Pouring out a 40oz of Starbucks....

33 here I wonder what the median age is for this site. I have to pinch myself when I hear that Alice in Chains is a classic group.

Yeah, I agree. But thinking about it, the early 90's are to us what the Doors were to my dad in the early 80's. I remember him bitching about Riders on the Storm playing on a 'classic rock' station.

Suicide by drugs. I remember he apparently was 6'1 or so and weight 85lbs around the time of his death. Said he didn't give a shit the drugs were killing him. Damn shame man, unplugged album was also my favorite, and AIC is one of my top 5 bands. Crazy thing about this band, drugs really destroyed it considering Mike Starr just OD'd a few weeks ago.

Alice in chains was my fav. I remember her there tied to my bed in chains waiting for me to rape her. Opps ya mean the band. Wrong post.

Great post! I will be listening to AIC for weeks again now. )

And some of you all feel old. Jeez....wait till your 48. LOL!

RIP

I think this song from Mad Season shows his range and talent pretty well.

Absolutely....The entire album is actually pure genieus if you think about it.

I'm curious how you went through grunge, since you're roughly the age of most of the biggest band guys in that genre. I remember when the local radio station in Atlanta switched to 99x all grunge. I loved it and grew up with it, literally during my most memorable years.

Looking back is what starts to twist my head, especially considering that the 'new' music I was immersed in is now ~20 years old.

I am just a "Die Hard" Rock and Heavy Metal guy. When I first heard AIC, Nirvana etc...it just intrigued me because of the sounds and tones that they incorporated. I just enjoy the music. Slower...but hard and heavy.

Natural progression I suppose. My dad listened to 60/70's rock/metal. My first record (yes, vinyl) was Quiet Riot's Metal Health

I still have it somewhere.

Grunge hit at the perfect age/time in my life and I think did a great job of expressing the feelings of a generation, still does. It is just something Gen X identifies with. My choice in new music really started to taper off after 2000.

My first 45 was Twisted Sister - We're not gonna take it

There's some seriously good music getting tossed around in this thread. I can't believe it's been 9 years since Layne's passing.

Ain't found a way to kill me yet

Yep. Now that song is going to be stuck in my head all day. Good choice!

I grew up in the 80s, had the long hair etc. Loved that time period, it was fun.
I didn't take well to the whole grundge thing when it came. I like AIC and thought they were good but I hated Nirvana, Pear Jam and all the others. To this day there isn't a single song by either of those bands I can stand.
As the 80s metal died off and grundge took it's place I just went deeper into heavier metal, Slayer, Carcass, Deicide etc.

I still think it's a shame the toll the drugs took on Layne. It's really sad that he died in ragged ass apartment and was dead for two weeks before anyone even found him.

There are some people that can't get old. Lennon died young and is forever immortalized, much like Cobain. Can you imagine a 50 year old Cobain? Guys like Scott Weiland that probably should have died and survived begin to look like assholes and then caricatures of themselves. Typical burn out vs fade away scenario. I like Pearl Jam, but feel the same way about them. After awhile you just get convinced that Eddie Vedder is a whiney little bitch who is still angry at his parents.

Apparently you haven't listened to their new album. Check it out. It's different for them, but it's good. Its called Backspacer.
