- 1. (alice in chains) (1581↑, 165↓)Best of their genre. Hands down.2. (Alice in Chains) (867↑, 88↓)Alice in Chains was an excellent hard rock band that came out of Seattle in the early 1990's. Although thought of as a [grunge] band due to local acts such as [Nirvana] and [Soundgarden] breaking into the mainstream around the same time of their second album release, their only musical tie to the genre was their dark and depressing subject matter. In addition to the dark subject matter, their music also featured gritty vocals courtesy of frontman [Layne Staley], amazing guitar riffs by virtuoso [Jerry Cantrell], and slick drum work by [Sean Kinney]. Their bassist, [Mike Inez], however was horrible beyond words. Past albums include "Jar of Flies", their magnum opus "Dirt", and the self-titled "Alice in Chains". The band unfortunately broke up due to internal strife and the unfortunate death of Layne Staley in April of 2002. The world would've been a much better place had there been at least one more AiC record to listen to... A compilation album is available for anyone wishing to get acquainted with this influential band.
Alice in Chains is hands down one of the best rock bands to ever exist.

Let's see you compare, let's say, Polly to Rooster. Let's see you compare Lithium to Man In The Box. Talk to me about music after you've made those comparisons. I guess, theoretically, you could compare Facelift to Bleach, but there is no comparison in my eyes. Dirt to Nevermind... fuckin' kiddin' me?Idiot - KRUT CBOAIN iS tHe VoIcE oF oUr GeNeRaTiOn\!

Author: Dugan http://alice-in-chains.urbanup.com/11132169. (Alice in Chains) (216↑, 20↓)THE best rock band in my opinion. Their music is deep, poetic, dark, emotional, beautiful and just fucking rocks. Awesome vocals from Layne Stanley. Awesome guitar solos and vocals from Jerry Cantrel. Some of their best songs include: Man in the Box, Nutshell, Angry Chair, Again, Rain When I Die, I Stay Away, Rooster, and GrindIt didn't really rain when Layne Stanley died.. Have you heard Nutshell? Its beautiful.

Author: friend of bob http://alice-in-chains.urbanup.com/67364815. (alice in chains) (126↑, 18↓)A grunge band that first came in 1990 with the release of their album "Facelift". Other albums/EPs include "Sap", "Jar of Flies", "Dirt", and "Alice in Chains". Alice in Chains was the darkest and best band of the grunge era. They were most recognized for their album "Dirt", in which Layne Staley, the lead singer, used heroin as his main inspiration. The band would break up in '95, and Layne would die from a heroin overdoze in 2002.Narcotic-inspired music is always great.
Author: aic_andy http://alice-in-chains.urbanup.com/71574116. (Alice In Chains) (91↑, 34↓)One of the greastest bands out there. Alice In Chains has to be the most underappreciated and unnoticed band during its time. With it's raw and intense vocals from frontman Layne Staley, and Jerry Cantrell's guitar riffs and songwriting, Sean Kinney on percussion and Mike Inez on bass. Layne Staley's vocals were so....great. His strange harmonies, the vibrato in his voice on the low, softness in the liteness, the soul in the dark heavyness, just makes his voice so unique and so versatile.The music created by them is so beautiful, and melancholy. Alice In Chains was more metal/alternative than grunge. Grung was created by Nirvana because they needed to promote themselves. What a joke. Pick up an Alice In Chains album. It will be the only band you'll think as being great, and you'll know what REAL music is like.Compare an Alice In Chains song to one of Nirvana's, and listen how Kurt Co-Bang sings in a whiny tone with no soul or emotion, and Layne Staley with his beautiful voice that you can fall asleep to. The only reason Kurt Co-Bang (cobain) wrote 'Smells like teen spirit' is because he didn't have a date to the prom. And the way he dressed? It was called 'grunge', but those were just clothes his mom picked out for him at the Goodwill. And he got first pick because she worked there.Alice In Chains kicks Nirvana's scrawny ass.Alice In Chains \> Nirvana
Author: Queen of the Rodeo http://alice-in-chains.urbanup.com/303650917. (Alice in Chains) (60↑, 6↓)Alice in Chains are definitely in the top five bands to ever walk the earth. Although labeled as "grunge" (due to the fact that they came from Seattle), they had a sound more reminiscent of metal. The EP's they released between albums were composed of emotional acoustic ballads.That over hyped two chord band Nirvana could never even dream of reaching the musical godliness of Alice in Chains.
