Jerry Cantrell is just one of the most down to earth, humble and kind rockstars we have . The music he made with the band back in the day and now will forever have an enormously deep emotional impact on lovers of good music. Grunge never died… Jerry is still alive
Jerry. U, and all of alice on chains mean more to ppl than u will ever admit. I still Actively listen to alice in chains alot. It always spoke to me, and has been a big part of my life. Layne had a voice of a angel, and we will always love him. But you kept everything together. Stay lucid, And keep it coming. Love you guys, u all Ooze talent. be proud of what u built.
If Cantrell isn't on your top list of guitarists....he should be. Every time I hear a song from them it brings me back to where I was when it came out. Listening as i'm older now you gain an even better appreciation for it too. 🔥
I was just listening to your music tonight at work and educating the youngsters. FYI they were like wow this is way better than anything that's put out nowadays
Yes it means the world to have extremely deep songs that you can relate to and not only that to be able to view Jerry and Layne's work over the years. There's no misses with them.
AiC will always mean a lot to me. Jerry is amazing. His solo work and everything he did in AiC with Layne was incredible. Life is complicated and Layne would love to have heard the way Jerry kept the band alive after the hiatus. "It still means something to people" is a true understatement.
Alice & chains as far as I'm concerned I thought only one band reached the pinicle zeppelin , Then in 1989 Jerry Cantrell was discovered changed the game forever this music is from the heart like no other . PERIOD !
My Momma introduced me to Alice In Chains when I was very young. She uses music to convey her emotions. Their lyrics makes us feel like we found a secret language to speak to each other. I will forever feel respect and immense love for this band of brothers.
Jerry, you are Soo under-rated for one of the most talented musicians on the planet!!! Don't ever question if fans are still into your music! Alice In Chains is still # 1, Soo many years later!!! NOBODY will ever beat the perfect Melody of you & Layne!!! Appreciate you moving forward after Layne's death. Hopefully, he has re-connected with Demri ! He deserves happiness after blessing all of us with years of Amazing music!! Keep rocking forever brother!!🤟👍😎
I know it's only one song in the AIC catalog and that it gets mentioned a lot as a favorite, but I gotta say - I'm a vet and I work with veterans for a living as well. 75% of the vets I serve are Vietnam vets. "Rooster" puts a lump in my throat EVERY time I hear it. Especially the youtube video with the intro. / interview. AIC / Jerry - you absolutely define music as the emotional experience that it should be. Thank you for the story about your father as well as every other song that you've written.
Jerry Cantrell is the man for me. He just doesn't know it yet....love this guy and Alice in Chains will forever be the pinnacle of great majestic and raw music that changed a generation for the better and continues to do so.🌟 💛🎸💛🌟
❤ last night was the final stop on the tour in our mutual hometown of Tacoma, Washington. The love in the crowd was magnificent to behold, and Jerry’s respect for his fans was very very evident. He’s a nice person, and I had the honor to meet him❤️ it was a wonderful show. The mix was awesome and the event was heartfelt and quality. thank you Jerry Cantrell you’re a wonderful genuine person maybe next time I’ll get my photo taken lol❤
My favorite band since I heard Man in the Box and solidified it for history after Jar of Flies. I will be rocking AIC till I no longer walk God's earth. You are appreciated Jerry, thank you for all the music!
Your songs are touching, meaningful, and eternal, as are all songs from the greats. More than "something." And true a sound created by a unique vortex of heavy to give voice to stone cold rhythm and melodies, incredible songwriting. Rock on!
Hearing "WOULD" for the first time was up there, with Eddie playing Eruption for the first time. It was a sound I never heard before and it made my hair stand on end. In fact it still does,
I'm still a fan of bands(like korn,disturbed,godsmack) that are still making music but many haven't kept their sound at that level that made them so awesome. Alice in Chains and Jerry though, are still making music at that same level that made them so great.
I’d say as soon as Jerry Cantrell opened his mouth and starting singing that was their sound. As awesome a guitar player he is, his vocal harmonies set AIC apart from the rest. So humble but absolutely at the top of the ‘grunge’ food chain.
Finally got to see Jerry in March. After COVID and all the other ridiculousness of the past few years, that was the most soul-soothing experience of my life. Can't imagine how the Alice show in August is going feel. Jerry and Alice are one in a million, accept no substitutes!
Alice in chains is the pinnacle of rock and roll, every song froze a memory in time , hard to believe it was thirty years ago when I heard Aic for the first time.
A.I.C. has meant so much to me since I was first introduced to your sound in July of 1991. I sill build my stereo equipment around band's like yours. God bless Layne Staley. Big shoes to fill!!! I love to cover Angry Chair & would. Keep going!!
God I absolutely adore Jerry.... He is still such an entree' "licking lips loudly." But on a more serious note, I would have to say I play Alice in Chains or his solo stuff on a weekly basis.
Can Confirm. Alice in Chains is for me , the best band of my lifetime , and i think i have pretty good taste .NOBODY has come close to the family Jerry speaks of and the tragedy he and Sean have had to face. And STILL, no band comes close . How many bands with unique frontmen manage to thrive without them … Zero ! It is as it shall be . Layne said so 🫶 Love you forever AIC and JC
I’m finding it’s a process finding your soul song within . I’m not ashamed of my journey either even though it’s fraught with angst and frustration. Did I just write lyrics for my next heart song? “frustrated brain”
As for ALICE AND CHAINS ⛓️ I never really thought that they were a grudge band but just a badass heavy rock band I will always love this band they have there own sound like no one else had they sound very original I haven't heard anyone sound like these guys that's what is so special about them guys keep making music your music is very inspiring
Jerry's riff's. Layne's vocals. seans drumming mikes bass. without any of it. the world would be a much much darker place. for me these guys mean more to me than ill ever be able to explain
He doesant. He is a very humble cat. He Is just one of those guys that do what they do best, and remain critical of themselfs, even after success. The whole band, just blended well together, And their ideas were magical. Are magical, and I'm super glad I was introduced to their music early. All of their albums were awsome. Sap was a favorite of mine. And grind. Very powerful music. There will never come a Day were I say, hmmph, Alice is out of my Playlist!! ....
I'm convinced the powers that be have Layne fronting their own super group with Hendrix on lead, Entwhistle on bass and Bonham on skins. Holy fuck that would be an amazing lineup check me the fuck out I want to go check that out!
What needs to be clarified when Jerry said" It was a sound unlike anyone else" meaning it was a sound unlike anyone else back then or ever will sound like.
Jerry Cantrell is the absolute best!! So glad I was able to see the Brighten tour as it rolled through. The best show I've been to in years! 💖 Thanks for the music Jerry! See you in October #aic!!
I've never been to a band in person it's time to start living more and enjoy the world 🌍 gona be takeing guitar lessons soon and save money and buy his amp
Alice in Chains is my favorite band. To say it means something, is a massive understatement.
Seriously !!! My first favorite band has yet to be replaced !
Agree 100%
Check My Brain and Your Decision are every bit as amazing as the earlier stuff with Layne. Layne would have loved it. ❤️ ✌️
Alice has been my favorite band since 1990. Over half my life. I'm 51. HOOKED from We Die Young to All I Am.
Agreed!
If by "something" you mean A LOT, then yes Alice In Chains means something to people. To me, it means a lot.
Yes, that's what I meant.
Yesssssss
definitely A LOT !
i agree
Me too... Means a lot
Jerry Cantrell is just one of the most down to earth, humble and kind rockstars we have . The music he made with the band back in the day and now will forever have an enormously deep emotional impact on lovers of good music. Grunge never died… Jerry is still alive
I heard he is a prick from a few people who knew and worked with him.
Very articulate and wise man who has learned from his trials and tribulations and become a better person
agree
AIC continues to mean more to me at 37 than 17. The music continues to age like a fine wine. I can only hope to see them live someday.
You owe it to yourself to see them live. They still sound great live and Will is an amazing vocalist.
They are fucking awesome live seen then 3 times in 3 different countries. They really are like a fine wine haha
Go see them!!!! On tour now can't wait Michigan September 23!!!!!!
Love to hear Jerry in a good place. He deserves serenity and success.
AIC, Jerry, Layne, Wlliam, both Mikes, Sean will ALWAYS mean something for me, FOREVER 😎
Jerry. U, and all of alice on chains mean more to ppl than u will ever admit. I still
Actively listen to alice in chains alot. It always spoke to me, and has been a big part of my life. Layne had a voice of a angel, and we will always love him. But you kept everything together. Stay lucid,
And keep it coming. Love you guys, u all
Ooze talent. be proud of what u built.
most underrated guitar player in the industry today
he’s pretty universally recognized as a great tbh
Saying people/bands are underrated when they clearly are highly regarded is a fantastic way to exemplify ones sheer stupidity .
@@wavesniper If you play guitar then you can say that, if you dont then shut up because you don't have a clue.
THE riff meister.
If Cantrell isn't on your top list of guitarists....he should be. Every time I hear a song from them it brings me back to where I was when it came out. Listening as i'm older now you gain an even better appreciation for it too. 🔥
I listen daily. New Alice,old Alice and Jerry solo. Yes Sir those songs are mine! Thanks for the awesome gift!!!!
Best band of the grunge era, still kicking ass!
I was just listening to your music tonight at work and educating the youngsters. FYI they were like wow this is way better than anything that's put out nowadays
One of my best memories of AIC was seeing them at Rocklahoma and Jerry’s dad came out on stage before he sang Rooster❤️
I'm jealous. Saw Nirvana but not AIC. What a show you were at!
Alice in Chains is everything. With Layne. With William. Always Jerry. Simply the best. EVER!
I agree. Layne would've loved the way Jerry brought the band back with Will Duvall. It's beautiful.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 I agree. Layne had a heart of gold to match his golden voice.
The most distinctive band of the last 30 years
It will always mean something to people. That is what makes it great art.
Hard to compare Jerry to others of his generation. Such a gifted songwriter who really just hit on something so unique. Such a pleasure!
Yes it means the world to have extremely deep songs that you can relate to and not only that to be able to view Jerry and Layne's work over the years. There's no misses with them.

I have changed a lot throughout my life but AIC has always been in my top 5 bands of all time.
I know it's only one song in the AIC catalog and that it gets mentioned a lot as a favorite, but I gotta say - I'm a vet and I work with veterans for a living as well. 75% of the vets I serve are Vietnam vets.

I've loved aic since the first time I heard them.
Got to see them at lollapalooza in 92?93?
Love them with all my 🫀
Jerry Cantrell is the man for me. He just doesn't know it yet....love this guy and Alice in Chains will forever be the pinnacle of great majestic and raw music that changed a generation for the better and continues to do so.🌟 💛🎸💛🌟

Definitely unique and it holds up. Stands the test of time.
Just was on his show at Israel, was everything I have ever imagined. Thank you Jerry!

Agreed!
This generation needs alice in chains even more than we did.
So many years ago and this guy still talks about the old days. Mother Love Bone, pre-Facelift, etc.
Ofcouse it does mr Jerry, even more now than you think… please never stop and come to Brazil, its about time!!
'Chemical Addiction' was the song that got their sound. I like that Will has transformed the sound just a bit but can still keep it AIC.
is that a demo?
AIC will always mean so much to me. It's definitely a part of me.
I’d say as soon as Jerry Cantrell opened his mouth and starting singing that was their sound. As awesome a guitar player he is, his vocal harmonies set AIC apart from the rest. So humble but absolutely at the top of the ‘grunge’ food chain.
Great interview, IAC was my favorite band as a kid…still listen today…I think my kid will carry the torch further…
Like I said before in person
Thank you for your music
It saves me♥️
Finally got to see Jerry in March. After COVID and all the other ridiculousness of the past few years, that was the most soul-soothing experience of my life. Can't imagine how the Alice show in August is going feel. Jerry and Alice are one in a million, accept no substitutes!
Absolutely the best can’t live a day without my AIC😊
Jerry is so cool and chill on top of being a genius. Super down to earth. He is doing exactly what he was meant to do, he found his purpose for sure.
Aic has been a big part of my life and all the ups n downs that come with it
I plan on seeing the band this next month and I’m so excited you guys are legends and the music really hits me
Great interview Jerry, Miss AIC and Layne and Mike
Jerry's laugh is just great
Alice in chains means something to me thank you for your music 🤘
Yes, it means something to many. Go guys. We are here for you ❤
Alice in chains is the pinnacle of rock and roll, every song froze a memory in time , hard to believe it was thirty years ago when I heard Aic for the first time.
i could go on for hours ranting about how much alice means to me and how i think they're the best band in the world
A.I.C. has meant so much to me since I was first introduced to your sound in July of 1991. I sill build my stereo equipment around band's like yours. God bless Layne Staley. Big shoes to fill!!! I love to cover Angry Chair & would. Keep going!!
Jerry is such a great dude. Always willing to happily recount the days gone by, and always honest about how life can be. 🤘
These two are awesome. Been into AIC since Facelift and Jerry still killing it.
One of the greatest heavy bands ever.
Most underrated musician of my lifetime and yes AIC means a whole hell of a lot!!
Seeing AIC this Fall. Can’t wait! Indoctrinated my sons and they are going with me. I am 58 and no other band means more to me than AIC. The best
Going in Raleigh NC! Can't wait.
Michigan in September!!!
@@paulaporter778 what a great experience last night at the show in Irvine California. They were fabulous
Just seen them in Michigan .. I was in heaven finally seen them at 58 yrs old!!! 👍🏻
Rock on brother!
God I absolutely adore Jerry....
He is still such an entree' "licking lips loudly."
But on a more serious note, I would have to say I play Alice in Chains or his solo stuff on a weekly basis.
Music is my refuge too

Jerry is awesome, AIC rules, It totally means so much to so many. I love the new music. I would love to hear died live.
Just saw Jerry in London was such a great gig
Was unreal
@@Chris-sh7kr did u go ?
@@Stacedog yeah bro, best gig I've been to
@@Chris-sh7kr it was the first gig I’ve ever been to. Blew my mind man the whole set
@@Stacedog I've been to many gigs and this was by far the best. So much energy, Jerry hasn't lost a thing since the early days
I’m finding it’s a process finding your soul song within . I’m not ashamed of my journey either even though it’s fraught with angst and frustration. Did I just write lyrics for my next heart song? “frustrated brain”
thanks for all you do Jerry. Love your stuff, the old stuff still good too! part of the life soundtrack
Jer is such a good dude.....
Has not changed one bit.....

They are pure grunge to me!
I still listen to AIC alot & watch the Unplugged show from time to time, I wish AIC continued success 🤘🏻🥰
Something. That's such an understatement, Jerry, I can literally only listen to AIC every day.
AIC will always mean something, all you have to do is listen to the lyrics.
He seems like such a good person.
Alice In Chains is forever legendary.
For real! Alice still means something to people !!! xoxox
Are we getting a 30th Ann. release on vinyl for Dirt!?
Legends forever 🌹
Right on Jerry! well said 🤘
I’m 25 and Alice has been my favorite since I first heard them bones in the street fighter 2 movie
Jerry And Tyler🔥🔥
Thank you
Jerry's riff's. Layne's vocals. seans drumming mikes bass.
without any of it. the world would be a much much darker place.
for me these guys mean more to me than ill ever be able to explain
Amazing gig in London 👍
Means ALOT TO THIS GUY AND ALWAYS WILL! MISS LAYNE
Jerry doesn’t give himself enough credit.
He doesant. He is a very humble cat. He

Argh ! Its like he doesnt know how much we love Alice In Chains !!
Thanks my dude
It means something to some folks but some of them song’s you wrote mean everything to others.
dont you run away, like you used to do... I fucking love alice in chains, top5 bands ever
you're god damn right it does!
Jerry for president
No hay una sola alma en este mundo con conocimientos de rock que no tenga absoluto respeto por este hombre.
I'm convinced the powers that be have Layne fronting their own super group with Hendrix on lead, Entwhistle on bass and Bonham on skins. Holy fuck that would be an amazing lineup check me the fuck out I want to go check that out!
Alice is still great, they from my neighborhood best band of the era
🌧️ when i die
JERRY FUCKING CANTRELL FOR PRESIDENT 2024. Jerry can even perform at his own inauguration ceremony.
What needs to be clarified when Jerry said" It was a sound unlike anyone else" meaning it was a sound unlike anyone else back then or ever will sound like.
Jerry Cantrell is the absolute best!! So glad I was able to see the Brighten tour as it rolled through. The best show I've been to in years! 💖 Thanks for the music Jerry! See you in October #aic!!
