Chris only did one show with us, and we hated the "dress" he wore btw :-D
I posted the following forward on the 1996 Alice 'N Chains vid:
This video, and others like it that I may post, are presented as a historical reference for the artists in the videos. We all start doing what we love somewhere, sometime. We were teenagers, with a big dream. The dreams of making killer music and playing on big stages. The dreams really never die when you love what you're doing. I'm living proof. This represents our roots. I'm not saying this is "killer music", I mean, this was really our 1st band, we were kids, our first attempt at writing and recording and performing. And it was the mid-80's so we looked ridiculous. We had a great time! We met a ton of people, and cultivated our craft from these early jam rooms and gigs. Layne always had the charisma and the voice, as you can see. We saw it too early on, just as you will here. This is how we all got started, that's all. Nothing more. Dream big everyone. Go for it. Never stop! I hope you all enjoy the vids. - Johnny Bacolas
