Alice in Chains debut album, "Facelift," was released in 1990 and the group quickly rose to prominence... In a 1996 interview with Rolling Stone magazine,... "now I'm walking through hell, and this sucks."

So by his own account, fully half of his career -- much enjoyed by his fans -- sucked. Let's at least hope that in their safe, clean, pseudo-taboo vicarious descent into junkie hell they got good value for their money.

By 96, there wasn't much of a career left. The self titled album, the last full length studio album of theirs came out in 96. Only the Unplugged album and a couple songs came after that. They quit touring that year as well....and only released box sets/best of/unreleased material after that.

I got my value. Their music was great.
