No Layne, no AIC. Period. Not that I'm comparing the caliber of these two bands, but to me it's like The Beatles without John Lennon or Paul McCartney. It just doesn't work.
When Layne died we lost a great artist. Yes, Jerry wrote most of the music, but Laynes singing style and melodic sensibility geve the world some of, in my opinion, the greatest vocal moments in recorded history. I'll save my final Judgement on the new singer until the next record comes out. I'm not sure Alice in Chains will be the same without Staley.
my hubby thinks that the band is better without layne..i myself dont think so but i am glad that the music is living on cause cantrell is a great songwriter!
This might be the best new alice in chains performance i've heard besides rooster at soundwave......duvall's really progressed since last time i've heard him
saying "real aic fans" are the people who like duvall? LOL
More like chump ass youtube fan boys that heard man in the box once or twice then heard they are releasing a album and hopped on the bandwagon. Kind of funny that all you can hear is jerry singing, at least he knows that monkey couldn't handle anything layne could by himself, not even close.
No. "REAL" Alice in Chains fans don't have to like Duvall, but they should be happy that the music they know and love can once again be heard live and introduced to a whole new generation of fans. While it might not be the chains you remember, its the same music. And with new younger fans, the band can live on for years to come.
why don't you whack jobs get lost, your input is as worthless as the wind that shoots out of my ass after a bean burrito breakfast. you're not changing ANYTHING by saying shit like they shouldn't call themselves Alice in Chains or its no AIC without Layne or something stupid like that and on top of that.....NO ONE CARES what you think....so unless you are actually IN the band, then it doesn't matter what you say or who you say it to, they're not going to change because of you. so STFU!
I don't like the new singer, but they got the songs. I'll pay my ticket just for the songs, I wish that Jerry Cantrell sings, he can do it very well, but that is too much to ask, in my opinion he can't play guitars and sing.
well surisis, would you rather have new AIC music with Duvall(who is pretty good and at least doesn't really try to imitate Lanye's voice), or this shitty ass music they call "rock" that you find on mainstream radio these days?
At first i was against the reformation, but ive decided to take a positive approach to the new material and at least give it a chance.
First of all, I would like to say there will only be one Layne but if you haven't heard the new lead singer for AIC, please check out my videos!
He surprised the hell my buds and I when we saw them play over the summer. We actually thought when we showed up five minutes into the concert that a CD was playing the song "Again" over the PA's but when we finally got over the ridge we soon discovered that it was Duvall singing.
Every single video ive seen your comments on, you have been ragging on williams vocals, man he is good give him a break, layne is dead, let it go, but william is definitely the next best thing to layne.
yea.its hard to accept that the "old"aic is gone,but moving on is part of life.
deezee612 6 months ago
Layne was better but he's dead, AIC need to move on like any other band, Layne is irreplaceable but give it a chance a DuVall.
Alice in Chains is a great band and Layne was a great singer (the best) but they're still great.

I can not agree here. Cantrell wrote or co-wrote most of the music and about half of the lyrics together with Layne..
Layne was great but there is nothing wrong with William DuVall.
Cantrell is creative power behind Alice in Chains.

Well that is a stupid ass comment. Layne was AIC.
I do agree with you to some extent though. If you don't like it, then don't watch it. William is a good singer, but he sure as hell is no Layne.

Just Layne? even though both Jerry and Layne started AIC and Jerry even wrote most AIC songs just Layne was AIC?
