Hands Down one of the all time great debut albums ...................

[@SadisticSavage7982]

The best.

[@michaelblaine6494]

You spelled "The Best" wrong😜

[@Runaddict1167]

The power of Layne Staley's voice. Even my husband who isnt a rocker cannot get enough. Not only does he love all AIC albums he is also hooked on Mad Season.

[@jekku4688]

Smart hubbie. :-) Layne is like vocal crack, LOL.

[@WyattWillis88]

Same except my with my wife this got her into grunge and was a gateway for her to open her mind about hard rock music in general.

[@musicalmusic3353]

My second aic cd I ever got!!! It will always hold a special place in my heart!!!! My dad used to go out with firefighters during the summer, and he got me a greatest hits album before he left. I was mad that he left, so I crushed it!!! About two years ago he bought facelift at a second hand store and I was hooked, regretting breaking my cd. I then bought my own copy and fell in love with it!!! Now, Jerry is my biggest musical influence!!!!

[@Natacha1111]

I see you everywhere lol

[@Ace-lo8ei]

Awesome video bro AIC is one my favorite bands of all time!! Rip Layne your a legend 🕊

[@GraveSource]

Why hasn’t this channel shown itself to me before this day? This is exactly the media I want to consume.

[@michaelblaine6494]

The Alice side of the force is a pathway to places some would consider excellent. Sorry I'll do a slightly less hacky one; Staley works in mysterious ways🤣

[@michaelblaine6494]

Why didn't this channel exist when I was 13 and Jar Of Flies was at number one but somehow you were still weird if you were a rocker who liked them and bands like them?😉

[@GraveSource]

That awkward moment when you realize the channel just changed their name and you had actually watched their videos before. xD

[@coryedwards3183]

I love your nirvana videos man, but it's so cool to see a video on my favorite band of all time. I love that album.

If Layne knew his lyrics for Man in the Box would make even more sense today. Everything is now controlled by corporations. Man I hate these corrupt politicians like Clinton and co. To hell with them

[@rsohlich1]

@H.E Pennypacker yep. Crazy how people view politics like they are football teams or something.

[@daniel5913]

@@rsohlich1 The OP never said whether they were liberal, conservative, democrat or republican. All they said was “corrupt politicians” then cited Clinton as an example.

[@Natacha1111]

@@daniel5913 thank you! And yes I don’t participate in politics it’s all bs BUT the Clintons did a lot of damage. The world today is just crazy. I suggest everyone frees themselves from major influences by the mainstream including social media trends, because it can’t be good. It’s just there to blind us.

Love them so much this year I finally got AIC tribute tattoos to Layne & Mike with lyrics from Them Bones. Miss them as a whole so much. Was lucky to be front row to this era but so much loss! Just glad we still have Jerry

New video, best time of the day!

[@tylerbrittan593]

Great video, man! But, the voice effect they used on the guitar in Man In The Box was a talk box. Close though!

Sexual Chocolate Baby! This album got me hooked! I swear to you now, it is Feb 16, 2021, and I still listen to this album daily!

[@roxannemoser]

There's no voice box on Man In The Box. It's the combination of Jerry's wah peddle and Layne's voice. Refer to Rick Beato's what makes this song great episode 99.

[@Kruspe12]

I read in 'Alice In Chains - The Untold Story' that one of the studio guys bought Jerry a talkbox and it was used for recording Man In The Box

[@nonameman7114]

Cara Sawtell MUA yeah I heard the story went as one of the studio guys were listening to Bon Jovi so they wanted jerry to incorporate a talk box into the song

[@broeheem2804]

@@Kruspe12 Look carefully at the book and you'll find that that "studio guy" was Dave Jerdan - the producer. And exactly this was stated here in the video. I'll believe the man that was there over Rick Beato.

[@Kruspe12]

@@broeheem2804 sorry, I was in a rush writing the comment and going purely by memory

[@broeheem2804]

@@Kruspe12 No worries..... I just like to get fact out there when I can. It's still amazing that the $100.00 voice box bought on a whim ended up being the hook that launched AIC to the masses, most of which still listen to them today.
