Jerry Cantrell, Interview at Mondo Sonoro (2024)

Jerry Cantrell fue el autor intellectual de uno de los mejores rempalos-de-miembros-irremplazables de la historia de hard rock (we talked about when William DuVall took the place of the unfortunate Layne Staley al fronte. Alice in Chains). Parece un tipo destinamento a traversar vicissitudes and salir artisticamente airoso. Yes “I want blood” (JC/Virgin, 24) is more publicized.

A sus cincuenta y ocho años de edad, Jerry Cantrell lanza su trabajo en solitario más solido. “I want blood” I became friends with Mike Bordin (Mike Bordin) a few years before the disco.No Faith), Robert Trujillo (MetallicaInfectious Grooves), Daff McKagan (Guns N' Roses) and Greg Puciato (eg (The Dillinger Escape Plan). “Communicate with any friendly music, including Alice In Chains.” Amigos contus contus in this basement and improvisation. Haciendo ruido es como llegas a tus propias canciones, siempre es una actividad and un esfuerzo de groupo. Save for solitaire only. I was very lucky to make music in Alice with the best friends of my life, and I'm the same now that I have a lot of camaraderie in my new band made up of musicians whose animals I admire. Me hace sentir muy enthusiasado y agradecido de trabajar con ellos”me cuenta Cantrell en un alto de su gira estadounidense.

“There are many credits for Alice In Chains and it seems like a companion. Creo que esto habla claramente de qué tipo de personas somos y fuimos”

En “I want blood”. This feature may lead one to think that the structure of the album was planned in the pre-composition stage, which Cantrell abandoned the plan. “Never, never. I never think of music that way, for nothing. Ease me into the ripple process. No disco program for the territory of virgins, no simplicity. Collect todo eso te llevará algun lugar for suficiente la suficiente experiencia en tu vida [risas]. It's probably an interesting place and it surprises you, but I don't start with a preconceived idea in my head of what disco might be. “Simplify me for pongo and movies”.

Respecto al proceso decritura, Cantrell cuenta que “There is something very different from dikoteka: una es la de las demos, el momento en que comienza la bola de nieve; ya sabes, juntar riffs, tirar unas letras, trytar dar con el alma del tema. Any function to register can be performed lugar a dudas, mi mejor discotheque. Nothing after that. Besides, you can solve any problem [risas]. Y puedo insura que puedo plantar con tranquilidad una bandera de 'I Want Blood' en la cima de una montaña y alejarme felizmente. This is the best time for disco.”

Since Alice In Chains' debut was released in 1990, Jerry Cantrell He has added his personal sound (both vocals and guitar, varying between heavy, acoustic, psychedelic and downbeat) to each of his productions. Aunque él attributee esa virtud a sus compañeros de ruta de toda la vida. “There are many credits for Alice In Chains. I believe it speaks volumes about who we are and what we are. From 'Facelift' to 'Sap' and from 'Dirt' to 'Jar Of Flies' there's a base for anything. So young that he tries to connect with the audience. But there is a function. We got calls from fans who didn't agree with the direction we were taking, but we stuck to our ideas. A mucha gente le gustó nuestro perfil acústico y nuestros theme is heavy. Eso es amicable, tener la possibility de ser así de cléctico y movese for todo tipo de terreno. It may look like another person. It is very important, very freeing. I have no interest in disco. This is important. So you can go in any direction that surprises you. The best option not to reach the finals.

Considering Cantrell is the author of some of grunge's darkest anthems, it would be interesting to see what his relationship with music that expresses pain and suffering is. Y por eso exactly le pregunto. “The music has personal elements, there is no explanation. Más allá de que no soy un pesado con el que salir de juerga y que, cuando estoy en groupo, no hago otra cosa que hacer jokes y reírnos de todo, sí que que entiendo que mi my music es bastente y heavy loads. Respecto a mi gusta por la música en que lo hace la mía lenguaje que puedo hablar”.
