Popped down this rabbit hole this morning

Oh man, blast from the past! I remember seeing these guys at HOB in Myrtle Beach on some kond of Honda Civic sponsored mini-warped tour in 2002. We ended up hanging out at their RV after the show…100% orange county pop punkers.

I think I still have this album on an iPod somewhere. Kiss Me, Diss Me was a banger.

Jar of Flies miiiight be my favorite album of all time. It’s close. Top 5 for sure. At least if you asked me right now.

Had this EP on heavy repeat back when I was in college and never let up. The external CD player velcro’d to the dash of my Geo Metro with the tape cassette adapter was in full effect. (getting a CD player with good buffering was a must).

1994 was lit.

Alice In Chains unplugged is one of my favorites and I also really enjoy Jar of Flies

My 4yo will not allow us to listen to No Excuses anymore at our house. He got tired of hearing it :joy:

I struggle with Unplugged. Bittersweet at best.

One one hand, AiC.

On the other, it’s really evident that Layne is not well. Once it was pointed out, I can’t stop hearing his lisp. The lisp caused by his teeth falling out. I think it was even mentioned on the Radio Ga-Ga pod on Dirt.

It was most definitely mentioned.

I can feel a lot of weight and sadness but also there is something to be said about the feelings of happiness of certain moments.

No excuses from unplugged sounds almost joyous. I feel as if they are smiling through it.

“Would?” Has a different tone too. This maybe sounds stupid but the tone of the final line

“If I would, could you?” Feels positive to me and less heavy.

I really really like AIC. I would say that are one of my favorites at this stage in my life and it makes me sad that it took until the last 1-2 years to appreciate them.

I’ve got 30+ years and they never get old.

Facelift comes out in 90’ and I’m living in trailer home with 2 guys in Grand Forks ND by campus (sidenote: the Ralph hockey arena now sits on the site). One of my roommate’s buddies did the ‘18 month trade school, now I have have a job and money’ thing and bought a massive stereo/speaker system that almost got him kicked out of his apartment, so he parks it at our place for a bit. Klipsch I think. Just crazy. Way too much power. We crush the shit out of Facelift on that thing.

Dirt/Jar come out. Me and my Metro. Custom built Rockford Fosgate amp/speakers built into the back. Delivering pizzas. Good times.

Years later, AiC comes to Denver with Velvet Revolver. About this time of year. Outdoors. Day starts at 60F and sunny but by the time AiC comes on it’s raining and temp dropping fast. I’m wearing shorts and a T-shirt and it starts SLEETING during “Rain When I Die”. Epic. We’re covered in ice. Oh, Velvet Revolver was cool too.

Next time. AiC at Red Rocks. Look across the crowd and the wind is whiping all the pot smoke around through the lights and up against the rocks. Truly a “You know you’re at Red Rocks” moment.

I put on a AiC song and I’m transported through time it seems. Some of my most “music makes you remember” moments are via Alice.

I’m blown away by the amount of quality work they put out in such a small compact window of time.

Always happy to go on a Metallica binge occasionally. My opinion, a Metallica cover band that just plays hardcore/thrash covers of their music would sell out every show. Everyone always acted too cool for them in the hardcore scene when I grew up, but would go insane for a Lepper Messiah 2 step.
