I interviewed Sean Kinney, drummer of Alice in Chains, for a “making of” video for their song, ‘Your Decision.’ Said Kinney,
“They shoot everyone else first, but you, as the drummer, play longer. If they do individual shots, you have to be in the background, playing behind each guy for continuity. Then they do your closeups and while they spend an hour on the other guys, they shoot the drummer for 10 minutes. I am like, ‘Cool, great, let’s get out of here.’ You work five times harder, and you’re never in the video, unless you’re Tommy Lee with a spinning drum set.”

We also spoke about their Grammy nomination. Said Kinney,
“Layne told me one time when we lost, ‘We should’ve won that.’ So it’d be bittersweet. He thought it’d be funny if we won. Either way, it’s fine.”
