Alice in Chains in the Studio Week 10 : 2009

[ghostwhiskey]

anyone else go listen to that sabbath song?

[webpunker]

Damn I dont know what the song at 1:00 is but if they wrote that then it better be on the next album! fucking badass.

[MagiskOsthyvel]

Song at 1:00 ? 

[spartan876]

0:28 damn right, Beatles poster ftw

Also, DuVall looks like a terrorist...

[ForeverLivesNirvana]

It's coming out of Will vocal. I didn't know that was me. haha

[Wesson4]

Oh man. Duvall is such a poser. Hard for me to see him leading this band now.

[kunkushun1]

@ggcoolg that was the most well said thing ive ever heard ,seriously lol.

[ImprobusVisio]

Love the new album, duvall sure knows how to pick those leather jackets, man they are cool.

[JayFromEarth]

I started out not liking him but after listening to the album I think he's awesome. Perfect fit for what AIC is writing these days.

[666Justinm]

1:23 is so funny LMAO

[666Justinm]

1:23-1:25 is funny LoL

[KanzaBoom]

I'm sorry for everyone who's bitching about the new guy. He's just become my favorite member of the band.

[iLikechevelle]

nice beard

[skycaptain141]

what gibson flying v was that

[les224]

that gibson flying v was a gibson flying v

[skycaptain141]

what model was it

[ScottieWallace]

yes!

[ScottieWallace]

1 minute clips SUCK especially when theres about a billion of them to watch!!! very fucking monotonous!

[MeowChef]

Private Hell is the only song you can hear on this video.

[teckogecko5]

whats the song starting at 0:59/1:00?

[luis2223]

good question i dont remember what song it is, i think that song is not included in the new album

[strust007]

i hope that song is included with the next album

[MeowChef]

Its not on the album.

[W78516]

Thanks Jeff. I will check it out.

[megadeth2thenwo]

hmmm ... awsome.

[joecvars]

I met William and he really is this cool and funny. I have also heard the new album and it kicks ass. I know for a fact that the Staley camp is totally jazzed about this also. Layne is gone and he was a gift but these brothers of his still have a lot to share and they are all very respectful of him and his family, so get on with it. If you are not a fan why do you bother posting, don't be a tool.

[W78516]

Willing to give this guy a chance. Alice in Chains has had enough bad luck. I hope it works out for them. They will have new songs. Which is good for them right now.

[Jeff2870]

You can go to Limewire and download A Looking In View, Check My Brain, and Your Decision right now. They kick balls.

[kevinAIC33]

is the "Your Decision" version like 1:24 mins.?

[Jeff2870]

No, it was like a 4 and a half minute tune that for some reason was removed from Limewire and my Library files. Apparently the only people who will have the song now are the ones who moved the file to another location. I guess that song was "leaked" or whatever and it seemed like Limewire scrambled like hell to get it off of their list. Don't quote me on that, though.

[Jeff2870]

BTW the song sounded more like an acoustic version of "Confusion" than anything else (to me, anyway).

[nikrat]

anyone know what song that solo is from?

[kevinAIC33]

Don't quote me on this, but I think it's "Your Decision." It sounds like it's kick ass song that though even if it's like 2 secs. long.

[nikrat]

Probably not since "Your Decision" is an acoustic song. Judging by the song previews, I'm thinking it might be from a song they cut from the album. None of the song previews had a tempo that sounded this fast.

[eljono1]

this record is gonna be bamf for sure. Heard the new song on the radio few days ago. i was like WOAH!

[PirOmAnO20]

I do not expect anything new from Cantrell

[RNRDOLL]

Duvall is fuckin hilarious

[RippinSkullz]

14:00 to 18:00 sounds like the hollow?

[Leukoencephalopathy]

at 1:00 it sounds a lot like evenflow

[DAVIDFLORESDOTCOM]

Dude their new album is going to PWN! Freakin' Duvall, wahahahahahaha

Jerry's beard looks so bamf

[StrongSoul1988]

bamf.. good word..

[klinkjason]

Keep the band change the name. It's that simple...

[Jeff2870]

Right, klinkjackass. Why don't you call Jerry and tell him that you were the one who was buds w/Layne, and YOU were the one who wrote 100% music & 85% lyrics, and YOU know what is best for AIC, not some chump who has poured his heart & soul & countless hours of blood, sweat, & tears into that band. Now, what instrument did you play for them? And why didn't you stop your best friend from using heroin? Shut up, you stupid fuck. Cantrell owns this fucking band, so deal with it, pickle-smoker.

[Jeff2870]

Oh yeah, klinkjackass....it's that simple.

[nirvanayop]

more hard rock and "Grungeless" ??? .... mmm ... anyway i like it.... William Duvall isn't a bad singer but... not like layne.... ell.. I love AIC!! years and years... They're BACK!!!

[19TOFY58]

RIP Layne..Respect...Welcome Duvall!!! time for chains to kick them asses again..

[deadviolets]

If you think this album will rival their previous greatness, you're basically saying Layne's role in their past success was insignificant.

[kyle8769]

I don't think it will rival Facelift/Sap/Dirt/Jar of Flies, but possibly their self titled CD

[Jeff2870]

Dickviolets: Just because people think this is good, does NOT take away a damn thing that Layne did w/these guys. It doesn't take any lustre off ANYTHING. This will turn a whole new crowd onto "old" AIC. Do you ever get tired of subjecting your anal elastic to huge manmeats? No? How sad....

[Darkjames78Original]

Hardly like they give a shit whether there's dumbfucks out there who don't want them to continue just because Layne is dead. Do you idiots honestly think Layne would have wanted their careers to end because he was dead? They have every fucking right to continue. WITH the name. 3/4 of the original line up is there, this is still AiC. DuVall has progressed a lot as a vocalist since joining Alice. This album will be great.

[devilcatgirl]

Funny how they don't give us even a little snippet of an actual, serious vocal track. I guess they don't want to scare people off too soon.

[MKJ2612]

If people were gonna get scared off it would have happened at all the live shows they've already played with DuVall (he killed, by the way). No, he's not Layne, no one could ever be. But Layne's gone. And AIC isn't. So why don't you have an open mind and see what happens rather than assuming it won't be good?

[GNR4livez]

Layne would want them to move on, and that little piece they played was fucking awesome! the songs gonna be a fucking hit.. Old AIC, and NEW AIc is badass for ever! deal with it!

[homerkid]

@6gldls9

really, DumbVall? What are we, like 12?

by the way, are you in a huge rock band like alice in chains? doubt it.

DumbVall is

[6gldls9]

DumbVall had nothing at all to do with them becomming huge and everything to do with them sucking from now on.

[homerkid]

how can you say they suck when you haven't even heard one of their new songs?

[6gldls9]

cuz DumbVall sucks in every one of these videos on youtube, including those with his own band. no reason to think he's gonna stop sucking on this album.

[krissimp]

if you guys dont like this then just dont listen... stop fckn crying bout it, u dont even know how the album is going to sound like!

[Nutshell1991]

No Alice Song started ever with riffs and a solo guitar. Was that duvall influence? WTF! change the name. I am a big fan of the band, the old band and there is no way I buy that new shit

[bews522a]

Dam That River?

[nikrat]

I'm pretty sure that excerpt was taken from the middle of the song, but if it wasn't, who gives a shit! Do you seriously think AIC want to do the same thing over and over again? These guys are ARTISTS! they try out new things and don't give a shit what you people think because they love what they do. I'm going to give it a chance.

[Spd42278]

No but Dickeye and Keeps the Light On from Boggy Depot both did ... the Jerry Cantrell influence. Remember him? Yeah, he's the guy that wrote most AIC songs.

[lyc4040]

what the hell is going on at 1:00??? that's not aic. that's duvall's shitty musical influence and it fucking sucks.

[d00kiebird]

Since when is AiC upbeat and accessible ?

I'm not feeling any soul in this music.

I hate to say it but this feels generic.

This is not Alice in Chains. : (

[nikrat]

Its a 17 second clip, how on earth can you get the vibe of a whole song from that???

[changoooo123]

he looks like a hobo

[1800TOOLROX]

Duval was so ripped

[69catatonic]

I've been sleeping for so long.....O.....now I hear...it's been years since it's been here..here comes the sun

[deadviolets]

Yeah, but that huge ass afro helps conceal his bald spot.

[X7NIRVANA7X]

if he got rid of that stupid afro then he wouldnt be that half bad looking

[ggcoolg]

How lame to be so married to an image of what you think someone should look like in a band - I guess everyone should have long hair, tattoos, wear black leather or otherwise fit your limited ways of thinking about what music is about - It's not about image...its about music - if you want stereotypical images, I suggest you go watch American Idol.

[Lemmywinx666]

@ggcoolg American Idol or start listening to sleazebands on Sunset! They all look, sound and fuck the same!

[lio311]

Duvall's image is so NOT alice in chains...

[Y2Jarlath]

who cares about image. its all about the music

[Jeff2870]

Hey alteregohatesme, I think that dude was talking to me and some other dude who cracked a joke about Layne getting Jerry's sister pregnant...I thought it was at least kinda funny....

[seanpq123]

I lost respect for Alice in Chains. It is fine that they all continue as a band with a new singer but they should at least change the band name. Carrying on with "alice in chians" which staley created that name is just fucking cheap. I guess money and media attention is more important to them than honoring what they had with Staley.

[Jeff2870]

Dude (seanpq123), you lost respect for AIC? Well...I lost respect for Layne Staley. And he put a MAJOR disrespect on his bandmates. I won't pretend like I know why he did it, or like I know exactly how that name thing went down (Layne was in Alice 'N' Chains...maybe he and Jerry and Sean ALL came up w/the " IN" instead of "N), and Jerry always gives Layne credit, respect, thanks, whenever he does interviews, so I don't get how this is "insulting" or "disrespectful" of them.

[snowblind1121]

wah wah wah

[RNRDOLL]

great more ignorant, elitist hard rock fans...get over it dude, layne is dead and the new shit is gonna fuckin cook!

When are you ever satisfied?!!!

[BLDMLN1007]

Id like to know some of the ages you commentors are.

[blazdone]

i can't wait to get my hands on this album

[DaddyNuttStudios]

Did Jerry or Layne have a sister? Get this, what if Layne banged Jerry's sister, or Jerry banged Layne's sister, then when she had a baby, there would be the guitar skills of Jerry and the vocal skills of Layne in the baby. It's brilliant!

[Jeff2870]

Yeah, but if Layne banged her his chromosomes were like....in orbit most of the time. The kid would have been an excellent musician, but it probably would have had 3 heads and a foot growing from it's right titty....that H is a motherfucker, man....

[nenshoukun]

that wouldnt mean it was the coolest baby ever though

[LincolnFB]

New album will be strange!...

[Jeff2870]

You fucking haters act like you would rather keep right on buying the garbage put out there by Plain White T's or All American Rejects, or for God's sake some other emo-crapfest. Fuck, this whole "oh God, Layne was the best, this sucks, how dare they" shit is SO...FUCKING...STALE. Get over it already. I will buy the cd. You? If you don't like it, it's real, real simple. Save your cash and add to your James Blount cd collection. Fucking morons....

[RothMan18]

Haha,exactly I don't care if you're an old AIC fan or just got into them,whether Layne's the singer or Duvall you're still gonna go buy the c.d and you should,but I miss Layne and wish to god he was still singing and making AIC the best damn band ever but Cantrell's there and that's what keeps me holding on,because with Cantrell we ultimately have alittle piece of Layne there with us.....

[Jeff2870]

Right on...I am willing to bet Jerry Cantrell knew Layne better than his family, any of his other friends, and certainly more than all these idiots who say "Oh. Layne would be so insulted! He meant to kill ALL of his bandmates careers by overdosing!" Makes you wonder if they let the mental ward get on youtube at some hospital or something. They say, "He was such a good person, so loving, blah blah" then say he wouldn't want the band to move forward. Morons.

[shaunmgyssels]

If any of you haters call yourself AIC fans then you will at least give them a chance, shit till this day AIC is still my favorite band and although layne isnt with us i still think their able to create great music IDK just wait and see. and to have the opportunity to see them live again is just icing on the cake. As far as keeping the same name i have miked feelings about that maybe they should have went the foo fighters way......Cant wait

[Seanorman88]

They better have some vocal harmonization or else it won't sound like Alice In Chains. Seriously, I think the key element to AIC's sound was the vocal harmonization between Layne and Jerry. It had such a creepy sound to it, and it worked in every track it was used on (specifically on their self-titled album)

[oht2cwb]

what a piece of crap!!!!!

Jerry is so lame for calling this sucker on vocals.

Why didn't they go straight to Chris Cornell?

[tru3f4n]

Because Chris is off doing his own thing and with Cornell in the band it would be about Cornell not AIC

[birthmachinerocks]

because cornell is too busy recording trash with timbaland and J.T.

[AICpantera]

yeh, cornell used to be cool

i have lost so much respect for him

[GrungeRock1991]

because it would not be right at all to have the voice of Soundgarden becoming the voice of Alice In Chains.

[deadviolets]

Well, as predicted, the vocals sound like shit.

[casey10bb]

I agree; they know they're on camera (obviously). They're playing with all you worshiping sheep who lick their balls. Let them tease you all they want into a frenzy of bullshit. All this hype their putting out is only going to make them look like bigger fools if they don't deliver. You all need to get a life of your own. This band likes to play with you so much and you're all so stupid that you don't even care or notice.

[Jeff2870]

Yeah, they knew they were on camera, so they should have....stared at the floor? Kept their mouths shut? Pretended they were deaf? You idiot. The TRUE AIC fans were curious so they gave us something to sample. Of course, the Staley fans are insulted because it truly seems like the cd will be good...the only "sheep" around here are the haters who watch this and have their little egos shit on because it doesn't suck like dickviolets and Shanejackoffus said it would. Stop watching if it sucks.

[csplendrig]

man this guy better not suck

[hhguitarist92]

are there no more updates?

no week 11?

[jcougarfootball21]

on myspace the band profile just released a week 11

[7stringkiller]

quote Eddie Vedder

"so sing just like him fuckers"

"it won't offend him"

"just me"

"cause he's dead"

[kevinAIC33]

Eddie Vedder is a dope for saying that and that tune sucked. This is the reason why he is dope b/c no1 can sing like Layne Staley and Duvall will not try b/c i'm sure he knows that... Just b/c ppl sound like Vedder no1 will ever take the vocal sound of Layne b/c he was uniqe

[7stringkiller]

Layne and Eddie were friends. What the fuck would you know? Obviously nothing, you can't even come up with a non AIC name for yourself, you like rap to I suppose? What the fuck is what reason why who is dope? Ignorant motherfucker try structuring your sentences.

[kevinAIC33]

what does that have anything to do with what I said? Eddie is still stupid for writing that song b/c no1 in this world will ever sound like Layne no matter how hard they try... Many ppl sound like Vedder b/c he isn't uniqe. And as far as rap goes Retarts Attempting Poetry I rest my case that I dunno like rap... And next time you send me something make a little sense... over and out

[LayneStaley01]

and i quote from 7stringkiller "What the fuck is what reason why who is dope"? just so u know that sentence makes no fuken sense u must have been so high

[nenshoukun]

there's something like that in king of the kats

[AlanGuerraPedro]

Awesome!!!

There wasn't vocals but THAT RIFF!!!

Can't wait for the record!

[AICRULZ13]

William looks like a nice guy, i'm sure him and layne coulda been great friends, glad to see AIC is back, cant wait for the record!!!!!

[ulose15]

1:25 heh i can hear jerry doing the backing vocals

[madseason82]

All the guys in Alice are known for their hilarious joking but something about this looks forced & somewhat unnatural. Filming them without their knowledge would help.

[sickman975]

what do u want hidden cameras..why dont u go analyze how mch of a retard u r

[bhaallbherith]

Brave!!!

[573v30]

lol @ the born again reference

I hope this isn't hijacked by those "No Staley = No AIC" keyboard warriors that are present in just about any AIC vids.

[573v30]

I mean comments, not in the actual vids. XD

[ulose15]

these vids are not made for you to hear all of their new content. They are put up to show you what its like with AiC in the studio. If im correct vocals are all that is left and then they will be done. Im just assuming tho they plan on being finished before soundwave comes

[mikeyodog]

what's soundwave?

[ulose15]

soundwave is some big rock festival in austrailia

[csplendrig]

I wish you guys would have the guys talk a little and play more. These clips don't really show anything at all

[sickman975]

there not going to..sorry they aren't metallica..or at least the new metallica..thank God
