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.

Alice in Chains was an excellent hard rock band that came out of Seattle in the early 1990's. Although thought of as a grunge band due to local acts such as Nirvana and Soundgarden breaking into the mainstream around the same time of their second album release, their only musical tie to the genre was their dark and depressing subject matter.
In addition to the dark subject matter, their music also featured gritty vocals courtesy of frontman Layne Staley, amazing guitar riffs by virtuoso Jerry Cantrell, and slick drum work by Sean Kinney. Their bassist, Mike Inez, however was horrible beyond words.
Past albums include "Jar of Flies", their magnum opus "Dirt", and the self-titled "Alice in Chains".
The band unfortunately broke up due to internal strife and the unfortunate death of Layne Staley in April of 2002. The world would've been a much better place had there been at least one more AiC record to listen to...
A compilation album is available for anyone wishing to get acquainted with this influential band.

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.

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?
