RIP Magazine’s June issue features Alice In Chains.

“Press Watch: The latest rock rag to hop on the Alice in Chains
bandwagon is RIP, which has a feature article on the hard-rocking Seattle group in its June issue.

The story, by Michael Browning, starts out with a report on the band’s jam session with Poison at a concert here in January – they did Kiss’ “I Wanna Rock and Roll All Nite” – and includes a band interview conducted at vocalist Layne Staley’s “comfy Lake Union residence.” Staley explains that some of the songs on the band’s “Facelift” LP were in- spired by personal experiences. For instance, he recounts that he was treating someone he loved “really badly” and “writing it down on paper and singing it was really therapeutic. Once I could sing it and get it out, that pattern stopped.” And it’s cheaper than a therapist. The story says the band will tour Europe with Megadeth before returning home for a national tour of its own.”
