| | Alice in Chains |
 | | Alice in Chains, initially formed by lead singer Layne Staley (1967-2002) in the mid 1980s as Alice N Chains was, along with Nirvana and Pearl Jam, one of the most commercially successful bands to break out of the Seattle, Washington grunge scene. |
 | | Unlike many of their peers, Alice in Chain' sound owed more to heavy metal than punk or 60s rock; what linked them to the grunge movement was their Seattle roots and introspective (and often somewhat morbid) lyrical concerns. |
 | | In November of 1995, Alice in Chains returned with the release of a self-titled album, Alice in Chains, though most fans have taken to referring to the album as "Tripod", due both to a lack of labeling, and the image of a forlorn three-legged-dog which appears on the cover. |
