Alice In Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell has spoken. To whom? Rolling Stone, and they asked him something like, “Hey Jerry…so, how’s that new record coming along?” Progress is being made on the follow-up to 2009′s gold-certified Black Gives Way To Blue, which was brilliant no matter what you or your Fun Dip-loving friends think. “It’s Read More
