J from NY said Must read. This is one of the most direct band bios I've ever read, though of course the focus is on Layne Staley, not the other guys.You can smell the drugs coming from this book. In all the rock biographies I've read I've never read about this much drug abuse on the part of one person, though all of the band members dabbled here and there. Staley remains a great artist, a genius vocally and in terms of the videos and concerts, despite the horrible self degradation he ended his life and AIC with.Mike Starr's story is in some ways more degrading ("Degradation Trip" indeed) than Staley's. He showed up on a d. "AIC" according to Andrew. I love the grunge bands, especially Alice in Chains, and bought this with birthday money for Amazon. From the first words I was engrossed. The author constructs an impressively complex portrait of a fairly enigmatic band. From the beginning you know where the story is going (if you're familiar with Alice) and as it progresses it becomes more and more heartbreaking as the details surrounding Layne and Mike Starr's addiction unfolds. I would highly recommend this book not just for fans of the band, but for those seeking to understand addiction in general.If there's some minor quibbles, it's these 2. Great Book for Alice Fans Alex This is a great book for any fan of Alice In Chains looking to understand more about the band. The primary focus of the book is on the late frontman Layne Staley. The book describes the good and bad times Layne and the rest of the members went through, even before the formation of the band. As a huge Layne Staley and Alice In Chains fan, I was suprised at how much I didn't know prior to reading this. The material in this book is well researched and backed by interviews with people close to the band. The book is awesome and captivating to say the least.
He lives in Los Angeles. David de Sola is a journalist with experience working at CNN, 60 Minutes, and Reuters, whose work has also been published in The Atlantic, The Huffington Post, and other print and online publications.
Based on a wealth of interviews with people who have direct knowledge of the band, many speaking on the record for the very first time, de Sola explores how drugs nearly destroyed them and claimed the lives of Staley and founding bassist Mike Starr, follows Jerry Cantrell's solo career and Mike Starr's life after being fired from the band, and chronicles the band's resurrection with new lead singer William DuVall.From their anonymous struggles to topping the charts with hits like "Would?," "Man in the Box," and "Rooster," Alice in Chains reveals the members of the band not as caricatures of rock stars but as brilliant, nuanced, and flawed human beings whose years of hard work led to the seemingly overnight success that cha
