  • This new guys sucks.

  • How does someone get into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame?

    VOTE FOR JERRY CANTRELL/MASTER SONG-WRITER, GUITARIST!!!

  • Duvall is a great singer and his has a lot of talent but let's face it, Alice in Chains it's over, in the name of Layne and Mike, they should change their name 'cause alice in chains is not Alice in Chains without Layne and Mike.

  • @MrTaker1991 Wrong. Alice in Chains has always been Jerry. He wrote 95% of all the music, and even a lot of the lyrics that Layne used to sing.

  • @justAFaceOfThecrowd Really? That differs a lot from what i rad. Anyway, i still think Alice in Chains should change their name, i mean, that was a band created by 4 friends, and having the same name after all that has happened, i'm not agree. Thanks for the fact, buddy.

  • duvall is a great singer, of course it will never be like before, but id rather have them still making great music rather than being a dead band. the only thing he sucks at is talking in between songs, not that layne ever did though

  • no one can replace layne staley :(

  • Duvall is good, but we know, Layne is th one, just enjoy the new AiC, i don´t gonna die for this..

  • niggger gonna die

  • @horsie5

    Layne would invite you on the stage like that nazi,

    Sweden '93.

  • This guy is good!

  • Apples and oranges people, dont hate. Hendrix is gone too, doesnt mean I hate guitar.

  • This is excellent!!! Duvall is excellent. All you Layne lovers' need to relax.

  • That girl sings good

  • A guy uploads a video on youtube to please people, but in the comment field, people are angry like ants. Welcome to youtube !

  • DuVall misses the "i dont give a fuck what you think" attitude that Layne had.

  • i don't care if they keep going under the same name or not, but duvall is hardcore bad for metal. there's no depth or grit to his screams. he's a choir boy.

  • he sounds like steve erkel. haha

  • saw AIC in the 4th row at Red Rocks, it was amazing!!!

  • I saw AIC In Vegas a few months ago...WAS THE SHIT!!!! I RECOMMEND IT!

  • Some people need to learn to move on. The original guy is dead and the other band members can't bring him back. It's good they they have found an acceptable replacement who can do the old songs justice.

  • duvall does a great job

    layne is dead, but can someone explain to me something?

    how did he stay dead in his house for 2 weeks long??

    how didn't they realise he was dead long before?

  • Duvall is a great singer. The latest album very good. Great to have them back. Layne R.I.P.

  • good music should live on forever. No one can replace Layne but at least the band is touring, a lot of fans can appreciate that... it's the next best thing. And he is a decent singer...

  • Damn Duvall is great!!! So fucking great performance.

  • The 55 dislikers are Layne Staley fanatics, And I'm one of them

  • Love it when rockstars talk to me in my language...

  • Crowds dead....get the de-fib

  • Comment removed

  • hey ge off the stage motherfucker you are not LAYNE!

  • @piratanic13 yeah he isnt layne... so wat do ya want AIC 2 do?? stop touring?? stop makin good music?? laynes dead, but AIC is his creation n dat lives on.. so let dem be..

  • @shadymike88 yeah I see your point, but theu should at least change the name of the band as a matter of respect for Layne´s memory.

  • @piratanic13 They never changed the names of Metallica or AC/DC either. I think Duvall may not be as dynamic as Layne, but nothing ever will. I still give the band a lot of respect regardless. Not trying to step on you on this thread.

  • i saw AIC in dublin last year nd if i was blind id tink tat layne was actually singin

  • Check my attempt at the solo of this song! ;)

  • you can't be mad at them for having a new singer. it's not like they wanted the other to die. This singer is very very good.

  • lol inez poor guy dont get to make any decisions uhmmm rain when i die ... nope ....rotten apple ...nope ...well fuck it were playing them bones

  • 2 favorites bands Alice in Chains and KoRn

  • @BranMac97 same here bro

  • give a credit for the guy. it isn't easy at all to replace Layne Staley

  • Remember this was in 2006. DuVall is ten times better! Saw them live this summer. Amazing. DuVall is excellent!

  • That was fucking amazing... anyone who hates Duvall needs to use their fucking ears. He is a great singer. HE IS NOT LAYNE, there will never be another Layne Staley... Deal with it. But we have the best replacement.

  • It may sound better if the new guy put more effort into it it sounds kind of bland and slightly off tuned. Its fairly obvious that AIC doesnt want this song to change as they sing it as such when Layne was alive

  • I just hate the new singer...I cant dig him , he is so 70's and his voice sucks

    Alice in chains should die like a legend !!

  • Duvall is great! It is hard to except new singers, but no one has a choice! I mean think of the bands that had to get replacement singers! William is an awesome singer, and I think the best possible replacement for AIC!

  • they was playing doom2 map 23 "barrels o fun" and later they maked this song XD

  • layne is better duvalle sucks

    

  • @GTSJZQuickshot

    Layne is a pile of bones :)

  • @equipotriste thats funny.....he was cremated.

  • @beserker1912 LOL, I am disappointed

  • @GTSJZQuickshot your mother sucks

  • They couldn' ask for a better vocalist. Duvall is the man!

  • which country is that singer from ?

  • @MadeInChileBornInNor Africa >.> cuz hes black <.<

  • @MadeInChileBornInNor lol i know this is an old comment, but hes from atlanta...hes american

  • I don't think they could have found a better replacement for Layne. Of course no one can really replace him but Duvall is as close as it gets. I saw them live a few months ago and when I closed my eyes, I heard Staley. For those of you saying he's a horrible frontman, did any of you ever see Layne perform live? He never moved. He was drugged out and clinched the microphone the entire performance . Duvall is as good as it gets for a replacement but no one can replace Layne.

  • lame concert, lame audience, and lame frontman

  • inez is a beast

  • did jerry cantrell just drink a muscle milk?

  • That dude is terrible

  • a video cant capture the awesomeness of AIC live, it was amazing, u could feel the force of each song. jerry was amazing, they actually interacted with the crowd, more than the offspring did, but they were awesome

  • at 0:46 Mike is like "man i wanted to play rotten apple...fuck it i guess were playin Them Bones" lol wish they would have though

  • the most off beat song i've ever heard.. but i fucking love it!!!

  • GO INEZ!!!

  • RAIN WHEN I DIEEEEEEEEEEE

  • i know jerry wrote rooster for sure he has stated that he wrote the lyrics.

  • @stonesour3366 Yeah he wrote most of them , rooster was about his Dad's experiences in Vietnam. Watch the music video. his dad is in it and him and jerry talk about it

  • what's the song from 0:42????????????????

  • @KovacsBalazsHungary Rotten Apple

  • @KovacsBalazsHungary sounds like "rain when I die"

  • Well salem08, at least we can tell you're an ignorant, closed-minded racist douchebag without ever being forced into the displeasure of having to ever meet you in person.  Good job! Keep warning everyone! The internet is yours!

  • So you're calling one of the worlds best Grunge bands for garbage... Okaaay...

  • I'm sad that this debate is still going on:( I loved AiC with Layne, have been a fan from the start, but I seen AiC last year (twice...) and DuVall is a great vocalist and performer, and he isn't trying to fill Laynes shoes, he's just trying to do AiC songs justice, and for me, he pulls it off with ease. Keep rockin William! And never mind the doubters and haters dude, you kick ass:)

  • @sistabliss0609 I agree with you. I saw them back in 2007. Layne is forever the man but Duvall is a great performer. It is allways hard to fill the shoes of such an incredible talent but Duvall puts on a hell of a show. RIP Layne.

  • Why do all of you guys think Duvall is bad? I don't think there's anything wrong with him, he seems great even!

    Obviously he's not Layne, that doesn't make him bad though. Stop whining!

  • Duvall is pretty good, and Layne's dead, you people need to deal with it.

  • @gmadden57 i agree but dont talk about the dead they can hear you lol

  • @gmadden57 It's always sad

  • @gmadden57 good answer. Sad we have so many idiots hanging around the net

  • @gmadden57 YEAHH duvall is now the SINGER and its AWSOME

  • @FarmACDCFreak i agree with you pal,some people down there are still living on the past.they need to deal with layne`s death

  • @gmadden57 Duvall SUXXXXXXXXXXX! what did Cantrell decide to do, he said, let's see if I can do a 180 and find the most opposite kind of singer? Or maybe we can piss off are core fans? this new guy

  • @dennisjr77 dude if you didn't know that Layne died and Duvall was the new singer you couldn't tell the difference. Duvall is damn good singer does he sound 100% like Layne no but pretty damn close and what do you mean "most opposite kind of singer" because hes black in a band thats not rap or that he is happy as Layne was depressed. If you were a core fan then you would like any choice a band makes , deal with it nerd. and before you call me a nerd back, i am

  • @dennisjr77 Well. Obviously you arent a fan of the band if you dont APPRECIATE the BAND. You were just a fan of layne and afraid of any kind of change. get over it. Layne is missed, but we can't go back in time and stop him from dying.

  • @gmadden57 I think the problem here, is a failure, to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. But I think we just don't like DuVall. I'd like Cornell, Keenan, or Corey Taylor, HELL, EVEN the singer of STP. Forgot his name, sorry.

  • @SoWachuWan I agree 100%, I think Corey Taylor might be the best for the band. And Scott Weiland is his name. I don't like to hate on Duvall, but he just doesn't do it for me. It actually physically hurts me to hear him sing high notes.

  • There is no way this new singer can be compared to Layne Staley!

    Layne wrote these songs!!!

  • @TrailerNo9 Cantrell wrote most of the songs, including this one.

  • That singer sucks ass... no charisma at all...BUT that's cantrell's band and cantrell's songs..

  • @TrailerNo9

    Actually, Jerry Cantrell wrote the vast majority of the music and lyrics.

  • Duvall was a great choice. He can sing what Layne could, still he has his own personality

  • Rotten Apple at 0:40, weey. Would be sweet if they had of played that

  • What kind of guitars does Jerry use?

  • G And L RAmpaGe guitars

  • He uses G & L's and Les Pauls. This one is a G & L Rampage, his second. He got his first in 1984 and thats the one you see him playing most. They Just came out with a tribute version of the Rampage for Jerry, so check it out! They made a few upgrades to it to mimic the one Jerry plays, its awesome.

  • haha at 1:34 the drummer is like "We need a new fucking singer"

  • R.I.P Layne Staley :'( Gone, but never forgotten

  • old singers better, but this guys pretty good... the is batshit crazy

  • DuVall is a decent replacement for Staley, but still, i'd perfer the original AiC anyday...

  • @BlitzkreigYYZ Who doesn't?

  • DuValls sings good not like other bands that they change of style like Spineshank

  • HA! n Will didnt kno da song!

  • HAHA! Inez started playing rain when i die the =n he was playin rotten apple

  • Jerry's vocals should have been higher...

  • I take that back... Jerry's vocals should have been WAY higher.....or DuValls shorter

  • Is that a part of a music, which the bass plays before "them bones" starts?

  • No, that was just Mike messing around.

  • It's just the main bass riff from "rain when i die" , it's mike trying to get them to play the song.

  • yeah , that's true and Rotten Apple

  • intro to 'rain when i die'

  • Thank you guys.

  • wasnt their lead singer white in the music video ?

  • ye but he died about 7 years ago

  • There original lead singer died in 2002 because of a heroin overdose. William DuVall is their new lead singed, as shown is the series of videos.

  • chido por duval,canta igual a layne,espero ke vengan a mexico¡¡¡¡

  • lol they were moshing

  • i think he was crap at rar 2006..but 3 years have passed, he's really good now

  • Yeah I'm not a big fan in this video but the new album is good.

  • @EdwardLouisSeverson3

    They played today here at Portugal, and the concert was perfect, epic, this song was like the song of the night ;)

    They are much better now, since their latest record they have been getting even better than before.

  • and wheres your video singing this song in front of 10s of thousands of people at a big festival?

  • @lesassassins you have to try as hard as fucking possible to live up to layne staley.

  • why does it always seem that this solo is played offbeat?

  • might have something to do with the fact it goes from 7/4 to 4/4, then back to 7/4 timing

  • oh really? thats weird, howd you figure that out?

  • I do music in college, part of what I learn is music theory

  • Que suerte ese chabon de cantar con alice!

  • ya know i like the new singer.... but he is to much into getting the crowd up with the comments like "common" or "lets go"..for some reason i just dont like when singers do that....let the music pump the crowd up....the music has never had a problem before.

  • I think he's just trying too hard. It's not bad when a singer tries, but not that hard. Check Godsmack live at House of Blues in Las Vegas doing Voodoo here on YouTube. He does a good job and doesn't try as much as Duvall does in this video.

  • Only Layne can sing a song like this, Duvall did a nice try but he failed on this one...

  • You are so goddamn right on this one..

  • RIP LAYNE ..l.-

  • listen to the way he says ahhhhh

  • The music is performed perfectly!

    William is satisfying , they could have found a much Better singer, with richer vocal abilities. they chose him, the end.

  • 1:15

    the KKK has breached rock am ring

  • rofl there was a KKK member wtf

  • isnt that a guy in a bunny suit?

  • no it's a guy in a bunny suit

  • !!!!!!! GET TO DA CHOPPA!

  • If the KKK guy has no problem with Duvall why should we..? lol

    He WAS in the pit....

  • But Layne didn't even have a brother

    How can someone sing on an album if they don't even exist?

  • Does William DuVall LOOK like he's Layne's brother?

    Christ, grow up

  • Whatever lol

  • What?

    I don't even know who you are

    How can you used to have trusted me if we've never met?

  • Seriously, ask anybody. Fucking google it fifty times if you have to. That's the guy on the new album

  • Am I now?

    Funny, I guess in all of the interviews where he's talking about working on the new album with Jerry and co. he must have just been lying. Over and over.

    Besides, Layne didn't have a brother

  • hiuuuu its weird to listen aic songs without layne :(

  • No, this is the guy who sings on the new album. Name's William DuVall

  • this is what i respect in bands, nothing stops them from doing what they love to do. It shows, AIC wont die out that easily. They took some time off but i am super glad they found themselves and kick ass, new album rocks, Stayle will be remembered but as the song goes "its your decision""

  • what is Jerry's drinking?

  • That F-n CRAZY! It's sounds like Lane never left.

  • not as good as layne, but still kickass.

  • layneeeeee:( ughhhhhh i want him back, he should be performing here, fack life

  • No one will ever be able to sing like Layne! But Duvall is doing a great job as far as im concerned. The New album is SICK!! Layne WOULD be proud!

  • Is this who sings on the new album?

  • Yeah, that's the guy

  • Yes it is.

  • Jerry and Layne FTW. RIP Layne

  • i dont like duvall as singer for aic and imo this is the only song of the concert which he sang good.

  • Fail more.

  • Wow they sound soooo good!!

    William won't ever replace Layne, but damn he's an amazing singer and maybe now those of us that couldn't see them play with Layne have another chance to see them live :)

  • agreed, acid bubble is the shit, and not the singer you fucken whores!! i'll fucken punch you out you bitches! peace out homies!

  • just amazing, amazing, sounds awesome, so fuck you racist bitches, your only insecure about your fucken white pastie skin you fuckers! go to hell

  • Oh my God I didn't the vocalist was that bad.

  • i don't mind if his skin is black, white, yellow, red, green, orange, purple or any other color, but replacing Layne with him is shame for the band. he just can't sing.

  • He's awesome.  Holds true to the feeling of the music, and his vocals rock. Layne would be proud.

  • You're all pissed cause he's black.

  • my thoughts exactly..people aren't used to a black man singing rock music. Fuck that shit..a good singer is a good singer...cant wait for the new Chains album!

  • In Living Colour, Sevendust, Orange 9mm, Skunk Anansie.... all those singers are AWESOME.

  • the best guy to be in layne shoes
