"I'd like to fly, but my wings have been so denied". Damned powerful.
I always thought the line was "but my wings have been sewn in ice" lol
Jerry has written some of the most powerful and relatable lyrics ever
@@willl84 OMG that's so funny, I thought he said My wings are bent so denied.
Also I'm the man in the box
MAN IN THE BOXXXX
One thing about Jerry smiling after Layne hitting that first high note.. Laney was at a really bad state at this unplugged moment. Their live performances were kinda rare due to Layne's conditions (this unplugged was one of their last performances together), so there was kinda an uncertainty if Layne would be able to perform well on that night.
But when it comes to a legendary singer, we know they may surprise us for sure. It's visible he was weakened and seemed deceased on this (if you watch a more healthy version of him, you'll notice the difference on the power of his voice). But yet, even in that bad shape he was, he was able to reproduce a very haunting and beautiful performance.
So that's why Jerry gave that smile and looked to the other band members saying like "see? I told you guys he would get this."
yep.. a dead man existing is what ur seein here.. its fucked up to be that depressed.. i watched these videos in my darkest days alone homeless in my truck in the midnight hours.. looking out my window.. being on drugs is one thing.. but beeing depressed on top of them is a disaster.. i used to do meth and shoot up heroin.. my 2 go to drugs on a daily basis for 2 years alone in a truck with my puppy dog that hated me so i let her out and she disappeared while i went to sleep and gave up on life.. anyways yeah its a sad fucked up concert seein a dyin man push on a ticking time bomb of self destruction
Thank you for that! I’m a big AIC fan and never picked up on that before. 👍😍
From a man that was there for the better part of a decade, Layne's performance in the throws of addiction is nothing short of incredible. I can only imagine where the band would have gone had Layne been able to break the grip. May God bless him, one of the most talented vocalists of a generation.
Well said. Jerry seems almost protective, and it's heartwarming.
You can hear he's missing a few teeth by this time but it still sounds so good
It is so amazing to me that Layne died before UA-cam was even created. Never in his wildest dreams could he have predicted so many people would be watching his videos on demand on this type of platform. And he certainly couldn’t have predicted people would be watching other people react to his videos and having a discussions about him. What a crazy world!
This song hits so hard in the feelings when you take in the fact that at this point he was struggling so much with depression and harddrug addiction which in the end took his life
This is Jerry’s song, it did become more and more relatable for what Layne was going through as time passed so when it was performed for unplugged it had extra weight added to an already heavy song. Anyway Jerry has written so many all time great lyrics imo, guy never misses.
@@danielbagby4149 I mean 6 years isn’t that close together.
It was Jerrys song but it went his song.. so sad...
@@puppetmaster8551 - Hey! Ya he definitely made it his own during this performance didn’t he? He always had a way to communicate a certain vibe with songs written by Jerry- but man, this was like ‘the big realization’ - just a soul punch.
@@puppetmaster8551
It just took him that long to die. This was near the end of his public life. He holed up in an apartment for years, withering away. They hadn’t been performing for years before this performance, because of Layne’s drug use and sickness. They didn’t perform much after this either. That’s why this performance is so special. It almost didn’t happen, and they were concerned that Layne wouldn’t be able to perform at a high level. That’s why Jerry smiled and winked when Layne hit that first long note. He insisted that Layne would be able to do it, and the wink was a, “I told you he’s still got it.”
The entire Alice in Chains Unplugged album is amazing.
oh hell yeah
The smile from the guitarist Jerry when Layne hits his high notes is my favourite part too... I think it's fair to say they were all apprehensive about Layne's mental and physical condition going into this show, and despite how ill he clearly was, he absolutely nailed it.
🤦♂️
2:50 As a bassist, thaaaaaaaaaaank you. It's rare for that instrument to really get recognized by people who don't play music.
That was mike Inez ,starr left the band in 1993
@@kevenrowe2958 You're absolutely right. I can't believe I spaced that.....
This is Inez, way way better bassist and songwriter than Starr. This bassline was likely written by Jerry tho.
There's loads of fantastic bassists, but for me, the entire Unplugged set AIC did had the best pure bass tone I've ever listened to AND was placed at the perfect level in the mix. Great bassist, great tone, plus great mix = absolute perfection. Usually at least one of those elements will be notably weaker than the others, but not here.
I always loved the Bass tone from AIC very ominous although this was not the original Bass player I am pretty sure he was kicked out for his drug problems and he died some years after Layne did I think he was the last person to see Layne alive.
The lead singer’s name is Layne Staley. He is my favorite vocalist of all time and he sounds great here. But he is half the vocalist here than he was in his prime. He was deep in heroin addiction at this point.
This wasn’t his prime. This was actually the last live performance by Layne. He was so wasted during this performance they had to have a stage hand adjust him on his stool during breaks so he wouldn’t slip off. It is a huge loss and Layne following this became a hermit and barely went out in public. Jerry and Layne together were superb song writers produced such great music together.
@@roycemainville1744 I said he wasn’t in his prime.
@@roycemainville1744 this wasn’t his last performance they did 4 more shows after this touring to support tripod until Layne overdosed after I think the KC show and they dropped out of the tour and never played a show with Layne again
These comments are a mess🙂
They were live on a couple of shows as well, Leno and Letterman I believe, promo for the album. Those 4 shows you mentioned were supporting Kiss
Love Hate Love, live at the Moore Theater, a performance earlier in the band's history, is something you must see! Layne was healthier then. The song is heavy w emotion and you will see that Layne sings with his whole body and soul!
Love Hate Love live at.the Moore incredible his voice is to singing what Lamborghini is to cars
A must watch!!
It hurts to say but the lead singer Layne Staley the one with the pink hair died of a heroin overdose April 5th 2002, he was found by his Mother 2 weeks later in his condo on Lake Washington he was 34. We here in Seattle still grieve for him. If you like the softer side MTV Unplugged is perfect, other songs are (Nutshell) (Got Me Wrong) and (Would?) but if you want to see this group at their prime when Layne Staley, the lead singer was young and healthy, check out Alice in Chains live at The Moore Theater. My personal favorite from this concert is(It Ain't Like that Anymore) Other songs they performed are, Man in the Box, Sea of Sorrow, The Real Thing, Bleed the Freak, and Love Hate Love. keep in mind this concert is more hard rock, and absolutely amazing. RIP Layne.
Guitarist Jerry Cantrell wrote this about the love of his life, Courtney Clarke. This song encompasses all of the insecurities and self-doubt inherent in a relationship.
It's such a tragedy that Layne and many more have lost their lives to this horrible drug. RIP Layne and Mike.
Jerry Cantrell is the best songwriter ever in my book. Just a masterful performance from the best unplugged show. Jerry and Layne truly had special chemistry and were a once in a lifetime pairing, so sad it was so short lived because Layne wasn’t able to overcome is demons. Anyway RIP Layne, the body of work they put out in a short time in the 90s was legendary. Really nobody out there compares for me to the emotion Jerry and Layne were able to put into their lyrics and music, so damn relatable.lastly the band is still fantastic, their black gives way to blue record is phenomenal.
Jerry is fantastic but there a ton of absolutely great written songs by Layne with AIC plus what he wrote with Mad season showed he could write like that away from Jerry.
@@texthit there are literally 3 songs from facelift to tripod that Jerry isn’t credited on, so there is not “a ton” of fantastic songs that Layne and the other guys wrote, there is on the other hand a ton of songs where Jerry was the only songwriter or primary songwriter. I think mad season is a better example of Layne’s writing but I also think it’s not even close to stuff like dirt or jar of flies. Layne was a quality songwriter and great singer/lyricist but Jerry is on a totally different level as a songwriter. Layne is my favorite singer too Cantrell is just one of the best songwriters to ever
if you like jerry's lyrics then chris cornell will "wire you awake and hit you with a hand of broken nails!"
@@fataaron285 love Chris and he was a great lyrics, definitely prefer Jerry tho, I’ll take Jerry over anyone
I couldn't agree more. One of the best duo's ever. Jerry in my opinion is one of the best lyricists of his generation.
In this unplugged when they play Sludge Factory, Layne Staley, (the vocalist) was so high that he gets confused by the lyrics and stops. but he recovers and launches one of the performances that I liked the most in all the history of MTV unplugged
I have read from several articles that the reason for Layne’s flubbing of the lyrics, was due to the people he wrote them about sitting in the front row. Namely, the record label execs who had called the studio to let the band know they had nine days to finish the album. So apparently it ended up being ultra-awkward for Layne to sing those lines with them sitting right there. Although, I also read he did just a little bit of H before going onstage to avoid suffering withdrawals.
Please react to Nutshell by Alice In Chains. Good reaction
Jerry Cantrell was smiling because he knew Layne Staley was on point! That didnt always happen. It wasnt abnormal for Layne to get strung out on Heroin. If you look closely, Layne was wearing gloves and a long sleeve shirt to hide his track Marks. R.I.P Layne Staley.
AIC was and will remain my favorite band of all time. The perfect mix of God given talent coming together at the perfect time
It was truly an amazing performance
Hey Miss Biss you were right about what the song is about it's about addiction and hitting rock bottom.his tolerance with heroin was so high that anyone else would have. O.d',ed. His would have 3 people. Amazing first reaction 👏😁❤😊
Hits soooo much harder when you realise the pain the band was going through with his addiction. Great reaction x
Everyone loves Layne! He is a legend in the grunge field of music. No one will ever be like Layne, no one. Kinda like no one will ever be like Steve Perry of Journey. No one can imitate either one of these guys. You need to do Man in the Box live at the Moore theater in Seattle 1990!
No one will be like Chris Cornell
Steve Perry and Layne Staley - my two favorite male singers.
This performance makes me teary eye just because I've dealt with depression and addiction in my life. Layne bares his soul here
This is one of the best performances IMHO.. that opening line.. “down in a hole and I don’t know if I can be saved”
It is ❤️
This song is a love song from guitarist Jerry Cantrell to the love of his life Courtney Clarke. Early pressings listed this as the 12th track in the album. Later pressings listed this as the 4th track supposedly to fit better with the band’s desire to have the album loosely tell a story from song to song.
Songwriter and guitarist Jerry Cantrell said of the song in the Music Bank box set liner notes, “Down in a Hole’s in my top three, personally. It’s to my long-time love. It’s the reality of my life, the path I’ve chosen and in a weird way it kind of foretold where we are right now. It’s hard for us to both understand…that this life is not conducive to much success with long-term relationships."
Once Layne got his voice where he wanted it, it stayed there with little effort. He was always better live than studio version. Layne's vocal range can run rings around any other grunge singer in my opinion. Layne could sing the phone book and never hit a wrong note. Even at the end of his life, with no teeth and a lisp, his voice, wit and humor were all still there. Layne's voice and vocal range was so powerful he did NOT need auto tune or pro-tools until he lost his teeth and had a lisp around 1998, and even then he still killed the vocals.
Barrett Martin (who played with Layne in Mad Season) said that when he stood to the side of the stage, he could hear the sound of Layne's vocal resonance come out of Layne's body LOUDER than it did coming out of the speakers, Layne's voice was that powerful.
Layne's story is more tragic and haunting because you can actually watch and hear him deteriorate over the 12 year span: from the mild use of drugs in 1990 all the way through 1996 when he was deep into a heroin addiction to dropping to 90 pounds by 1998 to 86 pounds when he died in 2002.
Layne was so much more than his drug addiction. He was able to come up with lyrics and harmonies off the top of his head. He knew enough to know that Jerry Cantrell was playing with the wrong people and gave him contact info for Sean Kinney and Mike Starr. He wrote the lyrics for the songs he sang on Mad Season's Above album and drew the cover art for that album. Layne was a genius in his own right. He still was able to figure things out in a snap off the top of his head. Layne just had his demons.
With MTV Unplugged, when Layne finally gave the Okay to do it. They were supposed to rehearse in Seattle but NO one showed up. Sean, Mike and Jerry would show up at different times but Layne would be MIA or Layne would show up for one or two songs and then leave. When they finally got to New York, Sean and Mike had an argument with Jerry because they thought with Layne's condition and addiction, he wouldn't be able to hit the high notes. Jerry was the ONLY ONE who was confident that Layne could do it. When you watch DOWN IN A HOLE Unplugged, and Layne hits that high note, you see Jerry look over at Sean and Mike with this "I TOLD YOU SO!" smirk. Layne did it again on ROOSTER Unplugged and Jerry did that same smirk.
The Unplugged show in 1996 is so heartbreaking to watch because Layne was deep in his heroin addiction (and yes, I know he was doing other drugs on top of Heroin). His liver was damaged and he knew it. He was just high enough to do the show to fight off withdrawal symptoms and he didn't get dope sick. He was such a ghost of himself during Unplugged. (Of course, Jerry had food poisoning) All Jerry saw when he looked over at Layne was his best friend was going to die soon due to the path Layne had chosen for his life. That show was filmed in April, 1996, premiered in May 1996. They did four shows with KISS in June-July 1996, after which Layne survived an overdose and became a recluse. After that, it was a six-year-long slow suicide.
MTV (and the music industry) has more or less blackballed Layne (and yet, they laud over Kurt Cobain every April 5th, because Kurt was the "face of grunge", meanwhile Layne gets a "by the way"). The Grammys went so far as to invite Jerry, Mike and Sean to the Grammy show in 2003 and then refused to put Layne's picture up in the memorial of the musicians who died in 2002. (Or they "forgot" to) which pissed Jerry, Mike and Sean off and they walked out on the show.
The friendship between Jerry and Layne was unbreakable. Jerry NEVER once thought of replacing Layne as the singer while Layne was still alive. He always wanted Layne to sing whenever he had AIC do something. If there were ever cosmic soulmates ... Layne and Jerry would be it. (And by that I mean, they were Sympatico with each other. The way they sang together was a perfect pitch where two voices make one. What you hear and see between Jerry and Layne was a genuine friendship. They looked after each other. When one had problems with a song, the other picked up the slack. They were a team.
Jerry was doing a solo concert in Charlotte, NC when he heard that Layne was found two weeks after he died and Jerry was trying to get through the concert and crying. He did shows between the time he found out about Layne until Layne's funeral because if he had taken a break then, he didn't think he'd want to continue anything later after the mourning period.
Alice In Chains was a band, but they were also a family. They had internal issues just like any family. When Layne died, it was like losing a loved one, a family member, you don't think of the fights you had with the person who died. You defend their memory. There is a reason Jerry wrote NO EXCUSES about Layne and the line "You, my friend, I will defend / And if we change, well, I'll love you anyway."
"Whatever dramas are going on in my life, I always find that place inside my head where I see myself as the cleanest, tallest, strongest, wisest person that I can be." -- Layne Staley
"My bad habits aren't my title. My strengths and my talent are my title." -- Layne Staley
"When I tried drugs they were fucking great, and they worked for me for years, and now they're turning against me - and now I'm walking through hell and this sucks. I wrote about drugs, and I didn't think I was being unsafe or careless by writing about them. I didn't want my fans to think heroin was cool. But then I've had fans come up to me and give me the thumbs up, telling me they're high. That's exactly what I didn't want to happen." -- Layne Staley
"My grandmother and mother were such huge losses, but I got Layne, the guys, and I got this.” - Jerry Cantrell, Kerrang! (December 1, 2018)
“Jerry really loved Layne [Staley]. They had a bond I haven't seen before,” Jerry’s former manager Bill Siddons, April 19, 2002 (the day Layne was found two weeks after he died).
Really nice reaction. I didn't expect such a thoughtful analysis.
Thank you very much!
The singer was basically dying of a heroin addiction at this point. It was the last show they ever played with him before he died. So sad. He was one of the greats. But very sick.
For such a young woman, you have an amazing insight and intellect. You are very good at this. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
@@BisscuteReacts keep doing this and you will blow up. Soon, I would say.
When Jerry (the guitarist) does that cheeky smile once Layne hits that note, he did that cause there were lots of doubters regarding if Layne still had the ability to hit those insane notes. And when he executed the note perfectly, Jerry couldn't help but smile and be like ya told you so. Layne is the greatest grunge vocalist ever, a true genius and master of the art
Right? he is amazing ❤
@@BisscuteReacts yeah him and Cornell are the best grunge vocalists ever. I saw you like Cornell's work with Audioslave too, he's great also, cool reactions !
The song is about about addiction. Specifically the bassist, and the vocalist were both addicts at the time of this performance and both were struggling. In fact, both Mike Starr and Layne Staley died of drug addiction Layne in 1998, and Mike in 2011. RIP to both…
The it's your decision performed for guild guitars by William Duvall and Jerry Cantrell in the studio alone was a amazing performance.
The name came from Laynes former band Alice n Chains which was a Slayer cover band dressed in drag. Usually when people asked these guys about the meaning of the lyrics one of them would say something like "whatever you think it means....thats what it means"
I see ❤️
Layne Staley leadsinger .Jerry contrell,lead guitarist back up vocals
I LOVE your accent and how you talk…
Alice In Chains unplugged is one of my favorite albums of all time. Check out “Nutshell” or “Would?”
You can feel the pain in his voice and the desperation. It's a cry for help. But he might not have been ready to accept help even if someone was listening.
He tried to get help many times but he just could not shake it.
R.I.P Layne Staley!!! Staley struggled with addiction for much of his adult life and later died from a speedball overdose in 2002.
There will never be another singer like Layne. Thank you for doing this. Love seeing people that havent heard them before just be shocked by how great he was
2 1/2 yrs clean. Never give up, you can get yourself back
There’s so many great performances on this album, check out ‘Nutshell’- ‘Sludge Factory’- ‘Brother’- ‘Over Now’- ‘Got me Wrong’ just to name a few, really the whole album is amazing…. Definitely check out some of their earlier performances too like ‘Love Hate Love’ live at the Moore or ‘Bleed the Freak’ from the same concert… definitely go down the AIC rabbit hole, it’s totally worth it..:)
Jerry was in absolute peak top form for this show, Layne while still great wasn’t near peak form so Jerry did a lot of heavy lifting, with songs like brother/over now/got me long/killer is me/heaven beside you where he has a super heavy vocal presence. The show as a whole is amazing tho, best unplugged ever and Layne delivered even if he had a smaller role than he would’ve if he was healthier
Not sure how the name Alice in Chains came up... but (late) lead singer Layne Staley formed a band in Seattle in the 80's that was named "Alice n' chains"... likely a twist on the title 'Alice in Wonderland'.
Jerry Cantrell (guitar/ vocals) was in a band called Diamond Lie in the 80's... he met Layne Staley and the 2 became friends. Cantrell and Staley joined forces w/ drummer Sean Kinney and (late) bassist Mike Starr in 1987, the band changed its name to Alice in Chains (Possibly after Guns N' Roses became popular, and "Alice n' chains" sounded too similar) ...but I could be wrong.
“I’ve eaten the sun so my tongue has been burned of the taste” what an amazing way to describe drugs ruining you being happy.
I love the way you describe Layne's voice--Great video
Alice and chains was the name of Layne Staley's leadmans first earlier band and when they formed Alice n chains the rest is history. Leadmans name is Layne Staley lead guitarist Jerry contrell bass player Cliff, drummer ?? Great first reaction miss Biss all of Biss nation applause you. Your a rock star.i
All time favorite of mine, still breaks my heart to hear him sing, he was the best
This performance was pure perfection.
Layne Staley really was one of the best male singers ever, but that's obviously just my opinion. There was just something about him, very haunting. RIP Layne, and thank you for being an inspiration for a lot of my songwriting. You are truly missed.
I am happy that young people maybe like & maybe respect this.
Few things- it was discovered later this song was a personal song if his addictiin to narcotics which was the ultimate cauuse of his pasding, similar to master of puppets being james hetfields sing about his addiction to alcohol. The raspiness was from damage to his vocals. Back in those days managers pushed drug use to get more performance time from musicians.
Layne Staley is singer Jerry Cantrell guitarist and back up vocals
To me this is for sure about Layne's heroin addiction. "I've eaten the sun, so my tongue has been burnt of the taste " is referring to getting that high from the heroin the first time is the best you'll ever feel, so nothing else is ever that good again sadly. And yes, I know from experience. 20 years + clean now though
Actually it was about the relationship Jerry had with the love of his life but Layne just makes it his.
I love that you caught the same thing I did. He knew layne was eventually gonna die from the drugs but he was smiling and so happy that Layne was on it and pouring his heart out and this performance would stick around a lifetime.
Thanks so much for finally reacting to this amaaazing band! Nutshell from the same MTV performance next please :)! Ps you look stunning in that blue top, wow!
It's like Layne is singing about his own demise -- SO heartbreaking knowing that he was. But B-girl, for someone that talented and successful to fall into that addiction hole, there's got to be something DEEPER dragging them down into that hole, don't you think? THAT, I think, is what he's singing about, not just the addiction, BUT what put him there - I mean I've read after looking into this, that Layne weighed 86 pounds when he died. What hole did he feel his wings had been SO denied in? DAMN .......................
More a7x please!!! Watched the so far away video again because of your great genuine reaction. I heard the band for the first time in 2008 and was truly crushed by the news. Jimmy will always be remembered and his work will be enjoyed for eternity.. no matter how emotional it can be. That being said.. his memory will always live on and we must appreciate this art until it’s our time.
"Unplugged" was the zenith of a once-great channel.
What I've read about this show is that they had several rehearsals that weren't going well and they were thinking of canceling the entire thing because Lane was having health issues. So I think everyone was quite happy with how well he pulled it together for the performance.
Jerry contrell back up vocals and guitar bass,??drums?? Alice n chains came about when Layne Staley lead singer for his former glam metal band Alice n chains when jerry and Layne started band and called it Alice and chains.😊😅😢❤❤❤ Thank you miss Biss great reaction🤗👏💰🎵🎵🎶🤑
The song was actually written by Jerry Cantrell, the lead guitar player about his girlfriend at the time. Layne had to convince him to sing some of the song with him because it had meaning to Cantrell. Thank god he did because their harmonies are unreal.
Layne had one of the most powerful voices I’ve ever heard at his peak. But this unplugged performance really shows what made him exceptional. Even when he’s frankly a shell of himself, he can still project such emotion into his performance.
Layne can make you feel fury or pain or love or joy or brokenness, but he can always make you FEEL.
indeed ❤️
Singer was high during this... that cheeky smile was because he was glad the singer was on it. Early in the song Jerry carries and guides Laynes vocals. By all accounts, Staley was high but just high enough so that he wasn't actively in withdrawal and could function in public. Songwriter and guitarist Jerry Cantrell (guitar player) had eaten a bad hot dog and was barely staving off the effects of food poisoning (you can spot a trash can next to him).
Excellent reaction ! I saw this on M TV when is was first aired, never get's old ! Love this band
Simply Put,,, this is a song about being on Drugs/Sadness and expressing what is Really Felt Inside vs the Face We Present in Society... Sometimes, when on actual Drugs We Lose Complete Hope and... Well. :(
Layne staly had a glam metal band called Alice n chains Jerry contrell and Layne met and they named the band yep you guessed it Alice and Chains.❤❤❤❤ Go Biss Nation
If you want more of this bass react to Would - Alice in Chains MTV Unplugged (same concert)
Epic bass line.
Beautiful perspective on this amazing song
We lived through this time, very depressing friends and also great legendary singers and band performers dropping like flies from addiction depression and neglection bravo to the ones who made it through.
Addiction sucks, I was lost once.. thankfully I found my way back. Several do not, when you get to a point that you literally do not care about yourself it's hard as hell to change that mindset. The drugs are secondary honestly, for lack of better words they are your company when you feel like you are not worthy of human company. Really, really sucks. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and a lot of very special talented people got lost in heroin. And Layne's story in particular is a heart breaker
Hey mrs biss your so amazing and straight to the point its not a christiN song or band its 80s rock or pop genisis is drums ,vocals
Been performing sense 70s .thank yo u ..Mrs biss❤❤
Nuttshell in this same unplugged show is a great one as well.
Great reaction to a magnificent band. There are so many amazing songs. Would, Rooster, Nutshell, Man in the box etc.. You are a beautiful soul❤️❤️
Head Creeps, Again, Junkhead, Bleed the Freak, Would?, Rotten Apple, Dirt, Grind, Nuttshell, What the Hell Have I….please check out some of these songs.. Layne RIP and thank you for sharing your pain through music.
I'm so happy you found AIC, I was young back in their day and just amazing the talent of the band and his voice was one of the best ever.
Alice n chains is the name of Layne Staley's former glam metal bands Jerry and Layne got together and the rest is history Layne's band Alice and chains Jerry& Layne Alice n chains.😉🔥
yess!! glad to see you checked out alice in chains. if you want more alice in chains, i recommend "Love Hate Love" to witness more of layne's vocal prowess. make sure it is the live version!
Hey Miss Biss Layne Staley lead vocalist Jerry contrells lead guitarist back-uo vocalist.Alice and chains got name from Layne Staley's former bands glam metal Alice n chains well and the rest is history. And Miss Biss you're right about song it's about Drug addiction and hitting rock bottom.give a hip hip hooray from all of Biss Nation.😁😳👏😜
AIC is one of the best bands ever! Awesome reaction! Listen to love hate love live at the moore. That is a full power Layne vocals. It would be a great watch.

Layne staley great singers ever....
Rip legend the king grunge musician 🤟🤘🤟🤘
suggestion for helping the addicted, being one of them. It's not the will to quit its the money involved that prevents most people i know like me. I can't quit life for months i still have to work. Making rehab impossible. But its good tunes regardless if that was meaning or not. thumbs up, I'll be down for some more :)
Great reaction!!! Glad you caught Jerry’s smile :)
You would love the band 🔥TOOL🔥
As someone once said: you don’t listen to Layne Staley, you FEEL him. That’s the truth.
Indeed very true
I enjoy listening to you. You're very observant and have a way of phrasing your thoughts well.
Songs giving me the chills
First time listening to you.
Good job! I like how you cover the subjects and your takes on the them!
Thank you so much ❤️
Layne the singer was struggling with addiction, You should definitely check out Alice in chains "Nutshell" MTV unplugged, you can hear him crying out for help in that performance, it's sad, haunting and absolutely beautiful at the same time. I wish he could have found the help he needed because he is definitely missed ❤
Hopefully someday ❤
masters of the universe
There are so many people in this world that will never understand what this song really means.
Finallyy ALICE .. Next one. LOVE hate love at the Moore... Layne Staley was the best voice in the 90s
Incredible review! You are great.
U read up on lane's struggle u really get a lot of insight into the songs. Growing up i didn't understand it like I do now and raw emotion is exactly what it is
Nutshell really knows how to hit you in the feels
That song always gets me
Alice n chains are what they are because that was what Layne staleys earlier bands a am meta l band named yep al 16:06 ice and chains.rest is history❤😮🎉🎉🎉☺️🤪
I’d recommend also doing “Nutshell” “Brother” and “Rooster” from the same live show, all are a must see🔥
Glad you're going into this genre but Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden....3 of the best most iconic voices...can't wait to see!
Layne Staley is the best voice in all rock history 👑
Great reaction and thoughts Biss!. Alice in Chains (with Layne) was a incredible and powerful band. I recommend Man in the Box from them next.
They’re still a very powerful band without him, obviously his voice is missed but Jerry is still one of the best songwriters alive. Black gives way to blue is a phenomenal album and the title track is one of the most emotional and powerful songs they’ve ever written. Their peak will always be with Layne but they’re still a great band and will remain that as long as Jerry is around running the show like he always has.
@@puppetmaster8551 That's fine If you find them worthy yet, not for me anymore. I gave a try to their records after Layne, but its not the same at all (and I totally agree with you, Jerry is a beast!), but for me is like Nirvana without Kobain.
@@chupitolepame5357 difference is jerry was more of the Kurt of AIC than Alice, he was the primary songwriter not Layne. I miss Layne and he’s my favorite singer but band still kicks ass imo, black gives way to blue is a phenomenal record all the way through. As long as Jerry is around running the show I think AIC will remain great, they may never reach the heights of dirt but they still release quality music and play great show.
It still saddens me to see Layne in such bad shape, but he really dug deep and gave a great performance. Check out Love, Hate, Love in their Live from the Moore concert to see Layne at his best.
Greatest grunge band ever. Layne is the 🐐. Not even close. Laid it all out there
This lady rocks!!
Well the song says it all...😢 don't you think
This was their last concert and performances on TV together before Layne went really down in a hole 😢
Run for the hills is one of their best songs off there best album number of the beast and self titled album Iron maiedan😮😢😂❤❤❤
