Alice in Chains - Junkhead

Can't re-post this one enough..

One of the greatest guitar solos of all time. And so much else. For so many reasons, it's top-10 of all-time.

More Cowbell Junkhead

OK - I've made many a post about Junkhead, but this might be the forth, and I think they're all different. There is a point. It's one of my favorites now for a while.. and has probably moved into my top-10 all-time.

I almost always post the original. This time I give you the same remarkable performance, but 15 years later. And yes it's without Layne Staley. But the song remains the same. They all did a super job here.

Full screen is mandatory!



Watch Layne.. Watch him close the whole song.....

Watch Jerry's solo.. Jerry's rhythm.. the structure!.. There isn't a better live recording of Alice in Chains. Period.

Now check out this live recording from 2006 - 15 years later. The same awesome song - their best. William DuVall proves his case here. And they reproduce the exact same sound as from 1991. Cantrell included! Cantrell, especially..



There will probably be more Alice In Chains reviews. I play the best. So come back.

Alice In Chains - Junkhead

Simply a classic! The loss of Layne Staley is in my eyes just as horrible if not worse than than the loss of Kurt Cobain. This guy and this band were a collection of geniuses. Alice In Chains lives on today through the voices of Jerry Cantrell, and Layne's superb replacement, William DuVall. Every new one they come out with has Staley's influence in it - you can hear it. A lot of it is Cantrell's writing, but the sound lingers on, and on, and on.

All we get from Nirvana is the same ol' stuff from 20 years ago. I have to blame most of that on 99.5 Kiss - the main local rock station here. Their playlist coordinator needs to resign asap.
