Alice in Chains Singer William DuVall recently sat down with Kerrang! to talk about the songs that changed his life. DuVall cited “Man In The Box” as the first Alice In Chains song he ever heard, but also mentioned that “Would?” is probably his favorite song.
“I heard ‘Man In The Box’ first, but the song that really caught my attention was ‘Would?’. What struck me was the ‘Am I wrong?’ part at the end, which was such an unusual harmonic twist. Since then, I’ve definitely had a few ‘How did I get here?’ moments while performing those two songs.”
DuVall also named “Never Fade” as the song he is most proud of with Alice In Chains. DuVall said he and guitarist Jerry Cantrell worked on the song together and nailed it. It’s also worth noting that DuVall now has as many albums with Alice In Chains as the late, great singer Layne Staley.
“Jerry had the music and the chorus, but nothing else. We went into the studio in Seattle and I stayed up all night composing the rest. When it clicks, it really clicks. There’s no second guessing. The song isn’t just about (the musicians) we lost – it’s about the ones who remain in your life and how special that is.”
