It’s the difference between “punk” and “metal,” generally. Nirvana’s sound was raw and repetitive while AiC was loud and complex. I was a big fan of both. Cobain’s lyrics were cryptic while Layne’s were in-your-face.
It’s tragic we lost both to the same demon, but I’m glad that Dave Grohl and Jerry Cantrell are still out there rocking.
Yeah, me too.
I also thought Layne’s voice and style of singing was spectacular.
