      Idk I think they’re all at an equal playing field. Bc it’s heavy music but they all added a pop-esk rhythm sections to their songs, lyrics are more of a laymen’s reality based, also not saying these bands couldn’t be technical in guitar playing but that’s the best part the guitar parts in every grunge band is usually not so technical and it’s usually some what sloppy. (I’d say with the exception of Kim from Soundgarden and Jerry, here) and even then they both kept things fairly simple most the time. It just really gives this era of music a sense of longevity bc you go back and listen to 70’s, 80’s and early 2000’s stuff and it never sounds as fresh or new as “grunge” music

      Couldn’t agree more, I never get tired of hearing them, Layne’s voice was literally like a musical instrument, the way he could hold his notes with that effortless distortion, so many people who have never had the great pleasure of listening to a band that in my opinion were the top of their class, I love Nirvana and who doesn’t but in my opinion Alice In Chains were above and beyond them, such an original and unique sound, especially some of their intros, you know it is Alice In Chains immediately when it comes on, I have a teenage daughter who has gotten into Nirvana and I told her “that is great but you need to hear Alice In Chains, they are the best of Seattle grunge and please, no Pearl Jam” it might be an unpopular opinion but I can only handle a very small amount of Pearl Jam.
      RIP Layne, you truly were a master of your craft and I will do everything possible introduce as many people as I can to Alice In Chains.

    This video was recorded in March 96, only 1 month before the MTV Unplugged show.
    On this video, Layne's body is thin, his face emaciated, and he wears gloves (in order to hide the needle marks).
    If you compare with the Grind video (recorded in October 95) or the Mad Season shows a few months earlier, where he still looked quite healthy, the change in Layne's appearance is unbelievable in such a short lapse of time...

    I hate that we missed out on hearing new music from Layne and I hate that Layne missed out on life. I never met the man but his music and lyrics has helped me through many tough times in my life and will most likely help me through many more in the future. It's amazing how much time has gone by since the early 90's. Enjoy life to the fullest and live it how you want to live it. It's your path and you will have many choices and each choice will change everything.

Far from glorifying ANYTHING about drugs! He knew he had f*cked up! He was honest and raw about his struggles. Ever hear of if one person can be saved at least the person who died didn’t die in vain? He died alone in his very modest condo . He didn’t keep performing for the money ! Especially after he was so thin and frail and had lost his teeth. I get so sick of people bad mouthing him! If you aren’t a fan of the music, why be on here? To make yourself feel better by bad mouthing a dead man ? Please 🛑!

    I think Layne is very beautiful in this video, and during Mad Season's live performance at the Moore in 1995, and during MTV Unplugged in 1996. Even though he lost a lot of weight and teeth during his final years, I think Layne still remained very beautiful inside out. Just listen to his final interview during Rockline show in 1999. Layne is such a sweet guy with a great sense of humor and very intelligent too. I can't talk about beautiful Layne in the past because he continues to live through the amazing music which he made

    I think I deciphered what this song actually means. It's about Layne calling himself out with how he his handling the situation with Demri at the time. She was in and out of the hospital, on heroin, and Layne was paying for everything and still held out hope that she would get better and sober. He would over extend himself to her, because he still had that hope. But she makes a fool of him again and again, and he has a weak will when it comes to her. But no matter how much he wants her to get better, it won't heal her heart (which she had a very bad heart condition because of her heroin usage). And it eats him up on the inside. Layne was so very self aware in his lyrics and I love that about him.

      I listened to Jar of Flies constantly after my Mom passed away when I was 18 and mildly suicidal while self harming. It came out Jan 94, and she died in October 94. Their songs had such sadness/pain, I felt if they could feel such despair and survive, then so could I. Their music really helped me hang in there.
