Fave Song On Alice In Chains - Dirt?

what did you vote for?

this is ILM, we don't have to prove that we've heard more than just the singles

"Rain When I Die"

good call. almost voted that myself! but I think the singles are very strong on this one.

but man, how ugly is that cover???

photoshop: the dark ages

those first-generation grunge covers were pretty dire

lol @ me calling Alice in Chains "first-generation grunge"

did God Smack lose out in votes because of a shitty unoriginal band taking it as their name?

10. "Iron Gland" – 0:43

totally forgot there was some kind of short placeholder track on this album -- was it a skit? amp noise?

it's basically amp noise and some yelling. but I just looked the album up on wikipedia, and this was on there:
# Tom Araya: vocals on "Iron Gland"

what?!?

it tells you on the album credits on the cd that it's tom araya. You guys just had taped from a mates cd copy? ;)

what album was that "alice mudgarden" song on? i thought it was a bonus on dirt or something.

You mean Sap?

yes! i don't know why i thought it was on dirt...

I love Sap. I wrote elsewhere how I searched over Glasgow for that. When it got reissued along with Jar Of Flies , all the critics jizzed over Jar of Flies but it was not a patch on Sap to me.
I still have my original cd of Sap and the vinyl of Sap/JoF.

lol kerr "I actually OWNED an alice in chains CD"

Curtis you surprise me!

yesssss. such a great song. i always get chills when cornell comes in at the end.

you heard the screaming trees album Uncle Anesthesia Cornell produces and adds backing vox on a couple of songs to?

i knew he produced, but i've never heard the album, so i didn't know he sung on it too. cool, i'll check that out.

he sings on the vid i linked to above

I feel like I've asked this before, but are there many other albums that end with a single? "Would?" always seemed like an odd choice to close things out (although I like how it's kind of an abrupt ending, matching the sudden attack of "Them Bones" at the beginning).

I always assumed it finished with an upbeat song to show the light at the end of layne's tunnel of despair or something

didnt see that poll, but would have vote Down In The Hole..

I was surprised it didn't get more votes.

everyone went for the hit singles...happens all the time..

i always felt like "Would?" was just kind of a bonus track on the album, since it had already been on the SIngles soundtrack and a hit off that a few months earlier.

seeing this poll made me miss that song,so i downloaded and listening to it now after many years i didnt...
too bad so many future imatators ruined the fun a their sound a bit..

down in the hole i mean

i think that might have been a uk single

i think angry chair was a uk single?

it was i know i have that.

I'm not sure if I remembered to vote, but if I did I def. voted for one of the top 3...

I'm kind of shocked that Them Bones beat out Rooster, to be honest...

big airplay single over here = uk lurker votes?

them bones got airplay in the u.s. but i'm pretty sure both would? and rooster dwarfed it...

i mightve actually voted for bones on the basis that it was out of the big four the one that seemed the farthest away from being played out...

acrually on 'right turn' chris cornell comes in at 0:45. i always loved how that song features such a range of vocals. kicks off with jerry, then we get cornell singing a verse, then layne singing a verse. i really love this band.

by the way, 'dirt' has an incredible cover

I think he means when Cornell comes in with all the rest of them for the final chorus.

oh yeah i realise that's the bit he meant - just being pedantic about it not being his first entry into the song :)

I can't listen to Angry Chair without giggling...

true. "angry chair" is a pretty funny combo of words.

Shall i do a facelift poll?
