Alice In Chains - Got Me Wrong (From MTV Unplugged)

Layne Staley passes off the melody to Cantrell in about one second flat and harmonizes precisely, in a completely different octave like it's *nothing.* I love to sing along with this band as much as the next 90's kid but I've tried it and...that's...just...insane. Genius. RIP.

your a musician Huh? Me too although am not professional. Don't think ever will be either. But I love music. Everything from Led Zep all the way to Incubus. I do play a little six string. But love the bass. I been playing bass for fifteen years. Been playing six on and of for nearly forty five years. But I never got the hang of it. I sing a little too. I was in prison for nearly 20 Years. Thats where I learned the bass, at FCI Jesup We jammed twice a week in the the rec room. and then we did shows for everybody on the holidays. It made doing that time so much easier. Enough about me, Back to your subject Yes Layne was a beast. No Excuses is my favorite song.

Amazing mic control from Layne. That’s a real subtlety when it comes to being a serious, pro level singer.

3:06 Despite how unsure Layne sounds with the word "reach", Jerry was actually the one who got the lyrics wrong. It's "reach for something strong". Jerry actually realizes and says "for" instead of "from" for the second word while Layne says "from" because he still thinks he messed up. So Layne sings "ream from" and Jerry sings "run for". I am overanalyzing, but these guys must have had nerves of steel to slip up like this and continue sounding awesome.

The level of talent on this stage is just insane. Will another band on this level ever exist again given the state of rock and way the industry is now? I don't think so. Alice in Chains coming together was like lightening striking the tip of a needle, they were a gift from the universe to all of us. This whole set was near perfect.....not many bands could pull this off. I put this right up there with Queen's live-aid performance on the all time great live performance list.

[@bobbywhiteman9421]

Also, I don't think such a musical revolution that comes from a specific geographical location will ever happen again, so much good music all from Seattle area, so much good music, I didn't think music would ever suck so bad like it does today, so lucky to have lived through the 80sand90s,so much good music, and MTV was actually Kool and showed videos, today, MTV is pure garbage, like most of today's music, thank God for foo fighters, one of the few good bands now, experiencing this whole Seattle music scene was so fucking awesome, I'm sure nothing like this will ever happen again, so many badass bands from one geographical location.

[@timmyakastevo]

Lanes voice gives me goose bumps in this song

[@chrisblanton1087]

There will never be music like this ever again, Layne was obviously on his way out but bless the rest of the band for a sound and vocals we will never experience again.

[@slipped21]

Rest in Peace Layne, it's now 2019, 17 years later and I will forever play your body of work.

[@BetterCallShannon]

It’s good to see Layne come to life a little bit on this one. Head bobbing and what not. I can’t imagine how he felt this night. It’s clear he was fked up most of the night but still had that incredible talent come out on que every time. Best performance IMO.

[@KrendallMobile]

From what I've heard and read, he was pretty bad. Still, I respect the man for basically forcing himself to be there and give such a great performance.

I think this is wayyyyyyyy better than the studio version

Just fucking amazing. The harmony these two made together is untouched. Laynes talent was off the chart during the duets. I hope everyone hears this set the way I do. Fucking Incredible

Layne's voice at 2:16 .....chills

[@MatthewGrey-j7h]

Love it. Layne at his best. This is documented rock n roll history. ❤

[@noahkb80]

Never can get over how far from the mic Layne keeps his voice. It's so damn powerful. Just pure god given ability that he has mastered with hard work and knowing his voice and sound so well to know little tricks like that. One of the best characteristics of AIC as a whole is how much focus emphasis they put into making their sound

[@iLuseMy1v1s]

This version is 100x better than the studio version. How is that even possible!? Edit maybe 10x better a 100x might be a tad dramatic.

Being somewhat in his shoes for a time… when you are trapped in the clutches of addiction, you just wanna crawl in a hole & hide from the rest of the world! He went out there in front of all of those people and still went on with the show, what a voice! RIP Mr Staley 🥲❤️✌🏻🤟🏻 2:13

Any old goof can sing a heavy song powerfully, but it takes a master of his craft to sing so gently yet with so much power and emotion

When the two of these dudes sing together it instantly sounds like 4 I don’t get it 😊

[@ldude]

so so true YES!

[@Imgema]

I can't have enough of the bass in this song.

[@deutschchad1399]

Best performance of Laynes life. He had 1 concert after this and it was amazing also. I struggled with the same substance my whole life and I don’t know of anyone else that could do this while strung out. Amazing

[@LSUOdyssey]

nope, they played an entire tour after this in 1996 opening for Kiss, at least 6 shows? something like that? but i get what you mean, however some drug addicts can play well drugged up.

[@danopticon]

Most things are actually easier on that particular helper, at least up to a point - and then yes, returns diminish … but there’s a reason people do these things: to quote, I think it was Mitch Hedberg? “Not all drugs are good … some of them are great!” Your fingers feel more limber, your vocal cords loosen up, you’re flexible and disinhibited, after years of gray instead it feels like all the color and sound and flavor have returned to the world, your cares are gone, old grudges disappear, the world is in tune … if you can stay awake, it’s great, and even sleep is better. But like I said, it can have diminishing returns: high cost, dealers suddenly disappearing on you for weeks or trying to make an extra buck my mixing your shit with something stupid or insoluble like baby powder, cops fucking with you just to fuck with you or to meet some quota even though they don’t really give a shit and they’re all on steroids or worse themselves … even if you have the money, it gets messy and unpleasant as time goes on. But it’s still all worth it: again, if it sucked, people wouldn’t do it; the sad reality is, it’s fucking great - it’s just everything around it which sucks, and of course because it’s an unmonitored black market substance you never know what you’re getting, and that can mess up your health in an instant too.
