I didn't realize as a kid how dark Layne's lyrics really were and after spending a lot of time digging into 'Sickman' it did occasionally get me in a weird headspace sometimes trying to interpret those lyrics over and over in my head.This Alice in Chains men's tshirt spotlights the Dirt album cover artwork. So, as a band, we started taking in the whole album again. "Going back to Dirt though, it had been many years since I had put on the album. He blasted out within a couple of hours what would have taken me days or weeks to figure out.
He is a great guitarist, much more than I am and that is the reason is why I asked my friend Dallas Thomas ( Pelican, The Swan King, Asschapel), another guitar player who's playing I admire, to come in and play some leads on the recording. As a guitar player, I have always respected and admired what Jerry Cantrell has been doing. Fast forward to new Alice in Chains and I really like what they are doing. I was really into Facelift and Dirt when they came out and enjoyed some Alice in Chains stuff after those albums, but I didn't really keep up with them. The band also commented on the significant of Alice in Chains. We are proud of what we came up with to keep it sounding like These Beasts while still being able to deliver a version that hardcore Alice in Chains fans might enjoy." "So listening to what might be one of Alice in Chains' most unconventional songs musically, 'Sickman,' at first we were a bit apprehensive, and we spent a couple of months just talking about how we should approach it before we even started learning it.
"We have never really played a cover song as a band in the first place, much less recorded one to go an album," said These Beasts about the cover.
