Alice n chains and tool are my two favorite bands of all time
*Alice In Chains* not n'
Same
MatthewDoesMapping it's a mandala effect
@matt matt yeah what Layne did on the mad season album is a masterpiece
Same
Seeing Layne Staley, Les Claypool, and Maynard James Keenan in the first picture was rad.
And Kat Bjelland from Babes in Toyland
gastric demon lol
S. Iacomus fuck that was Les? Good eye
Ant that photo was taken in my hometown, Houston
@@RoiHibou I thinks so!
Maynard's looking like a member of some lost tribe who's trying to figure out if the photographer is friend, foe, or dinner.
Lmao
hahahahaha
Totally! Les Claypool had the same hair, circa 91 (Seas of Cheese era), a braided mohawk. Shame it wasn't in this pic haha.
No he’s just a regular capitalist, check his history
Like Chip Chipperson
RIP Layne Staley. You never should've passed away the way you did!
But yet you did and fookin life goes on
@@ZRAA1703 Shutup
@@ZRAA1703 go away
There was really no other end for that man...
What an iconic photo! Tool and Alice In Chains are two of my favorite bands ever. It's truly a miracle that Maynard, Adam, Justin, and Dany managed to avoid the pitfalls of stardom, stay clean, and continue to make incredible music decades later.
Maynard at the start of his show said to the crowd "I just watched Alice in chains and it made my fucking week"
Layne Staley, Kat Bjelland, Les Claypool and MJK all in the same picture?
Hell just froze over!
Layne and Menard singing Opiate was one of the best things ever. It's my fav song by Tool and knowing it was one of Laynes also is awesome.
Alice in Chains at Bumbershoot in the summer of 1990 was the greatest show that I've ever seen. A clueless 20 year old roaming Seattle. God damn the late 80s/early 90s were great.
I missed Bumbershoot that year, and also missed AIC/Soundgarden in Lake City that summer.
What a memory to have; sitting in between Layne Staley and Maynard James Keenan at a bar, passing notes between them. I cannot even imagine.
I was at the show in Hawaii in 93 with Primus, STP, fishbone, tool and Violent femmes.
Jason Ohl Could you hear Layne very well? He isn’t very audible in many of the recordings I could find
Damn that would have been a dream show!
Femmes...awesome.
Almost can't ask for a better line up and at that time!!
Flex'N
As a time goes by,i miss Layne more an more. R.I.P.
Love me some Maynard. I've been a Tool fan for about 23 years. Next month I'm finally going to see Tool in concert, for my first time.... & I'm so very excited. Wish I could've seen AIC.
Did you ever see them? Or did the concert get covided?
@@xannydave609 nope, no Tool for me!🤬😢 it was "covided". My husband recieved a refund for our tickets, so obviously it wasn't rescheduled, as we had hoped it would be. We actually had tickets to 3 concerts that were covided.... Tool, Faith No More (w/ Korn), & The Black Crowes. It sucks, but it's a miniscule inconvenience compared to what other's have experienced as a result of this hellacious pandemic.
@@candicebergstrom4490 so sorry
My wife & I were supposed to see them in Toledo on her birthday, we got China virus’d too😔 she’s been a pain in the ass ever since...🥺😩😔
Should have seen them like 23 years ago.
Primus, Nirvana, Alice in chains, and tool would be a mind blowing show.
That'd be absurdly epic..
Wouldn't mind throwin in Soundgarden or Stone Temple Pilots, maybe even Faith no More and it really couldn't get any better than that. I miss the 90s..
Vismund lmfao
I went to a show in Rio in 1993 called Hollywood Rock. It was Nirvana, Alice in chains, L7 and the red hot chili peppers. Good show.
I would literally kill to see that show. But, in an effort to not be ridiculously greedy, i will say I've gotten to see Primus open for Tool twice, so that was great.
Dude that’s all my favorites
I'll never forget seeing AIC and Primus headline Lollapalooza, with some little side stage bands called TOOL and STP thrown in, for good fun.
Not to mention walking into a giant dust storm on arrival mid day - which turned out to be dirt being kicked into the air by the crowd, swirled into a frenzy by Rage Against the Machine
That sounds awesome
What Maynad says about Staley at the end is too fucking sad. Helpless to watch your friend slow kill himself just crushes my soul.
Hey... He was murdered.
@@NaturalBornKelli Yeah, he murdered himself
Love the first pic. Listening to/watching Layne do Opiate with Tool is awesome.. would've been unreal to've seen it in person. I know drug addiction all too well and know the struggles Layne went through. Bein a heroin addict for over 20 yrs takes it's toll and I know for sure that if I was beyond financially comfortable,I'd be long gone. Sounds weak and pathetic but... that's addiction for you
how to you still shoot after 20 years arent all your veins gone?
@@Huxtee7 you will find one and a way. I had vein and tissue removed from my left arm due to complications from injecting in that arm. That wasn't even the worst issue I had and continued using with my right arm thereafter for another fifteen years before finally stopping at age 29. I am now 35 and have been sober for six years. It hasn't been easy but I can tell you nothing has been harder than what I put myself and family through trying to stay high for fourteen or fifteen years.
@@Huxtee7 it dont always go in the vein you can snort it too ya no.lol
Layne = Murdered.
I've seen Tool three times in the past four years. The first two times, Maynard wore riot gear and barely moved. But that last show in Indianapolis, he was just like he was back in the mid 90s. Like a much younger man, he was. But I would kill to have been able to see Alice in Chains at the same show. The real AiC, with Layne Staley.
Nobody gonna mention les claypool in the first picture.
Ronald Owens or Amy Poehler?
The Vinyl Truffle its Kat Bjelland from Babes in Toyland
The Vinyl Truffle deff Kat from babes in toyland
Thats what I kept thinking. The single best actual musician in that pic!
Jason Harper music is personal preference. No ones better than anyone when it comes to music since it’s all a matter of opinions.
One thing is for sure though and that’s they are all pretty talented
2 best rock singers in my opinion!! Layne, Maynard.
Aenima is my all-time favorite album.
Alice in chains second favorite band of all-time.
(Deftones #1) Tool top 5.
You have excellent taste. What bands are in your top 10?
@@wazzupdawg8442
STP.
AFI.
Soundgarden.
Live.
Karnivool.
Lacuna coil.
Wu tang clan.
Tool.
Alice in chains
Deftones.
@@wazzupdawg8442 if I'd make that list 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15..... year's ago
Tool would've been #1 no doubt.
Tool indeed opened my third eye. Their message of thinking for yourselves and questioning authority made me view life differently for the better.
I'd love to be buried with aenima in my coffin.
But Deftones have been so consistent throughout the decades and Tool being a group that comforts you while in darkness. I credit to them for guiding me outta the dark hole.
Today While not being so self absorbed.
I enjoy Deftones while not really knowing what their philosophy in life is.
@@armyofachievers8766You have excellent taste in music, that list is tight. Never got really into Lacuna Coil and AFI but i will definitely listen more closely. Rest is similar to mine top 10. I would add Pantera, Crowbar and Kyuss.
@@wazzupdawg8442 kyuss l. Yeah bruh.
There's actually video on the history of kyuss on UA-cam (not sure which channel). But Demon Cleaner I love. Don't quite understand the video but awesome song.
Layne , Kat Bjelland , Les and MJK. Great photo!
Omg. My metal heart be still. 🤘🏼
Layne and Maynard. Sigh.
My two favorite bands. Man I wish I could have seen them together.
Talk about a “Super Group”...Layne, Jerry, and the dudes from Tool would have been ridiculous!
It would have been a hell of a group. Both sounds mix together would sound so damn amazing!
especially something like 4¤ or Sweat
Imagine a trio with Layne, MJK, and Jerry singing in harmony
Don’t forget Claypool on the bass.
To think what could have been......🙁
Claypool lools like Matthew Mcconaughey in Dallas Buyers Club
Jacob Vieira Allright allright
Are you racecar driver? Be a lot cooler if you were
So you're saying Les looks like he has AIDS?
In True Detective too!
Omg he really does 😂😂😂😂
Literally My two very favorite bands...
Literally?

My two favorite bands and singers. I miss Layne, and I'm glad we get to keep Maynard.
Two of my favorite bands
I saw Tool for the first time in 93, on the side stage at Lollapalooza.
That was you??? I saw you dude!!
@@skottyo
Okay, what city?
Dude, I was so high..... Boston?
JEALOUS
@@lolalydon
😉
It’s amazing all these bands were connected. They’re all my favorite.
If these two men/ bands are your two favorites, we can be best friends.
I've always been your best friend.
Hello sir, Tool and AiC are my #1 and #2 respectively
For me Pantera and Alice In Chains are my 1 and 2, they would also party together so that’s cool
Need a plain white T shirt with that first photo on it. No words needed. No words can explain that picture.
That response Maynard gave to Loder was very touching.
Your channel is cooking buddy! Always love your content. Especially AiC and Tool, awesome day when we get them in the same video.
I click ANYTHING layne staley or mjk. Ur content on layne, aic, an mad season are awesome bro! Keep it coming...
Sorry to disappoint your beginnings of Tool on the road but Henry Rollins had Tool opening for The Rollins Band. Tool was on their “Opiate” tour. The 5 song ep they first put out. I saw the Tool/Rollins Band show at the original CBGB’s in NYC. That was summer of 1991. It was one of the best opening bands most of us ever saw that night. Talk to Henry. He took them on a club tour that summer with his band. I was close friends at the time with Chris Haskett , guitarist for Rollins. He knew they were amazing before they even had a major label
I choose to live.
Goosebumps
13th step is such a great album
Thats the one album I haven't explored fully yet, though I've heard Gravity and loved it. Never been a more appropriate time fr me to listen to it than now considering the concept.
@@Re-bl5sr do yourself a favor and give it a listen. Especially if you have been effected in any way regarding addiction
Thank you for covering all of these fantastic moments in music history! Love the content
ROCK IN PEACE LAYNE...💙🎶🎵
Recently visited layne's condo and damn it, layne could still be here! I wish he could have just slowed down enough to get his health back. I think as he got older he would have beaten his demons!
Tool was the best concert I have ever been to! Been to a lot of different artists and raves in 90-2000’s in dirty south!
Short and sweet video. Layne appeared to have an impact on several people. Both different singers and great in their own rights.
Hell yes🤟 Very cool video! Aug 30th baby!!!!!🎉🎉
I have friends and relatives that have went through the addiction crash and people always asked me to get involved with an intervention I always tell them the same thing if you're at work and a heavy piece of steel is falling dont try to stop it from falling just get out of the way.
The 2 greatest bands of all time
Love the LAYNE stories! Awesome! Love that man! Love Tool too! Thanks for sharing your story about passing notes lol! Lucky you!
Layne and Maynard were both very much a huge part of grunge and alternative with a lot of the best Alt. metal vocal lines i've ever heard coming from both of them
Nice job on this video, just the facts and relevant quotes/stories. Thanks for your efforts and for shairing!
These two have been my favorite bands for a while, and only recently have I realized some musical similarities between them. And even more recently I realized they were friends. That's cool
RIP Layne 20 yrs today.
I often have wet dreams about Maynard joining AIC
Les Claypool is everywhere. I don't think I've ever seen him not in a picture. Saw him in a wedding pic dressed as Mr. Krinkle.
2 of my favourite bands. 😍
Can't hardly imagine sitting between Maynard and Layne and them just silently present in the moment...
Les is is a legend aswell
Layne and Maynard. Two of the fucking best.
Another great video! Very interesting and informative as usual! Thanks! Happy Easter!!
That was excellent!
Northern Invasion '18 an amazing experience
I've seen footage of Layne w/ Tool. It's on UA-cam...
Drumlord420247 he’s talking about the show where Layne’s wearing a ski mask. The performance on the beach is the only one with footage
@@AngelRuiz-xq2ie Oh...ok. Thank you.
Both of these are probably the best bands in their categories
Love these videos brother! Thank you!
I'd love if you could do one on Nirvana's 1991 Dallas show? You may be able to find out more about it. 😁🙏
@Mark Gaiennie Yes indeed. The Bouncer fight show.
I was at the show where Layne sang Opiate while wearing the ski mask back in the day....one of my favorite concert memories.
KISW Rockstock, Kitsap County Fairgrounds, Bremerton, WA, 1994?
@@Fakename70 I believe so, if my fuzzy memory is correct.
Maynard has stated that it's not about "Engaging with the audience" and more about focusing on the sound. He doesn't stand front center stage because the drums, guitar, amps etc bleed out his microphone and vocals. Standing to the left and right of the drums gives the advantage for a better sound and show.
no it’s something to do with his eyes. I think he gets epileptic from the lights
The end hurts my heart.
There's a bootleg of Maynard and Layne singing together on a track called them bones or something
Those were the days damnit! Magical moments of the 90's.
Already know it gonna be awesome! My 2 all time favorite bands !
your everyday prick already heard each song at least 5 times lol , I loved it! Hope you like it aswell! Can’t wait for the vinyl release
Les-"You guys know any Isley Brothers?"
this short story made me subscribed to your channel with no hesitation. very interesting! need to know more about stories of actual rock stars but also the things we don't pay much attention that they are also human beings. thanks! :) keep it up :)
My 2 favourite bands of all time no question
imho MJK is the only one to ever do Man in the Box & Them Bones justice. just pure artistic genius, must listen! it can be found on ytube🤘🤘👌
He got the highs on Man In the Box really well
I was at that show in Hawaii. Such a great show.
Amazing content. Thank you
you're welcome
I discovered Tool at Lollapalooza in 93. Absolutely amazing.
YESSSS Couldn't hit "Like" fast enough.
I was at the Charlotte NC show that year. Awesome!
I love Tool. They are the reason I know that music could be great. Before the mid 90's I had only heard Hair Bands and old stuff on the easy listening and I always hated what I had heard. They educated me when no one else ever could.
I wonder if Layne was still alive all the collaboration he might of done with Maynard. There are alot of tool songs where Layne's voiced would of shined. Maynard seems like the type of person that Layne would get along with.
i remember seeing the 1993 lollapalooza tour. great drunkin times it was.
It’s crazy , prior to this knowledge I remember when i first got a car and I was wacked out on heroin I would drive around with no radio only aenima and the aic self titled album stuck in the disc changer. Those got me through long self deprecating trips .
Literally everyone tried to help Layne but sadly he was beyond help. All the tensions and animosity in AIC was due to Laynes drug abuse and frustration from within the band of him not getting help, not even from the financial perspective but as friends.
Kat is so awesome too such an awesome photo
I love the 13th step album, and It never really dawned on me that layne may have influenced it in some way... but it makes a lot of sense!
Good stuff. Thank you.
The early '90s was a great time for music.
mid 90's, too
I saw Maynard take the stage first with just Chris Cornell to play a Elvis Costello song to calm down a crowd that was nearly ready to riot, as they--we--thought the show might be cxled because of weather. After they did "Peace, Love and Understanding" as an acoustic duet, Tom Morello, Dave Navarro, James Iha, and Stephen Perkins all came on, and they played "Watching the Detectives," "Seven National Army," and "Ring of Fire," which with the extended solos and a couple extra choruses, went on for about 15 min. It was amazing, of course, but it still doesn't sound as cool as Lane Staley and MJK on stage together.
Great pic!!! RIP Layne
...but "Maynard" will always be one step ahead of the curve.....he was cursed(blessed) with artistic vision!!!!
This was good. Gave me goosebumps
If Layne and Maynard sang together it would be a thing of other planet
ua-cam.com/video/lPLiGmDn_BI/v-deo.html
This shit makes me feel old..... Music will never hit that magical moment ever again. It seems to be getting worse over time. Except for Tool of course. AIC should have called it quits after Layne passed in my opinion or at least change the band name.
Guess I'm not as dumb this week as I thought. I thought today was Layne and Maynard.
I don't think anyone will ever show pics from the show Layne did that he looked so bad. And I'm glad I much rather remember him as a beautiful soul who could sing his ass off.
Maybe a video about the relationship between Trent Reznor and Marilyn Manson?
Cocaine
First time I heard of Tool was at Lollapalooza in Mountain View California. They didn’t play on the main stage, the performance was on a side stage and I remember thinking that was weird. It was up close and personal though.
Maynard is the only human that has any business singing Laynes songs period
I was at that show in Somerset WI
Saw that 93 Lollapalooza in Philly, it was BALLS HOT! People were dropping like flies from the heat, it was like 107 degrees down by the stage, where I was. Tool saved the day, after RATM came out and didn't play, but stood naked, with the letters PMRC on their bodies, while guitars pumped feedback for their entire set time (probably 25 or 30 minutes). People were pissed & hot, but Tool came on next and played a blinder of a set, killing it! Fishbone, Arrested Development, Front 242, Dinosaur Junior, Alice in Chains and the headliner was Primus! What a show! I actually met Layne briefly, and was shocked that he was wearing jeans and a black leather blazer in oppressive heat!
Ticket says JFK site.They had torn down the stadium a short time before that gig.If you remember there was a cloud forming in front of the stage from everyone jumping up and down during the show.I stayed at the Holiday Inn on Packer Ave for the 2 days leading up the show and the night after the gig.I saw Layne on a elevator that was heading to the lobby.The door opened on my floor,My jaw hit the floor,He waved with just his pointer finger and smiled.The door closed and he was gone!! Yes it was hotter the hell that day.What a memory I have from seeing AiC in all their glory absolutely crushing it that night.
RIP Maynard Staley
