Gmcarroll33 Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 This reigns supreme over any of the garbage Nirvana ever created, and is possibly the best grunge song ever. Although I consider AIC to be more hard rock than grunge. Heroin was their only commonality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmcarroll33 Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 Just look at the difference 3 years made. From rocking out with a cigarette, hands exposed, and then on the unplugged Layne had to wear gloves to hide all of the needle marks and shot up like 10 minutes before walking out.

Going all the way back to the nineties i have always stood firm on my feelings regarding Alice In Chains as i felt like they were a hundred times better than Nirvana and way more talented as well. The media overexposed the hell out of Nirvana and the critics kissed their ass hailing Cobain the leader and spokesman of a generation which was pure horseshit. Alice In Chains music was awesome and although both bands had around the same amount of recorded material the fact remains that AIC is simply better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alice In Chains and Pantera were the two new bands in that time frame that i really liked. The 90's grunge thing as a whole was kinda boring and when you compare that to the bigger bands from the 1980's like Van Halen the stuff from the prior decade was way more enjoyable not only musically but in concert as well.

Alice In Chains music was awesome and although both bands had around the same amount of recorded material the fact remains that AIC is simply better I had a buddy that did a grunge tour in Seattle last year and specifically asked the guide about that. Basically he laughed and said nobody holds a candle to AIC from that area and that they were by far the most talented and greatest to ever come out of there. I used to claim GNR as my fav but their music hasn't really held up well IMO. AIC is next level awesome even to this day. The realest shit you can ever listen to IMO. Nutshell was like somebody writing their own funeral song. Nirvana was "ok" at best. I'm glad they existed as I'd rather have their music than not have it, but AIC was another level awesome.

RIP Dimebag. I have no idea how Phil was able to sing like that for so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of good acts don’t make it because of lack of exposure. It’s a copycat industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmcarroll33 Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 I agree with Hoffa. Soundgarden wasn’t for me. Black Hole Sun was just ok but they just never really had “it”. AIC reigns supreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmcarroll33 Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 This Bob Marley movie was pretty good. His death and legacy a lot greater and more tragic than a loser like Cobain who shot himself and pussed out from all that heroin brought on like Layne dealt with.
