yea im torn on the subject... on one hand no one can ever compare to layne staley that guys a friggin god but .. on the other hand the band was way too good to just quit playing because he passed away. i agree they need new music that can be attributed to the new guy but of course everyones gona wana hear the classics so he has to try, give him props for not totaly fkn it up
Give Duvall some respect! The guy's voice isn't quite as fitting as Layne's, but it isn't much of a step down. Better than most singer's i see, and I think people need to stop hating on Duvall just because he seems to enjoy himself on stage. He is a different person than layne, therefore he should act different. This isn't so much comments on here, as it is on every other AIC video. Thanks for letting me vent!
I was at this show i was 12-13 and im now 16 form a musican's/AIC fan point of view william is not at all bad its super sad that layne is gone and its gunna be hard to get over but as fans we will get through it RIP layne Live on AIC
Hey the new guy has a good voice.He can sing although I believe layne was far beyond him i give the respect he deserves.The show goes on and i am impressed with the new material
I saw them play at the UK leg of the Sonisphere tour this year and although I was disappointed they didn't play this song, Duvall was brilliant, both on the new material and on classics such as Rooster, Angry Chair and Them Bones.
While William's style is different to Layne's it still works very well with Jerry's backing vocals.
Its wrong trying to compare the two and we should just be glad the band have decided to continue.
It was a powerful concert the other night with their new singer ,with Lanye well gone, it was decided by Jerry after a few years whether to continue the A.I.C. legacy
and let's not forget, J.C. i use the term loosely, sings over 50% of the songs!
It was an absolute killer concert, the roars
from the crowd, was like the concert amazing stuff! With the crowd roaring approval with each song need i say more!!
Hell ya i would Layne was a legend many years has past since laynes tragic death. Cantrel should have every right to continue the AIC legend there coming to Minneapolis i want to see em
I think everyone should just be glad that this amazing band is back from the dead. ACDC did the same thing along with INXS and many other bands, if they wanted to start a new band they would have and plus, dude sounds fantastic. Here's to many more Alice in Chains albums to come!!
I don't mind them coming back as a band and whatever but at least have a different name because it is not alice in chains and it never will be. Once they lost Layne, it was over. And i really don't like how William is singing Layne written songs, they are Layne's and no one elses.
First, Layne Staley was only 25% of alice in chains, as well as Jerry, mike, and mike, but 75% over rules 25% so get over it..Layne will always be a legend, but it's time for great music to hit our ears "again & again"
Yes i know what you mean and i do think the same, and i hope they just go the right way about the new AIC. I think Layne would have wanted them to go on.
Jerry Cantrell WROTE most of what layne backed up singing. Alice in Chains was Alice in Chains, Layne Staley was Layne Staley. I think its bloody great they're moving forward, albeit cautiously.
yeah it is a disgrace for them to really go on, id change the name at least.
I did like this version though, the ending guitar solo was really good. The vocals did go with it too, I mean they could have got someone worse right.
hey lame-o try going to a sold out aic concert and telling that to the thousands of fans singing along. get with the times and be happy that the band is together doing their thing if youre a tru aic fan :)
Jerry, Mike and Sean awesome as always!!! Duvall, sucks as always!!! Why this guy?, there's tons of guys that can sing way better then this ass clown.
I hate to be critical but being a musician/AIC fan its my job.. Noone will ever replace Layne, but this is definately one of Duvall's better jobs. I'm still excited to hear new material, it'll never be as good without Layne, but that doesn't mean it won't be enjoyable :) i just get real sad everytime i see them with someone else as a frontman...
a reminder of the past unchangable. In the end Alice In Chains is the definition of grunge to me.
I agree with you all the way. Duvall sucks as a singer, I must be missing something because everybody thinks he's great. I just want to know if everyone is tone def? This guy sounds so fucking flat that it's not even funny. Jerry, drop the name Alice in Chains and do another killer degeration trip album.
I bet you'll find their new material in the Wal*mart bargain bin for $2.87 this time next year. Duvall came from a band that never went anywhere and Jerry couldn't make a solo career work over 3 albums. What a combination they will make.
Hey asshole...Alice In Chain's Facelift cd has been in that same bargain bin before. Who was the singer on that one? These guys have played in front of several million fans now so I think you should keep your mouth shut about "bands that never went anywhere" or "solo careers that didn't work." Maybe your band or solo career is doing better?
The quality on this clip is pretty good for a cell phone? Decent sound, and no crowd noise ruining it, cool visuals too; I like the blue and green lighting. I also saw this concert (not this show but...) it was excellent. Good post.
I actually love them with duval just as much as with layne i dont know why he is getting hammered so much close your eyes on this and it could be layne
i miss layne every time i c the band without him i get depressed i wish i could sing for them i sound jus like eddie vedder but i aint far off layne iff i try lol...LAYNE!!!!
is that layne's picture on the bass drum :/ ??

As the band themselves said in an interview, THEY were the ones who lost a much-loved friend of many years, when Layne died...not us.
If they can get over it and move on with their lives, us fans should too.
