FIRST TIME HEARING Alice In Chains - Love, Hate, Love - Live at the Moore REACTION

[@ZeppeRemmy]

Nancy Wilson of Heart and others said his voice is so powerful it would shake the entire stages even under your feet even behind the curtain and she’s a belter herself! And live WITHOUT auto tune!

[@fridaylong2812]

Was. He passed in 2002.

[@ZeppeRemmy]

Laynes plight still resonates today with millions of Americans who to this day struggle with the hellish disease that is drug addiction, including myself, it hits home to a lot of people, young and old, therefore, his messages and honesty are still effective so that is why I refer to him in the present tense💜🙏🏻✝️😇☮️RIP…

[@PastorOfMuppets74]

There's a producer that helped during Jar of Flies when Layne was already sick...bad sick, but said that they had to tell Layne to hold back cuz his voice was making the digital recorder skip....he was literally shaking the studio. And about pitch correction (Auto Tune), even though it was invented in the 70s it was SELDOM used until Cher's song Believe in 97. It became known as the Cher Effect. Now it's way overused for actual pitch correction and it SUCKS

[@alicaveltman3021]

I think you might enjoy "Bleed the Freak" from the same show. But honestly the entire show is incredible.

[@jailee4266]

That is currently my fav song by them! It is amazing!!

[@azja6666]

@@jailee4266 yes mine too, specialy from this show!

[@angelaaltman864]

This is also my favorite performance of AIC!!! The power and shear gutteral feeling displayed during this song and Bleed the Freak during this concert are totally mind-blowing!

[@robphillips6152]

RIP Layne!!! One of the greatest frontmen and vocalist of all-time!!!

[@bradgordon3760]

Layne Staley deservedly gets a lot of respect and love for the remarkable, soulful vocalist he is but let us never sleep on the greatness of Jerry Cantrell and his hall of fame contribution to music as an amazing guitarist, soloist, songwriter and very thoughtful and nice person.

[@ZeppeRemmy]

Layne is always, always better live so I suggest choosing live performances for an appreciation for just how great he was! Whether belting or singing a soft ballad!

[@td315]

No Doibt!!!

[@arnoldcox9128]

Love how calm he is during the verses and then BOOM he explodes with all of that passion and energy

[@philkrugel1452]

3:13 Your reaction (eyes open a little wider) when Layne Staley starts belting out the chorus. Awesome. Layne was so great live. RIP.

[@angelruizdiaz7794]

From Rep Chile, We love Seattle bands !!! LAYNE the Best front Man ever lived

[@FleagleSangria]

People hear Layne's voice and they rightly think power and gruff. But what is also there is range. Meaning he could hit really high notes also. And what was more amazing is he hit them with that terrorizing, youre in the middle of a painful nightmare, voice. Layne's voice was like the brightest pinpoint of light powering through the darkness as the light experiences darkness. The greatest vocalist of the grunge era imo. Only Chris Cornell could compete. We will call it a tie in memory of both. Hope they are harmonizing together in the great unknown.

[@brandonstandberry8236]

I have nothing against Layne,he's one of the most important figures in rock history..but Chris was so much better. His entire catalogue of music is second to none,and his voice could go from peeling paint off the walls to making pretty much anyone cry. Rip to both legends

[@FleagleSangria]

@@brandonstandberry8236 They were equally talented. Just in different ways. Two very different type voices. We can say this much though: No one before, since or most likely ever will sound like those two legends.

[@FleagleSangria]

@Legend Well thanks man. Im pretty good. Im no Layne. But I appreciate the compliment!😆

[@golden454]

Ominous dark vibes. No one can sing 🎵yeah🎵 like Layne RIP grunge king ☮️💜🤘

[@texthit]

Layne Staley was in another band called madseason you should check out their song River of deceit live.

[@alicaveltman3021]

I agree, Wake Up is very good too.

[@litawells4264]

There is nothing I mean nothing like live Alice in Chains.This band was formed in Seattle in 1987 by the guitarist Jerry Cantrell, the drummer is Sean Kinny, the bass is Mike Starr, and the lead singer is the late great Layne Staley. Unfortunately Mike Starr died of a drug overdose March 8 2011. Layne Staley also died of a drug overdose in April 5 2002. He was found dead 2 weeks later in his condo on Lake Washington by his own Mother. I live in Seattle and there is a place called The Moore Theater it's downtown on 2nd ave, I pass it everyday on my way to work, a constant reminder that Layne is gone. The song (Love Hate Love) you just reacted to was performed there in 1990. This is one of their most iconic concerts. Other songs worth reacting to from this show are (It Ain't Like That Anymore) ( Bleed The Freak) (The Real Thing) and (Sea of Sarrow) also (Man in the Box) which you have already done.For a more laid back concert they also performed on MTV Unplugged in 1996, this would be their last concert as a band together due to Laynes heroin addiction. Songs from this concert are (Down in a Hole) (Would?) (Got Me Wrong) and (Nutshell) just to name a few. So there you have it......RIP Layne you are missed by many.

[@donnabennett8546]

Still one of my fave live performances...perhaps ever. Amazing! Love AIC & still disappointed he left us so soon!!!

[@natesuhl4322]

Listen to “bleed the freak” live at the Moore. Same place, black and white video, and I think even better! Extremely badass 💯

[@azja6666]

Yes, my favorite!

[@gordinho_melado]

Up

[@justinatest9456]

Pretty rare to catch a performance this powerful on video, with that clarity of sound. Amazing. I put this up there with War Pigs in Paris and Domination in Moscow as one of the top-tier performances on film.

[@smdftb8495]

Check out Junkhead. Layne kills it and the bass line is so good

[@psychoslingers8732]

Layne was generational talent. RIP.

[@CoachJasonCurtis]

They legitimately have 40+GREAT songs in their discography. WORD💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Kiki-kt9kk]

Long live Staley🤘🏼nothing like this anymore, miss the 90s🖤

[@danabomb100]

The voice/guitar energy is what sets these guys apart - Jerry’s riffs are just as equally powerful, dark & haunting as Layne’s vocals. This entire set will draw you in - the production is perfect for the mood they wanted to create.

[@cujet]

You are not kidding about the live performance. The dark energy there was incredible.

[@perchancetodream1]

Try their song Don't Follow. It's unlike any of their others

[@dogsensetrainingandbehavio903]

This live performance was better than the studio version. One of the best live performances of anything

[@SearlesHernandez]

Alice in Chains ❤ RIP Layne

[@AggieDub]

Anticipation or build up is what you are referring to. Those drums were building up to the best vocal performance from the best vocalist of all time, in my personal opinion. Layne was a gift. We didn’t have it for a long time, but it was a gift that will last a lifetime and beyond. Greatness. Pure greatness on display.

[@jailee4266]

The ending always gives me goosies! Like other commenters i suggest Bleed the freak from the same show (my fav!!), also for a slower song like nutshell, check out Down in a hole,(my 2nd FAV) the MTV unplugged version, amazingly and hauntingly beautiful!

[@alicaveltman3021]

Totally agree!

[@nancywade3428]

I saw this tour.. not this particular show.. but they sound exactly like this. Doesn’t miss a note.!!! Amazing. Jerry Cantrell is amazing

[@Dankest_Rick]

first reaction vid I've seen without interrupting Jerry Cantrell's guitar solo... mad respect!!! def check out "Bleed the Freak"

[@tamibrandt]

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. 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 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)

[@brandonhurt7980]

Best voice in rock in my book 📖

[@leslie8743]

Jerry Cantrell lead guitar and wrote with Layne. I had tickets for this but it had snowed and we couldn't get there. Was and still bummed that I missed it but saw them twice before. Pure talent.

Its funny you mention "its one thing if you are in the studio and match the energy. But its another doing it live."... Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelins guitarist) put it this way.."When I go out I have nerves sometimes. But when the lights hit...It's "shit or bust"" ...always liked that saying lol

Her postures. Her tension. Her facial expressions. Just itching and scratching! She's sooooooo AFRAID to say something! I just hope she finds her way out of that relationship and towards freedom!

Actually no one is better live. I'm 50 this year. I made my 1st demo, at 14. This is a fantastic live performance. The studio version is better. The studio version, is always better. Thank you Less Paul. I can think of only 2 examples of popular music, in the last 50 years, were a live version was better than the album. In both cases, the album seemed rushed, or forced. In both cases, the live version, was drastically different from the record. Years of performing, required a radical reinterpretation, and essential modification. You should never limit your views. However, regardless of veiwer input; you should always start with the record. Then, branch out accordingly. The record is, the musicians crowning achievement.

[@DaRoachDoggJR.]

Music is about how it makes you feel, if the live raw performance makes you feel more, it's better. I personally disagree the studio version is better. Cleaner maybe, not better. Side note: are you referring to Les Paul? Or am I missing something

I know you get a lot of MTV Unplugged requests. I, frankly, find it really difficult to watch. I love A.I.C. and Layne and it is hard to see him in so much physical and mental pain. Unless you have experienced heroin withdrawal, it's nearly impossible to understand what he is going through during that set...
