| Alice in Chains – Over Now Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| Once while listening to this, I thought Jerry said "I saved your life somehow." I went back to listen to it, but the instruments cancelled out his voice. On the Unplugged version, it's still debateable, but I accepted "I seem alive somehow." | |
| Alice in Chains – Frogs Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
The Unplugged version has a different ending: At 7 AM on a Tuesday, an August. Next week, I turn 28. I'm still young. It'll be me Off the wall I scrape. . . you. I gotta wait (wake?). Show me you're afraid. That's my fate Of the day? My fate. . . Never gonna fuck with me again. Don't fuck with me again. (unint.) you. Irate. . . I always heard the wait/wake thing as 'wait'. I was thinking, it might even be "I got away." I don't know what the second-to-last line is. |

| I like the way he does the second "I messed around . . ." couple of lines. | |
| Alice in Chains – Queen Of The Rodeo Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| There's also a studio-ish version, but it's really bad. I don't think it's Alice in Chains (Jerry, Sean Kinney, or Mike Starr) doing it though, one of Layne's former bands. The vocals are really just bad. | |
| Alice in Chains – Would? Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Er, I dunno. The "it's" (or "its") may or may not be there. It's faint on Dirt, and non-existent on Live. I think it's "drifting . . . body, its sole exertion," as in your body's only effort; it might also be "drifting . . . body, its soul exertion." The other combination doesn't make grammatical sense. |

| Alice in Chains – Would? Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| These lyrics are wrong; it's "drifting, body's sole exertion." It's even clearer on Live. | |
| Alice in Chains – Love, Hate, Love Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
This is nice: in the last stanza, it goes "Lost inside my sick head/I live for you but I'm not alive," rather than "but I am dead," which would have rhymed. Also, at the end before Layne sings "Oooh, love, hate, love," he says "Yeah, hey," on the "hey" (5:05), his voice does this nice doubling over thing. |

| Jerry Cantrell – Anger Rising Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Oh yeah, most definitely about a guy who beats his son, who grows up to be abusive, and his son as an adult is fucked up. Each verse is about the son and his problems, but the last is a bit lacking in detail. In the second verse the mother crying could refer to the mother yelling at her husband to quit beating the boy, which is what I thought the first couple of times I heard this, or it could be the child laying in bed listening to his father abuse his mother. I now believe this to be truth for several reasons. During his childhood (verse 1), he vows not to be like his father and abuse his child. However, his anger as a child is now being vented on his wife, because he's pissed that his mother did nothing to stop his father from beating him ("Boy's standing at attention in the corner, [on] his own"). The third guy (generation three) is someone, possibly Jerry, messed up from his childhood experiences and possibly inflicting self abuse. So, essentially, it's about these guy's whose anger management gets progressively better through each generation, but they still have some problems. By the way, I don't think that this song is garbage, just a bit generic and less than what I expected. |

| Jerry Cantrell – Psychotic Break Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I've heard Anger Rising and don't think much of it, but I think this song is decent. The riff is pretty repetitive like a few Alice in Chains songs, and not what I expected though. The vocals are okay, but I really hate the 'Snappin' two-by-fours..." line. The lyrics (of that line) are just terrible, and everytime he says them it sounds very amateurish. | |
| Jerry Cantrell – Anger Rising Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| You've got to realize the way I was looking into this. I wanted to like this song, and I don't hold the view that Layne was the most integral part of Alice in Chains and Jerry can do nothing without him. I was expecting to hear some more awesome music, but I don't like this song. It sounds like Nickelback and a bunch of generic garbage that I can hear on the radio. I've only heard this and Psychotic Break, which I found to be slightly better than this, so I still have hope for the other songs. | |
