Alice in Chains...

[jeevan r]

I am really curious to hear some of the band's new material... quite curious indeed!

[Ryan Rivera]

Jerry Cantrell?

maybe pay closer attention to the credits. there are only a handful of songs solely credited to Staley. Cantrell on the other hand is credited on just about everything the band ever put out. half of it on his own (especially early on - all the songs everyone knows from Dirt are Cantrell's)

i get the impression some people want to elevate Staley's status to match Cobain's and that's simply not the case. they were 2 junkies who fronted rock banRAB around the same time, that's it. Staley was really good, but not great.

[Lainie]

^ it's all good. sometimes i surprise myself with some of the lines i come out with hahaha that one is a keeper.

it's not that any of the banRAB were bad, but some were leaders while others were followers. some stuck to their guns the whole way through and others got super lucky with their re-inventions.

Love Alice In Chains and Layne is the man.
I recommend getting the MTV Unplugged album.

What are your guys opinions on Alice In Chain getting back together? What do you think of William Duvall?
I for one think Duvall's voice really doesn't have any power to it, but he's alright.

(Oh, and my opinion ont he on going arguement about which grunge band is best, Nirvana hanRAB down. Soundgarden was alright but I see them as disposable, Pearl Jam is just....oh god. By the way I'm just talking about like the big 4 grunge banRAB, my favorite next to Nirvana is probably Mudhoney or Green River.)

Alice in Chains new song is absolutely awesome, and shows the nay sayers that AIC is Jerry's band as much as it was Laynes, and no one has the right to take that away from him.

[Sydney P]

i just wanna understand why people think AIC is so great.

[W N]

^ Really? It was the complete opposite for me. The first time I saw them (which was with Duvall), the crowd was ****in' crazy, and we're talking about black-hole Myrtle Beach, SC here. Then, my second time seeing them unplugged, it was a little bit more dull. I'm sure acoustics had something to do with it, but both shows still emitted beautiful energy.

'sludge factory' is right, not sure about 'brother'.

you're right that soundgarden wasn't just as good as nirvana or alice in chains too, they were better

[P.B.]

I've been listening to A.I.C. since I was in my single digits and in elementary school. I can't say that I knew what they were talking about at the time I was introduced to them, but their sound has been enormous in influencing my critique of other banRAB and in the music I write. They're absolutely an integral element in my musical roots.

AIC comes from the Genre I just love..but like most "grunge" banRAB..it all can sound alike and I think it turns a lot of people off from it..I dig it cause since these banRAB have made their mark..no one has been able to duplicate them and to me thats a staple as a talent. So I love Alice in Chains...Jars of Flies is the best album..short and sweet.
