Usually someone will be a DJ and we’ll take different turns. Well, last week it was metal. It’s awesome. It’s a big slice of the pie for me. “
In 1996, Cantrell Recount Guitar world magazine which ALICE IN CHAIN was “part of the metal thing. We’re also a lot of different things. I’m not sure what the mix is, but there is definitely metal, blues, rock and roll, maybe a touch of punk. . the metal part will never leave us. And I never want it. “
Asked how many metal bands at the time were obsessed with making things heavy, at the expense of creativity or originality, Jerry said, “I’ve always been interested in bands that do big shit without sounding so obvious. There’s something about being strong and not flaunting it. You’re in a deadly lock, that you didn’t see it coming because it was so smooth and flirty you didn’t know it until his face was against the canvas. For me being heavy has nothing to do with number how many speakers you are blowing or how many decibels you are playing. “
