Alice in Chains has been pretty quiet about their new album that is coming out soon, they haven’t even released the name of it yet. It will be the band’s first in almost five years though and I’m betting they’ll be playing some new material from this upcoming release on this tour. Their DC date is going to be at the newly opened venue The Anthem in Southwest DC’s redeveloped District Wharf area. The 6,000 person venue is run by IMP, the same company that runs the 9:30 Club and Merriweather Post Pavilion. The openers for this show are Walking Papers, a Seattle based band featuring Duff McKagan of Guns N Roses as well as Jeff Angell of The Missionary Position and Barrett Martin of Screaming Trees. Their second album, WP2, was released in January of this year. Now check out these videos of the bands below and leave a comment telling me what you favorite Alice in Chains song is!
Alice in Chains – Hollow
Alice in Chains – Your Decision
Walking Papers – Leave Me In The Dark

“Check My Brain” is definately favorite Alice in Chains song. Thanks D.C Heavy Metal.Com for this opportunity!
My favorite would have to be Love Hate Love. The amazing live performance at the Moore Theatre in their home town of Seattle. Layne at his best. Have seen them with William and he is doing a damn fine job in a spot impossible to fill.
Just one? Idk….Killer Is Me, Angry Chair, Them Bones, Grind…I love them all.
I saw them w/Velvet Revolver in Phoenix in 2007 when William DuVall debuted. I was blow away. Kick ass show!
Man In A Box
I stay away
Them Bones!
Stone is one of the heaviest and most destructive tracks they’ve done.
Stone is the heaviest thing.
Nothin’ Song.
Rooster… followed closely by No Excuses and Would?
