MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1 – opening to “Them Bones”)

Big day for classic albums being released in 1992…

Today, we’re going with Alice in Chains, who gave us…

one of the darkest albums of the decade.

Dirt

(Music Cut #2 – hook to “Them Bones”)

Buried in the middle of Dirt…

is a very strange little track…

sometimes called “Untitled”…

sometimes “Iron Gland.”

And that voice you’re hearing…

isn’t Layne Staley.

(Music Cut #3 – “Iron Gland”)

Jerry Cantrell had written the riff…

and proceeded to drive the rest of the band crazy…

by playing it over and over again.

So they finally turned it into a song…

and brought in Tom Araya of Slayer…

to scream over it.

(Music Cut #4 – More “Iron Gland”)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“I feel so alone
Gonna end up a big ol’ pile of them bones.” – Alice In Chains “Them Bones”
