It’s been over 10 years since the sad and unfortunate death of original Alice In Chains frontman Layne Staley in 2002. And while the singer’s long, slow withdrawal from the spotlight and drug-related death wasn’t pretty, things are about to get ugly again. It took the better part of a decade for the band to [...]

While it should come as no surprise to Metal Insider readers, the lineup for the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival has been announced. Nearly a month ago, we’d suggested that Alice In Chains, Jane’s Addiction, Coheed and Cambria and Circa Survive would be playing the festival, and that’s exactly who the main stage acts are. The [...]

Well, that’s kind of literal. One of the first things you see in the video is a guy pushing a stone up a hill (Sisyphus?). The band is playing on a mountaintop surrounded by rocks. There’s also a guy that’s got a stone on a cart. And hey, some people turn to stone. All of [...]

Earlier this week, dates and venues were confirmed for this year’s Rockstar Energy Uproar Festival. And while we’ll have to wait till Monday (April 22) to find out who will be playing the tour, it looks like one of the highly rumored bands is now a sure thing – Alice In Chains. Uproar took to [...]

It’s been a few weeks since we first heard Alice In Chains’ “Stone,” and we still can’t get over that awesome riff. The band played on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night, and we can confirm that it kicks ass in a live setting as well. The band appeared on the show, playing that song, as well [...]

In 2011, Pearl Jam released a documentary about the history of the band. Pearl Jam 20 was directed by Cameron Crowe. Perhaps to take the piss out of that film, Alice In Chains have premiered an 11-minute film on Funny or Die called Alice In Chains 23. While PJ20 is a documentary, AIC20 is more of a mockumentary, where [...]

While the lineup for the 2013 Rockstar Energy Uproar Festival hasn’t been announced yet, we’re hearing from a reliable source that Jane’s Addiction, Alice In Chains, Coheed & Cambria and Circa Survive will be among those playing this year’s incarnation of the Festival. It would definitely make sense for Alice In Chains, as their highly [...]

Yesterday, Alice In Chains’ new single, “Stone,” blew us away with it’s ridiculous riffage. It went out to radio everywhere yesterday. Meanwhile, back in the band’s home town of Seattle, rock station KISW played another new song, “Phantom Limb.” Much like “Hollow,” this is a mid-tempo sludgy, riffy song that’s undeniably Alice In Chains. William DuVall [...]

We knew it was a matter of time till we heard another song off of Alice In Chains’ new album, The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here. And while Loudwire has been officially granted a 90 second sampling of a new song called “Stone,” the full track has already made its way online. While we were fans [...]
