...He sang that song while dying on that show... He was far gone from his pure glory, the drugs already took all his teeth and he was also zoning out in the show so much and forgot lyrics that they edited it out a lot. His voice was still there but the strength was fading and it was giving such a hard time getting it all out...it didn't help he kept going to shoot up to stay awake. :'( RIP Layne Staley
@@mishaaskar3323what are you talking about? The missing teeth was a rumor, at least up until that point. Also, he nailed that performance. He still sounded amazing. Remember, it was an acoustic set- it wouldn’t sound right if he wailed like he does in this amazing performance, for a quieter acoustic set. He still sounded great up until his final performance during the Kiss tour.
This was Layne performing at his best, all these years later I still have goosebumps and tears in my eyes at just how insanely good his voice was. No one else comes close. 💔
Best live performance EVER!!! Layne Staley was an amazing singer. Alice in Chains will always be my favorite band. RIP Layne you will always be loved and remembered ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Richard here, Thanks for the request girls!, Didn't realize you had never heard Alice in Chains ever, The lead singer Layne Staley has since passed away but I knew this tune by one of my favourite bands would catch your attention, Cheers.
Love Hate Love live at the Moore is LAYNE STALEY in his prime and UNTOUCHABLE PERFECTION. All other bands should strive to have a live performance this perfect. Layne is better live than studio version. One of the very few singers who are better live. Layne wrote the song about his tumultuous relationship with Demri Parrott (pronounced Per-roh). There was cheating on both sides. Listen to the song from the mindset of a sociopath. How many times did Layne come back home from being on tour to find another guy just so smitten-puppy love-tattoo-you-on-my-chest in love with Demri at first sight. But the Demri fans think Layne should have lain down and taken that because he deserved it for screwing groupies on the road? There a few stories of her on the road with him where the first thing she thought of was scoring junk before anything else. I've come to the conclusion that apparently to Demri fans the Layne/Demri relationship is a sacred, hollowed relationship and NO ONE is allowed to side with him against her for what she did to him with the drugs and cheating on him, but he was lower than a snake for what he did to her with the drugs and cheating on her. She was so independent, she DID NOT even want to be recognized as his girlfriend (God-forbid that ever happen). Even though the second he told her he wouldn't get her any more drugs, she just turned around and shacked up with the next guy who would do what she wanted. Her family called Layne back home from GERMANY where he was on tour for a damn intervention with her. There was one instance where Layne sent her out for coke or something, and she came back with heroin. Hell, it wasn't like Demri was headed for a life in a convent when she met Layne and on the day she was to take her holy orders, Layne corrupted her. She already knew how to get drugs when they met. Layne could have wished upon a star a million times over that she would have married him, but she wasn't going to give up the drugs any more than Layne would have, so there was no way in hell she was marrying him. She had such a feminist independent streak. When they were making the Sea of Sorrow video, the girlfriends were all invited down to participate in the video. Every girlfriend showed up EXCEPT Demri. She didn't even show up to support him let alone be in the video. Discussing the title track "Dirt", Cantrell stated that "the words Layne put to it were so heavy, I've never given him something and not thought it was gonna be the most bad-assed thing I was going to hear." Staley said he wrote the song "to a certain person (Demri) who basically buried my ass". In an interview with the Canadian magazine M.E.A.T. in December 1992, Layne Staley said about the cover: "This album cover... I like to refer to it as "revenge". The woman on the album cover is kinda the portrayal of that person being sucked down into the dirt (laughs), instead of me. The picture is the spitting image of her, and that wasn't even planned. Actually, I was pretty angry about it when I first saw it - she's not happy about it either (laughs). It was real eerie. The girl on the album cover is really Mariah O'Brien NOT Demri. She had two heart surgeries that Layne paid for and two lung surgeries (I do NOT know if Layne paid for the lung surgeries) all stemming from endocarditis that she contracted through intravenous drug use. She passed away on October 28, 1996, from a bacterial infection that was a complication from the last overdose she had. Even though they had broken up for good by 1994, he still loved her and she was still hanging around in 1995 and 1996 before she hooked up with someone else a few months before her death. Demri’s death devastated Layne. A few months later, Layne asked her mother for the teddy bear Demri had with her in the hospital and a few other things. It took another few weeks and an accidental meeting on a busy street to exchange the items. The consensus was that Layne never got over Demri’s death. He used her death as the catalyst to go into a drug-induced tailspin in which he would take his addiction to lengths few could imagine or sustain. (This is coming from a Layne fan who was NEVER a fan of Demri and the many times she strung him along)
This is the first time I read about the song meaning and Layne’s past and toxic relationships. Sad.. RIP great singer: we will miss you, ever and ever...
Not sure if you know but sadly the lead singer Layne Staley passed away from a heroin overdose.. he was struggling for years and sadly couldn't win the battle, one of the BEST singers EVER, RIP 💔💔
Layne Stanley, Chris Cornell, Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder are just... incomparable voices really. They have the perfect balance between talent and feeling in their songs. It's just unreal . Greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
I look at Layne as an angel ,like he was sending a message to the people , like Jesus did! Maybe through his pain ,some one else can live!...RIP Layne Staley...😢
Ah the good music of the 90s... they were my adolescence. I was born 1978 and I grew up listening to the Rock of the 70s, 80s and 90s. Ahh.. timeless classics they are hehe :) And when it comes to Alice in Chains... then you my dear ladies... have been introduced to the PERFECT Harmony of Dissonance!

I.looked through all the heartfelt honest positive comments about this performance. To be honest, all of these comments still can't accurately give justice to this performance!! I honestly don't have the words to describe the feelings that this song produces inside of me whenever I hear it!!!
Nice reaction ladies. Alice in Chains has some good songs in their collection. I saw a photo of one of you with a guitar - do either of you play instruments? If yes, please come back to Rush and watch Working Man Live in Cleveland. You will see the greatest guitar and bass solos in concert. They first performed the song in 1974 - the concert is in 2011 - 37 years later. The more Rush - the more subscribers:-)
OMG nice reaction, the beauty on the right was in the zone, she felt his pain, his voice, his passion, that was beautiful to watch, hey girl You are amazing, love from Poland
Great reaction! This is a deep cut so im suprised you started with it. I recommend "Nutshell" or "Down In A Hole" from their MTV Unplugged concert. Their story was a tragic one, but it makes their music all that more poignant and powerful.
Just one of the countless examples of why Grunge is in my opinion the best music genre! Cannot beat the pain, passion, emotion, and rawness of it! I highly suggest Nirvana next.....!
shit, Lane wrote this song to this Younger beauty, I don't know man, I have seen many reactions, Yours is the most genuine one, I've never seen a reactor took a song so deep as this Younger lady, she is beautiful btw, looks like an angel, like an Elf, if there are more awesome Ladies like You girls in Nepal then Nepal must be a heaven
For something else with masterful musical composition i would recommend the band Nightwish. The normal starting point is "Ghost Love Score" live at wacken
*To pick just one word to describe the feeling...I choose ANGUISH. I love AIC and still have and listen to all of their CDs/songs. Try their song JUNKHEAD if you are still doing reactions.*
Unfortunately 3 of the 4 main singers of the grunge era (Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam) have passed away to early. Kurt Cobain - Nirvana - 1994 - Age 27: Supposedly suicide Layne Stanley - Alice In Chains - 2002 - Age 34: Supposedly drug overdose. Chris Cornell - Soundgarden - 2017 - Age 52: Supposedly suicide Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam is the only singer of those 4 Grunge bands still alive today. May they all rest in peace.
You pretty much can't go wrong if you chose to react to any song from this same concert, Alice In Chains Live at the Moore, agree with what that other guy said, Man in the Box is best
First of all why are they not in the Hall of Fame second of all if anybody tells me that Axl Rose has a better voice than Layne Staley I'm going to puke🤮
Good stuff guys, best band of all time. This whole show was incredible and their whole mtv unplugged show is widely considered one of if not the best ever. Almost all their music is extremely dark and depressing. The singer in this video Layne Staley ended up dying because of is addiction and depression, it’s a really sad story but they made some of the best music ever while he was alive. Jerry Cantrell the guitarist who also is a singer for them is the one who wrote most of their music and is one of the best songwriters in history, he usually wrote the music and then him and Layne would split the lyrics about 50/50. They’re still a band today and they kick ass, the guitarist Jerry is the lead singer now though.
@@Elis_Nordgall not really, Jerry has been lead on way more of the new material, Will is lead vocalist when they perform stuff that Layne sang, on the new material Jerry is without a doubt the frontman most of the time. So really I guess they’re both lead vocalists, Will for most of the old material while Jerry is the lead on the new stuff and Will plays more of Jerry’s old singing role when Layne was in the band.
There will never be another Layne Staley. R.I.P.
Lovely reaction. im sitting here the whole time thinking "they not ready" 😂
Thank you
@@ReactionRetreat tbvo vo. Vo vvc9ccccc9c. 9
This man was a tortured soul. "Nutshell" from mtv unplugged will give you another look into his passion and his pain. R.I.P. Layne Staley
...He sang that song while dying on that show...
He was far gone from his pure glory, the drugs already took all his teeth and he was also zoning out in the show so much and forgot lyrics that they edited it out a lot.

RIP Layne Staley
@@mishaaskar3323 He wasn't dying yet. He lived 6 more years after unplugged. He wasn't live at moore layne but he wasn't dead yet.
@@mishaaskar3323 all his. We’re not missing during the mtv show

Besides Chris, but both are untouchable

All Of their songs are great. And so are the videos these girls make sub ✔

It is an amazing sing and we loved it, thank you for suggesting us this song
Thanks for the suggestion!! Love it!
Possibly the best live performance in rock during this era.
I appreciate you reminding me of the youth I loved
Same!
This was the best bar bad I had ever seen. The following year, I saw them on their first U.S. tour.

So jealous of anyone watching this performance for the first time. I’m glad I got to watch it again with you.
Nice reaction. And by the way, your hair is beautiful
Surprised from Bangladesh, love staley🖤
also "Man In The Box" Live at the Moore is another great one. Thats probably their biggest hit.
Sure
It's their most well known song, but others like Would?, Nutshell or No Excuses are better.
First time I heard this I literally got goosebumps as well! Great reaction (:
Great reaction! This is a deep cut so im suprised you started with it. I recommend "Nutshell" or "Down In A Hole" from their MTV Unplugged concert. Their story was a tragic one, but it makes their music all that more poignant and powerful.
Alice in Chains "Would" is a most check the original video in color ladies ❤️ ,his voice is unique..
Just one of the countless examples of why Grunge is in my opinion the best music genre! Cannot beat the pain, passion, emotion, and rawness of it! I highly suggest Nirvana next.....!
Sure
Gotta do the unplugged version of the song nutshell. Makes me cry every time it’s so good
Awesome reaction video!!
