Alice In Chains - Your Decision (Official Music Video)

[@davidnissim589]

William DuVall doesn’t deserve any of the crap he gets. He’s not trying to replace or be Layne, he’s just another guitarist/singer who AIC thought would be good for their band. As amazing as Layne was, William is doing a good job paying tribute.

[@mikeysuzefour]

I always thought he complimented Jerry after joining the band.

His voice matches well with Jerry. Different to Layne, but still good. The songs are still top class as well

Videos like this are one of the things that makes me love this band. I was curious about the symbolism in the video. So I took a look at the card that the woman dropped. "1023 Corinthians Drive". Not a great leap to connect that with a passage in Corinthians 10:23 , which reads (depending on which translation you choose) "Everything is permitted, but everything isn't beneficial. Everything is permitted, but everything doesn't build others up.". That passage seems to fit well with the theme of the video. Very thoughtful and creative. "it is your Decision to do whatever you wish, but that choice may not be the best for you or others". AIC has always had great videos.

@Jerry Cantrell you shouldnt be impersonating someone your not you gave yourself away by saying I bet your surprised to hear from me...I dont think jerry has that big of an ego...later

[@Eddie_3607]

It’s 2020 and this song hasn’t aged a bit!

[@grungemetalhd1668]

I got into all these songs in 2020, off black gives way to blue and dinosaurs, really amazing stuff

[@larryworkman2093]

The reason why this sounds like the OG is because of Jerry's unique ability to harmonize with Layne. His creativity and amazing voice enhanced and elevated Layne's vocals. Not just with his guitar but his voice as well. Even the new lead singer blends amazingly well with Jerry in the background. You still get that AIC feeling every time. I couldn't be happier that they have reformed (even though it's been many years now). I got to meet Layne back in 1992. They had just wrapped up the Dirt album and were playing it at this house party before it was even released. He was an amazing guy and gave me his time without hesitation even though I was a nobody Montana boy.. I still remember every word. My buddy introduced us and I said I just moved from Billing Montana. He said, "It's that by Kalispell??? I said "Close enough! It's an honor to meet you. We listen to you all the time and I'm in love with the Sap album. He just said "right on". Thanks man. That's all I can remember but he was just chill. FYI... Kalispell is nowhere near Billings lol. I guarantee he would be honored for Jerry to continue on the legacy that is Alice in Chains. I promise you he has realized his addiction was a crutch for the band and he has learned the true value of life. I embrace every member of this band because they still produce quality music and always pay homage to Layne in the lyrics. Jerry again goes above and beyond in his ability to honor and reproduce the sound that we have all grown to love. If you can't appreciate the fact that we still get to listen to AIC music then kindly fuck off. That's all I gotta say about that...

Amen brother

[@baneleaf7025]

The one thing you have to realize with the new line up for AiC is that Jerry is singing a lot more which is why the songs sound very similar to the original line up with Layne. The new singer has talent but Jerry is what pulls the two versions together.

[@Kiwiluv4tunes]

Jerry C is the man!!! I put my hat down to the guy and his musical style captures me....he song wrote majority for AIC, his signature rhythms are fricken out of this world!! especially when he creates those dark sounding string bending riffs. The guy is a legend!!! And at this present, is still representing. He ain't no sell out that's for sure. And you can tell when he heavily implements his style in some tracks.

[@Britton_Thompson]

+KalarniaTamila Yeah, as it is with just about everything associated with Alice In Chains, Jerry Cantrell is among the most overlooked & underrated guitarists & songwriters of his era. Alice always had that extra dimension of blues & classic Southern rock in their arsenal that was every bit as mindblowing as their crunchy, monster riffs and fist pumping headbangers.

[@notwhileimaround2]

as well as the old dark hymnal sounds....very heavily influenced in all aic music as well as jerry's solo's

[@sarumadaki]

Um, obviously? He's the link between the two eras???? I mean, what kind of observation was that???

[@skipperdaripper2164]

+Kwest well said

[@solmoossm]

The whole album is a masterpiece but when I found this song, it blew my mind into space and visualised an image of Layne Staley looking down and smiling.

[@devious187]

One of the most beautiful songs ever, Jerry is a goddamn genius

[@theshih-tzudad4068]

I first heard Alice in Chains when I was hired to work for an Active Rock station in 2001. Loved every song we ever played by Alice In Chains. Can't get enough of their music. This video must be about Hotel California. You can check out but you can never leave.

[@StarWarsBattleFron]

Hardcore AIC fans dont hate Duvall, its the newbies who think its cool to hate a new singer after the original died or left. I have seen it to other bands

[@orfeaskoukoumis5877]

And this is where it all started for me. I remember listening to this song on the radio back then. Never heard of AIC before but i liked the song very much. After a couple of years i finally got internet to my house, i still remembered this song so i decided to search the band. Yep, i discovered a fucking treasure. Little did i know it was only the introduction to my most loved band to this day!

[@xxxtenksxxx8748]

This is the greatest band ever brother. I'm in some deep depression right now and this is the only band that picks me up so I can function.

[@orfeaskoukoumis5877]

​@@xxxtenksxxx8748 We all got our demons and good music is a strong medicine. I love listening to "Get born again" when im in my dark moods. Just keep listening to anything that makes you feel strong and no matter what remember that you are not alone!

[@MB-tb5vt]

I've loved AIC since the very beginning and I can definitely say there's no other band out there with the real raw emotion and truth that this band sings about. It resonates with so many of us. It's why I've always loved them. I miss Layne dearly, but William isn't too bad.

[@nealdamkjer192]

Rock 'N Roll True Stories brought me here. GREAT channel. I'm dumb, I stopped listening to AIC when Layne passed. They are still great with DuVall. Just was set in my ways, gotta keep an open mind.

[@bennyarredondo1383]

Great song. Thank you Lane for all the inspiration. Thank you Jerry for keeping it going. Thank you Alice in Chains for coming back and keeping this alive.

[@bulletz9280]

Can you imagine if this was released back in '92 at the height of the Seattle scene? This song would've been huge.

[@Bacon56ful]

Eh, it would be on the same level as Heaven Beside You

[@RJ67.]

or even now if they had chris cornell as lead vocals ..the emotion would return in the music there's just no emotion in this band anymore at least that's how it seems to me

[@RJ67.]

+Rick it's just as if they're doing it because they have to....... not because they want to

[@RJ67.]

+Rick 4:13

[@jamesmace2623]

+Rick and it sounds like that because the true pain and misery of art died. thats the epitomy of creation,,,pain and misery with whats bared before your life, the creation of art off of misery is a form of trying to create something interesting something that doesnt make u want to pull ur hair out and gouge out on eye just for fun.h he became bored becoming commercialized and ended the artistic misery he felt. plus withdraws a btch.

[@daveb6214]

This never gets old , it still rocks today even after all these years.

[@carajillodwsq]

Most of the bands that release a new album after a long time use to make it according the new sounds and they don't seem the same band, specially if the main singer is different. However, this song is like time never went by and Layne Staley was still alive: same groove, same vocal armonies... it's like it was 1994 again.

[@keeranimal8]

carajillodwsq Yep...always thought this tune would fit on Jar Of Flies as well as any of the new albums...timeless...

[@robertdoyle9180]

I saw Aic first tour/show with William in Portland, M.E. Jerry opened saying we love and miss you every day Layne, almost brought a tear to my eye. Then they rocked.Wish I had been a little older so I could’ve seen Layne play in 90’s.

[@BadAl27722]

Tasteful guitar! Jerry is a monster! Love the lead licks and bits and the various tones he uses!

[@fanofthewylde2933]

I love how when you hear the first few strums on the guitar, you can kinda tell it's Jerry Cantrell.

[@the92project]

Or Polly by Nirvana 🤣

[@89Pleasek]

Jerry is such an underrated vocalist.

[@sludge-factory]

And guitarist

[@danielclark1741]

Call me crazy but this track is probably my favorite by AIC both new and old lineup. It’s got the classic harmonies but it’s groove is just awesome with heartfelt and heartbreaking lyrics

[@71nicolasa]

In my mind, I can almost hear Layne singing from heaven as well. The BEST band EVER

[@h8rainzombiegirl]

Jerry Cantrell is amazing! I love this song. (July 2019-Oregon)

[@laurastrobel718]

Agreed😃

[@evanhickey3036]

In the beginning, I was having those nostalgic 'nutshell' feelings. Amazing!

[@msbaguette]

no one could ever replace layne but william duvall sure is doing an amazing job

[@thomasshannon9662]

I really think this is right up there with one of their best songs.

[@Maximus-hq1cz]

This song is beautiful live..Heard it last night, such a great show.

[@sevendurham]

WoW 12M views! Layne would be So proud of Jerry and the band. I miss him SO much. Addiction is hard. 😔😔 #Feb2019 still going strong

[@jkll4306]

Right

[@jkll4306]

Seven Durham hey Supp

[@brettbailey2628]

Yes, it is and keep on keeping on!!!!

[@joesnow3984]

Stay strong you can do it!

[@scotttexasbornandbred1063]

Don't stop fighting. It can be done.

[@TengoIdentidadPropia]

Durante algun tiempo me renege a escuchar los ultimos albums de la banda, me arrepiento tanto. Esto es hermoso

[@deananderson1647]

Badass Tune...Cantrell Is Masterful.

[@Keith-x3o]

This video taps into the evil behind the entertainment industry that I am sure the musicians in Alice in Chains have seen all too well.

[@beverlyburzstyn3569]

Jerry Cantrell and William DeVall are pure "magic". Add a whole new dimension to this already amazing band. Love it ❤️❤❤

[@beverlyburzstyn3569]

@Jerrycantrell_12 Thank you , you have just made my life ❤️ WOW !!! I am so much admiration for what you do!!! When I pick myself up off the floor I will get back to you!! OMG

[@Cirrusaero]

I am 9 years old i love this whole band so much rest in peace layne you lived such a good life making such kick-ass music

[@Owenator26]

I haven't listened to a full album from AIC in the 2000's era so I started with Black Gives Way To Blue and always come back to this song. I agree with one of the comments saying this could be off Jar Of Flies. Beautiful song!

[@Red05150]

I may have said that. This song definitely sounds like it could have been on Jar of Flies or Sap.

[@ryanparadise9677]

The majority of the ones that complain about AiC post Layne Staley fail to realize that if it wasn't for Jerry 85% of the songs in the entire AiC catalog wouldn't exist. This is def the album that divided the fan base but shit give it a rest. Jerry Cantrell is the mind behind most of the songs. Enjoy it while we still have them around.

[@chuckmcgill6673]

If I ever got a chance to meet Jerry Cantrell, all I m gonna say to him is "THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING"

[@plentyofexcuses1047]

I was SO happy when AIC released this album. Layne is sorely missed but Jerry has written some of his best stuff over the last 3 albums. AIC for life!!

[@michaellapointe8653]

Jerry wrote nearly everything

[@eddiewilleford7746]

This song never gets old great video

[@Red05150]

Jerry carries on the band, I watch the video all the time

[@Kate-hu5uz]

I think this is a visually stylized version of a cyber-funeral for Layne that includes a lot of metaphor. The mood is dark, everyone's wearing black, and no one is smiling. Layne's body wasn't found until 1 - 2 weeks after he deceased, so perhaps this is Alice In Chains' tribute to their legendary friend & fellow musician who felt he deserved a better sendoff. There's a lot of obvious debauchery & hedonism in this video ... some that's befitting to Layne's legacy, and some that's metaphorical. One thing that strikes me is the overweight & gluttonous man, the only one not wearing black, who is feasting with greasy fingers on the cannibalistic delicacies at his table. He is obviously the record label exec who is happily banking on the money he's going to make when record sales inevitably soar after the death of a legend on his label.

[@chantalkibbee4130]

Love your analogy Kate!

[@mattbrewster4501]

Makes sense. Layne made his 'decision' to continue using. 'The path that leads to nowhere....' The rest of the guys come to terms with it in this song and video.

[@Kate-hu5uz]

Matt Brewster Very nicely and succinctly put, Matt.

[@mattbrewster4501]

+Kate Nelson just left an Alice in chains concert. ;-)

[@paulagilliland]

so sad but true my friend.........we all a number in the world. and Layne's number was up.

[@tiagoflorentinodossantos1719]

William Duvall is a great musician. He doesn't want to be the new Layne, he just wants to play and sing

[@sureiseeyou]

Can't believe it's been 11yrs already since this release. Seems like yesterday.

[@dshavatt8590]

One of the best tribute songs ever

[@sandyhowell8833]

Such a great song, Jerry has a fantastic set of pipes himself! I absolutely have to say THANK YOU to each band member for carrying on, and for doing such a beautiful job in bringing us some of the greatest music ever made!!! Thanks again AIC!!! We love you guys and wish you only the best!!!

@Jerry Cantrell I'm good, can't complainin. What about you, how are you doing?? Hope that everything is going good with you!!

[@sandyhowell8833]

@Jerry Cantrell Holy shit man, you're hilarious!!!! You must have forgotten that you tried this lie once before, then remembered after the fact, lmao!!!! Is he aware that you're impersonating him? That's fucked up man, c'mon..

[@peacebwithu97]

This video reminded me of the 7 deadly sins. Life lesson: Don't let temptation fool you. GREAT VIDEO!!!
