jerry understands that die hard alice fans are always hungry of riff and heavy guitar tones like this, and he fucking always deliver one way or another. RIFF LORD!!!!
I saw AIC 3 days ago playing in maquinaria fest in my country for the first time ever. And as a huge fan of Alice and Layne, i must say that Duvall voice its amazing, truly powerful, its kinda gay and shit but whatever is his style and i respect that. Cantrell is god and the rest of the band was amazing too, sean its one of my favorite drummers
If you listen VERY carefully at the very beginning of this song, you could hear the intro acoustic guitar riff to "Thanks Anyway" from Jerry Cantrell's solo album Degradation Trip. I'm surprised no one noticed that.
Even without Layne, and damn was he a major force in not only AIC, but among all the frontmen of his time, AIC can still pull off new shit. That's a testament to their will to keep their standards up and keep moving.
DuVall isn't Layne. He wasn't meant to be Layne. He was meant to be DuVall. Separate people, separate styles. Both can/could fucking kill it on the mic, and that's not even mentioning the talented Cantrell tossing his hat in. Take it at face value and knock off the shit, yeah?
well i'm gonna listen to more of Jerry's solo stuff. I am truly astounded to see how many people love this song, as I am a huge AIC fan but do not like the idea of Duvall singing lead. I'm glad to see they still have so many active supporters though. It's like Korn was one of my all time favorite bands, head left and the drummer left, and i hated them for 2 or 3 albums. it was only rescently i realized Korn 3 was a good cd, and i liked it. Maybe its just me... I am weird with what i can accept.
I mean it's the most active back up vocal lines of any band. They could switch whos singing lead/rhythm and no one would even know. Except me, when i saw Duvall singing lead. What my eyes saw couldn't match what my ears heard. I would support them continuing the efforts of AIC, I want Jerry lead singing as he should though. He is the leader of this band. It is a rare occasion for leader to not be lead singer (e.g. pete townshend and the who). Jerry can/ should be the KING of this. he deserves it
I just hope their next cd Jerry is lead singer like he should be. I know he can play lead guitar and lead sing at the same time, we have all seen him do it. That's part of what made me accept their return, was the fact that he was "single handedly" bringing back AIC. Duvall just disappointed me mainly because it means it's not Jerry... Jerry is who I imagined lead singing. given there probably less than 60 seconds of music where Duvall sings alone on the whole cd... i guess thats a relief for me
I'm glad the album was made. Black gives way to blue is both a great album/song dedicated to Layne. There's no "abomination" here like some of you may think i think. I love AIC, and wish them the best. I don't like Duvall, so I will do my best to ignore the fact he's there or lie to myself and say it's Jerry like i used to. Whatever works. Just when I think of Duvall lead singing, it makes me disturbed. I don't like that thought at all... Honestly though, i hope they make a different cd now.
I never said anything about black people not being as good as white people. I said I don't think Duvall, a black person, works well for AIC. When you hear something, you imagine whos singing it. I did not picture Duvall. Now that I know, I don't like it. That doesn't make me racist. I didn't call anyone a n*****. If the Beatles reunited after John Lennon's death with a black person, people would be PISSED. only difference is the beatles broke up well before lennon died.
Well I still can't get over Duvall, no good in my book. I am TRULY surprised that even half of you ACCEPT this, nevermind like it. But idk, whatever. At least Duvall is alive, unlike Layne and Mike Starr. It's too bad such geniuses can be such retards and failures. They band, the legacey, the music and the message all were a success and will live on. Unfortunately there's nothing respectable about what Layne did to himself. It's such a shame. Im tired of hearing AIC w/out the real deal.
i love the album, singer is excellent, but knock the shit off if a rap audience saw white dude replace a black rapper you could expect some resistance
Finding out William is black changes your opinion? Stupid. Proved your racist. I think he did fucking awesome for Alice in Chains on this album. I don't give a fuck if he's black, white, Mexican, Japanese, who the fuck cares? He did great. AIC4LIFE :)
Has anyone heard of the band "Comes with the fall" It's William Duvall's band before he as in Alice in Chains. They're not too bad, they have a few songs on you tube.
I know i can't change anything though. I respect their decision. I respect those who like it. This was my fav new AIC song, until i found out the truth. Anyway, all i mean is that if John Lennon sang a damn Ray Charles song it would SOUND WEIRD. Black people naturally have different sounding vocals than white people. Hands down case closed. I guess it adds a new sound to it though. If i ever do get over/accept this, it will take years. I dont think i can.....
@skylermeany shut up bitch and listen to the music. duvall is black so wat? he is a great singer and has done his job very well. layne is dead get over it u pussy
I can't believe more people don't hate this guy. Just because demi-gods like someone doesn't mean i have to. I miss Layne. Wish this was just AIC three piece without DuVall. That DuVall guy should be doing something on his own maybe, but not taking the place of Layne. Pffft. Not to be racist again, but in itself, Layne was white. People get pissed when white people cover B.B.King but not when black people sing white people vocals.
I liked it when I imagined Jerry Cantrell singing. Now that I know the truth I'm disgusted. It's not because he's black, but that certainly doesn't help his cause. I just wish it was Jerry Cantrell singing :( . I don't think DuVall should have ever been let into the band. Obviously some people feel differently. I feel deceived since DuVall is portrayed as "Back up vocalist" in the check my brain music video, that is false advertising.
Well i used to love this song until i realized that their "back up" black singer is singing lead on this. I hate it now, and now it sounds like shit to me. Jerry.... wtf. dont let anybody lead sing but u man. Other dude blows. seriously. I can't believe that fuckin new guy is the singer in this song... i am disgusted and I am done listening to "new" alice in chains officially. Thanks For ruining this song for me DuVall. Wish it was jerry like thought. this WAS my favorite song on their new cd.
@skylermeany Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Wonder are black. Slash is part black. If you can't listen to great music because of the singer's race, then fuck off. Bastard.
what a magnificent song this is. duvall is a fine fine singer and a worthy successor to staley. he is the right kind of vocalist for alice in chains, but he is his own man and does not attempt to copy staley. are people SERIOUSLY complaining about him? ridiculous. this is a mighty album - their best since "dirt" - and it shows bands half their age what rocking hard means. jerry cantrell is one of the most underrated guitarists and songwriters of the last twenty years, in my opinion.
Previous singer was great, yet 50% of the effort was Mr Cantrell in the Chorus , so yes he will be missed , yet AIC was 80% without him, so move on, embrace and enjoy, they are still making great music , not like Soundgarden that just came back together and not quite making up to what was expected, AIC is at least are making justice to a legacy of a great band...
This song reminds me of when I left The Jedi Order. After years of service to them I realized they they had become corrupt , arrogant and full of false promises. And I wanted out. The Sith immediately tried to "recruit" me. But their feeble attempt at persuasion was laughable. They're just a bunch of blind slaves serving one man. I chose to serve myself. Not the light side , not the dark side. My own side. I then became a one man kill squad. An assassin. Just me , my lightsabers and my ship.
Saying AiC is only Jerry is pretty misleading. What about Man in the Box? Angry Chair? Some of AiC biggest hits and darkest songs were written by Layne. I don't care if Jerry wrote more hits; that doens't mean he was AiC and Layne wasn't. And Jerry solo albums don't stand up to AiC by any stretch of the imagination. Why? Because Layne's voice was way more versatile and interesting. That's why this is my top song off the new album - Duvall's voice is way more dynamic than Jerry's.
@aggiebem I agree. Layne wrote very brooding, sinister songs like Again, Nutshell, Frogs, I Stay Away, Rotten Apple, Rain When I Die, Junkhead, Sickman, Hate to Feel, etc. and the ones he did with Mad Season. Cantrell's solo stuff is good but compared to his Alice material, it doesn't even come close. He sings well but he's a better songwriter and guitarist, which is why Alice hired DuVall instead of staying as a three piece band.
@aggiebem just in case you forgot, jerry is not the lead vocalist, he is the guitar player, who isnt just a guitar player but in my opinion this band would never have existed without cantrell. the guy no doubt is the main force brhind the band, he can always get someone to sing for alice and he writes the fucking songs as alice in chains, take this one for example, do you think if layne was alive can still write heavy shit like this? i loved layne, of course he sung better than cantrell.
@jedsebastian Of course Jerry's not the lead vocalist and of course he's the driving force behind AiC. But most of the album's mixed with his voice up front, not Duvall's, which sounds more to me like a Jerry solo album, not AiC. So I'd like to hear more songs like this, with Duvall up front. I still like the album and AiC is my favorite band, but Jerry up front sounds more like solo Jerry to me, not AiC. Know what I mean? And Duvall's got a killer voice and range.
@aggiebem I agree. I've hypothesized Cantrell put himself upfront for the majority of the album so older Alice fans could warm up to DuVall (aka "the new guy"). DuVall is obviously the better singer, but long time fans and/or Layne apologists would criticize Alice for shoving DuVall down their throats and just letting him sing lead on everything. Now more people want DuVall up front for the next album in the role that Layne had on their previous albums because he performed so well.
you know up until this cd came out, I always said the best band of all time that HAD to replace their lead singer was ACDC.
Not anymore, its clearly AIC now. May Staley RIP, but DuVall is carrying the torch like a mad man.
and don't get me wrong, I'm a recovering addict who relates to AIC's entire catalog....and part of addiction is death. Layne was the personification of an addicts death, and through him, and DuVall, AIC's legacy lives on
@SuiTobi Nah, it's just an opinion. That's why I put that part in parenthesis. I've gotten to where I expect people to hate in response to what they disagree with. It comes with the territory here on YouTube. Actually, I'm beginning to think people don't really know what a troll is, as much as they throw the word around. Disagreeing with an opinion doesn't make it trolling.
But yeah, I see why you thought that. Glad I could take this moment to clarify myself.
@DarthMohammed Actually I didn't think that, clearly it was your own opinion, but it's as much trolling as anything else, considering you only wrote that comment to get replies. Sure you think you're all intelligent now, since you got your time to "clarify yourself", but seems like I trolled you.
@SuiTobi No, I didn't write that to get replies. I wrote that to show my expectations... to make a prediction.
I'm not gonna hold back an opinion just because I think it may upset people. But I'm not trying to start a fight, either. I gave my opinion of this album and I responded to those praising Layne, with my disagreement and criticism.
If you continue to debate the intention of my post, you must think you can read minds. Of course, we know you can't.
@SuiTobi Thanks! Your opinion is greatly appreciated.
Oh, btw... do you have any opinions of this song, this album, the new singer, or anything actually relevant to Alice In Chains? That would be awesome!
@DarthMohammed It is completely true that Layne Stayley was a junkie, and while Jerry Cantrell did write a huge percentage of the lyrics and the music (guitar at least), saying Jerry Cantrell is AIC is a bit off the mark. If no one in the band ever wrote any part of any of the songs (i.e. highly unlikely), then Jerry is AIC. Even Trent Reznor (who is Nine Inch Nails) and Jimmy Gnecco (who is Ours) likely don't write every little bit without outside review. But I see your point.

'He manages to sound like Layne' is part of the problem. If were all honest Cantrell is AIC and he was blessed with pure luck to have Layne. Anyone who says otherwise is a Layne fan and not an AIC fan. AIC owner Cantrell picked DuVall but he's a copy cat killer that will never slice deep enough! I think Brand ID was more important
I wouldnt of have minded if Jerry Cantrell took over the vocals and made a new album.. He always had a sick voice as well.. As long as Jerry Cantrell is writing the riffs though its going to kick ass
@c0ommonsense I honestly don't get why people call AiC "grunge" from a musical standpoint. They had a (tangential) connection to the Seattle scene, but musically, they were always closer to Sabbath-style old school doom metal.
I know he could NEVER replace Layne, but as good as DuVall is, it just doesn't feel like AIC with him leading the vocals. Jerry should just take over. It at least feels like AIC when he's leading.
DuVall isn't a replacement. He's a singer. He doesn't sound like Layne in any way and frankly...he shouldn't try to. He's a damn good singer the way he is.
"all guys who ditch William DuVall should just shut it and be happy." Dude layy off the H long enough to write a sentence that makes sense Ditch William????? u mean Diss William??? dude seriously
@JamesTBedell Yeah, when I knew that Alice in Chains would return with a new singer, I thought "WTF? They'll try to replace Layne? That can't work". When I saw a picture of DuVall, I thought "Is he a Lenny Kravitz's or Phil Lynott's wannabe?". But I really liked this new album and changed my mind about him. I can only say I'm happy that the band is back, and I' want to see them live now. This new album is not as good as Facelift or Dirt, but is better than AIC, in my opinion.
Jerry isn't the only original member, and Layne started singing with them because he didn't want them to have a shitty singer, and just happened to love it, on that note they now have a new singer that isn't shitty so I would be happy if I was him.
Hahaha I love that too...I think it means he goes to sleep each night not knowing his future...in the music business, one's future is uncertain...many bands hardly make any money and live day-to-day. Perhaps that sense of desire to play music regardless of money is what makes WIlliam (and AIC) the last of their kinds.
@trance01 No way. Layne was a HUGE part of the band, but Jerry is the brains behind alice in chains. He wrote most of the material, he was lead guitar, and vocals. as long as Jerry's still in the band, they should keep the name. Jerry is alice in chains
@HaroldTheDog it's equal check the song credits..you can't dicredit the most influential oice of the 90's...if you don't believe me ask your favorite current hard rock/metal bands.
why cant all of you see that every song, new and old, by alice in chains is amazing. and to everyone who dislikes the new alice in chains, just remember, DuVall isn't Layne. nor is he trying to be. Layne was no less than a legend. and DuVall has done great too. long live alice in chains!
This is a hardcore jam! Man, this song fucking rocks! It's nice to hear some hard shit! Bout time we get some good music and none of that shit the kids are listening to now days! Thank Jerry and Will. This is a bas assed song!
I honestly don't understand these people. If a band changes it's style they complain because they want the same style. But if they don't they complain that their albums are all the same and they never change! MAKE UP YOUR MINDS. You people that criticize the new AIC clearly havent heard music nowadays, that is somethin worth criticizing. Be happy that AIC is still tryin to do good music; this is a kick ass album, SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND ENJOY GOOD MUSIC DANMIT!
all guys who ditch William DuVall should just shut it and be happy. Of Course he's not Layne, no one is Layne! Everyone was sad when he died but you know, you gotta move on. You people who criticize DuVall should be happy that AIC found him. He is great. He manages to sound like Layne and still have his own style. Of course he doesn't have Layne's power and energy, but it's pretty fuckin close. There is no better replacement. If you guys don't like him, then go listen to somethin else.
@SLASHdaROCKER There is alot of better replacements than him. Look up the video where Duvall sings Junkhead. The band is perfect but duvall just cant pull it off, im not saying he sucks at all but he cant pull it off.
@meshuggah6pantera well, if you think there was someone who could have puled it off, then tell me, cos I think DuVall is great, even if he can't do everything Layne can.
@SLASHdaROCKER There is Chris Cornell, I dont personally like him but he is better. and the guy from this. the singer from thread..theres lots. i know its not gonna change but since you asked
@meshuggah6pantera yeah, I don't like him either, but I admit he is a very good singer; but I don't think he would fit AIC. They are more dark, and DuVall has a dark vibe to him.
@meshuggah6pantera No one can replace Layne. NO ONE. I agree with u, Cornell has a better voice by far. but Layne had a very unique voice that not even chris could replace
@SLASHdaROCKER Thankyou for posting this!...we all loved Layne.. but REAL fans like us are really happy to see the legacy..carried on .. I think the new guy is very brave, has a great voioce and gives his "OWN"..twist to the band . I still feel an A*I*C* vibe..... and it feels good ... R.I.P. and respect to Layney...
@SLASHdaROCKER We should be happy that AIC found him. "he manages to sound like Layne?"! ENOUGH! ... spark up another one mate while i slipddiymadingdangly ma way to SLASH da ROCKER
@SLASHdaROCKER 'Of Course he's not Layne, no one is Layne!' but you then say 'He sounds like Layne' as if its a good thing! THAT'S THE POINT ya fkn numb nut! Its not karaoke.. Cantrell didn't have the balls to re-brand AIC with a new style. He dished Layne's legacy by hiring someone who sounds like him. HOW fucking disrespectful is that. 'There is no better replacement' YES there is donut. ANYONE who does NOT sound like Layne. D O Y O U C O M P R E H E N D?
@SLASHdaROCKER I agree but look at him as the beginning of a new era for AIC. He has a very good voice for the genre, and I think its better that he doesn't sound like layne. Layne's era of AIC will never be forgotten but its over. Black gives way to blue is a damn good album, and besides look at AC/DC for example. They started a new era with brian johnson after bon scott died. Back in black was the beginning of a new era for AC/DC. The memory of layne is not forgotten.
big time AIC fan and have been for years and I think the album is great..I can sit here and listen to the entire album without skipping a song b/c they all kick ass..
Some of you need to get your hearing checked if you actually think that Jerry can sing better than Will. How about this. Why don't you guys go listen to degradation trip and Will's old band comes with the fall where they both sing by themselves and tell me who is better. Now I'm not bashing on Jerry, cause I do think he is a great singer but when comparing with Duvall there is no competition. Jerry is great for singing low harmonies and acoustic songs like your decision.
@plsublockhtwn4life Nobody can imitate Layne. However Jerry's voice has still always been aparrt of the AIC sound. People freak out about how good Duvall is.
"OMG Just like Layne!!"
When actually you hearing Cantrell's voice. and Cantrell's voice you can hear on every AIC record since 1991.
i really wish, just for like a few songs off this album that people would stop comparing duvall to staley. duvall is an amazing vocalist. forget about staley for like 6 minutes and listen to this song. then finally people can say "Duvall is awesome" without adding "but Staley was better." im not bashing people who do like layne more, i can get that, but realize that his death changed the band. for good. id really like to see this guy get ALL the props he deserves without some bein given to layne
@banannaphone93 I bet if people heard this first and then heard the classic stuff that it would be totally different.I love the classic stuff but this album is amazing.Plus unlike Layne, Will actually WANTS to be in the band.I'm not bashing Layne but it's pretty obvious that he didn't care about the band in his last interview
@ColtinNotChicken I think that you are so right about that. I mean ,not to bash Layne, but he was profoundly addicted to drugs and that is no life that anyone wants to live, so @ one point he could have just given up on this life and just left his misery behind. His life was a story and he may have wanted to end it, the band was a major detail in the sotry, but a detail nonetheless.
I'm not a big fan of this album, or at least the way it's mixed... way too loud which seems to make the sound muddy. But I do like their new singer, he manages to sound sorta like Layne while also having his own unique feel. I think this is the start of an awesome revival.
layne will never be replaced, and what i like about this album is that they didnt try to cops laynes vocal style with william layne was one of a kind and may he rest in peace but he left us with so much amazing music to keep us alive, i know for me personally alot of his music helped me through tough situations in life, that being said....everyones gotta move on eventually aic cant dwell on it

what a magnificent song this is. duvall is a fine fine singer and a worthy successor to staley. he is the right kind of vocalist for alice in chains, but he is his own man and does not attempt to copy staley. are people SERIOUSLY complaining about him? ridiculous. this is a mighty album - their best since "dirt" - and it shows bands half their age what rocking hard means. jerry cantrell is one of the most underrated guitarists and songwriters of the last twenty years, in my opinion.

Previous singer was great, yet 50% of the effort was Mr Cantrell in the Chorus , so yes he will be missed , yet AIC was 80% without him, so move on, embrace and enjoy, they are still making great music , not like Soundgarden that just came back together and not quite making up to what was expected, AIC is at least are making justice to a legacy of a great band...

This song reminds me of when I left The Jedi Order. After years of service to them I realized they they had become corrupt , arrogant and full of false promises. And I wanted out. The Sith immediately tried to "recruit" me. But their feeble attempt at persuasion was laughable. They're just a bunch of blind slaves serving one man. I chose to serve myself. Not the light side , not the dark side. My own side. I then became a one man kill squad. An assassin. Just me , my lightsabers and my ship.

Saying AiC is only Jerry is pretty misleading. What about Man in the Box? Angry Chair? Some of AiC biggest hits and darkest songs were written by Layne. I don't care if Jerry wrote more hits; that doens't mean he was AiC and Layne wasn't. And Jerry solo albums don't stand up to AiC by any stretch of the imagination. Why? Because Layne's voice was way more versatile and interesting. That's why this is my top song off the new album - Duvall's voice is way more dynamic than Jerry's.
aggiebem 8 months ago
@aggiebem I agree. Layne wrote very brooding, sinister songs like Again, Nutshell, Frogs, I Stay Away, Rotten Apple, Rain When I Die, Junkhead, Sickman, Hate to Feel, etc. and the ones he did with Mad Season. Cantrell's solo stuff is good but compared to his Alice material, it doesn't even come close. He sings well but he's a better songwriter and guitarist, which is why Alice hired DuVall instead of staying as a three piece band.
SoulmaticBrother87 8 months ago
@aggiebem just in case you forgot, jerry is not the lead vocalist, he is the guitar player, who isnt just a guitar player but in my opinion this band would never have existed without cantrell. the guy no doubt is the main force brhind the band, he can always get someone to sing for alice and he writes the fucking songs as alice in chains, take this one for example, do you think if layne was alive can still write heavy shit like this? i loved layne, of course he sung better than cantrell.
jedsebastian 1 month ago
@jedsebastian Of course Jerry's not the lead vocalist and of course he's the driving force behind AiC. But most of the album's mixed with his voice up front, not Duvall's, which sounds more to me like a Jerry solo album, not AiC. So I'd like to hear more songs like this, with Duvall up front. I still like the album and AiC is my favorite band, but Jerry up front sounds more like solo Jerry to me, not AiC. Know what I mean? And Duvall's got a killer voice and range.
aggiebem 1 month ago
@aggiebem I agree. I've hypothesized Cantrell put himself upfront for the majority of the album so older Alice fans could warm up to DuVall (aka "the new guy"). DuVall is obviously the better singer, but long time fans and/or Layne apologists would criticize Alice for shoving DuVall down their throats and just letting him sing lead on everything. Now more people want DuVall up front for the next album in the role that Layne had on their previous albums because he performed so well.

@jedsebastian Exactly, like Tony Iommi is Sabbath. Without his (and Jerry's) riffs, you don't have the same music.

Not anymore, its clearly AIC now. May Staley RIP, but DuVall is carrying the torch like a mad man.
and don't get me wrong, I'm a recovering addict who relates to AIC's entire catalog....and part of addiction is death. Layne was the personification of an addicts death, and through him, and DuVall, AIC's legacy lives on

@SuiTobi Nah, it's just an opinion. That's why I put that part in parenthesis. I've gotten to where I expect people to hate in response to what they disagree with. It comes with the territory here on YouTube. Actually, I'm beginning to think people don't really know what a troll is, as much as they throw the word around. Disagreeing with an opinion doesn't make it trolling.

SuiTobi 9 months ago
@DarthMohammed It is completely true that Layne Stayley was a junkie, and while Jerry Cantrell did write a huge percentage of the lyrics and the music (guitar at least), saying Jerry Cantrell is AIC is a bit off the mark. If no one in the band ever wrote any part of any of the songs (i.e. highly unlikely), then Jerry is AIC. Even Trent Reznor (who is Nine Inch Nails) and Jimmy Gnecco (who is Ours) likely don't write every little bit without outside review. But I see your point.

'He manages to sound like Layne' is part of the problem. If were all honest Cantrell is AIC and he was blessed with pure luck to have Layne. Anyone who says otherwise is a Layne fan and not an AIC fan. AIC owner Cantrell picked DuVall but he's a copy cat killer that will never slice deep enough! I think Brand ID was more important

They started a new era with brian johnson after bon scott died. Back in black was the beginning of a new era for AC/DC. The memory of layne is not forgotten.
