Alice in Chains (AiC) is an American rock band from Seattle, Washington, formed in 1987 by guitarist and vocalist Jerry Cantrell and drummer Sean Kinney, who later recruited bassist Mike Starr and lead vocalist Layne Staley. Starr was replaced by Mike Inez in 1993. William DuVall joined the band in 2006 as co-lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist, replacing Staley, who had died in 2002. The band took its name from Staley's previous group, the glam metal band Alice N' Chains.

Will there be more vocal variety on the next album.

It would be nice to see Will get more leads, and also have Sean make his long awaited return after Love Song. Maybe give Inez a song for good measure and be like the Beatles , where all 4 members sing!

Nutshell grabbed me by the balls and wouldn’t let go

Nutshell came on my Amazon station while out running errands. I turned up the volume to the edge of distortion, belted out the words I’ve heard thousands of times and hit repeat at least 20 times and did it all over again and again. I swear I know sometimes he hears it and knows he has touched so many people. This song will never leave my soul.

Anyone else notice how huge the lyric sheet font is for unplugged?

This is from nutshell so a shorter song to be fair, but the font seems pretty big I’m gonna see if there’s good shots of the lyric sheet on other songs

Anyone seen this design before?

I picked this up thrifting and wondered whether it looked familiar to anyone! I love it and love how it’s new-era Alice (I have plenty of Dirt and Jar of Flies shirts already). Anyone seen this one before? Tag is Independent Trading Company.

I've been a fan for decades and only recently discovered this song. Feels like a "lost" AiC song from a different time. Love Jerry's solo work as well. Anyone else missed this one?

Gave it a shot!

Not great, but not terrible! Just hoping at least one random person stopping by my house got the reference. Also had creepy songs blaring like Dirt, Angry Chair and I want Blood (among others).

Tried my hand and "Put You Down" - so-so song with great riffs. Fun to play and very challenging to get the picking right.

“We Die Young” in COD BO6

This is a random post, but I thought it was cool to note that in the new Call Of Duty Black Ops 6, there’s a map called “Stakeout” which is an apartment building setting, and in one of the rooms you will hear “We Die Young” being played.

Again I know this is a very random post but when I first heard it for myself and Alice In Chains being my favorite band, I had to spread the news lol.

Why are Tripod CDs in different colors?

Looking online I found Self-titled/Tripod CDs in Yellow-Green, Purple, and Black and White. What’s the difference if any between them?

After listening to them, do you also feel really depressed?

I've been listening to them a whole lot lately and I've noticed that i feel very sad. More so than before. Is that normal? It sucks because I love them. I just feel very very upset after listening to them all day.

What’s an AIC song that you absolutely LOVE but you rarely find yourself choosing to listen to it?

For me, the first one that comes to mind is Would? It’s a masterpiece of a song and I love it to death, but I just noticed that I barely ever go out of my way to listen to it, whereas I’ll play other AIC more often that I also love, but don’t think are quite as good as Would? I’m not I’m sure if it’s because I overplayed it when I was first getting into the band, but I’m just curious what song is like that for you all, if any.

Went to London signing, dude with Jerry was obnoxious af

I went to both signings in London, just left the second. As I approached the table where Jerry was signing albums, dude that works with him says “didn’t we see you the other day?” So I spend the 3 milliseconds one has with the riff lord explaining myself to this dude. He was also obnoxious with the young boy before me. Jerry was smiling and asked the boy if he’s going to play the guitar, this dude starts saying something about playing the guitar, over what the boy said.

Don’t even know why I’m posting this. But dude. Shut up. This is a young boy meeting the riff lord. Let him talk to the person he’s here to see.
