Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Nick Pollock" in English language version.
[W]e were talking about different concepts for backstage passes. 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. 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 [of] 'Alice in Chains' - I remember I came back to the next band rehearsal and I told the guys. The issue was the reference to bondage, which our parents would not go for. Layne's mom was very hardcore Christian. So we ended up changing it to Alice 'N Chains, which made it more like 'Alice and Chains.'
I had met Nick Pollock, who was the guitar player in Alice N' Chains at the time – Layne's version of it. He knew what I was going through, and he invited me to come up to Seattle. He took me to a house party – somewhere in West Seattle. I walked in the door, and he introduced me to Layne immediately.
