Get Born Again - The Alice in Chains thread™

I did some resistance band training today in memory of Chris

[Jammer XCI]

Album comes out August 24th

Made me think of Rainier Wolfcastle with that title.

That chorus could have been better.

These new songs do nothing to me. And I've really enjoyed their last two records.....

BTW, they also announced their new album today 'Rainier Fog' out on august 24th.

I love both of the singles...they sound good and i actually like the production too.

The new song is badass...those guitars

[bada]

DuVall doesn't belt out the high harmonies like Layne did so a lot of their post Layne songs never take off especially in the chorus. I like the guy though seems cool I'm glad they're still kicking.

[verb_to_trust]

I feel like Cantrell takes most of the vocal spotlight for himself and uses Duvall almost exclusively to create that AIC vocal harmony sound that people recognize them for.

[joostone]

So this new song is written by William. It's nice that he's also a full creative member.
When you think of it, AIC 2.0 has now almost as much output as AIC 1.0...

[VinylGuy]

Pretty nice interview about the new album. These guys seem to be doing just fine, and damn these new songs sound good.

Just put Black Gives Way To Blue. What a fine album.

The two new songs have fallen flat for me, too. Just seems to be a retread of the 2.0 material. I actually enjoyed most of BGWTB, only like a few from Dinosaurs. Expectations are quite low now for Rainer Fog. I'm loving that they're still touring and sounding as tight as ever, but these newer tunes just seem incredibly generic. Was actually hoping they might branch out and do a few oddball tunes. When The Sun Rose Again is probably my favorite tune from AIC 2.0.

The band is coming to play to Argentina, so ill be seeing them for the second time. Already exited about it...worst part about it is that they will play with Judas Priest.

[Jammer XCI]

New solo Jerry Cantrell track

Sounds exactly like Alice in Chains, shit slaps.

[VinylGuy]

Yeah, that was good....Its the second solo track he releases, the first one was that John Wick 2 song....wonder if those are leftovers from the AIC sessions.

Was just at a church sponsored block party and the cover band played man in the box

Interesting choice there

Deny your maker
He who tries will be wasted

I can see where Christians could get behind that

[i got bugs]

It was funny because the singer started to say Jesus christ, but after the jeeee he just let out a loud mumble for the rest of the name like o boy wait a second here

"Praise your maker" would've worked in there

One of my friends who worked on the morning announcement show in my high school slipped the album version of Man in the Box as dead airtime filler music. That was the last day he worked on the show.

Baller move



There was a teacher in my JH/HS that I really liked. Younger guy, super fun. Everyone loved him. He did not like me because I liked AIC and no matter what I did, he pigeonholed me as this “bad” kid because of it. Which could not have been further from the truth. I was pretty straight laced. I just liked AIC a lot even if all the songs were about heroin.
