The dude who asked the question has it all wrong.
Near the end of the show the band had just finished their second last song of the night “Over Now”. When they finished the song Layne says in a sombre voice “Well...I think that’s it”, meaning that their set was finished. When Layne said that someone in the crowd started booing loudly, to which Layne jokingly shouts out “Hey, fuck you maaaan!!!” So it was clearly Layne who said that.
I don't have ANY idea how he didn't know this if he literally watched/listened to it more than once.
im watching unplugged right now and cant hear it. Maybe they censored it. Where can i find this clip?
Apple Music has most of the banter between the guys. Also I’m pretty sure Jerry was the person who said “Fuck you man” but I could be wrong.
@@seanfromyt4457 your right... it was Jerry, and i think it was lars who yelled out, don't quote me on that.. Jerry is also sugar coating that night wayyyyy to much. The end product was glorious, but the taping was a disaster. Layne started using again a week or two before the show because of the pressure from not playing together after a year and a half or so break and mtv starting to pressure. First real blow up was he showed up with the purple hair which he told no one about after mtv had the lighting all programmed. He then brought some of his own stash with him and used right before going on to calm his nerves. From that point, it went all downhill. Each song took an average 5-10 takes because he kept forgetting the words, till they finally set him up with the lyric sheets. If it wasn't for Jerry talking him through it, and Sean keeping everyone in the beat, it never would have made it to air. The mess up and re-start on Sludge Factory you see on the unplugged dvd is actually takes 7 and 8 of that one i remember hearing.
@@smahring holy shit... That means the audience had to go through 7-8 takes of the same song ? :o
I wish i could just hug you all, but im not gonna - layne staley
Definitely!
I’d take a hug from Layne Staley, he was such a kind soul
@@BigFrankieB me too
@@jessecuster5877 yeah but the bad part about that is layne was so into his drug addiction and depression he didn't want anybody touching him
I would've loved to have hugged Layne.
I love how much he loved Layne. I was very lucky to see Alice in Chains 3 times and Mad Season on NYE 1994.
The good old days when life was nothing but a party.
Wow. You are amazingly fortunate.
Holy shit man. Lucky!
Was Lanegan on stage that night with Mad Season? Would love to hear any memories you have of that era.
I never got the chance. I was like 2 years too young for all of it, unfortunately. 😔
“What’s my motivation here”- Layne Staley.
One of the best comments on MTV Unplugged period.
An Amazing man jerry is.
Sound like Yoda, you do.
The real situation is that someone “booed” them at the end because they said they were done and Layne says “Hey, fuck you man!” And then everyone laughs.
ah that makes! thanks
LOL Layne was hilarious
"What's my motivation here????"layne was a riot....😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
as a fan, this video makes me happy. you can tell from Jerry's expression on his face recounting the story, just how close he was with Layne.
Just watch this video, you can clearly see just how much jerry loved Layne and how much he meant to him and how highly he thought of Layne musically ua-cam.com/video/DOlfR-tHADk/v-deo.html
thankful for this band
Jerry "the LEGEND" CANTRELL
Jerry is one of the kindest human beings i have ever had the honor of meeting and knowing. He so selflessly three me in his truck one morning and dragged my ass off to a drug rehab program. Not before letting me finish my coffee and breakfast though. Then he would visit us guys at the sober living I ended up at and would jam with us amd take us to the Apple Pan in West LA for hickory burgers. Truly a kickass dude.
Jerry has so many memories and shows, but I love that his answer immediately is about his best friend. Miss you Layne every damn day.
Also, then they played Killer Is Me \m/
Seeing an older jerry breaks my heart i wonder what Layne would look like now
Amazing footage. Just finished watching JC in New Orleans
AIC was the best Seattle band in the 90s. Wish Layne was still here.
I always thought it was Layne yelling that jokingly to one of the dudes who’d booed after he’d said that the previous song they’d just finished was the last.
This guy Cantrell is a freakn beast!!
It was at the unplugged show ! But he said that often anyways.
He said: "I wish I could just hug you all , but i won't ! "
I love aic so much. The William Duvall albums as well. But I live suc&a similar life to Layne. I got 10 days sober off a 21 yr run. Well I have bits and pieces of clean time. But the sadness, guilt and lack of self worth runs thru my soul. I can also sing and play drums like Layne could. People think once the stuffs out your body it should be over. No it does something to your brain that never goes away. But I will say many people love me. I have never hurt anyone but myself. Meaning I've never fd anyone over. Bills and child support paid. The military fd me up. And no psychiatrist can help.
I think the military really fucked up every one of my friends that enlisted. Take care of yourself.
@@CharlesWillisBonsai thank u. I caught a habit in 2002-2003 on an aircraft carrier. I drove trucks. The fuel supplier was my connect off the Delaware coast. Worst hasty decision I ever made after September 11. I thought I was doing this Patriotic thing. Bunch of crap. Now I'm 41, disabled from spinal meningitis surgery, and no more short military hair. It's long and blue. I've totally distanced myself from those 4 yrs. I don't even talk about it with friends and family. My dad's the same with his 2 tours in Vietnam. He reminds me of the song the Rooster. I remind myself of the song junkhead.
You feeling any better now, brother? Blue hair sounds awesome. I hope you're doing okay.
If only they had performed Don't Follow like they were gonna originally do, but they cut the song because they wouldn't be able to do it properly from crying. That would have been the best song on unplugged in my opinion if they had actually done it.
"From crying"?
Prob "First Try" Not be able to do it first try; I think it's a moot point honestly Don't Follow is a fucking fantastic song Killer Is Me Is better and here's why because it never received an album; Don't Follow Is appropriated by its inclusion on JOF; Without Unplugged KIM would never have surfaced Don't know that Jerry ever played it again;
And Consider Nirvana three years earlier; for reasons not including run time MTV opted to NOT include "Oh Me" from Televised screening and Subsequent DVD releases at least as far as I remember only ever saw that song on Uncut Version
That wasn’t a fan I don’t think. I think after the song “Over Now” Layne says “I think that’s it.” The crowd starts kind of booing and Layne responds with a jokingly “Hey, F**ck you, man.” If yo go back and listen to it, it kind of sounds like Layne, but it’s just my opinion... I could be wrong.
It was Layne. I'm suprised that guy that claims he liked it so much doesnt know that.
Yea it's definitely Layne. It's on the dvd too.
Guy talking to jerry such a lick
Out of all the questions you could ask jerry Cantrell you ask him THAT!? 🤦♂️
I think it was Layne who said f you man. It sounds like his voice
I know what he's talking about. I always thought it was Sean or one of the band who said it but someone definitely said, "Hey fuck you man.".
Let him play you are disrupting his concentration poker is no joke lol.
Crash test dummies, their legendary mtv set
I love Nirvana's Unplugged and AIC's, I think they're the best, tied for 1st place.
It was jaymz hetfield whom shouted
You definitely here someone in the crowd at the end of Over now on the Unplugged album say "HEY FUCK YOU MAN" then Layne says "alright one more" then The Killer is Me is born.
Misleading title but still a sick clip
Man Shanna moakler was built by God himself. She’s amazing
Not better than Nirvana unplugged. They're close, but that last track Nirvana did...the 'Pines' Leadbelly number... immediately iconic and stratospheric...soared up to the stars, and then came down flaming twice as fast, twice as brightly, impacting and lodging itself deep into the psyche of the zeitgeist, forever.
There is no matching number by AiC, unfortunately. Both are spell binding and culturally vital, but AiC was a a little loose, a little sloppy, a little off their best. It was well known at the time. Still amazing, but Nirvana and in particular KC, were firing on all cylinders.
Crash Test Dummies had no proper unplugged on MTV, sadly. Maybe some Canadian version, but not on MTV, I'd have been right there, as I have loved that band since first hearing Ghosts That Haunt Me. It was not always easy. In fact, it was damn near impossibly painful, from Give Yourself a Hand missteps to that shit Christmas garbage to the pitifully bad Puss in Boots. Some solo gems from Senior Roberts in between projects, but all albums after the mediocre Worms Life were largely torture. Unlistenable, self parody type shit. Baffling.
Until Songs of the Unforgiven, which immediately forgave all their ugliest, pompous musical sins. Their finest post 1994 work, right ahead of 'Ooh La-La."
666 likes. I'm gonna leave that right there. But let it be known that I like this video
I would have asked Jerry what the lyrics and context of that weird interlude thing he does
“The senator don’t like young women he prefers young boys in leatherrrrr”
Or whatever the F he said me and my buddies always thought that was weird.
Why Cerry Jantrell 🎸, wears This Cap 👒
My fav part of the unplugged was when Layne says "I think this is the best show we've played in three years!" and after a pause someone replies "Layne, this is the only show in three years." lol
That was his sense of humor. He said it in jest.
That was Jerry who replied, it was a great back and forth, good seeing them find some humor during a really tough time for them band and it’s memebers.
Can I get this song/time please? that sounds hilarious 😂
@@Alex_Penjamin after heaven beside you
@@puppetmaster8551 it was actually sean who replied to layne.
Proud of Jerry. God bless him man. Just tryna play some poker and he’s gotta recall memories of the end of his band. Sometimes we forget how fuckin dark and painful this band was
I don't see why he is comparing nirvana's unplugged with AiC's unplugged , they are both awesome in their own aspects, no need to yell which one is better
Well, it's inevitable cause both are rock bands. Still, AiC unplugged is the best 👌
Agreed. A.I.C. is IMHO the best Unplugged.
Not only yours
Jerry is the coolest guy in universe
Jerry Cantrell, such a cool dude, the best.
RIP Layne Staley you are missed my man🤘
What happened was some guy booed when Layne said, "I think that's it." Then it was Layne that replied to the guy by saying, "Hey, fuck you man." to which everyone laughed. Then they came back and did the encore. It's actually pretty clear what happened. That guy has not listened to it loud enough to hear every nuance, I guess. Another funny bit was before the last encore, the killer is me, people were shouting out titles they wanted to hear as an encore. Someone yelled sickman. Appropriate. But someone else yelled freebird. I wish they would have given that guy attention cause it was perfectly timed.
The guy couldn’t get it any more wrong did he… kinda stupid especially after calling the show the best unplugged session there is.
Yup a boot licker true and true
I think what he's referring to is at the end of "Over Now," after Layne says, "I think that's it," some dude boos them from the crowd, and it's actually Layne who jokingly responds, "Ay, fuck you man!"
I’m pretty sure the “fuck you man” was Layne making a joke to someone who Boo’ed
This is interesting he says they were “on”, as I’ve heard Jerry in previous interviews describe Laynes performance and subsequently the bands as not good for the unplugged set. But like he says a lot of brain cells gone in the time since then.
Killer is me was a song created by Jerry but the message was to deep cause it was supposed to be for Layne and till this day as an aic fan I wished Layne understood god bless his soul and this band
I fucking LOVE Jerry.
:)
Does the guy asking Jerry the question have ears? What the hell album did he listen to? You might wanna listen again pal. After "Over Now," Layne says, "I think that's it." A guy in the crowd sarcastically boos. Layne responds jokingly, "Hey fuck you man." And then eventually says, "Alright one more," before they end with "Killer is Me."
My favorite thing that layne says during the Unplugged show was what's my motivation and when they played Sludge Factory
The saddest part is when they start playing "angry chair" and Jerry is watching him. It looked to me like he was concerned that Layne wouldn't be able to play
AiC will forever be the absolute best unplugged.
Not at all true ..... recording that show was far from perfect or magical...Layne was out of it... starting songs 2 and 3 times...a lady would come out and prop Layne up....
Source?
Better than crash test dummies? Of course it was!!!
Cantrell and Ed Norton are twins.
Layne being Layne😂
Crash test dummies? Wtf.
Man. I saw layne staley before I knew that he was a super star. There in Seattle. I didn't know who he was I was like 8, sitting at a traffic light in my cousin suberbian. I remember my cousin fuckn layne. Layne like yelling at him a I remember being imbarised like wrf man. But I remembered. For some reason I remembered that I saw my cousin like 2 years ago I was like do u remember along time ago woopdy woop told him that, what I just told u.
His response was omg how the hell do u remember that. U were so young. Yea it was layne staley.
It was Layne who said in jest, "Hey fuck you man!" after an audience member jokingly complained about the fact they were only going to do another song or two.
Do people even listen to things anymore or just reply on some half-assed Wikipedia or Yt "fact".
Well as one of those many great people that i call AIC FANS to the deepest core with in and also one my favorites to call myself is Dirt Doll!! It is definitely someone in the crowd sayn aye fuck u man we can get voices confused sometimes we're all able to make the mistake of that, but in my 100% opinion, its someone from the crowd the vioce has a tone to it thats not coming from where layne and jerry are sitting u can hear them way stronger than ne other voices in the unplugged concert and the aye fuck u man just sounds like it come from the crowd a mother fn real Fan said it to another where jkn or not the boooo is soo disrespectful they always play one more!!
Weird right. We were all over Seattle at the time. My dad died and I was staying with relatives. Cousin was a getting ready to go into the army at the time.
Jerry Plays poker! love AIC
That unplugged is better than Nirvana's unplugged perhaps but this is darkest in special for would frogs and over now
