RIP Layne...One of the greatest front men of all-time...
His talent will NEVER be matched again. I've been a vocalist a long time, and I still can't get his vocals or Cornell. Frustrating but shows their greatness
And singers
I remember when he died it barely got a quarter of a page on Rolling Stone.
Don’t forget Mike Patton
@@RolandDeschain1 Crying ass shame considering the BS that the RS magazine covers nowadays.
One of the best singers whoever existed.. RIP Layne
“Dirt” best album ever made
@@elodizdarevic7969 Facelift too!
EVER
I love Cornell but Layne was hands down the best vocalist of all the grunge bands coming out of Seattle at that time and, arguably, one of the all time best in rock, period. Gives me chills every time I hear him sing. RIP.
Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam was amazing too and super unique.
Cornell is the better overall singer, but Laynes style is untouchable. It’s unique, real, powerful and raw. I like both bands but aic is just better.
Kevin from Candlebox is another
though it isn't grunge let me introduce you guys to Jeff Buckley...(i mean,if you guys haven't heard about him already) in my opinion he has one of the greatest vocals of all times
@@soakedbearrd I play this game in my head, which one would I bring back if I could only choose 1 and then I realize this is my head game so I bring back both.
Layne & Jerry's harmonizing together was amazing
He sang with his SOUL I miss that brother
Why is there not a freakin "Love the shit out of this" button? Lol
😂😂❤️
I think its officially the thumbs up next to your name
Nutshell, Rooster, Rain before I die, No Excuses, Down in a Hole, Man in a Box, Would?, and Them Bones!!! Best grunge band EVER!!!
I would like to add Junckhead, I Stay Away, and Grind to the list. Let's be honest, they need to just listen to every AIC song.
Got Me Wrong
@@Pecan3.14 I agree. Alice in Chains is a great rabbit hole to dive down. They definitely had the soundtrack through my most formative years growing up
My 2nd favorite Grunge band behind Soundgarden. I've always liked Cornell's vocals and writing better, but Layne and Jerry harmonies together are something special.
Where the hell's all the mad season suggestions?!
Alice in Chains is one of the most unique sounding bands you will ever hear. When you hear his voice, you know instantly who it is.
Layne's relationship with the mic stand is pretty legendary. He was known for grabbing on to that thing like he's holding on for dear life and just belting his shit out.
one of the best things about him, intensely holding the mic as he perfectly hit those notes what a legend
Lane Staley was an amazing singer. The harmony between him and Jerry Cantrell (guitar) are an entire experience. Any AIC song is worth a listen
Layne*
@@daniellevitoriaa840 really? That’s the hill you’re gonna fight for?
As a kid growing up in the Seattle area through the grunge era, Alice in Chains always stood out to me. It was a really sad day when we lost Layne. He was truly one of a kind
Yo Trevor me too. I'm sure we saw many shows together and I still have the stubs to prove it. Did you ever catch Gruntruck? How about BOT? I saw Alice record some of their first stuff at my friend's studio in Issaquah. The called it tree fort studio.
It’s sad layne died ten years as a musician before he died as a person
@@Ogt92 grunttruck was amazing!!!
My first intro to Alice in Chains was at one of many 80's and 90's Bumpershoot Festivals. They played on the 'Rock' stage beneath the Opera House, as a metal head i didn't know what to think about them. They grew on me though. Someone posted five or so songs from that set on youtube.
"Rain when I die" is a must if you liked this one...
This!
a true classic. but they got a few so its hard to put your finger on one
I grew up going to AIC shows. The power that came from this man's body through his voice is truly amazing. Hail Seattle!
Easily one of the most stunning masterful live performances ever recorded. The raw power of Layne's voice is unmatched.
Definitely listen to some tracks from their album "dirt".
Yes, or just listen to the whole album dirt. You won’t be disappointed
I’d say “Would” to start. If you had to pick one track of that album that you’ll probably get into I think it’d be that one.
All the tracks
The song dirt specifically
One of the best albums ever. Nobody could honestly argue against it.
Layne Staley puts so much emotion in his singing. Combined with Jerry Cantrell on backup/ harmony and guitar, one of the best groups of the genre
AIC lead singer Layne Staley had a tragic life... a heroin addiction that consumed his life & career. He passed away in 2002. The bassist Mike Starr was also ousted from AIC in 1993 and lost his life to addiction in 2011.
agreed, Then HE DIES OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS!
I'm glad yall liked. Alice in chains are an amazing band.
"Rooster" and "Would" are my favorite Alice in Chains songs,
God am is my favorite 🙃
I feel like the unplugged version of Would? Is sooo much better than the album version I don’t know if it’s the acoustics or what
Should also check out Laynes side project Mad Season. With Mike Mcready from Pearl Jam and Barrett Martin from Screaning Trees.
One of my favorite albums ever!
The epitome of grunge. Dive in. You won’t be disappointed
epitome of grunge is Mudhoney. AIC started out on the metal, almost poodle metal circuit. Just listen to the last couple tracks off facelift....trash. But otherwise great band. Just not the epitome of grunge.
I’ve watched this performance probably 1000 times…never gets old and STILL gives me chills!! Layne was a monster vocalist!!!
Check out Alice in Chains: Rooster, Rain When I Die, Nutshell, Would?, Down in a Hole, I Stay Away, Bleed The Freak, Man in a Box, Them Bones, Angry Chair
Also check out their MTV Unplugged if you wants some Live performances.
I agree with this list. Nutshell they should do unplugged. Rain when I die and would are 2 of my favorites. The chorus of rain when I die Layne is amazing and Jerry's guitar just blends so perfectly.
If your gonna listen to nutshell you gotta listen the album version from jar of flies. Layne did alot better performances than mtv unplugged. Its just romanticised cause he was quite clearly dying. Without context it's not a sterling performance. But as fans we know he was one the greatest of all time, but his addiction wore him out and its shows in unplugged. Saying that I Do LOVE the mtv album, and 'Frogs' captures the whole feel of the album alot better than nutshell. Jar of flies: Nutshell is just perfect.
Down in a Hole fuck yeah!
@@experienceanimation217 Totally agree!
I would agree but I vote for Rooster first.
Alice in Chains Rabbit Hole! Let's go! Also check out "Chloe Dancer" by Mother Love Bone, another Seattle band. #RIP Lane and Andrew.
I haven't seen a mother love bone reactions that I know of wish someone would
YES Mother Love Bone!
Mother Love Bone is my favorite Grunge Band. Right behind them is Alice In Chains and Mad Season. I got a chance to see Alice In Chains in a real small bar in East Lansing in the early 90's. It was soooooo cool.
The guy reacting here really gets it. You can see he has some heartbreak & pain in his past and this song touched it.
The line "I live for you but I'm not alive" is one that really strikes home for me.
I love their song Them Bones but they got a lot of great songs. This is one of my favourite bands. Wish I could have seen them in concert. RIP Laine.
Layne Staley, Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder, Kurt Cobain and the often forgotten Mark Lanegan... Late 80's and 90's Seattle really put the light on amazing singers
Loved Layne's vocals. Powerful! Written by Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell, this song is about when you love and hate someone at the same, and all the emotions in between
Their will never be another Layne, a voice like no other. Keep them coming, love to see Lex in the moment.
Alice in chains is awesome, i highly recommend their song ''Would?'' r.i.p Layne Staley, one of a kind
i’ve heard this song literally thousands of times and it *still* gives me chills. Layne’s voice truly was a gift from the heavens 💜
Do every song with layne singing
Jerry Cantrell is one of my all time favourite guitarists, his solo album Degradation Trip is great too, he has a new solo album out soon I believe. Layne's vocals are just legendary RIP
One of my top 10 guitarists, and hands down best “grunge” guitarist.
You guys should react to…
Alice In Chains - Would?
🎸🤘
A little info on fry vocals, since y'all seem to be interested and like them: Fry vocals won't damage your voice if you do them right. It's when you force air through that you end up injuring your vocal chords. It took a lot of regular vocal training for me to unlock my fry, but when it came, it came out of the blue. I didn't even really focus on it in particular. Just started singing songs with the fry in them, and found I could sing/scream along without any strain. There are a lot of vocalists who unlock their fry this way, without specific training (like Tatiana from Jinjer). They just perform enough that it comes in. Main rule of thumb is that it involves no strain or pain. If you feel any at all, stop. There are instructors who teach fry vocals as well. Melissa Cross is a really popular YT vocal coach who is known for this. If you're straining doing screams, it's not the proper method and ya gotta watch out. Corey Taylor from Slipknot uses an improper method of screams (basically just full on yelling) and he's had to tone it down to save his voice. Beastly, but dangerous. It's just one of those techniques that clicks after a while. You can learn it along with regular vocal training, but it's best to get the basics of voice and breath control down first.
if you know his heartbreak and what this song is about it makes it so much more emotional. he is truly a LEGEND. my favorite vocalist EVER
This song is just about some girl he dated briefly, it's _not_ about Demri. If I remember correctly, he met Demri around '89 but didn't really start getting close to her until right around the time this was filmed actually. This would be right around the time he first tried dope, though I believe it's before that. But I don't think this song is about _serious_ heartbreak as much as it's just Layne venting lyrically through the eyes of a fictitious stalker/killer. Definitely *NOT* typical Alice In Chains subject matter.
Alice in Chains, Nutshell, MTV unplugged. You will not be disappointed, I promise. ❤️
Yesssss!!!
This^^^^^^
Nooo.. the 90 live from tokyo is the best version.. his lisp took over by the unplugged performance
Lotsa bands call themselves dark, but dark are AIC, my main 90's company, The Years of Decay as I call them ;)
Layne’s voice was just amazing! His and Chris Cornell’s were one of the two most powerful voices from the grunge era! Crazy how guys from that era like Layne Staley (Alice in Chains), Kurt Cobain (Nirvana), Chris Cornell (Soundgarden and Audioslave) and Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver) all suffered tragic deaths!!! Suicide or overdosed. And there were others from that era as well. Some called it The Grunge Curse.
Vedder predicted the future with his line "I'm still alive"
wow, I remember hearing this when it was released. CHILLS
Layne STALEY R.I.P. the dirt album is 🔥
I’m sure it’s come up in your recommendations but Pearl Jam’s “Black” MTV unplugged is a must watch.
Right, if you want emotion from your eyes and ears!
Yes!!! i was so bummed when the live stream got taken down. You guys gotta do a bunch of AIC songs
Alice is such a talented group. They have so much chemistry together and so much feeling and emotion in their music. Def keep deep diving, you won't regret it! RIP Layne & Mike
One of the cooler bands from the Grunge era, Brad's got some old man ears.
I assure you that you have never heard anything like it among the voices.
Diana Ankudinova's voice goes straight to the soul.
Among the reactionaries, Diana has long earned the title of queen of goosebumps.
Fallen in love with her humanity, her soul, her voice, her personality, her talent, humor, intelligence, courage, ... ❤️
Recommend making reactions to Wicked Game, Its Man's Man's Man's World and other
Diana Ankudinova 😊👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥🎉💫💯
There are a lot of great Alice in Chains songs (the entire Dirt album is amazing) but I would recommend Rain When I Die, It Ain't Like That, and Bleed The Freak next.
All fantastic songs
This is your best reaction to a song yet! I am so enthralled by your reaction and comments. This is one of THE greatest live performances by any band ever. Layne's voice was one in a billion. Most vocal coach reaction channels are floored by this performance - say he does things vocally that defy biological science - stuff that cannot be taught, just pure grit and soulful talent.
Lex picked up on the "blues" vibe. She is SO brilliant in her music ear and analysis. She mentioned Sabbath and made a comparison - that was spot on!!! Chains was heavily inspired by Black Sabbath which in turn had a lot of Blues influences in their melody and bass riffs. Then add the passion and soul tearing emotion from Layne's vocal talent and you can definitely get a blues undertone. Like Brad said, you can feel the pain in his voice. And like Lex said - when that sounds and feels genuine, it makes for the best music.
Alice In Chains is one of my all time fav bands and certainly my fav of the "grunge" bands. They had so many great songs and legendary performances.
THE BAND, in my humble opinions. I heard them for the first time, when I was 23 and realised that I had never listened to music before that.
My favorite is Nutshell. You can check their live unplugged MTV version - it is legendary at this point.
Apart from the starting riff this is not a song that I particularly like but I have to agree that his performance is one of the best ive seen, Layne was amazing.
And pls guys, try to do some more Audioslave/Soundgarden. My requests would be Soundgarden-Fell on black days or Audioslave-Show me how to live
Layne Staley wasn't a sociopath, he was just writing what he thinks a love song written by a sociopath would sound like.
The whole AiC live at the Moore concert was awesome!!! Beautiful, chilling and legendary!!!
The guitar player is singing too. Cantrell and Staley harmonized like bosses.
Definitely need to check out the MTV Unplugged Alice in Chains and also Pearl Jam!!
soooo this was this first time for you two and AIC… i apparently got into the channel late for you guys. I’m trying to catch up. But as i have mentioned in other videos, Lex really seems to enjoy this type of music. Brad gets more into the lyrics and meaning. It seems like a great combo not just in your life, but channel as well.
He had my favorite voice of the era. He had so much power and expression in his voice. Add in Jerry with backing vocals for a lot of songs and it was quite beautiful....Also love that really bluesy feel
If you want to see some great AIC, watch the MTV Unplugged songs.
Just found you guys, that was an awesome reaction. MTV unplugged Alice in Chains would be awesome.✌💜🎶RIP Layne
Jerry's guitar made love to to Layne's vocals. They played off of each others notes as good as any lead guitar and vocalist ever.
Rest Easy Layne Staley, one of the best damn singers of all time, his voice sounded like 1000 in one.
One of the greatest bands ever… RIP Layne so many great songs from Alice In Chains!!!
Welcome to the Grunge Era. He is a beautiful Singer and the Band is talented as well. Love them. Listen to Man in the Box. The first single released and played in heavy rotation on classic MTV
Thank you for this! Alice in Chains was one of the most unappreciated bands of the 'grunge' period but (in my opinion) one of the best. Lane spoke from his soul about his life and sadly many parts of his life were dark and sad. He was such a passionate and incredible singer/performer. Even at his worst he would blow you away. Then there's Jerry who is... basically... a guitar God. Please do more.
The amount of vocal talent in the grunge genre was astounding.
Been a fan since 1989. The BEST vocalist in rock EVER! Layne Staley rest easy. M.S. R.I.P.
Just wait to you discover their song. Would. And, Rooster.
Seen the new Alice in Chains with Korn in August 2019. At Darien Lake, NY.
Go down the alice in chains rabbit hole for sure!!!!! Some of my favorites are Nutshell, Would, Rooster, Man in the Box, Down in a Hole, Them Bones, and Rain When I Die!! RIP Layne
Gotta watch their unplugged version of "would". Layne was bit at his best and at his worst. You can see it in his eyes/face.
I agree with Lex the website Genius saying it’s from the perspective of a sociopath is wrong. The band never called themselves sociopaths, the writers at genius did.
It is about an unhealthy relationship. No one should make anyone person there world, but when you’re in love especially in the beginning you feel everything so much.
I was glad genius interpreted the line about peeling her face that way, I knew it wasn’t literal but didn’t understand it, but I like the explanation they came up with. The only time I ever heard of violence from Layne was when he punched a fan who kept punching the other audience members and giving the Nazi salute. You’ve got to love Layne for punching a violent Nazi.
You're so spot on with your music interpretations most of the time Lex. Very intuitive :)
RIP LAYNE AND MIKE STARR, they may be gone but music definitely lives on. 30 plus yesrs ive been listening to AIC, even started playing there music because jerry is unreal on guitar, and i feel aic running through my veins when im playing🎸🎸🎸🎸
Layne was so special
Shout out from south Louisiana, love y’alls videos. Alice in chains is one of the only two grudge bands i listen to. The other corrosion of Conformity. 🤘💀🤘
Thank y’all so much for finally getting around to AiC!!! In my opinion, the grunge era gets no better than them! Their entire MTV Unplugged performance is one of the best I’ve ever heard. Laynes voice will always stand the test of time! Much love you two!
Definitely "Man in a Box" and "Them Bones".... Those are two of my favorites, but they have a ton of GREAT songs!
Nutshell mtv unplugged amazing!
I love seeing other people's reaction to hearing laynes voice. He was such an amazing singer and really made you feel the emotions deeply. This will always be my favorite band and layne will always be my favorite lead singer.
This guy is absolutely my favorite male vocalist of all time. Please go down that rabbit hole. You will love all of it
Alice in Chains was legendary. Such a sad ending for an amazing artist. The industry classified them as "Grunge Rock". Any song you check out will be awesome. ML&R
I love how she is definitely a metal head at heart
This whole concert was awesome!
Lex giving big Gwen Stefani vibes when imitating Layne!
Dang, Lex has some vocals too! I love her reactions when Layne's vocals kick in - vocal frizyyyyy! lol
One of the few bands in history that gives me chills when i watch them perform live. Their unplugged album is one of the best live shows ever created.
Brad would love Nutshell by them but anything off of the Dirt album is amazing.
Lex you were definitely born with a rock/metal soul!
Girl you make me laugh! Your rendition of Layne was awesome :)
Great band!
peace
Alice In Chains: The best of all of the Seattle bands.
One of the things that made Grunge so special was the raw emotion and honesty. Growing up in the 90’s this music made me the person I am today and it honestly saved my life.
AIC were never 'grunge', something that never really existed anyway, it was just a marketing label. However' AIC were most definitely in the metal camp before the so called grunge term ever surfaced, later they mellowed a bit, more in the hard rock genre. At first every band from Seattle was labled as grunge, hell they even tried to do it to the Melvins, and later just about any guitar/bass/drum rock band got labelled as such.
@@namegoeshereorhere5020 lol I don’t need a lesson about Grunge thanks. I lived it.
@@mercurymachines4311 Obviously you do, lived it as well.
If you like the "intimacy" feel of this song I highly recommend watch Eddie Vedder go deep into the zone in "Pearl Jam - Black (MTV Unplugged). Imo it has to be one of the greatest live performances from the Grunge era.
Amen
Facts!
Hi, grunge songs are often about inner suffering and introspection. Great music and great lyrics but with a dark tone.
This song is about getting cheated on. The immediate pain and deception, followed by anger and the twist of love. I fucking feel this song in my bones and soul.
Love this vid because I feel like you felt the emotion. Whatever the words. Awesome vocal performance. You both got that. I like the breakdown.
AIC is the only band that did not create any bad songs you normally would not listen to. You will listen and feel all of their tunes!
Laynes vocals are unique and perfect
Layne is LEGENDARY. His body of work speaks for itself
Layne and Jerry were gods together, man by themselves
I really appreciate the dynamics in this song. I also really like the unconventional sparse beat and how they filled it with the music and vocals.
Never really thought about it before but what Brad was saying about how Layne was treating his mic like his lover reminds me a bit of Jim Morrison too. But yeah the richness of Layne's voice from deep to fry is so damn good. Def recommend checking out more of their stuff for sure! Brad would really like their MTV unplugged set 😉
