Jerden got a call: Alice in Chains wanted to record two new songs with Layne for Music Bank , their upcoming box set. With the exception of Mike Inez, it would be a reunion of the band and production team that made Dirt six years earlier.

Because The Offspring had booked studio time and had all their gear set up, the only time Alice in Chains could come in was the weekend of August The Offspring agreed to let Alice in Chains use the studio.

The fact both bands were signed to Columbia Records probably helped make that happen. For Jerden, it was a no-brainer. Carlstrom was tired from working long hours and originally did not want to do it, until Jerden convinced him otherwise.

Jerden was under the impression the band was going to be there the entire weekend, based on what he heard from his manager who had talked to Susan. His plan was to record a song a day - basic tracks, overdubs and mixing. Because Carlstrom was burned out, Jerden was prepared to mix the songs himself. Trujillo was excited. Two years later, he had the opportunity to work with Alice in Chains.

This is it! When Trujillo found out, he told Cisneros they should get him a cake. She agreed, and gave him money to buy a cake and candles. Jerry, Sean and Mike arrived in the late morning or early afternoon. Sean got all his parts down in about four takes, Shoaf recalled. Mike recorded his bass parts, and then Jerry recorded his rhythm guitar parts and some overdubs.

Cisneros had her camera and took several photos during the session. He looked like an year-old man. There was a sense of excitement before Layne arrived.

Accounts vary as to the exact time he got there, but it was late - possibly as late as 3 A. When he finally arrived, the change in his physical appearance was striking even from his final live performances two years earlier, let alone from when Jerden, Carlstrom and Cisneros had last seen him. He had grown his hair down past his shoulders, in its natural brownish-blonde color. He was wearing a white cap and eyeglasses.

He had a dark grey shirt and a blue Dallas Cowboys jacket. He was wearing a necklace or chain that had what appeared to be a pipe hanging from the end. He was also carrying a black leather satchel. Trujillo had a similar reaction.
