Alice In Chains - Check My Brain Lyrics






So I found myself in the sun, oh yeah
A hell of a place to end a run, oh yeah

California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's all right
Somebody check my brain
Check my brain

I walk these streets, I creep and I fall, oh yeah
When she sang I answered the call, oh yeah

California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's all right
Somebody check my brain

Aaaaah tears that filled my bong
Aaaaah years expended gone

[Guitar]

I hung my guns and put em away, oh yeah
The trick of the trade, and by the way, oh yeah

California, I'm fine
Somebody check my brain
California's all right
Somebody check my brain

Aaaah tears that filled my bong
Aaaah years expended gone
[Repeat]

Check my brain, check my brain...

Alice In Chains Check My Brain Comments
  1. J.... 6....

    I'm going to have hearing loss soon if I keep listening to AIC so loud but I can't help it

  2. K.... C....

    Neuroscientists headbang to this gem of a song haha

  3. E.... P....

    I only came for the intro lol

  4. D.... S....

    This song came out more than ten years ago...Damn.

  5. J.... B....

    Dam sounds dark, almost like like dirt.. with a new twist

  6. K.... M....

    one of the guys from Alice In Chains that is replacing Layne Staley sounds like him exactly

  7. A.... P....

    Welcome to battleon!!

  8. A.... K....

    Now i chek their brain

  9. A.... K....

    California ok

  10. J.... B....

    AQ3D anyone?😅

    J.... B....

    Hahaha! I was waiting for someone to say something 🤣 battle on!

    J.... B....

    La conocí por ese juego xD
    No me arrepiento uwu

  11. A.... W....

    I like what you did with the drum's stereo micing: putting it from the audience's perspective

  12. n.... ....

    6:47 Well you cant say they arent rocking it wt The ALICE IN CHAINS California Check My Brain oozing down the walls of the place!!.....But hurry up and get there before they shutter the place as its bleeding & oozing money too!! They closed the nightclub KAOS last week....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdSBJB83bUg

  13. C.... W....

    Blue Gives Way To Black

  14. P.... W....

    That guitar is fkn naughty Jerry..
    Even before Layne decided to travel the stars... AIC were more than just music..
    They're a coping mechanism for the shit life throws at you.
    I often feel like the drummer could produce bangers too..
    Its in the DNA of Alice...
    Just a band above bands.

  15. H.... O....

    The riff is giving off some serious Tom G Warrior vibes! Sounds like it could be a Triptykon song or even Monotheost era Celtic Frost.

    H.... O....

    Damn dude I don't know if I would go that heavy but I'm not gonna argue with you. Rock on

    H.... O....

    @Jayson Raphael Murdock It is really only the guitar riffs that sound similar. It has that crushing sort of crawl that a lot of Tom G Warriors later stuff had. The vocals aren't anything alike but that main riff is begging for some of Tom's various grunts and "ooh" noises.

  16. v.... l....

    Grunge not is dead

  17. C.... 6....

    Hahha, I first heard this song in jail. I did get to score and shoot smack with Layne tho. That dude could do shots of diesel that would kill even my junkie ass

  18. M.... E....

    Terrific chainsaw guitar riff...Jerry is an absolute fuckin' genius

  19. M.... f....

    That’s flanging, not bending...Layne is spinning in his shallow fucking grave...he was my friend.

  20. O.... M....

    Antes la música de alice in chains tenia una estética rara la cual layne staley adapto perfectamente, y este nuevo vocal es pésimo, y para acabarla la música a perdido esa estética original ahora parece musica de circo solo para vender a la fuerza, antes eran de las mejores bandas ahora se ven como unos ancianos principiantes en el escenario

  21. C.... T....

    California!!!! o yeaa.

  22. D.... P....

    Alice In Bend: Bend Gives The Way To Bend

  23. J.... H....

    when I heard this song for the first time I really thought that it was sung by Layne

  24. B.... P....

    Rated B by BAMBI

  25. S.... K....

    Yes check your fucking brain. Your not alice in chains. Lance is the true alice in chains

  26. o.... ....

    The “new” Alice In Chains song is now 10 years old.

    o.... ....

    Check My Brain where did 10 years go

  27. D.... B....

    This band never gives up.what band thrives after losing their frontman.AIC forever.

  28. D.... P....

    Mike Starr's Bass was much better

  29. V.... C....

    Yeeeeah

  30. B.... M....

    Years expended...gone

  31. B.... M....

    How does this song not have over a million views?

  32. D.... C....

    My bowl of Cheerios

  33. X.... T....

    Lyrics (Jerry Cantrell)


    So I found myself in the sun, oh yeah
    A hell of a place to end a run, oh yeah

    California, I'm fine
    Somebody check my brain
    California's all right
    Somebody check my brain
    Check my brain

    I walk these streets, a creep in a fog, oh yeah
    When she sang, I answered the call, oh yeah

    California, I'm fine
    Somebody check my brain
    California's all right
    Somebody check my brain

    Tears that filled my bong
    Years expended, gone

    I hung my guns and put 'em away, oh yeah
    A trick of the trade and by the way, oh yeah

    California, I'm fine
    Somebody check my brain
    California's all right
    Somebody check my brain

    Tears that filled my bong
    Years expended, gone

    Tears that filled my bong
    Years expended, gone

    Check my brain
    Check my brain
    Check my brain

  35. D.... M....

    Cali, really please find my liberal brain.left it on the 405

  36. C.... S....

    The first time I ever heard this was at an aic concert in Cincinnati OH and it blew me away. Sounds just like the kind of songs they used to make when Layne was still around

  37. A.... K....

    Love the guitar riff in this song and the haunting vocals

  38. R.... ....

    Jerry sounds amazing in this. Love it

  39. A.... H....

    The Spirit of Laney lives strongly in this song and can be clearly heard in the distance of the verses

  40. A.... M....

    I just picture an older, wiser, sober Layne singing this, and it makes me so depressed.

  41. D.... H....

    EXTRA IPA AND ALICE AND CHAINS

  42. S.... K....

    Alice in chains check my brain

  43. J.... H....

    I still like that nasty, gritty sound of dirt and especially self titled.

  44. J.... P....

    I've been listening to this tune since it was released. An absolute banger and just sounds exactly how you'd want Aic to sound. What a band

  45. J.... B....

    Oh yeah.... yeah . Californian ahhh check my bone. trick of the trade. czeck my bone.

  46. L.... S....

    One of there best songs ever

  47. D.... B....

    Kicked ass in Ohio last night

  48. A.... W....

    When I first heard this song I knew it was AIC immediately, like "Hell yeah! Alice in Chains is back!". William's doing a fine job, still miss Layne but William Duvall is doing great in his place.

  49. D.... G....

    So I found myself in the sun, oh yeah
    A hell of a place to end a run, oh yeah
    California, I'm fine
    Somebody check my brain
    California's all right
    Somebody check my brain
    Check my brain
    I walk these streets, I creep and I fall, oh yeah
    When she sang I answered the call, oh yeah
    California, I'm fine somebody check my brain
    California's all right somebody check my brain
    Ah tears have filled my bones
    Ah years expended gone
    Guitar
    I hung my guns and put em away, oh yeah
    The trick of the trade, and by the way, oh yeah
    California, I'm fine somebody check my brain
    California's all right somebody check my brain
    Ah tears have filled my bones
    Ah years expended gone
    Ah tears have filled my bones
    Ah years expended gone
    Check my brain, check my brai

  50. d.... e....

    I love this tune!

  51. m.... g....

    see you the 16th at Blossom ..Sing it jerry

  52. f.... ....

    heard this at saratoga art center, fuckin wicked

  53. s.... m....

    I'm saying 2 paws up to this. In regards to that twang thang,,,,bending those cords.

  54. C.... ....

    Guitar Level = Elite

  55. j.... d....

    The beginning is slightly reminding me of 10s from pantera

    j.... d....

    I can't unhear this

  56. D.... B....

    I love layne! But everybody needs to let Duvall do his thing!

    D.... B....

    Yes, exactly he’s a good replacement or should say fits in well but usually no one tops the first singer of the band cause that’s what made the band become what it is now. I just saw ALICE IN CHAINS yesterday and god dam really good sounding show and they delivered

  57. J.... M....

    🧠🦁

  58. R.... M....

    duckder'rd... love U MF

    R.... M....

    ftw buddy love ya bud

  59. B.... D....

    I will be in a blue wheelchair

  60. B.... D....

    Iam going to see them August 20th

  61. R.... R....

    I remember when the song came out, it gave me chills. Listening to it now it still does the same thing.

  62. s.... ....

    Can’t believe this song is already 10+ years old. I remember being 10-11 years old and hearing this when it was brand new. I remember thinking even then that this band is one of the greatest ever, and this song was proof.

  63. M.... F....

    This song live is something out of this world! ❤️❤️❤️

  64. M.... ....

    California just passed a bill that politicians have to release their tax returns to have their names on a ballot. California's alright.

    M.... ....

    It's a great example of commiecrats throwing a hissy fit because they've been told "no". It only applies to the primaries, anyway. More ineffectual huffing and puffing from the puffers in CA.

  65. C.... B....

    This is one of my favorite guitar riffs ever.

    C.... B....

    One of the most nasty and badass guitar tones ever! No doubt

  66. B.... i....

    I was in disbelief when I first heard this song on the radio. It was obviously AIC but how had I not heard it before? Had no idea there was a new album and that it sounded so legit.

  67. J.... M....

    Long live the 90s music

  68. R.... E....

    This song...equals my gums

  69. S.... ....

    I think Layne would be happy to know that his band is still going strong.

    S.... ....

    Layne, I'm sure is looking down with a big smile. Love this tune. It really has a 90s feel

    S.... ....

    Layne is still with them! The legacy lives on! Oh yeah🔥

    S.... ....

    This Seattle Grunge Band is Going Strong and Rocking On 🎸🎸🤘🤘👍👍

  71. J.... B....

    Bad ass!!!!!

  72. J.... D....

    I lo e u 2 Zack.

  73. B.... �....

    I was unsure to even check out post-Staley tracks of AiC, I loved his voice so much. DuVall you put together a masterpiece, you and Jerry kick ass

  74. e.... ....

    Their biggest song

  75. S.... ....

    Come on, guys, just enjoy the music ... don't bitch about Layne

  76. C.... P....

    Metallica fans should take the lyrics to this song literally.

  77. v.... d....

    Holy shit that riff's awesome af.

  78. P.... C....

    I don't know why they got a new lead singer Jerry is the one doing the lead vocals the new guy has never sang lead on any not a single song is that Jerry's way of conformity saying hey we have a token black guy in my band we are not racist cause Duvall doesn't contribute anything to the band that anyone else and trust me there is hundreds of people better then him

  79. A.... M....

    My only problem with this song is the OHHH YEEAAHHHH part. Kinda goofy.

    A.... M....

    What? Layne would have done it even better

  80. H.... L....

    Laines spirit is obviously still with Alice

    H.... L....

    It's Layne

  81. A.... ....

    Somebody check my mental health

  82. J.... F....

    Totally Awesome Riff!

    J.... F....

    Joe Freihet The openening riff sounds incredible You can pick the Black Sabbath influence in that. The vocals sounds a bit like Ace Frehley in parts

    J.... F....

    Andrew King your right, sounds like something you’d expect from Sabbath

  83. T.... W....

    This song gives me motion sickness. I love it.

  84. W.... D....

    Grind 2.0. Hard to replace a MASTER. Hope you are well Layne. We all miss you but your replacement is quite worthy. Seen the “new” Alice and it’s FUCKING AWESOME!!! However no replacement for displacement...... wish you were here....

  85. W.... ....

    Should let me do Layne's parts. Or Kurts or Scott's or Chris' I crush em all. ^.^

  86. l.... i....

    Oh yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh

  87. m.... g....

    Layne would drive this into your Brains! I miss those Layne harmonies! Man could carry so many octaves! Jerry sing it man!! So many haters thumbing down a awesome band! Must be hip hop trash, Check Yer Brains lol

  88. C.... j....

    I cant but help feel that Layne would of murdered this beat

  89. A.... ....

    Baldur's Gate III theme song.

  90. J.... P....

    I wanted to pray for the puddle of mudd group to unite with all the hits.injeus name!amen.

  91. A.... D....

    Dam sounds like Laynes time

  92. M.... v....

    Lost track from Dirt?

  93. D.... P....

    In the halls of the rock Gods Layne Staley would have to approve.

  94. j.... s....

    Lame song. No where near impact of Staley. Check your ears.

  95. a.... m....

    the sound is staley to bad he fell for opioads we could still had the sound of his voice in new music that we will never hear on earth again....

  96. e.... m....

    NON SO' COME MA E' MORTO IL GIORNO CHE RIVIDI MARCONCINI

  97. e.... m....

    OLD MAN YOU BROKE YOU'RE LEGS

  98. w.... 1....

    Imagine how awesome this song would be even more with Layne.

    w.... 1....

    I dunno, William fits in pretty well for this tune
