"Fear the Voices" is the last single that Alice in Chains released with vocalist Layne Staley and the only one co-written by founding bassist Mike Starr. The song was included on the box set Music Bank (1999).
Origin and recording
"Fear the Voices" is an outtake from the Dirt album, recorded in 1991. In the liner notes of 1999's Music Bank box set collection, guitarist Jerry Cantrell said of the song:
Another cool song from that demo for the Crowe movie. Thinking about it now, that was a fruitful tape! We got "Would?" for the movie, part of Sap and we got started on the Dirt, so the tune itself was a good song, but we were just turning to the height of our blackness.[1]
Release and reception
"Fear the Voices" was released as a single in 1999. "Fear the Voices" peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
