This provoked the retirement of Layne to his apartment in the U-District, recently acquired. The cancellation of the tour was like a bomb in the specialized media and every one of dedicated articles and reports to cover of the state of the band, and Layne in particular. Lost some trust in each other for a while.” After some rehearsals and watching how the situation was going, the band held a meeting in which they agreed to cancel the Metallica tour, despite the great opportunity it represented and the friendship that bound both bands. He just showed up, and there were bad circumstances. Nobody had talked to him-he’d been gone all that time. Layne was in a treatment place, and we’d been rehearsing ourselves. According to Sean Kinney: “We were rehearsing at the Moore Theatre to get ready for Metallica. When Layne finally came to the rehearsals, he didn´t come the way the other members expected. The tour started on and the cities where Alice in Chains would participate would be Vancouver (Canada), Seattle, Portland and San Diego, among others.ĭuring the prior period to the tour, the band was rehearsing at the Moore Theater in Seattle, with the exception of Layne, who was in a treatment center to overcome his illness, which increased during all dates that they had to do around the world during the exhausting 1993. This tour involved a superlative leap in the band's career, since Metallica was the greatest heavy metal act on the planet since they put out on the streets the black album. After that, the disaster came.Īlice in Chains had been booked to Woodstock and to be part of Metallica´s summer tour in 1994 called "Shit Hits The Sheds" or simply "Summer Shit 94" that included bands like Danzig, Suicidal Tendencies and Fight as opening acts, just like Alice in Chains on different dates of the tour. Coincidentally, the last appearance was made in unplugged format where they performed four songs, including the only time they have performed Am I Inside live, in Layne Staley´s voice. This last appearance took place at the Hollywood Palladium, on Januin a benefit concert for Norwood Fisher, Fishbone bass player, a band that Alice in Chains had established a very good friendship with, in the Lollapalooza tour II 1993. Two years and three months had been passed since the last public appearance of Alice in Chains in a concert.
