I admit, the first time I heard Layne Staley of Alice In Chains, I didn't understand the style of grunge until I heard him performing "Down In A Hole" acoustically. Since then, I've wanted to consume every Layne and Jerry Cantrell song I can muster. "I Stay Away" came to pass in a discussion with a few patrons, and seeing as how I needed to hear more AIC, I figured let's give it a look!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Alice In Chains performing "I Stay Away" for the first time.

When people say "Alice in Chains harmonies", this is what they mean. That distinct sound, can't mistake it for anyone else.

@gavinsheridan4680 Год назад

And sometimes its harmonies of the harmonies, like the album track of DOIH. They were always trying to mix it up.

@zippitydoodah5693 Год назад

Truth

@NoahWolfe Год назад

Layne and Jerry / Layne's harmonies were so haunting, beautiful, and unique. If you are lucky enough to have it cut right through you, resonate both musically and emotionally, it's art you will never forget.

@pmenzel86 Год назад

My one problem with their harmonies is that they distract from just how damn good Layne's voice was

@godwarrior3403 Год назад

@@pmenzel86Yeah. I'm a big aic fan but I see the harmonies as a negative. They sound like a weird mesh of noises rather than a song voice for one, and they take away from Layne's voice. I totally disagree their harmonies are beautiful or amazing

@petsounds3612 Год назад

The production on this album is so underlooked. One of my favorite bass tones on any album EVER

@puppetmaster8551 Год назад

No hate to Starr but Inez work on this record is stellar and the album never would’ve been the perfect masterpiece it is with Starr still on bass, Inez bass is crucial to this record and he had a way bigger impact on this EP than Starr did on any AIC project. Truly a genius decision for them to add Inez into the band, the bass work and tone on this record is just so damn good, his bass during the unplugged show is glorious too.

@chefstar72 Год назад

Inez was with Ozzy before that, so he definitely had his practice before joining on this album

@puppetmaster8551 Год назад

@@casey10bb I can’t remember, Jerry talked about that song in a magazine back in the 90s about how he wrote whale & wasp when he was 19. It’s possible it was Inez idea to add the strings but at minimum the bones of the song was written by Jerry when he was 19

@Snoopdog333333 5 месяцев назад

you can thank producer Toby Wright for that! Layne typically only did one cut on this EP!!!!

@zippitydoodah5693 Год назад

Mercy. One of my all time favorite AIC recordings. I dearly wish this one would have made it onto the unplugged performance. It is a powerful song with the intricate production values and I appreciate the skill, talent, and creativity that went into it. But to hear a stripped down, acoustic version would have been exquisite I bet. Can't wait for this to premiere.

@mmaaddict78 11 месяцев назад

I've always loved Alice in Chains' discordant sound. It's like a harmony that is off a key or something that makes it magic. They layered at least 3 Layne tracks on top of eachother in the studio for this tune.

@jeffakins4596 11 месяцев назад

Hey, not sure if you're still checking comments on this video since it was a few months ago, but if you really want a good clear listen to both Layne Staley's and Jerry Cantrell's voices, you should do an analysis of Don't Follow", from this same album (Jar of Flies). This time period was when the balance between the two was at its absolute peak. Jerry sand the first part of the song, with both of them contributing to the harmonies, and then Layne sings the end. And it's an absolutely amazing song that you'll love. Another great example where both of them get their share of vocal distinction is the song "Would?" from the Dirt album (probably my favorite AiC song ever). Jerry singe the first two verses with Layne in the harmony, and then Layne does the chorus and the epic ending. That's another that would make for a great analysis :)

@bizichyld 10 месяцев назад

@bizichyld 0 seconds ago I’ve seen them live 3 times now and never seen this track performed. Might be due to the difficulty of arranging an orchestra, but I wish they’d just play it anyway. It’s always been my favorite but I’ve never heard it live. It’s their only song that brings tears to my eyes, and it always does. It’s the strings at the outtro with the major interval. Always get me.

@r0botheh0b03 Год назад

Lay Me Down by In This Moment Please. This song does a really good job at allowing Maria Brink flow through her entire vocal range. I think you'll really enjoy it.

@adrielquiroga7901 Год назад

Coming back to watch this video again, I have to recommend you to listen to Frogs, Angry Chair or Sludge Factory from AIC's unplugged concert. Sludge Factory has something interesting happening when they first start playing, Angry Chair has a nice gift before the actual song and Frogs has something really cool at the end. Frogs is my favorite, and it is also linked in its lyrics to their previous song Dirt.

The four other big songs from Jar of Flies ("Rotten Apples", "Nutshell", "No Excuses", "Don't Follow") are all worthy of reaction for various reasons. "Rotten Apples" is unique and atmospheric, "Nutshell" is just about the best Alice in Chains song and may be the definitive Layne Song, "No Excuses" is the best example of the Layne and Jerry vocal dynamics, and "Don't Follow" shows that Jerry is no slouch himself but features a great Layne section himself. Please consider these for the future.

That’s Jerry for you, one of the most versatile songwriters ever, Layne was one of the best singers ever but Jerry’s super wide range as a songwriter are the main thing that made AIC such a versatile band and allowed them to make a dark as album like dirt and then immediately follow it up with something like jar of flies and then go back to a really dark but different sound for tripod. Jerry’s solo discog is crazy versatile too, degradation trip vol1&2 is absolutely nothing like brighten and boggy depot is kind of a mix of everything. Jerry will always be one of the best songwriters ever, his songwriting paired with Layne vocals was truly special and magical, the will remain one of the best musical duos forever

@puppetmaster8551 Год назад

@@Apodalont Jerry was the primary songwriter not Layne so he contributed more than anyone to the direction their sound went, obviously a lot of Layne’s lyrics became really dark but a lot of their dark music was also written by Jerry and musically alot of those dark instrumentals were all Jerry. Jerry’s songwriting was already taking them in a darker direction Layne’s addiction issues and struggles only amplified that more tho. It’s why Jerry’s masterpiece solo record degradation trip vol1&2 is as dark as any AIC album and Layne obviously had nothing to do with it. Jerry just has a special ability to write really dark and depressing music that’s also incredible, pair that with Layne’s struggling and his own lyrical content becoming darker and you got some really dark depressing and eerie music that was incredible.

@@vitorkaique5782 Soundgarden, while amazing (saw them in concert in 1997), doesn't have the range that AIC did, IMHO. To take nothing away from the amazing Soundgarden. Chris Cornell and Layne Staley were both vocal titans who had a unique sound that will never be duplicated.

@vitorkaique5782 8 месяцев назад

Chris Cornell's range is C#2-G6, Layne Staley's range is G1-D7, he did those notes live too, he hit D7 when he killed himself, Chris Cornell's range is literally contained in Layne's range. However, Cornell only reaches 4 octaves in one song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gh20q3Dx8RI.html&pp=ygUQYmV5b25kIHRoZSB3ZWxsIA%3D%3D Singing professionals have said that Cornell never used his full chest and head singing strength, because if he did, he could perhaps hit more notes, being a baritone he had a lot of technique to go up and down the pitch, without sounding like a little girl. Besides, on Soundgarden's B-side records, Cornell had VOLUME, EXTENSION, DEPTH AND REACH so much after so many years he admits he couldn't reach all the octaves, due to aging and lifestyle, but he was the GREATEST singer of the 90s. Layne might be close, Cornell was IMBATIBLE.@@shindrithargriethrat8408

For years I'd flip your order, but honestly, in the last couple of years I've deep dived in to AiC pretty hard, and although I love Cornell's music, I think I do genuinely find Layne to be the superior singer, especially at his peak. The Live at the Moore performance really settles it. God I wish I could have gotten to see Layne live. I did get to see Chris live though, on his last birthday in Spokane Washington. His voice aged so well. I wonder what Layne would sound like had he beat his demons and was still around today? Would his voice have matured like Chris's did?

@gNome_5 9 месяцев назад

If we're strictly talking singers-#1 for me, hands-down is Layne Staley-the talent, the lyrics, the music, and the emotions. Then, my #2 would most likely be Serj Tankian-unbelievably talented man! I'm gonna probably have to say Kurt Cobain would be #3-purely based on an emotional, nostalgic, and personal level. Otherwise, Mike Patton is exceptionally talented-just doesn't evoke in me the deep emotions like with the other three. To each their own tho. Music is what feelings sound like! 🤘🏼❤️♾️

If you want to "stay away from the darkness" might i recommend the group Band-Maid. I consider them the "anti-Alice in Chains".

I discovered Alice in Chains during one of the darkest times of my life, when my father suddenly died three days after my 21st birthday. The dark and surreal melodies, intermingled with ethereal beauty and moments of hopefulness and light, helped me so much during that time. What I get from the music and lyrics is that there is strife, a struggle between light and dark, and a yearning to transcend pain, to attain something greater. That's how the music whispers to me.. seems like it has touched you in a similar fashion. We can't always win over the darkness, but look to the path that leads to light. It's all worth it! Blessed Be❤️
