Alice In Chains: The greatest artists of my lifetime

[NERDWill]

Forget about rap, rock, jazz, or all other genre divisions and just think about skill, creativity, and emotion.

I'll take Layne Staley's lyrics and voice over anyone else's and Jerry Cantrell's songwriting above all other dudes.

Ever since this band went on permanent hiatus (as far as the original members are concerned), music has not been the same.

[NERDWill]

Rap fans, or just music fans in general, need to learn about Alice in Chains.

[nineteen80sbaby]

Isn't Alice in Chains like every heroin addicts favorite band?

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

I think your statement is off. Not by much, but off. Alice was a great,great,great,great band. I only wish that Layne Staley was still alive. I don't think that they should've put the group back together without him. It just aint the same.

Well, you're right in that Alice was never "gangsta," but aside from that, it appears that you have an ill-conceived perception of early-90's rock.

[NERDWill]

My favorite rappers - Joe Budden, Clipse, Talib Kweli, Scarface, Nas, Jay-Z - don't even compare to Alice in Chains in terms of, well, everything.

[geedup]

whos alice in chains?

[Stephano DiMera]

Nirvana was better than Alice in Chains ever was

i only heard facelift, i really like the album tho.

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

I second that. Not by much though. Dave Grohl puts Nirvana over the top.

[eckohed]

Never got into them...give me like 5 or 10 songs to get started on

[skanky80]

One of the better "grunge" bands I guess.

Still, out of all the bands in early 90's rock, there are so many that made way better music.

[Clem]

ass

[Mr. Machete]

Nirvana was better than Alice in Chains ever was

lol thats retarded

Layne > Kurt as a vocalist, not even close really
Jerry > Kurt as a guitarist, again, not even close. Jerry was a great guitarist, Kurt wasn't even a GOOD guitarist.
Dirt > Nevermind, by far. Much more consistent, better musically, better songs.
The rest of AIC > the rest of Nirvana. AIC were better musicians, period.

Nirvana is a fukkin joke. Most overrated band ever.

Dave Grohl's right foot & Kurt Cobain's songwriting ability>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>your whole family.

He's right about them being overrated.

The 5 or so bands that influenced the entire grunge movement > all the grunge bands combined

There's at least two members in my extended family that are better drummers than Dave Grohl, and that's really not saying much.

[anti white movement]

reign in blood>>> your life.

[lateforwork]

Alice Chains= One of the greatest bands of all time :yes:

[mansell]

peep sig

i can listen to these guys forever...
best thing i liked about them was how the music felt, it had that spooky atmosphere...jerry was a sick sick song writer man, he was the brain behind that band, i dont think he gets enough credit...

i disagree with that right there. every joint on nevermind is a classic and listenable and has its own sound. dirt on the other hand has some repetitive joints. some tracks on that sh1t is filter and after awhile the "i wanna die" sh!t gets tiring too. nirvana as a group is overrated. they actually had one really good album and then they dropped a weak album with like 5 listenable joints (in utero) and that incesticide sh!t.. (half good, half bad).

dirt on top of that a lot of songs had the same drumlines and was played in the same chords. most of the guitar playing was played in E card. if they had some songs from jar of files on dirt, then that sh!t would be a classic.

E card?

man, shut the f*ck up. you really have no idea what you are talking about.

[Mr. Machete]

You're going to bash Cantrell for supposedly playing the same chord over and over and the big up Nirvana? Do you realize how fukking retarded that is?

man.... if you're talking about in utero, okay. most of that sh!t was in the same chord. if you're talking about nevermind, you don't know wtf you're talking about. most of those sh!ts on dirt is played in the e-chord man and almost all of the tracks is talking about "i wanna die", "suicidial thoughts". after awhile, i'm like enough already. i like dark music and depressing music but i also like variety also. not all them sh!ts gotta be on the same sh!t. at least switch some sh!t up. the drumlines too those sh!ts could have been changed up too. most of those sh!ts sound the same also. change it up a little. that's why i like would? because it's a fresh breath of air compared to most of the album. different chord, different type of drumline... i could f*ck with it. some tracks on dirt are skippable.

[Trojanman]

E card?
man, shut the f*ck up. you really have no idea what you are talking about.


so what?? minor slip up. you know what i meant. e-chord... whatever.

[DC]

I was in France when they released their sefl titled album.............i had that on repeat all the time.

Heaven Beside You was a good track to have playing while eating cheese, drinking wine and watching the sun set..... good times.

Are you insane? In Utero's better than Nevermind. It's just not as glossy, and sheened over for the "pop" audience.

are you serious??? in utero was garbage. dude sounded really annoying more like he was nagging when he was singing.

What can I say? You just don't get it. Maybe I can refer you to some Poison or Cinderella.
