They still perform 30+ years later and are popular... but it's just not the same without Layne. He was different.

alice in chains - unplugged.....one of the best performances ever. Sooo heart wrenching that Layne is nothing like his normal self anymore and i believe was his last performance...but he did himself and band justice. Hopefully heaven is worth of his talent. rocking out and turning it on its head.

Thank you for that, you brought it back to me. Ive loved AIC so much down through the years. Incredible voice that can never be recreated.

Yall are great! loved the reaction. I laugh everytime I see layne sing the chorus of this song cause idk how a human can be that powerful, and still be perfectly on pitch. lol its insane. Another one from this concert with great vocals is "Bleed The Freak". Also "Alice In Chains - Would? [Singles Pro Shot]" is one of their best live performances of one of their biggest hits.

Never saw this version of the song before. Vocals are some of the best I've heard from him ! Check out DOWN IN A HOLE . Its a whole mood.

Most sincere and cutest reaction ever !

The whole show (live at the Moore) is awesome.....really worth checking it out even the songs that aren't as popular shows off Layne's voice ability. And, agree with choices from BMC 1982 below.

Fun reaction. Cool that you saw the original before the Tatiana+Suicide Silence cover. Cheers!

Layne was just....I don't even know what to say...beyond words. He will never be topped. 💔💘

They are still performing- with Cantrell, the guitartist taking more of the role as the singer. They still miss Layne to this day. Watch the trubute show to them where they got awarded by Seattle Pop Icons.

Great reaction! You guys should react to "Bleed the freak" live at the moore theater, but also some of their music videos like "Would", "Rooster" and "Them Bones". Sadly the original singer and bass player both died of drug over doses, but they are still going with a newer singer and bass player. For their material with the new singer id recommend reacting to the music video for "phantom limb".

Lane is even more impressive during this live performance, even though he is powerful in the recorded version as well.

Alice in Chains is the best. Such beautiful harmonies

They still are making music. Check out their most recent album Rainier Fog, "The one you know" very good.

The original singer died quite a few years ago. But Alice in Chains did get another singer. New singer is William Duvall and they put out an album Black Gives Way to Blue. Although most didn't like the new singer, I thought he was quite good on the album Black Gives Way to Blue. Give it a listen and decide for yourself.

Their most amazing song has to be Nutshell, check it out! There is also a live version on MTV Unplugged (that whole performance is mindblowing :)!). Some other songs are Rooster, Down in a Hole and Would. Enjoy :)

I'd be very interested in YALL'S reaction to NO EXCUSES, it's nearly the whole song of the 2 guys harmonizing together/ with each other, SOMETHING that you only ever heard ALICE IN CHAINS doing.

Trust me if you like Alice in Chains you have to react to Down in a Hole Also.......Rain when I Die Do Down ina hole though you will love it!

Good Lord I'm old.

Mike Starr, the bass player in this clip also passed away after drug addiction.

You should check out Frogs from their Unplugged. Nutshell as well. They're harmonizing is so good! You're Decision with the new singer is really good..

You guys should watch the 90s movie Singles sometime. It has some short performance scenes of Alice in Chain and Soundgarden playing in a small Seattle club. And the members of Pearl Jam play the roles of band members for one of the main characters (Matt Dillon). It's a must see for any fan of grunge.

This song's origins start with a lunch the band had with some A&R woman who was a vegan (no animal byproducts of ANY kind), who proceeded to tell them how animals were penned up in small crates and killed for steak, etc. So, Layne wrote Man in the Box from the perspective of a penned up calf. It was loosely based around Layne's idea of media censorship. Sean Kinney (the drummer) said it was about veal. LOL. The version you chose was Live at the Moore filmed on December 22, 1990. The concert became Live Facelift that was released in 1991 on a very rare VHS that costs 75.00 last I checked. The VHS included MAN IN THE BOX, REAL THING, LOVE HATE LOVE (which is UNTOUCHABLE PERFECTION played live by a rock band), SEA OF SORROW, BLEED THE FREAK all live from The Moore 1990, as well as official videos for WE DIE YOUNG, MAN IN THE BOX, and SEA OF SORROW. Layne met Jerry Cantrell ONE TIME, found out he had no family in the area, he had little money left and Layne (drunkenly) offered Jerry a place to live, money, food, clothes, guitars and gear he needed, Layne set Jerry up with a life that could NOT fail unless Jerry let it happen. He set him up with a band when he gave Jerry the number to Sean Kinney's girlfriend and found out that the girlfriend was Mike Starr's sister. He encouraged Jerry to sing more because after all they were Jerry's lyrics, Jerry should sing them. I'm sure Jerry would have made it on his own without Layne, but it would have been the long scenic route to get there. Jerry wrote Rooster about his father's experiences in Vietnam and when Jerry saw his dad in the audience at one of their shows, Jerry asked Layne (and the guys) to play Rooster and they did. It was the first time Jerry's dad heard Jerry's music and knew that his son understood him through that song. It brought Jerry and his dad closer together. And Layne had a vital part in that reunion. (Meanwhile Layne's own biological father was an opportunist who showed back up in Layne's life AFTER Layne got famous and had money and did drugs with Layne.) Phil Staley was NOT the father Layne expected when he came back into his life. Layne had tried rehab 13 times, but he could never completely give it up. He tried quitting cold turkey on two of the last attempts at rehab, but that didn't work either. Mad Season is made up of Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, Barrett Martin of Screaming Trees and John Baker Saunders and they all went through rehab. They all got together and dragged Layne out of his condo, got him excited about doing ABOVE album, thinking if he was creative he wouldn't want the drugs, and for the length of time it took to do that, Layne was excited about the project, but it didn't curb his drug habit. Layne wrote the lyrics to the songs he sang on the ABOVE album and he drew the cover art for the album. Layne was an amazing singer. Very few singers sound better live than they do in a studio version. Layne was one of the few. From what I’ve read and researched, heroin is the worst drug to be addicted to. You don’t want to do anything other than be there and nodding out. The fact that he agreed to do the KISS shows and performed them like he did shows the strength he had. From what I read, when you have the level of addiction Layne had, it is incredibly difficult to function at the intensity of performing a stage show in front of an audience as well as he did. He could have stayed home and stayed high, but Jerry wanted to do the shows. Somewhere, somehow Layne found the strength to do those shows despite what his addiction wanted him to do even though he survived an overdose after the last KISS show in Kansas City, Missouri, became a recluse, and the addiction got him in the end. Mike Starr was the last one to see him on April 4, 2002, for all anyone knows and what I took from that was that while Layne was telling Mike that he (Layne) was sick, he still tried to get Mike to give up his own prescription drug habit. After that, no one noticed he had died because he never answered the phone nor opened the door. It took inactivity over the span of two weeks for his ACCOUNTANT to notice something was wrong and called Susan Silver who called Layne's mother to alert her to the situation who then called 911. He died on April 5, 2002, but his body wasn't discovered until April 19, 2002. And to pour salt in the wound, MTV (and the music industry) has more or less blackballed Layne (and yet, they laud over Kurt Cobain every April 5th, because Kurt was the "face of grunge", meanwhile Layne gets a "by the way"). The Grammys went so far as to invite Jerry, Mike and Sean to the Grammy show in 2003 and then refused to put Layne's picture up in the memorial of the musicians who died in 2002. (Or they "forgot" to) which pissed Jerry, Mike and Sean off and they walked out on the show. At the age of 34 (when he died), he looked more like an 80-year-old man. He knew he screwed up, between the drugs and his own depression and then his former fiancee dying, Layne just couldn't find a way to dig himself out of his own mess and at the end with his teeth problems and organs failing on him, he gave up trying. He lost sight of who his true friends were and who was using him. He was never going to give up the drugs. Instead, he tried to attain the same high he felt the first time he did drugs and could never achieve it. 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 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. 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. Layne was so much more than his drug addiction. He was able to come up with lyrics and harmonies off the top of his head. He stacked his own vocals. He knew enough to know that Jerry Cantrell was playing with the wrong people and gave him contact info for Sean Kinney and Mike Starr. He wrote the lyrics for the songs he sang on Mad Season's Above album and drew the cover art for that album. Layne was a genius in his own right. He still was able to figure things out in a snap off the top of his head. Layne just had his demons. Layne's whole situation from his drug addiction, to how he died, to how he was found only weighing 86 pounds and the drug paraphernalia, etc is tragic and haunts me when I think about it (and I didn't even know the guy personally). "Whatever dramas are going on in my life, I always find that place inside my head where I see myself as the cleanest, tallest, strongest, wisest person that I can be." -- Layne Staley "My bad habits aren't my title. My strengths and my talent are my title." -- Layne Staley "When I tried drugs they were fucking great, and they worked for me for years, and now they're turning against me- and now I'm walking through hell and this sucks. I wrote about drugs, and I didn't think I was being unsafe or careless by writing about them. I didn't want my fans to think heroin was cool. But then I've had fans come up to me and give me the thumbs up, telling me they're high. That's exactly what I didn't want to happen." -- Layne Staley
