The Resume

    (1987- )
    Formed in Seattle
    Layne Staley (August 22, 1967 - April 22, 2002) - Vocalist)
    Jerry Cantrell (March 18, 1966 - Guitarist)
    Mike Inez (May 14, 1966 - Bassist)
    Sean Kinney (May 27, 1966 - Drummer)
    Recorded 'Man In The Box,' 'Rooster,' 'Would?,' 'I Stay Away,' and 'Get Born Again'

Why they might be annoying:

    Layne had problems with drug abuse. His heroin addiction allegedly led to a cancellation of a tour with Metallica.
    Although 1994's 'Jar of Flies' went multi-platinum and dominated the charts, the quartet did not tour; the band later announced it was going on hiatus.
    In 1996, they opened a few dates for KISS.
    They shifted away from the 'Black Sabbath/Led Zepplin' style of dark heavy rock of their debut, to a softer acoustic style.
    Jerry Cantrell made cameo appearances in the movies 'Jerry McGuire' and 'Private Parts.'
    Layne overdosed on heroin, and layed dead for two weeks without anyone realizing he was gone (2002).
    They performed at Bill Clinton's 1992 Inaguration.

Why they might not be annoying:

    On tour with Van Halen, Jerry Cantrell's parachute failed to operate properly and he nearly fell to his death (1991).
    They were labeled 'Alternative' like most Seattle bands after Nirvana became a huge success.
    Rumors of a break up constantly haunted the band.
    Many of their videos were ground breaking.
    They made fun of Metallica for getting their long hair cut short, but the two bands remain good friends.
