Some much music packed into 2 and half minutes.

Awesome song, I discovered it a couple of months ago. Any other cool AiC recommendations? And not like the emo crap Christi posted above, give me the good stuff.

haunting

From here:

"While the members of Alice in Chains have managed to distance themselves from a few of their more obscure early incarnations, it doesn't exactly take a team of CSI detectives to connect the dots between the band we know and Layne Staley's effeminate '80s cock-rock act, Alice 'N Chainz. This group of (alleged) men sporting bouffant hair and nancy boy make-up was arguably the most embarrassing of the band's many forerunners. Their now forgotten output from the '80s including sensitively titled tracks like "Fat Girls" and lyrically diabolical party anthems such as "Lip Lock Rock":

Lip lock, Lip lock, Lip lock, Lip lock, Lip lock Rock
Lip lock rock, Lip lock rock
Whoa

Suffice to say, song writing generally took a backseat to hair and make-up during this era. Perfectly illustrating the band's non-existent musical credibility is a line from their demo tape's thank you notes that reads "If you are blonde, tan, tasty, and tight, the boyz in the band love you lots"... And no, as much as some fans would like to believe it, we haven't gone off topic and started talking about Poison."

"Emo crap"? Your awesome-meter needs some recalibration, son.

AIC is good. But I can't stand Rooster.
/Oh yeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.............

I wish a radio station anywhaere would get the balls to play something besides "Rooster", "Would?" and "Man in the Box".

Play some "Dirt" or "Junkhead" of "Angry Chair". Or even "Godsmack" for cripe's sake.

Glad I have just about their entire catalog at home, and I play the shiat out of it.

I also wish I could spell "anywhere".

The ultimate AIC song in my opinion! Saw them at the Troc in Philly. One of the best shows I've ever seen

Alice is the best band ever. Awesome. Their 2007 concert at the Gorge just outside of Seattle was my all-time favorite.

Best songs:

Queen of the Rodeo (new window)

Would? (new window)

Them Bones (new window)

Sea of Sorrow (new window)

Bleed the Freak (new window)

Man in the Box (new window)

No Excuses (new window)

Rain When I Die (new window)

Sickman (new window)

I Stay Away (new window)

Down in a Hole (new window)

I love Alice in Chains and am a grunge fan in general, but I still don't think we need a "Saturday Grungecall" ripoff of the Sunday metal link.

/favorite songs: Sludge Factory, God Am, Down In a Hole, Bleed the Freak, Rotten Apple, Nutshell
//whole unplugged album is amazing

Never heard this before. Awesome track. thanks man.

The unplugged album is awesome. Layne sounded like he was near death (in a good way). STP's unplugged show was fantastic, but sadly they never released it as an album

I agree with this Grungecall thing. Although,I never thought of AiC as a grunge band. They started out, believe it or not, as a glamrock band. Then went Heavy Metal.

The Gunslinger Roland: Alice is the best band ever. Awesome. Their 2007 concert at the Gorge just outside of Seattle was my all-time favorite.

Yeah, sorry, I got bored and just wanted to listen to the music, rather than find it.

Perfect reason for others to add to it!

normally I just bookmark tittie threads...

Probably my favorite band of all time.

I've got all their studio albums except for SAP. I should pick it up some time, since it's super cheap.

yeah i'd go with
Junkhead
What the Hell Have I
Would?
Got Me Wrong

CatJumpJohn

That's hilarious, and something I would never have expected.

/Down in a Hole ftw

I've always been partial to Over Now (new window)

My all-time favorite band. Favorite tracks would include "Sickman", "Got Me Wrong", "Junkhead", "Bleed the Freak", and one I never see mentioned on lists: "Shame in You" (new window)

/the Unplugged DVD is a must-own

AiC was the shiat.

Harmonizing + heavy, depressing lyrics + metal overtones = pure win

Dirt is a dark masterpiece.

Whenever I hear "Them Bones" I think about Layne laying dead on his couch for two weeks before anyone discovered him, and it makes me sad.

While not AiC, one of my favorite Layne Staley vocal tracks is "River of Deceit".

What a voice. What a hottie. What a shame.

wow, what an appropriate song for that distinction.

also, one of the other last songs was pretty good too

that goes for you too, Hetfield

Absolutely Unbelieveable, you guys. All this talk of Alice in Chains and not a single mention of We Die Young. You dudes are slipping.

/I defy you to find me a harder riff.

Thanks, buddy, that is a pretty good tune! Checking out the others right now, thanks everyone.

Nice entries everyone.

And we die young (new window)

So let me get this straight: last week's posting of Soundgarden garnered a slew of ill-informed proclamations that Soundgarden wasn't actually grunge but was instead metal, but this week's posting of the even more metallic Alice In Chains garners none of that?

Just sayin'...

/they're both "grunge", whatever exactly that is

If you don't have it you should pick up AiC Unplugged.

Saw AIC on Lollapalooza supporting Dirt. It was awesome.
