Jerry Cantrell is a talented dude. Their unplugged album was the best one to come out of the Unplugged series even though the one for Nirvana is better known.

I wore out the unplugged tape I had of Alice in Chains. It was just awesome and definitely top 3 unplugged performance for me (Clapton's was damn good too along with Nirvana).

I know Courtney Love said for a long time that Grohl stole a lot of the music for the Foo Fighters from Cobain. So if he was still alive, there is a chance he would have been attached to that music/movement. But the Foo Fighters always seemed more fun and light hearted to have evolved from Nirvana's music, so I'm not sure I believe that.

I read this great article awhile back where it compared the great grunge singers (Cobain, Vedder, Staley/Cantrell and Cornell) to the singers of the British Invasion groups (Lennon/McCartney, Jagger, Daltery and Plant). Lots of interesting parallels. I was always really partial to Staley though and his story is way more tragic than Cobain's, plus he was more talented.. such a waste..
