Alice in Chains to powstały w 1987 roku amerykański zespół grający Rock/Heavy Metal/Grunge. Zespół od samego początku był kojarzony z Grunge i brzmieniem Seattle. Obecnie zespół ma na koncie 5 albumów, kilka EPek i sporą ilość singli. Ilość pełniaków może nie powala jak na 30 lat działalności, choć warto zaznaczyć, że w pewnym okresie na ponad 10 lat zespół praktycznie się rozpadł, choć oficjalnie istniał. Dla mnie Alice in Chains to przede wszystkim świetne rockowe kawałki z niepowtarzalnym głosem L. Staleya (oryginalny wokalista, który zmarł w 2002 roku w wyniku przedawkowania) oraz specyficznymi partiami gitary J. Cantrella, który jest moim zdaniem bardzo zdolnym gitarzystą i kompozytorem (ma talent do komponowania prostych, ale jednocześnie świetnie brzmiących i zapadających w pamięć riffów). Najbardziej lubię album "Alice in Chains" z trójnogim psiakiem na okładce.
To znają chyba wszyscy...
