Alice In Chains ~ 'What the Hell Have I'

WHAT WAS LAYNE STALEY LIKE AS A PERSON?

He was such a bright light. He had just the bluest eyes. He lived for humor. The main thing for me was just his laugh. You could hear it all the way across the room, and there was just, like, realness to it. He was just such a real human being, and such a good human, too. He never had an ulterior motive. He'd never do any racist jokes. I never heard him talk shit about anybody. He was always very supportive of other bands. He wasn't the kind of guy to want to be the center of attention. He was really kind of a low-key guy. He just had an amazing vibe.

Remember 'The Nona Tapes' by Alice In Chains?

'The Nona Tapes' (1995) is a mockumentary directed by Rocky Schenck, originally created to promote the band's self-titled album.

Plot: Journalist Nona Weisbaum (played by Jerry Cantrell) is on a quest to "find some Seattle rock stars" for a breakthrough story. Throughout the video, Weisbaum scours the streets of Seattle and eventually finds and interviews all members of Alice In Chains.

With: Jerry Cantrell, Layne Staley, Sean Kinney, Mike Inez

"Again"

off their self-titled 1995 album, Again was the sixth track and third single released. The song achieved recognition and general praise including a 1997 Grammy nomination for best hard rock performance. Unfortunately, the song is known to have only been performed live up to 5 times with the original vocals of Layne. 

The music video, directed by Layne Staley and George Vail, released in March of 1996. The video was nominated for MTV Music Awards’ Best Hard Rock Video of the year. It would be the final music video filmed with Layne Staley. 

To me, the song has always reminded me of the predictability of violation. My favorite part (besides the all-consuming holler where Layne changes notes mid scream, transitioning the song into a new melody) is the little ‘Doot Doot’ harmony between Layne and Jerry. I’m not sure what it reminds me of, but definitely something I’d expect from a song of a different genre.
