Description: "Alice in Chains were among the loudest voices out of Seattle. They were pioneers who mixed grunge and metal in ways that continue to influence artists today, and theirs is a story of working hard, self-destructing, rising from the ashes, and carrying on a lasting legacy. The first of grunge's big four--ahead of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden--to get a gold record and achieve national recognition, they became one of the most successful bands to come out of the scene. But as the band got bigger, so did their problems. Acclaimed journalist David de Sola tells their full story in this deeply researched and moving biography."--Page [4] of cover.
