Band Name Origins:

  • Layne really loved S&M, and they originally wanted to call the band "Phallus in Chains", but they slightly modified the name so they wouldn't scare off record labels. Submitted by: Lisa Baldwin
  • They got their name from a cereal in the 80's called, "Apple Alice In Chocolate Chains". Of course, they dropped the snack references. How would anyone take them seriously with a name about food? By the way, the cereal was pretty good. Haven't seen it in the stores since I was 6 or 7. Bye. Submitted by: Jonko McStab VanKill
