Alice in Chains...

Wow... apologized for playing it? Is it that bad a song or is it that he was apologising for promoting the "new" AIC?

In all seriousness regardless of what one thinks of AIC reforming and releasing new music, they are, and always will be a million times better than Nickelback...

*cringes whenever he types that word*
 
I have been an Alice In Chains fan since they came out! I cried the day Layne died! He was awesome! Wish he had realized how awesome he was, he may still be here if he did!
 
I read an interview the other day from jerry cantrell, and he was speaking about all these new singers they have been trying to replace layne with.
Saying how these new guys just arent cutting it,and that he never relised just how much layne was doing vocaly!
And there for it just might be that (LAYNE STALEY..R.I.P) JUST CAN'T BE REPLACED!
 
I can't stop watching this video. I found it last night, and I've watched it a dozen times. For all you AIC lovers.

I agree that Jar of Flies is by far their best album. The first two tracks, "Rotten Apple" and "Nutshell", are my favorite songs by them. I really wish they had made more slow, downcast songs like these because they did it really well and Layne Staley had a great voice for it. Unfortunately they insisted on trying to rock out more often than not and I don't think they did that very well.
 
Black Gives Way to Blue shouldn't have surprised me as much as it has. Alice in Chains were one of the most consistent banRAB around in their brief heyday (even the campiest parts of Facelift were still rather good), yes, but the pessimist inside me knows that fourteen years separate Alice in Chains and Black Gives Way to Blue. In that space of time, Alice in Chains' contemporaries in the Seattle grunge scene have either disbanded or fallen on hard times; last week Pearl Jam released their first worthwhile album in years, and in the case of Chris Cornell
 
I really loved their unplugged album though, some of those songs really transferred themselves well to the whole accoustic sound.... some great dirges to be strummed...
 
Compared with the other AIC songs that made the other albums so successful No Excuses wasn't that good. It's not bad but no that good. We Die Young and Man In the Box made Facelift a great album, Dirt had Angry Chair and Would? and in their self titled album origianlly titled "Tripod" Grind was my personal favorite. Sap misses the mark og haveing the two great songs that AIC is known of haveing. The only reason Layne didn't have two on the tripod album was because he was drugged out most of the time, but didn't lose their style something I felt was missed in Sap.
 
I'm a nutshell and rotten apple kind of girl. I love it all though. Alice in Chains was my favorite grunge band. Then maybe stone temple pilots.
