beyond stoked that Joey digs chains
I like him a lot more now
he doesn't, hi coked up head just makes it up
?@@astroboirap
Begins the story of how he was turned on to the best album by AIC--context wise, I heard that happened recently-- then proceeds to say he loved the Seattle grunge sound back in the day and names them specifically....maybe a fan but not long term. I feel like he just heard the album last week. My piece anyway. one.@tuckyfried4042
@@Floydfan47no shit. Yayoo fans are into talking heads, what’s next? “I was always into black flag, I just never talked about it or acted like I heard it before because I’m about being a fat pos grifter”
Lol. This is like when the queen movie came out and all these urban trash channels “listened to queen” for the first time…. Shut up with your bs
I was extremely depressed and low, to the point I had a suicide note written and everything "planned out". I told my brother I wanted to hang out with him - not telling him it would be the last time if I went through with my plan - and we went cruising around in his car, just chatting and reflecting on things. He told me he'd been on an Alice in Chains kick and started recommending songs to me. I listened to each one he recommended and really liked what I was hearing, but when I got to "Down in a Hole" it hit me hard. It was like my spirit had come from another universe where I had gone through with what I had planned and delivered this message to me. It resonated so much that I told myself, "what the hell, I'll give living another shot" and decided to keep moving forward with my life. That was about 7 years ago. Every time I hear that song it gives me chills. A masterpiece.
Dang dude that just made me cry! The way you told your story … I’m so happy you’re still here and he told you about AiC… amazing music that speaks to soul… ❤
Did you tell him?
Good for you for making it through man, happy for you
It's amazing how music can touch the soul like nothing else.
weak. be strong
Weird you posted this, been listening to this album all week & I'll have 7 years clean from H in two days
Congrats, keep pushing forward 💪
Same as far as listening to the album already. I was like whattt
Well done and congratulations. In 2015 my wife and I sat down and started compiling a list of all the people we lost to heroin. When we hit 21 names we just had to stop Because we had so much further to go and these are all people that we missed dearly and still love very much.
Again congratulations.✌️
Congrats! I just celebrated 7 years off junk on Saturday. Rock on, brother!
@@FalconianPhilosopher Congratulations✌️
Songwriting, band chemistry, production, vibe, everything. Not many bands can rip your face off one song and make you reflect deeply on the next. Straight classic!
The insane vocal harmonies between layne and Jerry are a crucially unique element to their music too
Couldn’t have put it better. You’re ready to fuck someone up then your crying then you’re thinking about every decision you’ve made in your life
The greatest grunge album of all time
Love the album, hate the "grunge" term. It's all just rock n roll tuned down a half step.
Nirvana was grunge, AIC was metallic hard rock imo.
@@bumface1810they were all from the grunge movement… grunge isn’t a genre… nirvana was more punk rock and AIC was alternative metal/ hard rock
@@Nolimitcam._ yes I don’t like the term ‘grunge’ because it isn’t a definable sound, rather a lazy journalist catch all term for the depressive Seattle hard rock bands of the late 80’s/early 90’s. Nirvana was punk slowed down. Which sounded nothing like Soundgarden’s sludgey/soulful hard rock or AIC’s metallic hard rock.
@@elbob17 yes, AIC is beyond that and beyond any other band. All musician fellas know that, example alice and chaney
Mad season “above” album is right there with dirt, same singer from AIC Layne Staley and other Seattle band members from “Pearl Jam”and “screaming trees”
Rain when I die is my fave song ever
I've gone back and forth on my favorite AIC song for 35 years. I tend to come back to No Excuses or Sea of Sorrow.
ah ahhhhhhhhh
Rooster for me
Died. One of their last songs, and nobody talks about it
rain when i die is one of the best heavy alice in chains tunes ever you are 100% correct mate
Junkhead baby!!! Love that one, represents a dark time in my life.
Same here bro.
“…and I do it a lot.”
Live
Whats my drug of choiiiiice?
Well what do you goooot?
My first year after moving out of my folks’ house at 16, I could finally be the mad bastard that I was full-time; I didn’t have to pretend to be their brand of normal so they weren’t up my arse all day… I was primarily a wake-up-Blood-Mary alcoholic and an acid freak, but also, I would crash university parties with my best mate, who was a mad, brilliant little chick who did steel sculpture with an oxyacetylene rig and was my equal-at least- in terms of illicit experience, but she didn’t act ditty and retarded like so many intoxicated chicks. She didn’t need me to , like, fucking SUPERVISE her. She handled herself like a bloke. Anyroad, someone would offer me a bump of coke out a little vial, and I’d tip my hat and say, ‘Don’t mind if I do,’ then slip into the WC outside of which the geezer who offered was standing, I’d dip inside,lock the door, do a small bump, verify it was good, then take a healthy short, check my nostrils, and, feeling energised,and the beginning of that manic coke grin stretching at the corners of my lips, I’d graciously thank the guy, and say, ‘Much obliged, mate; send everybody my way. I’ll take fuckin anything. If anybody’s got something, and they don’t know what they’ve got, send ‘em my way-I’ll take a few and tell ‘em what it is. I will literally take anything. I’m not immortal, man, but experience has proven that I cannot die of pharmaceuticals.’ I was 16 or 17, when I said that. Surely enough, although I took ENORMOUS quantities of pills and powders (especially after going over the edge after taking literally thousands of tabs of quality, green geltab acid between age 14-15 and age 19 (this was the late 90s)), all while drinking great volumes of Scotch and rum, I didn’t die till I turned 28… and that was from NOT drinking. I was down-and-out, crippled by adult-onset muscular dystrophy that had been diagnosed as ALS, so I was trying to OD/drink miself to death before the ALS could kill me, and things were going in the right direction, but you wouldn’t BELIEVE how well my body metabolises booze. I had to drink 2 or 3 times a normal bloke’s portion to do any damage (and it’s crazy, cos I’m a skinny guy; in peak form I was a very wiry 150lbs for 6 ft, with a swimmer’s/cyclist’s/climber’s physique. 0% body fat. As I got lazier, I stopped exercising AND I lost all appetite…so I didn’t get fat, I dropped down to 125 lbs. Yet I still had twice/thrice the tolerance of a bloke twice my mass.
But what killed me was the day I ran out of money. No money, no booze. No booze…seizures. Bad ones. I told my girlfriend that she’d best not call an ambulance; I said, “This is my chance. If I die, I die.’ I’ll give ya one guess what that meddling bint did. An indeterminate amount of time later I sat up in a panic; something was totally wrong. I was in a room full of white light. It didn’t smell of my custom high-nicotine cigarettes. I was having trouble focussing my eyes, but I saw shapes moving at the end of what I determined to be a very clean bed. ‘Where the fuck am I?’ I asked. Suddenly, I could see all of the hazy heads at the bottom of my bed turn toward me.
It turned out I had been dead for over 4 minutes (4m1s, to be exact). A Grand Mal seizure had shut my heart and lungs down whilst I was there at the ER. I responded to no lifesaving measures and my DNR said ([Paraphrased] Administer first aid, but don’t use any mechanical devices to keep his dead husk going. That means no heart-lung machines, etc. Those medical professionals in the room had declared me dead and were tidying up and all, when I awoke out of nowhere.
That shite was mad. I briefly felt fantastic. I checked myself out against the advice of the doctor. I said, ‘What do you know?’ Whatever brought me back from death, was something way more intense than you. It looks as though as long as that thing wants me alive, I can’t die.’
This is the part nobody believes. I swung by the waiting area to pick up my then-girlfriend. I was feeling cheerful, so I didn’t want to ruin that by fighting with her, so I just didn’t say anything, except, ‘Let’s go.’ It was a cold night, but at least the pavements weren’t icy. We started walking back to our flat. As we did, we approached a corner, where there once used to be a cinema-now abandoned and all shut down. As we approached this corner, I saw a slim, dark shape in the yellow pool of light thrown by the sodium street lamp. I’d know that shape anywhere. I breathed, ‘That can’t possibly be what it looks like.’ It was. It was a totally sealed bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon sitting, as if placed on display, there, oin the pavement, at 0200 or so. I was so weirded out by this that before I got anywhere near it, I had my switchblade out and I was scouring the intersection for traps, or for people looking to ambush me. My girlfriend then brought up a good point: ‘Why on Earth would anyone want to capture you? You have no money, I have no money…Your parents have some money, but they’re not wealthy, and they’d not pay it to save YOU, anyway.’ This is why I kept her around, despite the fact she infuriated me. She was utterly barmy with regard to herself, but she would tell me when I was full of bullshit-which was often-because despite how far I’d fallen in the world, I still believed myself far more interesting and important than I was.
Anyway, that’s the tale of how God (or y’know, whatever) resurrected me from Death and gifted me a free bottle of decent quality wine afterward, as if to welcome me back.
YOU CANT UNDERSTAND A USERS MIIIIND
One of the most important albums in rock history. A certified classic!
That's overkill
@@jimsonjohnson3761 I think hes right. Its a classic album with many great songs. From start to finish, this album is in my top 10 if I was on a desert island and could only take 10 albums.
overkill? Jesus, dude@@jimsonjohnson3761
@@jimsonjohnson3761it absolutely is, idk wtf you’re talking abt
@@jimsonjohnson3761overkill? Not many rock albums compete with dirt insofar as influence and quality. Can you name even ten?
Piece of art. And Lucky us for living trought it.
Down in a hole!!! That song hits you differently
Goosebumps thinking about it man
My favorite of theirs
Man especially on the unplugged album. My lord it's amazing.
On my top 10 greatest albums of all time. True masterpiece.
R.I.P. Layne and Mike.
Them bones from alice in chains will always be my favorite track. Got to hear this song a lot growing up playing atv offroad fury on ps2😅
And Gta San Andreas
Bro hell yes me and you both love that game that whole soundtrack is killer
Same!
Terra firma 1 👍
Same here! Good times.
This album changed my life!!! I still play it in 2024
Amazing vinyl.....
Rip 🎸 🕯
Front to back BANGERS. Killer album
True
My Dad always liked Alice in Chains. My Dad died in September. I remember being in his pickup and listening to this album a lot when I was young. The memory most burned into my brain is hearing Rain When I Die. I started listening to them again a lot more religiously a month or two before he died. When I left to go see him in hospice, it rained. Like almost zero chance of rain, but at my house it was POURING. I remember being like.. damn he really is gonna die. He died two days later.
Love this album, I listen to it to feel close to my father again. I miss him.
“New Orleans, gotta get
Pin cushion medicine
Used to be curious
Now the shit’s sustenance”
Hate to feel
All this time I swore I would never be like my old man
But it turns out thats exactly who i am
Plastic Man,paper plate
I always thought he was say such a mess lol
A bonafide masterpiece. It’s disgusting how heavy that album is. Joey was right on the money with this one.
Acid Bath
This is possibly my favorite album of all time! Definitely my favorite band
Same by far
I'm with ya as far as studio recordings go. But something about the AIC Unplugged album for me, personally it's the greatest record ever made.
This album is 10/10 every single song.
Hey don’t say that, I don’t have enough accounts to like this comment !
From Seattle and I grew up with my dad listing to them with my dad there my favorite bad R.I.P Layne and Mike
Bro! This album is an all American blues rock album. Heaviest album I've ever listened to.
I’ve never heard it described that way, but you’re right on the money. It’s very bluesy, and I love this album with all my heart.
Very bluesy in song structure as well
Jerry’s songwriting always heavily borrows from country blues
Would is the most quintessential Alice in Chains song in my opinion, this album has so many killer tracks. Dam That River, Them Bones and so many more. Absolute classic
IF. I. WOULD. COULD. YOUuuuuuuuu?????
One of the greatest albums ever
damn my boy just put me on Alice in chains and then I hear it from Joey too crazy 😂
Anyone who did c0caine in the 1990s loves Alice in chains
Don't you mean heroin? They were heroin junkies not coke heads but possibly a speedball or goofball every now and again. Coke is a party drug if you drink booze and do clubs scene and keg party's then you probably done coke or seen it. Not sure what you mean by this comment.kind of sounds like something a kid would say . Does your mom know you're on the Internet?
@@cooter1352very gay
@@cooter1352you’re a nut
@@cooter1352Wtf are you talking about
One of our favorites!
You tell'em Joey! One of the greatest of all time.
Greatest grunge album of the time. This album touches my heart and soul. 🤘🏼
A classic to have on hand at all times.
Album is a work of art
My favorite band of that era.
One of my favorite albums of all time.
Happy birthday to jerry. Rip layne. I love this album
I've been listening to Dirt to and from work almost every day for the past year!
Never got into chains until i was older. I got a job helping a contractor a few decades older than me who was recovered from alot of the junk from that era but still ripped heaters constantly and was covered in jail tats. There was something about building outside in the elements with the cigs and old school joints that were fat in the middle and Dirt playing that was just perfect. Ive been listening to this album probably once a week since. rain when i die is my favorite.
Totally agree with you Joey. Amazing fkn album. Best band from the grunge era no doubt.
I love AIC. They are actually one of my favorite bands of all time. I never would have thought that you liked them too. Hell yeah!
"This is album of the week, I am not gonna do it every week" lmao😂
That's Joey for ya lol
EARLY 90'S - MY DAD SOLD AN OUNCE OF WEED TO A.I.C. His sister and friend knew Danimal the Animal who booked shows for the Worcester, MA area. They all got together and hung out and made macaroni and cheese. My dad was annoyed by them, he suffered no stoney baloney dude types. he said one of them kept asking "do I know you, man? I swear I know you!" This was before Dirt I think, touring on the first album. Maybe when Dirt was about to drop
Absolute perfection.
Hells yeah!!! One of the best albums ever! ✌️❤️
Thank god you're around Uncle Joey!. Also, fuckin preach. You're my fucking preacher now. I've always loved you anyway and now your talking about maybe the favorite album of my youth. This album hits me on a level that's hard to describe and always has. Thanks man!
top ten best album of the 90’s for sure
You helped me through a lot of hard times in my life you truly are uncle Joey respects from Ontario Canada!!! 🇨🇦
AIC my favorite band.
Great album, glad you found it Uncle Joey
One of the only albums i can still listen to from front to back even today.
Bro! Dirt is A GREAT ALBUM! ONE OF MY FAVORITES OF ALL TIME!!
Literally just started to listening to this album about 2 weeks ago
My favorite band of all time.
been listening to this heavy the last 6 months. Could not agree more then everything Joey said. It is a true masterpiece from top to bottom.
A perfect album.
I've been back on an aic binge for the past month or so. Can not get enough
Played this to death in my teens and wore the CD out in my teens and then a year ago brought it on Vinyl, 30yrs later still strong.
90s AIC will always be one of my favorites bands of all time! Helped me through a lot of hard times!
This album saved my life. I was at my lowest point in 2020, as many were. Breakups, breakdowns, and the natural isolation that came with social distancing when COVID was at its peak. I decided randomly to listen to this record cuz I loved "Would?" and everything clicked. Mike Starr and Sean Kinney are a rhythm section that could go blow for blow with ANYBODY, Jerry Cantrell's guitar inspired me to become a heavier, more melodic, and even better guitarist, and Layne Staley's voice reached out and hit me in my soul in a way that made me realize I wasn't alone. Hands down one of my favorite albums of all time, one of only 5 I'd genuinely consider a 10/10. Even the songs I skip most days I listen to now and again and am blown away by the quality of the production and the musicality between those four.
Love Alice in Chains, love Uncle Joey.
Mike Starr was the bassist for this album at the time but Inez is still a beauty musician
Ahaha to people thinking covid was "isolation"
@@christianw5436 right right, love Mike Starr for sure
@@dyslexicbatnam1350 thats like laughing at people who are suffering from a breakup like "ahaha to people who are not virgins" - noones laughing with you, theyre laughing at you bro lmao
with that being said i was always a loner in my middle age, being divorced and having a boring but profitable office sales job so covid changed almost nothing in my life, so i feel you. But that made me slightly concerned about myself and my mental health, not proud that other people who have healthy support systems, friends and partners, were affected by it more lol
Mike Starr is the one who played on this album. He's the bass player inspiring you , playing on "Would" too. When you speak of those four, the ones that created that sound.... you're talking abouit Layne, Jerry, Sean & Mike Starr.
My god hust when i though i couldn't possibly love Joey Diaz any more
Rain when I die still makes me weep as I crank out push-ups
Uncle Joey be spitting some facts. Dirt is legendary.
Rain When I Die hits so hard
Uncle Joey keep doing these!.. born in 95 love the perspective you remind me of my uncle from queens
Great album. RIP Layne Staley.
And Mike Starr
Never realized how much of a rock music fan you are.
I never knew that I needed Joey‘s opinion about some of my favorite music until now
I love that the first half of the video is censored and the rest isn't
That's for ads on RUclips
See sometimes when ur struggling and you hear uncle joey loves you it makes me feel some sort of way that I have a place I don’t know why but sometimes you just don’t hear that enough
Junk head was my anthem for a long time
Alice in Chains isn't my favorite band from the Seattle scene but Dirt is probably my favorite album from that scene.
Dirt is one of my favorite albums
25 bong hits REAL
Crying tears of joy joeys completely right and im glad hes just now finding one of the best albums of all time 🤘
No way Joey Diaz listens to the same shit? Bro that's bad ass. You gotta do more of these.
Thought the same thing.
I never would have thought Joey would be into Grunge, I love him even more now
Loved this
Absolutely one of the greatest albums I heard growing up. Thanks Pops for always giving me this amazing music. Alice in Chains will always will be one of my favorite groups ever. Still got it on Vinyl and CD because of him.
You posted this as soon as I was really getting into their music
"They ain't found a way to killlll me yet,
eyes sting with burningggg sweat,
Seems every path leads me to nowhereeeeeeee"
The grunge scene is hands down my favorite era of music. When I was younger, Nirvana was my favorite. But then I grew up, and realized my favorite was actually Alice In Chains.
Dont go a full day without Staley in my ears. As dark as it is. It's an all year around affair for me. Anything Staley. Anything Anselmo.. 🤚
Rain when I die will forever send me to another dimension when it comes on. Absolutely life changing.
Absolute classic album. Dark, drug addled and brilliant Joey
I've been addicted to this album this entire year!!! Its just on a league of its own just for Staley's voice. And Joey didnt even mentioned man in the box, its fucking awesome!
Junkhead is my favorite on there. The way it comes in is just dark, and heavy. Great Chorus hook too.
There aren't too many things better than firing one up, having a cold beer and listening to Rain When I Die as loud as it will go in the dark.
my favourite alice in chains album
I’ve been listening to this album all month. Great album
I keep this cd in my truck all the time. My favorite band ever! this made my day! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Hell yes! One of the best albums of all time!
Joey Diaz loving AIC makes me so happy.
Some of the best music we will ever hear
I’ve always said Dirt is one of the few albums I can start and finished without skipping a song really. Every. Fckn. Song. They played their hearts out you can just feel that shyit. Easily still one of the best and most appreciated albums to this date in 2024.
Listen to joey talk anything
One of the best talkers you ever heard
My favorite album of all time in any genre. Such a deep cutting body of work
Joey is spot on, “you gotta get it in when you can get it in”. The joys of being a music lover with a house hold full on kids
Man I listened to this CD until my 45 second skip protection couldn't keep the skips from skipping! 1 of the top 5 best albums ever produced! Rip Lane. Thanks Uncle Joey! ❤ Ya homie!
Best album of the 90s to me. Every member of the band is so tight and Jerry is an amazing song writer. Layne Staley was the most unique and powerful singer in like the last 30 years.
Literally in the last month ive been listening to AIC and this album in particular on repeat so bizzare your doing a video on it
MORE ALBUMS OF THE WEEK PLEASE UNCLE JOEY.
I agree with you, Joey, the whole fucking album rocks
AIC’s Dirt is easily one of my all time favorite albums! Down in a Hole is the anthem of my life. I am forever grateful for their music and how therapeutic it has been for me! Them & Pearl Jam
Their unplugged is also amazing
