Killer. Rooster has to be one of my favorite songs ever - especially from this genre.

Layne's voice bursts through even on this rough bootleg audio. I caught them live around this time. Such a refreshing option with all of that self-absorbed Grunge swilling around. Unlike the others they embraced their metal roots with pride.

Given to him by EVH. Ed gave him a ton of gear.

Man, they were so raw and heavy for that period. We Die Young sounds awesome here!

His stuff with Mad Season was cool as hell too.

Damn, I miss Layne. AIC really was the best thing to come out of Seatle from that era, IMHO.

Jerry Cantrell’s interview on Rick Beato’s channel is really good too if you haven’t seen it.

If it weren't for the tragedy of addictions AIC could have been the Led Zeppelin of that generation. Look at their overall body of work before they began to disintegrate: They could do upbeat, aggressive and even thrashy metal...slower, darker groove oriented metal...straight up rock / hard-rock with flavors of blues and even country mixed in...fantastic and highly emotive ballads and even haunting, fully acoustic pieces. In my opinion, there wasn't a thing they couldn't do musically with proficiency, grace and class. All while sounding highly original in their presentation. Definitely the most influential of the "grunge" (whatever that means) era.

You should check out their 1992 concert at the Palladium in LA, blows my mind how powerful Laynes voice was then. It could have been '93.

The AIC Unplugged session was one of the best. Maybe second to only Nirvana's.
