    Lyrics:
    Like the coldest winter chill
    Heaven beside you, hell within
    Like the coldest winter chill
    Heaven beside you, hell within
    Like the coldest winter will
    Heaven beside you, hell within
    And you think you have it still
    Heaven inside you

      He’s an amazing bassist, it’s weird how some people try to act like he was a downgrade from starr when he is a top tier bass player and he’s played bass on some of their best material jar of flies. Inez is fantastic

      @danegonzales5651 Před 4 lety +96

      Yes!! Jar of Flies is a masterpiece and Nutshell's bass lines are just superb, completely evident in the entire Unplugged. And the fact that he was in Ozzy Osbourne's band before he joined AiC already tells he's an great bass player.

      Tunahan no it’s mike Inez, replaced Starr in 93, this concert is in 96, Inez had a hand in writing some of jar of flies as well, he is a fantastic bassist too, played for ozzy before AiC. Starr was good but Inez was definitely the better bassist

He gave a great performance but he was really struggling with the lyrics that’s why the lyrics are in front of him, Jerry even mentioned it in an interview at some point that he was reading the lyrics.

    • @maxxxmodelz4061
      @maxxxmodelz4061 Před 2 lety +7

      Jerry formed AIC when he heard Layne sing for the first time because he knew Layne's voice was the perfect vehicle for his deep, meaningful lyrics and his voice would compliment Jerry perfectly. It was obviously the best move he could have made. Jerry's voice was also great, but Layne's voice was exactly the style most of the songs needed and fit the era better. If Jerry never met Layne, the band would have never formed. At least not as AIC. Layne was in a band years earlier called Alice N' Chains, kinda like Guns N' Roses. Thank god they got rid of the cliche N' acronym from the name. 🙃

    This is definitely the best unplugged that MTV ever released. And every track from this performance (in my opinion) is better that their respective album versions. Jerry just knows how to write music man. And he put this set list together perfectly. His vocals with Layne backing him (on most tracks) is the perfect combination.

It doesn't get talked about much, because it's just more sympathy for the addict but the pain that addicts feel when they know they hurt the ones they love by doing their addict bullshit. That shit really is brutal. I know I'm killing my parents, I see it in their faces, and that hurts me. The solution is simple but very hard and everytime I do it I feel for them but still do it. It really does look like what you said. He's saying sorry with that gaze and vibe.

Also listening to the down in a hole song he fucked up the chorus Hella times too, saying losing my soul on the losing control part. I feel bad for the guy but I'm sure that played a part in him having that sorry gaze for the whole song. Still love them all. I miss this Era of rock and music in general so much. Even the r&b music was amazing. This was the last decade of genuine human emotion and innocence in music. Never again will there be wholesome and humanity in songs.

    Even if this is one of the last gigs they’d ever do with Layne, it’s the soul and the music of the band that do this performance justice. Just like pure red wine. Gets better every year.
