ALICE IN CHAINS: GREATEST HITS Compilation Album (2001)

ALICE IN CHAINS: GREATEST HITS Compilation Album cover

Greatest Hits is a greatest hits collection by Alice in Chains. It was released on July 24, 2001, on Columbia Records. Greatest Hits is the second collection of hit songs by the band, albeit shorter than the previous release, Nothing Safe: Best of the Box. Greatest Hits was certified gold by the RIAA on November 30, 2005. It was the last album released by Alice in Chains before the death of singer Layne Staley in 2002. Mike Starr plays bass on the album’s first five songs, while Mike Inez plays bass on the last five. The album featured two covers. The first cover features a photo of boxer Gene Fullmer receiving a crushing right from Neal Rivers during their 10-round bout at Madison Square Garden on November 15, 1957. The unofficial second cover features an image of the members of the band’s heads from the Facelift photoshoot without the text on the cover.
