River & Dam

I see need to express that I have a soft spot for Alice in Chains, but despite this fact I haven't yet managed to listen to more than a few songs or maybe half an album of them in one go (1) (2), which makes it more of a matter of principle for me than of the heart.

There are one or two songs of theirs that I really like and even find absolutely fantastic, but so far it has always balanced out nicely without ever feeling like I've missed anything.

Until I recently read, to my astonishment but not really to my big surprise, how someone from the fan sector drew a comparison between Alice in Chains' Dam That River (1992) and Kiss' Master & Slave (1997) from their universally popular and beloved 90s metal album Carnival of Souls, cough! And to my greater astonishment, dear people, I can only agree with this, and of course not without displaying my very own understanding of the matter in a framework that is at least halfway satisfactory for all of us.

Which, in turn, puts me in the position of being able to proudly present another case of parallel universe twins, this time with a first-degree relationship in riff structure and a more cousinly relationship in melody. But that doesn't really matter much, because Kiss have more or less reassembled the riff of Dam That River from their own older riffs anyway, so that the whole damn thing always sounds like Kiss (3).

But here it comes, Master & Slave definitely decides the race as a long-distance groove in its favor, and quite clearly in my opinion. You know, it's more clearly structured, more melodic, overall the more polished and distinctive and at the same time the catchier (and much more acrobatic) riff, and it's got an equally smooth dynamic with its loud and quiet changes between metal guitars, and a soft warm but still very nasty bass,

where Alice in Chains evoke rather lively and somewhat insane impressions of a furiously rumbling, black smoke coughing engine made of bent and rusted metal and tangled spiky wires. Which, of course, has an appeal in itself that should not be underestimated, but they don't get very far this way, if I may say so.

So, Kiss: One point. Grunge: Zero points.

Side Note:

(1) Not including the Jar of Flies EP (1994) or MTV Unplugged (1996), but that shouldn't matter much today because it was certainly a good 30 years ago.

(2) Basically hardly anything other than one of the main arguments why many of the old hardcore Kiss addicts reject Carnival of Souls altogether.

(3) And I should have subtly mentioned more than once in passing where these can only come from.

#1132: Youth Gone Not-So-Wild

RECORD STORE TALES #1132: Youth Gone Not-So-Wild I love admitting to my past musical sins.  Perhaps others will learn from my mistakes. I was in grade 11, a mere 16 years old, when the music video for “Youth Gone Wild” hit the airwaves.  Skid Row were the latest thing, a band promoted by Jon Bon Jovi himself, from his home state of New Jersey.  We didn’t know yet that the lead singer, Sebastian…
