Former Type O Negative drummer conjures up the gothic gloom with a side-order of grunge.

I still get chills watching this. Alice In Chains announced this morning that they'd be making a "special concert announcement" on Monday, April 11th. What could this special concert be? Allow me to recklessly speculate, 'cause that's what we do here at MS: The first place my mind went was "Unplugged Redux." Alice In Chains [...]

Il corpo senza vita di Mike Starr , l'ex bassista degli Alice in Chains , è stato ritrovato ieri in una casa di Salt Lake City . La polizia ha fatto sapere che, con molta probabilità, a causare la morte del musicista è stata un'overdose di stupefacenti. Una spiegazione che stupisce ben poco: poche settimane fa Starr era stato arrestato per possesso di farmaci senza prescrizione. Si tratta del secondo decesso di un membro storico del gruppo capitanato da Jerry Cantrell . Nove anni fa veniva ritrovato a Seattle il cadavere in decomposizione di [...]

Mike Starr, the original bass player for Alice in Chains, has been found dead, TMZ reports. He was just a month away from his 45th birthday. Starr left Alice in Chains in 1993 after appearing on the albums Facelift and Dirt, as well as the Sap EP. Like the other members of the band, his [...]

Heart: Chapter 11.

Until recently I didn't realize this was filmed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, a stone's throw from the Vince Division of the Mansion. I still get chills every single time I watch this footage... I can't help it. It's just so... chilling... when Layne walks out on stage. Brrrr. "Desert Island 53 album for sure. [...]

There now, don't we feel better? It's always nice when the talented musicians from "In Concert '913 come to our little town to play a song. honorable mention

After tonight's Mastodwho/Defwhats/AIC show at MSG, I'm feeling inspired to dust off an oldie-but-goodie... Back when I was a 16 year-old pothead growing up in New York Fucking City, I used to put on this song, lean out my bedroom window, puff the fattest of bowls, and wonder what heroin felt like. I guess it [...]

I could say that Alice in Chains' Unplugged album is my favorite Unplugged album, but that wouldn't be saying much. Higher praise comes from a declaration just as truthful: It's one my favorite, if not my absolute favorite, live albums of all time, and possibly the only example of a live album I actually listen [...]

At the Golden Gods thing back in April, I really perked up when Alice In Chains' Jerry Cantrell came down the press line. It was surprising and weird because I was not aware that his band remained significant to me. But there I was, rudely turning away from Zakk Wylde in mid-sentence to beam fanatically at [...]

Former Neon Christ frontman makes an epic leap toward commercial success

All I'd been thinking about since Bonfire Night was seeing Alice In Chains live in London. They're the grunge band for metallers. They're the band with some of the most tortured lyrics in the history of rock n' roll. Even without Layne Staley's genius, they are Alice In Chains. This is one of my favourite bands of all time. I could not wait. My temporary obsession got to the extent that the other day, whilst brushing my teeth, a sub-headline on the cover of the Robbie Williams-adorned November issue of GQ caught [...]

Album name: Black Gives Way To Blue Artist name: Alice in Chains Genre: Rock Released : September 29 2009 Label : EMI ZME Rating: 8/10 Website: aliceinchains.com There are lots of ways to open a review of Alice in Chains' long-awaited return to the studio. The obvious approach is to eulogise Layne Staley, their sorely-missed lead singer. But I have some deep-seated neuroses that don't let me do things the [...]

I have to admit, I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I got on the phone with Jerry Cantrell , Mike Inez, and Sean Kinney of Alice in Chains (William DuVall was unfortunately unable to make it, but the guys had plenty of good things to say about their friend and fellow band member.) I wanted to ask them about Layne Staley, and reforming as a band, and adding a new member (William), and their new album ( Black Gives Way to Blue ) , but I thought they might [...]

The reader known only as "Derrick" sent us a link to Dying 2 Meet You, a website that offers the "cheap gag gift" of selling customers a meeting with the dead celebrity of their choice (they even only have certain celebrities, so as to better sell the illusion that these are official meetings, I guess).

Presentazione : Dopo quattordici anni dall'ultimo album in studio e dopo aver scritto pagine importanti della storia della musica, gli Alice In Chains tornano con un disco molto chiacchierato. Giudizio complessivo : Si può recensire "Black Gives Way To Blue" senza fare riferimento al fatto che continuare l'avventura con gli Alice In Chains senza Layne Staley sia a dir poco scandaloso? Forse no, ma ci proviamo lo stesso. Il nuovo singer William DuVall, pur avendo un centesimo del carisma, si impegna veramente tanto nell' imitazione (perchè di questo si tratta) di Layne e bisogna [...]

I gotta say I never thought I'd have the chance to write about a new record by these guys. Nevertheless, September 29, 2009 marks the arrival of Black Gives Way To Blue, Alice In Chains' first studio album in 14 years. This marks the beginning of a new chapter in the band's career. 15 years after the [...]

This video is from '94, but still... I'd never seen it before and found it, well, not funny, but, uh, interesting? Let's say interesting. I guess Cantrell and company weren't too offended, though, 'cause in 2006, they performed with Hetfield: So, yeah. That happened. -AR Thanks to Brandon Marvin for the tip.

I think that William DuVall is ready for his close-up. Black Gives Way to Blue kills, and proves that Alice in Chains have done what even the most cynical of us (namely, me) thought was impossible: this band can carry on without Layne Staley. And, yes, Jerry Cantrell deserves a BJ or twelve for that [...]
