what a performance. they were in their absolute prime. the vocal inflections, vibrato, the harmony, the energy, the crowd. undeniable greats of their era.
Layne had it all - he could swoon & swagger you in one sentence whilst reach in and pull the dirtiest, grittiest anger from deep within the gut in the next. Cotton candy and razor blades…
One of the things I find overlooked about Alice in Chains is that they were one of the only bands of this era of music that HARMONIZED. Jerry and Layne killed it here!
@@BrandonHeilBHB Dave and Kurt were really good harmonizing but pretty much nobody notice that. Beside they used it almost exclusively in studio. AIC on the other hand were pretty disciplined to do it all the time.
its the way they harmonized, and choice of note sung to harmonize, and how much they did that stood them apart. it was a focal point, not an afterthought, or for the sake of it. the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, something new is created, a new voice. It defo set them apart! 😜🎶👍 Nirvana did great pop harmonies, subtle sometimes. Nothing was subtle about AIC. And the contrast of Jerry's smooth voice with Laynes southern drawl gruffness at times, that created that magical tone together. Jerrys voice really lent itself well as a 2nd part harmoniser.
I consider them the greatest band out of that era/time...Seattle grunge scene etc. They're just different from the other bands and there's soooo many great bands from then. AIC is my favorite band anyway, generally speaking. I dont really consider them grunge. They are definitely "grungy" but I like how Jerry himself described their sound: "We're like a heavy, bluesy rock band ...."essentially. I dunno Layne is the fucking shit and Alice in fucking Chains are the shit.
BC: before cellphones too. But even stuff like the bits from MTV are all degraded and fuzzy. They just NEVER got the props they deserved from beginning to end. From the guy at the Rocket, who hated them, and so never put anything in the Rocket about them, to the Grammys, who _completely forgot_ Layne in their "those we lost" presentation, it seems they could never catch a break. So thankful to Cameron Crowe for this movie that highlights them!
nirvana changed my life, got me into AIC, who showed me how to sing and play. Both jerry and layne are my 2 biggest influencers. I don't listen to nirvana anymore, not really,. Its 2020 and still rockin' Dirt/Jar of flies. ... and rediscovering Grind, its even better than i 1st realised!!! but there's no one and nothing like Dirt, what an album!
I read the David De Sola AIC book. In it, it’s described how Cameron Crowe told them all to shake their heads around a lot for this shoot and the band loved the idea and really played it up.
@@huntergeorge3909 grunge isnt even a genre of music, there is no sound that sounds the same when it comes to grunge because all the grunge bands sounded different. they’re only called grunge cause they all came out of the grunge scene during that era.
This is one of those songs where the live version is even better than the studio version! The energy this song has is phenomenal. If only I wasn't a toddler during this era and could actually witness this! However I do love Alice in Chains today very much ❤
Agreed! Lol def born in the wrong generation..and this version blows the recorded one out of the water .. this,bleed the freak live,junk head and love hate love are the best live performances iv ever seen.
I just learned that Alice In Chains refused to play this song prerecorded in the movie. So this was them playing live in the Movie ! Very cool! I bet they were rad to see live!
I usually hate the cliché "This should have more views" comment but.............this should have more than 150k views. Basically a flawless performance of a badass song
@@vvfdgvvcc I 'm just keepin it real. I can't explain it. I want to time travel back to the past and dive on the stage and jump them both! They are definitely the inspiration for my threesome fantasies,lol.
I heard a story where during the filming of this scene - which took all day - Director Cameron Crowe suggested that Mike, Layne, and Jerry shake their heads/hair around in an exaggerated manner, more so than they usually did. They did it, loved it, thought it was hilarious, and made it a permanent thing. I always think of that when I see this video, and it makes me smile.
It's just got that nasty riff and amazing tone for just chugging. It's a simple recipe that not many can do well enough. Crazy specific AIC sound. Dark, heavy and soft all at the same time.
@@anthropicPanda yeah, it's so simple and nasty at the same time... I absolutely love it! In this live version for the movie "Singles", the guitar tone is so so fucking more aggressive and the slightly faster rythm overall make it better than the studio version. Oh, and Jerry Cantrell's headbanging is the best i've ever seen. Even that helps to get you into the song.
Think this live performance has to be one of the most underrated live performances I’ve ever watched on here. Can’t believe this performance never got millions of views, the notes Layne hits with the energy Jerry on lead guitar with the great solo mike start on bass and Sean on drums. Never seen such chemistry in a live performance. Nirvana, Soundgarden, pearl Jam in my opinion don’t hold a candle to these guys live performing. It’s legendary at its finest. Never be anyone like Layne. The Michael Jordan of grunge. Such a talent that was wasted fare to early. Rest easy Layne and mike.
@@SoftDrinksOfChoice that’s who they were grunge bands. Name me a song Kurt wrote that Layne never matched. Layne will live on as the best lead man of the 90s. Don’t get me wrong Kurt was good as well. But AIC killed everything they wrote.
And your saying AIC never played good live. Common man. Kurt couldn’t carry a not compared to Layne. Layne was just as good live as Kurt as the music they wrote.
They reportedly re-recorded the audio after four or five live takes. So the audio, in essence, is them performing the song for the fifth time that day, laid over the earlier stage video. Even more impressive they had that much aural energy left at that point. This is obviously AiC in it's prime.
The intricate harmonies of AIC are honestly what set this band apart for me from other grunge bands and even bands today. Yes, many bands harmonize. Not many use minor thirds or major 4ths the way AIC did (and the new lineup in the band caries the tradition with song writing and performing, in recent years). The tempo in the chorus, transitions, solos, everything. Their style, passion, talent and soul set them apart.
There I was, laid out on a table Screamin', sweat and bare feet to the floor In my life, I'd not soften Things that cut and burn so often But I sit, think of somethin' Scared to face the dyin' nothin' See the cycle I've waited for It ain't like that anymore Where I go is when I feel I'm able How I fight is why I'm feelin' sore In my mind, not forgotten Feel as though a tooth were rotten Behind the smile a tongue that's slippin' Buzzards cry when flesh is rippin' See the cycle I've waited for It ain't like that anymore Here I sit, writing on the paper Tryin' to think of words you can't ignore In my eyes, what I'm lackin' Score at face, a ten for slackin' Sign the deal, set in motion Smaller fish, so huge the ocean See the cycle I've waited for It ain't like that anymore See the cycle I've waited for It ain't like that anymore
This song gives me full body chills every single time. It's Jerry and Layne's voices totally bring it out with that baseline. It's pretty much as perfect as a song can get.
Never knew this clip existed. In the movie (I have it on DVD), it's much shorter and interrupted by dialogue and shots of the actors. Thanks for uploading it!
A truly satisfying butcher's OST here. The intro where I am sharpening my knives. That first "Yeah!" when I do my first cut. Then, the grinding of the guitars when I move on to shredding all the meat flesh! So ASMR!
You have Nirvana fans, Pearl Jam fans, Soundgarden, the greatest bands ever. But for me in the early 90's, the epitome of Seattle grunge rock, down and dirty in your face, the raw and nasty sound of none other than the bad boys of Seattle, Alice in Chains, unequaled and unrivaled to this day.
Had to hear it this morning. So glad I came across this live version. Even better than the album. What a fantastic band, stunningly underrated drummer, intense live version AND just cannot beat those vocals. And the feeling put into every millisecond of this song. Fantastic art that shines with intensity, compelling, and lasting since the day it was made far into the future.
Like I heard Laynes dad say recently. "Someone out there is putting on Alice for the first time and it will rock them just as hard as the first day they put it out . Alice in chains is truly Evergreen..."
This is the best live performance of a song i have ever seen, so powerful with beautiful harmonies . First time viewing this but definitely not the last.

I love this because Layne is having a seriously GOOD time,and Mike Starr just clicks right with Sean! 1st time I ever heard "We Die Young" it was like FFS This is really more than very damn good,our Drummer Gerard totally nailed that I was super super into it,after never ever hearing it before.
We Die Young was the first Alice in Chains song I ever heard, on a local college radio station (KSYM 90.1 San Antonio) in 1990, and I was immediately hooked, buying Facelift on cassette soon after. Several months later Man in the Box became a huge hit and the band went from obscure to popular overnight.
"It ain't like that" live at the Moore was great but this live performance of "It ain't like that" is the best performance of this kick ass jam I've ever seen!!
Before my dad passed alice in chains was playing on the tv I said whos that , he responded, i think thats alice in chains Ever since i fell in love with the band . These guys have been helping me with my severe depression because my dad passed away last year . Thank you guys .
My dad passed away in January this year. He introduced me to AiC and all the other great alt bands of the late 80s-early 90s. He's the reason I picked up a guitar cause I wanted to play Rusty Cage, Rooster, Even Flow, etc. I'm right there with you man. It hurts, depression hit me hard and still going this year.
30 years ago… It’s still great for me. The band had tremendous energy. Thank you, Cameron Crowe. If what you see is the truth of this world, how wonderful would this world be?

I love how Layne moved like an evil, slithery serpent but sang like an angel. No one will ever come close to matching this man’s badassery
Layne had it all - he could swoon & swagger you in one sentence whilst reach in and pull the dirtiest, grittiest anger from deep within the gut in the next.
Cotton candy and razor blades…
His movements are close to Axl's. I miss Layne like hell...
I couldn't agree with you more!!

I wonder if the crowd that night realized that they saw what is possibly the greatest musical performance ever recorded
Fun fact once your hear this version you can't go back to the original
Once you hear live AIC there’s no going back.

Watch Live at the Moore 1990; this version doesn't even compare.
It's true! I'm hooked and experience withdrawal when I don't get to hear it

Sounds fucking incredible. That is a heavy fucking riff, such an underated tune.

There's a lot of professional recordings from other bands in that same era

Needs to be remastered
It is a true crime how massively underrated AIC is. they are the true Rock Superstars of the 90s. they should be as big as Nirvana or even bigger.
Peter Griffin • 100 years ago They were number one, imo!
Nirvana sucks!!!! Play AIC Dirt then play Nirvana Nevermind. Dirt blows that shit away.

Beautiful Layne-so talented
I can't stand how perfect their performances were, I can't distinguish between this and the studio version
almost every day I go to work in the car I put this song as loud as I can. I feel Crazy And so excited to go to work
The harmonizing, Jesus Christ!!! Just beautiful.
Happy Birthday Facelift. 30 years! Rest up Blanche and Starr. We love you! ...
"It ain't like that" live at the Moore was great but this live performance of "It ain't like that" is the best performance of this kick ass jam I've ever seen!!
They were the only band that time wherein all the members were handsome
Gay
RIGHT
ABSOLUTELY! ORGY WITH THE BAND? YOU BET YOUR ASS!🤣
@@chrisnshellypalmer7384 😆😆
Omg right
So breathtakingly amazing to see Layne so full of life and energy compared to 5 years later.
Best of the grunge bands era and one of the greatest of all time
Damn! This is the true gem of facelift!!
Seeing them live was one of the most exhilarating things in my life. Unforgettable!
Happy Birthday Layne. You are missed every single day.
Can u even imagine what it musta felt like to walk into a Seattle club late 80s and this epicness is happening in front of you?
90's I think
@@aspjake123it started in the late 80's. Even Alice and their older version
@@DominiAeternumforsure but this was definitely the 90’s
Blows me away every time
There is someone more powerful than Layne with dreadlocks?
Jerry’s headbanging is signature and mikes spinning and stomping and stage presence is signature
And laynes voice is his signature.
thank God someone captured this gem , what a great live performance by a legendary rock band :)
4:19 - 4:26 are what all fantasies are made of (Layne looks good through the whole video, hence it's my favorite, but that time stamp works for me!
Before my dad passed alice in chains was playing on the tv
I said whos that , he responded, i think thats alice in chains
Ever since i fell in love with the band . These guys have been helping me with my severe depression because my dad passed away last year .
Thank you guys .
Hope you're doing better now. It's always hard to cope with the loss of someone so close. I'm sorry for your loss.
My dad passed away in January this year. He introduced me to AiC and all the other great alt bands of the late 80s-early 90s. He's the reason I picked up a guitar cause I wanted to play Rusty Cage, Rooster, Even Flow, etc. I'm right there with you man. It hurts, depression hit me hard and still going this year.
I lost my Dad when i was 8 years old. I’m 47 now, but AIC helped me through a lot of tough times. Hope you are doing well.
Probably one of the most unique bands I have listened to.
30 years ago… It’s still great for me. The band had tremendous energy. Thank you, Cameron Crowe. If what you see is the truth of this world, how wonderful would this world be?
If I could like this a 1000 times I would! Epic song and epic band! Man, I miss Layne such a great lead singer! 🤟
jeasus h christ.... can they play any better live? I don't think so. AIC was flawless. Perfect tempo perfect changes
shake your head like layne in this performance
