Alice In Chains - Would? (Official HD Video)

No one will ever believe this, but it is true. When I was 19 years old I wrote endless fan mail to this band. I covered the outside of my letters with art work, made all sorts of jokes using the lyrics of their songs. Even suggested they lift some weights. About 1 month later I received an envelope in the mail from the band. They all wrote personalized notes to me - every single member of the group. Layne responded to me, writing "What?! You didn't know? I'm doing it for the kids!" They all took a picture flexing, joking back to my comment about hitting the gym. Through many moves I believe I lost all of those letters. Someday, I hope they turn up in some box I have not looked in or uncovered so that I can share them with everyone else who loved this band. They were the real deal. All of them took the time to write a lonely kid who idolized them and hung on every lyric just to get through the day. It still amazes me that they took the time to make such a personal connection with me. I hope this story adds even more love to those AIC fans who felt the same way I did when I wrote the band. They truly cared about their fans.

Back then I'm sure they got high and went through letters like people do today with comments and emails. I'm sure your letters stood out and they appreciated the effort. If you can make a person laugh it means a lot.

[@paulsmith5611]

I believe it. I live in the Seattle area and my uncle was a nurse in the emergency room of Highline Community Hospital in the mid and late 90s. Mike Starr came into the ER for a heroin overdose one night. My uncle and the crew helped him that night and Mike autographed a Dirt CD and wrote "thank you for saving my life" on it. Unfortunately I think my uncle has lost the CD over the years and after several moves, just like you lost your letters from the band. A female coworker who is still friends with my uncle, likes to remind us that she had to take out Starr's nipple rings before the doctors started working on him.

Jerry and Layne's voices are magic to my ears. . Layne's loss was tragic, but so was Mike's. When he died, people only knew him from Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, not as the amazing bassist he was in AiC. RIP Layne and Mike.

[@codycooper5768]

I've always enjoyed alice in chains well enough, but honestly it wasn't until fairly recently that I REALLY got into them and came to love their music.. I grew up watching MTV, rocking out. I was pretty young when grunge was peaking, so it took me awhile to truly appreciate some of those bands. Here today, the more I go back and rediscover alice in chains, the more I love them!! Such an incredible band. Layne had one of the most powerful and haunting, beautiful voices of all time. And Jerry Cantrell is in my opinion criminally underrated! Alice in Chains fucking rules!

[@zionjacobs1308]

The real sadness behind this song is so profound. Layne wore sunglasses to mask his highness while filming this music video. The song is well-known to be written about close friend and fellow grunge frontman Andrew Wood who died from a heroin overdose. It is a direct embodiment of the feeling of addiction and succumbing to this disease wondering if its ever too late to turn back. Jerry Cantrell wrote it who probably also had his fair share of these struggles. Layne's performance in this song is so captivating because he is walking the exact path he is singing about, battling the same battle that his friend did and lost. Of course, Layne's passing was heartbreaking and difficult for those around him who saw his decline and wanted to help. So sad that addiction and depression causes you to isolate and mainly hang with other addicts just like what happened with Kurt and Mike Starr. Mike was supposedly the last person to see Layne alive, and after a failed attempt to send him to the hospital, got high himself and blacked out for 2 weeks. Imagine being at rock bottom and your only company are your lifetime friends whose only common ground is being stuck at rock bottom. Mike was one of the only people to stay in touch with Layne, and him the only AiC member he kept in touch with after he was kicked out of the band, because of their shared habit. I'm sure they both wanted each other to get out of there for their sake. Makes me very mournful for all the talent and their amazing souls that were lost to addiction or depression. Mental health is no joke, it can affect you no matter how successful or unsuccessful you are. Long live those that have overcome these struggles and are still rockin'.

When I was 18, we said goodbye to Layne, and I was really sad. I read that layne had a foundation made in his name. I wrote a small letter to them, explaining how much Layne meant to all of us, and a lot of our youth struggles with drugs, depression, etc. I wrote that I was an addict too. Since I was 15. I also sent $1. I was definitely not expecting a letter written back to me from Layne's mom. Her name is Nancy McCullum, and she runs the foundation. She sent me a poster of aic from the Moore Theater, some stickers, and in solemn disbelief, the program from Laynes celebration of life (or funeral) The program had the names Chris Cornell, Mark Lanagan from Screaming Trees, and Nancy and Ann Wilson from Heart. Chris Cornell and Heart did a cover of "Ring them Bells" written by Bob Dylan, and Mark Lanagan read a poem Layne had written. Anyway, I never thought that sending $1 to Laynes foundation would merit anything! Nancy, Laynes mom said encouraging words to me in regards to my opiate dependency. After years of on again off again substance abuse, I'm finally 150 days sober. It gets better. Thank you Nancy, Laynes mom, for the awesome keepsakes, and for giving birth and raising my favorite singer. God bless and take life one day at a time.

Alice in Chains have never been "grunge". They've always been hard rock. Same with Soundgarden. "Grunge" isn't really a genre, just a description, according to Mark Arm, who supposedly came up with the term (he says he didn't though, as he said the whole idea came from Australia in the 80's). "Grunge" was a ploy to try to box bands into a marketable genre.
