He had the look and smile of a sweet little innocent child. The world is such a cruel place. Love you Layne. Jerry's battle is amazing.
R. D. I really love him, too. Layne was just an adorable angel 💕💜
R. D. He really did have such a young innocent face, such a beautiful person, not just looks wise, he had everything going for him, funny, extremely talented, and very good looking but just so innocent looking too, I never thought his face matched his voice but regardless he had the most amazing voice
amanda ramey agreed!! his wide eyes and smile make me so happy...and when i listened to “would?” (my first aic song i heard) i expected some rough looking guy...and then i looked him up and was surprised with how handsome he was!!
Wasn't't the world's fault, it was his.
@@-boba-9029 Demri had to fights the chicks off Layne...
2:35 "we'll even take drummers." I laughed my ass off at that part
Yeah, me too
Haha yup
Hahahaha me too. I love it, Jerry is awesome.
And then they cut to Sean with a dumb look onhis face lmao
"When this record comes out, what will people notice most about it?"
"The songs, I hope they notice there's new songs on the record" LOLLLLL
Eunice Moreira lmao omg I'm dying I cracked up at that part. They are all smart assed in s great way hahaha
Eunice Moreira timestamp?
Loved that!
THE SAWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGS

Man, the life had really started to catch up with Layne at that point. I wish I could thank him for pulling me out of the darkest days of my life with his lyrics. It’s easy to talk shit about an addict, but when you do, remember that you’re making fun of a sick person. And a fellow human being. We only have one world to share. Try to put some positivity into it.
good words man 👍
He didn't write the lyrics, Jerry the guitarist wrote the words and music
An Dlí Dearmadta on this album, Layne wrote all the lyrics except 3 songs.
Layne wrote most of the lyrics to this album and approximately 50% of all the other albums lyrics. Layne even wrote several songs completely by himself including Angry Chair, Hate to Feel and Head Creeps
Jeremy Hamrick Truth! Layne’s lyrics gave me a voice in my most trouble times, and they still give me a voice today.
"The word grunge just turns me on something fierce" NONA, SAME 😂
😭😭😭
It's great how at the time most people didn't know Jerry was a rancher at heart. Not a race car driver.
I understood that reference! 😂
I'm the guy who fired Jerry from the ranch actually....we got into an argument, we had our words, a common spat....so I kissed him upside the cranium with an aluminium baseball bat
After that my name was Mud
I cut you in!
no, but he did drink a lot of pork soda.
I heard he wanted to be a fisherman
I love how Nona’s personality is being a mild mannered elderly woman who’s into “rock boys” and S&M.
LOL ikr
Aren't we all.
"You can't prove that!" ~~ Sean Kinney
Jerry makes one helluva woman 🤣
lmaoo
Love Sean Kinney sense of humor.
And Layne, "...Whatever you think it's about, that's what it's about"
I Think he was just scared to tell what's really about...
Savin Petru pretty much half the album is about the band falling apart, self destructing so it makes sense unfortunately
@@savinpetru6512 no…it IS whatever we think it’s about…that is how it takes on personal meaning. It’s no good to us otherwise…It’s one of my favourite things I ever heard.
I love how even in Layne's state he finds Jerry amusing. That sweet little knowing smile says it all about the love between these guys.
I know exactly what you’re talking about. I had to rewatch it, so adorable ❤
got a dime?@@GeekFreeek
Can we take a moment to appreciate how cute Jerry is with the cat?
omg yes
YESSS!! very precious :^) 🖤
He's got 2 (or more) cats at home too. They probably work better with his crazy travel schedule than a dog would.
CAn we?? We have to have consent
Wow, Jerry and Sean are legit good actors. Very entertaining, guys.
Sean has a really good sense of humour
Well Jerry had a oscar worry role in Jerry Mcguire and literally stole the movie. No one can even remember who else was on that movie because Jerry just blew whoever was the main actor away
@@Monchi2006 Agreed. I mean, the movie was basically named after him.
@@TheCarlosCobain indeex. It was oeiginally titled "Tommy Mcguire" who knows why
Yeah...in case that "band thing" ever goes belly up. Oops.
Sean Kinney is the right kind of troll. This band had more personality than most.
Sean kinney is the krist novoselic of this band, bands like pearl jam and soundgarden didnt really have that troll jokester that nirvana and aic had. Even kurt cobain was a troll and so was jerry
@@mr.mustang656 Cobain trolled a whole crowd by singing teen spirit an octave or two lower.
@@anotherbigfootwithinternet2147 yeah
@@mr.mustang656 Cobain’s dry humor is a god send.
Sean was a bad ass drummer no doubt. They were the shit
10:08 I'm the man in the box, get it?, get it?
Jack Miller lol
Jack Miller 10:09
he's so adorable
Hahaha I love it. Jerry looks so cute.
Couldn’t help but crack up😂
Can I just go back in time and live perpetually in 1995 forever?
SolarEXtract So do I
wouldn't that be nice.
yes i have been ever since with a dose of this and that
SolarEXtract 1993! The Ramones were together, AIC still had Layne, Amtrak went to Pasadena, LA had the rams and raiders, Metallica still played badass music, GNR were still together, and Johnny cash was still alive
Fuck, I wish i could too this era is getting worse n worse
The amount of sarcasm in this video is so fucking graceful good
Happy 51st Birthday, Layne. Missing that beautiful and raw voice.
jushaw 8895 beautiful soul.
this hurts
It's rough how absent Layne is on this, but Jerry, Sean, and Mike are hilarious. I love how they troll the shit out of the whole interview circuit crap
Armando Castro truly is brother truly
He was still goofy and funny. I doubt he ever lost that quality , even in the last years. Playing metal gear solid all dayyy haha
Circus yeah. All he did was play video games, (mgs), and shootspeedballs.
@E Fox You can't really talk about something, if you weren't there. They know what happened, and no relationship is perfect. And at the end of the day, it's nobody's business. Just enjoy their music, man!
@E Fox how can you say he was sober when they literally went to a bar?🤦
He did have the face of an innocent child. Seen the picture of Layne and Demri blowing bubbles makes me cry when I look at Laynes innocent face. The people that knew him say that he was very sweet and a gentleman. I really wish that drugs would have never touched his life. He would have gotten so many awards for his Amazing vocals and have had a lot of fun, I bet. I hope you fund peace and Demri wherever you are our dear Layne.
Well said, he was so charming and talented💖
you all should take your pink glasses off. layne can seem sweet and all, and maybe he was to his friends, but he could be very misogynist and homophobic when he felt like it. i love aic music and layne's voice, but layne isn't the angel you all think he was.
@@molmolsmolsesDo you have any examples of those behaviors in Layne?
@@AvecPoesie czcams.com/video/BUg8-GQQ_pc/video.htmlsi=v4VECPKfttyUlmp1
@@molmolsmolsesnobodies perfect
JERRY'S a natural actor.. damn talented!
Why did it take me 10 minutes to realise that Jerry is nona wtf
Grant Heyns took me years
For me it was 9:30 before i realized it.
The comments at 13.00
It took me longer than that . When he said Redbook and Sassy ...I spat out my coffee.
Lol read this comment and realized
14:04 "Which women are great? which is your favourite?"
"The ones with ' all access' passes on them"
Lol Layne
I misheard it as "all axes" and thought so he likes black metal?
Lol Layne is the only one who can get away with saying that.
@@nen7736 Idk about the only one, I think it would’ve been totally in character for Sean or Jerry to say that, the whole band had really great sense of humor
I was surprised he was present enough to deliver such answer. He seemed away most of the time.
@@NotDaveGahanthat’s kind of his vibe. He was always high, but he was pretty damn funny. If you watch interviews with him, he has a lot of sharp sarcasm.
4:10 can we just appreciate that jerry decided to wear heels
Nona’s accent switches from Seattle to England to New York hahaha
Tripod was so dark, but probably my favorite AiC album. Songs like Shame in You and Frogs just hit me in the soul.
You’re right, it is a dark record. More-so then Dirt. In fact, that spoken word outro on “Frogs”, Layne sounds like he’s way pissed off at someone.
It's my fav too
I thought it was self titled? I have never heard of any of their albums named Tripod am I missing something?
@@SoUnDMaN831 and Head Creep. That thing could be the soundtrack to a William Gibson Cyberpunk movie. Jerry should go into writing soundtracks....
@@goudagirl6095 Head Creeps is another good one. You’re right about the vibe of it. Although it’s one of the few songs Layne wrote himself.
Jerry dressed as Nona makes me love him even more!
When they made this you could tell Layne was barely holding it together. He breaks my heart. When he joined Mad Season they were all in recovery except Layne and they had hoped they could help him.
Sad thing is, he didn't want help. I think he was resigned to dying.
"Slow suicide's no way to go". Everyone around him knew and nothing helped. The worst thing about the end of his life is how alone he really was. To have been dead that many days and the only reason anyone knew was because there was no activity on his checking account.
Rest in peace
Yea 2 weeks til they found his body
@@snacpaczack8264 And only because there had been no activity on his bank account 😭
Us addicts push everyone that cares about and loves us away the drugs are all that matter
Apparently it Was long timeMike Starr who found him dead
Great documentary. Now i suddenly realized that Layne Staley was the kindest introvert i've ever seen in my life.
What a great man he was. So sad.
Well said 😊
Being an introvert and addict myself I feel forever bonded to Laynes essence. I am from Seattle and have been listening to AIC since 1995.
I'll never get bored by this!! Jerry being Nona is simply amazing
no way it's Jerry Cantrell🙀
@@BonaldDrump Im starting to realize he is an unusual person even though he sounds like a regular, working-class guy in interviews, to write those riffs and songs..and then he can play this female character so well, he's a secret genius.
@@joejones9520 Exactly, he's good at everything he does
omfg
Layne looks really innocent and like a child
“That word grunge just turns me on something fierce.” 😂 Gotta love jerry
Lol that was also my favorite part
Jerry is a born actor. No wonder he played some roles in the movies.
and it's weird how thruout the yrs it's hard to pin point exactly what he looks like, same as Eric Clapton, changing looks perpetually.
@@joejones9520 Nah, i actually think Jerry has never changed his iconic long hair look.
@@TheStepmonkey he had very short hair in early 2000's.
@@joejones9520 and in like 2014 or so
Poor Layne, he was keeping it real. But he was thin, pale, and you can really see how his teeth have shifted. He had a short, hard life. Love Jerry Nona, too much.
layne knew freedom in a way most of us have no chance of..he did what he wanted with money he earned solely from his talents and hard work not from working for the man.
@joe jones ♥️🌟
@@joejones9520
Rotting away in your 20s trapped in neverending suffering is hardly "freedom." By 1996 he was 27/28 years old but looked and moved like a very ill, frail 90 year old. Oh yeah, he really experienced "freedom."
He was under contractual obligations which also is a lot worse in many ways than "working for the man."
@@kat3871 obviously youve never worked for the man...
That bit with the car and Sean being dragged into it by Nona is an amazing piece of footage. The comedy timing combined with very decent stunt work
right, and crawling over the trunk, he couldve fallen out...
10:13 laynes just a kid
9:10 lmao I love how Mike catches himself and saves the shot
I thought I was the only one who caught that
@@mikehunt8247 I don't get it.
so good! 😂
Grandmaster Hash he said “jerry” because that’s who’s playing the woman and he answered with his real name but quickly turned it into a statement because he’s supposed to act like the man dressed as a woman is real and not jerry.
john boreman hahaha never noticed that. They’re so damn cute.
How come Nona never interveiwed jerry??
He was working at the farm
She couldn't find the famous Rock Guitarist...to big and busy for Nona
He was getting born again.
Mark Garcia he is Nona:)
Shut your mouth Kevin Coady, that's blasphemy, don't speak about Jerry like that
Alice In Chains! Their music always reminds me of blues, wood, rust, hope, decay, bogs, greens, reds, farmhouses, and gritty. In the best possible way.
and DRUGS! It's the most druggie sounding music Ive ever heard, I dont think many people realize this.
Yes!!
The "darkest" band with the best sense of humor ever.
Sean's face when Layne says the ones with all access passes on them hahaha
If Layne made that joke today imagine all the snowflake dumbasses that would try to cancel him.
Who's here after Nona's reappearance on Alice's mopop tribute show last night??? This fine lady has surely aged like fine wine! So glad she kept an eye on Alice boys!😂
Me 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
8:03 "I hit things with sticks" love you guys...
“You can’t prove that.” Hahahahahha
I hit things with sticks. Then he smiles lol
Not even funny how much Jerry passes as a woman lmao
I was just watching Jerry Maguire the movie... and I was like: Holy Shit! Thats gotta be Jerry Cantrell! And googled it, I was right!
Thats jerry?????
SMH 🤦🏽♀️ Ikr at first I had no idea! The boys will always be boys! ❤️🥰
I spilled my drink when i saw him in that outfit...Looking fly.Smashable for sure! :D
The Everchosen lmao ikr I was like....is that Jerry...🤣
2:50 God, he was so incredibly gorgeous, especially when he smiled ❤️
This video is a time capsule, I love it!
It indeed is ...
Yes, for sure wow l
Layne's eyes were so fucking big and beautiful!
We hardly see them he usually always wears his sunglasses even at night n during shows!
Gayyyy
Yes. Angel eyes
And the colour is really cool. It’s Jade
Thats what I think every time I see them! They were amazing
Nona is officially on Vevo, she must be so proud 😂
Damn right
You can tell Jerry as "Nona" creeped Layne the hell out lol!
"I'm dumbfounded by me, all the time...WOW"
Haha
Reid Garwin lol I know “WOW”. Music n these fellas WOW
After I read in David de Sola's book about how, in his final years, Layne would go to this comic book store near his condo and just shuffle around, high on dope and look at cool stuff, knock things over and then buy whatever caught his attention... my heart was hurting so much that I needed to watch this again to cheer myself up. There's just something about that scene I think we can all relate to cause when you're in this really dark place, stuff from your childhood and childlike things can make you feel better in a way that no drug can. I don't know if I can really describe why picturing him in that store just is do immensely sad but I hope I'm not the only one who feels that way. It's like, he had nothing to live for at that moment but he still tried to make himself feel a bit better.
Even though Layne's clearly a bit absent in this video, he's still joking around and Jerry as Nona and Sean as the clown are literally one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.
I love Layne but when I think about his 'last days' makes me so so sad. I think no one really helped him especially after Demri died :(
um no he was just in the comic book store cause he liked that stuff.... youre making it way deeper than it actually is
@@hilarycurtis6768 lots of people tried to help him Sean, Jerry, Mike McCready to name a few. But Laynes addiction was too much, he just cut off everyone and stop answering knocks or calls, nothing you can do as a friend in that situation when an addict has given up on living it's very sad.
He breaks my heart. You can tell he was resigned to dying. He always looks so lost. I see him and I just want to wrap him in a cozy blanket and hug him. I don't know if he ever truly understood just how loved he was.
What book was that?
“We’ll even take drummers” had me ROLLING.
The alcoholic clown gets me every time.
10:09 “i’m the man in the box... get it? get it?” jerry is so precious
layne. such a beautiful soul ❤
He was an ugly dope fiend.
@@jdhed1601 i find you again🤣🤣🤣 c'mon just look his hair, he was so handsome ❤
JDHED1 he’s 10 times more good looking than you
@@jdhed1601 What a dick you are. He had one great voice on him and was a sweet soul. He sadly got introduced to the worst drug ever that changed him and losing his girlfriend I personally believe caused him alot of depression. You cant ignore the talent he had.
Missing Layne so much. It hits you right in the heart. Even after all this time.. Layne was so beautiful. He had the most hauntingly beautiful voice
Spent all day listening to Alice in Chains just to see this video being uploaded. My favourite band ever!
That's what I'd call a miracle
Jerry Cantrell is a pretty lady.
Well...only if you're very very very drunk
he means that jerry cantrell is nona
mohd fahmi bin yim Really? We know, silly...it's just you don't get the joke.
Phlem Phlam ur a ghoul
Anybody wish they could quantum leap back and help Layne in some way? Someone with a voice like that only live 34 years is simply tragic.
I have a feeling that ANY of us would kill to help him, but all the effort of friends and family seemed in vane 😢
Drag Jerry is the best drag
Drag Jerry is the best Jerry 👌
@@90skidwithaguitar Damn I'm 5 months too late.
facts
12:02 ‘I was getting to that yup. I am. Happy. I think I’m gonna cry’ 😂 love his sense of humor.
Guys make dark scary music but have a great sense of humour.
natty boyo I love there music, It soothes me..
Dark scary music? lol no
Are you a kid?
It is dark and scary, it's some heavy shit but its amazing
natty boyo Coming from experience, most people who, personally, are “Dark” tend to always be cracking jokes around other people, and usually have a pretty good humor. I’ve come to find that people who are extreme on one side of whatever spectrum, are very easily able to also go, or relate into the other side. Sad thing is, most people who are always making joke, are also sometimes the most depressed people as well.
Sean Kinney is SO
HILARIOUS ... They. introduced Layne to Nona and told him (he/she) was a production managers (or someone like that) mother or great aunt and Layne believed it for awhile until Nona kept smiling at him. Then he knew 😃😄
💲PRICELESS💲
Really? Awww
And it like creeped Layne the fuck out once he found out
"I came in for a colonic ya know? But they told me the machine was clogged." Hilarious.
"We used every single word multiple times, I don't think we said anything different..." LMAO
I saw Layne's final arena show at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Missouri, on a bill with the original lineup of KISS in 1996. Nobody knew. People complained that the sound was off and basically ignored AiC at the time. They had a reputation of opening for difficult to open for bands. In 1991, I saw them open for Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth. Those fans are not nice. AiC stuck to their guns and won over many thrash metal fans including fans of Slayer, the hardest crowd to please in all of rock at the time.
Thrash is Trash
Can’t spell Thrash without trash 🗑
They was awesome on the clash of the titans tour.
@@Voidliife Well, AiC wasn't anti-thrash, because they could've picked a slower band like Skid Row to open for like STP did.
@@Voidliife you show'd them. i also dislike the music that i dislike, we have this in common
No matter Layne 's untimely death he had the best voice of his generation and the music Alice in Chains created is incredible and stands the test of time.
Thank you to Jerry or whoever operates this channel for posting this, you guys are all great people
Layne's voice relaxs me, That's how I picture him in Heaven chilling like the "grind" video
You can see that Layne wasn't feeling well. That feeling you get when you're sick and your body aches and you just want to take a hot bath and wear a blanket all day.
Heroin withdraws
Dude, you realize they were all acting and playing into the video? Everyone wants to find morbidity in nearly every video that has Layne, that’s sad
@@GeekFreeekBlind Martha could see that he’s a pathetic junkie here lmao.
"when this record comes out what will people notice most about it?"
"the songs"
So funny cos it’s so dumb 😂
This never fails to crack me up! I still find it hard to believe that Jerry, in particular, was fearless enough to do this. Priceless!
I love this documentary. They all are soooo funny, and Layne is so funny, sweet, and beautiful
I can never get enough of that godly riff in "Heaven Beside You." (22:30).
Hilarious - Sean and Jerry are comedy gold!
"The songs were about things that we're think when we wrote down and When u listening whatever you think it's about... THAT'S what is about" Layne ❤ Best Band EVER!
Thanks for posting this!
theyre such an amazing band!!! but they come in a close second place to nirvana, the all time best band of all time ever
Layne's eyes look so pure on this video. He was too pure maybe.
Maybe that's why people called him angel I think. His soul was beautiful as much as his voice and face. RIP
They say people on h are zombies with beautiful eyes
So was his heroin
Jk I'm sorry Layne, I saw the comedic opportunity and your are an angel.
@@nen7736 well what makes you think that
@@nen7736 you can't judge from relationship and the way he carried himself but speech patterns and expressions, I guess so.
Layne is the only person I ever heard that gets his newspaper delivered to his house at night time…
My grandpa did. And in Oklahoma
Not-so-fun-fact: The sound-engineer of this event almost died during the filming, he was in the trunk for the whole time and lost conciousness from breathing in too much carbon monoxide.. :/
everyone opening the trunk and he rolls out unconscious: :o

So badass! Please upload the official video for Angry Chair.

MajorPhilGraves YES
and it happen...
Jerry is so beautiful. I love Layne. And he's beautiful as well. But Jerry has always been my favorite. I can't meet Layne, but hopefully I'll get to see AIC live one day.
Jerry is indeed beautiful.
These guys are awesome live I seen them with the new singer though it’s like there one big engine turning on and running fluid together when they play it’s really cool.
I got to see them in September 2018... very close to the stage! Have some awesome pictures of Jerry!
Sorry to see Laynes teeth starting to go bad, but wow he was so angelic like, bit Sean is hilarious stays in character the whole time
Best show I've seen. It was without Layne in 2007 but it fuckin rocked
Sean is one of the funniest guys I've ever seen 😂
That clown bit had me rolling 🤣
Jerry Cantrell is and always has been my favorite guitar player of all time, absolutely convinced me that I could do it myself as I saw him step farther and farther in front and take lead.
Damn layne why are you gone you left on this rock all alone.
"We're all alone..." - Mad Season
died - aic
Queen of the Rodeo..... sorry, I just saw Jerry all dressed up.
Mella Han such a sad song
"I think imma cry" lol
Omg this is timelessly funny. Props to Jerry! Comedian at heart and good one!
Man, I love this band! I totally wish I wasn't born in 1989. Layne had that iconic voice! Now, I really wish I could've heard more of his voice. Total legends!!!
Hilarious!!! Jerry is one funny dude!
Rick W sean is a funny dude too..even mikey had his funny moments.good grief i love em all
Such a great band. I love they had this silly side and when they hit the stage they were all business. Godsmack stole their everything
When Godsmack first came out I loved the song "whatever", but thought Stone Temple Pilots and Alice in Chains should file a joint lawsuit against them for throwing their sounds in a blender and passing it off as new music.
Holy shit. Jerry on the brick cell phone at @ 9:50 just made me feel so old...
i love how alice in chains still kicks ass to this very day. can't wait for there new album!
i think so. i heard they were working on a new album this year or next year...
Man if they have all of this little footage I really hope they have the tapes they came from. Would love to see home footage of them in the studio or on tour back in the day. 🖤
Alternative title: boys hanging out and being typical boys together
Nona was the lost Golden Girl we never got to see. Jerry Cantrell is awesome 😊
Jerry's got some SERIOUS acting chops. Sean too.
Jerry Cantrell 😍
Jerry is such a good actor man!
Sean is freaking hilarious. Moon walking in that clown suit and drunk as a skunk in that bar, get it together clown hahaha. Love AIC, bless you Layne and Mike S.
It's about time!!! I still have the VHS
