jaychampionvinyl: not only that:
jaychampionvinyl: "Among the many highlights on Black Gives Way To Blue, the highly anticipated new album from ALICE IN CHAINS, is a special guest performance by Elton John. The two rock legends collaborated on the album's stunning title track, "Black Gives Way To Blue," a heart-stirring tribute to Alice In Chains' late lead singer Layne Staley. "
JeffreyBeaumont: !!!!
jaychampionvinyl: hahahahaha
JeffreyBeaumont: that was a joke right?
jaychampionvinyl: noooope. that is a press release I received just THIS morning
jaychampionvinyl: ""We were thinking about adding piano to the track and a friend suggested we call Elton," recalls guitarist/vocalist Jerry Cantrell. "I remember laughing and saying, 'Yeah, I’ll get right on that.' But I decided it was worth trying and wrote Elton an email explaining what that song means to us--that it's a real, raw openhearted song for Layne. We sent him the track and got a call shortly after saying he thought it was beautiful and that he wanted to play on it. We were blown away. Elton John is a huge influence on me as a songwriter and having him on that song is an amazing honor for us.""
JeffreyBeaumont: .....
JeffreyBeaumont: i'm not sure what that means

JeffreyBeaumont: man, this screaming trees track on the singles soundtrack
JeffreyBeaumont: so great
