REACTION COMPILATION | Alice in Chains - Man in the Box | First Time Mashup

[@WonderMommaOG]

💬Two nights in a row! Love this band, love this song. Tragic backstories as well. I hope you all enjoy this one. Onto the next!💜

[@el_grunge]

U r the best WonderMommaOG - AIC is the best grunge band - Thanks

[@Prone2Thrill]

Momma's been busy! Love your videos

[@renechavarria2683]

That was so quick 😮

[@Coats2112]

Personally, I think the harmony of Cantrell and Staley is just as good as the ladies in the B-52's. A perfect match.

[@Sigma1_969]

Makes me sad listening to Alice in Chains... knowing what Layne went through. If you do any other A.I.C. songs, then I recommend the M.T.V. unplugged version of Nutshell. Thank you WonderMommaOG.

[@Star_R666]

They might have been called grunge but AIC had such a specific sound due to Layne's vocals and Jerry's harmonies and his guitar. RIP Layne and Mikey.

[@jtfree348]

Yes,that "specific" sound,is "Grunge" music. That "Specific sound" is wht separated it from rock and other music!

[@insiddious]

The only band out of the Seattle 4 that could be considered grunge was Nirvana, and to some extent Soundgarden. Pearl Jam was blues-punk and AIC was heavy metal.

[@Marnee4191]

They are "grunge" along the same lines that Pink Floyd are "rock".

[@josephstevenson552]

I like to put them in the rock/hard rock category just because of Jerry's heavy guitar sound.

[@jasonagenda3638]

Saw them in 1992. One of the best shows of my life for sure. Layne was even wheeled out in a wheelchair after recovering from a motorcycle accident. He just propped himself up with the mic stand and rocked that place down.

[@WonderMommaOG]

That's quintessential rock star shit right there!

[@cainealexander-mccord2805]

That sounds epic.

[@mrpotatohead2993]

Saw them on same tour. Mike starr spent more time in the chair than Layne did. Layne climbed and jumped off PA on sides of stage all night.

[@jakes3059]

I saw this tour as well. He must have been new to the injury because he would just wheel to one side of the stage to the other. Also, I think he had a couch to sit on. Still blew it out. Opening for Ozzy right? Also, Mr. Video always makes me laugh! He is fired up.

[@mrpotatohead2993]

@@jakes3059 yes. Ozzy tour. With sepultura minus Max (sick). Andreas handled vocals.......and I forgot all about the couch. 🤘

[@AkelaTalamasca]

The coolest part of this video was seeing your creative process. A lot goes into the making of one of these! I hope more people learn to appreciate how tough it is to edit one of these together!

[@WonderMommaOG]

Thanks so much!

[@garylagstrom3864]

I saw Layne in a three piece suit at the start of their set on Lollapolooza in 93 and it was like 95 degrees that day! Needless to say he took the jacket tie vest and shirt off after playing Would the first song to start the show! Very charismatic singer and great stage presence! His voice very unique and an unbelievable range! RIP Layne! Layne’s mom said it best regarding his voice: it’s like Nails surrounded by marshmallows! I agree👍🏻 RIP LAYNE❤️

[@stevenphilpott1493]

saw them in 93 at the Gorge! so freakin good! also freaking hot(95) on the Columbia River

[@nicshere]

Perfect analogy.

[@Ozarks420]

I miss Layne so bad it kills me how much we lost out on by not having his presence in music today.

[@dianamcmullin5231]

The Man in the Box was a man named Doc. He lived in a cardboard box in downtown Seattle. He managed to get a job at a local club setting up for shows. One weekend they were setting up a showcase for labels to see the local music scene. Doc got to talking to a lady from a label. They hit it off and she offered him a job. The last they saw of Doc was him heading to LA to work for the label. True story. My husband knew Doc well.

[@EuphoriaDeep]

I love Alice in Chains. They got big, but never as big as they should have. Facelift is still my favorite album they ever did. Thanks Momma, you rock!

[@nyghtmareinmi]

Alice in Chains was the great link between heavy metal and grunge. From Man in the Box to Would to Down in a Hole all the way to No Excuses and Rooster, Layne's raw, gritty, angsty, bluesy voice with Jerry Cantrell's amazing drop down guitar licks.....Alice In Chains was the complete package.

[@jamesjohnson8924]

Can't forget Dirt, that song is what opened the channels into metal for me

[@nyghtmareinmi]

I remember hearing Metallica Alice in chains and all the rest for the first time Metallica as a teenager and Alice in my early 20s it's such a mad feeling that will b with me forever..once a metal head always a metal head I'm now 52 and still love it

[@mctrashpedal]

I ❤ how Momma ends every vid with "THANK YOU" when *we* should be thanking *her*! THANK YOU MOMMA!

[@chriztianrox]

Yes! Alice In Chains is one of the greatest rock bands of all time and Layne Staley has one of the most powerful voices ever. If you haven't yet, do a mashup of the live version of Love, Hate, Love. Keep up the good work!

[@WonderMommaOG]

Apples and Oranges, in my opinion. Both are fruit and amazing in their own ways.

[@chriztianrox]

@user-fp9qg3qm5b Those British invasion bands are great, but don't go overboard. Those other bands DEFINITELY don't blow them away. Plus, they are a different style so really not a good comparison. Besides, I said they were ONE OF the best, not THE best. Anyway, to each their own.

[@brettkenschaft4239]

Like lots of other people, I'm sure, my introduction to the new music scene coming out of Seattle (aka grunge) was Smells Like Teen Spirit. I instantly loved it and could practically smell the upcoming changes in the musical landscape in the air. But THIS song is the one that really grabbed me and I became a huge AIC fan. Layne was the man!!

[@drogusmaxwell6640]

Best band of the 90's, in my opinion. I got to be part of that Seattle grunge scene when I was in my mid 20's. Seattle changed rock, forced music to evolve. It was a great time in the PNW! 🤘

[@slider954]

RIP Layne and Mike

[@katychambless1280]

Awww... I forgot about Mike. 😢

[@ronaldriis1023]

The chorus as sung by the late, great Layne Staley is spine chilling. Amazing. And Jerry Cantrell is a demon guitarist.

RIP Layne!!! There will never be another voice like his!!!

[@lyleschoepflin5444]

This was the song that started my love of this band, Layne had such a unique voice. Paired with Jerry's harmony and song writing made this band my favorite of the grunge era.

The 90s is the most underrated decades when it comes to music.... And it was friggen magical!✨

[@justinwilder3514]

I love Layne, he was THE powerhouse voice of the 90’s to me, but Jerry was the man behind the scenes. This song alone: he did talk box, wah pedal, lead guitar and the solo, AND backup vocals. The man had 0 reason to go that hard but made it sound so flawless!

[@mil2k11]

First AIC vid I ever saw and was instantly hooked. When they hit, every body was into Nirvana & Pearl Jam. I got instantly into AIC & Stone Temple Pilots who both - at the time - were receiving less than half of the airplay. RIP Layne - one of the greatest voices I've ever heard.

[@joelmbaumgartner]

Totally agree, except I’ll replace STP with Soundgarden, because the only person who was vocally able to compete with Layne was Chris Cornell.

[@mil2k11]

@@joelmbaumgartner That hits well bro and I 100% agree. But SG didn't do it for me as much as Audioslave.

The first time I heard this song I was at a carnival in my hometown it had just came out one of the guys working the ride I was waiting in line for I said man that jam is beyond what is that he said it's AIC out Seattle. I said I haven't ever heard a voice with that much intensity. I have been a fan since that moment.

[@JClaus1221]

The second Seattle Grunge album released on a major label (Soundgarden was first) and the first one to go Gold thanks to this video receiving monstrous MTV airplay. It went multi platinum later after Nirvana brought the masses to the Seattle scene.

[@vincents9620]

AiC and SG were Metal before "grunge" became a media term for All Seattle bands that sound nothing alike

[@JClaus1221]

@@vincents9620 Actually was a term created and used by one of the owners of Sub Pop. He used it in an interview in 1987 to describe Green River. They continued to use the term on other releases from that point onward. Cobain himself used it in interviews from 1989 onward, so when they blew up it was natural it would follow.

[@mikecreery7666]

I was in rehab with Lane Staley, lead singer. In Monroe , Washington State. Valley General Hospital. Literally this video came out on MTV, their first video, when we were in rehab together. He was my roommate, nice , funny, quiet guy. I was young, 18, so I never hooked up with the band after. It was my first fascination with heroin, he never introduced it to me but I left there with the thought in my mind watching his struggles. That's how cunning baffling and powerful it is. To fascinate about a thing that will more then kill you. I Ended up homeless 5 years later and would see him on the streets in the U-District, Seattle, in his last days, literally. He had a condo off 46th ave, I didn't, I was in a tent. We were going down bad. But for the grace of God there went I. I got it together and have built a life. Stay away from drugs and find your hidden talents. Everyone has a gift for something inside them. Don't waste your time as a youth. It brings me to tears to see the millennials discover all the music I grew up on. It was truly a special, special time.

[@WonderMommaOG]

Congratulations on surviving all of that. I know it wasn't (and still isn't) easy so you should be very proud of yourself. Thanks for sharing.

Alice in Chains is my #1 and Pearl Jam is my #2.
