Even with die-hard AIC fans, I never see Confusion mentioned. Though I think it's one of their best songs oat. Jerry's solo on this track is epic, Mike's bass makes the entire song vibrate and Layne pulled of one of his best vocal performances ever. Yet it's always overshadowed by Love Hate Love. Why is that? Does the community not like the song or do they just forget about it?
Hey everyone! I’ve seen a couple of posts like this and figured I’d give it a shot myself. I’m a 23 y/o (F) Alice in Chains fan who’s been listening to them since 2020, and I’m looking for people to chat with about all things AiC-related! I’ve recently fallen HARD back down the Alice in Chains rabbit hole since I’ve had lots of free time, and unfortunately, none of my friends are fans lol.
I’d love to talk about anything from favorite songs/albums to your favorite live performances.
Feel free to DM me if you want to chat. I’d really love to meet some fellow fans!
Always thought Sluge Factory ended with this lyric and thought it was some military term like 'Lethal force authorised"
Proceed to laugh at me please, thank you.
If you can think of any others, please, let me know! I'll put them in this list, and hopefully make the list a little more detailed and structured.
"Dirt" (1992) - the riff is a homage to "Electric Funeral" (1970) by Black Sabbath
"Hate To Feel" (1992) - the main riff is a nod to Led Zeppelin's "Dazed and Confused" (1969)
"Whale & Wasp" (1994) - the strings melody (starts 0:34) seems to be a reference to the vocal melody in the Beatles, "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" (1965)
"Don't Follow" (1994) - the turnaround and outro (2:30) is very similar to that in Guns N Roses, "Patience" (1988) (around 4:15)
"Frogs" (1995) - Cantrell has acknowledged that the outro section (especially from about 6:15) was influenced by Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs" (1974), they both use rotovibe for sure.
"She Was My Girl" (2002) - they're obviously distinct enough, but the fact that this was inspired by Local H's "Bound for the Floor" (1996) was discussed quite a bit when the song first appeared on the Spiderman soundtrack
"Last of My Kind" (2009) - the pre-chorus (starts 1:29) has very strong vibes of Rob Zombie's "Dragula" (1998) (about 0:51)
"Acid Bubble" (2009) - this one's more of a 'vibe', but certainly the bass riff at the beginning has made me think of Jimi Hendrix's "Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)" (1970).
"So Far Under" (2018) - the chorus riff (1:40) definitely sounds like a nod to the outro riff on "Throes of Rejection" (1994) by Pantera (4:00)
"Off the Rails" (2025) - the main riff was described by Amit Sharma as a "cheeky nod" to Iron Maiden's "Wasted Years" (1986), with which Jerry concurred.
Hi! I'm Jero, and i started listening to Alice in chains recently, so i was wondering if You guys could share me some Nice songs.
Just got an email from my local record store (in the Netherlands) that my pre order of the yellow vinyl edition was cancelled. Apparently it will not be available in Europe.
It's my favorite song by them and as a whole.
hey, i think my fav live performance is facelift live at moore theatre seattle 22 dec 1990 but they never released it in digital format, only for vhs right after performance in 1991, then they released it in 2016 for vinyl 5000 copies, so it’s pretty rare, so my question is where i can find good vinyl rip of this album? best one i have managed to find was 320 kbps 48000hz, still better than youtube but i want a loseless one)
Does anyone know when this will restock or if it will even restock because I was planning on buying it but I was dumb and wanted to wait until I got paid and then when I went to buy it, it was out of stock of course.
I’ve never seen this shade of yellow for this record. I’ve seen the highlighter yellow one that you can pretty much find anywhere but I found this one on Turntable Labs. Does anyone know if it’s just the normal highlighter yellow version or if it actually looks like this shade of yellow?
I'm headed to Seattle next month and would love to get more ideas of places to go. The Moore, the Sound Garden and the Music Bank are already on the list.
I just discovered this cover of Soundgarden's Hunted Down. Amazing 👏
Hi
I am a graphic design student and I have been making posters of my favourite bands/artists to build up my portfolio. I'd love it if you'd check out some of my other work and processes behind them:

Thanks!
I have been listening to AIC for a couple of months but just watched Mad Season's performance at the Moore recently.
Wake up is absolutely incredible. Layne was clearly struggling during that time but he was still able to perform such a deeply personal, vulnerable song.
This is despite the fact that his health was a subject of cruel media speculation.
When he sings "for a little peace from God, you plead, it sounds like he is truly begging for relief from his suffering.
Even during his times of struggle, Layne still had the most amazing and powerful voice.
Rest in peace Layne.
I randomly went into a record store and I said to my husband there's no way they're going to have any Alice in Chains. But.. they had all three 😳😬 my poor credit card!
Absolutely love!
