    Jerry's extra hair flipping always cracks me up. Layne is so nonchalant, just has to stand there and sing his heart out. Mike is having the time of his life. Sean's groove is amazing.
    What a time to be alive.

      Saw and met them in Nashville In Sept 92 I believe it was at the Starwood Ampitheater. Hund out with Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon for about 20 mins too. My girlfriend ran all the Emergency Medical Services at Starwood. Also met STP during their Core Tour, Smashing Pumpkins, as well as some others. Sean Kinney was crazy, he farted on the side of Staleys face with his shorts, boxers and all pulled down. Staley was napping on a couch. myself and Shannon were standing at the door to their dressing room, and he elbowed me and pointed their way right before Sean did it. It was FUNNY AS HELL!! Starr grabbed some Tissue out of the bathroom and wiped Laynes face like it was a butt...had to be there

Cantrell's simple yet effective riffs that perfectly accentuates the level of brilliance in Staley's tortured delivery. The rhythm Section is awesome aswell. You gotta love Mike Starr RIP, and Sean Kinney.

  • @con1035

    AIC in the early 90's probably sounded better live than in the studio, and that says alot considering how fuckin great the material they put out was. The thing I love about Layne is that he's so entertaining to watch for some reason, yet all he does is stand there. Man would I kill to see this line up live just once...

    • @vadacampbell5647
      @vadacampbell5647 8 років тому +4

    After years past and the overhype of the teenage spirit, one can really hear the true Seattle sound of grunge in its most beastly beauty. Alice in Chains outlasted Nirvana and other bands in sound and commitment to its style with each passing vinyl. Nirvana is great, but AIC is truly legendary and epic.

      Hardly 4 octave, that's Sebastian Bach organ Rob Halford. Lane was an excellent singer but never sang that high.

    • @RexytheRexy
      @RexytheRexy 9 місяців тому

      His vocal range, in terms of the notes he hit that are documented, was F#2-A5 (1.5 tones under three and a half octaves). I'd bet he could manage another full note, taking him up to B5, but four is a major stretch.
      Most female vocalists can't hit an F#6, which is higher than the operatic soprano holy grail note. For an idea of how high an F#6 truly is, listen to "Gett Off" by Prince.
      It doesn't matter, at the end of the day, what his range was - it has very little to do with how truly gifted a singer is.
      As an example, Nina Simone is one of the greatest vocalists to ever walk the earth, and hers was a note under three octaves (G#2-F#5).

      This fucking band had it ALL in this moment in time. That insane badass, irreplaceable voice of Layne that could shatter walls, Jerry's face melting riffs, Mike Starr ripping that bass to shreds and Sean drumming up a storm.... not to mention 4 cool looking motherfuckers with stage presence.... a fucking goddamn shame they were so short lived.

      Absolutely.
      "Angry Chair" shows he can easily match Chris Cornell, the vocalist who people compare his talent to most often. I've never heard anyone with more thunder in his chest or sweetness in his falsetto, and to this day, no one can cover "Man in the Box".
      His vocal technique is virtually impossible, and paired with the pure, raw emotion and his honestly ridiculous beauty... no one will ever match him.
