*[consequenceofsound.net] There was a lot of drama behind Foo Fighters’ fourth studio LP, One by One. Prior to its release in 2002, the band experienced plenty of behind-the-scenes turmoil whilst recording, and at one point they almost broke up. The album would go on to be recorded twice, with the original recordings – dubbed the Million Dollar Demo – scrapped and locked away. Now, as Grunge Report points out, rough recordings from the discarded release have popped online, including two full tracks “Have It All” and “Come Back”. For a peek into the album-that-was-but-here’s-a-different-recording-of-it, check out the tracks below.

*[FMQB.com] In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Jerry Cantrell says Alice In Chains is ready to start on the follow-up to their comeback album Black Gives Way To Blue. Work on the album had been delayed due to Cantrell having shoulder surgery. The guitarist/singer told Rolling Stone, "It‘s time to get to work and the material is really interesting, the body of work that we’ve done. It’ll be as different as any one of our records is to any other, and it’ll also be just as recognizable. It’s an Alice record, for sure."
He adds that the band will take their time, saying, "We’ve been very lucky to be able to kind of do things at our own pace for our entire career. And this is no exception."
Cantrell will be honored with the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award by MAP/MusiCares at a May 31 ceremony in Los Angeles. Alice In Chains will perform at the event along with Heart, Billy Idol, Duff McKagan, Mark Lanegan and a DJ set from Moby.
