I jus started listening to them a lot agian after not listening for awhile but always being a big fan. Jus listening to them, god Layne Staley had a hell of a voice. Talk about some really deep songs. They make you think. It makes me so sad that Layne couldn't beat heroine. What a waste of a brilliant person.
RIP Layne... :sulk: Faith no more, AIC, and nirvana are amongst my fav bands...Quote:

Its jus fucking sad watching a video on youtube when he was really sick and basically jus dying. He died at something disgusting like 85 lbs. Breaks my fuckin heart dude. If he was still alive who knows what brilliant shit they would have madeQuote:

yes I was super pissed at Layne when he died!!
I'm just glad I got to see them at Red Rocks in '93, and then again with Ozzy and Sepultura in.....shit '95 I think when ever the "no more tours" tour was. He had a broken leg and did the whole show from a recliner on stage. loved that dudes voice....dammit :(
Wasnt the members of Alice playing with Heart on VH1 Rock Honors ...
they did Baracuda with the country singer Gretchen Wilson (no relation), and she did a fucking absolutly amazing job on it, I never heard of her and dont listen to country but she nailed it, sounded better then the original! I was very impressed. and Nancy Wilson came out and played with them on the song.Quote:

I don't know for a fact, but I would think they do, and if they do. Invest in it. In fact I'm gonna look into it and possibly buy it myself. It really is amazing music. Bands like AIC only come around once in awhile.Quote:

Jar of Flies is the only album I ever actually had from them. Great album. Great music.
There is a CD called the Essential AIC. It has about 30 songs on it that are all great, but I think some of the not as popular stuff is some of their best so I recommend at least getting Facelift and Dirt. I was big into the grunge thing back then but of all of it AIC was by far my favorite. Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Nirvan were great as well but AIC is grunge for me.
Jar of Flies rules.
I saw them last year at Musikfest with William Duvall singing. I am a huge AIC fan and I wasn't expecting much when we got there, but this dude does them great justice! He was plain awesome, very similar to Layne and didn't do anything different to the songs. Just got up there and belted them out! I couldn't believe how good they are live, good lord. The VH1 Rock Honors show was absolutely amazing! That was very tight! They are supposedly working on a new album and rumors are floating around they will hit the road with Velvet Revolver this summer.
what if just like them?
First time I ever heard Facelift this girl down the street came over, put it on and gave me a BJ to it. Good shit.
They were the first band I ever liked! Dirt was the first cd i had ever owned, my dad bought it for me when i was in 2 or 3 grade. i still listen to them to this day. they were one of the best bands ever( my opinion)!!!!
:iagree::hyper:this is the best thread ever!!yeah,im a huge aic fan,have been eversince facelift debuted when i was in high school.yeah aic is touring again..but its not aic w/out layne & never will be.
so ya know go out & get mad season`s album titled above.its a side band layne started in `94/95 w/ a few other great musicians & it is a f`n masterpiece:yup:
yes mad season is very good! pretty mellow. its badass
The jist of what you jus said sums it up for me anyawys. Alice In Chains is one of few bands that I liked when I was a lil kid and still like now. That really says something.Quote:
