Alice In Chains - Twenty-Three (Documentary)

[@benroj5605]

Pearl Jam went all serious and self congratulatory for their 20th anniversary while Alice in Chains made fun of themselves with a brilliant spoof of Spinal Tap and even got their friends along for the ride. This is why I love AIC.

There is no new AiC or old AiC. There is just AiC. This band has had 6 members over its history. Each contributed or is contributing his own personal talents and experience to the craft. Their story continues.

Probably one of the most respected bands of all time, has anyone ever heard a negative thing about them ever in the media or from other artists? They are our generations zeppelin... I truly believe that

[@carlosdcf8268]

I think the same thing to you, like so many years ago

[@JenDoe1]

I love AIC more than you can know. ❤️However, Zeppelin are in a class of their own. If you get into Zeppelin you’ll begin to appreciate the insane vocals of Plant and the guitar of Jimmy Page! #Kashmir

[@MrTechselect]

Song of Life Zeppelin is classic. Its a must for any rock fan. Personally though Achilles Last Stand is my ultimate Led Zep track.

[@JenDoe1]

MrTechselect I’m in agreement, Achilles Last Stand is just epic.

[@ReidGarwin]

Metallica's was the first poor reaction to the band. Later I think they became more respectful

[@Chocolate_Octopus]

I used to have the vhs with The Nona Tapes on it many years ago. I like that they did something like that again. It's good to get REAL perspective on the band. Showing not only what they are about as people but what the people think, fans or not.

[@Chocolate_Octopus]

haha.

[@benroj5605]

for a band that wrote the darkest music, they sure had an awesome sense of humor.

[@kleaaaaaa]

I lost it at that part

[@Musicmanohio247]

I met the band Alice In Chains in 1990 they were touring with Extreme, I was there to watch Nuno and left an Alice In Chains fan. I remember the crowd that day and maybe 1 person in the crowd knew who they were. However, I had just met them. I walked in during sound check to get a beer. They were on stage and I had no idea who they were. I introduced myself and I spent the next couple of hours with them. I have front row and center pictures. Most of them are online somewhere. I never wanted anything out of them, I just wanted to make sure everyone saw them. Layne gave me a cassette that day in 1990 and everyone except Sean signed it. I have tried to get someone from the Alice In Chains community to let me send what I have to them, to be put in an AIC museum. I want nothing from the flier, the tape or my pictures, I just want the fans to see the stuff I have, so it gets saved forever.

[@jessicap9832]

Kevin Baker Send them Susan Silver. Or make copies and send them to the Croc Cafe. Susan and Sean still own it.

[@kgylsd]

Maybe you could contact the museum of Pop?

[@newflavaz1583]

whats on the cassette? is it unreleased stuff maybe or just a cassette of Facelift ? either way thats amazing you got it signed and met the guys, what a great story

[@mandyjuelz]

If only Layne could be in this too.... RIP Layne!

[@crashburn3292]

Did anyone else catch the Def Leppard reference at 1:32? "Unta Gleebin Glabben Globin Goblin." Pyromania? Anyone? Or was it so obvious no one mentioned it?

Duff talking about Alice Cooper will always be hilarious, especially because him and Jerry are extremely close friends and Duff is just a close AIC affiliate in general.

[@notalawyercat]

This was great! Would've been funny if they got Godsmack and had them be like, "uhh, who?" "Alice in Chains! They wrote the song God Smack, y'know, like your band name." "Nope, never heard of them."

You do keep the spirit of Layne around in your new music and I really appreciate it. I know he was a super talented artist and man with a great heart. Its always very touching to sing some of your songs along because I do imagine the times you've been through. Great Band! Probably one of my lifetime favorites. :D ImI yeah man!
