Reacting to "Grind" (Alice In Chains) | Dan Barracuda

[00:00:00]Hey Shannon, I'm excited to check this out. I don't think I've ever heard the song before. Grind by Allison Chains.

[00:00:06]Here we go. [music] [music] [singing] >> [music] >> I know sometimes they're in drop a half step, but this is nice. [music] They're just E standard. I think that's a really good reference for the minor third. That's the minor third right there. [music] It can be bluesy. It's very rock like [music] right always using rock [music] very simple but but Jerry Kro's like really holding that minor 7 [singing] [music] it's Dorian that's the the major six.

[00:01:21]Look at that. [music] [music] Nice.

[00:01:35][music] Oh my god.

[00:01:43]I love that. That symbol crash. Listen to that. [music] It It's changing between ears. Very cool. Watch right here.

[00:01:54][music] >> Right there. Right there. [music] I love that, man. It's just like [singing] It gives like a very spooky vibe when you do the minor 7 and the major 6.

[00:02:14]It kind of sounds like American Woman there.

[00:02:21][music] >> Man, they're so good with their vocal processing. Like the way he says come in the morning light like it's just him and then it's like it's a see-through sh.

[00:02:33][music] [music] >> Oh my god. Like in the middle of a sentence it'll just be like sick. so heavy.

[00:02:54][music] That lead guitar though is like adding so much to like just the creepiness to the vibe. It would be very different if it wasn't there.

[00:03:06][music] >> Whoa. [laughter] [music] [music] >> Now what?

[00:03:23]>> [music] >> Let the sun never let me sleep [music] so much.

[00:03:36]You hear a [music] sound voice inside.

[00:03:43]That was wild.

[00:03:48]That was awesome.

[00:03:54]>> [music] >> That is so beautiful, man. It goes so they're like an E minor, right?

[00:04:06][music] And they just go they like go to F# major.

[00:04:16]Let the sun never blind your let [music] me sleep so my And it's like and then they go which is like a frigian dominant move because instead of just a major scale [music] because they play that G here it goes.

[00:04:36]So it sounds like you know like Egyptian or like Arabic or something. [music] Let me sleep so [music] [singing] >> Oh my god.

[00:04:53][music] >> That's like their Beatles like influence.

[00:05:01]>> And [music] then Yeah. So like we're like in like a dreamy state. [singing] So then when we go back to it's like an instant modulation key change back to E minor and it makes it like so much heavier as if than if that section was also an E minor and they went to like another another [music and singing] chord. The fact that they like change keys to like F# [singing] and then what is like it almost sounds like Incubus or something and then [music] so heavy [music] tritone.

[00:05:50]Don't you [music] love the game? In truth, your lies [music] become one.

[00:06:02]>> Oh my god, his vocal f [groaning] [music] [music] >> there is. I can set you free.

[00:06:17]>> Hear the sound [music and singing] of your body breaking as I take you down.

[00:06:26]Yeah.

[00:06:28]>> Wow.

[00:06:30]Now watch this. They go back to that [music] [music] >> man. the the Jerry's harmony.

[00:06:45]Let [singing] the sun blind your eyes.

[00:06:50]>> My god. [clears throat] [music] [singing] [music] >> Oh my god.

[00:07:07][music] Sick. I love the texture of what Jerry's doing with that lead guitar right there.

[00:07:14][music] >> Oh my god. He's like he's like a [music] Oh my god. It's cool because we're like playing [music] F# minor, but he's outlining he's outlining F. We're playing F# major, [music] right?

[00:07:34]But he's outlining F# minor.

[00:07:37]A nice contrast.

[00:07:41]There [music] sound [singing] [music] awesome.

[00:07:57][music] [music] I I I really love this actually. [music] like a new world from from the very different.

[00:08:15][music] It's like Middle East.

[00:08:26]Back to [music] it.

[00:08:31][music] [music] You do what I adise not to [music] my funeral.

[00:08:47]>> It's really cool because in the beginning of the song the guitar was going.

[00:08:53]So it's going [singing] [music] it was doing but now it's going like [singing] and this is the perfect fifth. So [music] that's normal. But then they go, which is that's like the tritone. That's like the devil's note. And so it's like the song has gotten like darker [music] dark.

[00:09:24]There we go.

[00:09:28][music] Okay, he's back to that. Nice.

[00:09:35]Sun [singing] never bright [music] your eyes.

[00:09:39]>> Let me sleep so my teeth [singing] won't hear [music] a sound from my voice.

[00:09:50][music] [music] >> This part is amazing. [music] Let me sleep [singing] so my teeth won't [music] hear a sound from her voice inside.

[00:10:10][music] [music] Is that what he's doing? That part is sick.

[00:10:33]>> [music] [music] >> That man, this song is insane. Let's start to hear it again. [music] Oh my god. Right away, just like the bleeding of the wall.

[00:10:58][music] It's like falls in like a door [music] opens and slime pours out everywhere.

[00:11:08][music] [music] [music] There it is.

[00:11:25]>> [music] >> In the darkest world, [music and singing] >> look how the vocal change to plan my funeral for the body and then die.

[00:11:50]Very awesome vocal and vocal [music] processing. The vocal production is awesome.
