, while I didn’t know him personally, I felt like he knew me and I “knew” him, if that makes any sense. When I found out he’d passed, it was like losing an old friend I hadn’t seen or spoken to in years. Then, on 3/25/22, we lost Taylor Hawkins and I felt the same way I did when I found out Mark passed away. The only times I’ve ever felt personally affected by the loss of a public figure, and both within a month of each other, almost to the day. I don’t normally get affected when a famous person or celebrity dies, but these two were different. The loss of Mark Lanegan & Taylor Hawkins hurt… a lot. Rest In Peace, you two fucking legends. 💔😭
Lanegan was laynes bestest friend for years and toured with them when the trees opened for Alice all over the globe and lanegan said watching layne was the single most impressive male vocal performances he’d ever seen and he’d watch from side stage in awe night after night, must be so deep for him to cover Alice songs he watched layne sing a hundred times
I love how Mark described Layne as “magical”. I got the impression they were real sweet with each other. Rip to both beautiful talented souls, I hope they are hanging out up there ✨💛✨
@search4truth I would have loved to have seen any of them back then, was planning on seeing ML at Sonic Temple, but didn’t. If it would have been him with Mad Season I would have, didn’t know his solo work, but “locomotive” and especially “Slip Away” r my favs from the Mad Season album🤘🏻I hate it when I have to kick myself in the ass for not following thru with shit, always think next time, but next times don’t always come around, damnit
@search4truth the Foo Fighters played Sonic Temple, main headliners on Sunday, but I’m kicking myself in the ass on that one as well. They evacuated because of a storm and instead of going back in to see them we decided to go ahead and start the 5 hour trip home(esp. since we were already in our vehicle). Foo Fighters played for 2 freak🆖hours! Dumb Dumbs for making that choice! If only there were Do-Overs🤘🏻
This song still breaks me up. I still remember sitting in my pickup truck in the parking the day Layne died listening to my Sap cassette over and over crying till I decided to skip the day of classes, get something to eat and start fresh tomorrow. Bittersweet.
ya man I remember the moment I found out too.. what a tragic day for music. after Layne went I was sure AIC was done. lucky for us Jerry Cantrell said the show must go on. I really like the new singer.
I was eating at a Pizza Hut with our bassist and potential new drummer, and the subject of influencing bands came up. I immediately mentioned Alice and the drummer looks at me and says “oh you know he died right?” I thought he was just being an asshole until I got home and saw the news
Its cool that Nancy's sister Ann sang on the original version of this track and now here she is almost 30 years later singing on it in place of her sister. Brilliant cover
Yeah, that's Liv Warfield doing the real singing. Let's be real: Nancy isn't doing much here but looking awkward. :/ the cover that Ann did was much more natural, but still pretty awkward also. These women simply don't actually know this music or listen to it and it shows.
HOLY SHIT, Liv Warfield killed it here. Everyone else did too, but, damn. I'd never heard of her before now, and wow, I got a lil emotional hearing her sing one of my favorite tunes. I will be on the lookout for her soulful voice in the future!
@@tysonhenry37 I have probably known who Layne Staley and AIC are longer than you have. I was just making a general reference to how great of a version this is. Go away.
The Mighty Alice in Chains...how is it that each of the great Seattle bands leading up to the grunge era, had such a distinct musical signature, with such a plethora of musical influences? From Jimi Hendrix and Heart, through Queensryche and Danzig, to Mother Love Bone, AIC, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Mudhoney and Pearl Jam, there must be something in the water there
@@goofayoo its not glenn danzig they're talking about. its charlie danzig. lesser known. but to answer the what's in the water question or suggestion, its heroin. there's heroin in the water in seattle. at least in the 80's and 90's
@@chito2294 Interesting. I grew up and still reside in the area, and have never heard of him. Cannot seem to find anything online about him either. Who was he?
@@goofayoo oh. sorry. i was joking. my entire comment was a joke. ive no idea why one would think danzig is from seattle. also they did not put heroin in the water in the 80's and 90's
Jerry needs to write music with everyone lol, absolute genius, he’d probably make magic with Nancy and just about every other musician who performed at this AiC tribute
This is the third best version IMHO. Only behind Fishbone doing Them Bones and Ann Wilson doing Rooster. Mark Lanegan voice still give me chills. Love the Trees, Time Speaks Her Golden Tongue and Dollar Bill.
Mark really ads quite a layer to this. Everyone was on point, the solo is a highlight for sure. Just all together an amazing tribute and great to see all this content
JUST BEAUTIFUL! It amazes me how they all came together from different places and did this so perfectly. I can only imagine how Jerry must’ve been felt! Thank y’all so much for this experience.
Absolutely beautiful.... Reminds me of being 15 in 1991! I love it and I love the SAP Album forever, my teenage time, first girlfriend, big love, great music, open future... Thanks a lot Mark, Nancy, Liv, Jeff, Ben, Andy and Ryan!!!!
RIP to all these brothers and sisters. This should have so many more views. Mr. Lanegan has been and will be one of my favorites for many many years. Also the artists on this cover were incredible. Liv and Nancy crushed it in my opinion
Is Fielder EVERYBODY'S choice to step in for an open guitar part? He should be - he's awesome. So expressive on his own, and so adaptive to whatever style is needed by a particular performance.
💔This Song Will Always🌌 Be Soulful & Simple Perfection especially tonight🪔 R.I.P. Mark Lanegan🕯️You All Stay Safe ⏳ & Take Care of Each Other😘 Untill We Meet Again💎🪞👗👠💄📿🌹🌉❤️♾️
