On this day, 20 years ago, we reunited at VH1’s Decades of Rock.
Filmed in Atlantic City, New Jersey, this show was a tribute to the band Heart, and featured a new and unexpected chapter in the Alice In Chains story.
William made his first appearance with the band, and two months later we embarked on an ambitious touring schedule that would take us around the world for the remainder of the year.
This led to more touring in 2007 and eventually into the studio in 2008, where recording began on the first new Alice In Chains album since 1995.
It all began (again) in the spring of 2006. As 2026 unfolds, we’ll look back at some memorable moments not only from 20 years ago, but from other years as well.
