Even Alice in Chains

I was totally thrown back the other night at the Alice in Chains concert during a tribute film to Lane Staley. At one part of the video he says "Tonight guys you are really making our security work overtime right now" to an empty room. Sometimes as a musician you forget that everyone has to start somewhere and most of the time that is in an empty room. Most people who come to see us don't really realize how much we appreciate them coming to see us. We, as well as any band, feed off of that energy that the crowd gives us. We need that energy like a smack addict needs crack. Without it we might as well just stay home and play with ourselves...

I LOVE IT when people come out and dance, YELL, SCREAM, laugh, and just have a great time. That is what we are there for, to entertain you. If we aren't doing that we aren't doing our job.

Thanks to all of you who fill out rooms and make our security work overtime...
