1987. The wonderful year marked with the birth of Alice in
Chains. It all started in Seattle,WA at a party. It just so
happened that an extremely talented guitarist named Jerry
Cantrell was attending this party along with the man that
sings like a lark, Layne Staley.
At that time, Layne was involved in a glam band which was
growing stale. When he met and hit it off with Jerry that
night, Jerry threw out the brilliant idea that they should
start a band together. Layne agreed. Now there were two.

Jerry knew a man by the name of Mike Starr who agreed to
play bass for the new band. Now all they needed was a
drummer. (Layne could play of course, but as you know, he
enjoys vocals) Luckily, Mike introduced the others to Sean
Kinney, a crazy drummer who was dating Mike's More...

    Review about Alice In Chains

    AlicenChains 4-ever! | Reviewer: layla s.
        ------ About artist/band Alice In Chains

    As long as i can rememer, every freakn time i listen to aic i get into a daze, that's so hard for me to get out of! Maybe it's b-cuz most of the things layne did in his life, i lived it too!
    As an addict, and a fan its hard to see someone important go. It's like u never want to say goodbye. Hopefully the new band will bring good tunes like the old ones! We love u Layne!~RIP~

        ------ About the song Rooster performed by Alice In Chains

    Too many people are so out of touch with reality now a days...especially the reality of Americas best defending this great soil! God bless EVERY serviceman and woman! I am not a soldier, I chose to work in the refinery and chemical business, but I was raised to be a patriot, and to respect all people but even more so the soldier, the vetran who gives all so I can live here and be free. GOD bless you all and I love ya'll. Texas still loves our soldiers even though some whack headed liberal nut jobs in Cali, and the upper east coast, try to bad mouth them...screw them, send them to the rag head nation to see what it's like, maybe it'll change their minds a bit!


    Yeah it's over now... | Reviewer: Toth Andrei
        ------ About the song Over Now performed by Alice In Chains

    This is one of the most beautiful songs ever. It's the perfect closer song for Alice in Chains' last album with Layne. It's also creepy because it foreshadows the fact that it would be their last song on their last album and that it's... over. Amazing epic song...


    the man was a true vocal geniuss, n god! | Reviewer: Mr. Man
        ------ About the song Rotten Apple performed by Alice In Chains

    i had the rare chance to meet the man layne himself 3 times.... he was so not the way some uninformed people would think someone on any drug would be.... a very special man, and as polite, and just amazing a person to say the least! even as he spoke person to person youd expect his voice to have that slight nervous sound as when he spoke on stage.... but when u talked to him in person his voice was just powerful vocally. we aall love u layne! R.I.P


    necromagnum | Reviewer: Connor
        ------ About the song Rotten Apple performed by Alice In Chains

    While I do agree that in rock music enunciation and pronunciation are oft-sacrificed, the line in Man In the Box is "Feed my eyes", and live you can here it a lot better. Love the talk box and harmonized vocals in this song. Beautiful.


    Marine Mom.. | Reviewer: Liza
        ------ About the song Rooster performed by Alice In Chains

    I am 36 and my 19 yr old son is a marine..He is goin to Afgani..So this song really gets to me it always has..My uncle was a p.o.w for 5 years in vietnam...He was a gunner in the army..Regardless of the way Layne died it does not deflect from his music..People should not judge him..He was broken inside and his sorrow came out in his music..It should also remind everyone to rally around our troops..They risk there lives for our freedom..and wether you agree are not they are someones sons and daughters..TO my son and all his buddies in the marines and the army...Do are die..Semper Fi!!


    I lived it.. | Reviewer: Rooster..
        ------ About artist/band Alice In Chains

    Alice in chains are nothing without the vocals of Layne..That voice was remarkable and it stood out amongst such greats as..soundgarden and even the great Nirvana!!His death was sad..For someone to pour their soul into there music and lose ones life to a needle is heartbreaking! Just like kurt he gave us all he had and he had nothing left..Layne was a beautiful soul who was broken inside that is why he could so easily convey the deep dark and sometimes intoxicating sadness..A sorrow that anyone with a broken spirit would understand and know that they were not alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    I'd feel better dead | Reviewer: Ben
        ------ About the song Nutshell performed by Alice In Chains

    This is the most powerful song I've ever heard. The lyrics are incredibly deep and full of sorrow. Whenever I hear this song it makes me think of all the mistakes I've made, and how many times I feel being dead would be better.


    Oh... | Reviewer: Corpse
        ------ About artist/band Alice In Chains

    This band is the most inspirational band I've ever listened to. I love Layne & Jerry to death, and although I'm fourteen (and therefore was seven when Staley died), I have all of their songs and really admire them. Alice in Chains (in my opinion) is THE greatest Seattle Grunge Band. (Though people would argue tons on that...)

    I haven't heard William DuVall yet, but I'm anxious about it. Who knows...?


    Other Than Man in the Box... | Reviewer: metalamor
        ------ About the song It Ain't Like That performed by Alice In Chains

    I think this song exemplifies the feel of darker '90s rock. Other than Man in the Box, this song really is an example of Alice in Chains' best music. Layne Staley's singing is like Ozzy Osbourne's: dark and strung-out, but nobody, and I mean nobody, can sing quite like him.


    Why does my review need a title? | Reviewer: necromagnum
        ------ About the song Rotten Apple performed by Alice In Chains

    I just wanted to know if anyone else questioned the line, "A romance is fallen"? It sounds to me like he says "Aeromance", which isn't technically a word, but aeromancy is. Unfotunately, for my arguement, aeromancy is the prediction of the future by way of observing weather patterns (no, I don't just know this random, archaic word. I looked it up before I wrote this). This word doesn't fit with the rest of the song, but whenever I hear it, I just don't hear "A romance". Maybe "Air Romance", or "Aeromance". Maybe Layne just ran "a" and "romance" together for effect. They always put enunciation and pronunciation second to musical effect. Like in Man in the Box. Fee-ee-e-e-ade my eyes...

    love alice in chains | Reviewer: brandon
        ------ About the song Would? performed by Alice In Chains

    Alice in chains is one of my favorite bands. In my opinion Layne has a better voice than Kurt. It just sounds amazing and original. It is a real shame that he left so early. The music world truly lost an exceptional artist and singer. There will never be another one like Layne. This has to be my favorite song by Alice in chains.

        ------ About the song Don't Follow performed by Alice In Chains

    "I love this song. Layne's mother said this was a song he wrote to share his pain of heroin with the rest of the world...to tell people not to follow cause its a terrible way to live. R.I.P."

    Yea, except that Jerry Cantrell wrote this song, not Layne. Shows what you know.


    my gift of self is raped | Reviewer: a grateful recovering addict
        ------ About the song Nutshell performed by Alice In Chains

    it brings tears to my eyes whenever i hear this song, in one way or another we can all relate to great music no matter who sings it. i saw an interview with layne and the rest of AIC and they asked him what do ur song lyrics mean (or somethin along those lines) he simply replies "whatever u want them to mean." thats what a great artist can do it may mean one thing for somebody and somethin totally different for another person, its all a point of view. for me i saw my bottom comin up real fast and luckily enough i was able to get away from that part of my life after 13 years of use and abuse. not everyone is as lucky as me, alot of people lose the fight and too many of our most talented and gifted die too young. R.I.P. Layne u r lost but never forgotten.


    Keep Going | Reviewer: Geno
        ------ About artist/band Alice In Chains

    Alice in Chains rocks!! They always have, and they always will! We miss you, Layne. You could never be replaced, but the music honors you. It is great hearing A.I.C. rock again. Keep rocking!!!


    Amazing | Reviewer: Bone
        ------ About the song Rooster performed by Alice In Chains

    the first time i heard this song was a few years back, and it was on the nothing safe: best of the box album. this was also the live version of this song, which is even better than the studio version. when i heard this song i was absolutely lost in the music. this song holds so much power, its just amazing for an entire band to come together and put out such amazing music live. i also agree with grungy-soul, we need to let go of the mistakes people make (staley's drug abuse) and remember him for the music. he has inspired me and my writing. i know staley is still rocking out in heaven. R.I.P


    Layne is amazing | Reviewer: Sarah
        ------ About the song Rotten Apple performed by Alice In Chains

    Ive been an AIC fan since 93, grew up in seattle but I was into hardcore punk at the time, my bro aought an AIC album and I instantly fell in luv. Layne and Jerry are amazing vocally, cant listen to them w/out feeling empty, I miss Layne so much! He knew he was dying :( RIP LAYNE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!


    pwnsme. | Reviewer: lee.
        ------ About the song Them Bones performed by Alice In Chains

    i saw the newly reformed alice in chains in march and it reminded me of how much i used to love them. to be honest, i wasn't too keen on the idea of a new singer but they put on a great show and i was really impressed. can't wait for the new album.


    If I can't be my own...I'd feel better dead | Reviewer: Grungy-Soul
        ------ About the song Nutshell performed by Alice In Chains

    Layne is gone, Alice is quiet. But the music lives on and somewhere there is another Layne waiting for his moment to touch us all. We have our season in the sun and then we are gone. Layne is at peace and so too should we.
    nutshell was one of the most passionate song of our time, this song reflected that.first for the words which have influenced us and helped us a lot,cuz the dark & emotive lyrics of nutshell are very much mirrored the pain we felt.
    Layne Staley !!! I OWE YOU MY SOBRIETY MAN!! thanks for all \m/
