::: alice is dead:::

Yes. Layne Staley passed in 2002. We all know this. Many of us here miss him terribly. But life goes on. He had the original name Alice ‘N Chains. It came from his pet Tarantula spider. There is video evidence of this. He and Jer (and possibly Sean and Mike S.) agreed to use the name Alice In Chains before Columbia signed them. If you honestly think any of us are gonna believe theft/piracy of the band’s name you are trippin girl. Layne shared in the royalties of his band during the time he was alive. If there was a legal dispute about the use of the name I believe we would have heard something about it by now – like say 20 fucking years ago….

::: wtf do YOU KNOW? NOTHING!:::

Then enlighten us allie. Tell your tale. Use cold hard facts please. No alluding to half-truths or talking in cryptic *Only I know the truth* language. You come across as an unhinged rageaholic at the least, or an unmedicated bipolar at the worst. And I say worst because mental illness unchecked is a sad thing which happens daily in this country because mental illness is still considered a scourge. By continually spewing hatred and alluding to some kind of evil plot you know how you come across to me? It’s like you wanted on that tour-bus so bad back in the early 90’s and no-one gave you the time of day and by-god you’re gonna get your revenge somehow…

Try to look at this from a different perspective. Look at yourself from our point of view. Lots of folks still post No Layne – No Alice. Or Will Duvall sucks. They’re allowed. So are you. Arguments start – blaze – then burn out. It is the nature of things. Jer and the guys cannot please everyone honey and they don’t have to even try. But in the last seven years they have (in my opinion) gone above and beyond to gain consent/blessings from their fan populace to continue recording and write new material. Anyone who posted regularly on the AIC message boards in 2006 knows this. It’s the way you go about it, it’s how you present yourself here. If you hate the band so damn much – find a *We-fucking-hate-Alice-In-Chains* message board and fire away. Better yet – start one yourself.

:::GET OFF ME!:::

Why should she? Why should anyone for that matter? Look allie, your modus operandum is to incessantly troll anyone who opposes you, comments in opposition to your posts, or responds to you in any way whatsoever which in your mind does not agree with your conspiracy theory. Try a little civil behavior. It goes a long way. You choose to continually post your brief but vitriolic diatribes. People who love this band are going to react – and not in a positive way. Period. You get what you give in this life. It’s just that simple.

Peace
