Bohemia Afterdark launched on TVs in 1982 and operated in Phoenix, AZ, but early history is unknown until 1990 when they moved to Portland, Oregon. In 1992 they began airing on KPDX Portland and then they move to KWBP in 1994. In 1995 they began airing on 22 Network One affiliates. In 1997 Network One shut down and the service moved to KOIN and in 2001, the service moved back to Phoenix, airing on KASW, then in 2002, moved to KPHO-TV. In 2003 they got their own station, KPHE-LP, at the time broadcasting on channel 19 in Mesa, Arizona, and changed their name to Bohemia Visual Music. KPHE moved to channel 44 in Phoenix in 2005.[2] Bohemia Visual Music changed their name to 24-7 Videos for a few months from mid-2005 to early-2006, then reverted to Bohemia Visual Music.

I could watch AIC interviews all day
So I am
Lol.....ditto mate, especially when Layne is present!!
Me as well
@@chonradtyrsun6292 Dang,, me too.
Dang! Me too....
Let's wear black and not tell Jerry 😂
😂😂😂🤣
Jerry is trying to play along but he's the serious one he can't help it.
this comment deserves more likes..
cause he is only one not from Seattle
shaun zimmerman just found out none of the members are from Seattle
@@jediwookie6607 close enough
He is the serious one!!! He’s like the dad of the group. But he’s also really goofy and child-like in moments. Like he Nona tapes, “Look! It’s a man in the box” when he steps into the box. They all matured a lot. Lightened up in a way too. Their early days seemed very confused and heavy. Rip Layne, Starr, Demri.
BTW, AIC (especially Layne and Sean were so quick-witted). I loved the clownship these guys had together.
Rob Ellis those bafoons
So cool to see this. Extended sit downs on camera with AIC are not too common. Cool to close my eyes and it's like I'm there and Mike hits me with that toy stethoscope lol. Man they were so good live in this era
You must become like a bafoon
Yes man they were funny dudes.. such a damn shame drugs had to come in and destroy lives.. it’s crazy sad
*AiC
AIC is my Zeppelin.
Never looked at it that way before, but it fits me also.
Always thought AIC were our Zep and STP were our Doors
Rob Ellis DEAD ON, MAN. SAME HERE. I loved zeppelin too......
@@marshalmagooo3899 AIC was my Black Sabbath, Soundgarden was my Zep, and Pantera was my Judas Priest.
My favorites Nirvana and Soundgarden, but AIC right there flowing
There's something about Sean that I just love so much. He's a natural comedian. Nothing sexier than a man with a sense of humor.
Layne is so adorable 😍
Jerry looks like he didn't get the memo to wear black and look all "rock star" for this interview. Dude looks like he just woke up.
😂😂😂
I mean, what’s more rockstar than that lol
except his hair is perfect lol
Every single one of them has prettier hair than me
Love how Sean is always like: "Hi mom!" 😂
I love Layne's voice when he would talk. Man brings me back memories. Miss miss miss that man. He had such a sweet voice. This made me smile.
I know.
Honestly I think we may never have another like him.
Do you feel the same?
IKR, his voice is so soft and gentle💕
Love Layne's hearty chuckle at Jerry's joke at 12:30 lmao
That moment when Mike wanted to check Layne's heartbeat 🥰❤️🥺
Mike Starr is a babe
Merissa you are a babe too
To call a man a babe is just.. out of the ordinary 👀.. only wahmen are babes
Wouldn't you love to see him barefoot?
He was a fukin stud
Mike was gorgeous 😍
Love their sense of humor - they must have been so much fun to hang out with back then
they were
Central Tavern, house parties, shooting pool at Brick Street, Queen Anne, that fashion show in Lynnwood Mike S was at. Sean drove my car once spinning wheelies in the parking lot, and once I drove Jerry home where he was staying in Rainier Ave or smth at his managers Kelly Curtis n whole way there he was irritable cos he was afraid to wake Kelly up. At one house party after practice Layne was tryna get in the shower n on his way in i was asking him if he wanted to go to the ballet n he said oh my sisters in ballet.... blah blah yea. real shit. real
@@RLifestyle453 You were friends with them?? Do u have any Layne stories? 😯
Layne is perfect,lovely, ..
7:10 Layne said “My favorite band was different every month”...
Yeah, not me, my favorite band is and has always been AIC..
That’ll never change until my death. And even then, I want Facelift and Dirt put in my casket.
If you get them tattooed on you than they will be in your casket with you.
Agreed, and I am a odd bird my previous favs prior to AIC I was a goth and Depeche Mode and the cure were favs.
At 16-17 AIC was immediately forever the fav. DM just doesn’t cut it.
@@ssherrierable I love tats but I’m a wus that’s a pain I’m scared of.
Not to mention I’ve a vivid memory of my grandpa’s old tats as a 4 year old girl.
Samee, AIC is definitely the best band from the 90's
Love how Layne isn't vague or ambiguous about the grunge thing. Just admitting that it is what they went for! Love it! 😄
Lol at the Washingtonian referenced inside joke Jerry told @1:16 about “Western State”.
Western state is locally infamous mental health hospital, in WA. That holds some of the most dangerous and extremely mental ill people in the state. As well as, people who the less severely mentally ill. Its been around since 1871, their most famous patient was the actress frances farmer. Most will know her from being referenced in the title of a Nirvana song from the In Utero album. But thought i would share for those unaware of the reference Jerry was making.
Thank you very much for explaining! I didn't understand the reference
Wow, thanks for the info!
4:11 Jerry and Sean looking Layne like...WTF??
I'm in love with Mike Starr.
They had me laughing so hard! I love these guys! Breaks my heart that Layne went from this to where he ended up. We lost an amazing person and artist!
I love that these guys never ever take themselves seriously.
Especially Sean 😆
AIC, always and forever. Miss you Layne
Layne's laugh around 12:30 is so fucking cute
Audrey Vidal Yeah and 10:30 too
He's the cutest indeed.
Maddog -80 6
Yup 🥰
3:03 omg Mike listening Layne's heart is the best thing i have ever witnessed. 💕 Best bromance/bffs ever. Be happy in the heaven both of you 😭🙏🏻
‘Sometimes I feel naked without Layne in this life’
@@PnwOnTour wow! Ditto .
Couldn’t verbalize just that.
Ty
Mike said that on Loveline, quote might not be exact.
@@PnwOnTour never watched it. Ty still learning
czcams.com/video/HzwHj5OmpLM/video.html it’s a good listen 🎧
It's good the interviewer asked them what they had for dinner. Had it not been for that, we would have missed Layne's detailed description of his bowel movements 🤣😂
Layne: "It's weird, you know? I think that I chew my corn thoroughly, but then... you know, I look and, uh, I didn't... obviously."
Thanks for the imagery, Layne. Hahaha! That part cracks me up everytime!
Morbid4nya me too. My favorite part of the video. Starts with corn in the morn..lol..
Morbid4ny--I say Layne uses a lot of reverse negative metaphors to make a point. In this case, I say the subject was about the band, KORN and a fight, even though Korn may have been reported as having formed in 1993---time makes no difference and is an illusion=a measurement of pain..
@@rosekittygraykittyjackkitt9676 Korn didnt even form until 93 so i doubt it.
@@CoreyT127 There is no way Layne meant that literally.
@@CoreyT127 You cannot take almost anything Layne and Jerry say, literally. Mike S and Sean K are different. those 2 you take literally.
When Sean says “oooh goblins” I lost it! I laugh every time I watch it.
This is great! I was at this show, squashed against the stage, and got hit in the face with a drumstick. If I recall Mookie Blaylock was the opener and one of the first shows where Eddie Vedder was playing with the recently former members of Mother Love Bone. I remember almost not going to the show because it cost so much (like 6 bucks). Very cool to see this. Thanks!
hey Seattlite it's a Snohomish County OG scenester comin thru was this at Offramp
I love these cute idiots so much, my god.
Kate Vielle it’s just too bad we didn’t get to see interviews of all of them years later when they were into their 30’s..
They’re still funny and idiotic, like Mike Inez a few years back pretty much bombing a shout-out to a sponsor on cam...
But the lead idiot, Layne just isn’t there anymore..
Instead, you got that REAL idiot, Duvall to make you cringe.
Im sure they love you back kate...
same ugh
@@LostCause36 you realize Mike Inez isn’t in this clip and that he didn’t join until 1993?
Okay, about 10 seconds in after Jerry says 'Alice In Chains", he kinda tilts his head over to the side. That is so adorable!! Course it's probably just me that thinks so ,I'm a jerry fanatic...
Kayla Mueller thanks for pointing it out didn’t notice fellow Jerry fanatic here ;) it was adorable then again he is adorable :3
Another fellow Jerry fanatic over here😍☺☺ I agree it was so adorable when he did that.
He is so cuteee
wow, can't believe this was 20 years ago. Missing Layne (cryin')...
As for 2021 it's 30 years ago now.
Still crying 30 years 😢 AIC was the first band I ever saw in concert when I turned 18 and I knew immediately that Layne was otherworldly. We were as close to the stage as humanly possible and you could feel Laynes voice. I don't know how to describe it other than like that, his voice was huge & powerful. Mark Lanegan has said the same thing on interviews about Laynes voice. Man, it was an amazing show by amazing musicians & it started my love of all things AIC & Layne Staley.
RIP Layne Staley & Mike Star 🕊 The world is a darker place without you here 💔
This is cool. This shows the DRAMATIC change drug use had on Layne. Wow. Heroin and crack really ravaged him badly. Too bad. What a cool guy.
Absolute terrible
Fact
My personal opinion but most tragic and biggest loss in music history. Dude had a different sort of talent
You could tell he wasn't naturally enjoying things anymore after trying heroin. Terrible "awesome" drug
Why does drugs always have to be brought up. It's incredibly sad how it all turned out but let's just focus on this gift he left over 30 years later for us to still jam to
one of the funniest interviews ive ever watched from them lmao. i miss them. cant fathom it. also love how seans exquisitely drumming his fingers throughout
Drugs are so bad. Look at how healthy and happy and bright Layne looks here. This makes me feel so sorry for him.
Noble the Heathen last thing we need is a another sympathy for Layne comment.
Charles Jones Why?
S K because I've been down road because I chose to go down it. I also made the choice to get off that road and make a better life for myself. Layne chose to stay in that life and he reaped what he sowed in the end. He could have chose to try harder for himself and his family, and for the band mates that waited patiently for years for him to clean up.
This was also when he was much younger. Not many go through this but as people grow they change. Yeah I get that drugs had a major impact in his physical health but age is a factor too.. just saying
@@charlesdjones1 to compare yourself to someone else is ignorant..it's like talking down to someone who has allergic reactions to pollen or even sun rays just because you don't have a reaction to these things.. maybe he was a way more hardcore user than you or maybe he just had better shit than you did. Whatever the case, 2 different people, 2 different perceptions and reactions
LMAO! Love how Sean was basically using this as drumming practice :). Thank you so much for posting.
I can watch Alice in Chains interviews all day long. It doesn't matter how bad the interviewer is, it doesn't get much worse than this guy, I still love seeing Layne. Especially in these that are before they hit the big time. I miss Layne.
Even his speaking voice was 😍
When they talk about Seattle bands, they didn't even mentioned Nirvana, because Nirvana was an unknown band in 91, but by the end of that year, Nirvana was the biggest band in the world!
Mind blowing.
My GAWD Jerry is soooo cute when he smiles. Adorable. (Bck then I was either marrying him or Kurt Cobain)
@Gisselle S lol, seriously I'm not surprised 1 bit😂😂 I'm so proud of my 1st celeb crushes bc as we all know it could've been SOOOO much worse Haha. I know Jerry had multiple relationships(so ample opportunity fr ALOT of women)but I always thought Kurt literally was grabbed by courtney when still with miranda &he had no others, so was he a cheater?(not that I care, just wondering are" those women "talking crap?) Do spill....😂😂
He had a cute smile though not at all good looking, like the other three.
@@christar9527 yep ,but that's what I mean when he smiles he was so cute looking(I mean cute like a kid kinda cute, sweet kinda cute , know what I mean?). Best looking band of the era . Nirvana was a good looking band but that was solely bc of kurt I don't think the others were good looking, not my taste anyway, but Kurt was SOOOO good looking he carried them in that department.
@Gisselle S Apparently Jer Jer got a whooping "10 unit down there!
@@christar9527 um completely disagree, he is so good looking, he is the hottest to me. It's obviously based on preference.
In this Cable Access TV show in February’91 AIC looked so happy and Layne was still sparkly! It’s tragic to see what happened to him because of drugs. In ‘91, the only Kardashian wasting space on TV was Robert Kardashian Sr., who was O.J. Simpson’s defense attorney in the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. It’s amazing how many people are just in our faces today because of their parents. Layne and the boys would have hated it! Love These guys!
Fantastic interview. LOVED IT. God Layne was so freaking funny!
Pre drugs Layne is the best
He was definitely using here just not heavily into skag or crack yet. The whole tragedy with Layne is truly heartbreaking.
The mtv unplugged session the most epic/heartbreaking performance
no matter what the interviewer was like, guys were really wicked and funny :)) seems like they haven't changed much with fame... even Layne hasn't lost his humorous side, no matter how his life twisted in later years... thank you for upload, i want to think about them the way they were in this video
(non-native english speaker)
i haven't laughed this hard at an interview before lmao
I’m Guamanian, it’s cool that they went to Guam a few times and they talk about it like they really enjoyed the island.
Its like Jerry didn't get the memo to dress like a rock star for this interview lol the rest of the guys are in black and looking sleek and Jerry looks like he just got out of bed
The interviewer sounds blazed
Its funny how the interviewer recites the "great Seattle bands" like Soundgarden, Tad etc.
To this point, AIC sold 1.5x as many records as Soundgarden, Tad never made it big. They're both great bands tho.
This has got to be one of my favorite interviews. They are hilarious.
I love how Mike looks like that one team member who doesn’t even know what he’s doing there or what day it is 😂🖤he looks hella bored
Thank you SO very much for uploading!
I Love u Mike Starr & Jerry Cantrell!!!!
Jeeeez, I sure do miss you Layne ! Love you babe ! alice.
Great upload. Thanks a lot.
OMG....This is the best video i have found of AIC, it's the longest and most funniest video i've seen them in! LMAO, layne says, i think i chew my corn enough, but apparently not....he was the coolest! Missing the best.....!
8:04 sean is hilarious
never seen this thanks for unploading! this is awesome haha
in february 91 there was no ten or nevermind yet
There was a Facelift though, AIC the true torchbearers of grunge despite revisionist history
I get soooooo fucking annoyed when people say Alice In Chains wouldn’t be successful without Nirvana bringing the spotlight to Seattle. They went GOLD with Man in the Box a whole year before nirvana even came out. It’s undeniable that AIC was the first successful band in the grunge era.
Warren Pellacani well you tell those people how AIC went to open for Ozzy and Iggy AND KISS, while Soundgarden and Nirvana were still just trying to hold it together to make an album.
Also, AIC LITERALLY refined the word “alternative rock” (coined by radio stations and Labels) in the early 90’s.
They SLAYED Thrash Metal and Hair Metal. Topped their charts and made them change the way they played and toured altogether...
Might I mention WHILE AIC was touring with them. 👍🏻😀
Gisselle ST I didn’t put down nirvana at all dumbass. I just gave credit it where it was due.
Gisselle ST I actually like nirvana but people saying they made Alice In Chains is false and revisionist history.
I love the footage rest in peace Layne and Mike it's kind of hard for him to shave cuz he's got dreads in his crotch totally priceless was blessed enough to see them on tour for the dirt album very upset when I heard the news rest in peace guys rock on Jerry
this sound quality is like sooo damn good!
like.......its just amazing!
I love that the interviewers matched their energy
I love this video. Haha. Greatest interview ever.
Dr. Mike: (auscultating layne's heart) This man's bladder is on the fritz
Layne: I think it's my femur doc.
i love that part (and in general their absurd humor) from 3:00 until 3:20 and then Mike ''check 1, 2, check''
Mike was so board!
the greatest of all time AIC video...raw and funny as usual!
I love this interview! So funny!
Best interview !!!🖤😂
interviewer: "so do you have any good like..."
Sean: " No! No.. None... " :)) lol
awesome footage XD
This whole interview is pure fucking GOLD
Sweet sense of humor !
Friggin goobers! Loving it. Oooh layne 🥰
Am I the only one that remembers "Bohemia After Dark"? They showcased local alternative rock. I would have been a loyal viewer if it was easier to find.
the interviewer is the worst ever
I got to agree with you on that...where did this guy get his press pass from?
Yes he is.
No shit, Jerry kinda takes over at one point and saves us a couple more agonizing questions. The interviewer sounds he just got shot up with novicaine.
Jeez imagine the conversation after that dude left the room. What a toolbox lol
Wonder if that toy stethoscope is on eBay for 5 grand? Lol
12:03 oh sean lol.
Yo también lo sigo amando aún Hoy.
3:49 man I’m feeling like a odd bird cuz DM and Cure were all my favorites.
And at 16-17 AIC became the best fav for life.
No other band hit the Same since.
wow awesome never seen this
Que lindooooooo que estaba Layne♥
oregon is my home town!
very good point, well said...
Fuck! I miss this band in this incarnation. Death sucks. I love AIC they were the best 90s band bar none. They were the Zeppelin of that time. Darker but reflective. Would give anything to watch an AIC show with Layne in his prime.
They were more like the Sabbath of their time... Soundgarden is the Zeppelin of that era.
Ricky Rocket drums hahaha
They are the funniest guys!
Gawd laaaayyynnee.. 😍🤤😋💓
yes, but that was because Layne apparently begged Mike not to call 911...
Me too!!
LOL Jerry looks at Layne when in does that xD
3:17 you can tell the interviewer had nothing to say about that. Classic Alice In Chains humor!
8:02 lmao sean is low key
Layne Staley
22/08/1967
05/04/2002
Rock on Nikki !!! i will send u a video of me and my band too ;)
The interviewer sounds like a Kardashian & Ben Stein.
Just as I have already said, the Korn project was created/produced by not only Jimmy Page, but some others as well, such as Ritchie Blackmore, Layne, Jerry and a few other artists, just like Layne and Jerry just said in this footage, which makes perfect sense.
Jerry is the stone-cold serious dood... MStarr and Layne were just goofy! hehe Sean is also very funny, but serious next to Jerry. hehe Layne's masturbation impulses made me cough-laughing while eating! hehe
never seen this before, and i thought i had seen everything! and a question, why can't this be downloaded?
See Jerry is promoting the bands videos
Theyre fucking hilarious. I would love to have been able to chill and have a beer with them.
Yeah we went to Maine
