Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Them Bones by Alice in Chains

Today's Metal Track is Them Bones by Alice in Chains. This is the opening track off of their 1992 album Dirt which is one of the best albums of all time. This song is very efficient, clocking in at just 2 1/2 minutes.

This music video was featured on an episode of Beavis and Butt-head, where Butt-head claims that "this is the coolest video I've ever seen."

Jerry Cantrell on the song:
"I was just thinking about mortality, that one of these days we'll end up a pile of bones. It's a thought for every human being, whether you believe in an after-life or that when we die, that's it. The thought that all the beautiful things and knowledge and experiences you've been through just end when you end scares me, the thought that when you close your eyes for good, it's gone forever."
