Vocal Coach Reacts To ALICE IN CHAINS - "Love, Hate, Love" Live At The Moore

[@gumshoeless5949]

Raw emotion ... the driving force behind grunge (the Seattle sound). Raw emotion backed by the sureness of Stayley and Cantrell's vocal harmonies. For me, hair or no hair, this more or less sums up how and why AIC has endured and to this day remains so fresh, real, alive.

"When I tried drugs, they were fucking great, and they worked for me for years, and now they’re turning against me" - Layne Staley

[@matthewgoodA1206]

This is still my #1 favourite band of all time. Receiving a copy of their sophomore LP changed me forever, both as a music fan and as a person. The lead singer and frontman here, Layne Thomas Staley, has influenced me so much, that some 30 years later I still find myself bearing the marks of his impact on me. Thank you for doing this reaction.

[@himynameis3664]

I only got into them about 5 years ago and they jumped straight to my favourite band. The shameful part is I'm 32 years old!! How did I sleep on them so long when I loved nirvana and all Chris Cornells stuff...really let myself down. But just happy I found them at all

[@MrAcidKnight]

This is probably the best demonstration of the harmonies that AiC were so famous for. Absolutely beautiful performance. Highly recommend this is the next song you check out!

[@demoncleaner80]

It's a great combo between the two of them for sure. For Layne himself though, I'd have to say Nutshell. That song just kills me though.

[@lyutprok]

Nooo pls noo, down in a hole has been soo many times reacted to, I can't stand it.. other more upbeat songs of theirs deserve analysis The unplugged has the beauty to it and it's a classic for us fans but is sooo not his greatest vocal performance Man in the Box and Would? (any 92 or 93 live version will do) FTW

[@cyberia55]

I can’t believe how spot-on your Layne Staleys at 02:48 and 08:00 were! You seem to be able to effortlessly mimic any performer. Amazing!

[@govs213]

I wasn’t watching the video only listening at that moment, and it made me stop and look and see how she got the isolated vocals. Only to be pleasantly surprised to see what you elaborated on above.

[@TheStepmonkey]

Yeaa, she sounded just like him :O

[@jaydubya9135]

For real! Besides being gorgeous I fell in love when I heard that lol 😂 pretty accurate compared to the other 957 other reactors I've watched

[@rome8180]

And that's a really low note for a woman to sing. And she did it effortlessly. In general, I'm always blown away by her singing in these videos.

[@giljensen1132]

This is why I love her channel

[@TenaciousSLG]

As an avid decades-long AIC fan, I was SO EXCITED to finally hear someone mention how the lyrics sounded like it was about a narcissist. I read somewhere that Jerry wrote the song from the perspective of a sociopath, and almost all sociopaths are also narcissists. As a survivor of narcissistic abuse I understood deeply--more deeply than I wish I did---the lyrics of this song and they are hauntingly spot-on, as is the music and the whole performance. To me it seems that in addition to his incredible vocal talent, what takes him up to legendary is that his singing is so deeply entwined within his own emotion that he WAS emotion when he sang, every time, and because of that, everyone could feel it, and still feels it today. He and this band have provided a lot of comfort and even saved lives since they created these masterpieces.

[@ohwellwhateverr]

I love that she just got it instantly. So many people take the “peel your face” line literally and can’t get past that.

[@LadySlippers]

It was my understanding that Layne wrote this about his and Demi's really dysfunctional relationship.

[@lyutprok]

I can't believe it! AIC!! You analysed LAYNE like no other, I watched thousands of vocal coaches react to him and you're the most informative hands down, no one dared to mimic him but u went there hell yeah There are so many layers to his techniques that was so his that ppl till this day have a hard time to replicate . I love Layne to death and I'm sick and tired of vocal coaches reacting to the AIC MTV Unplugged! Yes it was a classic for us fans but it was defo not his best night for obvious reasons, although he sang beautifully. There are so many more videos/audios of him doing upbeat live Man in the Box, We Die Young, Would?, Junkhead, Sunshine What always stands out to me when I watch old live AIC bootleg videos is that more often than not it was recorded with a potato andyet you can still hear him very clearly blasting through the PA and crappy cam. He was an angel.

[@TheStepmonkey]

Perfectly said, this analysis was so good

[@goldenruletv7301]

I could not have said it better myself. R.I.P. Layne.

[@johnjohn37371]

Could not agree more...I have commented more than once that I hate when reactors talk about how the Unplugged AIC performance is what they love, when all the old AIC fans know that that courageous, bittersweet performance is Layne struggling so hard with his demons, but being there for his band...it's so tough to watch. Give me younger Layne live and if I want later on, I'll listen to the albums...R.I.P. Layne and Mike...we all miss you both so much.

[@gostianovidiu8842]

Spot on!!

[@szilardfineascovasa6144]

Ken Tamplin dares to cover anyone, and he does it incredibly. Look him up, I think you'll love him! 🙂 Also, the best cover of any song of theirs I found so far is a rendition of "Man in the Box" by "The Merlins" (Pinhead). Had to remind myself it's a cover (and a dark parody one at that) a few times.

[@mattyBonds]

I never thought id be watching reactions to Laynes voice but every time i see them, it makes me so happy to see them acknowledge the pure beautiful insanity that was Laynes voice. fly high 🕊️

Matt, I was just thinking how amazing it is to see that he can still bring this kind of excitement to the world. I wish I could hear one of his songs for the first time again.

Another AIC song that shows off Layne’s power is “Sunshine.” I think you’d love that one.

[@kellyt4786]

Yes! Such a good song.

[@theviolentbreed9463]

Layne was known for his intentional vocal dips. His voice was SO good and I truly miss his style and ability. Thanks for reacting to this one

[@alexbrowngaming6038]

You should honestly react to this whole show. The 5 songs they played could be argued as 5 of the top 10 live performances of the 90's in my opinion. Absolutely incredible show

[@wildwillie5408]

Great analysis on a great singer. Layne was one of the rare singers who is better live. This show may have been his best live performance. Every song I've heard from this show he absolutely nails it.

[@lisamarie1157]

Layne had a voice that no other person could capture. He did phenomenal thing's with his singing. Just like Janis did. It's Heartbreaking that 💔 they died so young.

[@digitaldroo]

I remember being introduced to Alice In Chains. San Francisco at The Stone. They handed free cassette EPs at the door. I got hooked, and wore out that cassette from playing it repeatedly. Facelift was my first and favorite AIC album and Love, Hate, Love is one of the more satisfying things to belt out while driving. Thank you for reacting to it.

[@dixirose111]

I very much enjoyed watching your beautiful reaction to this powerful song. In was 14 in 1992. My friend got this cassette from his older brother and we jammed it constantly for years and it blew our minds too. We were able see them on the Dirt tour opening Ozzy with Sepultura. Even at that young age we new this man’s voice was something otherworldly. RIP Layne Staley

You're so well-educated and informative, and I haven't seen anyone else break down techniques but actually perform them as well. I love metal, but I also love other types of music, too. I always look forward to your latest videos.

[@justmecl4507]

Thanks for reviewing this. I love this band and Layne's vocals !! Layne had such an amazing gift of melody and emotion, such a sad loss ! Interesting thought.. I have noticed with a LOT of grunge singers they often go flat (like Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder) - even though I am pretty sure they have a very good sense of pitch.. I have often wondered if it is accepted in the genre because of the tense feeling it gives the listener and feeling you get when it finally resolves. Again, thanks for appreciating this song and singer !!

[@PochoNews]

Speaking from experience and imho, its us showing a lack of caring about a note so you know we're really really bummed in this moment of the song and usually and end of song or lead break.

[@davidgoz8219]

I love how you demonstrate what people are doing with your voice. Not everyone can do or does that. It is a pleasure as always listening to your reactions!

Sending you good vibrations 🤗

[@tilemonkee5510]

By FAR ,my favorite vocal coach reaction!! Somehow, when you sang along(talent and intelligence, and humility), you actually sounded like the vocalist. Yet other vocal coaches interrupt the video ,every 5 seconds, with their poor attempt to steal glory for themselves. And ,to top it all off, you're beautiful, as well. Please keep doing what you're doing, my friend!!❤️❤️😁😁

[@octaviopicazo4080]

I love your analysis on Layne Staley. He will stand one of the greatest. One thing that I learned from these guys (grunge singers) is that you are not just singing with your heart, is basically your entire muscles and bones thrown into the performance followed by your mind and soul. It is the combination of all those things what makes the voice so beautiful of scary or loud or awesome. Hard to get the words to define the feeling you get from such talented singers. It is fantastic that people is still listening to those voices today, maybe is the right example of how talent endure generations and the past of time. Layne's voice is imprinted in the waveforms of the universe to last forever. Thanks for the effort you make doing your videos. Saludos desde México!

[@TheStepmonkey]

Exactly, Layne is definitely one of the best singers in all rock history

[@lxDastanxl]

She knows her stuff DAMN most vocal teachers just know the basics not a lot of distortion but SHE DID she knows how it is created... That's amazing thanks!

[@SentientPickle]

Layne had the chops to be a great singer regardless, but what's sad is that were it not for his struggles and demons, I'm not sure his singing would have been so soulful. Listening to his singing and understanding the lyrics he's singing is like having pure anguish injected into your veins. Hearing songs like Nutshell from their Mtv Unplugged show, knowing he's been fighting heroin addiction, you can hear him lisp in a way he hadn't previously due to addition-related tooth loss and it just hurts you to hear the change from before. Hearing Layne screw up the beginning of Sludge Factory, and seeing Jerry console him and reassure Layne is heartbreaking. Layne in his prime was an absolutely jaw-dropping singer. I still get goosebumps hearing his melismatic runs on songs like this one or Sunshine off of Facelift and Rain When I Die off of Dirt. Alice in Chains' Dirt to this day remains one of a handful of albums I can and do listen to start to finish without disappointment. I don't even know what more to say other than the loss of Layne as well as their bassist, Mike Starr, is tragic and a constant reminder of how beautiful, yet fragile, life is. Thanks for the reaction. It was spot-on and very knowledgeable.

Layne Staley was an amazing musician and singer, his death and his last days...well actually sadly 12-13 months were incredibly saddening to read about, he definitely lived and felt the music he blessed us with, he's one of the many many artists gone too soon and too young I always find myself wondering where/how they'd be if they'd survived to present day and what their music would sound like (If they'd continued to make music, you never know!) RIP Layne Staley, your music was a big part of my infancy and growing up it both gave me comfort and kept me strong. 🤟🤟 I love your reactions because not only do you really keep yourself open to the music and the experience where you really enjoy and feel the music, and THEN on top of that your technical & technique breakdowns are amazingly well explained and then amazingly demoed for us!, Are you in any bands or do you have your own music? I'd love to hear it! =) All the best

I don't know who you are, but I'm glad this was your introduction to Alice in chains, as opposed up something from the unplugged show, which you will be flooded with suggestions from.

Once again you are the best vocal coach on you tube by far imo. You are a gift to the world in more ways than you know. Your analyses' are spot on. Your ability to physically show how these vocalists do what they do while educating us is unmatched. I personally crown you Queen of Vocal Nerds! Lol. Now if I may request some artists that require your expertise.NeObliviscaris : Forget Not,devour Me Colossus or Intra Venus. A progressive melodic death metal band with two vocalist and one plays a mean distorted violin. They are a must for a true rollercoaster ride . Next the mighty Opeth: Ghost of Perdition,Blackwater Park or Harlequin Forest all live at Red Rock amphitheater or Royal Albert Hall. The masters of melodic death metal. And Last but should be First on all Vocal Coaches list is Mike Patton. He has fronted 6 or more bands,solo projects ,voiceovers for movies and video games,etc. His abilities are comparable to Jeff Buckley,Dimash,Freddie Mercury and Alison Krausse. He has compilation vids of him singing in all genres. He is unmatched in ability,agility flexibility and has a 6 octave range. His rabbit hole is infectious to any true vocal nerd. So thanks for blessing us with another great vid. P.S. I and I'm sure many others are anxiously waiting for your next song. You are an amazing vocalist with a wide array of talents that the world needs to experience. Thanks again from South Mississippi.

[@avedic]

Layne's genius aside.....Jerry's guitar solo here is gorgeous.... I wish more modern guitar players played like that. Everything now is all ridiculously technically proficient....but feels utterly hollow and meaningless to my ears. It's why Polyphia does nothing for me. It's like writing a guitar part by playing every note, as fast as possible, as much as possible, in as many permutations as possible. It ends up sounding like Super Mario music played at 3x the speed while doing a ton of coke. It's about as sonically focused as Guardians of the Galaxy or Ready Player One is visually focused. It's sort of beating you over the head to impress you with how technically capable the players are. And that's just......boring. But listen to Jerry's solo here. It's proficient for sure. It's tight....but also a bit sloppy. It's kinda metal kinda blues kinda punk. It's got cool dissonant moments. It has thematic contours. And it's balanced by lots of notes falling over each other....along with long drawn-out sensual single notes ringing out..... idk.... I love a lot of modern music. I think music today is incredible....you just have to hunt for it. BUT.....guitar music these days? "Rock" music these days? It's either utterly derivative.....or it's just wanky noodling meant to impress by the sheer technicality of it all. But there's so little soul or pathos in any of it..... ok.....rant over. Sorry. :P Jerry's brilliant solo here just made me want to vent a bit. Am I alone in feeling this..?

[@ibanezman1025]

Well said and you’re definitely not alone!

[@Mreffs101]

You're definitely not alone. It might sound weird but the word that always comes to mind when Jerry plays a solo is "tasteful", similar to a jazz musician. It reveals a different level of proficiency.

Stumbled upon your channel as an avid AIC fan. Looove your explanation of Layne’s performance. More AIC please! Check out some “unplugged” songs, later in Layne’s career, he had lost some teeth at that point, yet manages these incredible sounds. Thank you for this reaction, enjoyed!

First time watching and I’ve watched many reviews of this song. I must say yours was the most epic. Also your eyes are hard to look away from💚

The best analysis I've seen for this type of performance! Perfect amount of scientifical.
