LOVE HATE LOVE live at the Moore December 22, 1990, is LAYNE STALEY in his prime and UNTOUCHABLE PERFECTION. All other bands should strive to have a live performance this perfect. Layne is better live than studio version. One of the very few singers who are better live. The entire Live at the Moore concert from December 22, 1990 was turned into a live vinyl album and VHS called Live Facelift. It cost about 75.00USD last I checked. The VHS has live concert footage from December 22, 1990 of: MAN IN THE BOX, REAL THING, LOVE HATE LOVE, SEA OF SORROW, BLEED THE FREAK, bonus footage of IT AIN'T LIKE THAT live and official videos for WE DIE YOUNG, MAN IN THE BOX and SEA OF SORROW. Jerry Cantrell is the guitar player. He's a certified Riff Lord. He respects any musician who KNOWS their instrument. Layne wrote the song about his tumultuous relationship with Demri Parrott (pronounced Per-roh). There was cheating on both sides. Listen to the song from the mindset of a sociopath. How many times did Layne come back home from being on tour to find another guy just so smitten-puppy love-tattoo-you-on-my-chest in love with Demri at first sight. But the Demri fans think Layne should have lain down and taken that because he deserved it for screwing groupies on the road? There a few stories of her on the road with him where the first thing she thought of was scoring junk before anything else. I've come to the conclusion that apparently to Demri fans the Layne/Demri relationship is a sacred, hollowed relationship and NO ONE is allowed to side with him against her for what she did to him with the drugs and cheating on him, but he was lower than a snake for what he did to her with the drugs and cheating on her. She was so independent, she DID NOT even want to be recognized as his girlfriend (God-forbid that ever happen). Even though the second he told her he wouldn't get her any more drugs, she just turned around and shacked up with the next guy who would do what she wanted. Her family called Layne back home from GERMANY where he was on tour for a damn intervention with her. Layne never thought interventions worked, but he did it for her. There was one instance where Layne sent her out for coke or something, and she came back with heroin. Hell, it wasn't like Demri was headed for a life in a convent when she met Layne and on the day she was to take her holy orders, Layne corrupted her. She already knew how to get drugs when they met. Layne could have wished upon a star a million times over that she would have married him, but she wasn't going to give up the drugs any more than Layne would have, so there was no way in hell she was marrying him. She had such a feminist independent streak. When they were making the SEA OF SORROW video, the girlfriends were all invited down to participate in the video. Every girlfriend showed up EXCEPT Demri. She didn't even show up to support him let alone be in the video. Discussing the title track "DIRT", Cantrell stated that "the words Layne put to it were so heavy, I've never given him something and not thought it was gonna be the most bad-assed thing I was going to hear." Staley said he wrote the song "to a certain person (Demri) who basically buried my ass". In an interview with the Canadian magazine M.E.A.T. in December 1992, Layne Staley said about the Dirt album cover: "This album cover... I like to refer to it as "revenge". The woman on the album cover is kinda the portrayal of that person being sucked down into the dirt (laughs), instead of me. The picture is the spitting image of her, and that wasn't even planned. Actually, I was pretty angry about it when I first saw it - she's not happy about it either (laughs). It was real eerie. The girl on the album cover is really Mariah O'Brien NOT Demri. She had two heart surgeries that Layne paid for and two lung surgeries (that Layne also paid for) all stemming from endocarditis that she contracted through intravenous drug use. She passed away on October 28, 1996, from a bacterial infection that was a complication from the last overdose she had. Even though they had broken up for good by 1994, he still loved her and she was still hanging around in 1995 and 1996 before she hooked up with someone else a few months before her death. Demri’s death devastated Layne. A few months later, Layne asked her mother for the teddy bear Demri had with her in the hospital and a few other things. It took another few weeks and an accidental meeting on a busy street to exchange the items. The consensus was that Layne never got over Demri’s death. He used her death as the catalyst to go into a drug-induced tailspin in which he would take his addiction to lengths few could imagine or sustain. (This is coming from a Layne fan who was NEVER a fan of Demri and the many times she strung him along)
I've had a very strong affinity for grunge for a long time. And the lyrics like down in a hole, man in the box and others yes, they are all indeed names of their songs so, you did well.
Really enjoyed your unhurried reaction to this great performance - and the birds in the background too. Lots of good songs to hear from AIC, but as some others have said, Would, and Rain When I Die are great. Also the reviewers' favorite Nutshell unplugged performance; Bleed the Freak; and I Stay Away are must-listen.
I didn't even start the song, as soon as you said your mic cord fell out I thought "good maybe she'll listen to the whole song before she interrupts it then comments after it's done".
As a woman you probably will never understand what you do to us guys. You can love someone so much and not be able to share a room together let alone a life. It is the duality of love and hate.
My altimeter favorite singer. Your brother had real taste!! Kudos!

This song was about Layne Staley's rough relationship with his fiance, Demri Perrott. It was a love, hate, love relationship.
She had heart problems and left him……she later died.
Good morning from New England..This song was at the end of their tour for their first album FACELIFT...THIS IS LAYNE AT HIS PEAK 👍🤘✌️
Hello from New England as well ☺️
Alice in Chains - Rain When I Die
He felt her beauty was stopping her from being who she really was.
That's some deep dark stuff man this kicks ass that live to no auto tune there more metal to me then grunge
I've had a very strong affinity for grunge for a long time. And the lyrics like down in a hole, man in the box and others yes, they are all indeed names of their songs so, you did well.
Try Man In the Box from this concert. Beast mode level
Really enjoyed your unhurried reaction to this great performance - and the birds in the background too. Lots of good songs to hear from AIC, but as some others have said, Would, and Rain When I Die are great. Also the reviewers' favorite Nutshell unplugged performance; Bleed the Freak; and I Stay Away are must-listen.
The "look at the eyes" part immediately made me think of TOOL "Sober" live pro shot (remastered) version... it's beautiful but 😢
Alice in Chains - Would
I didn't even start the song, as soon as you said your mic cord fell out I thought "good maybe she'll listen to the whole song before she interrupts it then comments after it's done".
lol Layne is not little he’s over 6 feet… dope reaction 🔥
She was probably talking about his weight, but I don't know.
@@user-ny3bs6us1byeah probably he was skinny
Samurai pizza cats with nicko is a banger
As a woman you probably will never understand what you do to us guys. You can love someone so much and not be able to share a room together let alone a life. It is the duality of love and hate.
That happens when the relationship is toxic.
I think that the song is about his addiction to heroin
No, it was written about his girlfriend Demri
