at least kinda, right? the colors are all there and in the right place

I know I’m probably gonna get crucified, but would like to know your honest feelings and opinions. Thank you!

I’d assume that since this is an AIC subreddit that most people’s favorite Grunge band is AIC, but what about 2nd favorite?

The other Seattle band from the era are in and AIC is probably the best of them all. I don’t understand?

Ok so listened to AIC in my early 20s. My boyfriend leant me his CD's and AIC and STP were on repeat. Definitely aligned with me what was happening at the time in my head. Now 50 rediscovered them again and playing them over and over and over. I cannot get enough. Is this normal. They are really good. Layne's voice is just so different and emotionally gets you. I am trying to listing to the band with William DuVall. Hoping to see them when they visit Australia next. I can see they are touring in the US again. I know it won't be the same but their music is also so amazing. What are they like now live ?

Members from Alice in Chains and Tool are joining up to go Bowling in Los Angeles for the Bowl for Ronnie celebrity tournament. They are having an auction for fans to bid for a spot on their team.

Looks like spectator tickets are already sold out. All proceeds benefits the Dio Cancer Fund. Good luck to anyone who bids!

Hope you guys dig it!

Just did the one take but was almost somewhat happy with it.

… I didn’t have to pay $100-$200 for a legit copy of it. Found this one on sale for $28, had to get it! It’s my day off so I’m listening to all my AiC vinyl today! Cheers!!!🍻✌🏾

I’m a newer fan and after listening to all of the original discography a bunch I decided to branch out a bit and I really love William in the recordings (more than some of the live performances I watched).

Lesson Learned or All Secrets Known are probably my favorite currently

I used to love this song and for whatever reason now I skip it every time. i think it got boring to me especially when there are so many standout phenomenal songs on the album. does everyone love HBY?

hey guys i suddenly remembered that layne was heavy into photography and therefore tthere must be some photos taken by him. i'd be indeed pleased to see some!

What do you think of São Paulo - very nice

favorite song from the self-titled album?

mine has to be either Sludge Factory or Frogs, with Head Creeps coming in at a close 3rd.

The MTV Unplugged version of "Brother" has always been my favorite version and I wanted to hear what it would have sounded like if Jerry, Layne, and Ann sang together in a three-part harmony. I took Ann Wilson's vocals from this performance in 2006 and combined it with the audio from MTV Unplugged. I think it sounds pretty cool.

I normally don’t take pictures in direct sunlight, but I thought I’d try it out for this specific shirt just to show how amazing the fade on it is, second to none. I took a picture comparing it side by side to my 1993 Alice in Chains ‘Dirt’ Parking Lot Bootleg to show the difference in color. This is the most smoked-out/perfectly faded Alice in Chains tee that I have ever seen, yet alone an MTV Unplugged.

This performance is what started my fandom for Alice in Chains and Layne Staley. Back in December of 2024, I stumbled upon ‘Nutshell, MTV Unplugged’ on YouTube and immediately became infatuated with Layne and the band, and there’s been no turning back since!

Even though Layne was hurting so deeply, he still left us with a perfect and powerful performance that has affected and will continue to affect so many people, and of course, his vocals were always on point.

I have included some photos from the performance, as well as a couple of 1996 magazine ads that I own and scanned in (see last few slides). Normally, I’d add a clean AI background, but my Photoroom membership expired. 🫠

Enjoy!

Been working on a grunge album for some time, released one of the songs as a teaser, its on spotify, check it out here

Google told me that critics dismissed these guys because they sounded too much like AiC. What do yall think?

This is my first tattoo. I was thinking about it for a few weeks but the other day I woke up and decided to just go and get it done. The lyric is from River of Deceit by Mad Season, such a beautiful song. What does everyone think?

I know it’s not the OG one but still has a more vintage tag. Curious if anyone here got info on it. Thanks!

I recently went to a record store near Cincinnati in northern Kentucky called “Phil’s records”. I grabbed some AIC vinyl and CD’s and this sparked a conversation between Phil and I. He told me back when ‘Dirt’ dropped, that his store (previous location) was one of the stores picked by Sony to promote the album. This wasn’t some ordinary poster…instead a truck dumped a 4 car sized pile of real dirt, and within the pile was VIP tickets, merch, CD’s and many more items. Never heard about this until now, we will never see promotion and care for music like back then. Another funny tidbit, the guy who won the VIP tickets also went on to be on the show ‘Survivor’…crazy small world we live in.
