shareVery good.
shareNever heard of them and I'm not really into thrash rock which would explain this

I prefer Alice in Chains over Nirvana, Perl Jam, and Metallica any day.
They go great with Stone Temple Pilots and Tool.
We've been through this before, 'Facelift' is an awesome metal album...
...but it's their only good album
We Die Young -

All of their albums with layne, and jar of flies, are good......im not saying any more LOL
Weird fact: but i have never listened to their music they made after layne died.....im just not interested in listening to it fr
I haven't either. I saw Cantrell in concert in the late '90s as a solo act, and he sang very much like Layne, though slightly less powerfully. I also saw a behind-the-scenes video of them recording their first album, Facelift, where Cantrell was showing Layne how to 'sing' the songs โ meaning he had come up with the vocal melodies and everything.
In any case, Iโve always had the sense that Jerry Cantrell was the true artist and creative force behind the band's music.

Agreed ๐ฏ. I remember reading that "Rooster" was inspired by Jerry Cantrell's father, who served during the Vietnam War. He's a talented guy for sure.
I had their first album when I was a kid, and loved it. I've listened to Jar of Flies and Dirt in the past decade. They all sound very different from one another, but still great music. I think Facelift was my least favorite.
