It’s even more baffling that a) no vocal training whatsoever 2) He absolutely would not have cared for any accolades lol. (Prob why Maynard respects / respected him so much amongst the many others), I think he was just doing it for him, like therapy, but had he lived to be an older man, it’s interesting to think how this would have held up if he got clean. Technique etc. It’s just almost frustrating that this guy had the talent most VOCALISTS (anyone) could only dream of, & we lost him so young. Then again, it’s a contradiction, we got it like this BECAUSE of his demons. I don’t know how you choose as the audience. Maybe he knew that. Grunge isn’t for 4x4, with a house sample, for life of the members. They had to walk thru fire to be this good 🤷♀️ Poor Jerry, the two of them were such a vibe, he’s so talented & he killed it every time ❤ 🎸 If only you could turn back the clock, but w Layne, I don’t know that it would have changed anything, maybe if his girl didn’t pass? But he was a ticking time 💣, which makes it so much sadder.

Lead guitarist Jerry Cantrell considers this song the masterpiece of their debut album, that his own guitar solo gives him chills, and that Layne’s vocals on it are amazing. A tormented encapsulation of the fraught relationship Layne had with a girl named Demri Parrott, truly the love of his life. They used drugs together, got addicted together, and her death in October 1996 was a blow he never recovered from. Yet even so, it was as he sang here, “I still love you, but I still burn.”

There are many reasons I enjoy your videos. For one, many of the videos you analyze are songs by bands I love. This song is a perfect example. There is also your respect for the artists. And since I am not a trained musician or singer, listening to your analysis of the video is interesting as I gain insight into what is required to produce this music I love so much. But, the utter highlight is seeing you watch a video and truly feeling and becoming engrossed by the passion and emotion that some of these singers/artists put into their songs. Layne poured his heart and soul into his songs, his singing. And watching your facial expresses as you tune into those feeling, seeing your empathy is amazing. Why? Because I can empathize with you as I went through the same thing listening to Alice In Chains, Rush, Triumph, etc.... I especially love it when you are so engrossed that you lose yourself in the song and forget that you are supposed to be analyzing it. To me, that speaks volumes about how much the performance has captivated you. Keep up the AMAZING videos!

He could swoon you with his gentleness and the next word, blow your doors off with his powerful, gritty delivery. @13:20 how he pushes put the yea-ah…even quivering at the end & puts his head down, you know THAT was his heart singing. Layne was in a class of his own. Jerry matches this with his sludgy riffs. He is a master at making that guitar ‘sing’. Sean & Mike perfectly round it all out.
