It was indeed formulated to be that way. I've known Trujillo's entire career, he has a way of getting really lucky. Right place, right time. And I do admire him. Still, I felt like Jerry's solo work was a way to persuade Layne to come back and improve it... until that was no longer possible. Then, Jerry cleared the fog of despair and moved forward, with great acclaim. But early AIC songs were all of them, his band, at their best. Boggy Depot stands well on its own, a testament to his individual talent. Just don't put too much stock in drummers and bassists until they've marked an untouchable style that stands out. I played bass and guitar up and down the Hollywood Strip. Didn't stand like they all have, but I have written songs that may one day surprise people- when it's too late to do anything but record and publish.
I didn’t care so much for Jerry’s solo stuff at first, but it grows on you to the point where you find yourself with ear worms of it constantly. I love AIC so much though. I’m just glad he’s still around and able to do his thing.
like honestly, as an AIC fanboy im glad he went on to make 2 independent albums, the 2nd being 2 whole hours no less, still capturing that classic AIC feel
That’s because it’s rock n roll, not this European pop junk that they’re mainstreaming these days. What do you think would happed if he snuck onto America’s got talent? Their heads would explode, or maybe their faces would just melt off.
I suggest everyone go out and BUY every Jerry Cantrell piece of music you can, and learn to appreciate him for the musical genius he is. You will then find out who was behind 95% of Chains' music - lyrically, vocally, and on the guitar. Layne was the beautiful cherry on top that made it recognizable.
I suggest u read the song credits in their CD liner notes before making seriously inaccurate comments. Do you own any AIC albums..? Or is it just "songs on RUclips"..?
Not 95%, but definitely the majority of the sound no doubt. He wrote the majority of the material for the albums, even when Layne was around. Layne may have been the soul, but it Layne was the mastermind behind the band's sound and direction. It's like Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda; lead singer is the soul of the band but in comparison to the guitarist and co-vocalist they didn't contribute as much substance.
Minnie W Cantrell wrote almost every music that AIC did except for 3 songs. Half of the songs Jerry wrote the lyrics for. Cantrell would have written more if he didn't hate writing lyrics. Cantrell wrote the lyrics and music for Rooster, Down in a Hole, Would?, No Excuses, Heaven Beside You, Grind, Them Bones and etc.
Uh-Huh...well I suppose even thoughs[it rhymed]comments 4 yrs olllds. .surgeon Gabe me medication station I ha b mt had this shit in yearrds. Omg...7 lovely things chick up above I 💯 hum...minds sleepydroopy .,funky loopy.
I think its crazy how many people Robert Truijilo[However you spell his last name] has played with. He played with black label society he played with suicidal tendencies Jerry cantrell and metallica. Insane talent lol
All of Jerry’s solo work went way under the radar, deserved so much more attention especially degradation trip vol1&2 which is a masterpiece. Jerry is a goddamn genius
Jerry Cantrell is way too overlooked as a metal riff master. Not to mention his lyrics and vocals. I'll love whatever he does until he calls it a career.
Yeah. It’s amazing how many awesome albums this guy has made over the years. His riffs are the perfect blend of hard, dark and bluesy at the same time.
@@puppetmaster8551 no.. I guess it's a matter of opinion but even their heaviest songs are not metal. Acid Bath... That's metal. Slayer... Metal.... Mastodon... Metal.... Pantera.... Metal.... AIC.... Not metal.
Proof that AIC wasn't just Layne, Which everyone should know. As a group they were magical and Jerry misses every minute of it. So don't talk like that about what you don't understand
Brody Reyno All the great lead guitarist have their own sound...listen to Slash’s band with Myles Kennedy...it sounds just like GnR... Without Layne there was no albums like Dirt or Facelift... same as Axl no Appetite or Use your illusion.... Great frontman and lead guitarists...
So true, I tell my friends all the time and no disrespect to Layne he is a top 5 greatest singer ever, but that's kinda all he was, was an amazing unequally talented singer but that's it he was a voice. Jerry was the brains behind AIC, the lyrics, the music, the overall sound and direction of the band was all spawned from the greatness of Jerry. Once again don't barrage me with hate because I'm a huge fan of Layne and respect appreciate, and miss him daily
@jerrycantrell3 no it’s like you hacked Jerry’s account because his isn’t @jerrycantrell13 damnit. be yourself that is bad when you pretend to be Jerry in order to talk to women on his RUclips
Such a sick, sick track! Jerry is a beast, no matter who or with. But, I'm so glad AIC is doing their thing! Miss Layne and Mike Starr dearly but AIC does justice to both!
Rob trujillo was everywhere round this time. Jerry, BLS, Ozzy then obviously metallica. Got a proper soft spot for infectious grooves as well though that's a few years earlier.
Cantrell is one of my fav guitar players. His style is unique. He could shred (there's some AIC tunes with some cool shredding solos) but he's on other way. Great riffs and hooks. Heavy as a ton and touching at the same time.
One of my favorite songs, I listen to all of your music,,it keeps me going, sometimes I just want to give up, I listen to you and I'm alright 🌹🔥🎸🎤🌹🔥🎸🎤💯
Fantastic album but I think degradation trip vol1&2 is better, especially because it’s like twice as long and has like no throwaway songs. Album is a masterpiece, Boggy depot rules too no doubt
A very Happy 56th Birthday Jerry Fulton Cantrell Jr. Born : March 18, 1966 Tacoma, WA. Jerry wanted to be an actor in his teens and has several acting credits to his name. But thankfully he concentrated on music to pay the bills. Many more Jerry Junior. Cheers!
I know AIC for 10 years.I knew Jerry did this on his own, never listened to it First time, AND WOW, i feel like I'm discovering something I know... Jerry becomes more and more my musical hero by the time...
My dad had this music video on a vhs tape and some of my earliest memories were watching this tape over and over. So cool to uncover something from my early childhood.
I’ve loved Jerry Cantrell since the first time I laid eyes on him back in 87 when he asked Layne to be in his band Alice In Chains. So many of his song lyrics are like he wrote them about me. I have endured hell and heartbreak more than anybody I know. So through it all Alice In Chains tunes were my comfort through the years. I was told by a gypsy back in the 80s that I’m psychic and I get strong vibes all the time from Jerry’s soul reaching out to mine. In my heart and soul I do believe it’s God intent for our paths to cross one another. And the two of us be together for eternity.
I think you mean 87, that’s when Layne joined. Anyway Jerry has written a lot of the most relatable lyrics and music I’ve ever heard, guy is a true genius and a special talent. The lyrics on “settling down” always hit me so hard because the 1st 2 verses were so relatable
Degradation Trip is as solid of an album as they come! Love this album!!! Got to see Jerry at The Whiskey , Roxy and Key Club in Hollywood when he was touring for this album. Those 3 shows have to be the loudest and some of the best shows I've ever been too!!! Met him behind the Whiskey while he was sitting in his car. I said Hi Jerry, I'm Jerry can I get your autograph. And then During the show he handed me a pic. Dude talk about as thick as a quarter!
This is honestly one of the best riffs ever written. Simple and powerful, pretty much like all Jerry's riffs. A true underrated guitar god - I'd rather listen to Jerry than pretty much any shredder (Satriani, Malmsteen, Petrucci, etc). I was lucky enough to see Jerry on the UK tour for this album with Comes With The Fall as support AND as his backing band.
It is ridiculous how addicting the riff is, it just never gets old. Jerry is a god, one of the best musicians ever and he has definitely earned his riff lord nickname. Fuckin legend
Yea the rift on this song that goes through the song, and ends the song "Ah, ah ah ah ha ha ah ha" . . . it's easier to put in music notes than in words . . . is one of the most beautiful riffs in rock history. Haunting. Jerry isn't called the Riff Lord for nothing. You can put words on top or not. The music speaks for itself.
Personally, I think Layne was the heart of AIC maybe because his voice was something I have never heard before and I will never hear again or maybe because of his "dark" lyrics. Pure genius. However, AIC's music wouldn't be the same without Jerry as it is not the same now without Layne . AIC without Layne is like Pantera without Dimebag or Metallica without James Hetfield.
OK, enough people calling Jerry “underrated” - he was one of the top 3 metal guitarists of the 90s - along with Tom Morello of RATM and the late but great Dimebag Darrell of Pantera.
Dude, Morello can’t be put in the same sentence with those two. RATM is great but Tom can’t hold a candle to either Jerry or Dimebag. Jerry as a songwriter is king and Dime is technically magnificent, Tom talks a lot and can beat box on guitar but that’s about it
He's underrated as a vocalist and a songwriter. He tops Lennon or McCartney, in my opinion. What is it now . . . 3 solo albums, one a double album with 25 songs (Degradation Trip . . . which is BRILLIANT) . . . plus the 4 albums with Alice 1.0, then another 3 albums with Alice 2.0, plus a few other tunes and songs here and there, like Get Born Again, just a small lil old tune. He is hugely underrated.
Let's not forget that all three of these guys, Trujillo, Bordin, and Cantrell, have played and recorded with Ozzy. Bordin and Trujillo played together on Ozzy's Down to Earth and Live at Budokan. They also did rerecorded drums and bass on 2002 reissues of Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman, due to legal issues from the original musicians. Bordin and Cantrell played together on Ozzy's Under Cover album, and Bordin also played on Black Rain.
I was fortunate enough to see this lineup at a bar show in Tampa. Jerry was looking rough in those days, but his show was on point. To this day one of the greatest rock shows I've ever seen.
IMHO, it is better than the white album. People just don't know what they don't know . . . Jerry as a solo force did not have the cultural impact of the Beatles in '68, but musically, the work is equally complex and exceeds the White Album, even, in musical depth.
I have come a long way to this point and right from the very beginning you my fans have been solidly behind me It’s been a landslide but we always pull through together,your love and support are amazing. Believe in your self you can always achieve your dreams Kindly tell me where you are from and also drop your email so you can be selected to lend your voice on my upcoming projects
@@zachgilbert7402 I wouldn't say replaceable. Hes one of the best voices ever. AiC is a different animal now. But great still and I hope they never quit doing their thing!
His first album was beast. He had Rex Brown (Pantera) on bass and Sean Kinney (Alice in Chains) on drums. But I'm not saying anything bad this album. Because Rob Trujilo is beast at bass also and I love Faith No More. So still each way Jerry still would have a good line up.
+Heresy Well according to an extreme tool fan yes, I actually really prefer A Perfect Circle, though I doubt we will get an album from either of them anytime soon.
I woke up with this song in my head and as I sat down at my computer with my coffee, popped open RUclips, there it was... recommended on my front page with other Cantrell solo stuff. Fuckin creeeepy
The band he assembled for boggy depot was fuckin great too, Sean and mike from AiC with Chris DeGarmo from queensryche. Jerry is a legend and is clearly extremely well respected among his peers

I didn't know Jerry Cantrell did a solo album, until I found Degredation Trip for $6 at my local CD store, and from beginning to end was awesome. Whether he's with Alice in Chains or not, the man is talented and this album shows he's got talent. Truijilo rips the bass too. 5 more days until I see Alice in Chains for the third time.
Did you find just the part 1 or the full 2 part album. Originally released a 1 part album because the record label but it was always intended to be 1 super long 2 part album and he eventually got to drop it with both vol 1&2 and man was it incredible, masterpiece album in my book

Cantrell, Truijillo and Bordin... Do people realise how much of a legendary combination that is?
I do! I'm just sad I never knew they worked together until now.
Need more of THIS ROCK AND ROLL!

Can't stand Trujillo. I think is because of that ridiculous crab walk he does.
I didn’t care so much for Jerry’s solo stuff at first, but it grows on you to the point where you find yourself with ear worms of it constantly. I love AIC so much though. I’m just glad he’s still around and able to do his thing.
This guy never writes a bad song
It's against his religion. ❤ LaneyBaby
Nope
Not gonna lie, without this song I might be way worse off. Jerry is a master of riffs and harmonies, underrated musical genius.
Lee MacWilliams it helps to remind us that the anger is not the master no matter how strong it may feel. layne is a beast!
Hang in there, it will get better
Underrated? Not a chance JC is respected by everyone who matters -
HELL YES!!!!!
One of the best songwriters ever, godly musician and a rock/metal icon and legend
The best grunge guitarist on this planet ! Jerry Cantrell ! Forever carrying Alice in Chains spirit
Best grunge songwriter too Imo and that’s a very high bar. Jerry is just a truly special musician in general
like honestly, as an AIC fanboy im glad he went on to make 2 independent albums, the 2nd being 2 whole hours no less, still capturing that classic AIC feel
Grunge ? THIS IS FUCKIN’ ROCK&ROLL!!!!!!
@@GothicSnowLeopard thats because he was pretty much writing the songs for alice and chains
@@overkiller654nope, Layne wrote a ton of them
Jerry Cantrell is my idol and he is absolutely an amazing musician!!!
ShredHead Maniac true
Same
He's more than an amazing musician=♡
Nice
Jerry Cantrell is the man!
He was so gorgeous back then. All that front man energy and that hair.
By far the sexiest riff beast he was during this time period and this video.
I'm 67 , just saw AIC ….. Still blown away ….. By the way I like classic music as well . Go figure
Hilarious. Thanks for that. \m/
That’s because it’s rock n roll, not this European pop junk that they’re mainstreaming these days. What do you think would happed if he snuck onto America’s got talent? Their heads would explode, or maybe their faces would just melt off.
Admire the talent and respect the work that it takes to bring a song from creative inkling to completion.
Probably the most underrated musician going.
he is not underrated! Jerry is a legend !!
Jerry Cantrell is NOT underrated, he is the most influential songwriter of *our generation and everybody knows this-Justified as well-
Billy Corgan would like a word with you.
Not sure he's underrated but he is definitely my favorite musician/songwriter.
Wah wah
I suggest everyone go out and BUY every Jerry Cantrell piece of music you can, and learn to appreciate him for the musical genius he is. You will then find out who was behind 95% of Chains' music - lyrically, vocally, and on the guitar. Layne was the beautiful cherry on top that made it recognizable.
You are wrong! Layne wrote half of the lyrics... and he was the soul of AIC and Jerry knows that.
I suggest u read the song credits in their CD liner notes before making seriously inaccurate comments.
Do you own any AIC albums..? Or is it just "songs on RUclips"..?
Not 95%, but definitely the majority of the sound no doubt. He wrote the majority of the material for the albums, even when Layne was around.

It's like Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda; lead singer is the soul of the band but in comparison to the guitarist and co-vocalist they didn't contribute as much substance.
Aourell Bzh Nah he wrote a lot less than half. He did fully write a few songs like Angry Chair, but most songs he wrote a tiny bit or none at all
Minnie W Cantrell wrote almost every music that AIC did except for 3 songs. Half of the songs Jerry wrote the lyrics for. Cantrell would have written more if he didn't hate writing lyrics. Cantrell wrote the lyrics and music for Rooster, Down in a Hole, Would?, No Excuses, Heaven Beside You, Grind, Them Bones and etc.
The whole story of Grunge still alive in one single name: Jerry Cantrell.
That's right. On the other hand, Eddie Vedder never took participation of this sub genre because his songs don't have these grunge characteristics 👌
I Love Jerry's look in this video. His hair looks amazing! Very attractive and so talented on so many levels. Love AIC and Jerry Cantrell

I am addicted to this riff
Yes
Yep
AIC in general
It's one of his finests.
The second song of this record is CRAZYYYY!! Bargain Howard Hughes something.
I think its crazy how many people Robert Truijilo[However you spell his last name] has played with. He played with black label society he played with suicidal tendencies Jerry cantrell and metallica. Insane talent lol
Drystan Barnett You forgot Ozzy Osbourne ;)
Grungi N Yeah with Zakk lol
Yeah man! :) Ozzy,Mike Bordin,Trujilo and Zakk ;) I like concert from Budokan where they played together. Awesome!
Drystan Barnett wasn't he bassist for Ozzy?
***** Cool! Ty for the info! I'm not sure if I like my own comment LOL! I was flying pretty high on the Vicodin train! ;)
My favorite DJ Mark, is playing this on the radio right now July 11, 2024. 😊❤
Jerry is one of the all time "riff" monsters!!!! No ifs, ands, or buts!!!!!
Jerry Cantrell is one of the greatest musicians of all-time! It's always bothered me that he doesn't get the credit and attention he deserves.
He gets the acclaim.
This song is so fucking underrated.
Way under
Absolutely
One of my faves . . . it's so freakin gorge!
All of Jerry’s solo work went way under the radar, deserved so much more attention especially degradation trip vol1&2 which is a masterpiece. Jerry is a goddamn genius
this song is awful. the lyrics are hideous
Never understood why this song was t more popular. It’s absolutely incredible. Jerry is brilliant.
How is it even possible to dislike this..

Proof that Jerry made AiC's sound.
Proof that AIC wasn't just Layne, Which everyone should know. As a group they were magical and Jerry misses every minute of it. So don't talk like that about what you don't understand

Irish Mule69 lol yep. There's so many parts and riffs on Slash's new album with them that just came out last month that gave me GnR vibes.
Yeah but it did not hurt having Layne Staley on board...Not taking anything away from Jerry

All the nights growing up spent head banging to this song haha. Jerry is the fuckin man.
Jerry was, is and will always be a very, very handsome man but in this age he was just on point! 😙🤌
I’ve loved Jerry Cantrell since the first time I laid eyes on him back in 87 when he asked Layne to be in his band Alice In Chains. So many of his song lyrics are like he wrote them about me.

Met him behind the Whiskey while he was sitting in his car. I said Hi Jerry, I'm Jerry can I get your autograph.

I was lucky enough to see Jerry on the UK tour for this album with Comes With The Fall as support AND as his backing band.

It is ridiculous how addicting the riff is, it just never gets old. Jerry is a god, one of the best musicians ever and he has definitely earned his riff lord nickname. Fuckin legend
There is something about a killer riff. Helmet though had some good ones!

However, AIC's music wouldn't be the same without Jerry as it is not the same now without Layne . AIC without Layne is like Pantera without Dimebag or Metallica without James Hetfield.
I agree. Layne had a beautiful voice.. Jerry is extremely talented and can hold his own vocally
Layne was the heart, Jerry was the brain.
@@NevermoreNevermore... Jerry wrote the majority of the lyrics dude.
@Jeff Yes, I know but Layne's lyrics are so dark and disturbing... I love it
OK, enough people calling Jerry “underrated” - he was one of the top 3 metal guitarists of the 90s - along with Tom Morello of RATM and the late but great Dimebag Darrell of Pantera.
It's pretty much every video of any given musician. "Underrated" is the new "who's watching in 2018".
I know what you mean, but I think he is underrated more so as a solo artist and vocalist.
I agree, tho still this thing has 1,3 mio clicks in 11 years that's really not much for a grunge music video and in my opinion really decent track
Dude, Morello can’t be put in the same sentence with those two. RATM is great but Tom can’t hold a candle to either Jerry or Dimebag. Jerry as a songwriter is king and Dime is technically magnificent, Tom talks a lot and can beat box on guitar but that’s about it
He's underrated as a vocalist and a songwriter. He tops Lennon or McCartney, in my opinion. What is it now . . . 3 solo albums, one a double album with 25 songs (Degradation Trip . . . which is BRILLIANT) . . . plus the 4 albums with Alice 1.0, then another 3 albums with Alice 2.0, plus a few other tunes and songs here and there, like Get Born Again, just a small lil old tune. He is hugely underrated.
HAIL JERRY
Jerry Cantrell rocks
😮
Jerry is a beast! I love everything this guy does.
Jerry Rob and Mikey what a grinding riff and thundering Baseline a totally rocking song. No shortage of talented musicians here they Rock🎸👍🤘
I wish AiC would've used this heavy ass riff with Layne's vocals. Damn that would've been something
Fuck fr fr!!
always a jerry cantrell follower...always
Let's not forget that all three of these guys, Trujillo, Bordin, and Cantrell, have played and recorded with Ozzy. Bordin and Trujillo played together on Ozzy's Down to Earth and Live at Budokan. They also did rerecorded drums and bass on 2002 reissues of Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman, due to legal issues from the original musicians. Bordin and Cantrell played together on Ozzy's Under Cover album, and Bordin also played on Black Rain.
I was fortunate enough to see this lineup at a bar show in Tampa. Jerry was looking rough in those days, but his show was on point. To this day one of the greatest rock shows I've ever seen.
Great song!! Jerry is so underrated! And dang, he looks really hot, here!
One of the greatest American songwriters of the last 20 years.
I'm not gonna lie. I'm jealous of this man's good looks. Haha.
Jerry Cantrell rules!!!!.....love this s..t!!!....and I'm 62!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
Such a massively underrated song writer!!! Fuckin love it
The album Degradation Trip is a gem
IMHO, it is better than the white album. People just don't know what they don't know . . . Jerry as a solo force did not have the cultural impact of the Beatles in '68, but musically, the work is equally complex and exceeds the White Album, even, in musical depth.
Hell to the yesss totally freaking awesome here it is almost two in the morning and I'm jamming to the legend Jerry Cantrell 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻♥️♥️🤘🏻🤘🏻
Jerry Cantrell, one of the best american rock musician..and AIC. his amazing art.
Such a great tune off an album that has no bad ones on it. Can't wait to hear his next solo album.
Jerry, if you're listening...gifted, your pain I know. I'll die with your words serenading peace in my ear
I have come a long way to this point and right from the very beginning you my fans have been solidly behind me
It’s been a landslide but we always pull through together,your love and support are amazing.
Believe in your self you can always achieve your dreams
Kindly tell me where you are from and also drop your email so you can be selected to lend your voice on my upcoming projects
Love it Jerbear. 😍
Jerry is a killer and awesome musician !! This is a great singer and guitar player!! A beast for create music!!
My inspirations for me to learn guitar are Richard Z Kruspe and Jerry Cantrell. I've been playing now for 12 years now.
I had just gotten into AIC when this song came out. Sadly shortly after Layne passed away. Glad i discovered AIC when i did.
I love this song Riff 💕🤘
Just great musicians coming together to jam with his fuxking greatness, Jerry Cantrell, to me he's among the greatest artists
Evee.
I love this song ❤
This song jumps right into a good tune as soon as it plays.
Cantrell=Stud = 'Nuff said
This is a perfect hard rock song.
Man people don't realize how talented jerry Cantrell is. Loved layne but jerry is the voice and talent of alice in chains.
i make this fight every time its on its a cult thing they want him cuz they cant have him anymore the reality he was just there and replaceable .
Hes great
He was the mind behind the band ,he wrote every song and riff
@@zachgilbert7402 I wouldn't say replaceable. Hes one of the best voices ever. AiC is a different animal now. But great still and I hope they never quit doing their thing!
Aic voice is Layne. Without him it's not the same, but Jerry is the riff master.
Another great riff from Mr. Cantrell-- I bow to thee!!
His first album was beast. He had Rex Brown (Pantera) on bass and Sean Kinney (Alice in Chains) on drums. But I'm not saying anything bad this album. Because Rob Trujilo is beast at bass also and I love Faith No More. So still each way Jerry still would have a good line up.
Nothing is better than tool tho
Heresy True that lol
+Heresy Well according to an extreme tool fan yes, I actually really prefer A Perfect Circle, though I doubt we will get an album from either of them anytime soon.
Have all of Jerry's music, Layne was unreplaceable, has been for the good, Jerry's voice incredible, want them to play in Tampa every weekend, love.
Finally! It hit 1 million!
I woke up with this song in my head and as I sat down at my computer with my coffee, popped open RUclips, there it was... recommended on my front page with other Cantrell solo stuff. Fuckin creeeepy
He assembled such a great band for this. With the time line it's like Robert left this video shoot and went strait to the Metallica audition
The band he assembled for boggy depot was fuckin great too, Sean and mike from AiC with Chris DeGarmo from queensryche. Jerry is a legend and is clearly extremely well respected among his peers
@@puppetmaster8551 it also had Rex brown on a few songs and les claypool
jerry is such a good song writter.......period
This song is so awesome....

Cantrell a true master. He has been overlooked as being one of the best guitarists ever.
I didn't know Jerry Cantrell did a solo album, until I found Degredation Trip for $6 at my local CD store, and from beginning to end was awesome. Whether he's with Alice in Chains or not, the man is talented and this album shows he's got talent. Truijilo rips the bass too.
5 more days until I see Alice in Chains for the third time.
How was the concert?
Did you find just the part 1 or the full 2 part album. Originally released a 1 part album because the record label but it was always intended to be 1 super long 2 part album and he eventually got to drop it with both vol 1&2 and man was it incredible, masterpiece album in my book
One of the best songs i ever heard ever 👍😎
