  • mike inez the mike starr wannabe!

  • i guess jerry sings the album version which is great. this duvall is a bit weak in this performance! sounds like he isnt on the album track.

  • The "Kravitz Wannabe" is DuVall, just FYI. The studio version of this song is just amazing, and DuVall is just singing backup. He kind of screws up the entire thing when they play live though. I do howeverlike his voice when he actually tries to sing the songs on pitch.

  • does one of em have a carvin, or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

  • Does the album version sound like Staley or am I way off?

  • is this frickin on the show or wht

  • Lenny Kravits sucks too and this guys voice is not great the lead guitar has a better voice

  • This Lenny Kravits wannabe sucks

  • I cant believe they replaced Layne with this guy I could sing this song better live oh well. The song is still cool & the recorded version is all right.

  • No I didn't know that you retard, it is great to see AIC back obviously. When I saw them live last year it was harder for me to get into it because of the lead singer. He's up there singing AIC songs trying to do the Layne thing & he's wearing a tasseled leather jacket & doing shout outs & oh yeahs to the audience. He's acting like Lenny Cravitz during an AIC song it's retarded, you can even see that Jerry knows its retarded. They could have gotten a better singer period.

  • First off.....you must be a pimply faced teenager that loves spewing insults. My son is mental handicapped and I take offense to that RETARD comment. Second, I didn't mean to insult you by saying "did you know.......". I don't know you.....you might have been living under a rock for the last 14 years....who knows....so, before you open your mouth to insult someone....please think of what you say!

  • Nice remove the previous comment, you can check my video's for pimples & you'll clearly see that I'm not. Don't act like you didn't know you were being insulting & how the hell was I supposed to know about your son. I don't make fun of handicapped people, just people who aren't but still act like they are. I will think more often when I speak just for you honey.

  • He is black? Well that explains the Afro... This live performance is bad, no emotion.

  • @sjm1785 dude someone obviously fucked up the audio cuz u cant hear them that much its good

  • they lost layne so they found this next best thing, this new dude is great! and its cool how they're doubleing vocals so he's not the true singer of AIC

  • Miss Layne...Cantrell is the man...love Mike's freaking sexy hair! Great new tunes! Long live AIC baby!!!!!!!!!

  • Their new name should be Kravitz in Chains

  • @gjasr haha

  • The song is pretty good on the record, but this is a rather lackluster performance of it.

  • Comment removed

  • I hate to tell yall this but read the book about layne he actually hated the band, didnt call them his friends in the end, either way Layne Staley is the GREATEST vocalist of ALL TIME

  • i think the man on tv didnt realized that cantrell is the front man, not the black guy on the guitar

  • dude whos the new guy with the fro

  • @blmoxa I don't see anything wrong with him, I just hope things work out. If they don't work together then Cantrell can find somebody else. I kinda hope that it can work, because it can bring some black fans in you know and bridge that racial gap that should be closed.

  • @jyoung0000 AMEN dude, this guy is awsome, he sounds so much like Lane Staley godamm they better keep him

  • those are Cantrell's vocals bro.

  • I think Layne Staley would want Jerry and the boys to go on making music. Layne was one of a kind, but this new album rocks hard and honors Layne.

  • William Duvall kick ass, he do the job well done

  • Just saw them at The Joint at The Hard Rock in Las Vegas last Friday night - f-ing AMAZING !

    If they come to your town - GO

  • Jerry is a total badass

  • The music says 90's grunge and metal, the clothes and actions say 70's rock and roll. And I say I like it.

  • I appreciate William Duvall as Layne sobstitute.

    He has a amazing voice, and a good stage presence.

    vote 10/10!

  • This is my least favorite song off the album, but fuck it, it's AIC!

  • I know, huh? It's an alright tune, but when I heard the rest of the songs I was blown away!

  • Yup. so many great songs like Your Decision, When the Sun Rose Again, Take Her Out, A Looking in View and Acid Bubble among others.

  • I can only imagine how amazing Check My Brain and Your Decision would have been with Jerry and Layne singing together. Duvall is a great singer and guitarist but no one can replace a legend.

  • Actually I don't think you can hear enough of Jerry in this performance, you can hear Duvall more. I want to hear more Jerry.

  • Freakin love Cantrell lol and he does drown Duvall haha AIC 4 life \m/

  • Cantrell really drowns out the new guy, doesn't he? lol

  • I don't like the new guy.

  • Well, he's not Layne.....and while no one could ever replace him, I think this guys fits the AIC sound perfectly....he meshes well with Jerry and the rest of the band.

  • Es un loable intento, suena bien, "prolijito", pero no se loco, no me conmueve como Layne "Gringo loco" Staley...

  • are the three white guys the original members or is the black guy the only new one?

  • Mike Inez, the Bass player has been with them since "Jar of Flies," but he's not an original member. He replaced original bassest Mike Starr. Jerry and Sean are the original members that remain.

  • yeah the black guy William Duvall is the only new guy but the bassist Mike Inez has been there for a while but i dont think hes the original bassist

  • No, the original was Mike Starr.

  • I prefer Layne Staley before Disco's Stu's

    R.I.P Layne :0

  • Layne offed himself cause he was a frickin idiot.

    Give the boys a break !!! They are back and rockin again. Not much else going on out there.

    This tune kicks ass as do a few of the other ones on the new Album.... Oh yeah.... CD for you younsters.

  • whats the point of the new dude hes not singing the high melodies like layne did any ways they might aswell just have jerry singing it all on his own. even mike inez looks off put by it. i think after seeing countless vid on here of this new guy and seeing it live myself that he should just either be replaced by someone who can actually sing high harmonies or just not bothered with at all

  • awesome song! Jerry keep up the good work

  • You know...I'm 43 years old and have been a follower of all things rock/metal/alternative since I was a youngster and it seems there has been this lull in music for the past 10 years. To me, the well had run dry. Well, AIC has broken that lull with a new CD that has awoken me from my rock and roll slumber. I was skeptical of new frontman, William, but he has made the older AIC stuff his own and I respect him for that. No, he'll never be Layne, but he's not trying to be and that's a good thing

  • I agree. I'm tired of people complaining "oh, but no one will ever sound like Layne"

  • @suanso90

    Agreed also. Just move on if you think that way!

  • Lets all face reality...Since they got sober,Metallica SUXX THE DONG OF A MOUNTAIN BILLY GOAT!!!!!Thats why Jason left,he saw they were headed for sucktown!!! Too bad they'll never make another album like 'Justice' ever again...They're white flag has been raised for yearzz!!!

  • this is awfull , sorry...

  • metallica can go fuck a hole in the ground, those greedy ass stabbin bastards, this isn't their video, leave those doughdicks out of it.

  • shut up man, this is grat stuff and and it have no sense to compare them to metallica because they play 2 different kinds of music.

    Don't just insult bands YOU don't like but billions of people do.

  • fuk you

  • lol , you kids don't know shit about shit lol, But you youngsters do make me laugh! lol

    Listen and learn, and try to listen more then you you yap..... You will figure that out as you get older...... funny kids..

  • Amen to that!

  • God, what a let down sound setup..

  • the mix on this is horrible. absolute disgrace. way too trebley, Jerry's guitar is too loud and will's is too soft, bass is muddy, drums are too trebley. they had a shocker

  • Kimmel needs to fire his sound guy(s). Some of the best bands in music have been on his show and they way the music sounds is horrible (through no fault of the band or bands themselves)

  • sean kinney really is a damn good drummer. i never see him get his due. but that man has always rocked his own style and done it well....

  • ♥ Awesome ♥

  • great performance

  • Jerry's vocals are too low, but besides that it's a cool vid

  • wills is too high

  • jimmy kimmel needs to shoot his sound guy, all the performances soud is horrible

    great song tho

  • really is a catchy riff

    i saw these guys on the same day as metallica and AIC fuckin swept the floor with them! so good.

    andi i want the black beauty so bad!

  • @fmcnally

    Really? AIC out did Metallica? Fuck yes!

  • aw man they were amazing

    well maybe i over exaggerated but i definatly enjoyed them more

    although the crowd were crazy fro metallica

  • dont much care for the riff, but the chorus is cool

  • Totally feel you, the vocal lines during the chorus paired without chord progression is sweet, the whole bending riff through the intro and verses gets old quick though.

  • omg rock on

  • Gibson is Gibson!!!

  • AH i love this band!

  • i think its great to see this band back playin again duvall sounds great as new singer,and lets all stop bithin about shit and listen to excellent music!!!R.I.P LAYNE

  • soooooooooooooo buttery

  • Go William! Go Mike! Go Jerry! Go Sean! You Guys managed to make a life changing album, and to me thats the greatest thing about AIC's music. REAL, something that alot of people are afraid of. Keep it stompin' my brothers!!!!

  • The lead singer is exactly 26 years older than me...he sings ok,but I don't know why people don't like him.

  • long live AiC

  • sick riff

  • I wish people would quit hating on Duvall. No, he's not Layne Staley and he will never replace him but he's not a jerk, not an asshole, he's getting the opportunity of a lifetime and some people are acting stupid about it.

  • Agreed, Just listen to him on acoustic. He's awesome.

  • Please Dont Take This The Wrong Way Im Not Trying To Sound Racist But I Never knew AIC Had A Black Guy In The Band I Always Thought They Were All White Guys. I Think Thats Awesome....

    The Band Has All Great Musicians And The Singer Almost Sounds Like The Original....

  • Chill Out Idiots Its Just A Video. Does Anyone Think The First Part Of The Songs Guitar Part Is Bad Ass? If Anyone Has Seen The Smallville Episode Of Season 9 Rabid I Think This Song Would Fit Perfectly. Its About Zombies Taking Over Metrolplis.  Im Tempted To Make A Vid of It With This Song In It....

  • fuck you, do you think he's in AIC cos he forced his way in? If it weren't for him, AIC might not be here today. So FUCK YOU, you small minded prick.

  • the new singer sounds almost like layne staley

  • Good song but imo DuVall doesn't fit in there.

  • i fuckin love aic

  • "black gives way to blue" is f**kin HUGE

    AiC is the shit!

  • best Alice in Chains song since the Dirt record

  • MMmm they are too static, the sound is really good, but people miss crazyness on stage

  • Man, sounds like classic/ old school AIC!!! love it!!!

  • The bassist have long hair since the 90s, and it's curly, if that's straight it would reach his butt. Damn my hair reaches down only to my mid-back and it's wavy.

  • well....AIC one of my favorite bands ever ....and as always ....JC is amazing...a true guitar great...love the warpy riff in this song...however i would of rather just seen them continue on with JC singing or just not continue at all ....some things just can't be recaptured .....Layne was that 1 of a kind legendary performer.......but sad to say about music 2day....this kills all the garbage out now...

  • Check My Brain!

    (It's in a good mood because it just heard the great song Check My Brain!)

    AIC is back!

  • omg the riff is good but the rest of the song is so unoriginal, the chorus is so boring and the whole song is so classic rock wounding its awful

  • I completely agree, except with more emphasis on the riff kicking ass by itself.

  • f you haters - we're lucky to get to hear this shiT !!!!

  • duvall is a good musicians but he needs to stop acting like a tool on stage. it ruins the vibe.

  • Jerry's lead guitar playing sounds great........

    too bad there isn't more of it in this song!

  • f*cking crowd

    AIC ROCKS JERRY ROCKS \m/

  • What are you all talking about. EVERY performance on this set sounds horrible. Sucks cause the video is so clear. 311 was that way, Pink, Black Eyed Peas, sound like crap. I dont know I think Kimmel needs a new sound tech.

  • @joshenos77 Those three bands sounded like crap because they are crap/

  • C'mon now 311 is one of my favs of all time. I grew up with these guys, the other two really arent bands so I agree. Im just saying the sound quality no matter who gets up there does them no justice. Now I did see an acoustic set thru Kimmel only for YouTuber and it was MUCH better.

  • I like 311 before they came out with their newest album. So I was assuming their performance on Kimell was sometime after their newest album :O

  • True, Uplifter is not one of their finest thats for sure but your bound to have not so popular when you put out as many records they do. They made a lot of changes and I think waiting to long to put an album out can be a good or bad thing but in AIC case, it wouldn't matter, these guys are so consistent and I love this new album. I cant stop listening to it. You know who you might like is a group I recently found called Twelve Foot Ninja. You should check them out. EP is on iTunes as well.

  • I'll have to look em up. Check out a band called "Mad Season" if you haven't already. It was a side project of Layne's.

  • A big Round of applause to the Jimmy Kemmel Sound crew for fucking up what could have been a pitch perfect performance. Would be nice to hear Cantrell's vocals clearly without having to get up to the speakers...

  • Duvall is horrible.

    Just absolutely the opposite of everything AIC was before.

  • Jerry baby, liven up, dude.

  • wtf is up with that crowd?

  • what a terrible mix for such a good band, new sound crew jimmy SERIOUSLY, i'm sick of listening to just harmonies i wanna hear the LEAD VOCALS, ps. mic the snare and we need to hear some rhythm guitar

  • awesome tune!!!!!!

  • Duval's guiat isn't on... And Sean's snare isn't miked... AIC needs new sound techs. :l

  • it is on just seems like a poor feed thru the PA might have been problems with speakers u never kno

  • ya, i was thinking the same... :)

  • I think the sound engineers jacked this one up. It doesn't sound right.

  • creo que a jerry le incomoda estar al frente de la banda yo lo veo asii no se si ustedes igual!!!

  • thank God they found William Duval!

    rock on AIC!!

    woooo!!

  • Duvall is alright.

    I'm glad to see Cantrell and company back.

  • why is that crowd not going insane?

  • I can't stand it when a band does good and all you see is the corporate world puting them down. Music is going through this fucking corporate phase tht I can't stand at all. The Jonas Brother's Miley Cyrus all those are corporate designs made for little girls who dont know any better and not for the music fuck tht I want good music not a bunch of bullshit. fuck them all...............

    the corporate bitches need to stop getting involved in the making of music it makes everything worse.

  • AMEN !

  • \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/ \o/

  • I'm a Seattle native and as much as I miss Layne what these guys have done recently isnt half bad.

  • even after having jerry in the middle they didnt make his mic all that audible. but the harmonies! the harmonies!

  • this song and album are AMAZING!!! Biggest comeback of my lifetime!

  • wow what a big surprise the audience of the jimmy kimmel show wasnt into a badass band like alice in chains.

    thats sarcasm by the way. that audience is full of twats

  • No doubt. That's why i hate it when a bad ass band plays a talk show. If it was Britney Spears or some shit they would've gone nuts lol.

  • They don't have a singer in this song?

  • Avisenlé a la gente que en el escenario está Laice in Chains. Pareciera que están viendo a la sinfónica de Berlín.

    Agiten un poco, manga de put*s!!!!

  • :O la raja weon temaso y justo el 28de octubre va estar slipknot!

  • shitiest crowd ever but willie d is badass

  • the best band ever

  • Great song, great band, superb comeback album........TERRIBLE audience though.....come on guys, you're watching Alice in Chains for heaven's sake!?!!??

  • well give some credit to the 3 or 4 guys jumping around with their hands in the air while everyone else stands still

  • Comment removed

  • Great album. YOUR DECISION sounds like ANGEL EYES and A LOOKING IN VIEW reminds me of BARGAIN BASEMENT HOWARD HUGHES. Glad Degradation trip is finally getting its dues.

  • the guitar riff for some reason makes me think of a lawnmower on he album version (more warmth to the tone)

  • Inez is just killer!!!

  • Alice in chains is touring

    Pearl Jam is touring

    Mudhoney is touring

    Dinosaur Jr. is touring

    SOUNDGARDEN is maybe going to reunite for download festival 2010 in england.

    GRUNGE IS BACK MY FRIENDS.

  • You're exactyly right!

  • i wish it was but i dont really think so

  • Hell yes!

  • HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The new album absolutely rocks, thank god for that, coz the year 2009 so far was so lame music-wise, this album saved it!

    What I don´t get is what the hell is going on with the audience on this show, is there some sort of medical condition that prevents them from showing ANY KIND OF SIGN that they´re watching a ROCK SHOW??

    What´s up people? REACTION please! I live in Argentina, we don´t get the chance to see good bands very often!! We envy you!

  • the new album sounds HUGE!

  • i smell the 90's are coming back... yeah!!

  • Someone should've turned Jerry's mic up.

  • Anyone know how they get that note bending sound?

  • They bend the note, and pick it while they slowly release it

  • Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like he's bending the E string in the first fret then another bend in the 3rd fret.

  • your right but its a bend on the first fret and then the second fret... not the third... or at least thats how its sounds... thats how i play it too... however u may be correct..

  • absolutly awesome

  • jerry's grunge guitar won't quit...i know, i know, layne would've been killer here, we all know that...great song boys.

  • great!go duvall man!

  • Great show! I believe the new Alice in Chains can bring grunge back to the world ;)

  • Alice in chains fuckin rule!!!!!!! Hell yeah!!

  • NO WAY

  • lol my dentist looks like the drummer minus the long hair

  • People trying to compare alice in chains to the time when they had Layne is just stupid!!! They sound amazing, its awesome to see them do what they do best!!!

  • This would be a OK song if it wasn't trying to be true alice in chains, how you gonna try and have the same sound without Layne? Jerry is great but it was both him and Layne's vocals that was AIC..thumbs down
