You guys will probably shit on me in this thread, but I really didnt like their music all that much. I mean some of it was pretty decent, some of it wasn't too sweet though. I'm not some 14 yr old girl either that hasnt ever heard of them, I like a lot of other shit that most people accept as good music. I like Pink Floyd, GNr is good, The Eagles, NIN, Tool, and am pretty open and accepting of most other talented artists's stuff...Im not into lame ass music like Blink 182, or Avril Lavigne, or Nelly or any other of the thousands of talentless artists out there; i appreciate good music. I just don't understand statements like "best band in the world" and "pure genius" when you are talking about Alice in Chains, I mean I have Man in the Box, I've listened to it all, maybe i just am missing something, but I dont think that they are "the greatest" anything. What in particular do you guys like so much? Maybe if you showed me a piece of lyrics written out that were significant to you or pointed out a good instrumental riff that you thought was particularlly artistic maybe that would change something, but I dunno about them...

everyones entitled to their own opinion.
but mayb as u said u r missing something.
for me wen i heard Alice' for the first time the power in Staleys vocals just blew me away. you can tell the lyrics are from his heart and thts wat i like about Alice'.
I think Alice In Chains were an incredible band altho im prolly not as big a fan as most of you I can apreciate what they have done for music i also thing that their 'sound' was also quite original ( not that im some music guru or anythin) and the lyrics were obviously filled with feeling and emotion 馃檪 I think its a shame that they dont get enough recognition
