I think this was the first song on the album can you imagine putting it on and him screaming at you right from the start?
Jerry always writes absolute banger album openers. We die young/them bones/grind as the openers for their first 3 records, so good
@puppetmaster8551 those are also good I like grind such an underrated song
@@arnoldcox9128 grind kicks ass, love the heavy ass riffs in that one too. Damn good song and album opener
My favorite album opening song of all time
I don’t have to imagine it-I bought it the day of its release. I smoked a fat joint with a friend of mine before we put it on my stereo. I had the volume cranked, and I was sitting in a rolling office chair. As you might imagine, this ended up with me, INTENSELY startled, launching myself backward across my room into my bookshelf, which dispensed 8 or 9 kilos of books onto my cranium. My pal died laughing.
I’m 45 years old and graduated high school in 1995. Chains were so bad ass. The 90’s had the best music in every genre period.
Great song , Great band & the late & great Layne Stayley on vocals 👌
That's how you kick off an album!
Guitarist Jerry Cantrell said he wrote THEM BONES about "mortality, that one of these days we'll end up a pile of bones." He told RIP magazine in 1993: "THEM BONES is pretty cut and dried. It's a little sarcastic, but it's pretty much about dealing with your mortality and life. Everybody's going to die someday. Instead of being afraid of it, that's the way it is: so enjoy the time you've got. Live as much as you can, have as much fun as possible. Face your fear and live. I had family members die at a fairly early age; so I've always had kind of a phobia about it. Death freaks me out. I think it freaks a lot of people out. It's the end of life, depending on your views. It's a pretty scary thing. THEM BONES is trying to put that thought to rest. Use what you have left, and use it well."
The drummer is Sean Kinney. He developed the heavy kick-drum early on in AIC's formation and that heavy kick-drum is the foundation of the AIC sound.
When Layne sang THEM BONES live, there were times he didn't do the 4 screams at the beginning but will do the screams in the middle. When they did their first KISS concert in Tiger Stadium in Detroit in 1996, Layne didn't do the first 4 screams... but the screams in the middle of the song.... it was the definition of screaming pain.
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's vocal resonance come out of Layne's body LOUDER than it did coming out of the speakers, Layne's voice was that powerful.
Several years after Layne’s passing Barrett got a call from an old friend in Massachusetts who had a couple of young children. While on a family drive through the countryside, he was playing the Above album when the last song on the album, “All Alone,” came on. One of the little ones in the back seat asked if there were angels singing on the song, a question that he relayed to Barrett over the phone. “Yeah, he was a certain kind of angel,” Martin said, “a dark one perhaps, but an angel all the same.”
Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine said Layne sang like an angry angel.
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 kept his humor and wit even to the end of his life.
Layne was on this earth for 34 years. In that time he wrote songs that gave a normal person insight into the mind and journey of an addict. The pain and depression he endured to write the most brutally honest lyrics a musician could write concerning his feelings on his own addiction and the emotional and physical strength he had to perform those songs live when all he wanted to do was curl away and lose himself in the drug haze I can’t imagine what it was like for him. He was hounded by the press about his addiction. He was ridiculed for his addiction. The music industry blackballed him for his addiction. The Grammys forgot about him when he died. As far as MTV and Rolling Stone were concerned he’s just another addicted singer. They don’t want to acknowledge his contributions to music.
I could say so much more, but in the end, it all boils down to: Layne Staley deserved better than what he received from the people around him who he thought mattered. He wrote about things with maturity and knowledge well beyond his years. He didn’t deserve to be turned into tabloid cannon fodder by the press.
mandatory “Love,Hate,Love - Live at the moore” suggestion, shit changes ur whole perception of layne staley as a vocalist.
It’s the first song on their Dirt album from ‘92. It definitely gets your attention. Dirt has now gone Platinum 5x 🔥
Try Don’t Follow. These dudes have crazy musical range. They do it all.
They are masters at harmonies 🤘
The entire video was filmed on a sound stage in Los Angeles in 1992. You can't shoot this in a real desert because the light refracts too much for the projections of predators on puddles
Opening song of the 'Dirt' album in 1992, it was inspired by death from drug addiction (He+++n in this case)... a very common occurrence amongst the Seattle youth back then. Jerry Cantrell wrote 'We die young' ... which was the opening song on the 1990 album 'Facelift'... which was also about seeing young drug dealers in the city who were likely to die from addiction.
The members of Alice in Chains knew about the drug culture because 2 members were using hard drugs and ended up in rehab by 1991... but it was futile. They would clean up for a while, and then get high again and relapse. A lot of the songs on 'Dirt' were about he+++n addiction... specifically the songs 'Dirt' ...'Junkhead' ... 'God smack' ... 'Hate to feel' ...'Angry chair' ... 'Rain when I die'...
Sadly, these songs were prophetic because singer Layne Staley would die from his addictions in 2002 and bassist Mike Starr (who is in the music video) would also die in 2011 😪
This song is fact, we all will end up a big pile of them bones
This was the 1st song from Dirt. It set the tone for one of the best albums ever created. Layne was so unique, he always had a different look.
Hard rock also has musicality to it too…
Most modern music dont. Which i found it funny on how people dont separate scream with high notes fry.
There look keeps changing because they’re transitioning from the late 80s to 90s which is 2 totally different eras in music!! Them bones is the late 80s but once you get to like “again” or their unplugged performances they’ve transitioned to “grunge” and are totally different. They were the founders of the “grunge” era too along with Nirvana and Pear Jam!
Ooooh!!!!
Pear Jam? I don't know who that is, but their music sounds very tasty!!
@@erickknutz5599 look up Pearl Jam “black” from MTV unplugged. It’s arguably one on unplugged best performances.
Great track from a great album. RIP Layne.
Enjoying how your diving into AIC!
Apparently prophetic Layne was found dead a few days after he died so he'd ended up as a pile of bones 😢😢
Layne died April 5th '02 but his body wasn't found till April 19th unfortunately
It would be more prophetic if it was Jerry instead since he wrote this entire song, Layne was just singing Jerry’s lyrics here.
This is badass to me they were more of a metal band then grunge way darker too your one of my favs keep rocking
Great reaction to this and your other AIC vids- I love that you’re going down the AIC rabbit hole as there’s not a bad one in the bunch!
I fell in love with Alice in Chains the first time I heard them back in 1991 (eek!) and was lucky to see them live in the early ‘90’s. They’re easily my favourite group from that decade and one of my Top 4 all-time fave groups (the others being Pink Floyd, Metallica, and Jinjer (if you haven’t listened or reacted to them yet, you’re missing out on a group/music that is truly amazing and special).
If you want your socks blown off by just how great a vocal beast Layne was in his prime, check out their performance of Love Hate Love (Live at The Moore) from 1990. Been listening to it for 32 years now and it still never fails to make every hair on my body stand up.
Thank you!!
What an audio/video blast this one is, a tremendous banger that freaks you out in a good way! For another video that you might like from them, do No Excuses, not quite as edgy as this but another great song from them, they have many. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
yes! Layne and Jerry blended so freeking well!
Great guitar solo. Jerry Cantrell was the best guitarist to come out of that early 90's Seattle rock scene.
I saw them on this tour front row and it was f’ing awesome!!!!
Great Reaction👍 I'm surprised you enjoyed that one. I only requested this song for 0:30 because it's halloween season and everybody's entitled to one good scare😅 btw how glorious is Laynes beard?😂
Takin back! My intro to AIC🤘🏽🤘🏽 1992 feels like yesterday! You rock
Maddy, I love Alice in Chains , great reaction!
Yea...I wouldn't read to much into those lyrics. They are mainly just a vehicle for the great music. Those lyrics are just an age old message: "Life is short", "You only live once," "Here today gone tomorrow" etc.etc.
Great song choice to react maddy
Definitely my favorite band from that era and my favorite song, thanks!
You the man Jordan!!
Love your reaction journey Maddy!!!
You should search for the outtakes for this video. Layne is so funny in them.
The song Your decision is a must listen to.
Beard braid with the beads in it was truth❤

Facts
You never suggest Alice In Chains without it being the unplugged versions. You ruined her first impression with air guitar and lip synching. Way to go man.
