Okay seriously people stop body shaming its not cool. So what if Jerry gained weight or got older. That is not what this video is about. This is about Chris and Chester and suicide and its very sad. People should focus on their music and level of talent instead. Jerry and Mike are pretty cool guys for doing this.
Dude, have a watch of the interview with him in his house talking about Alice In Chains. I think it's Rolling Stone. It's first class. He appears to be genuine as fuck 💚💚💚
Alcohol is the worst drug going..Id rather be a drug addict than an alcoholic anyday..This comment probably doesnt make alot of sense to someone thats never done drugs..But for the ppl that have you know what i mean..Plus ive been clean for almost 10 years. Sobriety is the best gift you could ever givin yourself....My bf likes to have a few drinks once in awhile and i swear i cant stand him when he drinks..Drunks are sickening..
@@sandisandii2033 alcohol is just so accessible that people Can get it and abuse every single day, having a loved one who’s a serious alcoholic is a brutal thing to be around same with being a drug addict obviously but alcohol is so normalized that it’s different.
i read some shit from some layne's personal friend in an old blog and they said cantrell was kinda mean lol.. but uea i think he has changed with time.
Erick Not true all. Xana La Fuente who was Andrew Wood's girlfriend (also close friends of AIC) have said that That Jerry and Layne were close. She said that "If there was anyone that watched out for Layne the most it was Jerry believe it or not." If Jerry was ever hard on Layne it was because he wanted Layne to get help.
More like under the radar, large majority of Fans of AIC and Cantrell know he’s one of the best songwriters ever, there is just a lot of people who don’t know him which is a shame, almost everyone rates Jerry extremely high obviously because the man is a god. Either way I wish more people knew about Jerry and appreciated his work and career.
I wouldn’t say that. Jerry is a Rock Legend. He is definitely not under rated in the music industry. He is friends with some of the biggest names in the biz. EVH, Elton John, Chris Cornell, Eddy Vedder, Dime and Vinnie Paul, etc He has also toured with major bands for years. AIC has tens of millions of fans across the globe.
Its hard to think Cantrel is literally one of the last surviving grunge singers around. Stayleys gone Cobains gone Cornells gone Benningtons gone Weilands gone An era that cannot be touched honestly. The rawness and realness of it wasnt just an act and thats what will always make it so special.
It’s really fucking sad, but not to nitpick but there’s still so many living grunge singers but nobody seems to care about them. Tad almost killed himself but grunge “fans” never cared, Mark arm almost died of a heroin addiction in the 90’s but nobody cared, Mark lanegan almost died multiple times but by some miracle is still around. People need to stop romanticising the dead and be thankful that we still have so many people left who deserve to be cared about
Damn....Jerry has been through the death of his mother, Layne Staley, Mike Starr, Andrew Wood, Kurt Cobain, Mia Zapata, Kristin Pfaff, and now Chris Cornell. They've come to snuff the Rooster....but he ain't gonna die!!!!
I was a guy who thought I'd 'die young' for many reasons, but to see so many talented men actually die, and to still be alive, makes me sad - what a fool I was to undervalue my life. The inspiration that Layne, Chris, Kurt, and so many others have given is some comfort, but I really feel for Jerry,
Jerry has watched all his friends die..I totally dig why he's an alcoholic.He still walks among us. I started to cry when he said he was an alcoholic..I'm one too.
The more I know about Mr Cantrell the more respect I gain. He has become a real inspiration as of late for me - I picked up the guitar once again because of him.
Go see him if his tour comes close. I made a pact years ago to never miss him live, regardless of who he's playing with. Every time I see him I appreciate him more....every, single time 💖
@@noneyabusiness1302 I agree mate I saw him in Tacoma and it was such a great show. Extremely emotional performance they played alot of Alice in Chains songs and it felt like a tribute to Layne and so many people were crying. It was incredibly moving.
I deal with suicidal ideation and have since I was a pretty young child. Much more so now that all of my family have passed. Anytime I have a bad night, I always tell myself, "just one more day." I'm not sure how long I'll be able to keep doing that, but it's kept me alive this long.
The songs Jerry & Layne and the band wrote got me through a lot of shit at the end of the 90's / early millennium and for that I am eternally grateful .
@@darbybohning6499 their music will always be relevant because there will always be people struggling with the same things they did like addiction/depression etc.
In the last 48 hours I’ve become the biggest fan of Jerry Cantrell and finding more and more videos like this is only cementing my insane respect for this man
Jerry is just simply a good ole' boy as we would say in the South. He is the guy that you want there when things go wrong because he is stable and had a good head on his shoulders. But he is also the guy you want there when things go right because you want him to have that happiness in his life after all of the tragedy he has seen. And his dad is just a BAMF and you see that in Jerry.
Cantrell is one of the best to ever do it, one of the best songwriters to ever live and he’s a great dude who is incredibly highly respected by his peers, idk how anyone could not like Cantrell he’s the exact type of dude you want as a friend. Anyway this Jerry video always makes me sad but at the same time is great ua-cam.com/video/DOlfR-tHADk/v-deo.html, you can really see how much he loved and respected Layne.
@@UAPbigfootandBOATDRINKS rich eisen is actually a cool dude, there is a reason Jerry does this stuff with him and plays in the fantasy league with him and others. Eisen is a solid dude forsure
@@Salomon_G it's a start, it's not gonna be easy but that's not an excuse to accept an unwanted fate. You have to fight until you win and you will, anyone can win.
ok OLD school fan here. I have nothing but bromance love for Jerry. He's definitely on my "if you could have dinner with any 5 dead/alive musicians" table.
100% Mike Inez has stood by Jerry's side thru all these interviews. He is there for support, fellowship, brotherhood, bandmate . . . someone that Jerry can count on and lean on. Plus, he is 100% that dude...respectful, intelligent, empathetic and most importantly consistent. AIC has been blessed to have his presence during these dark times.
Jerry is such a good guy. Truly. He stood by Layne and never once judged him even at the cost of lots of money he could have made touring and whatnot. Jerry was in the Deadwood movie and that was so very awesome (he and W. Earl Brown are good friends).
It just breaks my heart every time we lose a musician. Their music, lyrics, message, it all comes rushing back in sadness. I think of Layne, Scott, Brad, Chester, or Chris, I can't imagine how they must've suffered, alone. It hurts to think I will never hear any new music or see this person perform ever again.
I have so much respect and admiration for Artists like Jerry and Mike spreading their positivity and understanding while personally grieving. What you two and others are doing, does make a difference. Thank you & hugs~
Great guitarist but that’s not even his best quality, his best quality is his songwriting, one of the best songwriters to ever exist. Amazing performer too and his lyrics are close to unmatched. Man is the GOAT in my Book even if he’s not the most technically skilled guy out there
@George Thomas I totally feel the same way. I was at a local show in Seattle one night and had seen him standing in the adjoining bar. Later during the show I had been looking away for a while and suddenly the guitar got heavy, louder, and super exciting. I looked up and see Jerry playing with the band. It was amazing!! The show totally changed for the better.
I needed to see this, I'm in a very dark place at the moment, and this gave me some kind of light. I don't want to say I'm full-blown suicidal, but I'd be lying if I said it doesn't cross my mind lately. Thank you Jerry, for everything you've done in your career, I couldn't imagine my life as I know it now without you.
If I become half the man Jerry Cantrell has become I'll be content. Such a great guy with a big heart. This is a real rocker that you find everyday clubs. He lives and breathes music and knows how important these two men's lifes were to so many. Bravo guys Bravo 👏
One of the best to ever do it and such a strong person, a damn good person too. Jerry has probably had the biggest impact on me of any musician ever, would be so awful if Jerry was also gone like many of his friends.
It’s usually the brightest stars that burn out the quickest. To this day I still haven’t heard Man in the Box sound “right” since Layne passed. There was a power and timbre at the chorus that no one comes really close to. A testament to the talent and ability he had. Definitely a voice that will be remembered…
Jerry has been through a lot in his life and he has been able to always pull himself out out with music. It undoubtedly saved his life and many who have listened. The people he lost needed so much help and I hope that serves to tell people that there’s always another option and to get help, because their loss becomes our loss as well.
Jerry seems like such a genuine person,and he is such an amazing talent. Chester and Chris,we miss you guys here and appreciate all that you two have given. Rest easy legends
Layne, chris and Chester were such a gift to this world and I just want to say thank you for everything you shared with us and we are eternally grateful for all of your art. we will always love you and you guys will live on forever!!!
The loss of both these beautiful men will be imprinted for a damn long time. Chester's death devastated me in a way that I didn't think possible. He's been my "friend" since I was 16, I'm nearly 40. It's beyond description. 😢😢
Not only can you get through substance abuse to sobriety, but you can thrive and love life again!! I have, and I was bad. The most important ingredient to helping someone: Love. And support. Let them know it's going to be OK. You'll have so much to look forward to. It's just darkest before the dawn.
Touched me very deep..when he said..we all walk thru this life together basically said it all..but it's more than just the loss of friends&family etc..it moreless strikes me as though saying we're with you no matter what your crisis's are or is? AND your conditions are what mine are..get help seek help..the support is available And just pray for the many that continue to struggle the day2day battles of life..it makes gloomy days alittle brighter when you hear your not alone.. thanks
Jerry and Mike are good guys, they know how hard it is when you lose someone you love to depression and addiction. Great to know they are done this for Chris and Chester,😊
Love to see positive in these 2 guys. Too many people want to only focus on the negative and bash others in a lame attempt to make themselves look and feel better!!! Love Chester and Chris so much!!!
Guy has always been on point since the beginning of the band and even when he wasn’t sober, he’s just a good dude who is really enjoyable to listen to. Fuckin legend too, one of the best songwriters ever.
I'm so sorry about Chris and Chester. I just recently got portraits of Chris and Layne Staley on my leg. Great musicians both. Love you Jerry!!!!!!!💋💋💋💋
bellarose6501 I almost crashed my car when I heard it on the radio the day after it happened. I found the pic I used in Pinterest. I wanted something that captured him singing and some of that insanely beautiful hair he had. It really turned out amazing. After it is all healed, I plan to go and put flowers on his marker at the cemetery in Hollywood.
Chris, Chester, Scotland, and so many others including Jerry are a huge part of my recovery. My state of mind. My love for music just because they spoke to my heart through their talent. Their words. And their talent. A true poet is someone who can to check someone else's soul just with their words. They are all so missed. And they are all true poets.
This is one quality always loved about Cantrell! He steps up all the time to help benefit charities! Amazing Man and Amazing Band- Alice In Chains Rocks!
all these guys and their music spoke to me when times are bad when you are alone and there is no one to call and your phone doesn't ring and you start to get some real bad thoughts to put the music on would be enough to keep me from going over the edge
THIS MAN IS A GOOD MAN, IM GLAD TO SEE HE HAD A FEW GOOD FRIENDS AND CHESTER IS ROCKING IN HEAVEN WITH CHRIS! I WILL NEVER BELIEVE EITHER OF THEM TOOK THEIR OWN LIVES AND I CANT PAST THEM BEING GONE! CHRIS NOONE SINGS LIKE YOU ANYMORE!! AND CHESTER YOU WERE A LIGHT IN THIS WORLD AND I HATE THAT SOMEONE PUT OUT YOUR GLOW! BOTH OF YOU ARE AMAZING AND WE ALL MISS YOU BOTH SO MUCH!!!
I still in shock. R.I.P wherever you are, Chris. Miss you. I saw AiC in Razzmatazz a couple of years ago and Jerry gave me his plectrum. Unforgeteable night
Mike Inez and Jerry Cantrell, All the respect for you and everything you are doing for Music and future generations of music to come. Peace&Respect and Love, Shelley Anne
Inez had some big shoes to fill, but his contribution exceeded everyone’s expectations. “I Stay Away” is AiC’s magnum opus! And, Inez’s riffs on (Ozzy’s) “No More Tears” is off the charts!
Okay seriously people stop body shaming its not cool. So what if Jerry gained weight or got older. That is not what this video is about. This is about Chris and Chester and suicide and its very sad. People should focus on their music and level of talent instead. Jerry and Mike are pretty cool guys for doing this.
People either get older or die. Or get plastic surgery and die.
Angel Of darkness it's ok, wait till this shitty commenting fuckers get old (if they live that long). They'll regret their words in Solitude.
@Sean Gordon it's rare to see a profound comment on UA-cam, Bravo to you
fucking idiots !!! who does that ??
thank you. I think he is just as beautiful as always, anyhow
How can you not love Cantrell... Such smart and emotionally intelligent bloke.
He's irreplaceable
He's wise beyond his years that's for sure
My most favorite Piscean..above Kurt.
Dude, have a watch of the interview with him in his house talking about Alice In Chains. I think it's Rolling Stone. It's first class. He appears to be genuine as fuck 💚💚💚
I love that man!!
Jerry- "I'm an alcoholic".
It takes a huge amount of courage to admit that, and he did it, and has stayed sober.
so agree, finally quit drinking 4 yrs ago after decades of rock n roll debauchery. amazed I'm alive...
I quit drinking too, for the day. You don't realize you have a problem until the darkness really sets in.

Eddie Van Halen loved Jerry and sent him a garage full of equipment !
Underrated???? Not where I fucking live lol
"Remember them in a good light" Well said Jerry
agree much ♥
Years later it's the only way we know how lol
Mad respect to Jerry Cantrell and the Alice in Chains boys!
Jerry is a great musician. But a better human being. Thanks mates.
He reminds me of David Gilmour so much. Great guitarist, soothing voice and handles himself very well
Not only that. He's also an amazing songwriter. His solo album Brighten confirms it
Brighten is probably his best solo work
Jerry is a genius
Jerry Cantrell is my hero. How anyone could have survived in that scene is incredible.
Its hard to think Cantrel is literally one of the last surviving grunge singers around.
Stayleys gone
Cobains gone
Cornells gone
Benningtons gone
Weilands gone
An era that cannot be touched honestly. The rawness and realness of it wasnt just an act and thats what will always make it so special.
Eddie Vedder's still alive.

Only him, Eddie Vedder and Billy Corgan are the last remaining Kings of grunge left ( i might seem to miss some others )

Anyone who's lucky enough to have Jerry Cantrell for a friend is a better person for it.
Well said Jerry... "Remember them in a good light instead of a bad moment"
ok OLD school fan here. I have nothing but bromance love for Jerry. He's definitely on my "if you could have dinner with any 5 dead/alive musicians" table.

Nothing says stability like a flannel and work boots. Love it.

Jerry is a really cool, stand up dude. Very talented too. I have nothing but respect for him.
Thanks for the real talk guys, everyone's scared to talk about depression. GO TO BED, think on it one more night, is the best advice you can give.
A lot of people with depression have insomnia which adds to the problem. It's not that easy to just "go to bed" and think about it.
The pond is vast man. This advice will still help a lot of people. A genuine response
ultra Adrestia absolutely totally agree
Usually, when one is laying on the bed trying to sleep, is when the darkest thoughts come to mind
José Cruz that's the very thing that haunts me today.
Jerry is such a good guy. Truly. He stood by Layne and never once judged him even at the cost of lots of money he could have made touring and whatnot. Jerry was in the Deadwood movie and that was so very awesome (he and W. Earl Brown are good friends).
The deadwood cameo was great, really quick tho. My favorite Jerry cameo tho is without a doubt the copymat Jesus from Jerry maguire, shit is so good.
Jerry is like one of the most down to earth cool dudes. Very good man and excellent musician.
It just breaks my heart every time we lose a musician. Their music, lyrics, message, it all comes rushing back in sadness. I think of Layne, Scott, Brad, Chester, or Chris, I can't imagine how they must've suffered, alone. It hurts to think I will never hear any new music or see this person perform ever again.
Jerry is one of the best guitarists in history. He still misses Layne deeply. He is an inspiration to us all
One of the greatest songwriters to ever live.
Man I just want to run into Jerry and hug the shit out of him
I have so much respect and admiration for Artists like Jerry and Mike spreading their positivity and understanding while personally grieving. What you two and others are doing, does make a difference. Thank you & hugs~
Jerry Cantrell is my all time favorite guitar player... i'm not saying hes the G.O.A.T , i'm saying hes my #1 !!!!
He's my favorite as well. I have been playing for 26 years now.

I often thank God that we still have Jerry Cantrell in the world.
One of the best to ever do it and such a strong person, a damn good person too. Jerry has probably had the biggest impact on me of any musician ever, would be so awful if Jerry was also gone like many of his friends.
Jerry/AIC, Pearl Jam and Kim Thaill & Ben Shepard should write/record an album together...I would love to hear Ed and Jerry harmonize on some songs
Fuckin A. That's the best idea I've heard in awhile.
Man you hit the nail on the head with that idea.
Ed vocals, Jerry and Kim guitars, Ben Bass, Sean Drums. Now thats a Grunge Supergroup!
Not to mention the sound of Cantrell and McCready playing together would be great
Yeah kim thayil should be making hit albums but he's underground right now
Thanks AIC...killer what you all are doing for Chester and Chris....from the band who was graced by the god of vocals, Layne!
RIP Chris and Chester
It’s usually the brightest stars that burn out the quickest. To this day I still haven’t heard Man in the Box sound “right” since Layne passed. There was a power and timbre at the chorus that no one comes really close to. A testament to the talent and ability he had. Definitely a voice that will be remembered…
I've always loved these kind-hearted fellas. They know what a loss feels like and don't want anyone to have to go through what they have been through.
Jerry has been through a lot in his life and he has been able to always pull himself out out with music. It undoubtedly saved his life and many who have listened. The people he lost needed so much help and I hope that serves to tell people that there’s always another option and to get help, because their loss becomes our loss as well.
Jerry is an amazing human
The man is a walking Angel. What a great heart!
Jerry seems like such a genuine person,and he is such an amazing talent. Chester and Chris,we miss you guys here and appreciate all that you two have given. Rest easy legends
I’m so glad that Jerry’s buddy was able to pull him out of his sad spiral by bringing up their children! Smart move.
Layne, chris and Chester were such a gift to this world and I just want to say thank you for everything you shared with us and we are eternally grateful for all of your art. we will always love you and you guys will live on forever!!!
Much love for Jerry and Mike, to the whole Alice in Chains Family
Thank you for the music , Jerry .
I'm glad that Jerry grew his hair out again. The short hair didn't work for him. That long blonde hair is one of his trademarks
Celtichammer he changes it up still
that’s honestly the one thing that u took out of this video
Honestly, What the fuck mate.
useless comment.
Bruh he just made a comment about his hair can y'all chill?
The loss of both these beautiful men will be imprinted for a damn long time. Chester's death devastated me in a way that I didn't think possible. He's been my "friend" since I was 16, I'm nearly 40. It's beyond description. 😢😢
4:54 Gotta love Jerry's laughter
Cantrell is a legend!!
those unplugged AIC performances have earned Epic status in my mind forever for these guys
Awe jerry is such a sweetheart 💕💕
The image of Jerry in a rumpled suit looking dejectedly downward at Chris' funeral is not one I'll easily forget.
I love you Jerry!! So glad you've made it through it all. You're a rock star. Missing Layne eternally.
Returning here to share my love for all we have lost, and to value those we still have. Still thankful for AIC kind words towards Chris and Chester.
Not only can you get through substance abuse to sobriety, but you can thrive and love life again!! I have, and I was bad. The most important ingredient to helping someone: Love. And support. Let them know it's going to be OK. You'll have so much to look forward to. It's just darkest before the dawn.
My Mom survived a meth/opioid addiction. She is FLOURISHING 💖PRAYING for all addicts🙏🙏🙏it can be done!!
I know about 10 alcoholics that don't think they are and never would call themselves one. Huge respect to admit and say that Jerry!

Wow, Jerry can grow his hair quite fast
Max Markusic he use hair extention maybe
Mella Han he's been growing it for years. He had the short hair in 2013.
@@rumblefish9 Plus, he has always had really long hair. People who have spent years with really long hair tend to be able to grow it out quicker X X
Thats the reason why i will never cut my hair.
It warms my heart to see their colleagues talking good things about Chris and Chester. May they truly rest in peace
God bless ya Jerry and Mike. (one thing I love about Jerry, besides his playing, is what a great sports fan he is. )
Jerry always sober and on point 👍
Guy has always been on point since the beginning of the band and even when he wasn’t sober, he’s just a good dude who is really enjoyable to listen to. Fuckin legend too, one of the best songwriters ever.
I'm so sorry about Chris and Chester. I just recently got portraits of Chris and Layne Staley on my leg. Great musicians both. Love you Jerry!!!!!!!💋💋💋💋
Genile Bankai Elric would love to see the portraits. What pic of Chris did you get? I'm still heartbroken over Chris, brutal.
bellarose6501 I almost crashed my car when I heard it on the radio the day after it happened. I found the pic I used in Pinterest. I wanted something that captured him singing and some of that insanely beautiful hair he had. It really turned out amazing. After it is all healed, I plan to go and put flowers on his marker at the cemetery in Hollywood.
Genile Bankai Elric I'm getting Kurt and Chris on my arm in November. I'd love to see what your pieces look like.
Alicia Bryanna message me and I will give you my kik code. I will send you pics! They are done for the most part, just need some highlights👍
Jerry its so wanderfull
what can I say...Jerry Cantrell (and Mike Inez) is an American classic!!
Chris, Chester, Scotland, and so many others including Jerry are a huge part of my recovery. My state of mind. My love for music just because they spoke to my heart through their talent. Their words. And their talent. A true poet is someone who can to check someone else's soul just with their words. They are all so missed. And they are all true poets.
"Remember them in a good light instead of a bad moment." So true.
Jerry Cantrell is an amazing person, not cool to disrespect him at all!!!!!
I cant imagine disrespecting a Man like Jerry. Wish there were more of him
Jerry and Mike are just the best.
Greatest musician of the last 30 years and an amazing person.
Straight facts, man is one of the greatest songwriters to ever live. Fuckin genius.
This is one quality always loved about Cantrell! He steps up all the time to help benefit charities! Amazing Man and Amazing Band- Alice In Chains Rocks!
Unlimited respect for Jerry. Fucking love the guy!
They are such amazing human beings....wow....humble, sincere....gems!!!
Cantrell got a hearty gutteral laugh....so raw and honest....just like his music......ive been a fan since the beginning.....but thats a bonus!.....
You guys are super cool for doing this I know you've been through a lot and I will pray for you and your families. Peace
Both these guys are great guys. I spoke with Mike once and he was the best interview I've ever done. So open, friendly and truly funny!
Jerry looks like himself again with long hair
he needs a viking beard....will make him look 20 years younger
Bill & Bill`s Gentlemans Club he looks like King Theoden with the beard. Not a bad thing.
@@Turk_2023 done
Which year did he cut it off?
@@duncan3998 He had short hair in 2013 so I assume he cut it somewhere around that year
all these guys and their music spoke to me when times are bad when you are alone and there is no one to call and your phone doesn't ring and you start to get some real bad thoughts to put the music on would be enough to keep me from going over the edge
"Lay down, i'll remember you "
Thank you for posting this. God bless you. Fresh wounds need this type of healing.
THIS MAN IS A GOOD MAN, IM GLAD TO SEE HE HAD A FEW GOOD FRIENDS AND CHESTER IS ROCKING IN HEAVEN WITH CHRIS! I WILL NEVER BELIEVE EITHER OF THEM TOOK THEIR OWN LIVES AND I CANT PAST THEM BEING GONE! CHRIS NOONE SINGS LIKE YOU ANYMORE!! AND CHESTER YOU WERE A LIGHT IN THIS WORLD AND I HATE THAT SOMEONE PUT OUT YOUR GLOW! BOTH OF YOU ARE AMAZING AND WE ALL MISS YOU BOTH SO MUCH!!!
I still in shock. R.I.P wherever you are, Chris. Miss you.
I saw AiC in Razzmatazz a couple of years ago and Jerry gave me his plectrum. Unforgeteable night
One of the sweetest guys I have ever met...or smoked out with!
So many greats would still be here if they'd just danced with ganja instead of the dark stuff.
Mike Inez and Jerry Cantrell, All the respect for you and everything you are doing for Music and future generations of music to come.
Peace&Respect and Love, Shelley Anne
God, I can only imagine the amount of grief they were feeling while taking about it. I'm impressed they kept it together.
Jerry is such a cool dude man…
My favorite guitarist of all time? This man, Jerry Cantrell. He's in a league of his own.
Inez had some big shoes to fill, but his contribution exceeded everyone’s expectations. “I Stay Away” is AiC’s magnum opus!
And, Inez’s riffs on (Ozzy’s) “No More Tears” is off the charts!
Always good to see Jerry, Mike and Sean.
