Aside from performing a few shows, Alice In Chains never toured to support their self titled studio album as the band fell in to an extended hiatus following the release of the album. The lack of live performances fueled rumors that vocalist Layne Staley or other members of the band were abusing drugs. Guitarist Jerry Cantrell would explain what the experience was like:

"Very frustrating, but, we stuck it out. We rode the good times together and we stuck together through the hard times. We never stabbed each other in the back and spilled our guts and do that kind of bulls*** that you see happen a lot. It’s something I’m proud of, and like I said, we did it from an honest standpoint. No matter what it was about, we were a true band and a bunch of f****** great friends and that’s what I try to keep my head around anytime anything else comes up." - Cantrell, Degradation Trip, Michael Christopher, Pop Matters (Dec 26, 2002)
