The opening single on the self titled Alice In Chains album titled "Grind" was written by guitarist Jerry Cantrell as a statement about the various rumors that surround the band. As Jerry himself explains in the liner notes of the band's Music Bank box set:

"That was pretty much at the height of publicity about canceled tours, heroin, amputations, everything, thus it was another "F*** YOU for saying something about my life" song. Any single rumor you can imagine, I've heard. I've been dead a few times, Layne's been dead countless times and lost limbs. I get on the phone every time I hear a new one, "Hey Layne, radio in New York says you lost two more fingers." "Oh really? Cool." I'd spoof The Six Million Dollar Man; "Since technology's moved on it only cost us 2 million to put Layne back together and we got better parts." - Cantrell, Liner notes, Music Bank box set. 1999.
