Yeah, this thread has raised a good point....people notice music more if something goes down bigtime with a band or member...you could almost wonder if some of them do drugs and **** themselves up to get the attention...trouble is once they´ve got there they got a habit to beat, but if they do it its more publicity for them to emerge ´fresh, clean and sober´.......not that i´d accuse anyone of doing drugs for that reason, but its a thought.

I´ve heard alice in chains only a couple of times, but i gotta confess this thread has made me curious to hear more....i kinda grew out of grunge. I have all the nirvana records that i bought years ago and use to listen to religiously, but nowadays i just dont enjoy that style as much....but there we go.

And Pearl Jam are from Seattle?....I learn something new every day......i´m increasingly taking a liking to their stuff.

....after all this i gotta go play something, Cya, Chacron.
