People always talk about Layne because he was the frontman but Jerry is the goat, god tier riff master and one of the best songwriters ever. This is the best album opener ever Imo.
Can never thank Rockstar Games and GTA San Andreas for introducing me to this song when I was a kid, and AIC as a whole. Still my favorite song by this amazing band. Layne was a fantastic singer
Firstly huge thanks to Be-Rad!!!I l'm so happy that they finally reacting to AIC! I don't like pink but Suzie 's hair awesome! About a song:IMO it's the best opening song really pumps up.And the guys outlook...I'm a girl so...love it. :D I don't know about guitar, I can't play,but this guitar solo sick and I don't heard sexiest solo like this.Jerry killed it! And my beloved Layne... like everytime, amazing.
Jerry Cantrell is a god, greatest album opener of all time for me, god tier songwriter. The opening track on the previous album “we die young” is glorious too. Man does not miss with his album openers
Layne was sure a fight attendant was flirting with him. She finally told him he had soup dripping on his little beard with beads. He told such funny stories in interviews.
Check out Heaven Beside Me and Check My Brain. The first one sung by Jerry Cantrell with Layne Staley on backing. The other by Cantrell with William DuVall on backing. Newer song but still AIC
Layne Staley is the best vocalist of my generation. He added the AH scream towards the end of the recording of this song. Told the engineer he heard something & wanted to add to it. Just brilliant.
Finallyyyy. I hope you guys check the other songs, but not those that everyone use for react. Under album song will be so dope. You leave the best for the end.
Guitarist Jerry Cantrell said he wrote THEM BONES about "mortality, that one of these days we'll end up a pile of bones." He told RIP magazine in 1993: "THEM BONES is pretty cut and dried. It's a little sarcastic, but it's pretty much about dealing with your mortality and life. Everybody's going to die someday. Instead of being afraid of it, that's the way it is: so enjoy the time you've got. Live as much as you can, have as much fun as possible. Face your fear and live. I had family members die at a fairly early age; so I've always had kind of a phobia about it. Death freaks me out. I think it freaks a lot of people out. It's the end of life, depending on your views. It's a pretty scary thing. THEM BONES is trying to put that thought to rest. Use what you have left, and use it well." The drummer is Sean Kinney. He developed the heavy kick-drum early on in AIC's formation and that heavy kick-drum is the foundation of the AIC sound. When Layne sang THEM BONES live, there were times he didn't do the 4 screams at the beginning but will do the screams in the middle. When they did their first KISS concert in Tiger Stadium in Detroit in 1996, Layne didn't do the first 4 screams... but the screams in the middle of the song.... it was the definition of screaming pain. Layne Staley's vocal range can run rings around any other grunge singer in my opinion. Layne could sing the phone book and never hit a wrong note. Even at the end of his life, with no teeth and a lisp, his voice, wit and humor were all still there. Layne's voice and vocal range was so powerful he did NOT need auto tune or pro-tools until he lost his teeth and had a lisp around 1998, and even then he still killed the vocals. Barrett Martin (who played with Layne in Mad Season) said that when he stood to the side of the stage, he could hear the sound of Layne's vocal resonance come out of Layne's body LOUDER than it did coming out of the speakers, Layne's voice was that powerful. Several years after Layne’s passing Barrett got a call from an old friend in Massachusetts who had a couple of young children. While on a family drive through the countryside, he was playing the Above album when the last song on the album, “All Alone,” came on. One of the little ones in the back seat asked if there were angels singing on the song, a question that he relayed to Barrett over the phone. “Yeah, he was a certain kind of angel,” Martin said, “a dark one perhaps, but an angel all the same.” Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine said Layne sang like an angry angel. Layne's story is more tragic and haunting because you can actually watch and hear him deteriorate over the 12-year span: from the mild use of drugs in 1990 all the way through 1996 when he was deep into a heroin addiction to dropping to 90 pounds by 1998 to 86 pounds when he died in 2002. Layne kept his humor and wit even to the end of his life. Layne was on this earth for 34 years. In that time he wrote songs that gave a normal person insight into the mind and journey of an addict. The pain and depression he endured to write the most brutally honest lyrics a musician could write concerning his feelings on his own addiction and the emotional and physical strength he had to perform those songs live when all he wanted to do was curl away and lose himself in the drug haze I can’t imagine what it was like for him. He was hounded by the press about his addiction. He was ridiculed for his addiction. The music industry blackballed him for his addiction. The Grammys forgot about him when he died. As far as MTV and Rolling Stone were concerned he’s just another addicted singer. They don’t want to acknowledge his contributions to music. I could say so much more, but in the end, it all boils down to: Layne Staley deserved better than what he received from the people around him who he thought mattered. He wrote about things with maturity and knowledge well beyond his years. He didn’t deserve to be turned into tabloid cannon fodder by the press.
A great way to start an epic CD... Similar to Led Zeppelin IV, with Black Dog... A release from a different era that carries the same weight of my fave from my Era... This one🥰
One quick interesting fact about Poltergeist is that skeletons in the water at the end were 100÷ real, not props. The producers didn't tell the actors before hand. It was just after this that the weird sh*t started happening on set leading to the legend of the curse that followed the franchise.
One of the most memorable AIC songs. Dirt is a fantastic album.
Couldn’t agree more. One of the best grunge albums ever released
Through and through.
@@AgentBeans those were the days. ✌🏼
Argueably the best Grunge album of all time. And I know Nevermind, Ten, Vs, Superunknown ....
Jerry Cantrell is one of my fav guitarrists ever. His taste is just so on point.
One of the best songwriters ever
Why doesn't anybody talk more about one of the greatest songs and riffs written in the 90s?
People always talk about Layne because he was the frontman but Jerry is the goat, god tier riff master and one of the best songwriters ever. This is the best album opener ever Imo.
Jerry's solo here is incredible. One of my all time favorites!
Alice In Chains. Love Hate Love. Live at the Moore. Layne Staley out of the stratosphere vocals
They reacted to it last week.
That whole show, unbelievable! But Love, Hate, Love... his vocals just kill me💙
This is one of THE greatest bands of all-time. You guys need a few more on here, keep it up! 😎
Staley, Cornell and weiland to me are my fav front men/vocalists...clearly I'm biased towards the grunge era.....and Jerry Cantrell is a MONSTER
Layne Staley.. it's one unique voice 👌 Tx God for this beloved Man 🤟RIP Layne ans TX from Québec Canada 🇨🇦
Jerry Cantrell is a beast with awesome guitar riffs.
Can never thank Rockstar Games and GTA San Andreas for introducing me to this song when I was a kid, and AIC as a whole. Still my favorite song by this amazing band. Layne was a fantastic singer
I knew I've heard it somewhere before!! Thanks man you unlocked some childhood memories of using the flying car cheat and having this song come on
I love alice in chains! I suggest you react to Alice in Chains Junkhead Live performance at the "singles" release party,
What a great song by Alice in Chains. I used to play this song on replay when it first came out it was so good.
RIP Laine Staley and Mikey Starr
I think y’all would love “Down in a hole” MTV Unplugged live version it’s one of their best performances👍🏼
You guys should do “it ain’t like that” next, probably one of my favorite AIC songs
A treat for the ears this song is shaking hands with ❤️ and soul love that 😊😊
How did they do this ?……Everything you want in a rock song in 2:30 !……Genius !
The song should have been called: Them Riffs!
If you guys are going to check out another AIC song, I'd highly suggest Sickman off this same album. One of their best songs.
Firstly huge thanks to Be-Rad!!!I l'm so happy that they finally reacting to AIC!
I don't like pink but Suzie 's hair awesome!
About a song:IMO it's the best opening song really pumps up.And the guys outlook...I'm a girl so...love it. :D
I don't know about guitar, I can't play,but this guitar solo sick and I don't heard sexiest solo like this.Jerry killed it!
And my beloved Layne... like everytime, amazing.
Greatness! 😎

No such thing as more AIC. Keep it up!
Old school 90's grudge! Surprise the hunter crew had just reacted to this a month back. Awesome! 🎸⚡⚡⚡
Layne Staley is the best vocalist of my generation. He added the AH scream towards the end of the recording of this song. Told the engineer he heard something & wanted to add to it. Just brilliant.
Love this song and the braided beard, I don’t recall seeing it again after this video.
Wow!!! Hair and headphones are fire!!!
Finallyyyy. I hope you guys check the other songs, but not those that everyone use for react. Under album song will be so dope. You leave the best for the end.

Listen to Rain When I die....so good and so dark!

was in the top 0.05% of alice in chains listeners on spotify last year, so i know my aic lol, my #1 song by them was “put you down”. pls check it out
It was one guitar. Jerry Cantrell switched the pickup on his guitar to change the tone. (I’m assuming)
It's funny to realize this is classic rock for people now.
Grind or Dirt next. Awesome band of mostly negative subjects. Love 'em.
A great way to start an epic CD... Similar to Led Zeppelin IV, with Black Dog... A release from a different era that carries the same weight of my fave from my Era... This one🥰
Super!!!!
🤘🤘🤘 VOB ( voice of baceprot ) NOT PUBLIC PROPERTY from indonesia.. thanks brother,, for reaction.. 👍
The creepy Actor in poltergeist two, was actually dying from stomach cancer while they film the movie.
One quick interesting fact about Poltergeist is that skeletons in the water at the end were 100÷ real, not props. The producers didn't tell the actors before hand. It was just after this that the weird sh*t started happening on set leading to the legend of the curse that followed the franchise.
Tune 👍👍 have this on 7 inch
Jerry Cantrell. The best guitarist around!! In fact he's still rocking it!!
