Alice in Chains "No Excuses"

[@Nirvana069420]

I was the "fanboy" in the front. What happend was they were about to play a different tune and i was bummed and my buddy to my right, Joel, and to my left, dad, was like "Play No Excuses it's his favorite tune!" Then, Sean jokingly played part of the drum intro then stopped, & Jerry said "Yeah Man, let's do it!" Then they started to play it. I balled my eyes out lol. Jerry used a Tekamine, will used a gibson, mike used a warwick, and sean used a dw kit. Sean was smoking lights, & the rest of the band smoked reds, except will cuz he doesnt smoke. I loved it!

[@andyinoregon]

Thanks for getting them to play my favorite AIC song. One of the strongest instrumental grooves in all of rock and roll.

[@KattFromEXOPlanet]

Wow! awesome, it's one of my favourites too!

[@Mirauge]

Wow man, truly inspirational. How more in touch with your fans can you get. Can't imagine how that must have felt. Thanks for sharing. Jerry was smiling when he saw you tear up and wipe your face.

[@genxguy5275]

Very cool man. I'm jealous as hell! Still a great band and Jerry is just so awesome. My idol on guitar for sure. I didn't even notice his guitar is a Tekamine until i read your post. I have one just like it except mine is black. Bought it in Memphis a few years ago. I play the same guitar as Jerry Cantrell! Holy dogshit! You just made my year dude. Thanks for being in the front row bro!

[@genxguy5275]

Rite on bro.

[@TrevTrev25]

I love how Jerry noticed the gushing fanboy in the front row right when they first started playing- he watched his friends pat his back and just smiled like a "I'm dishing out this kid's favorite song of all time, right in front of him" kinda look. Jerry is fucking cool I am glad he got sober!

[@SlimReaper-xb3et]

With or without freaking Layne the band is still freaking amazing im not one of those people that just like the older AIC i appreciate both forever i love alice in chains

[@Aryanof99]

Me too buddy

[@anthonycooper7464]

I don’t know they seem depressed... I would be too... William is the only that doesn’t have that depression vibe.

[@ChrisB8711]

One of the few bands that are even better live.

[@reedbenenate8399]

Jerry Cantrell has a very great talent for guitar playing.

[@machoscheesesalteredego1843]

Awesome singer as well!

[@chriswostmann744]

Especially for wrinting iconic songs with a deep meaning! The Drummer is amazing as well.

[@Flintster56]

Sean is so fucking smooth. One of my very favorite drummers.

[@smoovelurq8915]

👌🏽Smooth. Took the word right out of my mouth. Dude never wastes a single stroke.

[@emmadennett2408]

I love that no one is in the middle, a space for Layne, so respectful, so much love

[@andyinoregon]

From that too cool to be believed drum intro to those final guitar chords this song has always been my favorite to ever emerge from the Seattle music scene.

[@Turk_2023]

Hard to believe they have been playing shows with Duvall for twice as long as they did with Layne...

[@OcelotDAD]

Thats not true. They played with Layne from 1987 to 1996 (9 years) and they have been playing with William since 2009, so it's actually equal.

[@itsasquid]

@@OcelotDAD They've been playing with Duvall since 2006 or 2005.

[@YeiDCalle]

Respect for Layne . No excuses with Duvall coz he does awesome

[@goudagirl6095]

I love how Sean always has kind of a smirk, like he can't be bothered, "oh, this ol' thing again?' 🙄🥁😁♥️

[@rubbersole79]

Always liked William. I think he saved this band.

[@Meterman13]

Best fit and more AIC still has it and more!!!

[@JIMMYJREVIEWS_thaiM-A-F-I-A]

MAN I LOVE THE FUCKING DRUMS SO MUCH IN THIS SONG!!!! So strong!!! Such a signature SOUND!!! Only shean could kick that kick LIKE THAT!!! Awesomeness!!! Thank you for this!!!👊✌️

[@FloridaManRacer]

ok imo. the drummer for AiC is one of the most underrated drummers in rock. listen to the beat he lays for this song. its friggen awesome.

[@tonyhSRQ]

yeah.

[@Megatube86]

Yeah dude. Totally agree. Yesterday I saw AIC live and I was also very impressed with the drummer. He plays very well.

[@radracer3]

Awesome day!Great party and the band sounded better than ever.Thanks AIC and WAAF.A day I will never forget.

[@exdemocrat9038]

Never had a chance to see them with Layne unfortunately! Saw them a bunch of times with Will & I was very impressed! My favorite show was at the Ogden theater in Denver, was billed as "an acoustic hour with Alice in Chains"

[@teresagriffin5990]

Jerry so good

[@brianwilkins524]

I see Layne sitting in the little gap there with his purple hair ripping off that great harmony. Damn we miss that guy. Great stuff guys!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@andersonadriano3525]

Animal!!! Esses caras cantam demais

[@DevlinMcGrath]

They kill this shit!!! Awesome.

[@mikemurdoch2891]

Learning this song soon

[@JohnnyNada]

Did you learn it ? I just did, its easy

[@RicardoSiqueira-e2t]

the greatest band in the world

[@locksand45]

RIP Layne, but, for me, it was actually the Black gives Way to Blue record that really got me into AIC. Duvall is awesome and their music just gets better and better imo.

[@achildr1]

It would be amazing to be introduced with BGWTB and then hear Layne...Private Hell with Layne would have been epic.

[@jonandrewfeltner513]

Bro...Were all fans here...do your self a solid...youtube it aint like that live at Moore.... Jeesus christ...That fillin in bzck ground voclist they have now for a front man is shit

[@OcelotDAD]

Thats crazy that you got into them with BGWTB. Its awesome to know that actually happened to some people.

[@briannabean9963]

miss mike and layne

[@FloridaManRacer]

totally agree

[@luciakurtakova5464]

I loveee....

[@kattaylor4035]

For all you hater's who think Layne chose to give up a awesome career and die alone at such a young age! Never judge anyone until you have lived their life and I hope no one does

[@evakovacs801]

❤🖤😍

[@LooKerHood]

Yeah! Sean Kinney rocks!

[@Dlogreen]

Yeah this beat is difficult and they kill this song.....dude, harmony is spot on!

[@muzaklover78]

If AIC members are getting old so am I ;-( RIP Layne.

[@lita477]

lovin it

[@rafayealmeida]

He has the recognition, but I agree, he's not up in a pedestal like some of the drummers we know today.

[@flamer0022]

Happy b'day Sean!

[@nartguy]

Yeah i did so too..i cant really tell this one but he used guild in unplugged, im really sure of it

[@comsat1000]

Takamine - Maple ? what guitar please?

[@SalandFindles]

His name's Sean Kinney.

[@ComaAlpha]

Man, I wish I had a second guitarist and a singer I could play this with. I've extended the solo on both the front side (verse riff before the chorus riff) and the back side (verse riff after the chorus riff) and I just want to post it here on youtube. But I only have one guitar and two arms and ZERO singing voice.

[@bretttennis5078]

If there's a will there's a way.

[@tijuanaiguana190]

overdub bub

[@ComaAlpha]

No camera for my laptop. I wish.

[@90skidwithaguitar]

I have a guitar and I sing fine. And I'm fucking crazy about AiC. But we probably live hundreds of miles away.

[@ComaAlpha]

Thais Rodrigues I'm Killeen right by Fort Hood right now. But I ultimately live in Lorain/Elyria, Ohio

[@comsat1000]

It`s a Takamine for sure - looks like one of the special editions..?

[@travisjeffrey5092]

Hey can some one flip our chicken wings?

[@SludgePunkGrunge]

well they didnt because of laynes drug problem. i love old aic with layne, but they sound good still. get over it. oh and this doesnt suck.

[@pock3r]

holy fuck

[@nartguy]

He usually uses guild guitars...he used them in the unplugged

[@goodfree1979]

They've just move on. Take it or let it be....

[@childofanovelty]

right. a "survivor" MUST do just so... Jiri Dobrovolny\\// out of respect for the energy of life itself (In My Opinion) \\// is the 4 fingers the character Spock used 4 live long and prosper. btw

[@FloridaManRacer]

definately a takamine my dream acoustic is a takamine.

[@jedsebastian]

[@panteradeath666]

yeah im the guy playin guitar. No really i am.

[@eaglelee6904]

Black in chains just kidding

[@cc92103]

Maybe it's just me, but I was not impressed with the guitar's sound quality @ 2:43. I would like to put my Korean Ibanez cutaway acoustic-electric against it and compare. Anyway, it's a great song and great band!

[@dodinatop]

this sucks! i wish they had played more acustic performances with Layne

[@fizzledope6679]

Drum beat sounds a lot like midlife crisis, imo

[@eaglelee6904]

Jerry cantrell . Why did you invite a black man

[@ohmydog9171]

better than an asian

What does that mean???
