I've always wondered what rock stars do with all of the awards they win. Gold records, platinum records, Grammy's...what do you do with them?

In November of last year, Typhoon Haiyan devastated parts of the Philippines, killing more than 6,000 people and causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage throughout Southeast Asia. Now, Alice In Chains are helping raise money for the typhoon victims.

Since the release of their fifth studio album ‘The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here’ in May, Alice in Chains have returned to the forefront as one of hard rock's leading forces. With two hit singles -- ‘Hollow’ and ‘Stone' -- already unleashed on the general public, AIC are sticking with the theme of enigmatic one word song titles for their next single, ‘Voices.’

Earlier this week Alice in Chains played Canada's Fox Fest in Burnaby, British Columbia, and invited a very special guest onstage. They were joined by Phil Staley, the father of the band's late vocalist Layne Staley. A video of his appearance can be seen above, while the band also posted a photo on their Instagram (see below).

Rock titans Alice in Chains recently teamed up with comedian and late night show host Jimmy Kimmel for a musical collaboration. It wasn't in the traditional sense of the live performances usually seen on the  ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ show though, as the tongue-in-cheek video above clearly demonstrates.

The Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards were held in the U.K. last night (June 17) and we've got the full list of winners to share with you.

In a time when "celebrities" like Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian dominate the headlines, I can't say I'm surprised that some great rock stars from the 1990's have gone forgotten. It is surprising, however, that many from the Millennial generation don't even realize some of the biggest rock stars of the 90's are actually dead.

It's story time with Jerry Cantrell! In a recent fascinating and hilarious interview, the Alice in Chains mastermind spoke about the essential art of the prank. When two bands have been touring together for some time, pranks are bound to happen, and Cantrell went into detail about an epic prank war between Alice in Chains and Van Halen from 1991.

With Alice in Chains and Jane's Addiction as headliners, the 2013 Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival tour promises to be one of the hardest-rocking shows of the summer. Ultimate Classic Rock is teaming up with Alice in Chains and our sister sites Loudwire and Diffuser.fm to offer a flyaway trip for two to Phoenix, Ariz. for the Sept. 13 stop, including an opportunity to meet Alice in Chains!
