Alice In Chains Tribute?

A forthcoming Alice In Chains tribute helmed by Mudvayne frontman Chad Gray's Warner Bros. imprint label Bullygoat Records has been heavily rumoured. The effort, said to carry the title "We Pay Our Debt Sometimes: A Tribute To Alice In Chains", is slated to feature contributions from a wealth of rock/nu metal acts.

Moreover, studio musicianship for the outing is said to largely be overseen by the most recent Alice In Chains rhythm section, consisting of bassist Mike Inez and drummer Sean Kinney.

The very tentative list of tracks reportedly set to look as follows:

Mudvayne - "Bleed The Freak"

Cold - "Junkhead"

Cardboard Vampyres - "Don't Follow"

Static-X - "Again"

Breaking Benjamin - "Would?"

Patrick Lachman / Jerry Cantrell - "Sea Of Sorrow"

Aaron Lewis - "Am I Inside"

Bloodsimple - "Rain When I Die"

Puddle Of Mudd - "I Stay Away"

Mark Lanegan / Mike McCready - "Frogs"

Adema - "Nutshell"

Audioslave - "Rooster"

Zakk Wylde / Jerry Cantrell - "Heaven Beside You"

shit.....im alice's biggest fan. amazing.

[DogOfWar]

Most of these bands are crap, and shouldnt be anywhere near alice in chains. this pisses me off. mudvayne? puddle of mudd? adema? for christs sakes.

[Harmonius]

WHOA! Awsomeness

[Covin]

*rolls eyes* That's the point of a "tribute." You tribute to those you look up to, those that are better and/or inspiring.

[Volkl]

Sweee..t

[monkeyfromhell]

Actually, I'm anxious to hear this, i'm a big alice fan, and a big zakk fan...i thinkt hat Puddle of mudd would do a great job on a alice song...i'll buy it rigth when it comes out.

[metallica4evr]

y aren't they doing "them bones"?that's one of their best songs!

[metallica4evr]

y is breaking benjamin there they suck.mudvayne is ok but i am not really a fan.they shud hav got a band like foo fighters(strings of nirvana) or audioslave to play some of the some seein as how audioslave came out of soundgarden.

[headstone05]

the more i think about it puddle of mudd would probably do a damn good job of "i stay away"

[drmsr_23]

?
I like alice in chains...

So if you guys have any problems with the bands who's gonna cover their songs...reffrain from posting this thread ok?
?

[zepplinmike]

*** puddle of mudd. Good to see that the AIC tribute band Godsmack aint on there.

[hardcoreatheist]

should be interesting hope they dont kill any songs tho

[Kendawg4TooL]

I like the idea of a tribute album but I don't like alot of the bands on that list. Oh well, I'll keep an open ear and see if they do it well.

[dmcphedran]

Ohhhh man! Its so good to hear shit from jerry mike and sean again...i havent heard anything about those guys in forever. Bravo...

*faint*

[oblique]

I don't care for most of those bands, but hearing Mark Lanegan and Mike McCready will be so awesome. Audioslave should do a cool version of rooster too.

[psychodelia]

I thought Godsmack was already practically an Alice in Chains type band, I thought they'd be on here.

I'm interested in the Rooster cover.

[Hendrix1970]

^^^so am i seeing audioslave do rooster should be intresting

[sheehan17]

it's cool their doing a tribute, alice in chains were amazing... layne had such a cool voice.

[Tregxander92]

Puddle Of Mudd is going to murder that song. It's my favorite Alice In Chains song, and they're one of my least favorite bands.

[slyo]

i've already heard the cover of nutshell by adema and i like it!

[Lespaulclash]

Zakk Wylde / Jerry Cantrell - "Heaven Beside You" wanna hear that

[Butterknife]

aarg, sooo many bands I dislike doing covers. I don't know how well Zakk will be able to sing heaven beside you.

[kmc123]

That's sounds pretty good. I should check that out when it comes out.

[Phoenixblade]

I will kill to get my hands on this cd. I will burn bestbuy and fye to the ground to the ground if nessacary. Mark Lannegan and Mike Mcready, Jerry Cantrell and Zakk Wylde, the cardboard vampyres? this is going to kick ass.

[BLSTillDEATH13]

Zakky and Jerry are goin to be there thats awsome they always do a kick ass job but the rest of the bands suck.

[PumpkinsPunk]

This is like the Icon thing with Metallica, where everybody played a song from them, but AWESOME! ALICE IN CHAINS ROCKS MY FU*KIN SOCKS.

[sirpsycho85]

theres much more good on there than the usual tribute...mccready, lenegan, obviously cantrell. just a shame my two favorites, would? and nutshell are done by crappy bands. but who knows, maybe they just write crappy songs, but cover stuff well

[THC-Llama]

sorry for oduble post but at elaste its not a bunch of those shit metal bands that try to sound exactly like layne cus that would just be disgraceful

[DaddyTwoFoot]

Mudvayne doing Bleed the Freak makes me want to cry.

[DaddyTwoFoot]

Holy shit, they're doing a Rain When I Die cover? that's weird, that song usually gets ignored. Cool, that was the first AIC song I ever fell in love with. I've never heard Bloodsimple though...

[RHCP_FAN88]

FUCK YEAH!!! hot lineup too...

[slipknotfan_88]

simply speechless...i love it

[soundrock31]

zakk wylde + audioslave + alice in chains songs = SWEEE..TTT!!!..

[Kartman]

"We Pay Our Debt Sometimes: A Tribute To Alice In Chains", is slated to feature contributions from a wealth of rock/nu metal acts

NU METAL????

[[NIN]_ROCK!]

WOW!THIS IS OUTSTANDING!AIC ROCK!!!..

[THC-Llama]

awesome...audioslave cover of rooster and zakk wylde and jerry redoing heaven beside you...i got chills..and uh who the *** could do a half decent cover of man in the box layne was amazing no one else comes close to his singing ability metallica_1981

[metallica_1981]

where the hell is "Man In The Box" ????

[altronataku]

i love alice in chains but sadly the only one i look forward to is zakk and jerry's collaboration for heaven besides you.

[sinterpol]

Puddle of Mudd? Puddle of Shit. Sounds interesting besides the Fred Durst quartet

[rEvilation]

i hate you ***ing people
always bitchin about "oh that band sucks" assholes
if you dont have anythin nice to say then dont say anything at all
and stop wastin your time complaining
opinionated bastards

[fadetoblack89]

awesome, A Tribute well deserved. Alice in chains were "one of a kind". Gotta Show em some respect!

[ndat]

OH NO!!! that could turn out very horribly... might be good, but then again it might just be good for a laugh.

[southern_stylin]

I'm pretty sure that AIC would rather have Puddle of Mudd than you. In fact, even though I'm not a big Puddle of Mudd fan I'm certain they'll do a good job of it, and if they don't, well, it says right in the article that Mike and Sean are overseeing the studio part of it. If it sucks they probably won't release it.

I say it's been a long time coming. And really, I don't care who plays on it, if they were influenced by AIC they have every right to play.

[southern_stylin]

Oh yeah.... and wouldn't that be funny if Godsmack was covering Godsmack? How many ***in kids would be like, "Whoa, I didn't know Alice in Chains wrote a song about my favorite band!"

[redshademotion]

Breaking Benjamin though? Ew....

Why not Chevelle? Those guys carry a similar sound, and I know they were huge fans of AIC

[trickie]

theres a couple that look good, audioslave doing rooster?

[angusyoungwanab]

id wanna hear audioslave do man in the box. think about the funkyness Tom could add to it. like headstone05, i think puddle of mudd will do a great job for "i stay away". i'll definitly get it....if it comes out.

[[NIN]_ROCK!]

AIC will always b a legendary band,so it's an honor 2 have all those bands making a tribute 2 them!Every contribution is good and you guys should stop bitching about that!Once again,AIC still ROCKS after all those years and they will live 4 ever!R.I.P.,Layne.

[bennie_2006]

oh whoops! i thought this was advertising godsmacks new cd or something

[ripewithdecay]

i was really surprised to see bloodsimple on there.. awesome band fronted by the x vision of disorder singer... both amazing bands, can't wait to hear them cover rain when i die

[slipknotfan_88]

Statix-X's cover of Again will sound very...different but im sure it will kick ass. Anything paying tribute to my favorite band will kick ass except if Simple Plan did a cover...

[kaliba]

Mark Lanegan / Mike McCready - "Frogs"!!!! wow that and the audioslave songs are the ones id like to listen to but what a combination for that song both brillant musicans

[LatinRoller89]

yes i love Alice in Chains they desrve this tribute i like the one with zack wylde, thats gonna be crazy i think Staind should do a song too.

[SMITH05]

HOLY SHIT!YES, can't wait to hear this. Especially Aaron Lewis, Audioslave, and Mudvayne. But everyone on here is amazing and I'm sure the album will be the same.

[mikemike311]

I think this is kinda blows because they left out so many good songs like "down in a hole" and "no excuses". but i cant wait to hear "heaven beside you" with cantrell and wylde. Alice in chains rocks

[SixStrings]

Butterknife:
aarg, sooo many bands I dislike doing covers. I don't know how well Zakk will be able to sing heaven beside you.
^^
Zakk may harmonize with jerry cantrell, but jerry wrote the song and did most of the singing on it to. check out jerry cantrells solo project Degradation Trip volumes 1&2. the sound is very much alice in chains, and he sounds so much like layne stayley.
also i'm deffinitely looking forward to that Audioslave cover of rooster, should be one of the highlights.

[JelloPuppet]

rooster is going to sound bitchin, expecially with cornell singing it...

[VerseChorusVers]

i'll buy it just for "rooster" "i stay away" and "heaven beside you"

[razorkiss]

smells like shit to me but at least Godsmack ain't on there

[NaStYJoSe]

It'll be interesting to see if those bands include the solos on the songs, if they do I'll probably like them. It seems to me that AIC's songs are musically more complex then a lot of those bands songs are so we'll have to see how it goes.

[the_clairvoyant]

no grind???..

[kurtshapedbox]

Zakk and Jery I just shit myself.

[ColdbringeR]

Whether you like the bands or not, most at least have good vocalists, so it should be interesting.

[Ed Vedder19]

I am so pumped on this!! mike freakin mcready on frogs!! and breaking benjamin will own would. cant wait to hear zakk and jerry too

[Ed Vedder19]

MIKE MCCREADY

[AvErAgLyCrAzY]

man this is gonna suck, nu metal bands suck, the only good ones are P.O.M, Audioslave, and Mark Lanegan / Mike McCready. The rest is caca..... DIE MUDVAYNE DIE!!!.. or disappear to the bottom of the metal charts....

[Rock_Fan02]

im looking forward to Audioslave doing Rooster that song rules! and Zakk Wylde and Jerry doing heaven beside you, but i bet Breaking Benjamin r gonna butcher the shit out of Would? Ill probably buy it though

[ad_lib_oz]

Wow, I only have respect for Lanegan.

[DaddyTwoFoot]

^ You don't have respect for Cantrell, who wrote the lion's share of those songs?

[systematic_999]

why isn't anyone doing Man in the Box or Got Me Wrong?

[NaStYJoSe]

"We Pay Our Debt Sometimes: A Tribute To Alice In Chains", is slated to feature contributions from a wealth of rock/nü metal acts, with the very tentative list of tracks reportedly set to look as follows:"

If you go to the site they get it from then it says that. It'll be interesting to see what ends up changing.

[dandesmond]

That would be worth checking out actually, I like a fair few of the bands. Love how Cantrell tributes two of his own songs lol

[RMX]

That's nice.

[CSguitarvocal]

Zakk Wylde / Jerry Cantrell - "Heaven Beside You"

*Interests aroused*

[Pontius]

Audioslave on an Alice in Chains song? That's enough right there...it'd be cool to hear Chris Cornell sing Them Bones though

[CholeraBassist]

i think a better song for audioslave would have been Them Bones your right. why title the album after a song that isn't getting played on the album though...i love Over Now

[Dynasty Warrior]

To everyone like "OMG WHY IS MUDVAYNE BREAKING BENJAMIN AND STATIC X AND ADEMA HERE??!! WAAAAHHH!"

That's the whole point of a TRIBUTE ... Frankly I think it's wonderful that they're all acknowledging the one band that inspired them all. Alice in Chains's influence oftentimes goes so ignored, everyone's like "Nirvana did it all bla bla bla", well with this finally maybe Alice in Chains will get the recognition that they so wholly deserve.

[RadioBart]

Mudvayne - "Bleed The Freak" - WEAK
Cold - "Junkhead" - WEAK
Cardboard Vampyres - "Don't Follow" - Jerry's cover band, freakin' sweet.
Static-X - "Again" - SUPER WEAK
Breaking Benjamin - "Would?" - Sorta weak
Patrick Lachman / Jerry Cantrell - "Sea Of Sorrow" - Sweet
Aaron Lewis - "Am I Inside" - WEAK
Bloodsimple - "Rain When I Die" - WEAK
Puddle Of Mudd - "I Stay Away" - GAY
Mark Lanegan / Mike McCready - "Frogs" - Amazing. Lanegan is an awesome singer, and McCready is just as good as Jerry on guitar.
Adema - "Nutshell" - WEAK
Audioslave - "Rooster" - Something to look forward to
Zakk Wylde / Jerry Cantrell - "Heaven Beside You" - Bad Ass.

[southern_stylin]

Who died and put you in charge? I'll keep your opinion in mind when I'm buying the shit out of this record. Loser.

[I-AM-ME]

Hey... atleast Green Day didn't do a cover...

[SickMetal]

That's a very dissapointing list of bands.

[RadioBart]

[QUOTE=southern_stylin]Who died and put you in charge? I'll keep your opinion in mind when I'm buying the shit out of this record. Loser.

Good job on that one, chief. I was merely stating what I thought of the bands and what songs they would be performing on the tribute. I wasn't telling you that you have to think what I think or I'm going to put you in Auchwitz. I was merely saying what I thought. That is the point of commenting on articles isn't it? To say what you think about them? I'll keep your comment in mind when I decide to reply to something on this website again. Idiot.

[Rexave]

Hmm...Ok one thing's for sure. Cold, Puddle of Mudd and Aaron Lewis are all ***in amazing and will do their jobs really well. Havent really heard Mudavayne. Only heard 'dig' and umm...well twas aiii..ght ..nothin gr8..got loads of other good shit to listen to.
Breaking Benjamin are really good as well..but Jerry cantrell is ***in AMAZING..and his live performances r exceptional too.
To cut a long story short...Im really looking forward to this tribute album! :

[Scourge441]

Zakk Wylde AND Jerry Cantrell?

I have to hear this.

[ADarkerBreed]

No Them Bones or Man in the Box, something's missing

[omac]

I look forward to hearing this c.d.. I'll listen to every track. I don't know how good it will be or not, in the end it dosen't matter because after Ilisten to these artists pay tribute I'll take that c.d. out and drop in some of the real thing. It's music done right.

[ilikpie]

yayaa! ugh... Lil' Jon must die

[matter]

it's a hoax -- http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=40187

[Layne_cantrell]

if adema screw up Nutshell, my favourite song of all time, i will be severely pissed off.

[AliceinChains20]

Where's Man in a Box or Angry Chair. If a band can do Angry Chair and nail it, their the best band in the world.
