Alice in chains i stay away5/16/2023 ![]() ![]() The female companion sports the best headwear however: a Kanye-type face mask with a series of spouts on the scalp that puff smoke throughout the video. The main imagery revolves around a mad scientist and his fembot assistant, both of whom wear bizarre helmets. The last music video featuring vocalist Layne Staley before the split of the band and his death, "Get Born Again" brings out all the heavy metal imagery, as befits the most underrated of all Alice in Chains songs. It's the sort of thing you could also win for selling like 10,000 subscriptions for your middle school magazine drive but we'd rather just buy it.Ġ3) Smoking helmet from "Get Born Again" (1999) About as wide as a typical PVC-pipe, the opaque tubes come in a variety of neon colors and run floor-to-ceiling, doing nothing else but produce bubbles. Instead we're curious to get our hands on those bubble tubes that pop up throughout the video. "Again" features a number of nice touches for a band that accidentally inspired most of the nu metal movement: A hanging, plexiglass cage for the band to perform in, accompanied by a huge swinging spotlight and strobes aplenty. Of course, we could also buy our own skeleton and put a hat on it instead of shelling out for this particular piece of memorabilia. It's as if the owner was trying to build a replica model of Slash from the Appetite for Destruction album cover and stopped after the hat. One prop really catches the eye in an otherwise forgettable video: a science lab human skeleton wearing a top hat. It's a collection of footage of the band hanging out in a somewhat arid environment, as grungy as you would expect from the band. Thus it's somewhat interesting the band opted out of its typical heavy metal video shenanigans when shooting for this single off of Dirt. "Down In A Hole" is an unusually dour song, even by Alice in Chains' standards. There are some items from the classic Alice in Chains videography that we wouldn't mind getting our hands on however.Ġ5) Skeleton from "Down In A Hole" (1993) Nor is "Angry Chair" even one of the better songs on Dirt. The chair, albeit named in the song title, isn't anything grand like the Iron Throne or similar. Ultimately we, as huge Alice in Chains fans, have to question how much a beat up piece of furniture is worth. He requests interested buyers contact him with their favorite Alice in Chains album, as "money isnt important to me, just want to give the angry chair a good home." It will also cost you $1,500, which for the record is not important to him. ![]() ![]() ![]() One lister has made a few headlines by putting the titular chair from the '92 single "Angry Chair" for sale (he was a production assistant on set, apparently). Such as authentic memorabilia from Alice in Chains music videos apparently. It really was one of the best concerts I have ever seen in my life.You find anything on eBay or Craigslist. As an encore, they ended up with Dirt, Rooster, and Would. That was followed by an intermission showcasing a compilation of Layne Staley videos that made the audience take a trip down memory lane.Īfterwards, they returned to continue stirring the masses with We Die Young, Heaven Beside You, Angry Chair, and Man in The Box. But there was still more!Īlice in Chains returned with an acoustic set including Don't Follow, Brother, No Excuses, Killer is Me, I Stay Away, Got Me Wrong, and Down in a Hole. At this point, the entrance was already paid for. To begin with, an electric set including Bleed the Freak, Grind, It Ain't Like That, Junkhead, Nutshell (very emotional), Them Bones, Dam That River, and Rain When I Die. The setlist included practically all Alice in Chains’ hits. Indeed, his voice is very similar to the irreplaceable Layne Staley. If I had any doubts about the reformed band and its new lead singer William DuVall, they all disappeared as soon as guitarist Jerry Cantrell, drummer Sean Kinney, bassist Mike Inez, and William DuVall took the stage. After a countdown from 10, Alice in Chains started with an aggressive version of Again (hey, let me do it again, yeah!) ![]()
