    It's stupid how AIC is not as popular as it should be, but in a way I'm glad, I'm glad that they're shirts aren't worn by turds who have never heard of them and are used as a fashion symbol like many other bands.

      Lewis Hampson you're young aren't you. AIC was massive in the 90s and they're still relevant now. Out of all the 90s band, they've remained uncompromisingly true to their style but have also evolved.

    • @pmolqrcd3370
      @pmolqrcd3370 6 років тому +41

      Metallica, nirvana, iron maiden, ac/dc. All of them are worn by people who can’t name 5 of their songs. And I am only 19 but I’ve been listening to Alice for years.

    • @MrTechselect
      @MrTechselect 6 років тому +8

      Drache Zwiehänder Green Day have been steadily active since 1986 and until now. Second, You can't compare the two bands. Green Day gave you commercialized pop/punk teenage angst, nobody-understands-me mentality eyeliner and all while AIC's material dealt with hard-hitting stuff like drugs and pain. AIC's songs and lyrics have always been difficult to swallow compared to GD.
      AIC stopped doing albums after tripod and stopped touring by 1996. That's a long time to be absent from people's minds. When Layne died the band hadn't released an EP or full length album in ages. The last 2 songs were in 1999. The masses forget. And unless you were speaking to musicians most specially guitarist who were influenced by them, they don't come up in day-to-day conversations. But talk to people who really know their shit and you'll see how influential these guys really are. AIC didn't get an album out until 2009. Now is not exactly a great time to be a rock band if you can notice. The music industry now is generally hostile to bands particularly harder bands that gear towards metal. That applies to all hardrock and metal acts not just AIC. You hardly even hear hardrock songs hit the charts anymore. Plus it doesn't help that people are massive assholes about AIC restarting with Duvall. He's a great addition to the band but people whine that he's not Layne this or Layne that.

Beginning of both funerals it was a gorgeous day and sunny. Shortly after one of the funerals and a few hours after the other, out of nowhere it just started downpouring for about ten minutes then stopped just as abruptly as it started

    @Britton_Thompson 7 років тому +94

    Of course "Would?" was #1; it's their transcendent music masterpiece. Oh, and here's what Angry Chair is about....
    It's essentially about the negative emotions you feel while talking to addiction therapists and other addicts during rehab. What's infuriating about the whole rehab process isn't in seeing the addict you've turned into, it's the realization this is who you'll always be from now on. At the end of the day, you still love that drug you're addicted to and you just can't trust yourself out there in the real world when this is over.
    This is what Layne meant when he sings, "All that I want is to stay" and "Pink cloud has now turned to grey". The "pink cloud" is a drug rehabilitation term for the initial gratification that comes over you for being clean, which typically occurs during the first 40-60 days of sobriety. The initial desire to stay clean, and the pride you feel for achieving your newfound sobreity is called the "pink cloud" phase. But that always wears off and relapses occur soon afterwards; thus the "pink cloud has now turned to grey" line.
    The "angry chair" he's sitting on is the rage Layne felt while having to sit in folding chairs in church basements while talking about deeply personal things to complete strangers at drug rehab clinics and NA meetings.

      Britton, your comment is 3 years old, *but* *thank you* for referencing some of that interview with Layne's explanation about Angry Chair 🙂. I never knew where to find that source.
      It seems many people incorrectly conjecture about its meaning, esp writing on YT that "angry chair" must be the toilet when an addict is feeling ill. If Layne were still around, hopefully he'd laugh about the misguided interpretations.

    5. Down in a Hole
    6. Nutshell
    7. Grind
    8. Angry Chair
    9. We die young
    10. Frogs (There are some songs that sound better, like Them Bones or Got me wrong, bu the lyrics are so haunting and depressing that it makes it an amazing song)
    Of course any Alice in Chains piece is fantastic even stuff like Died or Confusion (that are always looked upon)

    If anyone is wondering who "Would?" was written for, it was Andrew Wood. He was a close friend of the band and he was the frontman of Mother Love Bone. He died of an overdose right after the band had finished recording Facelift, and the album was dedicated to him. Andrew also fronted Malfunkshun prior to forming Mother Love Bone.

      I prefer Nirvana, but I have to admit that Jerry Cantrell is a better guitarist than Kurt Cobain. On a different note, I think that part of the reason why Nirvana is considered to be the gold standard for grunge bands is that Cobain died before they passed their creative prime. In other words, they didn't stick around long enough to decline like Pearl Jam or break up like Soundgarden.

    It's words eerily fortell the fate of Layne Staley, with the haunting lines "I get so lost, and don't know how... Yeah... It hurts to care, I'm goin' down.."

    No Heaven Beside You, Check My Brain, or Stone in the honorable mentions even?

    the ending of 'would?' always gives me chills. truly a perfect ending for the album dirt, perhaps the best way to end an album.

    Just about my favorite all time band. I probably would have included “It Ain’t Like That” and “Love Hate Love” somewhere though. Great vocal performances.

    All of the songs from the 1995 album, "Alice in Chains". Most favorites are "Sludge Factory", "Nothing Song", "So Close", and "Frogs". Mostly the song "Shame in You". I love that song so much, it gets to me. I basically love all of the songs that Alice in Chains made.

      You can be a fan of both without undermining the other band right. And besides only fanboys and not real fans of rock in general always compare and don't appreciate both.

    I always avoided AIC when I was younger except for man in the box.. I've been numb again for awhile and their music is making me feel something again... wish I had looked into it sooner but I guess I'm glad because I really needed it.

    I'm sad that Check My Brain (or any of their new stuff) didn't even get an honourable mention. It's quite good. I saw AiC live just a couple months ago and they were awesome! Love this band. RIP Layne.
