Alice in Chains rose to international fame as part of the grunge movement of the early 1990s, along with bands such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden. Their albums include Jar Of Flies, and Dirt, and have sold over 14 million albums in the US, with 2 reaching number one on Billboard's top 200, and 11 top ten singles. They were nominated six times for a Grammy Award. Their second album, 'Dirt', was a critical success, praised as a "major artistic statement...a flat-out masterpiece.' It spawned five top 30 singles, including 'Rooster', 'Them Bones', and 'Down in a Hole', and remained on the charts for nearly a year.
AIC music is characterized by the dark lyrics about drug abuse, depression, and suicide. Co-founder Layne Stayley died of a heroin overdose in 2002 after a lifelong battle with addiction. Staley's last major tour with AIC was in 1993's Lollapalooza Tour with Tool and Rage Against The Machine. "Jar of Flies", their acoustic album, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, becoming the first ever EP-and first Alice in Chains release-to top the charts.
