I was 14 when this album came out. My brother was the one who brought the music home. He would play random songs from AiC, STP, Pearl Jam, NIN all day long. I would sleep with this music playing during the day, and it would find its way into my dreams. I'm now 2 months away from 38, my brother served 12 years in the Air Force and passed away in 2014, mother died of a broken heart 2 days after valentines day in 2017 and every time I hear music of that time, of those years, I feel that any moment, I'm going to wake up from this nightmare of a life.

I might be in the minority here but jar of flies is my favorite album! I love that more stripped down, acoustic approach. Loved the older, heavy crunchy stuff too, don't get me wrong! but I just love jar of flies so much, and of course their MTV unplugged show... I still respect the hell out of Jerry Cantrell for continuing on, and he is in my opinion LARGELY overlooked and underrated as a musician, a singer, and a songwriter.. I respect him for keeping on, and that new singer is very talented, breathes new life into the band.. but damn it all I wish Layne would have gotten help, got his shit together, and LIVED!! kept making music... I didn't get into Alice in Chains until somewhat recently, as an adult. I was a kid in the early 90s. I remember something my dad said about when Kurt Cobain died. My dad was old school, not much of a rocker, more into old country like Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and what not. Well when he saw nirvana's unplugged, Kurt's rendition of "in the pines" he was extremely impressed. And that's when he realized like okay this dude's legit. It's not just yelling and screaming and noise lol nirvana's unplugged made a believer out of my dad because he immediately recognized the artistry, the musicianship involved... He said something after Kurt died about damn just imagine how much great music he COULD have kept making, had he lived. My dad thought they might have CONTINUED that unplugged stripped down approach.. Well anyhow, talking about nirvana on an Alice in Chains video! Sorry lol I said all that to say THIS though: The way my dad felt about Kurt is kinda how I feel about Layne; I feel like if Layne had lived and they continued the band, Layne probably would have made more stuff similar to unplugged and jar of flies... Sad what happened to both those guys, RIP kurt and layne both ✌️✌️✌️

I was 16 in 1994 when this released and what a perfect age to be musically conscious. My dad played the old motown stuff, being raised on the classics like zeppelin, Jethro tull, Nazareth, the Beatles and stones, the who and having classic rock and motown on the radio growing up, then coming into my own music consciousness with Metallica, pantera, all those 80's bands and even the great voices of people like Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson on the radio, then BAM, the grunge movement out of Seattle hits and changes my life forever. Not to mention the Golden age of hip hop and RnB with 2pac, biggie and all the rest. I fear we may never see artists of today hit that kind of vein that bands like Alice in Chains did. But I'm happy i was a part of all this greatness. And I'll always be able to go back and listen with gratitude for what a profoundly inspired zenith of musical creativity it was.

Fun fact: the jar of flies is a representation of an experiment that is done with two jars of flies. One jar is overfed and the other is underfed; the overfed jar reproduces at an alarming rate and then overpopulates (creating shorter lifespans) while the underfed jar survives the longest. This music video and song embody everything about that experiment and the messaging behind stay away from the overindulgence and pressures from our social environments.

Bingo! I've always loved Jerry's playing, don't care if it's not super shred virtuouso style (Vai, Satriani) bcuz I feel it and it has emotion and weight, like Stevie's playing. I also think Adam Jones from Tool is underrated, people mention him even less than Cantrell , and his riffs and rhythm playing is second to no one. He's a a technical beast in complexity, but he's not a shredder so no one talks about him

I was born in 1982 and it used to piss me off being told by younger people born say, 1988-94 that 90s music was sh*t because it glorified depression and suicide. Not to mention the fact that by the time these kids had the brain cells to develop a taste in music rock music consisted of nu/rap metal. I'm always glad to hear someone that appreciates 90s music. The experimentation, the dissonance, unpredictable chord changes, the wah pedal abuse, songs that were strongly riff based while still retaining depth and quality. It was great and I'm still discovering lesser-known 90s hard rock bands all the time

Jerry Cantrell!! 99% of the time when a rock group uses professional classical musicians for a recording (as AIC did for this song), everything has to be written out precisely for those musicians. Jerry gathered the musicians in a room with him and his acoustic guitar and played for them exactly what he wanted. And they'd work on it together. No sheet music or anything else. And the results are a testament to his ability.
