Alice in Chains

Grunge group has scrapped all of their headlining dates and festival appearances.

Tour kickoff was scrapped just hours before the band was scheduled to take the stage.

Studio vet also worked with the Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Spinal Tap during his three-decade career.

During one of the biggest moments in Alice in Chains’ history, the guitarist was ready to puke.

He admits the unique dissonant riff on 2009 comeback track still proves difficult to work with today.

Track appears on Alice in Chains guitarist’s upcoming solo album, featuring guest appearances by Metallica and Guns N’ Roses members plus others.

May the birthdays be filled with plenty of candles for these rock stars celebrating this month.

There also seemed to be one band many thought shouldn't be there.

From grunge to nu-metal, pop-punk to Brit-rock and all the alternative stuff around it, the '90s were a great period for rock music.

Rock and metal musicians talk about their first concert experiences, sharing which artists were the first that they ever saw perform live.
