Private Hell always struck me as a haunting beauty too. If Eric Clapton made guitars gently weep, Jerry Cantrell makes them grieve.

[@sagan1976]

I always thought that one part of the song represents the whale and the other the wasp. The part shown here is the whale, deep in the dark blue ocean. The string part is the wasp flying around on a sunny day.

Cantrell is the defintion of how to write mostly simple riffs which are yet catchy and fresh. I could not say anyone who could be compared with him.

[@danielthomas4652]

MrSipi1988 there’s nothing simple about their riffs. They were some of the most advanced and mind blowing at the time and still are. Some of the best critics put them way ahead of their time.

[@qaws2119]

Maybe Frusciante

[@travistotle]

@@danielthomas4652 Dude, come on... Alice in Chains is probably in my Top 5 of all time, but Jerry's riffs could ABSOLUTELY be simple at times. He just had a gift to making a riff sound incredibly unique and fresh in spite of it being incredibly simple. The main riff to Man in the Box is as simple as it gets. The main riff to Angry Chair is literally three slowly picked notes!! There's nothing wrong with playing simple shit if it was still something you hadn't heard before.

[@gabifromhell]

And let's not talk about his insane live tone. Best tone i've heard in my life, Jerry is amazing

[@natea3799]

[@BallZakc]

Rotten Apple is so underrated

[@yatereeyater560]

It's my favorite aic song

[@DaveTaste]

It's highly rated.

[@SpaghettiWithMeatSauce]

My favorite song tied with Sludge Factory

[@OcelotDAD]

Very highly rated actually. I know a lot of people who consider it their best song, me included.

[@Trx-ep7rg]

I'd go the other way, saying its overrated. I like other songs way more on Jar of Flies, well that's just means they are great

[@manwithtwoeyes6911]

"Sludge Factory" has to be one of the top 5 grungiest grunge songs. Quite literally the definition of "Grunge"

[@normaldude8320]

Or literally the definition of Sludge 😂 Sludge is a style itself just saying

[@danhorvath3829]

Well, isn't it funny that the song is about a class of people who would like to think of themselves as "squeaky clean." That notion is probably a defining characteristic of a lot of music of this nature. (Music that tugs at your heart strings and, at the same time, makes you want to punch someone in the face.)

[@matthewmurphy5425]

Sludge metal… the chorus to man in the box is the epitome of a grunge song imo

[@maxromero23]

R.I.P. Layne Staley and Mike Starr.

[@SharkPig_Media]

Died has to be one of the best riffs ever written. horribly underrated song.

[@diegosotomiranda4107]

Brett Ray its a fcking raw masterpiece

[@darthdarthbinkss]

If I remember correctly I don't even think the song was completely finished anyway, I think they wanted to adjust something, but I could be wrong. Either way, still in the top 10 best riffs from them for me. Edit: actually that's my favorite rift ever so far

[@michaelmichaelson6766]

I love "died" and "get born again", too sad they could not go on together.

[@exxusdrugstore300]

I think the chorus was the unfinished part, which makes sense when you listen to it. Usually their choruses absolutely soar but on "Died" it kind of just stays on the ground. The vocals save it though.

[@darthdarthbinkss]

@@exxusdrugstore300 I guess so. Who knows.

[@MrAttentionSpan]

Cantrell is one of main things that makes me go pick up a guitar almost every day. His tone is beyond legendary at this point, and if you take a look at his chord structures, a good chunk of it is basic blues based, so to me he's the approachable guitar hero. Like in No Excuses, all he does is take a bar chord, and makes the top two strings open, and it's so simple and so effective. Oh, and he has the most Titanic, gut-punching riffs (All of Acid Bubble? Stone? Get Born Again? HUGE) AND he has a great voice in his own right. He's one of those once in a generation kind of talents. I hope he sees this vid.

[@Batumtl]

Ya Boi Camper Güzel, klasikleri biz de severiz :) Son Ne Obliviscaris albümü bende birinci albümün etkisini yaratmadı maalesef. Daha kötüsü, birkaç kez dinlendikten sonra sıktı. Portal of I'ın kalitesine erişen modern albüm sayısı çok kısıtlı zaten. Her tarzda metal dinlerim, lakin favorilerim tech death (Beyond Creation, Obscura, Atheist, First Fragment...) ve black metal (Hate Forest, Cultes des Ghoules, The Great Old Ones...) gruplarıdır. Ancak bu aralar biraz karışık dinliyorum, son dinlediğim gruplar şu şekilde: The Dillinger Escape Plan, Frontierer, Amenra (Mass VI yılın albümü olmaya aday), Leprous, Monuments, Car Bomb, Archspire. Uzun cevap oldu, kusura bakma, hem Alice in chains hem de extreme metal dinleyen bir vatandaş görünce böyle oluyor :)

[@AndreaBoccarusso]

of course "black gives way to blue" is copied and pasted wrongly everywhere in the video. not to mention that the album was one of my favourities when it was released (2009). I was 20, good memories. I just cannot release any video without making some stupid mistakes in the captions. it ALWAYS happens, even if I recheck everyhing thousands times. it's a fucking curse. anyway: - I think this is my best sounding video I've ever made until now, and I'm pretty proud about it. this expansion of the ez drummer 2 sounds fucking great (rock solid), my mastering skills are improving and I'm finally adding the stuff I need to my workstation, after my PC change. however I don't own hundreds of guitars and pedals like Jerry did in the last 27 years. so, in some parts, I had to settle for the sounds I had, even if they were not perfect. - I don't own a talk box or a decent wah pedal and I don't want to have one, because I hate it. so I've used the shitty wah function from my old boss gt6 pedalboard in front of my amps ... and it sounds like crap - I've sung more than the other videos. after all, I used to listen to alice in chains constantly from 19 to 22 years old. their melodies are just fucking great and part of my life

[@AirGuitar]

Yeah dude you fuckin knocked this one out of the part. Jerry is a master when it comes to melodies. He can make the most beautiful melodies (Down In A Hole, No Excuses, Don't Follow, Your Decision, I Stay Away, Whale & Wasp, Rotten Apple, Private Hell, Black Gives Way To Blue, as well as some of the weirdest/scariest shit I've heard haha, Godsmack, Sickman, God Am, Frogs, Head Creeps, Angry Chair, Grind, Rain When I Die.

[@mr.noride7226]

@@ShootYourRadio I think the fact that someone else being able to play his riffs this well with flawless transitions makes it better than Jerry doing it himself because Jerry already knows these riffs so I don’t think we as an audience would be expecting much because we already know he is great. There is a certain surprise factor in seeing someone other than the original artist being able to make such a good contribution.

[@maximilienrigobert4189]

The contrast with Nirvana is sadly giant, Cantrell is an unbelievable guitarist.

[@maddie8780]

I don't think you can really compare them since they are so different. Kurt was not a great guitarist, he was effective. Nirvana's lyrics were what held them up. Cantrell is an amazing guitarist. The guitar and combined lyrics held AIC up.

[@Lalairu]

Different style, Kurt was also a good song writer. He knew how to write down what the felt. That is also important.

[@ericwarner3150]

Nirvana and Alice are two different things. Cantrell is an unbelievable guitarist and song writer. Just like Nirvana they aren't the same without the lead. Never should have made new music under the name Alice In Chains.

[@MundoGamesDo]

Nirvana was more like punk rock. Just like not fair to compare Ramones with Mozart, every band was important in their meaning and purpose.

I never realized just how many AIC were out there as popular, or at least as "known" tunes till I listened to "the Essentials" all the way through.

CloudedSkies Do you like Phil Collins? I’ve been a big Genesis fan ever since their 1980 album, Duke. Before that I didn’t really understand any of their work. It was too artsy. Too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins’s presence became uh more apparent. I think Invisible Touch is the groups undisputed masterpiece. It’s an epic meditation on intangibility.

[@ВікторКуцик-б8п]

He is not the best-there are lots of guys, that can play faster, more accurate and difficult music, but Jerry definitely talented composer and songwriter as well. His solo career is also great.

hollow is one of the sickest riffs ever. that and we die young have to be 2 of the best riffs ever

At 0:53, that transition is perfect

Just about every transition on here is perfect.

That tone! Amazing! How am I just seeing this! It Ain’t Like That is such a sludgy amazing riff!

If someone asked me the question “What kind of variety do Alice In Chains have?” I would just show them this video.

Frogs is the sound of depression but where is junkhead?

[@big_red01027]

Usually when people say "hey, you missed [insert song]" it looks like a nitpick. This is not one of those cases, when the 2nd best song from the band's best record misses the cut.

@@big_red01027 What is the best off of Dirt? I wanna assume Dam that River or Them Bones but I'm not sure because everything on Dirt is a masterpiece.

[@big_red01027]

@@DoctorPepper445 "Would?", then "Junkhead".

[@mr.noride7226]

@@big_red01027 My favorite song from Dirt is Rain When I Die and Junkhead is my 2nd favorite, then I guess Angry Chair is my 3rd.

This guy makes me listen every album of every band

[@ironmaidenfan66670]

Jar Of Flies I think is my favorite album. Theres so much warmth and mellow-nostalgia I feel whenever I hear those first notes of Rotten Apple, and then when it transitions to Nutshell. I get brought back to the chilly days of Autumn, post senior year graduation in New York.. I wish I could go back...

[@miajc6606]

Yess! I also get an autumn vibe from Jar of Flies ❤

[@thomasche]

0:55 DAMN !!!! Didn't expect this. It's one of my favorite song!

[@javiermancilla9380]

Holy Fuck dude, that was amazing! You should do 50 Soundgarden Riffs, maybe they have an underrated career, but there's a lot of memorable and epic riffs

[@gavindwyer5205]

Best Soundgarden riffs please!!

[@tylerbrittan593]

Awesome job, man. One thing I noticed too is that the drums were spot on as well and that's one thing I'm really picky about. Nice attention to detail.

[@dancingcorpses5750]

Damn, Jerry is a guitar genius...❤️ Every riff sounds so unique and beautiful - one second and you immediately know which song it is. Also, you really nailed those songs - you've got some real talent man 👏🏻

[@bryceheath222]

That rooster tone is probably the best I’ve heard so far, how much chorus is needed for that.

[@AirGuitar]

You're a really fucking good guitarist dude, but your singing is equally amazing! I swear I heard Layne on Again!!

[@puntspeedchunk4214]

You played the exact riff from ‘Lab Monkey’ I was hoping you would. You do great work, brother.

Finally found Stoned!! I saw AIC and they were amazing however Stoned was a new stone for me but gawwdd that riff has sooo heavy. Thanks to you I finally found the song. You rock man thanks for this vid. I subscribed

Jerry literally has the most amazing riffs not just the heaviest the most catchiest and best riffs to offer to the grunge genre

[@mitchnorman596]

I listen to dirt on a daily basis, if not daily then semi-daily. And when I listen to dinosaurs or black gives way to blue I find myself wondering how those albums would sound if layne was still alive. It really is a shame that he’s gone.

[@genepaul2229]

My favorite 50 riffs he's made by far!

[@robertomorarelli]

grazie di esistere! Hai fatto un tributo spettacolare agli Alice

[@felipealegriasanchez8013]

impressive! this is why i love AIC!!!!!

[@hudsonja]

The way these songs blend together so well is simply magical. Obviously Jerry has a particular style, and often plays in a similar key, but the way these just mesh together is something special, and props to you for figuring out how to incorporate them.

[@adriancantoral6704]

I had to like this video as soon as I saw it on my feed. AIC is my band and you played all the riffs like Jerry!
