+Brian Welsh that's alot of people's experiences. we're dismissed as junkies, people who climbed Into that dark hole on our own. it's not always that. for some it was a physical injury or a mental disorder that brought us to a doctor who was the pusher. addiction can be a side effect of something other than just self imposed recklessness. congratulations to you as well.

"Gotta cut away, clear away Snip away and sever this Umbilical residue that's Keeping me from killing you" so tragic - the way i interrupt this from what i know is basically he is saying he needs to just cut the cord for his mother even though their eternal bond is keeping him from being able to let her go. I know he had to make an awful decision to let her go and that line gut punches me..he knows that he is connected to his mother in such a special way. Chills every time.

Orestes (Stone and Echo) and Nutshell by Alice in Chains, are beautifully written. They just keep getting better and better with time. It's hard to think of a week that has gone by without listening to either of these songs at least once over the last 10 years. Btw they flow perfectly into one another and once you listen to them together it's hard to listen to one and not listen to the other.

[@SoOutrageous]

I will be 3 years sober next month and as another person has already said, I will no longer turn to the bottle for answers, its just more misery, and misery loves company. One Day at a Time. Its Maynards singing in this song, the echo timing, he really sounds like hes really feeling this song. Everything about this live performance oozed perfection.

As incredible a virtuoso vocalist Maynard is not to mention the coolest close ups ever from the side with the dark sunglasses, Billy Howerdel is THE SHOW here. The remarkably grandiose and extraordinary extended guitar solo, the equally cavalier stage presence, and most of all the golden one man choir sultry vocal range he possesses. Neither man is a mere mortal. And yes this is the best performance of any song by anyone I have had the great pleasure of listening to a hundred times... this week.

[@colinrambo7848]

couldn't have said it any better...

This. Reading the majority of the comments you'd think Maynard composed this song, played a mean guitar solo for at least a third of it, and backed himself on the vocals here. As godly figure as he is in general, he's only one half of the perfect circle.

[@failtolawl]

​​@@StayWeird bro chill tf out, Maynard is the one that makes these groups happen. You can see how much he is the essence of this band by how terrible Skeletor's solo projects are. Also yea, Maynard is the common demoninator for three ingenious bands. Nobody else here did anything else remarkable.
