Bands don't last. Bands don't last forever - it's a rarity when they do.

I'm just thankful to have a tour and work something I can focus on.

Rehearsals and this band are two words that don't really go together, kinda like Military Intelligence.

I didn't really know Kurt that well, but there was a guy I always admired. We didn't spend much time together, but the few times we did spend together, you know, were times I'll always remember. You know, he was a really sweet guy, and a really genuine soul, you know, and an incredibly talented artist.

That's always been a dream for me, to be able to collaborate and make music with the people that inspired you to make music.

I'm going to keep thinking about topping myself every time. I can say very confidently that Alice In Chains have done that on every record. It surprises me. I don't go in there expecting that, but I do go in there hoping for it.

There's not a word that describes us. We’re not alternative, metal or grunge - we’re not any of that. We’re just what we are.
