Alice in Chains - Nutshell (with solo)

[@turns2ashes]

“We’re gonna play a song for the boys, Layne and Mike” perfect

[@Bella_X]

It absolutely was a perfect night.

[@Denbot_is_here]

This song will forever be a time machine for me. I can close my eyes and be transported to 1994 at any moment. RIP Layne.

I know the feeling.

[@wanderlking8634]

Just a guess, but I imagine some stuff is so painful all you can do is keep playing the music. Utterly beautiful. Layne and Mike live on in those notes.

[@Bella_X]

Absolutely! I don’t think it ever goes away. This is just one of those songs.❤️

[@morm226]

[@bradnystrom1794]

You said it best! Jerry pays tribute to his fallen band mates every chance he gets. That band has a great story to tell. Jerry is the stronghold to Alice…..!

[@Woolseyofficial.]

Yeah I feel the same thoughts it’s a sort of look back on the good times through playing the songs like yes this is one of their most recognized songs (tbh their whole discography is beyond words every song is a gem) and yes this song was written during a very dark time in their lives but it’s not even about that anymore it’s about keeping their friends memory with them as it should be no matter where they go or do Layne is forever and as well as Mike too RIP to both

[@bob-ln3yv]

Don't ever try fentynal or heroin.

[@chrishowell6549]

You know what is so great about Jerry? The thing I've never seen him credited for is the thousands (maybe) of interviews that he's done that inevitably go back to talking about Lane without him snapping. I think I watched one moment where he vocalized this, but consider the many times that he didn't, and played it off with class. That's Jerry Cantrell class.

[@Bella_X]

I’m sure it’s probably been at least hundreds of interviews and you’re right he always handles those interviews so well. Since the beginning he’s always demonstrated a level of calmness which had to have been difficult especially in the months following Layne’s passing. He’s always been a very chill guy though, very down to earth.❤️

Thtthat makes you a creep hands down a creep who wanted to see what I would say to someone I trust ans cherish. So you know who I am God I hope it's him (sorry for all the long mind fu--'zz conversations I getcobfysed on this never know if I talking to one person or alot of people I write for couple places so I think I'm writing sometimes. But if this person's purposefully waning to see my dialect eith Mr. Çantrell I would only allow myself to go to that most uncomfortable place of privacy pain & hurt or o know what u are insistently insensitivity immorality ignorantly aggressively with malicious intent I believe your someone who stalked watched me both in person and from afar we had quite the thing going on. No you did. You were a freak obsessed took my pant nevermind you entered my home. You exited my home. You've been gone for years. I hope it's him or you're honestly scaring me to my core. Shouldn't tell u that but I'm going through enough please don't my dad is gone I only trust one man on the planet. He doesn't know I exist I'd never bother hi with this kind of shit. Ys know what bring it. I've got nothing left to lose. You've got a 50 50 chance problem is I 5 foot 4 120. You're 6 2 fucking huge. Being it ill do my he's to end it with you not breathing to hurt anyone else. Come pn big shot there's no way om going to go through being terrified again come on.....I'll put up the west fight you ever had. Promise LASTLY I'm not where I was before. I'm leaving where I am now. Unless you've been a busy freak again standing in bushes watching coward. See I like real men you jealous of jerry for sure. You know he can approach women you know he can attain women consensual willing as a lover I see him as someone I know would protect me from someone like you. You scare women I know I shouldn't let you know that. It's the truth. That's a woman's biggest fear. Jerry's just a regular man to me I love his music keeps me alive sometimes no shit. But but I'm down in a hole right now fucker and if this is my next twist of fate before I go to the gate. I'll do my best to wait yes I believe it's jerry cantrell but now I'm thinking no. I believe and I'm gullible but I'm not stupid or dumb. I am wishing for a miracle now but I see him as he'd be a blast to meet. I love his stage presence but I'd rather have him sitting next to me just as jerry. I'm just me I believe in Faye and faith but I'm exhausted. Don't have much more in me if someone doesn't save me first time ever I'm having trouble Savin myself. I need to see him I really do but now here comes you again I think You're on my tablet the other nite too right? No I'm to stressed we'd sit together quiet and just breath we wouldn't have to speak. He needs to see me as well in person so I can take away some of his private hell. ⁰omg checking GPS going on tablet I'll. E on both my site. He's busy guy so u used his name? Shit I'll cry.

Well, Duvall could never replace Layne, just as you can't replace Chris Cornell or Chester, but l he tries, and I'm so glad that there is still an A.I.C. to listen to. The later albums made with William are truly his and really really good, it's just you can't replace an icon on the ones he sang before you. Jerry is unbelievable, and I'm glad he's still making music !! Rock on boys !!

Nutshell was always near the top of my list for favorite AIC songs, but after they opened their MTV unplugged set with this song, it not only instantly became my all time #1 song of their's, but that acoustic version became my go to instead of the album version as it is just so powerful! Losing Layne was no doubt devastating, but finding and adding William was a brilliant choice! Can he sing like Layne...no...not many can, BUT William isn't too far off and he brings so much passion in his singing.

Walked into my favorite bar yesterday. Only 2 girls in there playing pool. After listening to their 10 song stretch of country on the jukebox, I played my usual, which starts with some AIC. I hear the chic complain to her friend, that she didn’t like this song, which was real thing. Then this song comes on. She walks up to the bar to get a water close to me, and says to the bartender, who’s playing this stuff. I’m like, I am, she goes, yer gonna make me cry, I responded, I had to cry listening to your country music! 😂

[@Bella_X]

lol…that’s great.

[@trisharivers5588]

You can see how Jerry is thinking about the days at the Music Bank when Layne got him a place to stay when he was 21 and had no where else to go

[@Bella_X]

You can absolutely tell he’s thinking of Layne and Mike when he plays this song.

[@davidking6008]

i LOVED the Music Bank box set they released 20 years ago or so. there were a shit-load of great liner notes, some of them very personal, including the stories behind “Nutshell” and “Rooster”. painful and beautiful to read. RIP Layne and Starr…

[@nelliesilvers1210]

I love Cantrell but without Layne, it's just not the same. They've definitely had some epic music come out with DuVall but, to me, Layne and Jerry's harmonisations made AIC as great as they are. The pain in Layne's vocals helped many of us through dark times. I'll always be a Layneaholic.

[@nickthompson729]

Big facts❤️❤️❤️

[@TacoBell5DollarBox]

its obvious man. You do not have to state this. They all know it. Layne is literally one of a kind.

[@erwinrommel2055]

I've had to let that pain go along with my addiction. I can't listen to this anymore. But it still has a lot of meaning.

[@Legoboygago]

"The pain in Layne's vocals helped many of us through dark times".. true story..

[@Bella_X]

It wasn’t ever meant to be the same after Layne passed away. The guys at some point felt they needed to decide whether to continue on with or without Layne and subsequently Mike. I don’t feel a lot of people take into account how heavy this choice was, to choose between quitting or moving forward. While all of you have the right to your own opinions Jerry, Sean and Mike had the right to begin a new era with the remaining members of AIC, respectfully.

[@StrawberrySunday212]

This was the 1st AIC song i'd ever listened to..It was unplugged around 8 months ago. My mind was blown..Now I'm addicted to AIC, but with Layne, sorry.

[@pigulyv6260]

same. i love layne and miss him so much, but some new songs are still good tho. but it'll never be the same :(

[@nelliesilvers1210]

Yeah. They've brought out some great songs with DuVall but it's just not the same without Layne. His vocals and the feeling behind them make the experience MUCH better. Even in songs Jerry wrote, Layne's pain made those lyrics his.

To each their own, but AIC was the Layne Staley/Jerry Cantrell harmonies. William Duvall is talented, but it hasn't been Alice In Chains since Staley's death. Staley made this song heartfelt & haunting, Duvall is just singing someone else's song...

To each their own indeed, but what a different world it would be if every single band that lost an original member just decided to give up after said band member passed away. A lot of music wouldn’t exist if that were the case.
