Any record that has achieved greatness & recognition has cross genre appeal. You have to own or at least hear it even if you don't listen to that type of music. Nothing Alice In Chains have done does this.
Alternative rock and metal = cross genre appeal.
Like I said quite a dynamic fanbase and sound especially when taking the full out acoustic albums into consideration.
Fans of Smashing Pumpkins usually don’t know what black or death metal even is.


Quote:
Alice In Chains albums have 2 types of listeners.
People who listen to other dull stadium rock bands.
People who used to listen to dull stadium rock bands and bring it out once in a while for nostalgia purposes.
False. I’m neither, same with a lot of people I know. I don't listen to much "stadium rock", more of a metal, folk, punk, dream pop kind of guy.

Quote:
The only people who have bought Alice In Chains albums are people who want to listen to Alice in Chains and who would probably do so at some point anyway. Not one single person has ever bought an Alice In Chains album because of their greatness and impact on the world of music.
False. I have bought each album because of it's greatness. And just look at their album sales, awards etc.. Isn't that impact on the world of music??
What about the metal bands they've influenced??
