Welcome to Ton of Metal, kids. Here you will find a heavy music video posted every Saturday, as well as short (sometimes medium-to-long) commentary on the great bands that I have gone through the pain and disappointment of discovering so you don't have to. Also, every fourth Saturday, I'll post a trip down memory lane that I like to call Flashback, as well as the occasional theme month. I do all the work - all you have to do is subscribe at the bottom, or click in every Saturday and CRANK IT!

Flashback - Alice In Chains (yes, that Alice In Chains)
It's that time again already, kids: FLASHBACK! Today I'd like us to remember, or learn for the first time as the case may be, that Alice in Chains wasn't really a grunge band (just listen to "Them Bones" or "What the Hell Have I"), even though it came from the same place at the same time as some of grunge's heavy hitters. The band's first album, Facelift, is one of the single greatest heavy albums ever recorded. If you've only heard "Man In the Box" from that one, you've missed out - go back and listen to the whole thing. Here - you can start with "It Ain't Like That" and go from there - CRANK IT!
