Alice in Chains vs Nirvana

Or basically Kurt Cobain vs Layne Staley. This keeps being a near daily drunk or stoned debate between me and one of my friend vs my girlfriend and another of my friends over who is better. The question is who are the true grunge gods. Yes Nirvana in the general sense is because of how famous they are. But most people that ever listen to grunge will go through their Nirvana/Kurt cobain is god phase in school. But then the lucky ones get older and find the brilliance that is Alice in Chains as the true grunge gods. Layne's voice was 100x better then Kurt's, both Layne and Jerry's lyrics were better and they were musically more advanced, especially in the guitar skill of Jerry Cantrell vs Kurt.

But the point is to the stoner community, who do you think are better.

Also:
Who was a better guitarist, Kurt or Jerry?
Better live show?
Better lyrics?
Nevermind/Bleach vs Facelift/Dirt?
In Utero vs AiC's self titled?
Who would you rather smoke up with, Layne or Kurt?


Name your god and bleed the freak!

 

i don't listen to much alice in chains.. but i've always been a huge nirvana fan.
so yeah i'm going to have to go with nirvana.

 

tambien

 

Well, I cant stand most music released by either band, but the Bleach album from Nirvana has a few good songs, so Im also going with them

 

im probably like most people who have never really cared for grunge but like nirvana better because they have a few decent songs. it might b completely differnt if ur a big grunge fan though

 

same im not a huge grunge fan, but i like nirvana alot. nevermind is one of the greatest and influential albums of all time, btw

 

Alice in Chains. No doubt for me. Nirvana were okay but overrated.

 

The cool answer it seems is to go with Nirvana, but I'm liking alot of the Alice and Chain songs I'm being introduced to.

Granted, Smells Like Teen Spirit is a very good song, but I just can't place many other Nirvana songs up that high.

Man in the Box, Here Comes the Rooster, Down In A Hole are all real good Alice in Chain songs.

 

I like Alice in Chains just a little bit more.

 

I'm ripped of iso hash, and I read the title quite fast, so I was expecting "Alice in Wonderland vs Narnia. :spliff:

 

lmao^^ i like alice in chains. nirvana IS wayyyy overrated.

 

Nirvana sucks. period.


I wasn't aware that Alice in Chains is grunge...

 

eh don't really listen to either but in 6th grade i was a huge nirvana fan so i vote nirvana.

 

1) nirvana does not suck. over-rated maybe....but i like them.

i have to go with like the first 3 posters, i don't really listen to alice in chains and i've always been a nirvana fan, so my vote is to them/kurt. i might have to check out alice in chains though.
also foo fighters are pretty good.


i like the song "bloom" and "lithium" i think. i'm bad with names but there are plently of kick ass nirvana songs. and not just on the nevermind album.

 

^in bloom i think you meant to say.
i agree. that is an awesome song!

 

nirvana

 

oh and I still say sell the kids for food

 

alice in chains any day.

ever hurd rooster?

 

heard? yes

 

kurt cobain is my favorite songwriter and musician of all time, so i'd have to say nirvana. the music wasn't as technical and the vocals went flat sometimes, but damn it, they had heart. alice in chains were an ex-glam band who were in it for the money (which is not to say they made bad music.)
