A performance that becomes eerie when you realise he's singing about being at his own funeral for being so hopelessly addicted to Heroin.

Jerry is a really good singer. Layne is in another stratosphere

Blessings and Miracles do happen everyday, after 15 + years of Heroin and eventually Fentanyl addiction, Prison Saved my life. Many friends were not as fortunate. God bless their souls!

Cool story except that JERRY WROTE IT ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP ffs

I just love Layne's voice..

@grok, would you please put to rest the myth that this song is about Layne Staley's drug addiction struggles?

AIC unplugged was epic

AIC was the greatest band to come from the grunge era. Most of the rest are unlistenable trash

He was the Alpha, but heroin the omega. I grew up around these guys, friends with their friends etc. One buddy of mine was their studio security guard at night. He quit! Why? Even being a partier himself… he was BURNED OUT in just a couple months dealing with them

Yeah that's not what it's about.

Oh FFS so dramatic and untrue! Cantrell wrote the song for his girlfriend.

Actually, it is a song about pussy.

I’ve seen this a hundred times and I still stop to watch it all the way through. Wow

It also opens with nutshell. I interpret that song as being about friends who get high with you but are never there when you’re dealing with the addiction. That’s why at first the “we” is emphasized than after the lyrics say “yet I fight this battle all alone”

Fuck off jewish faggot.

When we were watching this we didn’t know at the time he was slowly dying a little bit everyday.

I was a heroin addict for a good 5 years. 25 years to opiates in general.

"And yet I fight, and yet I fight This battle all alone No one to cry to No place to call home"

All the songs he played on felt that way.. studio included

Could be interpreted that way but the band once said its about sex 👀

Fuck Israel

How do you even perform music when you're so numbed out by opiates

This is a dark song

… what a top outfit… loved em.. great tune..

Hands down the best acoustic session this series had

So sad

Favorite song by them

Jason, Hola. Saca esa bandera Culia Fea! Pura Mierda.

I was 24 when this came out. Celebrity death never affected me before or since, but Layne's dearh hit hard and always stayed with me.

Addiction… it wants us dead.

Jerry Cantrell actually wrote this song about a rough breakup. Angry Chair is more about addiction and Layne Staley wrote that one himself.

Shut the fuck up dickhead and just enjoy the fucking song
