Jerry Cantrell's riffs were darker and sludgier drummer Sean Kinney and bassist Mike Starr's rhythms lumbered like an elephant trudging through molasses and Layne Staley's raw-throated wail was agonized in a way that was almost painful to listen to. The band's second full-length overall, it built and expanded upon the template they had laid out on their 1990 debut, Facelift, in the process jacking up the intensity and raw emoting to incredible, and at times uncomfortable, extremes.
But when it comes to the bands that make up the Big Four of grunge, none ever unleashed an album as monolithic and downright harrowing as Alice in Chains' 1992 masterpiece, Dirt. Sorry for the rant, I'm just surprised their unplugged performance has affected me in this way.Nirvana's Nevermind may have been more seismic, Soundgarden's Superunknown more experimental, and Pearl Jam's Ten more successful.
So far this week, I've listened to their 1st 4 albums. I've only listened to the hits, so going through every album is going to be a treat. The gibson interview with Jerry Cantrell was excellent in describing how they all came together. I have no idea why or how I've never watched or listened to the unplugged set, but it rivals queen live aid imo. I've been watching all things aic for a week straight. To see him in that much pain, sent me down the YouTube rabbit hole. To actually see Layne Staley is that mental and physical state, and give that kind of performance was incredible. A week ago YouTube recommended the alice in chains unplugged performance. I've always been a fan, but never really had any details about the band other than the lead singer dying. There's a few times in life you stumble on a musical performance that just reaches your soul. When in doubt, use common sense and don't be a jerk.
