Alice In Chains - Your Decision

by **Johan** Fri May 03, 2013 3:57 pm

I'm also listening to Alice in Chains.

I heard 'Man in the Box' while I was in a bar in Trondheim and figured: Oh Yeah, that's a pretty cool song! Without knowing much more from AiC. So I started listening to the Facelift album today. Not bad, more metal than I expected.

AIC was one of my favourite bands in the 90s. I didn't hear the most recent record until a few days ago. I didn't really thought it would be the same without Layne Stayley, but the new singer is great and even sounds a bit like Layne.

by **Johan** Fri May 03, 2013 4:11 pm

I saw them live with the new singer in 2005 at a festival. Even James Hetfield joined them on stage for a song. But I hardly knew them back then.

I think they have another new album coming out in a couple of weeks.

by **Soulmonster** Fri May 03, 2013 7:02 pm

Yes, I've heard a new album is coming. Looking forward to it!

Excellent concert. Dave sang very well, Martin Gore also sang few songs. Great visual show, great crowd. I saw them for the first time in 2006, again in Sofia, now I even liked the show more.

Whenever I'm browsing YouTube I always end up grooving on this guy

Personal Jesus is a radio staple where I live. Several different radio formats include it and I've been hearing it regularly for quite some time and I don't listen to radio very often. I'm not sure about their other songs, I'm not very familiar with their body of work.

by puddledumpling Thu May 16, 2013 2:43 am

OK, just one more Jesus song before I go, I can't help it. This song is good medicine. I hadn't heard the solo version before tonight.

Depeche Mode are not as popular in the U.S. as in Europe, I think.
Also I like very much the version of Personal Jesus by Johnny Cash

by puddledumpling Sun May 19, 2013 12:46 am

I hadn't heard Cash's version of Personal Jesus before. I enjoyed it very much.
I am familiar with his cover of Soundgarden's song Rusty Cage. I think it is great and I am listening to it right now.

Yes, it remainds me for another great Cash's cover - Hurt(NIN)

by **Uli** Mon May 20, 2013 11:20 am

Whilst I enjoy Cash's last few albums ("American Recordings"...), it's his own songs or covers of less well-known songs I prefer over e.g. "Personal Jesus" or U2's "One"...

by puddledumpling Tue May 21, 2013 12:52 am

I don't actually own any Johnny Cash albums but I am on a bit of a country music jag right now. I do really like the acoustic guitar part on his rendition of Personal Jesus that denitza posted the link to. Do you recommend any whole albums by JC that every well rounded album collection should have with that stripped down sound that I enjoy?

I think that his first "American Recordings" (1994) would be a good start!

Spot on Uli. Thanks. I listened to it in Spotify last night. +1
Yeah, I'll be getting this one.

Cool, glad you like it. It was his "comeback" album back then, which made him much more known in the younger generation, although I must admit it: I missed this at the time and discovered it much later only. Embarassed

Btw, I read somewhere that they were recording band versions of those songs too, but then released the sparse acoustic versions, as they seemed to be better. Cool
