On this day, 20 years ago, we reunited at VH1’s Decades of Rock. Filmed in Atlantic City, New Jersey, this show was a tribute to the band Heart, and featured a new and unexpected chapter in the Alice In Chains story. William made his first appearance with the band, and two months later we embarked on an ambitious touring schedule that would take us around the world for the remainder of the year. This led to more touring in 2007 and eventually into the studio in 2008, where recording began on the first new Alice In Chains album since 1995. It all began (again) in the spring of 2006. As 2026 unfolds, we’ll look back at some memorable moments not only from 20 years ago, but from other years as well.

“There’s a song called “Frogs” on this new record, right? Layne wrote the coolest words…that first line of the song, to me that just really hits home with our whole band. We know what friendship means, and we know what standing by your bro and standing by your people, and having them stand by you…it’s such a special feeling when someone sticks up for you.” — Mike Inez, RIP (1996) 📸: Rocky Schenck

“To date, this record probably offers the clearest view of my influences. I could point out 50 of them, from Brian May to Lindsey Buckingham, Dave Johnstone to Hendrix, Iommi to Page; there’s all kinds of shit in there.” — @JerryCantrell, Guitar World (1996)| 📸: Rocky Schenck

“There’s no huge, deep message in any of the songs. It was just what was going on in my head right then. We had good times, and we had bad times. We recorded a few months of being human” — Layne Staley, Rolling Stone (1996) | 📸: Rocky Schenck

“We really stripped down the sound this time. There’s no compression or effects or anything. I used one 808 drum hit, and that’s it. It’s a really clean sounding record” - Sean Kinney, Request (1996) | 📸:Rocky Schenck

“When I was a paper boy and I used to deliver papers, this dog used to chase me around. It was real vicious and had three legs. They called it Tripod. It’s haunted me ever since!“ — Sean Kinney, Metal Hammer (1996) Alternate art for Alice In Chains featuring Sunshine by Rocky Schenck
