Jerry Cantrell: It’s Electric! Interview Part 1 | Apple Music

[@thomasche]

Finally Sean Kinney is getting the credit he deserves. The guy is an incredible musician.

[@jorgjorg7610]

I screamed out "Sean Kinney is a God" several times during the silence when AIC hit up ACL Live... Cantrell replied "I'm on board with that."

[@donnafranklin5480]

Yess..🤘😎

[@VikoTheBassist]

It’s also underrated how funny he is.

[@zacharycollins6548]

At Harrison... I was at that show. I remember that.

[@erinweatherly6539]

I’ve always said the intro drum part to No Excuses is one of the greatest moments in music

[@michaeldesmond7308]

Lars is great at this

[@johnthelesserofthethirdoft863]

Sure is. Because he asks leading questions and doesn't interrupt. Allow the person to talk. The questions will come from their stories

[@hazor777]

Ha! I was gonna say the same thing

[@fl0nk11]

It blows my mind. When I think of people who love to hear themselves talk, he's at the top of the list. I NEVER would've thought he'd be so good at interviewing.

[@fl0nk11]

@joelabo Either you are not familiar with Lars, or you're such a fanboy you can't bring yourself to admit what everyone else knows. Nobody needs to know Lars personally to be aware of the fact that he has always constantly had egotistical diarrhea of the mouth.

[@rightcoast7049]

Jerry's laugh is so contagious. One of my favorite musicians, and people, of all time.

[@mojorisin7371]

Whether Lars is pretentious or not he is the ultimate communicator and a huge reason Metallica became as big as it has. This shows a little piece of that, he knows how to reach people and his ideas are are always a safe bet hence his success all these years, what he normally touches turns to gold.

[@bk9351]

I love Jerry Cantrell what a down to earth person and national treasure for sure. Wish Alice in Chains the best hope to see you in concert soon.

[@daniellllll45419]

Lars personality is one of the biggest reasons of Metallica success despite the other guys and of course their great musical legacy . He is a very good business guy and smart . I´m sure he did very well in the early years opening new doors to the band , social skills .

[@karolkozak64]

Despite many ppl making fun of his drumming and the overall st.anger drum sound - I think he's the only drummer who plays metal who can actually lay down 'commercial drums patterns'. I can't even explain it but listening to some of the drums on old and newer Metallica records it gets me thinking - ok this guy knows how to compose drums for a song and it's one of the reasons MTV was supportive of playing metal on TV back in the days. I have yet to see another thrash band with that amount of success that Metallica has seen.

[@fixxxer7030]

@@karolkozak64 and no one ever will again.

[@Gratefulman1965]

After hearing this interview, I have to say that William hits like a founding member that nobody knew about. Set aside the Staley Duvall debate. Will really sets nicely in the Alice pocket, in regards to formula. The early dark stuff matures and becomes “Last of my kind”and “Red Giant” The fact that the new goal set by the band was to honor Layne, Will arrived and fit so perfectly into the evolutionary process of AIC. I personally refuse to nit pick over a group of musicians that have survived as much heartbreak as this band has. Love the new music and please continue with more of it.🎶

[@maryellestclare-zr2db]

Well if someone had asked me which metal musician would also be a talented and insightful interviewer, I never in a million years would have said Lars Ulrich. I'm a bit shocked at how good he is at this.

[@mat11trick]

If you're surprised by Lars doing a good job interviewing consider this; he's been friends with Jerry for almost 30 years and Lars knows the rockstar lifestyle.

[@Artstar2]

I like how Jerry used the term "bendy riffs" to characterize the signature Alice sound. I hadn't heard that term used before but it definitely applies to the songs he referenced.

[@nzajflynn]

Lars is good at this.

[@thomasche]

Absolutely 👍🏽

[@rumblefish9]

FINALLY! We get an interview with Cantrell. Fact: The "Friends Don't Let Friends Get Friends Haircuts" on Mike Inez's bass during the Unplugged show was a friendly diss at the Metallica guys because they were in the front row. This was after Load was released. Metallica also supported the rest of the Alice in Chains guys when they could no longer tour. They took Sean and Jerry with them on tour and Mike Inez was supposed to be a replacement for Jason.

[@caidema]

Mike inez actually helped bob rock record St Anger. He did production work with pro tools for bob. U can see him in a lot of the Jump in the Studio clips

[@Cugelclever]

Even so, Hetfield dissed Layne while onstage somewhere... It's on youtube if you look. The good part is he gets hit by a can soon after, lol.

[@Killstrike6660]

Mike Inez would have been awesome for Metallica, but he suits AIC better.

[@leventunver]

i also heard layne dissing metallica in a concert. i think all this feud started after layne was not able to tour anymore.

[@leventunver]

mike inez also plays intro of enter sandman at some point in unplugged concert.

The phrase you'll never hear about his drumming. He should become a full time radio host.

[@PhotonicCrystal1]

Excellent interview! Rainier Fog is an extremely cool song. Jerry looks and sounds wonderful also!

Sean got them all back together it was his idea to start it up again A.I.C for life ..good for Lars 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@beigejonny]

Who is the coolest musician of all time and why is it Jerry Cantrell?

[@jaygerlach6884]

I'd pay for a Lars podcast. He is definitely a skilled interviewer. Knows music and has a considerable network of people he could have conversations with on a podcast.

[@fatjesus2618]

This is how Lars created the greatest heavy band of all time he’s a great communicator. His drumming is irrelevant his ability to convey an idea and make someone feel it is priceless!!

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

Fat Jesus *Phat

[@vannacee26]

Also applicable to his style of drumming.

[@fatjesus2618]

People always try to say he sucks at drums and he may be a simple drummer but he doesn’t suck. As far as his style goes I guess playing simple beats goes a long way to the music of Metallica being so listenable. Just look at AC/DC

Lars is a great interviewer! I would love to see him interview more rock and metal musicians!

[@vannacee26]

Is this the first interview you've seen Lars do from his radio show/podcast? He's been talking with different musicians each week for nearly two years now. And he is really good at it. His show is through Apple.

[@lloydsunset]

It’s crazy that William wrote “so far under” it sounds like it could have been on Dirt

[@WackorMiki]

Jerry Cantrell is one of the reasons I stayed on the rock track, and it started decades ago. About Lars, you can see a lot of BS about the guy on the net but think about it for a moment: if he was really such a difficult person as he is often pictured online, how the hell could he be a good friend of such a hyper cool guy like Jerry?

[@ryanernst4254]

That’s the song that sounds most like old AIC to me. Was surprised to hear William wrote it. Pretty cool.

[@jacquelynwhittaker1536]

He's worthy on the merit of his pipes alone....

[@MLCrow]

Yeah but William wrote (or co-wrote) just very few AIC songs....only: Last of my Kind (co-written with Jerry), A Looking in View (co-written with all members), Phantom Limb (co-written with all members), Never Fade (co-written with Jerry) and So Far Under (the only song written entirely by William)

[@nickandrino8386]

Now all these AIC fans can stop talking Haraka. Jerry became friends with Lars and James. Layne was always elsewhere. Layne wasn't the only member of AIC, Jerry was also the reason for their success. Jerry and Lay especially voices together were magic and Jerry and DuVall are magic.

[@dan.j.boydzkreationz]

Ask Lars about Metallica mocking Layne's addiction every night on their tour in 94.

[@Highrollinhunter]

That was friendly dissing

[@KD_1989]

They did the same with Nirvana and Kurt. I think there was a little bit of jealousy there with Metallica and the grunge bands.

[@Me-gh4qu]

Lars stop drumming because you sir have found your calling

[@jomoanderson5596]

Not a lot of flare on drums on this or the last two LP's but they can't stand behind 'Alice In Chains' w/o Sean. Jerry's guitar work is the carrot after Layne's passing.

This is what I think of when I think of Southerners, guys like Jerry Cantrell. P.S. I an ain't being Bias when I say this (as I'm a Jew from New York) but quite a large percentage of people in the South are way more ahead of the times than the rest of North America (an I say North America for a reason, as Canadian's are...well Canadian's, an Mexican's are...well...their Mexican's).

[@mat11trick]

Well that's kind of you to say.

[@buuzzsawtouchedme194]

+mat11trick , The stereotype's of people in the South are way over exaggerated, an the ironic thing is I don't hate people who believe the stereotypes, as if you rarely communicate with Southerners (or have never) an the Media is all you have to go by, then it's understandable. I should also add, that stereotypes go both ways, an there are a large percentage of people in the South who view Blacks as criminals, as all they have to go by is the Media, an a huge percentage assume that all Blacks are a member of some sort of gang. P.S. My solution is education, if we can teach kids in School's about why we should tolerate minority groups, then why not teach them negative stereotypes too? P.P.S. Sorry if I'm rambling, the TLDR part is *STEREOTYPES BAD*
