In New York, Chicago and the band's Seattle hometown, the "Rockstar Energy Drink Presents Alice In Chains in Association with VH1 Classic" trek will keep the band on the road much of the fall before ending in December. Look for ALICE IN CHAINS to launch a full-scale cross-country headlining tour on September 22nd in Las Vegas, NV. All Alice in Chains fans should own this album, as should anyone who's into alternative rock, grunge, or hard rock in general.ALICE IN CHAINS To Hit The Road For Fall Headlining TourīW&BK has received the following press release: In the end, Alice in Chains Unplugged serves as the band's crowning achievement as well as a testament to wasted potential and what might have been. They just seem to resonate more in the acoustic setting. With few exceptions, I prefer the acoustic songs on this album to their studio counterparts. Ultimately, I think this MTV Unplugged album is the best of what Alice in Chains had to offer. No matter what your opinions on addiction, it's hard not to be moved by Staley's singing, particularly on songs like "Down in a Hole" and "Would". The late vocalist had the ability to channel so much of his self-destructive energy into his performances, and this is no exception. Layne Staley's emotional vocals are another key element of this album's power. As much as I love the Alice in Chains studio albums, once you strip the songs down to the acoustic level it exposes just how good these songs really are, and showcases the incredible songwriting talents of Jerry Cantrell. To sum up the band's Unplugged performance in one word - powerful. But when you consider the more melodic direction the band took with their Sap and Jar of Flies EPs, you knew the idea had potential. The Unplugged acoustic series is one of the best concepts to emerge from MTV in recent years, and Alice in Chains' performance ranks among the best of the MTV Unplugged series.Īlice in Chains was one of the heaviest bands to emerge from the Seattle grunge scene in the early 1990's, and listening to albums like Dirt and especially Facelift it's hard to imagine the band in an acoustic setting, stripped of all of the pummeling heaviness of those two albums.
