1 of the big 4 grunge bands. Made some of the best fuckin bangers, featuring Layne Staley's amazing singing and Jerry Cantrell's amazing guitar skills. You may have heard some of they're songs like man in the box, them bones, would, down in a hole, nutshell and a shit ton more. Check out their unplugged, it's fuckin awesome. Alice in Chains and Nirvana are hands down my favorite grunge bands.

Alice in Chains (AIC for short) is an American grunge rock band which was formed in the late '80s. Along with Nirvana and Soundgarden, Alice in Chains is one of the best grunge rock bands to have ever existed (and my personal favourite one). With songs like "Man in the Box", "Rooster", "Rotten Apple", "Would?", "Again" and their best album "DIRT" they talk about fear, depression, axniety, sorrow and anger. Unfortunately their vocalist Layne Staley died in 2002 by heavy drugs usage. Now their are still performing with William Duvall as the vocalist and have brough albums like "Black Gives Way to Blue" (2009) and "The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here" (2013). One of the best, if not the best, grunge rock bands to have ever existed.
"I know Nirvana is a good band, bu Alice in Chains kick ass when it comes to grunge rock"
"I bought the "Facelift" album by Alice in Chains today morning! Gonna blast it to full volume now!"

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.

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

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.

Alice in Chains are the best band ever
