Friday's Lost Video Part 1

Alice in Chains formed in Seattle, Washington in 1987 by guitarist Jerry Cantrell and vocalist Layne Staley. Although widely associated with grunge music, the band's sound incorporates heavy metal and acoustic elements. The band is known for its distinct vocal style which often includes the harmonized vocals of Staley and Cantrell.

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.
Although never officially disbanding, Alice in Chains was plagued by extended inactivity due to Layne Staley's problems with substance abuse, culminating in his death in 2002. "No Excuses" is in my opinion one of their best songs. Please enjoy.

Yep, liked this one a lot. Some of their stuff can be pretty different.

From the Jar of Flys EP.. No Excuses is one of my fav tunes in rock per se. I love the melody-awesome guitars and kick drum. Nice harmonics.
