Alice In Chains’ William DuVall discussed Weiland’s death in a September 2016 interview with Alternative Nation.
I was very sad to hear of his passing. I was a real fan of the work he did with Stone Temple Pilots especially, I think the sound of those records is just one of the best sounding catalogs to me in terms of ideas and production, and just imagination. They really have a very colorful and beautiful catalog. I’m especially a huge fan of the No. 4 album, that’s just me. When the news of Scott’s passing broke, I actually posted the song “Atlanta,” which is the last song on the No. 4 album, because it’s always been a favorite of mine, and I thought what he did on that was beautiful.
Of course it’s incidental that the song happens to be called “Atlanta,” and I have a lot of history in that town, and the song was as far as I know even recorded in Atlanta, because they did a lot of work at Southern Tracks. Brendan O’Brien used to work out of Southern Tracks quite a bit; some of my favorite records of the last 25 years were recorded in that studio, and with Brendan. I also am longtime friends with another engineer that worked on the No. 4 album, Russ Fowler. He made a bunch of records with me with Comes With The Fall, and other things that I’ve done. So there are just a lot of ties that bind, so I posted that song.
I thought Scott was really great. The first time I met him was probably 2002, I seem to recall [Jerry] Cantrell and I playing a gig in North Carolina, this is going back a ways, but if I remember we played some shows with Stone Temple Pilots, I know that. One of them was in I want to say Charlotte, and I remember it was very soon after the news of Layne Staley’s death broke, and it was also that night that I found out that my grandfather, who was ailing was in the hospital, was probably not going to make it, and I was extremely close to him. Cantrell and I went on stage that night with a lot of heavy stuff we were carrying, it was a very emotional show. I seem to remember meeting Scott Weiland after that; we did the typical pop over to the dressing room thing. He was very warm; everyone was feeling very pleasant that night. I remember he kind of opened his arms and was like, ‘William! It’s so nice to meet you!”
