saw them on the Dirt tour -- about 10 feet from the stage Layne was one of the best frontmen ever, IMO Very tight band -- great sound I still listen to them almost daily
Alice in Chains....<3 Need I say more? Too bad about Layne.... All the greatest artists are dead. What's up with that?!
A.I.C are my favourite band (after TOOL). They got me through the turmoils of teenagehood. This is one of the reasons I have a tribute to them tattooed on my back. They were just so passionate, enchanting, powerful and fucking hardcore. I say were because well, even though a comeback can be made, Layne Staley is just one of those frontmen that should NEVER be replaced. Best album is definately FACELIFT or Alice in Chains. Best tunes are: "I stay away", "Sea of Sorrow", "Down in a hole", "Head creeps"... well no, just all of them really. So who was your favourite bassist.... Starr or Inez? Or perhaps like myself, you think they both were fangasmical?!?
Yeah AIC are are a great band. Dirt is a fantastic album, an essential in any collection if you ask me.
Alice Cooper is better and the name of Alice in Chains sounds like a rip off of Alice Cooper trade name . However i do like Rooster about the only song with any deepth.
Alice Cooper is totally different from Alice in Chains. I don't get the rip off idea at all. However, when you talk rip offs, don't forget "Godsmack". You know they listened to DIRT. My favorite Alice in Chains songs: Junkhead Down in a Hole What the Hell Have I Angry Chair Right Turn Got Me Wrong Rooster Dam that River Would? And any other powerful AIC I forgot to mention..... Also like "Mad Season"---River of Deceit, November Hotel and Wake Up are my fave from that record, bummer that Layne is gone but I heard AIC has reformed.....
how is it possible get on the idea to compare aic to alice cooper? they have nothing in common. even the names are not comparible because alice cooper is just a name like everyone else has (surname, lastname) while aic isn't. yeah aic reformed, i saw them a week ago. awesome, but the cd is better than the performance i saw
comparing aic and alice cooper is fuckin retarded they aint even the same i dont really give a shit about the ''reformed'' aic alice is never reforming cause layne is dead and gone
Sorting through my albums and realised that I have two more albums to collect to complete my alice in chains collection *very happy indeed*
