Jerry Cantrell - Had To Know (Official Music Video)

[@AubreyOrEthan]

Jerry has never made a bad song in his entire career, solo or not. The man is without a doubt one if the most passionate and talented singer-songwriters in history. I can't wait to hear more from this legend. Thank you for bringing us all along for the ride, Jerry!

[@puppetmaster8551]

Best songwriter of all time in my book.

Thank Layne for making him sing his songs, Layne told him " you wrote it you should sing it" many many years ago, he pushed him to sing in Alice and chains.

Jerry keeps getting better, like a fine wine! Can’t wait to hear more more from him. We saw him at the recent Nashville show. The band was tight and Jerry’s passion in his performance shined. Of all the concerts I’ve seen this was by far THE BEST! If you haven’t seen him live…you have no idea what you’re missing!

[@princessncg1]

AGREED

[@cpoyet4107]

Like his Vino less Paul... 😉

[@monkeyliver1986]

I was gonna see him in Orlando. But he cancelled the show cause of corona :|

[@barbaraschley2981]

@@monkeyliver1986 the Nashville show was on April 17th right after that. He was definitely getting over something. You could tell he wasn't feeling too well but Jerry being the type of performer he is gave it 200%. Nobody in the entire place sat down for the whole concert and they played about two and a half hours. It was unbelievable. Hopefully at some point he'll make the concert up in your area and if he does you should do whatever you can to make sure you go. It's worth every penny!

[@Jillian60]

@Barbara Schlegel When you replied to the Orlando CoVid Cancellation Comment, did you mean Nashville Show April 17th was after the cancelled Orlando show? And even though he was sick, he still performed well...Wow. I was at this BigNightLive Boston Show April 6th...I thought I was the only person wearing a mask (until I just saw the video) but the majority wore no masks. And cheering loud and singing along..Lots of microDroplets flying around that’s for sure. Plus there were no glass barriers between stage and crowd... And I was worried Jerry and Band may get the SarsCovid virus...I guess 2 weeks later they got sick and had to cancel shows?? Glad they’re ok now... They all looked good at this Boston show and Jerry looked really Happy 😊❤️

[@scarab6783]

Last weekend I got to FINALLY see Jerry in concert. I was overcome with emotion and just started sobbing. Happy tears, of course. It's been a long time coming.

[@thatoneguy378]

I'm going to be right there with you next week on that one. I'm seeing them with Bush.

[@modtodd82]

I also saw him 1st time in Nashville....... certainly didnt disappoint. I only wish his set would have been longer!!!!

[@emigiu7590]

Jerry is the last testimony of that dark part of grunge movement, his unmistakable style of singing and playing guitar always remind me how unique were the first and only AIC 💓

[@rebelshell8820]

Not bragging here.. just want to share. Outside of the Houston show I ran into Jerry and he handed me a white pick after handing me a red one when I met him. I tried not to invade his space as he was headed to the bus. Then about 50' away I spot Greg so super lucky!!! Greg stops takes a pic wit me with no hesitation. I got a few quick ones and I love them not to mention my shot with Jerry♥️ After the pic Greg sat on a curb near the bus and talked to someone important to him. I almost wish I would of snapped a pic smit would of looked very cool but I gave him his privacy. Thank you guys for an Amazing show and this vid♥️💯

[@GG-pr3yo]

Jerry is a complete gentleman in person. Couldn't meet a nicer guy - tough to find that quality in someone with his (extensive) accomplishments. Thanks for everything you've done for all of us Jerry.

[@saratoole9907]

I got kicked out of a Jerry fan group on Facebook because some people were complaining about him being grumpy during the after show signings. I was like, GTFO town, and they banned me, lol. He is, no doubt, a total gentleman and the best of the best. A humble Genius who has persevered against all odds to continue to bring us the gift of his music. Will allow no criticism on my watch, lol.

Yep!

[@ascendant95]

It is just absurd to realise that Jerry has never produced any bad sound or song in his entire career (someone else commented something similar, and it's so so so true). AiC is so important and yet underrated (definitely appreciated by many influential musicians but somehow I feel they are not yet appreciated enough). Thank you, GENIUS!

[@LaneyNeedsJerryC4Me]

Well said. Yes i bet my life he's a sweetheart too. And a real son of s bitch too! Best of both b worlds Om thrilled for him and his bands going so absolutely off the charts awesome .

Wow. This is an amazing song. This sounds just like good old Alice In Chains. This is absolutely incredible. Jerry will have it forever. The old saying goes you still got it. This man will never lose it.

[@hollyhayes9640]

Jerry was the main songwriter for Alice in Chains. Layne only wrote "Man In The Box". So the sound of Alice in Chains was mostly because of Jerry. And Jerry was also in another band before called "Alice 'n' Chains". Rock on, Jerry. Rock on. 🤟 Edit: sorry, but also, fun fact: the song "Rooster" was also about/to/for Jerrys' Father. That's why they're still good.

[@puppetmaster8551]

@@hollyhayes9640 Jerry and Layne both wrote man in the box, not just Layne, Jerry music Layne lyrics. The 3 songs Layne wrote by himself for AIC were head creeps/angry chair/hate to feel, Jerry wrote over 20 songs by himself in the Layne era including almost all of their hits outside of man in the box which was both Jerry and Layne.

Died was going to be a solo Jerry song same with get born again but then he decided to make them AIC songs instead so then Layne wrote lyrics for them and those ended up being the last 2 AIC songs we ever got with Layne.
