Have you ever watched the Alice in Chains unplugged?  Staley was obviously a shell of himself due to the years of drug addiction, but I'll be damned if he didn't still come out and absolutely crush it.  Incredible performance.

 Over now unplugged is the only AiC song i can listen to and it's perfect unplugged. the guitar licks/harmony are genius.

Not a fan of them I take it?  I like them, but they're not nearly as high on my list as most of the other grunge bands

Soundgarden is the best of that group, and it's not even close.

I prefer STP to Soundgarden, but I have no problem with that opinion

Ahhh gotcha - so you have Soundgarden ahead of Pearl Jam? 

THIS is unplugged perfection

For sure, I do like Pearl Jam, but Cornell is on another level compared to Vedder and the rest of the Seattle frontmen.

Again, I agree.  However, Ten is probably the best album to ever come out of Seattle.

i respect them but their sound was just too ''different'' for me when that period came around. i slid more towards pearl jam and smaller acts, favoring STP.

I like some AiC songs, but I am not throwing on a full album and listening cover to cover.

Same, with the exception of Unplugged.  Not really an album, but I've listened to that one straight through more times than I can count.

not the hugest AIC fan myself, but they did have some really good songs. their song "brother" is one of my all-time favs. 

 

also, mad season's river of deceit is up there too.

Fleetwood has been back and forth though and actually are going one last final tour together. 

Even with Lindsey Buckingham?

Asked whether or not Buckingham would rejoin Fleetwood Mac for a hypothetical farewell tour, Fleetwood responded: "Strange things can happen. I look at Fleetwood Mac as a huge family. Everyone plays an important role in our history, even someone like [early ’70s] guitarist Bob Welch, who was huge and sometimes gets forgotten.

 

"Lindsey’s position in Fleetwood Mac will, for obvious reasons, never been forgotten, as it should never be forgotten.”

 

He continued: "My vision of things happening in the future is really far-reaching. Would I love to think that [reunion] could happen? Yeah. I’d love to think that all of us could be healed, and also respect the people who are in the band, Neil Finn and Michael Campbell.”

Appears they are at least talking about it.
