Alice in Chains

[Calvin Phillips]

Going to see them on Wednesday. Gonna be a great show. Anyone listen to them or follow them? Maybe ed lol. I will try to get some videos if anyone is curious, I dont know how strict the massey hall will be with phones seeing its a legit music hall.

 

[Daniel Sobota]

One of my favorite bands growing up. First exposure of them was seeing Would? being played on VH1, then I heard them on GTA: San Andreas. All of that happened when I was about 7-8 years old, so I’ve been listening the band for about 12 years now. Longer than A7X haha.

I posted a long response and it got lost because of site maintenance. Summary:
Band: good
Jerry Cantrell (guitar): Good
Heroin: Bad
Man in the Box: most widely recognizable song.
Should be fun.

 

[Bartosz Tkaczyk]

I watched their unplugged live show and i really like Would and Down in a Hole, someday i will definitely listen to whole discography.

 

[Ed Seith]

@Bartosz, there is a Greatest Hits album that would be a good starter.

 

[Calvin Phillips]

Greatest hits is nice, but if youw ere a fresh listener, I suggest deciding against the older or newer stuff. A LOT of fans hate the newer stuff due to the new singer. But if you are one who can look past that, their whole discography is worth taking a peak at. I also have listened to Alice in chains longer then A7X.. not by a lot, maybe a few months. But Jerry Cantrell is a great example of how you can be good at guitar without really any complicated shreds on his albums. I dont really think he has anything TOO difficult, but it all sounds amazing. Just an example of how you dont HAVE to be fast to be good. His wah effects are also out of this world.

Think I picked a song from every album with Layne.


^ new singer William. I love both versions personally. These are some of my favourites from each album. Tried to pick some that you might like as they are heavier but not all their songs are heavy.

 

[Eric Kane]

I have been listening to Alice in Chains since the beginning, and I love both versions. Layne Staley was great obviously, but William is very good also, and I think the character of the band has stayed the same. Jerry Cantrell is awesome!
Favorite songs: Them Bones, Heaven Beside You, Sea of Sorrow, Would?, Down in a Hole, A Looking in View, Stone
