Layne Staley loads up with as much air as possible before exploding into this chorus. All while keeping it melodic and crisp. Layne easily had one of the greatest screams in rock history. Just imagine rocking your instrument and hearing your lead singer explode like that. Must’ve been absolutely unreal for Jerry Cantrell and the rest of the band. Raw talent on every end. The song was inspired by lead singer Layne Staley’s impressions of both censorship and meat consumption, but saying the song is “about” either of those things would be stretching the facts. Staley didn’t like it when musicians got political because he didn’t feel they (including himself) should be preaching about things they weren’t qualified to elaborate on. The final lyrics for “Man In The Box” are rather opaque, but Staley did explain the meaning. The video for “Man In The Box” got the attention of Sammy Hagar, who invited Alice in Chains to tour with him. It was the biggest opportunity the group had seen up to that point and fulfilled a childhood dream long held by Staley. Unfortunately, it’s also believed that during the ensuing tour, Staley started messing with heroin and taking his first steps down a road that would eventually kill him. RIP Layne.
