Alex is right. Alice in Chains is an awesome band. Kiss? Eh, not so much... in this dude's eyes at least.

dude, AIC played with OZZY! on Ozzy's No More Tours Tour in 1992 or 1993 right after no more tears

that would have been a rockin show

I know Ozzy is in many ways the father of Metal, but I'd still take Alice In Chains over Ozzy any day. Perhaps it's because they were one of the first metal bands I really got into... not really sure.

I bet if someone had told you in 1992 that Ozzy would outlive Layne, you would have told them they were nuts :P

I'd always want to see Ozzy over any band, but that's just me. Except Black Sabbath :P

True that... Ozzy was burnt out even back in '92.

I dunno... I like Ozzy's music, but I've always felt that Ozzy was less of a talent than the people he surrounded himself with. That's an art in itself I guess... I dunno.
