im sorry but i dont give a fuck what people say, im so glad aic got duvall other wise we would never get to here this song again live, nor would we get new aic which as far as the music goes is just as good as the old aic, of course the old stuff was better because laynes voice was too good for words but still, bravo duvall!
of course Layne can't be replaced and to put Duvall, who is an absolutely terrific musician in his own right, in those shoes is the same sort of thing Newsted had to deal with in Metallica. enjoy the music folks, it's good shit
There is no reason why AIC shouldn't continue to be a band. Layne will of course be missed. He brought somthing to AIC that will never be matched. But William Devall has done nothing but impress the hell out of me. He never tries to be Layne, and he adds his own thing to these songs and in my opinion has earned his place in AIC. They are still as good as they ever were and have many more years left.
Alice In Chains isnt Alice In Chains w/ out Layne Staley.....His voice was wat made them amazing, he has one of, if not, the most amazing vocals, he could do anything w/ his vocals. No1 will ever, EVER, have vocals like Layne.
I was once a doubter... after seeing DuVall live I can truly say that he's the real deal. Though he can't quite outperform Layne, he was awesome and exceeded expectations.
@numberninteynine nirvana is the worst grunge band... and every ones like "omg im 13 nirvana is cool" look up "smells like" on yt... the first suggestion is "...TEAM spirit"... his fans are so dumb and fake they cant even spell the song name right. nirvana is overrated. kurt was an O.K guitarist and a pretty bad vocalist.. layne staley was a god and sadly people only remember kurt nobrains because he owned himself with a shotgun at the peak of fame... and that makes a hero? fuck the world.
Then they arent fans, real fans aren't those idiots. Yes he wasn't the most talented guitarist or singer but don't attack him for fucks sake. And dont use the goddamned term grunge because it was just a movement. I do agree that he got way to much recognition for shit and Layne deserved way more, but dont be a dick about it.
fuck you. Layne was great, but you can't compare Cobain and Staley. Ech is totaly different. I understand what bothers you, but can't just say "Cobain's a dork ane Staley is god.", because things just aren't that simple. And it's NOT true that Nirvana has only teenage fans. It's quite foolish to say that.
Layne ended up in a similar way as Kurt, he was neither better in dealing with drugs, nor worse.
Fuckin-A!!! I didn't think they'd do any "Layne" songs. It wasn't Layne, but 'live' never sounds right, anyway. Good work, Will, and long live AIC. I can't wait to see them in Feb.
Layne can't be replaced, but I'd hate to think, therefore, that we never heard A in C ever again. And Duvall hit those high notes pretty good. Respect.
Right on, brother. I've seen Chains twice since last September and DuVall is mighty impressive live. Best of all, the whole group comes together like classic AIC, you can almost feel Layne in the building. To any doubters out there, give your head a shake, the band lives on.
:( his voice was so great ...
