2022-04-17 13:36:47 +0000 UTCthis song is written by the lead guitarist about his father being in Vietnam. the Rooster is his father, a sniper that's why he says they come to snuff the Rooster.

2022-04-09 08:39:48 +0000 UTC'Rooster' was also a nickname for M60 machine gunners because the muzzle flash looked like a rooster's tail. It's also a play on how the Vietnamese saw 101st Airborne Division soldiers who wore the Screaming Eagle on their sleeves

2022-04-06 04:14:25 +0000 UTCA machine gunner. There’s a couple Vietnam references like army green and “they spit on me in my homeland” cause soldiers Who fought in vietnam were treated like shit when they got back to the U.S

2022-04-06 02:05:08 +0000 UTCThis song was written based on the Vietnam war. A rooster is a soldier who shot the machine guns from bunkers I belive

2022-04-06 01:24:15 +0000 UTC...and Yes, sometimes definitely about the feel! Grunge 90's music was its own vibe drawing in a unique fanbase (cuz not all rock fans gravitated to it) those that did maybe also enjoyed the milder drugs at a party so this song always sounded DOPE, when playing super loud, while you're standing next to a furniture sized speaker, that's also now a drink table😏

2022-04-05 22:07:20 +0000 UTCOf all of the grunge legend tragedies, the untimely passing of Layne Staley affected me the most. For me, their Album Dirt is one of the top five albums of all time, regardless of genre. The hopelessness and sadness Layne expresses about about heroin addiction is heartbreaking, but at the same time darkly beautiful. If I may, you should check out Would and Nutshell - amazing songs (but all of their work is amazing). Happy listening!

2022-04-05 19:48:43 +0000 UTCAlice in Chains is an iconic band. The vocals are out of this world. Hard to find that kind of Harmony. Layne and Jerry's voice just mesh so well.
Robert Crowley
2022-04-05 18:37:53 +0000 UTCIts a tribute to Jerry Cantrells, (who is the guitarist,) Vietnam veteran dad. Cantrell’s thoughts kept turning to his estranged father, whose psychological scars from his service in the Vietnam War had contributed to the breakdown of the family some years earlier. “That experience in Vietnam changed him forever,” explains Cantrell, “and it certainly had an effect on our family, so I guess it was a defining moment in my life, too. “He didn’t walk out on us. We left him. It was an environment that wasn’t good for anyone, so we took off to live with my grandmother in Washington, and that’s where I went to school. I didn’t have a lot of my father around, but I started thinking about him a lot during that period.”

2022-04-05 18:30:46 +0000 UTCAlice In Chains are the fucking goats. Layne Staley is my favorite vocalist of all time. R.I.P Layne, 20 years ago today.
