  1. Alice in Chains got its name in a pretty interesting way! The band formed in the late 1980s, and the name was actually suggested by guitarist Jerry Cantrell. He wanted something that sounded a bit eerie and mysterious but also had a sort of "grunge" vibe that fit their music style.

    Some say the name was inspired by the phrase "Alice in Chains" as a metaphor, like someone trapped or restrained, which fits the darker themes in their lyrics and sound. It also captures a mix of innocence (Alice) and confinement or struggle (chains).

    So, it’s less about a specific story or person named Alice, and more about creating a memorable, haunting name that matched their music’s mood.
