Alice In Chains singer/guitarist William DuVall recently did an interview with CBS Philly where he discussed opening for Guns N’ Roses and meeting Axl Rose.

“It’s an honor to be a part of this thing. It’s very rare that an American rock band can create this kind of spectacle in 2016. I mean playing stadiums in America night after night, there’s only a handful of bands regardless of genre that can do that. But for a real deal American hard rock band to create the level of excitement and interest, and do the kind of business they’re doing in American venues and stadiums, where it almost transcends rock music, and it almost transcends music, it almost becomes a sporting event or something. It’s amazing.”

He also discussed meeting Axl Rose at a party after GNR’s Chicago show.

“He was even joking about that when I was talking to him. He was just joking about how he’s not late any more, it’s really great.”

Alice In Chains employee The Baldy will soon be sitting on Jerry Cantrell’s angry chair, as the Alice In Chains legend is giving him his toilet for free. Read The Baldy’s blog below:

Jerry Cantrell offered to give me his toilet.

Writing sentences like that is exactly why I love my job so much.

On a related note, do you know what else I love about my job?

Perks.

I’m writing this from the Concierge Lounge on the 24th floor of the Ritz Carlton hotel.

What’s the concierge lounge?

It’s like the VIP section of an already exclusive club.

And let’s not kid ourselves.
