sad death of Layne Staley But the sporadic work eventually ground to a halt, as Staley seemed more interested in feeding his drug habit than pursuing music. His life took a turn for the worst in 1996 when his fiancée died from drugs, which friends say made the former Alice in Chains frontman blot out the pain with further drug abuse. During the last few years of his life, Staley rarely left his Seattle condominium, and refused to answer the door or phone when former bandmates or friends came around to check on the singer's condition (which had supposedly deteriorated to the point that he had lost most of his teeth and had abscesses all over his arms). Although it shouldn't have come as quite a surprise, the rock music world was shocked when Staley's dead body was found on a sofa in his condo, the victim of a lethal overdose of heroin and cocaine. Since the body had been in the apartment for two weeks and had begun to decompose, it was hard to determine at first the exact date of Staley's passing. Eventually, a date was determined, which proved to be eerie — April 5, 2002 — exactly eight years to the day that another leading figure of the early '90s Seattle rock scene also took his life, Kurt Cobain. |

as much as this record fascinates me, every time it makes me wonder how it's possible to write so many songs about pain, addiction, suffering etc. whilst still rocking the fuck out. i mean, these lyrics express anguish on a seriously personal level. how can it still be enjoyable to listen to? i'm not sure i understand. |

dunno he was a true wizard a true star |

i still remember being in middle school and hearing of his death for the first time, as well as speedball. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, also, yeah, they rock hard. one of the best grunge bands, next to nirvana and early pearl jam and stp. things like this make me want to get into the melvins already. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can appreciate it. haven't listened to dirt for years. it'll be a good excuse to dig it out. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, sweet nostalgia. . . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't like facelift... but when dirt came out i got into them... then i tried to give facelift another go, but i still didn't like it... dirt is one of my fav albums from the 90s! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
oh shit! thansk for remindin me! they play on the 26th right down the street from my house and tix are $10.67!!!!!!!!!!!!! JAJAJA |

sorry to piss on your parade, but who, other than yourself, are you kidding when you are going to see a band of which the singer is dead? nirvana doesnt exist anymore for a reason. why does alice in chains still pretend to exist? it boggles my mind. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nutshell was a great song |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just wanna hear the band play live shit that they wrote sorry lane you shouldn't have od'd, idgaf who sings really jerry sang a lot of songs too and their voices both have that distinctive sound making them recognizably aic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The shows in the US got good reviews |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i figured out 'idgaf' means 'i dont give a fuck' but i'm stuck on 'aic' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its an abbreviation for '90s butt rock' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so i must be only one to think this album is boring, most of it. i prefer Mad Season |
||||||||

yes, alice in chains are FAV+, grunge out ! |
||||||||

"yeah, they rock hard. one of the best grunge bands, next to nirvana and early pearl jam and stp." I have to say, I completely agree with and support this statement. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they always seemed like one step away from motley crue or aerosmith to me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so, does anyone have an answer as to why this essentially sad music is so enjoyable to rock out to? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sad? how so, not at all in my ears, the nirvanas, the pearl jams, the alice in chains, someof the stps, arnt sad at all, it just rawks, the end rad smiles: i know you didnt just dis THE CRUE. aerosmith are ghey |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah....true that they all RAWK in their own way, but putting them all in the same bag is not cool. it's not cool, i say |

Facelift is ok/pretty good. Dirt is awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A Wizard, A True Star is also a very good album (though Todd Rundgren is often too pop-oriented for me — i didn't like Something/Anything? quite as much for instance). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I saw them twice last year (October) and again this year, same month. And they fucking ROCK! they play old shit & about 5 songs from Dirt. I'll see them again |
||||||||
|

|
|
bwa ha ha butt rock 4 eva |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok i see.i love them both.Todd Rundgren is a musical genius. |
||||||||
|

Jar of flies = Awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
DAMMIT!!! they fuckin cancelled their show tonight cuz of the stupid dumb gay fires |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jar of flies is their best nutshell best song |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love alot of what AIC did...but I would have to go with the "Unplugged" as the most beautiful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what to you think about SAP EP, i think it's much better than Jar of FILES. much more energy and sexier melodies. gonna grab my acoustic guitar in a moment and start strumming, SERIOSLY |
||||||||
|

to=do |

|
|
sorry to be a disagreeing prick but i do not agree with that statement. what about sonic youth, pixies, melvins, soundgarden, mudhoney etc...? imhotep nirvana, pearl jam and stp were not as good, they just received more attention. they still rock though. anyway, i always enjoyed alice in chains' sound. never gave a fuck about the lyrics. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree...The SAP EP really caught my attention more than jar of Flies. Both are good albums, but I always found myself listening to SAP more often. |

i'm playing "man in the box" from Facelift this track ROCKS |

Wow yeh I love 'Dirt'. I'm surprised so many suspected 'IDM'-elitists would ever (admit to) ever liking it. 'Rain when I Die' & 'Down in a Whole' are so rad dude~! Never really did check out much of their other stuff. But i love 'No Excuses' on the unplugged album, and of course 'Man in the Box' is just a classic tune i came across when i was young. But yeh 'Dirt' is a special album. 'Rooster' about his Dad...oh and just the fucking relentless pain in his voice and words all the way through. In the words of Clay Davis... 'Shiiiiiyt'. |
