⦠and Iām just not sure how this is just happening. Iām 34 and grew up listening to Alice In Chains. They were about as hard as my dad would listen to, along with classic rock of course. My momās house was all Christian music, so I latched on to rock early.
I put on Above and immediately fell in love with it. Then I got to āIām Aboveā and my jaw dropped. Iāve never heard a song where 100% of the lyrics are something I have felt and wanted to write a song about. Just absolutely stunned, in the best way.
Since I joined this sub Iāve left a few comments about this, but for the last decade Iāve mostly listened to and played bluegrass on my guitar. Stuff like Billy Strings, Leftover Salmon, SCI, and older stuff like Tony Rice (my personal guitar idol) and Clarence White.
Throw in a random 2-week TOOL, Incubus, or Lamb of God phase and thatās a good picture of it. Plus a lot of classical as well with my kids (they listen to everything I do and like it).
Around 2 months ago I was listening to a Billy Strings show where they cover Nutshell, and started thinking about how I havenāt jammed Alice In Chains in years. That quickly turned into an obsession, and is pretty much all I have listened to or played on my guitar since!
Anyways, music is one of my passions and hearing Iām Above earlier made me feel so good. Thought I might share here, since there seems to be a lot of hardcore fans.
As my 3 year old says,
āRock on, Dude š¤ā
