    "Rooster" is a song Jerry Cantrell wrote, dedicated to his own father. The song is about his father's survival of his tour in Vietnam. Jerry's father's nickname in Vietnam was Rooster.

    I heard that Jerry's dad was called rooster as a kid because his hair stuck up, like a rooster. Jerry said that in an interview once.

    Yes. It was about his dad surviving in the Vietnamanese War. The Vietnamanese had never seen and eagle (Screaming Eagles Division) so they called them roosters.
