Lmfao I couldn't agree more

Give your praise to Jerry.

Jerry Cantrell is one of the all-time greats

@Ronald Williams are you kidding me? I don’t care what someone’s melanin count is - but you apparently do.

Indeed

He is such a dope drummer!

He’s awesome

Hes amazing

Absofuckinglutly brother! He's an outstanding drummer!!!

@@xoxozozoxoxo559 8 u 6,8

😂

Haha, same here.

Absofuckinlutley

Soooo heavy

a dope window rattler!

When u go to the hair salon they'll tell u your death! Lol

Phantom Limb Just goes to show you. The more simplistic the riff is, the better. If you can sing the riff, you've done your job as an artist by instilling the hook of the tune and keeping the listener engaged.

+ASquared007 If your goal is catchy music.

SaltpeterTaffy No. My goal is simply to express myself. Whether others like it or not, well that's a bonus. However, in order to survive solely in the Music Industry, you have to 'play the game.' Music is just an intellectual hobby for me. I already have a career. It's just something I've always wanted to do.

So for you, "keeping the listener engaged" is the meaning of self-expression. I don't feel that way, myself. That just means making catchy music to me.

SaltpeterTaffy No. Perhaps I'm not explaining enough. There is a formula for hit songs. Certain things that all of them have. If you want a hit, you have to use that formula. I have researched this extensively. If you google hit song formula (or similar) I'm sure you can find the same things I did. That is what makes a song 'catchy.' Music in the right hands can control human emotion. It's actually quite powerful and has ties to Psychology and Sociology. I don't want to make 'hits,' I want to make music that speaks to people on a large scale. That is my personal goal. I will make albums (like the older artists once did) and will not succumb to the BS the industry runs on (simply cranking out catchy, meaningless hits). I have a sketchbook full of ideas. I just need to flesh them out.

I just wanted to comment the same. So conscious, so much elaborated and never self-repeating. When you'd think you know the trick, he comes with something new you never would've thought about. So much appreciate how his music is consciously balancing between dark, badass and uplifting

One of the ONLY guitarist I have ever seen live and played his recorded solo note for note to the album....I don't think anyone does this, probably because they can only play it that good once....Jerry plays it EVERYTIME not only because he remembers it , he plays it like that because it is a fucking masterpiece note for note....he knows it....

Thinkin same thing

@@severi77 the only other guys that really do this are iron maiden, especially adrian, his solos are so tasteful

Totally agree. A lot of it isn't complicated stuff either. It's very pentatonic with some bluesy stuff mixed in.....that doesn't come of sounding bluesy at all.

Yes yes yes!

DUN DUN DUN DUN!!!!’

Lol

Haahahahahaha

Yo Greg I wanna tell you that you're a funny man because of these types of comments on both music videos and Loudwire videos. You're a cool dude.

Not to mention Layne's mother wanted this band to keep going.

@@jordancummins3092 I wonder why she sued a couple years ago. She seemed to be on board early on

@@thewhitewolf7886 probably needs money

too bad they don't let him actually contribute. in every song he's holding back so people won't compare him to layne

@@perorin615 He wrote Last of My Kind... He's not being hold back

Fuckin' Right it does...

Damn right it does!

AIC, Tool, FNM.... 90s grunge is badass

I wish Screaming Trees had made more. Dust is an incredible album.

Chains are legends in the grunge era and post grunge! I preferred them over any other band outside of the 90s! Soundgarden is second and pearl jam... they don't have a spot because I stopped listening to them after vs.

Jerry is and always has been the genius behind the band so as long as he is around they will likely continue to be great and keep their edge

❣️💯R.I.P❣️💯

So ... Who are the other rare ones ?

Unfortunately Pearl Jam cannot be put in to the Rare category. I've always been a huge fan of them but they lost their "angry vibe" when they hit the 2000's. Eddie's voice is shot to shit. Just my opinion

Rip 🙏❤️

This is an AIC cover band now.

@@macethorns1168 Give it a rest dude...I’ve been listening to AiC since 1990 (which means *at least* as long as you....probably much longer). Layne was one of the best rock singers to ever live but he wasn’t the only member of the band. Let the guys make a living and celebrate their legacy for godsake....

@@macethorns1168 bruh your not a real alice in chains fan then

@dad 69 420 ಠ_ಠ ϟ You have no fucking idea about AIC Jerry was always the head of the band, Layne just had god's voice. They are still one of the best bands around.

*global

Ur right it doesn't.

pretty sure they tuned them all down an octave

that distortion, grungy

This ain’t close to sludge

@@AerikVon You don't know nothing kid

Even though i agree with you, i think that the band never sounded as tight as they did with Starr

Lol Nicely stated.

Helium Road fuckin right it does

German Andrea Giri I don't agree. Inez was better technically and you can hear that difference in Rotten Apple, A Little Bitter and on this track. Starr's bassline on Would was great though. Still prefer Inez's.

i love Inez too, but Starr..........

I mean they created a very good vocal harmony (which is Alice in Chains' schtick) AND they compliment each other's guitar playing. Layne would be happy if he saw that

AIC with Duvall is not the same as AIC with Staley, but it's still pretty damn good in its own right.

Seen aic in August awesome

Your a idiot. This jerk sings Layne Staley in a concert with alice in chains? Extremely disrespectful. Change the name show respect

You are all right they are good together. I see a video from another country new guys left to sing Layne. Real bad mistake.

You forgot William! He is a fucking epic singer and does an amazing job with the band without ripping on Layne.

What about William!

@@RobotSnake this

Might get a little hate for this. I saw them live last September and William is good with the guitar, but absolutely butchers the songs Layne did. Some songs were decent but ugh. The ones after Layne were good though

Duvall too

Mike just forgot to write the reminder on his bass, that's all

I thought he looked like a badass with the new haircut.

Yeah it's just hair, right pff

@@richshaver3962haha I read it in Jerry's voice xD

This is the way

Agreed

+Brenda Starkey damn...... u got me right there so true!!

+Brenda Starkey they have a kinda queens of the stone age to them now in the coolest way

No doubt Brenda

Brenda, marry me! I love that people still dig this band... My absolute favorite.. RIP Layne

+chocomalk yeah he would be

Yep....he sure would! Jerry's looking pretty good after all AIC has been through! They still sound fabulous!

abso-fucking-lutely man!!

chocomalk plz..save ur soul aic is the way the truth the light.listen then listen again..then again and again.u will make it child.just listen

Are you sure? I think you want it how it used to be so badly you don't know this reeks of repetition and desperation. It sucks.

@@AnnieBoBannie421 you’re offended by my feelings about a band? You make absolutely zero sense and need to find a better hobby than get angry with someone who still enjoys their music lmao I think you’re the one stuck in time.

I completely agree k j 😃

@Jerry Cantrell hi Jerry it's nice meeting you here

@Jerry Cantrell if it's not you it's someone who has enough time on their hands to indulge in a weird Jerry Cantrell fetish

Definitely gives me Dirt vibes!

+Akhamesh I thought the same thing.

+Akhamesh now i wanna play Doom

Someone needs to convert this song to MIDI and throw it into a wad already!

There ya go kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d5d7lMKL0JfGooE.html

Anybody else ever notice that the 2016 Doom's main menu song sounds a lottttt like the opening riff for Hollow?

Everyone should know that story of Sisyphus. It's the PUSHING that matters. Great anti-suicide allegory.

Good spot. One fun thing about the Greeks - their gods were just as fallible as humans, and thus the very cunning Sisyphus was able to fool them, over and over again. Of course in the end power wins out and he got his, but I like to think he played one last good trick and escaped.

I never noticed! And listen to this since it was released haha

Fuk Yah! Fav band ever! Been listening alot lately! I love singing it

I am!! Sick ass song!!

Yeppers

New fan, loving the new and old stuff. Really a gem of a band. So badass!

Excellent “angry because COVID has ruined so much” music!!!

Daddy Pobbin its a nasty growl of a bassline its great

Nice

So heavy!

Thats a bass and a guitar

@@dianagil7900 a bass is a guitar

I couldn't agree more!

Amen Brother ...

Well said!

What a great description 💯💯💯💯

Oh Yeah!!. Couldnt of said it better myself.👍

Do you know what type of guitar jerry is playing????

BIMSY 657 ThAnks bimsy. G and L ok .Thought it was fender like. Cool. Looks brilliant

BIMSY 657 oh I thought he used strats early on. I remember he had a pale yellow guitar with a woman painted on it. He used that a bit around the dirt era I think. I thought it was a strat.... and assumed he was a strat man. oh well there you go I learnt something Thanks for the info

BIMSY 657 yeah right. I remember it from Live Photo’s in old guitar mags I bought as a teen. Never realised it wasn’t fender. There you go. Thanks bimsy

Few dudes are able to write a repetitive one-measure riff and make an awesome singable song out of it. Speaking of singing, how crazy is that those two can sing and play those riffs simul-fucking-taneously?

+potterheadxp yes. listen to the music and let the dead rest.

easier to not sell out when you own all your material

God Damn right. Apart from being absolute professionals, the music just has such timeless class.

YES!!!

+joyusdivisionus well said

Lin Tankian He peaked at Dirt but still is very killer 2 decades later. Respect \m/

I like that Lin

You're so gorgeous and smart 😍

Whiskey I would say

Love You, Lin

Me me me

Me too

I will forever rock to AIC no matter my age or the year!

From a long sojourn from far way I've come back full circle to see a living god of rock waging an epic war against a pantheon of equals jealously seeking to crush him and his way. Yet I am still happy to find my brothers and sisters in rock here gathered in unity to pay homage. We may be faded but the string that binds us will never be still as long as the ancients' lines extend. Jerry may be one of those lines and even if he's not, he's worthy to be a new one. Long live the great gods of Music! Me too

Hell yea

Idk man sludge factory is pretty heavy

Yeah definitely, Alice In Chains got heavier with these last 3 albums. After Layne Staley died and they couldn’t rely on his voice, they went back towards the heavy melodic sound and stuck with it. I honestly don’t know if I like the new stuff vs the old stuff.

Listen to It Ain’t Like That Anymore, that’s heavy! Stone is cool too!

@@kimberleys2535 it ain't like that live (singles) you mean ;)

I think I'm one of the few that likes new era Alice more.

👏👏👏

One of the best comments I’ve ever read

Can’t help it. It’s a great jam

the bridge is delicious, man, you got that right!!!

the heavy guitar can be found in half their songs...........its a mix ...definitely metal

Queens really had a great album also. Loved them both.

Was in decals on his acoustic bass in the unplugged concert. Still laugh at it to this day lol

ZoonVaneenWijfje That was a jab thrown at Metallica who were in the audience during the unplugged session

I’m SO glad he grew it back! He doesn’t look like Jerry without his long hair!

@@lorimulkey8423 I think he looked pretty hot in this video!

@@laurenrobinson9219agreed. I think Jerry would have to actively work at not being sexy and even the it probably wouldn’t work. His eyes…that gaze…so much power. 🔥

Yes he was the original singer with these guys, he suffered from depression, and he died of long term drug abuse I believe, and he put his problems down mainly due to his parents divorcing. He had a tremendous vocal range.

Ken Moss he prob wouldn't be cool with u misspelling his first name though.

Juanito Alimaña I'm sure sure you're right. My apologies to Layne Staley. RIP.

Ken Moss RIP Layne, we miss you.

STEVE P he's not Layne.

They even play rock anymore ? What radio station?

@@robertrodent8881 99.9, KISW. Lots of grunge and rock, and occasionally the better bits of modern music.

Oh they do at my station, I recieve it via internet tho as it's not in my region.

Don't hear it much on SiriusXM Satellite radio either. Love AIC 💞

Thats because modern radio ((commercial )) is a shit palace of numbness, its about corporate $$$$$$$$$ making & nothing else, familiarity, blandness, safety, comfort, sterility, $elling you shit you dont & never needed, its not about creativity, riskiness, exposing great talent, if you want that listen to community radio, propbably internet radio (( which I haven't heard )) or just do the ol fashioned thing & buy it, go to your friends houses, listen, share & enjoy yourselves, that used to be thing, mixed tapes shared around, people cranking it in cars, at beaches, parties etc, Dare radio play some Exquisite like AIC instead of arianda grandless !!!!

Class of 94 baby....

@@juan-carlosmereles3505 Heell yeaaahh....Born in 1979!

haha me too!! -Born 1979!

Not just like they were.

Rainier fog is a masterpiece . Long live AIC

@@JORGSEPU Exactly my dude. The return to Seattle has done wonders for them.

This song is an absolute banger

Yeah man, holy shit. I played this to my wife and 11 year old daughter who 'appreciate' my music but don't choose it and they melted at that part of the solo, as did I. Not sure a single part of electric guitar has made me squirm like that ever, and I'm a huge EVH fan.

Friends be like thinin' on top brah, it's the only decent thing to do....

Jerry got n aiircur

The proper quote is: "Friends don't let friends get friends haircuts" it has quite a different meaning when you think of it.

time to rerecord this damn video with proper hair not like the 4th hanson brother. amazing song

OMG YES. I'm so glad Jerry realized short hair is NOT for him.

go listen to the whole dirt album first

+jakeybball what the guy above me said. That said Facelift also has some amazing tunes, Man in the Box for instance

Agree with both on top but Sap also has a lot of good songs on there.

Steve Wood u have been man

A.I.C. don't make shit albums. Some are just greater than others. Get 'em ALL.

What mean ICE rocks still Move?

Wow a boomer at 16, a record

Good job kid. No, great job, gold star. People need to take notes from you.

Well done my son! Now spread the magic to your peers!

Ive grew up (now i have 20) listening to PJ, AIC, STP, Soundgarden and Smashing Pumpkins, and i Will Say something... VIVI BIEEEN!!!! (I'm latin)

Look man I'm a similar age, 19. AIC is my favourite and love that era of music thanks to my dad and just my personality in general, but there is good music still being made today, you just gotta look for it cuz it's not on the radio. This generation doesnt entirely suck.

I don't.

DUVALL IS REALLY REALLY GOOD

Kelly Mcgrath "That's how you become great man...hang your balls out there.." Jerry McGuire

Ever heard Chris Cornell sing Black Rain? or Slaves and Bulldozers?

True, actually. I don't know why...

***** now that he's older he looks better with short hair

I think that everyman must to cut his hair when gets older

Haha he finally got a Friends haircut!

Checked out Pregnant Whale Pain, holy shit they're awesome! Streamed the album, so many different genres are explored on it, amazing! They're somewhat heavier than AIC though, but hey who doesn't love some nice riffs. Huge props for the recommendation man, best album I've heard in a while!

Restinamassgrave It's so cool to see more and more people are getting hooked on PWP. Noone knows anything about this band, they just dropped a mindblowing album out of nowhere a few months ago for completely free. I kind of feel privileged to find them so early before they potentially get big.

wow they're actually pretty cool. shame about the name but the music rocks. hopefully a grunge return isn't far off.

The Chratheostic"a grunge return isn't far off" me : OH SWEET LORD MAKE IT HAPPEN !!!!!!

They are very similar to the old style.and u am hugely impressed usually with new singers a new sound emerges and he is close to Layne I mean Layne was god but they found a great match they are touring this year I'm gonna try my hardest to go since I couldn't in the past

no

Thank you tik tok girl

@@elfilosofo5168 Yes. He would be.

@@kaijucifer3544 no. He wouldn't be. He was dedicated to the grunge. This isn't grunge. He wouldn't be proud that they took his legacy and smashed it into the ground to build up Duvalls legacy.

Geese Howard thanks man that means a lot to me I’ve got a lot hate for saying that this band died when Layne died rip buddy I love you sleep tight

FUCK YEAH \m/\m/

Good on you bro.... When peeps complain about how they should have changed their name or whatever I always remind them of AC/Dc moving on with Brian Johnson after Bon Scott died.

It took me a while to warm up to the new singer.He brings his own style to the table and it is not a bad thing.

I didn't give it a fair shor either, because Alice in Chains is my favorite band. I had to let go of Layne though, and listen to the new stuff as it is. It's still great, and I like that William doesn't try to copy Layne.

That's maturity on ur part

Same. I wasn't ready. Making up for lost time now.

i'm dying

Hilarious 😂

Long hair jerry is so much cooler

Arkei95 You are fucking right.

And incredibly simple.

Who said it has to be complex to be good? Smoke On The Water is iconic, and it has a riff based around a 4-note blues scale.

His voice is weak dogshit when held up against Staley, you deaf clown.

@@macethorns1168 William is a far better singer than Layne. Layne is dead, and he's not singing anymore.

@@macethorns1168 i almost replied to this dogshit comment when i first read it, but even 9 months on, it's as dumb as i remember it being. Duvall's been AIC's singer longer than Layne now, and they haven't missed a step. Real AIC fans know what's up. AIC never died.

@@madarab37 don’t get me wrong ..I love Duvall .. but let’s not get carried away

+Wayne Harris The band ahahahahah. Do you see what I did there?

Layne was the soul, Jerry was/is the body

Together United ❣️💯❣️ Always & Forever ❣️❣️❣️❣️ Alice in Chains Forever💯❣️🙏😓❣️

@Blue Gills exactly. There are very few bands who could ever match the harmonies between Staley and Cantrell.

Love that!

That's not true. Layne co-wrote many of the songs and his vocals is what made them AIC.

What is the history from this Video i dont understand... did you know?

Deniz Kaya aynen kanka ya

Even Stalin says it...

Yeah I hear ya bro. I've taken my time getting around to the new Chains as well. They still sound great. Ain't lost their fastball, they didn't turn into Pearl Jam or U2

Jerry specifically talks about being less technically proficient on the guitar. A guitar god he is not, a very very talented musician he is.

name some guitar gods from that generation then??? If you could please

@@TM-xt8ms Dimebag Darrell is one, definitely

Yes he is and a great vocalist

@@robertjohnsoniii8067 Technical proficiency has nothing to do with being a guitar god though. You listen to a riff, and you know it's Cantrell - a quality few guitarists possess. He's the 'riff lord' after all.

I’m glad he kept it going! And honestly he couldn’t have found a better, ugh, I hate saying replacement cuz he isn’t trying to replace Layne, but, replacement for Layne. Jerry is one of the best guitarists ever and has a killer voice, AIC needed to go on!
