Description
In the late 1980s, Alice In Chains, a band from Seattle, caught producer Dave Jerden's attention with their unique sound and drop-D guitar tuning. Despite initial chaos, Jerden saw potential and helped them record their debut album, Facelift. Facing challenges like Layne Staley's drug issues and opening for heavy metal acts, they eventually gained traction with their breakthrough single, Man In The Box. This led to massive success, making them the first Seattle grunge band to reach mainstream America, and influencing the entire grunge movement.
