"The Nona Tapes" is a 1995 mockumentary by the grunge band Alice in Chains. It also includes the video clip for "Grind", and outtake footage overdubbed with "Heaven Beside You". Because it is no longer for sale, original copies are considered a rarity and extremely hard to find.

Plot overview

"The Nona Tapes" follows aspiring journalist Nona Weisbaum (played by Jerry Cantrell) on her quest to "find some Seattle rock stars" for a breakthrough story. Throughout the video, Weisbaum scours the streets of Seattle and eventually finds and interviews all members of Alice in Chains (besides Cantrell). Entwined between Nona's segments, are interviews revealing the lives of the band members, and interview footage regarding the self titled album.
