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...

        ------ About the song Man in the Box performed by Alice In Chains

    I have a funny story.Alright when I was a little kid I heard this song and I distinctly heard him say "buried in my shit".Later in life I heard this song again and he said "buried in my pit".I soon was brainwashed into believing I was crazy and heard things wrong.Then I look up these lyrics and find out he does say "SHIT"!!!DAMNIT I HATE CENSORS!!!!!!!!

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

    I just saw the current Alice in Chains in Tx. They were awesome and Jerry's dad, known as the Rooster, was there. He introduced him before they sang Rooster. It made the song seem that much more intense. Loved it.

        ------ About the song I Can't Remember performed by Alice In Chains

    Emo harmony? Excuse me but how old are you? Alice in Chains is amazing. Why don't you go watch degrassi and cry about it. AiC is one of the best bands there is, grow the hell up and get a taste in music you freak. And this song is awesome!


    Black Gives Way to Blue | Reviewer: Misty
        ------ About artist/band Alice In Chains

    All Secrets Known introduces you to the new album Black Gives Way to Blue. Check My Brain is an upbeat realization of years gone and heartache. Last of My Kind is a badass song! It’s right up their with Grind for me. I hope they play this one live on their tour! Your Decision is a cathardic mellow song. The chorus gets to the core of the message in a relaxing Alice in Chains way that no other band could pull off. Then, A Looking in View gets that dirty rock vibe pumping hard. Turn your speakers up on this one! Black Gives Way to Blue ends the CD with a haunting brillance! It’s a beautiful song with Elton John on piano. You’ll want to play this one over and over again for sure.

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

    well, being rational, music doesn't cause much of anything. maybe an emotional response, but each response is an individuals view of house the music affected him/her.

    and the whole part about feeling better dead only means he would rather be dead than controlled. but that doesn't mean he'd go out and kill himself because someone was controlling him. soooo....

    I like the song, and admire the music capabilities of the band. don't judge the music because it isn't at fault.


    Awesome. | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Rooster performed by Alice In Chains

    I live in australia, and these guys (with new singer) came to the soundwave music festival and played this. it was amazing, tho slightly diminished without layne, this song rocks. hope its on their new albulm. And for you american militarians posting on this, get a life. no one cares about the war in the middle east anymore. its why all countrys are pulling out. i find it funny that america is the 5th most feared military, 1st indonisia, second australia, third germany.

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

    This song is a very strong way of explaining how LAYNE felt and how even as loved as his music was, he did not feel himself. The lyrics are beautiful and Layne's voice in this song is absolutly chilling. For anybody to place blame on Layne's struggles and addictions for their own misfortune has NO IDEA what it's like to be under and alone. Many times I want to thank Layne Stanley for giving me a song that related to my own issues to guide me. Without some of these lyrics I do not think I would have ever over come the addiction. I am sorry for your loss, Irritated, But I have had an opposite effect from the song and if I did not have these songs to listen to when I was alone I seriously do not think I would've had the strength to realize that I was not alone all this time.

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

    “…I said that the song encouraged the action. I never said that it caused the action…”

    Encouraged - urge somebody to do something: to motivate somebody to take a course of action or continue doing something.

    Caused - what makes something happen: a person or thing that makes something happen or exist or is responsible for something that happens.

    You’re basically saying the same thing. For example, if I encourage someone to play in traffic, that’s going to be the cause when they ultimately get hit.

    It’s ridiculous to blame and/or hate this song for something your cousin did to himself. I’m sorry for your family’s loss and all but the artist has NO responsibility over the emotional state of their listener, nor what said listener does while their song is playing. Listening to a depressing song doesn’t lead to suicide; I love this song and I couldn’t be happier.

    If we’re going to play the let's-blame-the-music-game for the actions of the listener then let’s start with rap music, shall we? Gang violence. Gunshots. Gang banging ho’s. Now let’s analyze this logically. Does rap encourage or cause all the murders or rapes in the world?. No. Can we blame Techno for every person that’s dropping Acid right now? No. Just like we can't blame every alternative/metal/whatever-genre-you-want-to-call-it song that mentions depression as the cause of a suicide.

    There are far more depressing songs out there than “Nutshell“ -- “Gloomy Sunday” (also called the Hungarian Suicide Song) for one, just about every country song known to man for two, and there are even classical pieces I listen to that ooze depression but they‘ve never driven me or any of my friends (who listen to the same stuff) to suicide; if anything it's helped us through a period of depression. Had he been listening to anything other than a grungy Seattle metal band’s song, I doubt we’d even be having this discussion. People don't normally off themselves to shit like "Lady Humps" though so here we sit...

    The fact of the matter remains, the only person responsible for your cousins death is your cousin.

    Hasn’t the metal world been through this enough with Ozzy and Judas Priest already???

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

    If you can understand correctly i said that the song encouraged the action.I never said that it caused the action.So you should read closer and comprehend before you comment.My cousin did try to get help but the hospital turned him down. How DARE you judge him when you never knew him.Also how dare you blame my family!Think before you speak. Didn't anyone ever teach you that?


    It's about Andrew Wood | Reviewer: biff
        ------ About the song Would? performed by Alice In Chains

    The guy who invented grunge in the early-mid 80s, but died young in 90 before Nirvana made grunge famous.

    And yes Alice in Chains were more like a "grim" version of Poison when they started, and then went into grunge because all those pop-metal bands were being dumped.


    aic & pj. | Reviewer: moe
        ------ About the song Alone performed by Alice In Chains

    ok so i went to myspace and listend and it does sound like its downface but then i checked to make sure the singer sounded the ame in his other songs and he didnt. then i checked it against a pearl jam song and that is definatly eddie vedder singing.


    Say What? | Reviewer: Tim
        ------ About the song Fear The Voices performed by Alice In Chains

    I don't know how accurate these lyrics are. The ones I guessed at seem to fit better! It sounds to me like a movement song. Like maybe the governor was trying to pass something they didn't like? I don't know - anyway - The song does kick ass and I was really excited to hear a NEW(new to me) AIC song aftr all these years!


    Song lyrics | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Sludge Factory performed by Alice In Chains

    I've a better understanding of it now after reading the other interpretations. Obviously drug addiction plays a part in the song but I also think there's an element of alienation in it and that's reflected in the spoken word section, i.e.: "vultures, liars and thieves.....", and "the breaking of the spirit thwarts the whole being". Was the spoken word section intentionally omitted from the CD inlay or the record sleeve cuz it kinda sounded random in a way, or was it too long to print?


    why bring states in??? | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Rooster performed by Alice In Chains

    All the dude was saying was that Texas still loves the troops..No one is trying to give Texas credit for the American Revolution. Either way, every state sends brave men and women, and agree with the war or not, they still need our support. Anyways, this song is not about individual statehood or anything, how pissed is Jerry Cantrell that this is what kind of reviews his songs are getting?


    This is a great song. | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Nutshell performed by Alice In Chains

    Great song.........Great band.. Always saddens me to think of the Great talent we lost all so close to each other....Layne, Bradley,Kurt and Hoon. Imagine if they had lived where the music would have gone..I'm sure we wouldn't have the crap we have today..

    BTW don't blame the song..Blame your family maybe you all should have seen what was coming .


    great release | Reviewer: edub
        ------ About artist/band Alice In Chains

    I was running sound for a local band and the highlight of the night each weekend was when I got called up to do "man in the box". Now the band i work for now is learning "would?". Feels good to pour something out there at let everyone feel it.

There a meds for that kind of shit... so Fuck You on hating on a awesome Song that has gotten me through some really hard times in my life!


    wow | Reviewer: Joe halmagyi
        ------ About artist/band Alice In Chains

    AIC awsome band Im sorry I missed out on most of there stuff only cause I was useing heavy amounts of crank through the 90's I did get to see one show in 91 or 92in yakima or spokane now that my head is clear I get to hear them 4 the first time allthough Ive been playing them 4 years say no to drugs


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

    I think that this song is about what Layne sees around him. He observes human society and feels that there is no hope for us. Since Layne was extremely empathetic, this fueled a sense of sorrow that was unbearable, especially if he had major depression.

    Innocence is over. Ignorance is spoken. Confidence is broken. Sustenance is stolen. Arrogance is potent.

    I repent tomorrow. I suspend my sorrow.

    A romance is fallen. Recommend you borrow.

    The first set includes observations of humans, the state of our society and our continual destructive actions. The second two describe the will to fight on, at least for individual happiness. The last two express his disillusionment, and he is basically saying that you should borrow while you can, and either enjoy yourself now or prepare for chaos.

    Yeah, What I see is unreal
    I've written my own part
    Eat of the apple, so young
    I'm crawling back to start

    The apple is a biblical reference, not for any religious reason but because it is such a well known story. Now we crawl back to death, to Eden, to something that we hope can be stable and peaceful.
