An Interview with Alice in Chains

I have to admit, I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I got on the phone with Jerry Cantrell, Mike Inez, and Sean Kinney of Alice in Chains (William DuVall was unfortunately unable to make it, but the guys had plenty of good things to say about their friend and fellow band member.) 

I wanted to ask them about Layne Staley, and reforming as a band, and adding a new member (William), and their new album (Black Gives Way to Blue), but I thought they might be tired of answering the same old interview questions.  Fortunately, however, conversation flowed freely, and the guys were a lot of fun to chat with.  They were genuine, honest, and engaging, and it shows.

What I found most eye-opening was their story of how Black Gives Way to Blue came into being (it wasn't planned!).  Listen to this story and more in the 17-minute interview, and check out song samples from the new album below.
