Mad Season is so underrated…. Layne here is brilliant and the most lyrics in song here are written by him. I recommend Mad Season -Wake up live performance, this song Layne wrote about his adiction and it’s so hertbreaking looking him singing this in live … he gave it all … RIP angry angel you will never be forgotten.. ❤️
Totally agree with ur comment 😢I miss him deeply. He sang from his ❤& true feelings. I believe he missed Demri so much he grief took him deeper into his addiction. When we r broken we believe at times death is a way of healing our pain. 😢😢😢 Miss Layne very much ❤
Layne recorded this album while Alice In Chains was temporarily broken up. The band kind of imploded when he unfortunately relapsed again. So he came together with this other group, and his singing does sound incredible on that record. He was also very satisfied with the finished album.
My favourite songs from this album are 'Wake Up' & 'Long Gone Day' w/Mark Lanegan (who passed in 2022). Check those out if you have a chance, the live show at The Moore 1995. The whole show is great.
Have you read Lanegan's memoir which was published in 2020? He talks about working on that song with Staley, and how the members of Mad Season listed him as a fully credited songwriter on the entire album. Lanegan also had a bad addiction problem and just when he was at his lowest financially, a royalty check arrived from the sales of this album and he blew it on heroin. He also talks about Staley essentially moving into his apartment and they ran a crack-dealing business in the First Hill neiighborhood.
Love your reactions! Layne is the Goat!! And his story is amazing,we go to his birthday tribute every year in August that his mom started in 2002 the year he passed away. You should come out with us in 2024❤ Rain when I die is another amazing song by Alice in chains ❤
Just watched all your AIC reactions and now this one...new subscriber and here for all AIC (even with William) and any Layne...may I suggest "Rain When I Die"
@kshavon3098 may I also suggest to react to original versions of their songs? While the Unplugged versions are beautifully done I think it would be better to listen to them the same way we did for the first time
Hey BF, glad you got turned on to this. Whole album is fire. My fav is "Artificial Red" Layne wrote River of Deceit about his drug addiction and it was inspired by a book he read The Prophet. 💚🤙
Hey BF and K Crew, hope all is well. Another great supergroup made up of guitarist Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, lead singer Layne Staley of Alice in Chains, R.I.P., drummer Barrett Martin of Screaming Trees, and bassist John Baker Saunders. Loved when they made up these super groups, like...Temple of Dog, Bad Company, Cream, Traveling Wilburys, etc. How can u fail when u bring the best parts of a group together. Thanx so much darlin', Much love, Peace
Still waiting on this pain pump implant. U have to jump thru hoops like a circus dog for health care in this country. They have me in a traction brace that Im hating. Supposed to help but adds more pain. Anyways, theres no giving up, no surrender. Just keep fighting for now and for health cares future. Glad everyone is well and doing good. Makes me smile. Take care of urself darlin', Peace @@kshavon3098
The whole album is great but Long Gone Day and Wake up are my favorites. There is Temple of the Dog too if you want to hear another supergroup from these 90s Seattle bands. Actually there is a new one right now too called 3rd Secret with Krist the bass player from Nirvana, Kim the guitar player from Soundgarden and the drummer from both Soundgarden/Pearl Jam. There is some really good modern Alice in Chains too since they got back together with William Duvall replacing Layne like Phantom Limb and Check my Brain. There is also Velvet Revolver which has Scott Weiland from Stone Temple Pilots on vocals and the rest of the band is basically Guns and Roses and there is Audioslave that has Chris Cornell on vocals and the rest of the band is from Rage Against the Machine.
This is so crazy😂 was gonna request for you to listen to Layne when he was singing for MAD SEASON... but wanted you to react to LONG, GONE DAY Live at The Moore (1995)... you have GOT to hear the saxophone in this song/performance... it's UNBELIEVABLE ❗❗❤️🎷❤️ The saxophonist's name im thinking is Skerik... Anyway .. this is my favorite Mad Season song!!! Love your channel so much❗❗❗✌️❤🎶
Layne wrote the lyrics to the entire album with the exception of one song where he had help from his best friend Mark Lanegan. You must listen to WAKE UP from this Album. It's also another great one and like a plea to himself to get straight. Also from AIC I recommend 'AGAIN' where Layne looks like a suited up superstar in the video. You'll like it. And LIVE AT THE MOORE 'It aint like that'
You should do themed video lists 70's, 80's , 90's etc, oh and start with STP Plush MTV unplugged for the 90's...I'm addicted, loved your Johnny Cash content@@kshavon3098
3:48 🤣🤣🤣 The lyrics seem weird with no context but how I see it is, if we choose to "pull off our skin and swim to shore", we can "grow a beautiful shell for all to see". The shell is our Inner self finally revealed. The true us. The us that lay waiting beneath the skin of deceit. The song is basically about his life that led him into his heroin abuse, and he's choosing to live a happy life and be himself rather than be a fake version to please others❤️
This song is about heroin addiction. To get a better context of the lyrics, do a google search of slang words for heroin and heroin use, and you will start to see a pattern, especially of what "river" (veins) means in light of what it means to Earth (life).
@@siftingzyes Layne and Baker died. So did Lanegan who collaborated with the band on a few of the songs. Mike Mccready was also in the band along with Barret Martin on drums. Matt Cameron was not the drummer.
You need to hear Mad Seaon live at the Moore. It’s better than the album. It’s friggin amazing. I’d definitely recommend Artificial Red, Long Gone Day. Omg you’d love it. He’s a vocal god!
you know he said he could either drown or cut off his skin and swim to shore then he can grow a beautiful shell for all to sea. you cut off music lyrics lady at the wrong times..............hello
No matter what kind of mood I’m in watching my girl always makes me smile 🖤thank you
THX BABE🙏🏾

I love this album. Layne and the band are perfect. So heartfelt and bittersweet.
This one is from his other band. So good. Wake up is also a great one
Wake up is my ring tone.
Thanks so much for another great reaction video! I look forward to seeing them! ❤️ God bless Layne Staley may he rest in peace 🕊️
UR SO WELCOME ♥️
You are not wasting anytime 👏👏👏love it!

This IS my most favorite song ever!!! It’s hard to explain the feeling. Kinda like a nostalgia and calmness when listening. 🤗

Thanks again for the great music you're playing, another great song! ❤ you still have to check out Grand Funk Railroad song I'm your captain 😘
UR WELCOME AND I GOTCHA ♥️😘
Oh you gotta check out long gone day.
You're reading my mind! Tnx! :)
🤣🤣THX BABE
You should definitely do artificial red or wake up... Layne had one of the most powerful voices in the rock and especially grunge genre
Girl! I know you a real Layne fan now ❤❤❤ you will looooveeee Artificial Red by mad season 😮💨 it’s deep, dark & sexy
THX BEAUTIFUL
@@kshavon3098 you’re welcome! Both the studio version & live at the Moore are 🔥
You are awesome, thanks for this!
😘🙏🏾
You should do themed video lists 70's, 80's , 90's etc, oh and start with STP Plush MTV unplugged for the 90's...I'm addicted, loved your Johnny Cash content@@kshavon3098
If you do anymore mad season, do the live at the moore versions. Layne has a totally different look n vibe.

LOL THX BABE FOR LETTING ME KNOW
Thank you...this one is special. The whole album is.
😘🙏🏾
One of my most favorite songs!
This song is about heroin addiction. To get a better context of the lyrics, do a google search of slang words for heroin and heroin use, and you will start to see a pattern, especially of what "river" (veins) means in light of what it means to Earth (life).
OOOO DAMN THX BABE
Please react to WAKE UP by the same band, MAD SEASON.
You gotta check live at the Moore the band sounds way better live! Long gone day, wake up, Lifeless dead
Great haunting song
Hey sugar, just stopped by to say hi 😉, hope you had a great Thanksgiving ❤
AWE THX BABE BUT NO I HAD TO WORK 🤣
@@kshavon3098 bummer☺️,
Have a good week 😉
Rip Layne Mark and John
who else was in the band? didn't know this many people passed :/
@@siftingz Duff McKagan Mike McCready and Barrett Martin... Matt Cameron I think was the drummer also
@@siftingzyes Layne and Baker died. So did Lanegan who collaborated with the band on a few of the songs. Mike Mccready was also in the band along with Barret Martin on drums. Matt Cameron was not the drummer.
@@melany5506 thanks for the correction
You definitely have to listen to lifeless dead by mad season live at the moore! great vocal performance.
This album is the one i want for my funeral.
You need to hear Mad Seaon live at the Moore. It’s better than the album. It’s friggin amazing. I’d definitely recommend Artificial Red, Long Gone Day. Omg you’d love it. He’s a vocal god!
Sadly Layne couldn't find the way away from his addiction.
Oh, do Wake Up next..... 😭
6:10🥰❤️
You really should check out Layne Staley's song Tell Me How To Love You, it's a good one
If I may suggest reacting to Will Ramos covering sleep token, doubt you'll be disappointed.
OK I WILL
Please do “Man who sold the world” by Nirvana! Its SO GOOD! Love your reactions
THX BABE I WILL BUT IT WILL BE A MINUTE GOTTA A LOT LINED UL FOR THIS WEEK
@@kshavon3098 cant wait! Thanks!!
