He sucks at the old stuff. I disagree. I think he's phenomenal on vocals period. He may not have a 7 scale range like Mariah Carey or other pop artists, but he sings rock and roll music and he knows how to do it well.
i mean the passion and heart behind it. William is a great vocalist at all and the new record is great but Alice In Chains were always a very dark band and Layne was the fuckin master of tellin people, how fucked up the life is and can be and stuff and all this lyrics/vocals written by him are just so personal and painfull. This is the reason why i love alice so much, because of this dark fucked up vibe Layne had. This is also the reason why i dont like William to sing some old songs.
i know dude. I grew up on Layne and old AiC. For me personaly, Layne can´t be replaced by anybody. Layne is like Phil Anselmo or Kurt Cobain. You cant replace this great frontmans!
The new singer is good at all, but when i listen how he tryes to sing the old "Layne songs" about depression, personal shit and drugs... this sucks! But the new record is great and i wish them best luck in the future! still one of my fav. bands out there!
Oh my this is fucking awful. Don;t get me wrong I think Duvall is a great guy and everything, But Layne was on a completely different level. Different universe even. This is SAD
this duvall character is terrible. he needs to go rap, or join a reggae band. He fails terribly at Layne's vocal style. He dresses like a gay emo, and has a stupid afro. WTF?!
He doesn't even do drugs, so he can't even relate to most of the songs written by Layne. How pathetic. This is almost as bad as george bush being in office for 8 years.
Yea dont be racist but You cant replace Layne he was the best in the band. They should have changed the bands name because it wont be the same without Layne.
Don't give me that RIP Kurt stuff, dude. Kurt hated racism and absolutely did not want ignorant "fans" like yerself. Go crawl back in yer hole--if you think racism is OK, you know nothing about grunge music.
Duvall is terrible. He yelled/talked over almost every instrumental break in the song. And those jumping jacks he was doing in the beginning was just....gay. They're up there playing Would?, but Duvall thinks it's fucking "YMCA". He's clueless.
As a listener who is not a fanboy, I can very easily enjoy this performance. He's not Layne, but nobody but Layne is.
Let's grow up and enjoy the fucking song. It's still good, Layne or no Layne, and I'd appreciate the opportunity to see it performed live again. Layne ruined his fucking life with drugs, don't deprive me of good music because of it.
Now grow up, Christ. Everyone. Put the hero worship away.
that guys voice is mint but hes no layne man. cant beleive the crowd arent going apeshit to this song - clearly too much nu-metal and emo. and *shudder* trivium...
alice in chains is like a body with no soul without Layne. dirt went platinum 4 times because of Layne not Jerry . Get real.man in the box was all Layne. without that break through. we may not be having this conversation.
yeah i remember Layne saying that he wrote Man in the Box while he was stoned...hahaha Jerry deserves cred though but I agree without Layne it's like trying to replace Maynard in Tool, it cant be done...RIP LAYNE We love you man
Clearly you weren't listening to this guy singing.Layne sold all the albums.They became what they became because of Layne you brain donor.Fucking butchering of the song.Another thing,most of the songs were written by Layne and his struggle through his addiction.Fucking dumb ass.
sooo, he sucks at the old stuff but he is a good singer at all. The new album is great, but hey! who can replace Layne? I say: NO -FUCKIN- ONE!!!

As in, he isn't decomposing? I hope Alice In Chains goes on. They're mainly the brainchild of Jerry Cantrell anyway.
