Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Check My Brain. By Songfacts®.

This is the second single from Seattle rock band Alice In Chains' fourth studio album Black Gives Way to Blue.

Alice in Chains debuted this song on August 1, 2009 in Marlay Park, Dublin, Ireland.

Guitarist/singer Jerry Cantrell told The Pulse of Radio that he wrote this song about his move from his home city of Seattle to Los Angeles in 2003. He explained: "There's a certain aspect of sarcasm, I guess, being a guy from Seattle who lives in L.A., ex-drug addict who lives in the belly of the beast and doesn't partake, and being totally cool with that," he said. "It's like being the bad gambler and living in Vegas. It's right there. It's just the irony of that and a little bit of sarcasm. And it's not putting this place down at all. It's just kind of like, 'Wow, you know, check my brain, wow.'"
