Lyrics:
We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight, and yet I fight this battle all alone
No one to cry to, no place to call home
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh - Hudba
As a Marine coming home from Iraq in 2004 and having my family fall apart almost immediately, I listened to this song and the rest of their unplugged set every day alone in my apartment as I rebuilt my life from scratch. This song SAVED MY LIFE. It reminded me of what true beauty could be if I kept fighting and never gave up. Thank you Layne and thank you AIC. Thank you dearly. And to anyone reading this who's fighting demons of any kind, keep fighting the good fight, keep hanging on. It will not always be this way. Don't let this world harden your heart, believe in yourself and above all, live with love and humility ALWAYS. S/F.
Thanks for those words bro. Hope all is well sir.
@@KroD313 Thank you. All is indeed well. Life is beautiful isn't it?!
@@thewarriorsgarden-83 Not mine I'm a suicidal depressed fuck up bro. And being fat and ugly doesn't help either. But life moved on with or without me.
@@thewarriorsgarden-83 Thank you for your service sir. True hero
Thank you very much, however I'm no hero, but I was lucky enough to know and stand beside many. And I've fucked things up way more than I've ever won. It's not how many times we fall, but how many times we've stood back up. I was depressed and suicidal after the war and after loosing my family and gained almost 80 pounds in a year or so. Now I manage a chain of gyms and am in better shape than when I was in the military. The story of your life is not written in your failures, for in failing there are lessons to learn but only if you keep your heart open. It's not easy but it is worth it. Train yourself to look for and find the good in any situation. The thing itself is not bad, only our perception of the thing, once we are able to stand back and look from different perspectives we will realize the power to change the thing, obesity, depression, whatever it may be, exists inside of us. Everything you need to succeed and be happy is already inside you. I know it sounds corny but I swear it's the truth. Infinite potential exists within all of us. This is why it's so important to believe in yourself. Others will quit on you. It's just part of life. But you must never quit on yourself.
You don't get out of the car until this song is over.
So true
Then I never get out of the car....cuz it’s on repeat...😔
@@motoxrider450 Better get comfy in there
This band is very seldom played in Germany, I am 26 years old and heard alice in chains for the first time 2 weeks ago, although they are so well known.🤷♂️
But really a beautyful song!
@@elgringo2852 welcome to the fanbase brother, you're never too late. I recommend this entire set of unplugged songs if you haven't heard it, absolutely mind blowingly good. Also nirvana's unplugged set as well, also incredible.
22 years without Layne Staley as of today. April 5th, 2024. Rest easy you beautiful torture soul.
❤
❤️
❤️
❤️🩹
We miss you, Layne. Fly on!
The way he just walks in sits down, pulls chair closer to the mic and immediately gives us one of the best songs ever recorded no matter how sad it is in retrospect. You’re missed bro 🫡
What’s really sad is Jerry knew it was closing in on the end of
@@ANNUNAKTRACKSindeed... It seems he enjoy every last second with his friend. 😢
I've had enough I'm choosing me over the junk on my way to rehab wish me luck all...2023 update... your love and thoughts have meant so much to me...I've been clean but it's always gonna be a work in progress probably for the rest of my life...but that's ok because I know I'm worth the work...love each other and most importantly...love yourself ❤️ ...2024 update...man I just wanted to say I love you guys ❤️....we can do anything we put our minds to ❤️
Good luck man🤘
Vlad the Evil good luck 💙
Good luck! 💕
prayers ♥️
Crush it Vlad!! You can do it.
I am now 33 years old but my dad turned me on to this song about 4 years ago. I was deep in heroin/fetynal addiction. As I was listening to this song he told me how Layne Staley was found by his mother after an OD and I can honestly say there isn't not 1 other song out there that catches me like this. Happy to say Dec 27th I'll be 3 years clean!!
Happy for you man. You are a gift to the world. Stay strong, you're more powerful than you know
Good job man. That's a true accomplishment.
I'm actually a girl lol...thanks tho ☺️
@@Audreanna1027 that's even more impressive tbh. Glad you're in a better place now.
@@davidmiller-zf8zl Thankyou!
“I’d feel better dead” hits hard
I am watching this on April 5th, 2024. Layne Staley died exactly 22 years ago today as of the time I wrote this comment. The incredible impact this man had during his short life. RIP Layne, you are easily one of the best of all time, you will be remembered forever.
exactly this. RIP Layne, gone but never forgotten
RIP, Layne. You are dearly missed. Must say if AIC was among the populous of today they would still receive the same type attention, fan base, and recognition by today's generation. I do not believe there would be any difference in their notoriety.
And yesterday it was 28 years ago they recorded this unplugged session. April 10th 1996. Thank you Layne for blessing us with this masterpiece before departing this world❤️
yep a day after my birthday, April 4th, always felt a connection to him, fuck I miss this guy
I remember walking down to a strip mall close to my house, with my best friend at 13. Everyone skated there and we all would hang out as it had a pizza place, crafts store, liquor store, etc. Remember being turned on to NIN and Nirvana. Good times and only the beginning…
this song sounds like heaven but hurts like hell
Perfect description. Damn
How philosophical! How true!
DANGGGG
Your exactly right
Man…
8 years clean as of yesterday. I made it.
Keep it up man! Not many can say they've done this. One of a kind.
3 years off meth and bars
So good to hear bro. Hope u never fall into those pits of hell again
Congrats bro
God bless you guys. Keep it up!
There are songs that actually save peoples lives. This is one of them.
Not his sadly
Or mine
Saved mine june 3rd
“If I can’t be my own I’d feel better dead” 22 months clean from shooting up fent off and on for 7 years
Respect! Keep going with the clean life.
Hell yeah man
Hang in there brother
Unplugged was the best idea MTV ever had.
100%
Better than teen mom and catfish....
Yeah, u are right.
The best
MTV is a joke shell of itself now, so sad
truth
Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside while still alive.
damn
fucking truth, hurts
so true
When we lose a loved one it is hard but when you watch that loved one die before death it is hard...how can I help?...what should I do?...help?....
Love to all that are looking for help....I know no words will help...
That's deep but so true
I don't think I've listened to a song where the bassline complements the chords so beautifully. Simple but packs such a punch.
No way anyone could not like this song. No freaking way. You can feel his pain in a sense that exceeds the boundaries of possession and obsession.
These unplugged sessions in the 90's are MASTERPIECES of music history!!
That is a fact!! 😊💓🤘✌️
The weirdest thing. I was a teen in the 90s and i didnt like unplugged.. well into my adulthood now i prefer unplugged!
This one and R.EM.’s are the tops for me.
@searing7549 REM were my favorite band growing and saw them in concert- flawless performance!!
Yup, recorded em all on vhs as they premiered n watched em over n over again🎉👍🤘
That bass, people... listen to that bass...it's *everything*
Ok we get it , you play bass
Friends don’t let friends get haircuts, the bass sounds so good on this whole concert
Same feeling here
Yes that bass is so haunting. Made me buy one and take lessons at 39 yrs old.
@@denomizotakh Actually, no - I just appreciate the bass in this song...assume, much?
criminally underrated band. Their guitar compositions and harmonics were out of this world.
They definitely weren’t underrated back then, considering they got a slot on MTV unplugged. But they did fall out of mainstream media and into obscurity in the coming years. Now replaced with soulless music made by talentless individuals and idol groups. Sad as hell.
I really needed to hear this tonight. Things are so bad in my life right now. Never been so fucking depressed. Miss you Layne. You remind me of better days.
I’m so sorry you’re going through a hard time. I’m sending you all the strength and courage that you need to get you through. Don’t give up you deserve to be in this world.
@@RubyPeri thank you for those kind words
@@Thatcarspotterguy you know how they say take it day by day? If necessary, take it second by second. Because sometimes a whole day can seem like it’s eons away. Give yourself grace and be compassionate towards yourself. Always remember that no one will love you like you love you.
Hang in there garrylee!
Hang in there man! I went thru a split up 5 years ago and everything I thought I knew I had to relearn basically. I even had a few guns in my mouth several times and the sad thing was that it was comfortable. The only thing I can think of is God but not sure why yet. I know deep down I'm a good person but I have a hell of a hard shell to crack thru for the next person(pity them). I wish you all the luck
This song hits differently when you've been battling depression, by yourself. One love everyone
💯
One love man
Much love !
I feel your pain bud....it hurts more than just us
How are you now mate??
Went to rehab, the junk won for 22 years, found my place in the world now, 3 yrs clean. Amazing
Over 20 years active addict. Clean 4 years now.
Great job! I know it isn't easy but recovery is better than prison or overdosing!
Glad you're all still here
Yes sir we do Recover I got 6plus
@@patrickmuldoon3592 that is awesome! Keep on going in a positive direction bc not everybody makes it or has the balls or will to change so kudos to you! Respect and best wishes! You can do this!
0:45 I love how you can visually see him trying to hide the smile from the loud crowd cheers as he comes out. You can tell he loved that moment. God rest his soul
This song hits hard. We all face the battles alone. We keep fighting every day in the hope of someone loving us for who we are.
So true !
Well said
💜🖤💜
But if I cant be my own Id feel better dead..
That is one of the most beautiful bass tones I’ve ever heard
Yes, and the slide during the 1st verse is sublime.
Yes
Yes Yes YES!
oh boy when mike comes in, picks the bass and play turururudumdum OH BOY
The greatest
Four chords, Em7, G, D, Cadd9 and two paragraphs of lyrics. More emotion than anything you could ever compare it to.
And half step down tune to
Love this acoustic set but this one song could really use that electric lead….so sweet
@@chrisg5107 I have to agree there. Cantrell's lead is so haunting
@@whoohaaXL
The acoustic version is nice too. I guess it’s good to have both. 👍
I mean moonlight sonata by a sir Ludwig Van Beethoven has more emotion and ZERO words. But yes I agree this song is a damn masterpiece. I should say it will live as long as mr Beethoven’s music.
I feel like Layne doing the oooh part by himself without the harmonies makes it sound a bit more haunting. Love it
"If I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead." It hits DEEP, I don' know but the moment after the line, there's something in me that needed it.
People in this crowd are literally the luckiest humans on the Earth.
He was so high that he didn't know where he was
The crowd had no idea how truly blessed they were, until Layne was no longer here 😞
Have you heard the story of this? This dude was so fucked up he begged not to preform. He went out there and fucking killed it, this man is a fucking legend
Not true
They sure were! This is the best Unplugged I've heard. So deep, emotional...and beautiful. Considering the backstory behind it (online as well for those who aren't familiar) they came so close to "was it going to happen?" and they did an unbelievably amazing performance without many rehearsals! Its not the same without Layne. He was such an integral part of the band! I can't listen to them anymore. I miss those days...
This guy was a living cadaver back then, he came out from nowhere, hiding needle scars and dead eyes, sat down, and sang the crap out of it with such control and sweetness in his voice. This moment was out of this world. Just magical
Just like how kurt cobain was also going through tuff stuff as well, both of em suffering through shit but still putting on 2 of the greatest live acoustic performances of all time
Kurt wasnt messed up like Layne for the unplugged
@@mikepeverelli7472 not on the exact level but he was suffering from heroin withdrawal and alot of mental issues with Courtney love that led to his suicide months later
@danielchristie2519 yeeeeeeeaaaaah I don't think Kurt killed himself but hey... Who cares now... Layne is dead, Kurt is dead, the important is : drug leads to f*cking tragedies.
I know. The unplugged show really felt like Layne coming out to sing at what he knew would be his eventual funeral. The candles. The vibe. The sound. He did this all for a reason.
Lost my heart and soul of 39 yrs last Sunday and NEEDED this song. I just wish I had the capability to have given you a portion of the love you unconditionslly gave to me. You deserved so much better. And I will live with that regret eternally. I Love You Rita.
Me too n I'm 39 now .. I feel ur pain.. but I'm trying to get though it.. I died 3 times this past year..
I'm sorry for your loss, brother! You did the best you could at the time. You're already going through so much. Be easy on yourself. You did well enough, otherwise she wouldn't have stuck around until her last day. Sending you love and prayers.
I've said it and i'm gonna say it again. this is the most powerful live performance I've ever heard. Pure emotion from Layne, and that bass tone is so tasty
The worst feeling of being alone is when you're alone in a crowd. RIP Layne
@Chris blessings to you Chris. I hope someday soon you will be able to go outside...
Such a true statement to the core😭
Yes 💔
Not many can understand that statement.
Its both the same. Lying to yourself is worse.
I spent the 90's with a needle in my arm, listening nirvana and Alice in chains, now I'm 15 years sober and I have a beautiful daughter. Thank you God! Rest in peace Layne.
That's fucken AMAZING!!! 15 Years wow!!! Some never see a year. So proud.....even if I don't know you
That's awesome man!
You’re an inspiration to us all!
Brilliant mate nice one
Im still fightin the good fight now against fet n dope... Got app at rehab 2m. Had a dream my ex who overdosed n died was wit me n all we did was hug. Sucks havin no one to share that wit it really fucked me up like she knows wat im goin thru
April 2024 anyone?
at least once a month i watch this😊 i know someone who was there too🥹

I will never stop watching this performance, he knew this was it saddest shit ever
😢
I as well watch this at least once a month
@@mrs.interpret
hauntingly beautiful. this song saved my life when i quit fentanyl and was going through hellish withdrawals and cravings... im happy to be sober and alive! rip to the one and only, that man has saved so many lives with his beautiful music. and of course the other members too! all of them gave it their all
Hope your doing okay now brother👍 long live Alice in chans🤘
I will talk about that perfect bass line
Talk to me Indo
Bass ITS GREAT
this is what my musician friends first noticed. everyone immediately was like wtf how does that acoustic bass sound so fucking good. haha. one of the best performances of all time
puar junkhead and would from the singles release party is legitimately one of the best performances ever caught on camera and laynes voice is so ridiculously good I don’t know how to describe it.
@@FriendOfN0ne absolutely. They typically don't. I think they're running his through a defretter pedal to get that sound.
How to bring a grown man to tears.
I can't listen to this without thinking of everyone that's gone. Mom and Dad, my 17 year old son, Layne and everyone else.
I'll see you again.
It's okay and my condolences.. that's the power of Layne Staley.
Layne has that effect on those that truly loved and appreciated him in all his broken, beautiful glory. Sending you much love for the grief of your losses.
you will.
I'm sorry for your loss. A father of three, I just can't imagine.
Stay alive, stay loving, stay strong brother. I wish and pray you much love. It sucks, but it's ok to fight this battle with your chest high. Stay strong my friend, don't ever commit suicide. Don't ever do it while your down. People love you
The best intro to the BEST unplugged EVER!
A tradition i started to make a while ago it's to watch both Nirvana and Alice in Chains unplugged on April 5 every year
I’m gonna start that to except just AIC
@@jacobcamp5108 I'm glad you are!
This is the best sounding bass tone that ever existed.
I agree completely
I watched it again after I read this and you’re right, it’s ridiculous.
Totally. The best.
I just told my wife as this sing was playing, "I want to look up the tableture for this song.". I wanna learn it. This whole album has bass lines like this.
And that’s when I went out and bought a bass.
Fantastic vocal control.
The "ooh's" get me every time. Especially that final one.
And his mouth barely opens… I’m in awe every time. Crazy.
I've been hooked for 33 years, cocaine and alcohol, clean now for 6 years.
I'm never going back to that disgusting way of life!
For everyone who's in rehab : DON'T GIVE UP, LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, YOU CAN DO IT!
I'm a simple man, They playin' nutshell, I'm cryin'
czcams.com/video/UIvp6qWp4ko/video.html
Thought you were dead, homie.
I miss you Patrick
Glad it isnt just me. Seen enough of this World to know it isnt my home. They can play this at my funeral. Heroin is a cruel mistress indeed.
My god,is that u Patrick?
So badass how Layne walks in, sits down and immediately starts singing.
I get choked up every single time when he makes his way to the stage and the entire crowd just erupts.
In reality that took five odd takes , he was fucked by then the smack had ripped him apart .
I thought the exact same!! Just sits down and is on point instantly
Indeed. I thought the same thing.
@@HEYitzED YES. Goosebumps on arms. Tears in eyes.
11 years on the junk. Im a decade clean and still learning and trying to function as a normal person. This song was my anthem a lifetime ago
one of the best songs, but from the moment he sits down and opens his mouth to sing, good lord do the water works start. Fuck, Layne was one of those souls and energies you physically hurt from missing. I hope you are at peace. xx
Anyone else think Alice In Chains is the best Unplugged performance ever aired?
Yep..One of the best bands of the nineties my man.
Without doubt..ambience ..sound quality and you can tell the band are glad to be playing again..
Nirvana unplugged was also legendary tho
One of the best, they had some other really good ones like Queensryche
Alice in Chains, Nirvana and Pearl Jam hands down the best performances. Oh and Fleetwood Mac🤤
How Layne just walks out, soul already dead but body still alive, and belts this song out perfectly just shows the talent he had. Layne functioning at 25% if that is far better than most vocalists today at 100%. Truly a hauntingly beautiful performance that goes down in the books as one of the greatest of all time.
Jim Morrison would be proud, oh wait he is now partying like hell, heaven beside them
You’ve got that backwards, his soul is very much alive, it’s his body that’s cooked out but he still had a great voice for someone in that physical condition.
spot on
Sad af but glorious
Man put his soul in his voice
The way he drops the tone of his voice at 2:46 expressed so much emotion.
thats layne staley the goat
Layne died 19 years ago today; he was dying here and not only did he give one of the best performances of all time, he still gave a better performance than anybody today. RIP Layne you were one of the greatest singers to ever live, we miss you.
This whole show was heartbreaking. You can tell something is not right with Layne, his spirit and power isn't there. It gave some of the songs a more somber feeling, but I thought it was so scary to see and hear this back then.
When I first saw this, I thought Mike's guitar said "Friends don't let friends use". I kinda wish it did say that.
I made this exact comment almost a year ago and some random fan tried telling me me wasn’t dying cuz he lived six more years after this. Injecting heroin is dying and it got him.
This is so heartbreaking. Why are the greatest people burdened with such pain.
Most of the credit goes to Cornell and cobain, and they were GREAT voices, butt layne was THE BEST, and their unplugged performance was the BEST ONE EVER!!nirvanas was badass and so was pearl jams, but CHAINS unplugged WAS THE BEST HANDS DOWN! So awesome that of the top 5 ever unplugged sessions were bands from this era and scene, nirvana was 1 pearl jam was 3rd, CHAINS was 5th, they should have been first butt nonetheless, AWESOME😀
it's not just the lyrics, it's Layne's haunting voice, it's Mike's deep bass, Sean's cracking drums, and Jerry's amazing guitar that pulls at your heartstrings.
It's the TOTALITY of the song that makes it so amazing and timeless. It can apply to any situation not just drug abuse. Everyone faces the path of time, and lies, and at some point we all fight our battles alone.❤️
your a fucking poet ♥️♥️♥️
Not “just” drug abuse..?..how magnanimous from a crack head= its not “ just” about him…?
@@anthonybradshaw1545 it’s ‘you’re ‘…
Oh, well holler gee..is that what I said..?
Yeah..don’t understand why Alice didn’t just eliminate the storyline…?
22 years ago today we lost this beautiful soul. I miss Layne.
Questa si che era musica... solo sto pezzo vale gli ultimi 20 anni di musica
Por seguro !!!
It's almost as if he knew his own fate.There's a sadness in his voice that will never be replicated
I heard someone say it was like singing at your own funeral.
he did ! all of us addicts do ! some are just in denial , we only have 3 choices , locked up , sober up , or covered up ! why do we still do it to ourselves ? That i dont know ! ive lost my wife kids home , everything and only thing i thinking about is how to get my next fix sad , pathetic anyway ya want to look at it. i hate this saying but, it is what it is !
@@brianpinion5844 It is what you make it out to be. Please for the sake of your children, go to rehab. Don't just give up and accept whatever's coming. Your children and your family need you, I can promise you that. And sometimes there is such thing as being too late. You can do this, I'm rooting for you brother ❤️
He totally knew. Such a loss. Its a very tough fight (ive been down that path) with never ending pain for you and even more when you realize what you've done to everyone around you. Never give up.
U have many more choices my friends. Fresh air, healthy foods, water and exercise, always a good start. Ain’t easy but well worth it 🙏
Man that bassline is so beautiful and clean with a hint of darkness which is fitting
damn right.. intro with the bass start, perfect sound
Exactly what i was thinking, that baseline is perfect!
I was thinking the same thing
Best bassline is on the beginning if "Would?"
So powerful
Honestly one of the best acoustic rock songs ever
Snuff acoustic is pretty touching too if you haven’t check it out
@@tonykusz9943 I will check it out, thanks
This 14th of June, I will be clean and Sober for 2 months from Alcohol, I know it's not much, but it is a start, thank you Layne Staley..
good job man. Keep your head up
The bass in this song is absolutely incredible... actually everyone is flawless....what a performance
Fuckin A! It sounds killer!
@@jordanbuckner1023 right?!
Those slides and weird overtones just add so much to the song. Mike Inez is great with an acoustic!
@@gasmaskboi19371945 deff the slides that do it, perfect placements and timing, simple but effective!
I second that. Great accoustic rendition
he died alone, faminshed and 80 lbs. this song was his most honest. a cry for help. fight addiction any way you can. this was a journal entry. don't let it be yours.
Go watch Man in a Box knowing what happened in the end.
No, really 😢
Enough to make a grown man tear up
There will never be a time as culturally as significant as the 1990’s in the U.S.A. This song, this album, this band examplifies that. It was a perfect storm of music, culture and fashion. There will never be another time of this significance in this country. Ever
I yearn for that era so badly. When times were simpler, too. I'm 42 now but sometimes feel it was yesterday, that I could go back and it's right there.😞
Layne comes out, sits down and belts out a performance most artists would end their night on.
So well put. Definitely one of the greats.
Sits down and goes to work. Pro
Well said... And so true man. What a great voice, it gives me the thrills event after soo Many years.
That's a gangsta walk!!
Um, did you see the nirvana unplugged, just like this one, they were writing music history and never knew it. #RipLayne #RipKurt #RipSeattleMusic
Growing up in Jersey we only listened to hip-hop. My boy (white) put me up on AIC never knew y'all had so much pain in y'all music going thru the same things we go thru in the inner city, addiction, alcoholism, suicides, poverty and death around the corner. This song brought me to tears when I first heard it. I live in a better neighborhood now and my neighbor played this while cutting his grass. Brought back that feeling!! Black, white, red or yellow stay strong and love your fellow man!!!
Amen brother. We all go thru the same struggles just trying to make a living a be happy. Stay safe out there. 🙏
So be it!
Hard times dont discriminate.
Beautiful message. xxoo
Yessss!! Amen
Granted I was only 14 when they did this but I was really surprised that they choose Alice in Chains to do an acoustic set but they just killed it. All of those songs sounded incredible and hearing the emotion in Layne's voice was beautiful.
"if I can't be my own, id feel better dead" might be the most powerful line in lyrical history.
Verdade universal!
Easy now.
"And yet I fight, and yet I fight this battle all alone. No one to cry to, no place to call home". Shit hits home for me

@@Bob-hz6fp #im100andhatemyself
Seeing Layne walk out and immediately sing “and yet I fight this battle alone...” is heart breaking.
We chase misprinted lines was the first thing he said but yea I feel you . On that bro .
Everytime I play this I start crying.
@@pumpkin28ful lies not lines
@MKULTRA same
I cannot watch this without crying
im shitting tears guys its 2024
How do u shiitt tears ?? 🤔💩
I'm here with you 😔
Might want to see a doctor
Stay strong brother. We’re all here with you
I do understand that my friend.
If I can't be my own, I'd fell better dead. Those words resonated in 1993, still do in 2024.
I’m really happy people are actively listening and commenting on this like it’s brand new
Here for my daily listen, seen them live back in September in seattle it was amazing
same i love this
That’s because it never gets old.
Because its so beautiful
Song is timeless
This performance to me has always felt like layne saying goodbye. Truely heartbreaking
@sappyx kurt coabin and layne were both struggling man): herion is one of an drug
So true...
But he was alive till 2002?
@@fozianizamuddin6074 yeah but he isolated himself for years and wouldn't see anyone until his death.
He was dying...and they all knew. It broke my heart....he was such an inspiration to me. Chris Cornell too.
It doesn’t matter what year you listen to this in, it will always remain legendary.
Layne just walks out straight to the mic and just starts singing like a boss
he is the boss! lol
It was great he did it again after so long so sad it got the best of him rip
Like it was his farewell, and god damn if it wasnt . Like a boss.
Jeff Michel I thought it was sweet cause they gave him a big reaction and he didn’t put his hands up or anything just smirks and walks over to the mic
A true master at his craft.
The worst pain in the world is being around a lot of people n feeling alone
That's how living in Los Angeles is for me. I need to get the hell out of here.
Damn, that struck a chord. It is quite a bad feeling, but hearing someone else acknowledge the sentiment feels somewhat comforting... Thanks, Danny.
@Nathan Foster I'm sorry you feel that way, Nathan. Are drugs a reason why you now have limited social interaction? If so, there's likely at least one other option where you're neither dead nor alone. Give this stranger a shout if you need to chat it out bro. Good luck and much love.
Read Charles Bukowskis view on being alone. Itll give you a new perspective.
feeling alone or totally out of place or both!
Layne where ever you’re at thank you for this
He was so amazing!!! A great voice and great soul gone wayyyy too soon. He had his demons but who tf doesn't??? Cheers to you, Lane
Layne Staley walks in, nonchalantly, almost disinterested and then sings with all of his heart, not his vocal cords. What a way to go out, rest in unchained peace, Layne, Kurt, Chris.
And Scott
Spot on brother
We are just lucky enough to be blessed with their music. There will never be anyone else like them. I hope all they are jamming together somewhere, wherever they are
That's because he took a banger to last for the WHOLE SHOW it's a wonder he didn't die then 😔
@@STTDB1990 we must protect Eddie Vedder
Layne Stayley, Scott Weiland, Chris Cornell, Kurt Cobain, we miss you guys, man.
A lineup of remarkable and timeless singers,to be blessed with a vocal instrument that these guys had.What a great time to be alive back then.
Don't forget Chester ❤
America really is pathetic in preventing and treating drug abuse. None of these guys should’ve even had the option to start in heroin
I don't miss Scott Weiland or Chester but I miss the late great Mister Mark Lanegan my goat, Andrew Wood and Ian curtis even though ian died a year before I was born. Damn it
@@trentbateman thats a really great idea... we'll just make it illegal so they'll stop.... 🤦🏻♂️
My opinion this is the best unplugged from that era
In 1998 I was a teen put into foster care, sent to reform schools and juvi. The 90's are more than nostalgic, they are a time I felt safe and home. I have yet to find that again.
People say “your best days are ahead,” but that’s not true, your best day is *today* because you’re still here and your contributions to what makes the World great may not be recognized, but they are being felt.
Stay strong brother, you’ll make a better home. 💪
People don't talk enough about Mike's bass tones. That shit touches my soul.
@@jamief.8406 Thank you, you too!
@@jamief.8406 he's one of my favorite bassist. He gives a song such a dark background with that super heavy tone. And you are gorgeous.
@@jamief.8406 I learned the acoustic riff to this a couple weeks ago, and I can't stop playing it lol
@@jamief.8406 Sure I can do that. I have to go to work for a while
@@jamief.8406 Ok lol
Layne walks up to mic and gives the best vocal performance of all time. Goosebumps every time
Flawless timing from walking up to the mic to starting to sing
He just sits down and 2 seconds later just starts singing … the best performance. He went to the mic and boom
My thoughts as well
Literally just walks up and does it. 10/10
I hope ur doing alright, my man
22 years... I never knew Layne, and yet I miss him so much... I miss him, not because I knew him... But his music made me know me better. The amount of times I would cry in darkness and listen to Alice in Chains, to feel his spirit telling me it'll be alright... It's a gift that I'll carry on till the next life.
RIP Layne & Kurt.
This song gives depression to depression.
So powerful and so sad.
R.I.P. Layne And Mike ✝️
My brother, age 26, died from the side effects of drug and alcohol addiction on October 8, 2020. The side effect was suicide in his case. He couldn't stop using. He wanted to stop. All the help was there. But he was too depressed to accept it. I am not mad at him for hanging himself. I'm an alcoholic as well, and I'm in active recovery; I'm 96 days clean and sober. I'll show my brother's 9 month old daughter (my beautiful niece) how much he loved her through always being there for her. That baby is mine now. She will not grow up without a father figure if I have anything to do about it.

Bless you my friend and your niece. Live a beautiful life.
I lost my brother to...Also my sister same story as you just know your not alone and never give up the fight you have to live for yourself and let your brothers daughter live for herself and find her own path .... took me a long time to realize that. I tried being the father figure to only find out its not my place ..... you gotta live your life man for u noone else but you
@@liljoe8667 I appreciate your story as well my friend. It sounds very much like you can relate to what my family and I are going through. I'll definitely keep that advice in mind, about raising my niece and all. I only want what's best for her. Thank you for telling me. Peace.
I wish you the strength and fortitude to go through the challenges. I am sure you will break through the chain and show your lovely niece how beautiful life can be. Wishing you the best of all.
Wish you all the best in life🙏🏻
Yet another late night listening to this in the dark with tears in my eyes. Please lord help me make it for my little girl.
You can do it bro
Don’t give up.
My dad told me he this song has always been his go to during his darkest moments and now he’s able to share it with me. As a woman who’s so grateful for my father, make it through for her. You can do this.
Reading that was like a stab in the heart. I hope you make it through, brother!
you’ll make it through this. i’m 15 and am watching my dad through a rough time, my biggest fear is losing him. she needs you, i can’t stress this enough, please stay for her.
My dad is lost in his own world at this point and this song fits him . Every time I hear it , he comes to mind . I wish I could help but after so many tries , it’s just best to stay with the good memories from my childhood of him. I close my eyes and picture that great dad he was to me as a kid . Sadly addictions happen , families fall apart , and time takes care of everyone.
This is easily one of the top 5 best performances of all time.
I agree. The people who were in attendance that night are some of the luckiest people on Earth.
Agreed brother, the talent and emotion is amazing
“ Down in a hole” #1 in my books, or did you mean the entire show…
Because yes
@@greglloyd147 “Down in a hole” unplugged is my all-time favorite song. That entire show is gold.
Agreed. I heard this song for the first time camping. A car played the cd in a canyon in the mountains and it echoed and filled the air and night sky. Amazing band.
Rest in peace, Layne Staley. 21 years ago today. I have been clean from heroin for six years as of this past February. (2-9-17) I've lost so many friends and family members to overdose, including both of my parents 😔. Opiate addiction is a beast, but it's not impossible to get clean.
GREAT job at being clean from heroin. I'm sure life is much better for you. Stay strong like you have been
Good on you. Hang in there. Live is lived not endured.
Belo comentário 👏👏👏
Very proud of your commitment. Sending you the best vibe to keep it up.
I feel you sis ❤
This music will live on forever while the trash that is released nowadays becomes forgotten within a week. Yes there is still amazing music being made it just doesn't get the air time it deserves.
Best of luck to whom all that ever feel alone, stuck and forever drifting in an endless scream for understanding and help.
Can you imagine being there that night? No phones and crap. Witnessing such a pure, raw, emotional and iconic moment in (grunge)music history. All silent and in awe. Just goosebumps...
This will go in history as one the greatest performances on record. Ever.
@@Flachmatuch This IS already in history, since 1996 until forever!
I am so jealous of them
Ok boomer

For me the bassist stands out in this whole session. I mean I never thought a bass could sound so beautiful in live session
Dude, so much truth. Incredible playing
The best mtvunplugged
Agreed
Sunsence one of the greatest
It was Mike Inez playing this live. Although yes Mike Starr was the original bassist
Funny how nearly 30 years later this song still hits home and takes so many people to one of the darkest points in their lives. Some things seem so mundane and petty compared to what others are going through but if you’re struggling, you’re struggling. Life goes on, things get better. God bless.
may 2024 anyone ?
I just want to say congratulations to everyone in this comment section telling us they’ve been clean, sober, and on the right path for however long it may be. I’m proud of you, keep going and stay strong.
They performed this on April 10th, 1996. 27 years later, I have no words when I watch and listen to his amazing voice. You are not human if this doesn't give you chills or bring a tear to your eyes. Rest in Peace Layne.
I cry... I can't help it.
Да, только он в аду, куда и мы скоро отправимся
I was 4 year's old when this come out
I remember when this came out, I was 19 years old and got chills but now, it hits me even deeper 💜 wish I could go back to this moment, wish he was here.
Your idea of a beautiful, human and amazing musical artist is just that. It's "Yours." Although, it's narcissistic to judge a world of humans based solely on your love, your need and your opinions. Yes, he was talented. A talented individual who had everything a young wanna-be artist dreams of, accept the will and strength to "Live." He is the last individual I would want my children to aspire to be. I'm not taking away anything from this young man, or disrespecting his life, or achievements in any way. He did all the damage upon himself by taking his own life and giving up.
41 years old and this song still gives me goosebumps and gets my eyes watering. I was in college when he passed and I still get all the feels when I listen to their music.
This song connects the souls of so many strangers..Will always be one of the greatest ever. You just have to feel it within..
The moment when Layne walks in and just starts singing is one of my favourite moments in all of music
It's very bittersweet
Mine too man
crepez Definitely! He was amazing
Dear Minus Cube. You say it so absolut beautiful . All the best from Denmark
😭😭
