ALICE IN CHAINS Interviewed By Holland's FaceCulture; Video Available
September 29, 2009Holland's FaceCulture recently conducted an interview with ALICE IN CHAINS members Sean Kinney and William DuVall. Watch the chat in five parts below.
ALICE IN CHAINS released its first all-new album in 14 years, titled "Black Gives Way To Blue", on Tuesday (September 29). Following its last, self-titled record in 1995, the once-mighty Seattle-based act went into a long period of inactivity, partially due to the drug problems of singer Layne Staley. Staley died in 2002, but it was another four years until the three remaining members of the band, guitarist Jerry Cantrell, bassist Mike Inez and drummer Sean Kinney, first regrouped for a benefit show and then officially returned with new frontman William DuVall.
Cantrell told The Pulse of Radio that with the completion of a new album — something he wasn't sure would ever happen — he thinks ALICE IN CHAINS is back to stay. "You know, the possibilities are limitless," he said. "The cool thing is, this band is alive, and we're alive. And we've had an amazing life. And we've lost some people along the way, and we've had to change, and we've had to dig within ourselves to answer some very serious questions about life. It's been a real meaningful journey, and we're really dedicated to going through the process, you know, and seeing what life has to offer."
ALICE IN CHAINS recruited pop legend Elton John to contribute piano to the CD's title track, which is written in tribute to Staley.
William DuVall had played with his own group, COMES WITH THE FALL, as well as in Jerry Cantrell's solo band, before joining up with ALICE IN CHAINS in 2006.
ALICE IN CHAINS will play two nights on the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" outdoor stage in Hollywood, starting Tuesday and continuing Wednesday (September 30).
