This video features the tragic Layne Staley at his best. This would be the final music video that he would film with Alice in Chains. Again was a moderate hit for the group, though it was also nominated for a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance.
Director George Vale has also worked with Our Lady Peace, The Tea Party, Danko Jones, Stars, and Broken Social Scene.
Enjoy!
Would? was originally written in 1990 as a tribute to Andrew Wood, the lead singer of Mother Love Bone, after Wood’s death from a heroin overdose. The song first appeared on the soundtrack to 1992’s Singles and the subsequent music video was released to coincide with the release of the film. Singles director Cameron Crowe co-directed this video but the only direct reference to Singles is a quick shot of the film’s poster.
Would? went on to win Best Video From A Film at the 1993 VMAs.
Enjoy!
