Talk:Man in the Box/Archive 1

I added the part about it being the most well known song of theirs. This is based purely on my estimation and experience that while several people I've encountered have never heard of Alice in Chains, if Man in the Box were played for them, they would respond positively with something like "Oh yeah, I've heard this song before." Due to this, I believe my assertion to be true, despite contrary evidence by Audioscrobbler. The stuff about Rooster and Would are also based on my experiences of these three songs being the trifecta of popularity. Even if someone had never heard Man in the Box, I believe they will have heard Rooster or Would. 172.159.62.11 (talk) 18:31, 6 June 2005 (UTC)

Biased?

The bit about what makes it so memorable comes across as biased. Satchfan 09:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, along with the part about how "the beat fits perfectly with Staley's voice." Macarion 01:38, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Don't really think there was any question that it was biased. Replaced the text with something more neutral. Also removed: "Cantrell happens to have used some very technical equipment, such as a talkbox and distortion for the verses and a wah-wah pedal which gives the song a very Slash-like solo" for a number of reasons: 1. It's completely nonsensical. 2. It's opinionated in the Slash comparison 3. It doesn't specify the type of distortion used, just that it's used (Which in the grunge genre is relatively obvious) 4. It's not information that's only true for this song. Cantrell makes use of all those in most songs he writes.

I agree with Man in the Box and Rooster being two of their most popular, but isn't Heaven Beside You a bit more popular than Would?? --74.129.216.68 01:14, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Alice In Chains is one the greatest bands that ever hit the charts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.222.237.93 (talk) 20:13, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure that many fellow rockers agree, Alice in Chains and Nirvana are probably the greatest grunge bands ever. "Man in the Box" shows a strong hand with all members of Alice in Chains, and so does every other song they have made. This song is so freakin' addicting though, I can't get that solo out of my head! brainybassist 01:12, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Um, Pearl Jam much? Umma Kynes 06:17, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

I removed the part about this song being in the Movie LASSIE(!?!?). As IMDB states, it was Man In A Box by Layne Staley which was in the 1994 movie. Umma Kynes 06:17, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
