Alice In Chains

Alice in Chains came out of the early '90s grunge scene that included Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden. Their debut album, Facelift, was released in 1990 but didn't pick up steam until a year later, thanks to "Man In The Box." Because there were no grunge arena headliners, they had to open for bands like Van Halen, Anthrax and Poison.

Cantrell and Staley met at the Seattle warehouse rehearsal space, the Music Bank. This would later be the name of a 4-CD set released by the group.

Staley has hooked up with members of Pearl Jam and Screaming Trees to form Mad Season, which has released a couple of albums. Around this same time, Inez was working with Guns n' Roses guitarist Slash.
