Rappers React To Alice In Chains "Love, Hate, Love"!!! (Live At The Moore)

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Thanks guy’s 😊 I have been overseas for a month with terrible internet service. Just got back yesterday so this is perfect timing. Thank you this made my day.❤ Layne wrote the lyrics to Love Hate Love.

[@Hollywood6IX]

No problem hope you had a good time over seas. This was a treat and we could never get enough of AIC or Layne. Thank you for all your love and support on Patreon!!!

Bleed the Freak from the same show is FIRE! ☺️

I came here to say the exact same thing. It’s definitely worth a listen.

[@danabomb100]

Jerry wrote a lot - but this is Layne’s baby. There is a story out that someone asked him where the inspiration came from & he pointed right to Demri (they had a very well, Love, Hate, Love relationship). Layne was not known for a lot of moving around stage - he didn’t need to…..he commanded the space he was in and was so damn captivating. And let’s just go ahead & address Jerry - best hair flips in the biz. Not to mention he matched Layne’s charisma via his guitar. I, too, feel like Jerry took on the big brother role (also a bit of a control freak-no judgement, but even in interviews….you can tell he is a driving force). This is evident in a lot of their live performances you will see him frequently ‘checking’ on Layne as well as Mike and Sean. This entire set is really good - I would almost say Layne at his best (before the deep dive with his demons). Everything was perfect from the production guys to the guys in Alice. Bleed the Freak from this set is also even better than studio version - worth checking out. 😊

[@ChadH2023]

I'd say 99.9% Alice in Chains reactions should be the live version. This entire show is legendary! It has 5 or 6 songs.

[@melissavukelic4138]

Got to see them twice. Once in 1991 opening for the Monsters of Rock tour (Megadeth, Anthrax & Slayer), and again in 1993 headlining Lollapalooza. I'm so thankful to have had those experiences while Layne was still with us.

[@richelle7211]

Whaaat?! Same for me! They opened for Clash of the Titans, June 1991, Cedar Rapids IA. And Lollapalooza, July 1993, Tinley Park!! Saw AIC in Vegas last October. Loved every second.

Best live vocal performance ever. Pain and raw power in every note. “Grunge” was about emotion, not perfection and Layne certainly brought the emotion here. RIP Layne & Mike❤️‍🩹🖤❤️‍🩹

[@toddlloyd9161]

You guys would agree any band that sounds just as good unplugged as they do live has serious talent.

[@thegoatchild3545]

This was an official release on vhs called Live Facelift, it was 6 or 7 songs. The Moore is a theater in Seattle. Mad Season also released a concert film at the same venue. Highly recommended.🤘

[@Fakename70]

Soundgarden released their Paramount show for Motorvision, not the Moore.

[@thegoatchild3545]

@@Fakename70 Thanks for the correction.👍

[@PeeWeeGerman1313]

I grew up owning this VHS! I also had an Alice In Chains poster in my bedroom as young as six years old. My dad was a huge fan. Last concert I took my dad to before he passed was Alice In Chains. This was well after Layne's passing but it was still a great show

[@dmphax]

Jerry is absolutely the heartbeat of AIC.

[@oozieneinmillimeeda]

SO glad you guys reacted to this. Arguably Legendary Layne’s best recorded performance of his short-lived time

[@dccraig03]

I owned Live Facelift on VHS when it came out... and wore it out. This was the band that moved me from 80's hair metal to something much darker. Still love all of it today though.

[@tiawarren5403]

The grunge GOAT vocalist..❤❤❤❤ RIP Layne..

[@ColinFurness77]

Seeing them do this live (early 90s) when they were young was something special. I was 7 rows from the stage. Highlight of the set, for sure!! Goosebumps indeed.

[@msfoodiediva]

This was 🔥 . Layne had such a great voice. R.I.P. ... sad road for him... same sad road for Scott Weiland too

[@LifelessDeaD75]

During Laynes time in Alice he and Jerry probably wrote 50/50 on the lyrics....the self titled album is all Layne except for Grind, Heaven Beside You and Over Now

[@gnovincejr2]

Unbelievable performance by the whole band! So many more A.I.C songs to do.... I want "God am" or "Again" 😉🔥🔥🔥

[@puppetmaster8551]

The riffs on God Am are so fire man

[@paulhaire3982]

This is such an awesome song. You can feel the pain and sorrow when Layne sings it, and now we're stuck with Taylor Swift songs.

I have been waiting for you guys to get to this absolute masterpiece of a live performance!!

[@jasonjtd79dunne88]

The Moore Theatre in Seattle was where all the “grunge bands” cut their teeth. This performance was Peak Layne the whole set. The power in his voice is unmatched. The Theater is up the hill from the original Starbucks on Pike Place roughly a block away

[@johnphillipsjr7238]

Listen to the whole Live at the Moore show. One of the greatest vocal performances ever.

[@Brando-Lee3725]

This whole show was recorded and sold . I had it on VHS 3 times !!!!! One I wore out , one got stolen and the other I have no clue where it went . But you should do a mega react vid to the whole show ! Its only like 30 minutes . But I guarantee all of us fans would watch you guys do it !!!! They kill ever song , no duds or mistakes , just full emotion and precise delivery . Its as if Bret Hart was a band , The Excellence of Execution lol !

So dark and and eerie and so beautiful, this performance always touches me. Layne could convey all the relevant emotions through his charisma and his powerful voice.

Jerry is a 🤴, imagine being as talented as he is and as integral to the band, and then standing behind an obvious vocal beast. Here's to Jerry🫶🙌🤘, RIP Layne hope your wings were approved. ☮️💜🤘

Live at the Moore set is like 5 songs definitely worth listening to the other songs from this show

[@jedsall2010]

I absolutely love this performance. Especially when you think it's over only to have Layne blast you with some more belting vocals

[@derekjf4311]

A cool story since you mentioned William (Big Willy 😂) according to Jerry Cantrell (guitarist/main songwriter) when William auditioned for the band they asked him which song he wanted to sing and he chose Love, Hate, Love. They asked him if he was sure because that's their most difficult song to sing but he insisted. They did the song and he nailed it and on the spot they decided that he was the guy 😂 And out of the Big Willy era Alice, in my opinion, the most Alice sounding song is called So Far Under that was actually written by William AND he did the solo in it. Hes absolutely the guy for the job. If you havent checked that one out please do. Its awesome and showcases Big Willy.

[@tomlafleche332]

Man growing up an hour away from Seattle in Tacoma back in the 80's-90's was so awesome, because not only was I at this show I got to see all the Seattle bands before they got even a record deal yet. Like seeing Nirvana in Olympia at some crappy club before Dave Grohl was even the drummer, or the guys who were in Mother Love Bone before they became Pearl Jam and seeing Pearl Jam when they were called Mookie Blaylock. So yes you can be jealous now lol.

[@Footsoldier1234]

That's how Layne created a unique sound that to this day no one can imitate. He bends his vowels, sometimes into more vowels, sometimes into something completely different. Other people picked up on it since they hit the radio, but it really takes Layne's voice and talent to make it work. Otherwise you get Sully from the band Godsmack. Also, you're missing out not digging into the live performances. I can't think of a single song Layne did not do better live than in studio.

[@jibrilgoodwin3328]

During the recording of facelift, Layne would only do one take and KILL IT , in one take

[@CoreyWickramasekera]

I have been looking for this on dvd 📀, FACELIFT LIVE, at The Moore Theater. I only looked a few places but it's difficult to find for me.

[@Stephanie-lm7sp]

I was at the show in Philly for this tour with SO many great bands. When Layne took the stage, like this, we were all about to get our collective minds blown! This is a gift for generations to come. Raw 4 guys Eerie Just earth-quaking on every level. We witnessed perfection and dirty rock in to our souls. Just them. No autotune. Not anything. 91 I believe....92 Anyway. It will NEVER EVER be duplicated. Cantrells one of the most underated lyricists and guitar players there is, was, will be. Everyone of his best friends are gone. So many bands, so many losses. Cantrell and Vedder cant go down that road in conversation. Eddie has claimed in many interviews that he hasn't and never will talk about or try to come to understand or REALLY believe Chris is gone. Chris Cornells eldest daughter Toni is a big sister to Eddies kids. Shes basically lived with them for years. So many deaths in grunge. So sad I can hear this on repeat and chill up every time. Layne WAS healthy here. You're are right. God bless them all. Really pray for those left behind. Its torture. I can't listen to Toni Cornell sing Hallelujah. I have to hit off. RIP all of you. What a jam is happening in heaven...

[@zmarko]

[@DefinitelyNotBender]

Sometimes friends have to babysit friends. I had a "best friend" that I had to do that to. I shouldn't have due to how things turned out. But we do what we think we have to do for our friends. Even if they turn out to have never really been your friend the whole time. I'm sure Lane and Jerry's friendship was different and actually real. But sometimes people just use you. Cool reaction. I wish you'd do all the reactions to songs you haven't heard before going back and listening to songs you have. But still here for the algorithm🤘🏼

[@shilohivy4590]

The most powerful voice of his generation. Jerry Cantrell said the first time he heard Layne sing he could feel it in his chest.rest in peace to a real legend.

[@CoreyWickramasekera]

Layne was a G.O.A.T. Eddie Vedder is an excellent live performer, and the only vocalist before those 2, that blew me away is Paul Rodgers from BAD COMPANY

Layne put that 'R' sound into random words all the time. It made it way into album songs, but live it was much more prominent. I'm not sure why he did it, or what he was going for. This performance is probably the best vocal performance Layne ever had, and one of the top 10 of the era.

[@kikivon3501]

Being born and raised in Washington the reason for those random “R’s” may arise from the tendency for certain groups of people in Washington to use the R in weird spots in their vernacular. This tendency is very common among the lower socioeconomic groups. I know this because a lot of my own family speaks this way, so I’m not being judgmental. They will say I’m going to go waRsh my car. Layne was born and raised in a fairly affluent area of Kirkland and Bellevue, but his family was far from wealthy. Who knows, just a guess from a local?

great one fellas! and since yous are curious; this songs lyrics were written by Layne(his gf Demri was inspo) music is by Jerry and Sean and just for clarity; the atmosphere of the Unplugged show, the lava lamps, super dim, candles, etc. was all Layne's idea) lol I can tell you listened to the song outside of the other reaction, H6 knew all the hand motions mimicking the instruments, I never listen to AIC unless it's the live recordings, IMO the studio stifled Layne, he is in my Mt Rushmore of vocalists 🥰
