Goddammit, Mike...I remember talking to him at the methadone clinic, and he said that he couldn't remember how to play Chains' songs anymore. We both cried. I hope you've found peace, brother. I'll love and miss you forever.
Justin Friedeck Idk what the first part of your comment means. But if God exists, I hope Layne and Mike are with him. Im selfish, though, and I want them here with me still. Layne and Mike were very good friends of mine, and it took many years before I could listen to Chains again after Layne passed. I just hope they've found peace wherever they are. They were both such beautiful humans and didn't deserve to die as they did. But they live on in the hearts and souls of so many, and their music will forever bring joy to the world...so it's not ALL bad.
Just read your comments...wow, it's so amazing that you were able to spend time with both Layne and Mike. I'm currently going to "the clinic" and fighting my own battle, and AIC have helped me through many, many difficult days. I pray things are going well for you, and I'd love to hear more about your friendships with Layne and Mike.
The real shame of it is his choice to engage in the drugs that ultimately lead to his death. He’s not some “tragic hero” as many people like to paint him. He’s an incredibly talented individual who died way before he should have because he made a series of very destruction choices.
@@aeromedical6750 In fairness most people and fans know this. It’s only true idiots that think he sacrificed himself for rock. However I also know you don’t just stumble into heroin it usually comes after trauma or mental health problems. Either way he is truly missed as a person.
This is my favourite Alice In Chains song/performance of all time. Fucking unbelievable! Tempo - heaviness - venue - the condition of these guys... This is piece of rock history right here.
This is a Super human performance, when you consider what happened to Mike the night before. He looks grey when it shoots to the clips of him head banging yet he puts in so much energy. Love this version!
Cantrell and many band members toured with this guy. Hung out, wrote songs....... Literally watched him become Jim Morrison. What a time it must have been
@@kkjj4508 layne is sick, legend says he was contamined with a heavy flu or smth because of the extreme climate change, jerry's a bit drunk, thats AIC for you lol
+Theo Carvalho I would have only been 3 myself, sucks that we both missed out on this gem. I seen them in 2010 but... all the originals would have been magnificent.
Same here, same age and all!?! Man, why couldn't Layne have pulled through because I truly believe he would have made a huge impact on a lot more people! He was hands down one of the most relatable of all time!?! I can't think of another singer of the top of my head who puts as much emotion and heart in every song as Layne did, even put everything in the last couple of songs he recorded when he literally was far gone that he couldn't even stand up by himself from illness caused the drug use running his immune system and that is a fact not my opinion either!?! (last part)
Yeah, Vada, even if he himself wouldn't agree with it, I think he way overcame Ozzy. Good to know we are only (almost) 30, so too young when the big revolt happened, but still grunge at heart. In times of Rihanna I long for that raw sound to make everything else look silly again.
I love how Layne would always try and get Cantrell to sing more. Shows the type of person he was. One of my best buddies in the world BQ ( Brian Quintrall ). He had the same mannerism and style and look of Layne it was crazy. He passed away years back from an OD. I was supposed to be with him that night but wasn't because of school. R.I.P All my buddies, Layne and Mike. I pray you all have no more suffering and have found Peace with our Father in paradise. I'm still battling suffer, But I will see you guys again. This I believe.
I was hanging around with/near Alice in 89/90/91 in Seattle and was out at their gigs, some house parties, some of the same bars, and good friends of mine roommates with some of them at that time and a few years later, so am up to speed still today with that kind of detail in regard to stuff like The Central Tavern logos and t shirts, which is where in fact, the first time I saw Alice play in autumn of 1989. That place, The Central Tavern in Pioneer Square has a lot of meaning to the band and others who saw them thee at that time. cheers.
Show do nirvana foi um lixo batido com bosta e vômito. Cobain não foi nada profissional no show. Aloprou e fez todo mundo perder tempo. Você pega a diferença pro layne nesse show no rio, destruído de drogas, provavelmente dias sem dormir, totalmente lotado de droga no cérebro e profissional ao extremo. Sinto saudades enorme do layne, não consigo superar até hoje a sua ida.
@@DouglasValleFreitas Sim, isso que eu admirava no Layne, ele era muito profissional e tinha consciência que ali tinha pessoas que queriam ver um show legal, coisa que muitas vezes o Kurt não tinha, agia por impulso e estragava os shows e as pessoas pagavam e no final perdiam dinheiro.
@@melanieballard110 That show is a once in a millennium performance, it was way better than studio quality. The only crime about that recording is that they didn't capture Kinney on drums very well.
@@joejones9520 more metal but grunge isn't really a style. Grunge is various combinations of classic rock, doom metal ,punk rock ,folk and blues. Alice was blues metal and rock. Nirvana was punk rock, folk,pop. Soundgarden was soul ,hard rock, metal with some punk and phycedilic, melvins are pure sludge metal. Pearl jam is like 70s arena rock. They all had a northwest bluesy yarl draw but that's about it.
@@MRSludgedude simply that you intuitively know to mention them all together means that you know theyre something different from all other bands and there is a convenient word for what they are: Grunge.
@@joejones9520 the vocals may be the only thing they have in common musically speaking. The style was made up by sub pop marketing to draw ppl to Seattle bands. The term grunge was new so ppl lumped it all as one style. There can't be any new grunge bands. Any new grunge band is post grunge since it wasn't one or two styles. Most all other genres have more in common musically. Grunge bands did whatever they wanted and none sounded the same.
![Alice In Chains 1990 Seattle [full live show]](/img/n.gif)
I know that “Would?” is generally accepted as their best song. I would put “Bleed the Freak” right up there. This song just screams Alice In Chains.
aeromedical67 this is definitely my favorite song by them
no one thinks 'would' is their best.
My favorite for sure
AIC has so many bomb songs it's so hard to name a very accurate Top 5 tracks of them
A fucking great song
Layne Staley, doesn't matter how many times I listen, God, Jesus Christ what a voice
Axel H Amen! I once heard his voice described as an "angry angel". Amen again!
❤️😢😻
Layne, Chris... holy fuck they were incredible.
@@TimmyTwoTuck for sure, add Kurt and Eddie best voices ever
@@nataliedonovan4966 yes! A Fallen Angel….👍🏼

LunahSea this is so fucking sad
@Justin Friedeck Layne Staley hated religion.
Spicy Meatball! I remember hearing that too as well as he believed in something, didn’t know what it was but there was def something
Layne always sang studio quality live. What a fucking voice. What a talent
Layne Staley -What a total badass in his short time on Earth!
He was an amazing human being.

This is my favourite Alice In Chains song/performance of all time. Fucking unbelievable! Tempo - heaviness - venue - the condition of these guys... This is piece of rock history right here.
My favorite too!
I wish I had a Time travel Machine to watch this fantastic performance with my own eyes.
Cristiano Vieira Tavares i think his vocals live would make all of us go nuts lol
Let me join because I’d so go to it too
Same here dude
If you get that chance also check out the 1992 Lollapalooza..Epic band lineup..my generations Woodstock
Especially at Rio de Janeiro
I will never get tired of listening - chills every single time. Each of them mega-talented. Layne, geezus there was/is no one like him.
Damn.. he always sounds amazing live. That’s a rarity in vocalists. Layne Staley, you are INCREDIBLE!!! ❤️❤️ 2:47
He was the Hero in.
This is a Super human performance, when you consider what happened to Mike the night before.
He looks grey when it shoots to the clips of him head banging yet he puts in so much energy. Love this version!
What happened?
@@hessianmusicdealer Mike Starr od'd and practically died the night before this show.
@@s.m.5386I thought it was the night of ?
Such a badass Layne was
Cantrell and many band members toured with this guy. Hung out, wrote songs....... Literally watched him become Jim Morrison. What a time it must have been
Jerry was helping Layne in that song a lot and still kicks ass AIC RIP
Layne always encouraged Jerry to sing, it’s intentional
@@aidandavis6530 Perfect together
In this performance they both sound off, timing is off
@@michaelviens2894 not on this song performance
@@kkjj4508 layne is sick, legend says he was contamined with a heavy flu or smth because of the extreme climate change, jerry's a bit drunk, thats AIC for you lol
Every single member of AIC was/is a master of their craft.
I swear i cant stop listening to this song what a fucking VOICE!
Kinney glides on drums
Love this version, the way they slow it down to start and then it just goes off.
I was just six back then. Anyway I so wish I had gone to that concert...
+Theo Carvalho I would have only been 3 myself, sucks that we both missed out on this gem. I seen them in 2010 but... all the originals would have been magnificent.

Rest easy Mike & Layne.
2:30 - 2:45 WOW.
Definitely my favorite song from AIC ❤️
Easily maybe the best 90s grunge performance
My God this is so fucking rampage...knock someone out good
Jerry and his glorious hair.
What a legend!!
dude was a fucking god or something
I love how Layne would always try and get Cantrell to sing more. Shows the type of person he was.

I'm still battling suffer, But I will see you guys again. This I believe.
How are you doing, brother?
Layne on stage was a completely different person compared to who he was irl, I bet. He was a goddamn angry angel demigod up there.
ALICE IN FUCKING CHAINS!!!!
One of my favorite Alice in Chains songs. These guys shit out great rock songs every morning and twice on Sundays.
That voice.
BLEED FOR LAYNE !!! - Y'ALL !!!
I wanna be like Jerry!
who doesnt
MrTehproworld what a douche?
Gonna deep
@@commonjones6902 why do you say that?
that makes sense AIC looked like they could all be in Playgirl
What a fucking gem Lane was absolutely destroyed but he fucking made it
"pop culture" with a real message died after the 90s ended
rajikii everything good died with the 90's.we are all stuck with shit.in all aspects
Got that right!
My fav AiC song, Layne's voice is so powerful 💗
the fact that jerry cantrell is wearing a nirvana shirt makes me so happy.
+saztradamus Thats not a nirvana shirt
Jace Viets Drumming yeah i watched it again its not. the last 4 letters looked like it said nirvana. good call
+saztradamus - that's a 'Central' (Tavern) shirt - in Pioneer Square Seattle where they had their early gigs in like 1988/1989/1990
+Cindy Reframe Wade thank you. im definitely aware now.

Those first two lines give me goddamn chills every single listen. RIP Layne, you beautiful soul ❤
The talent......gawd
Jerry killed it in this one! 🤘
São ótimos!!!
One of the best yet
amazing
jerry cantrell is a genius songwriter! amazing song and performance! what a voice of course as well. layne probably the greatest ever!
I’m still going in every single show 🙏🇺🇸 what boring world we live no renovation in rock n roll !
Super Video!!!;)
Master lesson in rocknroll 🤘🏼
The best
até aRRepia,, Eu vi esse msm Show uma semana antes no Morumbi
Foi no Hollywood Rock isso né ?
Sim
Layne was walking with god in some crazy fallen state where he could communicate a deep imagination of pain and excitement 🤣👍
Best song by them
This song is so Alice in chains
Layne was a beast. RIP
Único festival onde conseguiu unir nirvana e aic
Apesar do show do nirvana ter sido bem ruim do aic foi bem foda!!!
Show do nirvana foi um lixo batido com bosta e vômito. Cobain não foi nada profissional no show. Aloprou e fez todo mundo perder tempo.

Not nearly the voice he had in 90/91. The van halen tour was their peak.
He sounds incredible here. But I agree. Bleed the Freak from the Live at the Moore show is insane.

Ill never consider AIC a "grunge" band. They were Heavy Metal all the way through, Jack! No need to send me a receipt!
good grief, they were the archetypal grunge band, not metal. why say stupid stuff?

Elaborate??
@@KroD313 it's a false rumor, KC and Layne never met, Jerry met KC once.
