David De Sola

When I was growing up, i was obsessed with Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam and of course, Alice in Chains. I saw Alice in Chains opening up for Van Halen and I was immediately in awe. The drums and guitars, the melodies and soaring harmonies coupled with Layne's powerful voice left me mesmerized. The Seattle grunge scene was also one of the reasons why I picked up the guitar and started writing my own songs. Suffice to say, I am thrilled to welcome author David De Sola to the podcast and talk about his amazing book, Alice in Chains : The Untold Story. Be sure to click HERE to buy the book on Amazon and if you have no idea who Alice in Chains is, I highly suggest you go check out some of their music. I was immediately impressed by all the details David uncovers in this powerful story. David and I talk about what inspired him to write the book in the first place. We discuss the Seattle grunge scene and what the Seattle culture was like at the time this story took place. David shares stories about the band, Layne's battle with heroin addiction and I wonder if a music scene like grunge could ever exist again. David also shares some of the hurdles he faced writing a book despite not having support or involvement from the band.
