I am a huge fan of Alice In Chains. I remember them breaking big time during my freshman year of high school. The year before, I was listening to Guns n' roses, metallica, Motley crue, skid row, etc. It's funny, I can't remember another time where hard rock music changed so quickly. It seemed that most of the rock bands that were popular in 88',89',90' became irrelevant overnight. Jerry Cantrell is a great guitarist and is probably very underrated
