"Rooster" is a popular , so the closest thing to which the Vietnamese could reference them was the chicken. They referred to them as "chicken men." Chicken Men

The Music Video featured brutality and violence visually reminiscent of '' Apocalypse Now ''.

Jerry Cantrell on the song, from the liner notes of 1999 's '' Music Bank '' box set collection:

"It was the start of the healing process between my Dad and I from all that damage that Vietnam caused. This was all my perception of his experiences out there. The first time I ever heard him talk about it was when we made the video and he did a 45 minute interview with Mark Pellington and I was amazed he did it. He was totally cool, totally calm, accepted it all and had a good time doing it. It even brought him to the point of tears. It was beautiful. He said it was a weird experience, a sad experience and he hoped that nobody else had to go through it."

Later comments: "I think there's some vibe on the demo that maybe we didn't get here (on ''Dirt''), but this has something all of its own... quality, for one thing."

Cantrell's father joined Alice In Chains during "Rooster" on stage for the Sept. 30 , 2006 show in Tulsa .
