THE most amazing band to have ever existed, full stop. You can have your Beatles, and Rolling Stones, and Led Zep, and Nirvana, al the bands that normally come up when the question 'dude, who is the greatest band ever?' comes up, but Alice kick all their asses. RIP Layne, Rock on forever.

I used to think Nirvana was the shit, until I realized how fucking inferior in talent and performance they are to Alice In Chains.

Fuck Nirvana. That's right, fuck Kurt Cobain. Fuck "Nevermind", fuck the baby, fuck Teen Spirit. AIC kicks Nirvana's ass. 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?
