I LOVE AIC and listen to them more than any other band in my collection. All the albums out from Dirt to SAP or "Tripod" can match the mood you are in. Staley was a genius in terms of emotion with words and music. Not the best singing voice but that's not what AIC was about.

I went and got Jerry Cantrell's albums and Mad Season which was a compilation group from other grunge bands of the 90's.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING can imitate Staley and what he brought to AIC regardless of what others think of him here.

I miss that guy and wish he hadn't destroyed it all with drugs.

Im pretty sure I wont bother with this biography of Staley. His music was his biography in my opinion.

I saw AIC in about 1997.
One of the BEST concerts I ever went to. Top three, at least.

Alice In Chains is one of my all-time favorite bands. I never get tired of listening to Facelift or Dirt. I still get chills when I hear "Love Hate Love." Layne brought something very special to that band. I felt terrible when I heard about his death. What a waste.

Totally agree with you.


Funny too, you would mention Mad Season. It's whats in my CD player in my car. I've been listening to it for the last couple days.
