How is Godsmack a ripoff of Alice in chains? I don't hear any influence of Alice in chains in songs like Voodoo, Moon Baby and even their newer stuff.

Hey Man thats not my quote. <br><br>Speak, from the newer album, is very similar to Alice in Chains, but the entire acoustic album is like listening to a cover band.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[AIC really was an incredible band, most defintely my favorite from the 90s.

I'll second that. I was a huge AIC fan from the first album. I saw them years ago with pearl jam and screaming trees. One of the best shows i ever saw.<br>That was my era of music. In fact it is one of the reasons I wanted to learn guitar becuase I loved the "unplugged" acoustic sounds of the heavy stuff from AIC, STP, Soundgarden...<br><br>I couldn't even tell you who godsmack was, had no idea til i read this thread...but I'm sure they cant touch the orginal sound of AIC...]]></content:encoded>

They hadn't put out anything in years before he died.  It was an OD.  He was home alone, shot up, died right there.  It was a while before he was found, actually.<br><br>Several bands have done little tributes to him.  Staind has a song called "Layne" that is all about him.
