Jerry Cantrell

Joined Alice in Chains a couple years after Layne Staley founded the group---originally known as Alice N Chains---in the mid-1980s. Made a brief appearance as the character Jesus of CopyMat in Cameron Crowe's Jerry Maguire (1996). Contributed guitar work to Danzig's Blackacidevil (1996) and Metallica's Garage, Inc. (1998). Made his full-length solo debut with Boggy Depot (1998), featuring the rock-radio hit "Cut You In." Offered a tour of his Oklahoma ranch on an episode of MTV's Cribs. Dedicated his second solo album, Degradation Trip, to Staley, following the singer's death in 2002. Re-formed Alice in Chains in 2005, with singer William DuVall eventually being brought in as the band's official second vocalist.
