February 8, 2014, 10 years ago
Gus Griesinger from Backstage Axxess spoke with ALICE IN CHAINS singer William DuVall recently at NAMM 2014 at the Warwick/Framus booth and talked about his relationship with the company. They also chat about how he grew into the band and the type of touring plans Alice In Chains has for 2014 and his upcoming side projects.
Alice In Chains recently announced the first leg of their 2014 headlining tour of North America, set to kick off April 25th at the Brady Theatre in Tulsa (itinerary below). It’ll be a busy year for the band, who are also playing a slew of international festivals, including Soundwave in Australia, the Singapore Rock Festival, Italy’s Rock in Roma, France’s Main Square Festival, the Sonisphere Festival (sharing the stage with METALLICA) in Switzerland, Warsaw and London, the Czech Republic’s Aerodrome Festival and Vienna’s Krieau Rocks.
In other words, they’re picking up where they left off in 2013, which saw them traveling the world on a sold-out tour that included dates in the US, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Mexico, the UK and Canada. The band (vocalist/guitarist Jerry Cantrell, vocalist/guitarist William DuVall, drummer Sean Kinney and bassist Mike Inez) is touring in support of Grammy-nominated album The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, which entered Billboard’s Top 200 chart at #2 and debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Alternative Albums Chart, Top Rock Albums Chart, Hard Rock Albums Chart and iTunes Rock Album Chart. The album’s first two singles, 'Stone' and 'Hollow', both hit #1 on the rock charts with their companion videos racking up close to 5 million combined YouTube views.
