One of my favorite things about this band and all the other 90's bands is that they all have their own sound. When you hear Alice In Chains come on there is no mistaking them. To many bands sound the same anymore.

[@volman5033]

+jimmy fabs grunge was definitely the best thing to come around since early new wave in the 80's. sadly grunge gave way to match box 20, everlear and other crap. it hasn't recovered since.

[@Daedalus4]

+joe Vol Alice In Chains were never a pure grunge band. They were technically a Heavy Metal bands with strong alt-rock influences that just kinda got caught up in that whole scene at the time because they were from Seattle. Which worked amazingly for them, to be honest. But you're right, Post-Grunge has completely ruined Grunge's reputation. I just call most of that generic garbage Radio Rock and dismiss it.

[@thelie876]

William is a great voice and song writer. When you think that you have to replace someone on a team, you never meet your own expectations. I have heard several interviews with Jerry, and he has never talked about William "replacing" Layne. He talks about how William fits right in and is a member of AIC. Reality is Layne passed away, the band wanted to continue and they found a great artist in William who ADDS to the AIC lineage. William was never their to replace, he was their to add a level to the band and he has done so fantastically. Thank you William.

[@adamturner1563]

You are lying.

[@expERiMENTik_gaming]

He's an incredible talent. Similar situation to the Rev and Avenged Sevenfold. How do you replace The Rev? They got Dream Theater's drummer, who payed homage to the old style while staying true creatively to his own style. Rare, but possible.

[@Gannoh]

+Ed Braciszewski he still tours with Soundgarden, Myles Kennedy would've been great, this was around the time of Alter Bridge forming.

[@ebraski3]

+BpPir This is after Alter Bridge, I saw Soundgarden and AIC at MMRbq in Camden ,nj in 2013. great in his own band. he is soundgarden. I just dont think he'd be right for AIC. Jerry is the sound of them musically and Cornell is a singwriter as well it wouldnt last long and would conflict with their sound

[@DakotaDoesStuff64]

Just found out this track is from 2009, it sounds so close to the sound/vibe of the original three albums. No one tops Layne, but DuVall is a respectable replacement. This track is as good as modern rock gets, in my opinion. That is if you'd consider this modern.

[@DakotaDoesStuff64]

+Adam Brier - Granted, yes, DuVall is more stable, but I don't share in your disdain for Layne. He gave so much to the band, both in his lyrics and his performances, and even more to the music industry. Yes, he was a serious addict, but that's nothing to shame him for- it's the music industry, furthermore the rock music industry. An industry synonymous with drugs, the temptation is everywhere. Guys like Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and recently Scott Weiland, were all beyond talented- but their addictions crippled and killed them, both in the sense of potential and the literal sense. Still, that doesn't mean they deserve to be judged so harshly in the aftermath of their passing. They deserve to be mourned- it begs the question "what if?" Imagine if legends like Layne, Cobain, etc, lived into old age? If they had more time to compose more music? Would they be around today? We'll never know. But as long as there are people who can hear, the music of men like Layne will live on for him.

[@siegmund87]

+Adam Brier That ain't how Will feels. That's not how the whole band feels. So where you get this idiotic notion that you knew him better than they did. Go ahead and try heroin. See how easy it is to get rid of that shit. I'm pretty certain you would not be able to without some form of help.

I was in deep depression back in 2009 when I first heard this song. It sounded relatable, it was angre but Cantrell have this gift to give angriness, a pitch of vulnerability. It got me headbanging for the first time in months. I carry this moment with me until today, Everytime I feel down, I put this song up to eleven and just stop and remember how many shit I went through, and stood for myself anyway. If you are suffering, mentally, may this song give your suffering some meaning. Today I still struggle with depression, more than 10 years after, and listening this song gives me a reminder of how strong I am, even if don't realize. So are you, stand-up, just enough bang your head, you still alive for a reason. And if you give up, You will never know. (Got very emotional, sorry) Layne must be proud.

[@lovor01]

Jerry has a clever way of writing songs which anyone with basic music education will understand. In the verse, he often uses dissonant chords and melodies, while in the refrain he goes to consonant and memorable stuff. This makes pronounced contrast in the song, making the refrain more catchy. A cunning trick. He also uses a lot of fourth interval in the vocals, and those two things together with characteristic sound make this band unique.

[@mincemeat9830]

That riff is so tough. AIC never strays away from dirty dark heavy music

This is good but add Layne with Duvall and have them alternate lead vocals on different songs, AIC would be unstoppable.

No other band who peaked in the 90's is doing anything this good now. Love these guys!!

[@ojibwayinca8487]

Here because of Beato's interview with Jerry. Sick, sick tune.

[@antivst]

I will forever love this band

[@klystron22]

I love when they perform this song live! Love that riff, and the rhythm. Just timeless stuff.

[@dragonsfire6664]

How the hell does cantrell come up with these melodic grooves? The shit gets in my brain and I can’t get it out,

[@Trevor6714]

“Can you sew them shut?” “Tears that fill my bowl” both really haunting and catchy at the same time, he’s still got it

[@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq]

It is very psychedelic if you listen to it carefully.

[@shirinatron]

@@Trevor6714 I always thought it was "bong" lol... Upon googling it seems like it's "bones" but he definitely doesn't have an "s" at the end so 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Trevor6714]

@@shirinatron probably lost somewhere in the mixing of the song, or maybe he is saying bong and is just messing with us lol

[@shirinatron]

@@Trevor6714 if you Google check my brain + bong, lots of lyrics websites think it's bong lol...but most think bones. But it's a song about drugs. 🥴 Maybe "bones" is like the pg, daytime version of "bong"/"bowl"

[@dareelcabbagelord1332]

Just saw them live at Bridgestone arena with Korn, that was the first time I heard this song and I can’t get enough of it🤘🏻

[@skullchimes]

my legs be having chills bc of this this is the music I live for

[@bunnisnuggl8813]

I miss Layne but A.I.C. still brings it.-Luv 'Em-Peace!!

[@wiiman-kw7xl]

+Iblis Azazel go fuck yourself

[@tisfortexas1]

And a donkey with a big green dick. LOl.

[@TokeyTheBear_AOE]

This really shows how much contribution comes from Cantrell, and just how good Duval is. Layne's shoes are nearly impossible to fill.

[@pratikshitnanda5024]

This song is ridiculously awesome! Shocked to see only 5.5M views

[@Vijayfrfr]

this is their absolute best riffing so far past n present all through their lives. its astonishing to know how this riff was created where n when so crushing....

[@bryani2449]

To me since Layne died, Jerry is Alice in chains..... And this is one of my all-time favorite Alice in chains songs

[@Jay-fx4tx]

I love the riff

[@jeremyclark7872]

That riff has invaded my brain and refuses to leave.

[@johnsmith-nm7vj]

the dude that said no lyrics needed, so true bro, such a mean ass riff

[@sonnyvictor3584]

I just love how Alice in Chains did not fall apart despite the New members. Duvall has all my respect.

[@garysneed124]

Saw them with Duvall here in N'Awlins. Still great. William adds the added dimension of a second guitar. This iteration of AIC rocks out too!

[@kennethdibenedetti4247]

the new guitarist is one lucky mthrfkr. he is lovin it

[@niahenson2211]

this song has always reminded me of that faint lawnmower sound in the neighborhood at 5pm on a Sunday

[@Bulletman426]

I know this is an older video, but fuck this is good stuff. The recording is so thick, it's nuts. The guitar tones are incredible. You guys are badass!!

[@gruffmi1970]

Gotta admit this remains one of my favorite AIC songs. Really innovative use of the guitars.

[@michaelenders3600]

As good as early 1990's AIC! Well done William, WELL DONE!!!

[@kellymcgrath5541]

0:39 Hi Layne... we've missed you

[@kennyhunter23]

I still remember when this song came out. I knew from the first riff AiC was back!

[@ranger5281]

Jerry's move to Los Angeles, forever memorialized in this heavy, heavy tune. There is some deep dark stuff implied in those lyrics... gets me everytime... reminds me of the 3 most amazing Summer months of my life when I LIVED it... and that's what great music is all about... finding something deep and dark inside of you to pull out, to force you to reckon with. Brilliant.

[@realmackle]

Grunge harmony is so amazing sounding

[@pennywise247]

saw them live last summer! such a kick ass show!

[@kristianduvall7326]

pennywise247 Thunder Valley Casino, Lincoln California, July 25th OUTDOORS :-p www.stubhub.com/alice-in-chains-tickets/alice-in-chains-lincoln-thunder-valley-casino-7-25-2015-9259776/

[@pennywise247]

Kristian Du Vall Sweet, To bad I'm not in California.

[@mrslov3tt3]

pennywise247 I see them in July at a small venue I am so excited

[@pennywise247]

Im jelly! they put on one hell of a show! Enjoy!

[@dylanarnold3961]

pennywise247 I wish I could go to an AIC show but I'm too young :(

[@thechratheosticpwnerofmega925]

i've been spoiled over the years by this truly epic band.

[@natepolidoro4565]

I love how if you put on closed captions, it just says "(hard rock music)" in the beginning. Damn right.

[@imrithor]

I think Jerry filled Layne's shoes quite well. He didn't copy Layne....he just did his own thing...respect
