Topics Include:
- Interview start – Will Jerry be down in Australia?
- I Want Blood, Jerry's new album, drops October 18, with a couple of tracks already streaming - pre-order vinyl editions of I Want Blood on jerrycantrell.com.
- That wall of vinyl from an old interview? Not Jerry's—just someone’s house they filmed in.

- Jerry’s been involved in vinyl reissues, like Black Gives Way to Blue, and more are on the way.
- Vinyl reissue plans of Self-Titled/Three-Legged Dog/Tripod album – 30th anniversary reissues

- “Boggy Depot” & “Degradation Trip” were created close together, as were “Brighten” and “I Want Blood”
- Is there a theme or through line for “I Want Blood”? What did he learn about himself from this album?
- Spoken-word versions of the songs specifically for the vinyl packages
- Rather than etchings on vinyl, he prefers to give fans music content.
- The spoken-word tracks were backed by music contributed by different musicians in his orbit - adds a unique flavour to the album.
- He still loves making albums – writes music and considers the format
- Other vinyl reissues – The Devil put Dinosaurs Here
- They’ve managed to keep track of most of their tapes and artwork, despite some industry losses over the years.
- Jerry confirmed that the self-titled album’s master tapes are safe, debunking rumours they were lost.
- What’s up with Alice In Chains LIVE, Unplugged, etc?
- When is a song for Alice in Chains and when is it a solo album track?
- After an album and tour cycle, Jerry often takes a break from playing guitar to recharge creatively.
- The next year – touring, solo shows, Alice In Chains dates, etc
- Interview wrap up
