Lyrics:
We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight, and yet I fight this battle all alone
No one to cry to, no place to call home
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
These unplugged sessions in the 90's are MASTERPIECES of music history!!
That is a fact!! 😊💓🤘✌️
The weirdest thing. I was a teen in the 90s and i didnt like unplugged.. well into my adulthood now i prefer unplugged!
This one and R.EM.’s are the tops for me.
@searing7549 REM were my favorite band growing and saw them in concert- flawless performance!!
Yup, recorded em all on vhs as they premiered n watched em over n over again🎉👍🤘
I am now 33 years old but my dad turned me on to this song about 4 years ago. I was deep in heroin/fetynal addiction. As I was listening to this song he told me how Layne Staley was found by his mother after an OD and I can honestly say there isn't not 1 other song out there that catches me like this. Happy to say Dec 27th I'll be 3 years clean!!
Happy for you man. You are a gift to the world. Stay strong, you're more powerful than you know
Good job man. That's a true accomplishment.
I'm actually a girl lol...thanks tho ☺️
@@Audreanna1027 that's even more impressive tbh. Glad you're in a better place now.
@@davidmiller-zf8zl Thankyou!
22 years without Layne Staley as of today. April 5th, 2024. Rest easy you beautiful torture soul.
❤
❤️
❤️
❤️🩹
We miss you, Layne. Fly on!
this song sounds like heaven but hurts like hell
Perfect description. Damn
How philosophical! How true!
DANGGGG
Your exactly right
Man…
That bass, people... listen to that bass...it's *everything*
Ok we get it , you play bass
Friends don’t let friends get haircuts, the bass sounds so good on this whole concert
Same feeling here
Yes that bass is so haunting. Made me buy one and take lessons at 39 yrs old.
@@denomizotakh Actually, no - I just appreciate the bass in this song...assume, much?
I am watching this on April 5th, 2024. Layne Staley died exactly 22 years ago today as of the time I wrote this comment. The incredible impact this man had during his short life. RIP Layne, you are easily one of the best of all time, you will be remembered forever.
exactly this. RIP Layne, gone but never forgotten
RIP, Layne. You are dearly missed. Must say if AIC was among the populous of today they would still receive the same type attention, fan base, and recognition by today's generation. I do not believe there would be any difference in their notoriety.
And yesterday it was 28 years ago they recorded this unplugged session. April 10th 1996. Thank you Layne for blessing us with this masterpiece before departing this world❤️
yep a day after my birthday, April 4th, always felt a connection to him, fuck I miss this guy
“I’d feel better dead” hits hard
The older I get the more I realize this one of the best songs ever written.
Yup. It's been 30 years since this song was released. And it is the most beautiful song I've heard.
No the best song ever written was by a stooge of Christ and his minions.
Same
Short of Wish You Were Here you are corr
I've had enough I'm choosing me over the junk on my way to rehab wish me luck all...2023 update... your love and thoughts have meant so much to me...I've been clean but it's always gonna be a work in progress probably for the rest of my life...but that's ok because I know I'm worth the work...love each other and most importantly...love yourself ❤️ ...2024 update...man I just wanted to say I love you guys ❤️....we can do anything we put our minds to ❤️
Good luck man🤘
Vlad the Evil good luck 💙
Good luck! 💕
prayers ♥️
Crush it Vlad!! You can do it.
Unplugged was the best idea MTV ever had.
100%
You've never seen liquid television
Better than teen mom and catfish....
Yeah, u are right.
The best
MTV is a joke shell of itself now, so sad
April 2024 anyone?
at least once a month i watch this😊 i know someone who was there too🥹
+
I will never stop watching this performance, he knew this was it saddest shit ever
😢
I as well watch this at least once a month
@@mrs.interpret
There are songs that actually save peoples lives. This is one of them.
Went to rehab, the junk won for 22 years, found my place in the world now, 3 yrs clean. Amazing
Over 20 years active addict. Clean 4 years now.
Great job! I know it isn't easy but recovery is better than prison or overdosing!
Glad you're all still here
Yes sir we do Recover I got 6plus
@@patrickmuldoon3592 that is awesome! Keep on going in a positive direction bc not everybody makes it or has the balls or will to change so kudos to you! Respect and best wishes! You can do this!
I spent the 90's with a needle in my arm, listening nirvana and Alice in chains, now I'm 15 years sober and I have a beautiful daughter. Thank you God! Rest in peace Layne.
That's fucken AMAZING!!! 15 Years wow!!! Some never see a year. So proud.....even if I don't know you
That's awesome man!
You’re an inspiration to us all!
Brilliant mate nice one
Im still fightin the good fight now against fet n dope... Got app at rehab 2m. Had a dream my ex who overdosed n died was wit me n all we did was hug. Sucks havin no one to share that wit it really fucked me up like she knows wat im goin thru
The melancholy tone of the song, the history of Layne, the fact this was in '96... all this makes me yearn for things that we can't get back. It might be crazy but I really miss the pre Internet/ cell phone days. We lost so much when everyone became connected.
Was just thinking the same thing
I agree.
Everyone misses that Society is kind of ruined
Your impression struck a chord.
I partly see it, but I think a lot of these hurt souls were hurt exactly because they were born in the 90s. Where mental health was a stigma, no one could be barely comfortable being themselves to the point they had to rebel against others and against themselves and their health. Maybe if born a years later they'd have outlets and healthier expressions
I don't think I've listened to a song where the bassline complements the chords so beautifully. Simple but packs such a punch.
This song hits differently when you've been battling depression, by yourself. One love everyone
💯
One love man
Much love !
I feel your pain bud....it hurts more than just us
How are you now mate??
As a Marine coming home from Iraq in 2004 and having my family fall apart almost immediately, I listened to this song and the rest of their unplugged set every day alone in my apartment as I rebuilt my life from scratch. This song SAVED MY LIFE. It reminded me of what true beauty could be if I kept fighting and never gave up. Thank you Layne and thank you AIC. Thank you dearly. And to anyone reading this who's fighting demons of any kind, keep fighting the good fight, keep hanging on. It will not always be this way. Don't let this world harden your heart, believe in yourself and above all, live with love and humility ALWAYS. S/F.
Thanks for those words bro. Hope all is well sir.
@@KroD313 Thank you. All is indeed well. Life is beautiful isn't it?!
@@thewarriorsgarden-83 Not mine I'm a suicidal depressed fuck up bro. And being fat and ugly doesn't help either. But life moved on with or without me.
@@thewarriorsgarden-83 Thank you for your service sir. True hero
Thank you very much, however I'm no hero, but I was lucky enough to know and stand beside many. And I've fucked things up way more than I've ever won. It's not how many times we fall, but how many times we've stood back up. I was depressed and suicidal after the war and after loosing my family and gained almost 80 pounds in a year or so. Now I manage a chain of gyms and am in better shape than when I was in the military. The story of your life is not written in your failures, for in failing there are lessons to learn but only if you keep your heart open. It's not easy but it is worth it. Train yourself to look for and find the good in any situation. The thing itself is not bad, only our perception of the thing, once we are able to stand back and look from different perspectives we will realize the power to change the thing, obesity, depression, whatever it may be, exists inside of us. Everything you need to succeed and be happy is already inside you. I know it sounds corny but I swear it's the truth. Infinite potential exists within all of us. This is why it's so important to believe in yourself. Others will quit on you. It's just part of life. But you must never quit on yourself.
I really needed to hear this tonight. Things are so bad in my life right now. Never been so fucking depressed. Miss you Layne. You remind me of better days.
I’m so sorry you’re going through a hard time. I’m sending you all the strength and courage that you need to get you through. Don’t give up you deserve to be in this world.
@@RubyPeri thank you for those kind words
@@Thatcarspotterguy you know how they say take it day by day? If necessary, take it second by second. Because sometimes a whole day can seem like it’s eons away. Give yourself grace and be compassionate towards yourself. Always remember that no one will love you like you love you.
Hang in there garrylee!
Hang in there man! I went thru a split up 5 years ago and everything I thought I knew I had to relearn basically. I even had a few guns in my mouth several times and the sad thing was that it was comfortable. The only thing I can think of is God but not sure why yet. I know deep down I'm a good person but I have a hell of a hard shell to crack thru for the next person(pity them). I wish you all the luck
Kudos to the producer that got this performance down. One of the most haunting moments in Grunge.
That is one of the most beautiful bass tones I’ve ever heard
Yes, and the slide during the 1st verse is sublime.
Yes
Yes Yes YES!
oh boy when mike comes in, picks the bass and play turururudumdum OH BOY
The greatest
Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside while still alive.
damn
fucking truth, hurts
so true
When we lose a loved one it is hard but when you watch that loved one die before death it is hard...how can I help?...what should I do?...help?....
Love to all that are looking for help....I know no words will help...
That's deep but so true
"If I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead." It hits DEEP, I don' know but the moment after the line, there's something in me that needed it.
This song hits hard. We all face the battles alone. We keep fighting every day in the hope of someone loving us for who we are.
So true !
Well said
💜🖤💜
But if I cant be my own Id feel better dead..
Man that bassline is so beautiful and clean with a hint of darkness which is fitting
damn right.. intro with the bass start, perfect sound
Exactly what i was thinking, that baseline is perfect!
I was thinking the same thing
Best bassline is on the beginning if "Would?"
So powerful
I will talk about that perfect bass line
Talk to me Indo
Bass ITS GREAT
this is what my musician friends first noticed. everyone immediately was like wtf how does that acoustic bass sound so fucking good. haha. one of the best performances of all time
puar junkhead and would from the singles release party is legitimately one of the best performances ever caught on camera and laynes voice is so ridiculously good I don’t know how to describe it.
@@FriendOfN0ne absolutely. They typically don't. I think they're running his through a defretter pedal to get that sound.
22 years ago today we lost this beautiful soul. I miss Layne.
Lost my heart and soul of 39 yrs last Sunday and NEEDED this song. I just wish I had the capability to have given you a portion of the love you unconditionslly gave to me. You deserved so much better. And I will live with that regret eternally. I Love You Rita.
Me too n I'm 39 now .. I feel ur pain.. but I'm trying to get though it.. I died 3 times this past year..
This is the best sounding bass tone that ever existed.
I agree completely
I watched it again after I read this and you’re right, it’s ridiculous.
Totally. The best.
I just told my wife as this sing was playing, "I want to look up the tableture for this song.". I wanna learn it. This whole album has bass lines like this.
And that’s when I went out and bought a bass.
8 years clean as of yesterday. I made it.
Keep it up man! Not many can say they've done this. One of a kind.
3 years off meth and bars
So good to hear bro. Hope u never fall into those pits of hell again
Congrats bro
God bless you guys. Keep it up!
0:45 I love how you can visually see him trying to hide the smile from the loud crowd cheers as he comes out. You can tell he loved that moment. God rest his soul
the closest anyone has come to singing at their own funeral. just so haunting and such an amazing performance
The funeral is meaningless when the soul has long gone.
Yeah he lived another 6 years after this though if you can call it that. Nirvana's unplugged was actually much closer to Kurt playing his own funeral.
I'm a simple man, They playin' nutshell, I'm cryin'
ua-cam.com/video/UIvp6qWp4ko/v-deo.html
Thought you were dead, homie.
I miss you Patrick
Glad it isnt just me. Seen enough of this World to know it isnt my home. They can play this at my funeral. Heroin is a cruel mistress indeed.
My god,is that u Patrick?
Anyone else think Alice In Chains is the best Unplugged performance ever aired?
Yep..One of the best bands of the nineties my man.
Without doubt..ambience ..sound quality and you can tell the band are glad to be playing again..
Nirvana unplugged was also legendary tho
One of the best, they had some other really good ones like Queensryche
Alice in Chains, Nirvana and Pearl Jam hands down the best performances. Oh and Fleetwood Mac🤤
I've said it and i'm gonna say it again. this is the most powerful live performance I've ever heard. Pure emotion from Layne, and that bass tone is so tasty
He just steps on stage sits down and makes magic.
Four chords, Em7, G, D, Cadd9 and two paragraphs of lyrics. More emotion than anything you could ever compare it to.
And half step down tune to
Love this acoustic set but this one song could really use that electric lead….so sweet
@@chrisg5107 I have to agree there. Cantrell's lead is so haunting
@@whoohaaXL
The acoustic version is nice too. I guess it’s good to have both. 👍
I mean moonlight sonata by a sir Ludwig Van Beethoven has more emotion and ZERO words. But yes I agree this song is a damn masterpiece. I should say it will live as long as mr Beethoven’s music.
Layne Stayley, Scott Weiland, Chris Cornell, Kurt Cobain, we miss you guys, man.
A lineup of remarkable and timeless singers,to be blessed with a vocal instrument that these guys had.What a great time to be alive back then.
Don't forget Chester ❤
America really is pathetic in preventing and treating drug abuse. None of these guys should’ve even had the option to start in heroin
I don't miss Scott Weiland or Chester but I miss the late great Mister Mark Lanegan my goat, Andrew Wood and Ian curtis even though ian died a year before I was born. Damn it
@@trentbateman thats a really great idea... we'll just make it illegal so they'll stop.... 🤦🏻♂️
This song gives depression to depression.
So powerful and so sad.
R.I.P. Layne And Mike ✝️
The worst feeling of being alone is when you're alone in a crowd. RIP Layne
@Chris blessings to you Chris. I hope someday soon you will be able to go outside...
Such a true statement to the core😭
Yes 💔
Not many can understand that statement.
Its both the same. Lying to yourself is worse.
People in this crowd are literally the luckiest humans on the Earth.
He was so high that he didn't know where he was
The crowd had no idea how truly blessed they were, until Layne was no longer here 😞
Have you heard the story of this? This dude was so fucked up he begged not to preform. He went out there and fucking killed it, this man is a fucking legend
Not true
They sure were! This is the best Unplugged I've heard. So deep, emotional...and beautiful. Considering the backstory behind it (online as well for those who aren't familiar) they came so close to "was it going to happen?" and they did an unbelievably amazing performance without many rehearsals! Its not the same without Layne. He was such an integral part of the band! I can't listen to them anymore. I miss those days...
The greatest unplugged performance of all time. Layne is the best singer ever.
Seeing this, im fighting back tears. Im 38 years old. Fucked my life up early, dope, prison, living crazy. Im clean and sober now, dont break any laws, live the straight and narrow. But ive never been more depressed than I am now. Thinking back is so painful because of such a sharp contrast. So sharp it's like two different people. Anyways, I love AIC, Layne was a bad ass man. RIP. It's also depressing seeing this once great country be flushed down the tubes. It's heartbreaking what we have let these people do to our country. While we just sit here and do absolutely nothing. We deserve everything we get for that...
Keep doing the right things brother. Use your shortcomings as lessons. Everyone’s screwed up at some point. All you can do is look ahead and focus on your future. You only get one life, don’t spend the rest of it dwindling on past mistakes.
So badass how Layne walks in, sits down and immediately starts singing.
I get choked up every single time when he makes his way to the stage and the entire crowd just erupts.
In reality that took five odd takes , he was fucked by then the smack had ripped him apart .
I thought the exact same!! Just sits down and is on point instantly
Indeed. I thought the same thing.
@@HEYitzED YES. Goosebumps on arms. Tears in eyes.
This guy was a living cadaver back then, he came out from nowhere, hiding needle scars and dead eyes, sat down, and sang the crap out of it with such control and sweetness in his voice. This moment was out of this world. Just magical
Just like how kurt cobain was also going through tuff stuff as well, both of em suffering through shit but still putting on 2 of the greatest live acoustic performances of all time
Kurt wasnt messed up like Layne for the unplugged
@@mikepeverelli7472 not on the exact level but he was suffering from heroin withdrawal and alot of mental issues with Courtney love that led to his suicide months later
@danielchristie2519 yeeeeeeeaaaaah I don't think Kurt killed himself but hey... Who cares now... Layne is dead, Kurt is dead, the important is : drug leads to f*cking tragedies.
I know. The unplugged show really felt like Layne coming out to sing at what he knew would be his eventual funeral. The candles. The vibe. The sound. He did this all for a reason.
This is my opinion....The most POWERFUL MTV Unplugged song ever! So sorry the pain he was in and for others who have the same pain. My love and prayers!
During this day (April 5) it hurts even more...Layne ❤
You don't get out of the car until this song is over.
So true
Then I never get out of the car....cuz it’s on repeat...😔
@@motoxrider450 Better get comfy in there
This band is very seldom played in Germany, I am 26 years old and heard alice in chains for the first time 2 weeks ago, although they are so well known.🤷♂️
But really a beautyful song!
@@elgringo2852 welcome to the fanbase brother, you're never too late. I recommend this entire set of unplugged songs if you haven't heard it, absolutely mind blowingly good. Also nirvana's unplugged set as well, also incredible.
The bass in this song is impeccable.
Perfect tone as well to set the mood
It's absolutely sublime. RIP to both of them
@@liamshellcock2231 Mike Inez is sill alive 👀
@@liamshellcock2231 mike starr died not him 😆
Yeah it is simple but really good. The guitar is nice, but the bass is very important for this
A tradition i started to make a while ago it's to watch both Nirvana and Alice in Chains unplugged on April 5 every year
I’m gonna start that to except just AIC
@@jacobcamp5108 I'm glad you are!
The way he drops the tone of his voice at 2:46 expressed so much emotion.
thats layne staley the goat
he died alone, faminshed and 80 lbs. this song was his most honest. a cry for help. fight addiction any way you can. this was a journal entry. don't let it be yours.
Go watch Man in a Box knowing what happened in the end.
How to bring a grown man to tears.
I can't listen to this without thinking of everyone that's gone. Mom and Dad, my 17 year old son, Layne and everyone else.
I'll see you again.
It's okay and my condolences.. that's the power of Layne Staley.
Layne has that effect on those that truly loved and appreciated him in all his broken, beautiful glory. Sending you much love for the grief of your losses.
you will.
I'm sorry for your loss. A father of three, I just can't imagine.
Stay alive, stay loving, stay strong brother. I wish and pray you much love. It sucks, but it's ok to fight this battle with your chest high. Stay strong my friend, don't ever commit suicide. Don't ever do it while your down. People love you
When I'm in times of depression this song really gets to me. I can just listen to it all day.
If I can't be my own, I'd fell better dead. Those words resonated in 1993, still do in 2024.
This performance to me has always felt like layne saying goodbye. Truely heartbreaking
@sappyx kurt coabin and layne were both struggling man): herion is one of an drug
So true...
But he was alive till 2002?
@@fozianizamuddin6074 yeah but he isolated himself for years and wouldn't see anyone until his death.
He was dying...and they all knew. It broke my heart....he was such an inspiration to me. Chris Cornell too.
The bass in this song is absolutely incredible... actually everyone is flawless....what a performance
Fuckin A! It sounds killer!
@@jordanbuckner1023 right?!
Those slides and weird overtones just add so much to the song. Mike Inez is great with an acoustic!
@@gasmaskboi19371945 deff the slides that do it, perfect placements and timing, simple but effective!
I second that. Great accoustic rendition
I keep playing this song while driving home from work. Rest easy Staley
It's almost as if he knew his own fate.There's a sadness in his voice that will never be replicated
I heard someone say it was like singing at your own funeral.
he did ! all of us addicts do ! some are just in denial , we only have 3 choices , locked up , sober up , or covered up ! why do we still do it to ourselves ? That i dont know ! ive lost my wife kids home , everything and only thing i thinking about is how to get my next fix sad , pathetic anyway ya want to look at it. i hate this saying but, it is what it is !
@@brianpinion5844 It is what you make it out to be. Please for the sake of your children, go to rehab. Don't just give up and accept whatever's coming. Your children and your family need you, I can promise you that. And sometimes there is such thing as being too late. You can do this, I'm rooting for you brother ❤️
He totally knew. Such a loss. Its a very tough fight (ive been down that path) with never ending pain for you and even more when you realize what you've done to everyone around you. Never give up.
U have many more choices my friends. Fresh air, healthy foods, water and exercise, always a good start. Ain’t easy but well worth it 🙏
In case you wanted the lyrics to sing along to!
"We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh"
How prophetic.
thanks dude
Gift of selfish rage not gift of rape
Poétic.
@@nermaldirtwater2832 No it's "gift of self is raped". He's referring to his identity and personality being metaphorically raped and dominated by addiction and suffering. Look up the lyrics if you don't believe me
This song connects the souls of so many strangers..Will always be one of the greatest ever. You just have to feel it within..
Funny how nearly 30 years later this song still hits home and takes so many people to one of the darkest points in their lives. Some things seem so mundane and petty compared to what others are going through but if you’re struggling, you’re struggling. Life goes on, things get better. God bless.
Layne comes out, sits down and belts out a performance most artists would end their night on.
So well put. Definitely one of the greats.
Sits down and goes to work. Pro
Well said... And so true man. What a great voice, it gives me the thrills event after soo Many years.
That's a gangsta walk!!
Um, did you see the nirvana unplugged, just like this one, they were writing music history and never knew it. #RipLayne #RipKurt #RipSeattleMusic
I just want to say congratulations to everyone in this comment section telling us they’ve been clean, sober, and on the right path for however long it may be. I’m proud of you, keep going and stay strong.
Granted I was only 14 when they did this but I was really surprised that they choose Alice in Chains to do an acoustic set but they just killed it. All of those songs sounded incredible and hearing the emotion in Layne's voice was beautiful.
He wasn't for this world, he was sent just for a while to grace us with his presence,to give us a glimpse of his magic. And then he went away, he went somewhere else to share his magic. Wherever you are Layne,you are loved.❤
My brother, age 26, died from the side effects of drug and alcohol addiction on October 8, 2020. The side effect was suicide in his case. He couldn't stop using. He wanted to stop. All the help was there. But he was too depressed to accept it. I am not mad at him for hanging himself. I'm an alcoholic as well, and I'm in active recovery; I'm 96 days clean and sober. I'll show my brother's 9 month old daughter (my beautiful niece) how much he loved her through always being there for her. That baby is mine now. She will not grow up without a father figure if I have anything to do about it.
"THE MOMENT YOU ADMIT YOU ARE HOPELESS, YOU BECOME AT THAT VERY MOMENT, NO LONGER HELPLESS." -Fr. Joseph C. Martin
Bless you my friend and your niece. Live a beautiful life.
I lost my brother to...Also my sister same story as you just know your not alone and never give up the fight you have to live for yourself and let your brothers daughter live for herself and find her own path .... took me a long time to realize that. I tried being the father figure to only find out its not my place ..... you gotta live your life man for u noone else but you
@@liljoe8667 I appreciate your story as well my friend. It sounds very much like you can relate to what my family and I are going through. I'll definitely keep that advice in mind, about raising my niece and all. I only want what's best for her. Thank you for telling me. Peace.
I wish you the strength and fortitude to go through the challenges. I am sure you will break through the chain and show your lovely niece how beautiful life can be. Wishing you the best of all.
Wish you all the best in life🙏🏻
Grunge in peace, Layne! Forever missed.
He's still with us if we keep his music alive!
Ben Elsmore i listen to Alice every day
i bleed alice in chains.
True
AiC arent really grunge but yeah Layne had an incredible voice.
I lost my brother to an OD and I remember watching this days before and I felt the fear. Anyone struggling with addiction, please reach out. Do not struggle alone. Chose your life. ❤️
Ahhh.. the bass. And Layne's vocals ❤. Soul melting performance.
Seeing Layne walk out and immediately sing “and yet I fight this battle alone...” is heart breaking.
We chase misprinted lines was the first thing he said but yea I feel you . On that bro .
Everytime I play this I start crying.
@@pumpkin28ful lies not lines
@MKULTRA same
I cannot watch this without crying
Layne died 19 years ago today; he was dying here and not only did he give one of the best performances of all time, he still gave a better performance than anybody today. RIP Layne you were one of the greatest singers to ever live, we miss you.
This whole show was heartbreaking. You can tell something is not right with Layne, his spirit and power isn't there. It gave some of the songs a more somber feeling, but I thought it was so scary to see and hear this back then.
When I first saw this, I thought Mike's guitar said "Friends don't let friends use". I kinda wish it did say that.
I made this exact comment almost a year ago and some random fan tried telling me me wasn’t dying cuz he lived six more years after this. Injecting heroin is dying and it got him.
This is so heartbreaking. Why are the greatest people burdened with such pain.
Most of the credit goes to Cornell and cobain, and they were GREAT voices, butt layne was THE BEST, and their unplugged performance was the BEST ONE EVER!!nirvanas was badass and so was pearl jams, but CHAINS unplugged WAS THE BEST HANDS DOWN! So awesome that of the top 5 ever unplugged sessions were bands from this era and scene, nirvana was 1 pearl jam was 3rd, CHAINS was 5th, they should have been first butt nonetheless, AWESOME😀
The bassist….just so good throughout this entire performance. Miss real musicians in this age of over-electronically edited music
Easily the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard
I’m really happy people are actively listening and commenting on this like it’s brand new
Here for my daily listen, seen them live back in September in seattle it was amazing
same i love this
That’s because it never gets old.
Because its so beautiful
Song is timeless
"Remember, that one time... when you had friends?
...that was great."
Im forever living in the 90's (when it comes to music) i will never leave!! Best decade ever!!! I was 12 in 1990 - 21 by the end of '99. It's crazy how the music can take you back!!
The worst pain in the world is being around a lot of people n feeling alone
That's how living in Los Angeles is for me. I need to get the hell out of here.
Damn, that struck a chord. It is quite a bad feeling, but hearing someone else acknowledge the sentiment feels somewhat comforting... Thanks, Danny.
@Nathan Foster I'm sorry you feel that way, Nathan. Are drugs a reason why you now have limited social interaction? If so, there's likely at least one other option where you're neither dead nor alone. Give this stranger a shout if you need to chat it out bro. Good luck and much love.
Read Charles Bukowskis view on being alone. Itll give you a new perspective.
feeling alone or totally out of place or both!
Growing up in Jersey we only listened to hip-hop. My boy (white) put me up on AIC never knew y'all had so much pain in y'all music going thru the same things we go thru in the inner city, addiction, alcoholism, suicides, poverty and death around the corner. This song brought me to tears when I first heard it. I live in a better neighborhood now and my neighbor played this while cutting his grass. Brought back that feeling!! Black, white, red or yellow stay strong and love your fellow man!!!
Amen brother. We all go thru the same struggles just trying to make a living a be happy. Stay safe out there. 🙏
So be it!
Hard times dont discriminate.
Beautiful message. xxoo
Yessss!! Amen
41 years old and this song still gives me goosebumps and gets my eyes watering. I was in college when he passed and I still get all the feels when I listen to their music.
I'm not on drugs. I work hard as he'll to stay up and this song grabs the shit out of me. GOD REST HIS SOUL. You can't understand this if you haven't lived a little
it's not just the lyrics, it's Layne's haunting voice, it's Mike's deep bass, Sean's cracking drums, and Jerry's amazing guitar that pulls at your heartstrings.
It's the TOTALITY of the song that makes it so amazing and timeless. It can apply to any situation not just drug abuse. Everyone faces the path of time, and lies, and at some point we all fight our battles alone.❤️
your a fucking poet ♥️♥️♥️
Not “just” drug abuse..?..how magnanimous from a crack head= its not “ just” about him…?
@@anthonybradshaw1545 it’s ‘you’re ‘…
Oh, well holler gee..is that what I said..?
Yeah..don’t understand why Alice didn’t just eliminate the storyline…?
Nutshell is more than just a good song...It breaks your heart..at the same time it gives the power to hold on
so true
Well said
AMEN!!
Yep
yes sir. right on. epic
My opinion this is the best unplugged from that era
The heartfelt power & emotion of the lyrics/instrumental grabs ya by the SOUL...
The bass tone in this song is absolute perfection
Agreed!
Mike starr was the best bassist in grunge history in my book
@@jamiemccollister5648 Its a shame he gets forgotten about whenever people talk about 90 bassists. Mike was awesome. Great stage presence and was also a really good looking guy before all the drugs..
Hope he found peace
Whole song is perfect!!
This song and an acoustic bass was the same thing for me back in the day when I found this song out. Been 7 years and still my favorite song ever
How Layne just walks out, soul already dead but body still alive, and belts this song out perfectly just shows the talent he had. Layne functioning at 25% if that is far better than most vocalists today at 100%. Truly a hauntingly beautiful performance that goes down in the books as one of the greatest of all time.
Jim Morrison would be proud, oh wait he is now partying like hell, heaven beside them
You’ve got that backwards, his soul is very much alive, it’s his body that’s cooked out but he still had a great voice for someone in that physical condition.
spot on
Sad af but glorious
Man put his soul in his voice
Everry time I hear this song, I cry a little ......"No one to cry to, no place to call home". It breaks my heart that Layne's dad betrayed him :(
No autotune, no pitch correctors, one take for all... pure talent. Respect Layne !!
The sound engineer made one hell of a job on this unplugged
So true
Get the lad a case of beer.
Best bass tone ever on an mtv unplugged.
@@humanbass seriously the bass sounds so good on this whole set.
@@humanbass when I heard that first chord, my ears had an orgasm. I’m a musician and even I was thinkin “holy fuck, we’re in for a show”...
"if I can't be my own, id feel better dead" might be the most powerful line in lyrical history.
Verdade universal!
Easy now.
"And yet I fight, and yet I fight this battle all alone. No one to cry to, no place to call home". Shit hits home for me

These comments mean the world to the Angel who wrote this! Took me so many times and a lot of determination to get well and stay well! It's not the times you fell it's all about The Time you get back up and stay on your feet! Blessed you and God and Layne love you ❣️❤️
Layne walks up to mic and gives the best vocal performance of all time. Goosebumps every time
Flawless timing from walking up to the mic to starting to sing
He just sits down and 2 seconds later just starts singing … the best performance. He went to the mic and boom
My thoughts as well
Literally just walks up and does it. 10/10
I hope ur doing alright, my man
Rest in peace, Layne Staley. 21 years ago today. I have been clean from heroin for six years as of this past February. (2-9-17) I've lost so many friends and family members to overdose, including both of my parents 😔. Opiate addiction is a beast, but it's not impossible to get clean.
GREAT job at being clean from heroin. I'm sure life is much better for you. Stay strong like you have been
Good on you. Hang in there. Live is lived not endured.
Belo comentário 👏👏👏
Very proud of your commitment. Sending you the best vibe to keep it up.
I feel you sis ❤
This music will live on forever while the trash that is released nowadays becomes forgotten within a week. Yes there is still amazing music being made it just doesn't get the air time it deserves.
Still the greatest song ever written to me. Jar of flies greatest album ever. Can't believe 30 years. Real music never dies. Layne Thomas Staley love n miss you. Thanks for everything
"if a man could sing at his own funeral" ........Shit still gives me chills !!
They performed this on April 10th, 1996. 27 years later, I have no words when I watch and listen to his amazing voice. You are not human if this doesn't give you chills or bring a tear to your eyes. Rest in Peace Layne.
I cry... I can't help it.
Да, только он в аду, куда и мы скоро отправимся
I was 4 year's old when this come out
I remember when this came out, I was 19 years old and got chills but now, it hits me even deeper 💜 wish I could go back to this moment, wish he was here.
Your idea of a beautiful, human and amazing musical artist is just that. It's "Yours." Although, it's narcissistic to judge a world of humans based solely on your love, your need and your opinions. Yes, he was talented. A talented individual who had everything a young wanna-be artist dreams of, accept the will and strength to "Live." He is the last individual I would want my children to aspire to be. I'm not taking away anything from this young man, or disrespecting his life, or achievements in any way. He did all the damage upon himself by taking his own life and giving up.
Every time I listen to this song I get an incredible feeling. I feel Layne’s sadness and pain and at the same time some feeling of calm and peace. Truly a brilliant song.
There will never be a time as culturally as significant as the 1990’s in the U.S.A. This song, this album, this band examplifies that. It was a perfect storm of music, culture and fashion. There will never be another time of this significance in this country. Ever
I yearn for that era so badly. When times were simpler, too. I'm 42 now but sometimes feel it was yesterday, that I could go back and it's right there.😞
