How could my child possibly choose a name like 'Alice N' Chains? For the first time in my life, I didn't have much of a conversation with him for about two weeks, because I was concerned, and also offended. I really feel strong about this.' He was adamant and I was adamant. You don't want to choose a name like that - it's going to push your female audience away. But when came home and said they were changing the name to Alice 'N Chains, I was not happy. I had a sense of humor about the name Sleze. However, Staley's mother Nancy McCallum has said she still did not approve of this at first: So we ended up changing it to Alice 'N Chains, which made it more like Alice and Chains. The issue was the reference to bondage, which our parents would not go for. And we were saying, 'Alice in Wonderland? How about this, how about that? Maybe.Alice in Chains? We could put her in bondage stuff!' I liked the ring 'Alice in Chains' - I remember I came back to the next band rehearsal and I told the guys. It would say, like, 'Sleze: The Welcome to Wonderland Tour.' That ended up turning into a discussion - we were talking about changing the band name. After his return, Bacolas says the band began to discuss changing their name to Alice in Chains due to a conversation he had with Russ Klatt, singer from Slaughterhouse Five:Į were talking about different concepts for backstage passes. Vocalist Layne Staley, guitarist Nick Pollock, bassist Johnny Bacolas, and drummer James Bergstrom began performing in what would become the last lineup of Sleze in 1986, when founding member Bacolas rejoined after a brief stint in another band called Ascendant and took up the bass slot for the first time originally he played guitar.
