BigChiefSlapaho Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Alice In Chains lead singer, Layne Stanley, passes on... Just found out the news today from my contour forum. Check out the site for more details. I truly regret not ever being able to see this band play live and losing the opportunity. If you've got any of their music, turn it up one last time in remembrance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Jax Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 In my opinion, of all the alternative bands that made it big, only four were truely grunge: nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden and alice in chains (temple of the dog doesn't count, wasn't really a band, but a project, beside i wouldn't say they made it big). Truely a great loos for grunge. guess pearl jam's all we got left besides memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Yeah, this just blows. I always considered AIC to be the band that characterized grunge the best. I tend to think of grunge as really heavy and slow tempo and they did that the best. I wish I coulda seen em live too, closest I'll come is Jerry Cantrell in bonzai on the 26th, wonder if he'll do anything special. He was one of the best singers I can think of, his voice was absolutely perfect for the kind of music they played. "Take another hit, and bury your brother! Faster we run... And we die young."

Reverend Jax Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 I would say soundgarden characterized grunge a little better, but that doesn't take away from AIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Yeah, I was gonna say Soundgarden was a very close second in that catagory, especially with their more black sabbath influenced first cds. damn, if only I were a few years older, I would have seen these incredible band live. damn, why wasn't my brother at a concert every weekend? He was a teenager in the prime of all these bands.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 you can still see rush, they'll be touring this summer to promot their new album (their 17th studio album). The album sounds really good, very nu-metalish, but not in a bad way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Poster 1:"You know, I just can't take Sartre seriously as an existentialist, being and nothingness just doesn't hold up to Camus' work." Poster 2:"Sartre's fiction was excellent, however" Jack's meandering thoughts: "Umm... the bassist from rush says his favorite book is The Stranger...." :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 what's wrong with that? the drummer based one of their concept albums (2112) on an Ayn rand book (actually, the story goes he wrote it, then found out about Ayn Rand's very similar storyline and decided to give Ayn credit for inspiration).
