KB: I started playing guitar at the age of 9 and I have had original bands my entire life, up to the point that LA and the original scene died around 1997 or so.
Bobby/Drummer: i started around 1983,and I have done many original bands none any one cares about much,except for bagging on the fact I played with Chris(Roxy Dahl)Van Dahl for many years.........
(Editors Question: Dude, are you talking the almighty Cherry St.?)

BD: Lowest points...
1.Ken breaking his back because he wasnt taught to roll properly
2.Playing the shack
3.Not being able to play at Paladinos
5. If you had to pay tribute to someone else besides Alice in Chains, who would it be and why?
KB: Pink Floyd, because I have loved Pink Floyd since I was a kid. I heard Dark Side of The Moon and I was hooked. I wanted the job with, “Which ones Pink” when they replaced guitar player but they already had someone in mind. I was actually going to start a Pink Floyd tribute when I learned that WOP was already on the scene. I hate when guys start a band doing the same dam band that is already on the scene. Even in a tribute band you can be original if that makes since? Meaning, start a tribute to a fucking band that someone else isn’t already doing you idiot.
BD: Kiss,because they are my favorite band and because it would be cool to put the facepaint and the costumes on,and could lead to me becoming a member of Kiss for real(pun intended)

Danger Danger or Britny Fox = Neither one
Pearl Jam or Nirvana = Nirvana
Man in the Box or Rooster = Man in the Box

7. What is your favorite and least favorite Alice in Chains songs to play live and why?
KB: Them Bones is my favorite if I have to pick one. Why ? Because it rips from beginning to end and the solo is a lot of fun to play. It’s never boring.
I don’t have a least favorite that is in our set list but, if I have to pick one then, I guess maybe, Fear the Voices. Why ? Because it’s to 80’s and I don’t think it was one of the better Alice songs. It just doesn’t fit in some how. That’s just my opinion.
BD: I dig Junkhead the best,Man in the box is my least fav
8. What was the biggest crowd, and the biggest pay check Alice Unchained ever played for?
KB: We play to a packed house in San Diego every show. Never checked the numbers but the ultimate show was San Diego County Fair in front of 10 thousand people 2 years ago. As far as money goes ? I’d rather keep that to ourselves.
BD: I think we drew 3 people once at the Shack,and I never have seen any $ yet,Ken has been imbezzling
Sean Kinney with the guys!
9. Has any member, Ex. member, hired gun, roadie, old or new from the band Alice in Chains ever attended one of your shows? Or better yet, got up and jammed with you?
KB: No one from Alice in Chains has attended our shows to date, (that we know of). However, when I met Jerry Cantrell. The first thing he said to me was, are we playing in town soon? I would like to attend. Based on his schedule, it’s a wait and see kind a thing. We hope he is able to show up one day. That is with the Alice Unchained version. Before AUC, some of the guys in a band called SAP. Mike Inez attended shows and AIC were interested in Tein as a replacement for Layne. That is all a touchy subject and it was probably a weird thing for them to consider and more than likely so weird that this is why it never materialized. The other members were in a band called DIRT. SAP and DIRT were both tributes to Alice in Chains. They joined forces to become the best Alice in Chains Tribute possible. Were still working on it LOL. You can never be as good as the original.
BD: Inez comes by every so often,but not yet,maybe we suck to bad?
