I have been an Alice In Chains fan since they came out! I cried the day Layne died! He was awesome! Wish he had realized how awesome he was, he may still be here if he did!

I like all of your choices. One of my favorites is Again, pretty up-tempo for AIC, kind of a punk-rock song. I'm sure you've heard it
My other favorites:
Heaven Beside You-the song that got me into AIC
Would?
Got Me Wrong
Down in a Hole (one of the best songs when you're feeling down, I usually don't listen to these kind of lyrics, but man, it's such a good song.)
Over time, this seems to be my favorite early 90's Seattle grunge band along with Pearl Jam>Soundgarden>Nirvana. I.E. they're all great:::hphones:

you don't like anything off of sap?

Got me wrong and brother were the only ones that made the top 40 cut. To make the top 40 list it needs to be a classic song that you can play over and over without getting bored of it. The album just didn't have that element as much as I would have liked.

yeah, would? rokzors

i love all there songs but my favorite song would have to be Rooster

So out of their albums (yes, I own them all)
Facelift - 12 songs
Sap - 4 song (plus a secret song)
Dirt - 12 songs
Jar of Flies - 7 songs
Alice In Chains - 12 songs
Live - 2 new songs
Nothing Safe - 2 new songs
The Essential - 1 new song

52 songs and you go for a top 40? Why not all of them?

id have to say my favorite album is the Jar of Flies Ep, the whole album is so moving and bleak at the same time, Dirt is a close 2nd

i cant really pick a favorite song

Alice in Chains is one of my all-time favourite bands. I haven't heard the new singer yet, but their old stuff is still just as good to me, if not better, than when it was released. Probably better because the songs have now aged into good wine for the soul.

yeah, I didn't used to like Alice in Chains in the 90's, or N.I.N. or Pink Floyd. That all changed. AIC do seem to get better with age, like Floyd or Zeppelin. Didn't know that had a new singer, I doubt he could be very good.

I actually heard he's supposed to be pretty awesome, though I haven't heard and so I won't say for sure. That's what I've heard, though.
I better check them out one of these days.

man, it makes me crazy when people call AIC "Grunge".

True enough. They're a Metal band.

I really cant stand this band...I dunno, their songs just really really annoy me

They're grunge. *runs away*

So what about the other 90% of their songs?

Why? They were a well-known part of the scene. The point that "they were metal" doesn't disqualify them from "grunge" at all, as the latter isn't a stylistic classification - a well-attested fact.

You're allowed. No one will hold it against you. It's not like I'm in the band or anything....
That's what is so fun about discussing music. Perhaps you would like to qualify your annoyance?

Aw, you seam to be very nice:)
That's the thing, I just cant explain why I don't like them. Maybe it's the singers voice or something, but I dunno, when I hear there songs I have to turn them off, cuz they always seam to give me a headache.

Yeah, the ex-lead singer's voice was pretty unique: he had one of those voices that you either loved, or absolutely hated.
You're not the first person to make such an observation.

I can see how his accent might be slightly obnoxious, but it doesn't bother me. I think Layne Staley was one of the best vocalists of the 90s.

It doesn't matter how great a day I'm having, how fast paced the day is, how great my life is. Nutshell always slows it down and makes me calm. I ****ing love it. One of the greatest songs I've ever heard.

Yeah, I agree. Sap has that effect on me too; that is such a sweet album.

Alice in chains were quite popular before that whole"grunge" movement really took hold of the states....personally i wouldn't classify them as a metal band either.....I think people now are too obsessed with making a new genre labels for every band they hear....its rock and roll..simple as that......so is grunge, emo, punk, whatever you want to call yourselves based on how you or your friends dress ( i don't mean that as a personal attack toward the person i quoted, just generalizing)....it's rock music.

You're right about that: Alice in Chains was popular before the whole "grunge" fad.

Hey, at least you agree. :)

GRunge is dead ?

What does the movie look like?

My fav song is probably Nutshell. The whole EP is great.

My fav line is probably one from Junkhead. "You can't understand a user's mind. But try with your books and degrees." Layne's delivery is perfect.

I'd kinda forgotten about Alice in Chains...

I still have their self-titled (or Tripod) purple plastic cassette!! I was pretty young then, but I still like God Am and Grind, and Sludge Factory.

The group does sound a tiny bit like Nirvana, but Laynes' lyrics are more to the point. Almost like he wrote before getting ripped. Kurt on the other hand, well....

It really all sounds like Rock to me. Call it, Metal, Grunge, Hard Rock whatever... It's just sub-species classification. :crazy:

I dont really like them, they are ok but never got why there considered "Grunge". To me there more of a hair band to be honest. But i do like the song "Them Bones"

If you like AIC, you have got to hear "Them Bones". It is one of there best songs in my opinion, and the guitar is really awesome.

I definitely like their slower stuff better than their faster stuff. They did gloomy and depressing really well but kind of sucked when they tried to rock out. Unfortunately, more often than not they opted to try and rock out.

The Rooster rocked.

GREATEST BAND EVER!

Would, Them Bones, Down in a hole, Rooster, Angry chair, Man in a Box, ... all classics, all!

Layne Staley RIP!

I like unplugged better than any of the others I've heard.
Nutshell would have to be my favorite song.

Alot of AIC fans would probably enjoy Mad Season.
It's kind of like a supergroup thing that Staley participated in.

If you want to hear anything, lookup the song "River Of Deceit".
