    These riffs mean more to me than sweep picking , blazing fast arpeggios ever will. I didn't realize how much Cantrell influenced my own playing until I started re-listening to AIC recently. They were a sound and a band that completely floored me. Jerry's monster tone and dirty blues, Laynes unreal vocals, Mike Starr's huge bass, and Sean Kinney's versatility and might. They were dark, but so vulnerable and human.

  • @dangiampietro6606
    @dangiampietro6606 Год назад +6

    Of all the post Staley era drop-tuned songs, "A looking in view" I feel is a truly overlooked gem. TONS of killer riffs, and some of the best "tag team" style vocals between Cantrell and Duvall. Definitely worth revisiting if it didn't capture you the first time.

    Definitely more Alice In Chains please! We Die Young is one of the most badass opening songs on any album...that riff and tone and all of it is on fire. Black Gives Way To Blue is definitely an underappreciated album too. Great video!

    @poli.f.0nia Год назад

    Great video man! Love the casual, down to earth tone, like you're talking to friends about music, which is exactly what you're doing! But most tutorial content on YT doesn't feel like that. Just one comment, that chord on "Them Bones" is not a dominant chord, it's just a Dm7, the notes added to the power chord are just C (the 7th) and F (the third) the third at the top sure does make it sound like something else since it's so bluesy haha.

    Good to see at least one track from the albums released after Layne passed being covered, but there needs to be far more of it. The riffs from ‘Black Gives Way to Blue’, ‘The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here’, and ‘Rainier Fog’ are just as good as the earlier work, but don’t get the love - odd, given the same guy wrote them. Bring ‘em on, let’s see what can be done with them.
