Facelift was their debut album, it had this song Love Hate Love, Man in the Box. In my opinion one of the best debut albums ever. I know Ozzy Osborne and Kim Thayil of Soundgarden rank it among their most favorite albums 🤘🏽
I'm 55.... all these musicians and singers from Seattle were in my peer group.... and one by one I watched them fall..... feels like losing family members....RIP Layne, Mike, Andy, Kurt, Chris, Mark, and the many others I haven't mentioned because there are too many.... these brothers were like Dark Angels roaming the planet.... hope Chris and Layne save me a seat a the big table.... you are all greatly missed by many.... especially this fan.
This was an amazing live performance of “It Ain’t Like That” 🙌🏼 favourite AIC Songs: 1. Would 2. Nutshell 3. Down in a Hole 4. Angry Chair 5. Bleed the Freak Great reaction Rah 👏🏼🙏🏼👍🏼💜🇨🇦
Layne had such an amazing voice, also shoutout Jerry Cantrell who wrote these lyrics and basically this entire album, one of the best songwriters ever.
It’s definitely a 🔥 album but Layne wrote lyrics to 5 of the 12 songs on Facelift so I wouldn’t say Jerry wrote basically the entire album 🤘🏽 They were both great, great together I should say
@@BradCross1982 he wrote lyrics to 4 songs alone and then 1 song Jerry and Layne wrote them together. The other 7 were Jerry alone and all the music, so for the most part he wrote the large majority of that album.
Yeah... I Can’t Remember was both of them. I still like to give both of them credit, those songs wouldn’t have been then same if either of them weren’t involved. Even the songs Jerry wrote it was Layne’s vocals that made them great in my opinion, if someone else had been the vocalist it wouldn’t have been near as good, I’ve heard many covers even by great singers and it just don’t hit the same as it did with Layne
@@BradCross1982 I agree, I've found so many people out there trying to downgrade what Layne contributed and try to make it seem as if Layne would be nothing without Jerry. AIC would be nothing without all their members. Jerry and Layne were absolutely amazing together though. They both had success without each other but it was nothing like it was when they were together. AIC continues to make quality music today but imo are missing that iconic voice (not a fan of Duvals voice) Mad season was absolutely brilliant as well.
Yo..for most of people that love AIC, it’s widely know the Love at the Moore entire show is fire. And I haven’t seen anyone react to the whole show (I’m sure there is but..still) so if you did it that would be dope. The mad Season love at the Moore show is dope too. And the other show, RCKNDY or somethin like that it awesome too (Mike McCreedy goes off!). Keep it up 👍
Jerry Cantrell was the driving force behind this band. He also wrote more than 80% of AIC music. He commented that Layne was the voice that he was seeking to sing his music. Cantrell can rip the guitar and his vocals combined with Staley created a sound that will remain timeless. RIP Layne Staley You’ve become free of your pain and depression
Musically Jerry wrote probably 96% of the music, lyrically it was about 45-50% for Jerry. They were a great team, I doubt we’ll ever see another tandem like them again 🤘🏽
@@BradCross1982 What a trip to see these dudes when they first broke.. Headbangers tearing shit down, is what they were . Loved AIC the minute I heard that first cut . I think the first song I remember hearing was “Man in the Box” After that .. I was all about it
Staley is the best rock vocalist of his generation, and one of the best of any generation. And that’s coming from a massive Chris Cornell fan haha. Pound for pound, Staley had them all beat.
1 would? 2 it ain’t like that 3 rooster 4 man in the box 5love hate love I’m from Tennessee but anything from dirt is my favorite songs and album layne s is my favorite singer of all times
I prefer their live recordings, I think the studio hindered Layne, I think he sounds way better live RIP ❤️sweet angel 🥰 I pray that you found peace 🙏🏻
@@BradCross1982 you must be right. Well, so he still got couple songs from Facelift and definitely Jar of Flies to listen to. Like I really love vocals on Real thing...or the Magic of Rotten Apple....and we can go wnd on and on..... :)
IT AIN'T LIKE THAT came out of a riff that guitarist Jerry Cantrell cited as a cool mistake. The lyrics could be traced back to the band's disillusionment with Los Angeles. They were wide-eyed kids from Seattle headed to Los Angeles - the city of angels. When they got to Los Angeles, it was not what they expected. The Sunset Strip that had been the haunt of Van Halen, The Doors, Motley Crue, Poison, and Guns N’ Roses was nothing like the club circuit they played in Seattle. The 1980s music scene that clubs on the Sunset Strip thrived on for a decade was dying out. Compared to the Sunset Strip in 1989-90, the Central Tavern looked like a nightclub in the Ritz Hotel. The lyric: Sign the deal, set in motion / Smaller fish, so huge the ocean had not been a more appropriate description of their situation. The version you chose was Live at the Moore filmed on December 22, 1990. The concert became Live Facelift that was released in 1991 on a very rare VHS that costs 75.00 last I checked. The VHS included MAN IN THE BOX, REAL THING, LOVE HATE LOVE (which is UNTOUCHABLE PERFECTION played live by a rock band), SEA OF SORROW, BLEED THE FREAK all live from The Moore 1990, as well as official videos for WE DIE YOUNG, MAN IN THE BOX, and SEA OF SORROW. IT AIN'T LIKE THAT (from the Facelift album) and WOULD? (that showed up on the Dirt album) appeared on the Singles soundtrack because Seattle, Washington as big as the town is, musically it's a small town. All the bands that came out of the Seattle scene knew each other and went to see each other play the club circuit. Cameron Crowe is married to Nancy Wilson of the band Heart and he wanted to make a movie about the Seattle music scene and made Singles where a fictional band, Citizen Dick opened for Alice In Chains. They used It Ain't Like That from the Facelift album and Cameron Crowe gave them money to demo songs... AIC took the money, they demoed the 6 acoustic songs that are on SAP EP and two songs Rooster and Would? that ended up on the Dirt album. Cameron Crowe picked through the songs and used Would? out of the bunch. Jerry thought the song was strong enough to be included on the Dirt album and that's how Would? ended up on the Singles soundtrack and the same version ended up on Dirt. Whenever you see Bad Animals Studios in the liner notes, at the time the album was recorded, Bad Animals Studios was owned by Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart. Layne Staley'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 vocal resonance come out of Layne's body LOUDER than it did coming out of the speakers, Layne's voice was that powerful.
Your whole generation missed our X revolution. Watch some Pantera on stage. Slayer concerts would rip the bolted seats out and half my friends would start a cycle, peaking out for the concert.

I haven't seen anyone react to it yet but Alice in Chains 'real thing' is a cool song that doesn't get played too often. I think you might dig it
You need to do Bleed the Freak from the same show!
Its incredible!
I totally agree!
Facelift is amazing. "Sunshine" is a nice one.
it's so cool to see a black rapper digging my cultural music. I just don't see this very often. BIG LOVE Rah!
Facelift is just as good as dirt honestly. I find myself listening to facelift more actually
Damn wish you would have done the singles pro shot version best one by far...love this though....been waiting forever for this thank you!!!!!
"Real Thing" and "Frogs" next please!
I prefer the studio versions, but the live versions are great too 🔥
This whole album is 🔥!!!
Yo..for most of people that love AIC, it’s widely know the Love at the Moore entire show is fire. And I haven’t seen anyone react to the whole show (I’m sure there is but..still) so if you did it that would be dope.
