people who dont like william duvall should eat shit, ur acting like this shit is about legacys and what not, it wud be retarded to think that layne wudnt want jerry to get pussy every night. listening to this they still earn that pussy easy as shit.
I love Layne and the old chains, but I love the new stuff too man. and honestly if Layne has sang for Black gives way to blue, same songs and all, I'm not sure if it would have been as good. These guys just write good music. RIP Layne, Mike.
Layne is dead people. just be happy that the band is still around. Most of you who bad mouth Du Vall probaly haven't seen them live with DU Vall. SO you have no room to talk
I don't really understand you people, shouldn't you be happy that AIC is alive again?
so Duvall isn't Staley what's the matter with that ? I like he's voice, he is giving Alice a new sound which is good .
Alice wasn't only Staley. So yeah I think that Sean and Jerry (I'm not talking of Mike cause he's not part of the original set ) did well to continue with the band's original name... and what a job they are doing, this new CD is awsome, of course it's not like jar of flies or dirt but ...
@DickGranite but, Layne Staley's voice makes these songs not William Duvall Mike admitted to seeing Staley the day of his death and saw he was unconscious so Mike could helped him (even though he was on drugs himself) I believe that AIC shouldn't keep William in the band he is good but he isnt good enough to replace someone as groundbreaking as Staley
Lets get one thing clear. Alice In Chains is not the same group with Duvall. They kept the name for sales, and interest/buzz purposes. You can't blame them for that. You can't blame Duvall for taking this great opportunity to join them. You can't blame him for not being Layne Staley, and BTW, the new album is awesome.
Scott Wieland would have been my first choice. But Will is cool with me. He can't sing all of the old stuff, but I think he really has proven himself with the new CD
Vejam bem antes de criticar... não se trata de um novo Laney Staley e sim do novo vocalista do Alice in Chains. Clássicos serão tocados sem dúvidas, e devem ser tocados, os fãs exigem, mas sobre o desempenho do William Durval, devemos conhecê-lo primeiro através do novo disco do Alice "Black Gives Way to Blue" para só então podermos avaliar como foi a volta do novo Alice in Chains.
well seeing mark lanegan is dead id say absolutely not.. i hope you knew that. anyways i was hoping for chris cornell. and he was out of soundgarden and i thot that would be so amazing. but apparently jerry said that he wouldn't be able to play on stage with cornell because they make each other laugh too much.
Duvall can sing but should not sing in this band. Jerry should take over vocals and due new material and dont sing the old songs. It may sound stupid but no one can sing like layne and they just ruin it. No one wants to hear Layne wannabes. Cant replace the real deal. At least with jerry were getting half.
Bullshit. There's plenty of Duvall in Chains videos on youtube and they all suck. What, is Duvall's talent so elusive it can't be captured on video? Gimme a break.
I don't need to defend my point. Alice in Chains > No Alice in Chains. I've seen them live twice as I said and there wasn't a disappointed person in the house. Anyone that dislikes him is just a whiney crying bitch. People complained about AC/DC... I'm sure they complained about Pink Floyd. I guess those bands should have just called it quits too, right? You haven't heard a single song from the new album or live... so until you do... just stop talking.
I'm sure gay jumping jacks look the same in person as they do in a video.
For every AC/DC, there's an INXS. Every case is unique. And regrouping with a different singer isn't my point of contention, anyway.. Alice, the band, has a lot left in the tank. I just want them to get a singer with a *cool*, powerful voice who doesn't dance on stage to songs about death and despair. Is that so much to ask for?
i totaly agree hes awful ppl defend him but its obviously only in it 4 the money i think jerry doesnt like him either cuz hes bitter towards layne 4 not pullin thru
William Duvall is actually a good singer...But not on this song. For that matter, I really don't like the way he sings ANY of ALice in Chains's classic songs. They really need to come out with NEW material. Or like many of you are saying, leave the name Alice in Chains in the past(RIP Layne) and reform as something else. I LOVED Alice In Chains in the 90s, and saw them live twice. There can never be that same vibe again; so that should be all the more reason for Jerry to re-evaluate this.
Layne was buried with the legacy of AIC. duvall make ur own material or jerry sing. but what ever happens they should change the name. layne we miss u
come on guys. duvall dont suck at all. i couldnt think of anyone who could fill laynes shoes better than this guy. dont get me wrong. there will never be another layne. hes my all time favorite. but william duvall fills in for him just fine i think. however i do think they should change the name of the band. lay alice in chains to rest along with layne.
Disgustin' ... oh my god... what the fuck is this?! - I don't care if they come back with the same name, or a new singer, i really don't.. but for Christ's sake - put someone who can sing, please... Duvall just ... just... can't sing this..
This rarely works.... think about it. Jerry, give this back to Lane.... really, it's his. Let it go.... I know who wrote it but fuck.... listen to this. I'll say it... he sux!
Ugh... Alice was set free the day Layne passed away. Duvall should stop messing with something so beautiful and come up with some new material at the very least
i mean, you cant go and sing all of laynes songs about his troubles with the same AIC w/o layne, i am not saying he sucks or should die, just make some new material, and a new name
Im youtubing all of duvalls performances with the band because i just found out AIC is touring oz and im excited that because i love them but its so sad its not layne there!
I remember back when...Bon Scott died. Everyone said AC/DC should just walk away...dont ruin a good thing etc.... Seems to have worked out well for them. I think Alice In Chains will be just fine. I miss Layne but William is awesome. Different (and yes not Layne) but thats the point. Who wants a Layne clone. I love the old. Love the new. Glad to see em back.
you love the new? there is no new yet. all they've done is play songs everyone loved to begin with. maybe we should wait and see how their new album with Duvall turns out before anointing him the savior of alice in chains...
Im not calling anyone a savoir. I simply am saying that I love hearing them live and if Layne cant be the guy singing, this guy is great. I like how he sings the old stuff and I cant wait to hear the new stuff once its out. I just want people to give the guy a fair shot. People bitch and its always "but its not layne....". Of course its not. Move on and give it a shot.
new singer is ok. everyone hates him simply because he isn't layne. well guess what everyone, layne is dead. i wish i had been born 15 years earlier so i could have seen him perform. he was one of the greatest singers ever, but jerry was really the heart of alice. he wrote this song all by himself. i'm glad jerry and the rest of the guys are carrying on for the fans. new alice is better than no alice.
I bet they did, Metallica did the same thing on that Seattle Binge and Purge during Jasons Newsteads solo James Hetfield left a empty spot on the stairs They were playing To Live Is To Die!! Check It out!!! Same thing!
Not bad at all...even the singer is ok...but I'm wondering if they really need this at all... they should just let it be (at least not to end up like Pearl Jam - making senceless music)...Layne was the heart... :(
The harder I try to like the new Alice sound; the more I just don't like it. This new harmonizing just doesn't cut it. Sorry AIC, I want to like it; but it's just not gonna happen.
Well, keep in mind that the sound quality here is very poor. From what I can hear, he actually sounds a little bit like Layne...like a poor man's Layne. Which I'd rather have than nothing!
@DickGranite They all did it....Just two didnt make it out. Thats the statistics for usage!
It's over now, this is nothing more than a Tribute/Cover band.
As it should be. RIP brothers.
