I'm not a singer or musician. I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket if my life depended on it, but I can't imagine life without music. I totally agree the message and the emotion in a song is the most important! Much more so than the "technique", as long as the artist totally commits to whatever technique or style they've chosen to use. And yes Layne's eyes were clearer here. His heroin addiction hadn't taken it's terrible toll yet. Such a shame, such a loss! Such a waste! At least his and the band's art lives on in recordings. They've influenced a lot of artists. It's really nice to see vocal professionals like you and others react honestly to artists outside the supposed mainstream of "proper" vocal technique without judgement regarding their chosen mode of expression. I learn a lot, which increases my enjoyment of multiple musical genres.

​​@@annavaskelainenHi , beautiful young woman! Do you remember Diana Ankudinova? Many new cool music since your last reaction to Diana! WINTER WITHOUT SNOW for example!kzbin.info/www/bejne/n53Rc3qIft51i8ksi=FMS91XbfBSfzQP8I

You had me at hello.

[@riphopfer5816]

I understand. I suffer from a chronic, degenerative neuromuscular disease that has had me in almost nonstop pain for the last 16 years of my life. It has taken away my career, my good looks, my outgoing personality, my friends, my independence, and my freedom to live live as I choose, on my own terms-something I vowed from CHILDHOOD I would never give up. There I ONE reason I have not extinguished myself: I can still hear, and I can still pick up a guitar and play it with relative competence. (I have lost my ability to sing, however-with a voice that was compared to that of Jim Morrison by everyone from my high school girlfriends to local entertainment journalists.) The point is, while you cannot imagine life without music, I literally only exist because of my love for music. There are other things i appreciate in this vast, extraordinary cosmos, but music is what keeps my heart beating.

To me this is one of the rare times the live performance, IS BETTER THAN THE STUDIO 🎙 RECORDING 😊

[@newflavaz1583]

It could be, but I prefer the studio version for the sole reason that on one of the “yeahs” Laynes voice cracks in a way which makes it sound like a guitar hitting a pinch harmonic, it’s so cool !

i only can say this "Layne" is him, nobody can compare with his voice, he is was so unique and a wonderful guy... shame that drugs did all that to him... he died alone on his house in 2002... but his music will live FOREVER, Thx you Layne , for all!!!! RIP Legend

[@matthewgoodA1206]

This lineup of Alice In Chains remains my favorite band of all time. A powerful song like this is a prime example of the haunting compositions they could craft during this era. Layne here is definitely so healthy and sharp and strong. This was before the struggle with substance abuse that he ultimately lost. But he was always a real star, even beyond any labels the press gave him or applied to his music. Even when caught up in his dark struggles, he could still shine so brightly.

[@annavaskelainen]

Well said right there!

[@johnjohn37371]

When Layne nods and smiles at someone in the crowd in the middle of the song, my heart breaks a little. He seems to be so happy and content being on stage doing what he loves... knowing what's ahead for him, watching him literally high on stage just to perform for the unplugged concert...laying dead in his house for nearly two weeks before anyone even checked on him... everything about it is so sad and pathetic...I miss this Layne so much...

[@brandonrandolph3718]

Mannn. This shit was deep

[@dazed1nyc]

There was nobody like Layne at his best. I went through a similar problem that he eventually succumbed to and to this day Don't Follow still fucks with me and I can't listen to it. There are only 2 songs that I've heard a million times that still give me goosebumps, this and Zombie by The Cranberries

I moved to Seattle from Hawaii in 1989, my new friends asked me to go check out this band, called Alice in Chains. I thought what a weird name, and passed. I kept being asked so I finally went. I was completely blown away. Live they were incredible. Now, I feel fortunate to have been able to see them live and at their best. I'm glad there are live videos to prove they were as great as I remembered.

As for songs I like to sing.. it's a wide blanket.. I was a teen during the grunge breakout so Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Seven Mary Three, Soundgarden, Nirvana are always favorites. Bluesy soulful rock.. pretty much anything from Paul Rodgers (Free and Bad Company era), Allman Brothers band (One Way Out, Whipping Post).. and then there's just about anything from Maiden and their huge discography.

Layne was the best of his time. Maybe ever. So unique. When he and Jerry harmonized, it was bliss. Never knew how much they did that until the first time I saw them live. I was a jock, and my cohost and I were the first outside of Seattle to play AIC. Layne asked us if we thought they had what it took to make it. I almost fell over. 😳. They became my favorite band instantly when we got the Facelift LP. AIC and the band YES are the GOATs. ☮️❤️😎

Layne in his prime was a truly amazing thing.

[@dasninjastix]

Very happy to see people continuing to appreciate Alice in Chains and Layne all these years later. There were so many elite singers of the era, so much talent, and they all showcased emotion, vulnerability, and passion in a raw, unfiltered type of way. Even still there was something a bit different about Layne. Cornell and Weiland were maybe were more musical, melodic singers, Cobain and Vedder maybe a bit more dramatic in terms of communicating a range of emotions, but Layne was like a male Banshee, he was like a wailing spirit. Even in Mad Season, without the kinds of production effects they used in Alice in Chains he sounded like how you might imagine a ghost to sound. Love the man, love the band, and love that new people are getting introduced to one of the greatest rock acts to ever do it thanks to channels like this. 🤘✌️

I saw Layne in a three piece suit at the start of their set on Lollapolooza in 93 and it was like 95 degrees that day! Needless to say he took the jacket tie vest and shirt off after playing Would the first song to start the show! Very charismatic singer and great stage presence! His voice very unique and an unbelievable range! RIP Layne!

[@robbrooks693]

I got caught in the biggest mosh pit I've ever seen in my life when AIC played Lallapalooza that year in LA (at Irwindale). Fishbone was pretty nuts (went on before them) but when they came out, the place became unhinged. I liked them on that tour but the Dirt tour that I saw them on earlier in the year was even better.

[@pinkierural]

It feels like he is almost crying at 8.22. As if returning to his infant state being denied love. Am very impressed with this song. Nutshell is another favourite but dont enjoy listening to his mtv unplugged songs as they're depressing for me even if they reflect honesty. Great thoughtful comments, thank you.

[@TheStepmonkey]

His vocal tone and emotion is out of this world💗 Layne is definitely the best singer in rock history 👑 Btw loved all the vocal techniques that u explained here, good video!

[@davidedemurodominijanni9889]

*This is my song.* Totally. Better saying... this is the on and only song I do belong to. Heart and soul, struggles and pain. No song describes better than this does what I've been trough specially in the last 25 years, a half of my entire lifetime. I won't enter into the rabbit hole of the details of what is too much a personal story to share here for a couple of different reasons. I can only say it perfectly describes how I'm torn apart deep within by that same exact feeling and emptions rollercoaster Layne brings me into every single time I've been listening to this song since I got the album with it. His loss added a further layer of grief to the many layers already present in me which this song describes so well. I had no experience with drugs so I cannot relate on that matter, but certainly I know that painful, lacerating, burying sorrow. The loss of the woman I loved back then and still love today despite the shattering devastation the breakup from her brought into my life and kicked me in. Layne here painted the perfect picture of that mixed feeling I've been trough, that circular spinning sentiment of love and hate and love with all its darkest colours and shades. Layne introduced this song as about pain and hell yeah he did perfectly depicted that pain. Whatever ours experiences are, doesn't matter how close or far, how similar r different they are, we all go through that kinda pain at least once in a lifetime. That's what makes Love Hate Love universal. One of the greatest songs ever written, by the power of the music and the depth of the words, by the power of the words and the depth of the music. All delivered with an astonishing performance that cannot leave a human being indifferent, liking the genre or not. Whoever lived and loved and knows the pain living and loving can do to us and to our lives will relate to that cry of pain Layne Staley has shared with us. Whoever experienced pain, sorrow and went almost through the gate between life and afterlife does belong to this song, like a picture that, like in some tribal and ancestral cultures believed it could, stole our soul. RIM Layne... Rest In Music as I'm used to saying. Will always be missed, even if I didn't give up listening such an eternal voice! PS: I have a few words about this video reaction by the way. I can tell I didn't expect the Finnish speaking and when I was finally, and quite soon I'd say... just the time of clicking on subtitles mode, totally at my ease with that then I didn't expect the mix of Finnish and English which added a nuance, a colour I loved in this reaction which I particularly appreciated. You got a new subscriber, Anna, thanks so much for this reaction and analysis which told the other side, the most technical one, of Layne's greatness. I must sound like a fanboy, despite my 50, but I still consider Layne Style's voice one of the greatest ever, seriously among the very best of all times, from a technical and an expressive points of view.

LOVE HATE LOVE live at the Moore December 22, 1990, is LAYNE STALEY in his prime and UNTOUCHABLE PERFECTION. All other bands should strive to have a live performance this perfect. Layne is better live than studio version. One of the very few singers who are better live. The entire Live at the Moore concert from December 22, 1990 was turned into a live vinyl album and VHS called Live Facelift. It cost about 75.00USD last I checked. The VHS has live concert footage from December 22, 1990 of: MAN IN THE BOX, REAL THING, LOVE HATE LOVE, SEA OF SORROW, BLEED THE FREAK, bonus footage of IT AIN'T LIKE THAT live and official videos for WE DIE YOUNG, MAN IN THE BOX and SEA OF SORROW. Jerry Cantrell is the guitar player. He's a certified Riff Lord. He respects any musician who KNOWS their instrument. Layne wrote the song about his tumultuous relationship with Demri Parrott (pronounced Per-roh). There was cheating on both sides. Listen to the song from the mindset of a sociopath. How many times did Layne come back home from being on tour to find another guy just so smitten-puppy love-tattoo-you-on-my-chest in love with Demri at first sight. But the Demri fans think Layne should have lain down and taken that because he deserved it for screwing groupies on the road? There a few stories of her on the road with him where the first thing she thought of was scoring junk before anything else. I've come to the conclusion that apparently to Demri fans the Layne/Demri relationship is a sacred, hollowed relationship and NO ONE is allowed to side with him against her for what she did to him with the drugs and cheating on him, but he was lower than a snake for what he did to her with the drugs and cheating on her. She was so independent, she DID NOT even want to be recognized as his girlfriend (God-forbid that ever happen). Even though the second he told her he wouldn't get her any more drugs, she just turned around and shacked up with the next guy who would do what she wanted. Her family called Layne back home from GERMANY where he was on tour for a damn intervention with her. Layne never thought interventions worked, but he did it for her. There was one instance where Layne sent her out for coke or something, and she came back with heroin. Hell, it wasn't like Demri was headed for a life in a convent when she met Layne and on the day she was to take her holy orders, Layne corrupted her. She already knew how to get drugs when they met. Layne could have wished upon a star a million times over that she would have married him, but she wasn't going to give up the drugs any more than Layne would have, so there was no way in hell she was marrying him. She had such a feminist independent streak. When they were making the SEA OF SORROW video, the girlfriends were all invited down to participate in the video. Every girlfriend showed up EXCEPT Demri. She didn't even show up to support him let alone be in the video. Discussing the title track "DIRT", Cantrell stated that "the words Layne put to it were so heavy, I've never given him something and not thought it was gonna be the most bad-assed thing I was going to hear." Staley said he wrote the song "to a certain person (Demri) who basically buried my ass". In an interview with the Canadian magazine M.E.A.T. in December 1992, Layne Staley said about the Dirt album cover: "This album cover... I like to refer to it as "revenge". The woman on the album cover is kinda the portrayal of that person being sucked down into the dirt (laughs), instead of me. The picture is the spitting image of her, and that wasn't even planned. Actually, I was pretty angry about it when I first saw it - she's not happy about it either (laughs). It was real eerie. The girl on the album cover is really Mariah O'Brien NOT Demri. She had two heart surgeries that Layne paid for and two lung surgeries (that Layne also paid for) all stemming from endocarditis that she contracted through intravenous drug use. She passed away on October 28, 1996, from a bacterial infection that was a complication from the last overdose she had. Even though they had broken up for good by 1994, he still loved her and she was still hanging around in 1995 and 1996 before she hooked up with someone else a few months before her death. Demri’s death devastated Layne. A few months later, Layne asked her mother for the teddy bear Demri had with her in the hospital and a few other things. It took another few weeks and an accidental meeting on a busy street to exchange the items. The consensus was that Layne never got over Demri’s death. He used her death as the catalyst to go into a drug-induced tailspin in which he would take his addiction to lengths few could imagine or sustain. (This is coming from a Layne fan who was NEVER a fan of Demri and the many times she strung him along)

I just got done watching a few of your videos. Alice in Chains is one of my favorite bands. Check out Mad Season. A "super group" with Layne at the mic. Might i suggest "River of Deceit"?

[@Nooooahhh]

Firstly, your English is awesome. Secondly, that was a very good review!

[@jardas.8532]

Probably the most interesting conversation passage in song I have ever heard was in Alice In Chains - Bleed The Freak (Live-Official video).

Would and It ain't like that (singles pro shot. Also, Junkhead at the singles party. Layne 🤘

[@michaelrollo4147]

You need to go down the Chris Cornell rabbit hole. I’ll have my popcorn 🍿 at the ready 😬

Im a big hockey fan and cheer for the Avalanche which have several Finnish players. I love the sound of the Finnish language. There are lots of really good Alice in Chains songs out there but ill recommend listening to another song off Facelift album (which is where "Love Hate Love" comes from). Its called "I know Somethin (bout you)" and its extremely funky and so good

This is the finest performance by Layne I have ever seen. I have watched it hundreds of times and it still blows my mind. Your reaction to this song was the best I have seen so far, from both a technical and an authentic emotional perspective. I am not a singer but have been into music my whole life. I named my cat Layne.

Excellent to see! I bounced around between the four grunge bands. One thing that might not have been noticed enough, is this drummer. Quite original and unique... hummin or slammin...
