There will be some Alice In Chains shows this year - that's a fact.

Everybody has disappointments in life, and we certainly had ours. I just want to continue living life. We're having a great time.
book celebrate confident fun good love memory music past people supported time
We're making it up as we go along. It's what we always did in the past. We're writing the book as we live it. We feel confident that we will have a good time and that it's something that will live up to the same level. It's an exploratory thing, and we're just having fun with it. We'd like to go out and play for the people that supported us and love the music as much as we have all these years. We want to celebrate what we did and the memory of our friend.
Every record, you've got more experiences to draw on as a writer and a musician.

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.

Success has a lot to do with luck, but it also involves a lot of real hard work. The thing about success is you really can't gauge things by album sales.
