The band used to call themselves "Fuck", and word says they handed out condoms to the audience with the phrase "Fuck the band" on the wrappers!

Jerry was president of his high school choir

The cover of Tripod symbolizes Layne as the missing leg. Jerry says they didn't do that on purpose, but he says it fits.

At some of Alice in Chains' earlier gigs, Layne had to wait outside of the clubs in the freezing cold until the band starting playing because he was a year younger then all them. The guys would piss him off and drink in front of him and have a good time while he had to go back outside and wait for them.

Man in the box has been said to be about censorship by Layne and about veal by Jerry and Sean.

Would? is about Andrew "Landrew the love god" Wood's death.

The unmentioned song at the end of Sap was unscheduled and according to Sean, "due to acid." Sean sings, Layne plays drums, Jerry plays piano and bass, and Mike Starr plays the guitar.

Layne was tired of Jerry writing almost all of the songs and he having to perform them so he finally convinced Jerry to sing lead-ins on Would? And thus began Mr. Cantrell's singing career.

Unplugged"
Country song between Down in a Hole and Angry Chair:
Gloom, despair, and agony on me
Deep, dark depression
Excessive misery
If it weren't for bad luck
I'd have no luck at all
Gloom, despair, and agony on me

Little song before Killer is Me:
That senator don't love no drug program,
he's been a dopehead for thirty years.
Tthat senator don't like no women,
he prefers young boys in leather.

Time of the Preacher-
Johnny Cash(Acoustic Guitar and Vocals)
Krist Novoselic (Bass)
Kim Thayil (Guitar)
Sean Kinney (Drums)
John Carter Cash (12-String Acoustic Guitar)


I've Seen All This World I Care to See-
Jerry Cantrell (Guitar and Vocals)
Sean Kinney (Kick Drum)

I close my eyes and watch the darkness
Withdraw to my world of make believe
This world is filled with so much sorrow
And I've seen all this world I care to see

I watch as castles fall around me
From crumbled ruins of my own
This world is filled with muh uhappiness
So many people so alone

Seeds that thrive in loveless gardens
The fruits of such will bitter be
Fields of hate and greed surround me
And I've seen all this world I care to see
