Before They Were Stars: Alice In Chains
Before Alice In Chains became one of the four cornerstone bands (along with Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Nirvana) of Seattle grunge rock of the '90s, they were another up and coming local hair metal band.
Called Alice 'N Chains and released in 1987, this demo has everything. Samples, a horn section (you heard me), and the dopiest lyrics this side of Winger. No deep grungy depressiveness here and Layne Staley hadn't quite developed the voice he would be famous for. Enjoy.

Pass The Buc Wheats....
Buc Wheats were a maple flavoured cereal that was very popular in the '70s. However in the early '80s, they switched the flavouring from maple to honey (probably to compete with newer, trendier honey flavoured cereals in the early '80s.) And sales plummeted. It just tasted AWFUL without the maple flavour.
Unfortunately, instead of reverting back to the classic formula and saving the brand, General Mills discontinued Buc Wheats altogether in 1984.
