I've got Dirty, Jar Of Flies and S/T.

Gonna get Unplugged later.

I like Jar Of Flies, not listened to their S/T yet though.

i always really liked 'the nothing song' from the S/T. it's the one about peanut butter on the brain haha

apparently they were having a hard time in the studio with that track. couldn't get the chorus right, people getting tired and pissed off, etc. apparently after a blowout around 7:30 Staley took a break and everything clicked while he was getting air (and presumably getting some peanut butter on haha)

Alice In Chains
Newer - Check My Brain and A Looking In View

I think they have a pretty unique sound, and its weird how its classed as grunge (same as Nirvana) and yet they both sound completely and utterly different.
Both both awesome

Yeah, "Nothing Song" is definitely one of those AIC tracks that you have to let go of all previous Chains expectations in order to get into it. Really ****in' whacked out. Kind of like the last track from the Sap EP, "Love Song" (some people know it as "Bleeding Gums"). "I love you. I'm not coming back, bitch. I can't see! I can't see!"

"Frogs" actually turned into one of my favorite late AIC songs after a long time of listening to them, where as when I was a kid, it was just one of those tracks that kind of got ignored. Kind of like "Head Creeps", which is also a really awesome song.

That is the worst AiC song I've ever heard (though I haven't heard the new album except for a few songs). That song really turned me off from them after Dirt...to the point I didn't even check out the album it's from until last year. I was like, WTF is this shit?!

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.

I'm fairly new to this band (I know... I was under a rock) but I'm totally loving Your Decision. Really fits with me right now.

They're awesome in concert. I saw them the other night and while I knew it wouldve been better with Layne I was pleasantly surprised at how the new singer is live.
