10 Best William DuVall Era Alice In Chains Songs
3. Check My Brain
Check My Brain is one of the most definitive songs from the Alice in Chains mark two line-up. It packs a punch with the combination of its hooky vocals and hummable main guitar riff and became an instant hit among fans of the band new and old, so much so that it has been played at nearly every single one of their live shows since its debut. Lyrically the song addresses the irony of Jerry Cantrell's residence in Los Angeles. As the bandleader has stated himself, it's dangerous territory living in the belly of the beast as a former drug addict.
With Check My Brain we hear Alice in Chains rebuilding their legacy and having fun while they do it. The dizzying main guitar riff is now iconic in the annals of metal. The song as a whole is proof positive of the viability of the second generation of the band.
