No Excuses (Alice in Chains song)

"No Excuses" is a song by American rock band Alice in Chains. It was released as the lead single from their third studio EP, Jar of Flies (1994). Written by guitarist and co-lead vocalist Jerry Cantrell, the song was well received by music critics and was a charting success, becoming the first Alice in Chains song to reach No. 1 on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks chart, spending a total of 26 weeks on the chart.

"No Excuses" was included on the greatest hits albums Nothing Safe: Best of the Box (1999) and Greatest Hits (2001), as well as on the box set Music Bank (1999) and on the compilation album The Essential Alice in Chains (2006). Alice In Chains performed an acoustic version of "No Excuses" for its appearance on MTV Unplugged in 1996, which marked the last time they performed the song with Layne Staley, and that version was included on the band's Unplugged live album and home video release.
