Layne had one of the most unique voices I've ever heard! But let's get real... he's not coming back :'( and AIC has to move on and I have to say this guy isn't bad at all.
well layne fucked it, he is dead and i would give my life just to see him live but it's not possible:(....but thanks to this man it's possible to see live other members, to listen great music and really, this man is really amazing and he should be proud about the job he's doing:)
I liked Layne but all you but fucks worshiping him like was a god is fucking retarded. Duvall is fucking badass and may actually be more talented than Layne was if you want get real. But all you turds don't want to be real. You prefer the myth to the truth.
William is good. He's no Layne, obviously, because there will never be another Layne in the history of mankind, but he doesn't try to be Layne. He just goes onstage and does his thing.
I don't understand why fans expect AIC to sound like Layne was still at the mic. You should be grateful we can still hear them play.
he fudged up the first line of the second verse, and alice just isn't the same without layne, but i absolutely love them anyways. and duvall is a great singer, albeit he is hit or miss with his performances. he's great live, just his presence is nothing on layne's. layne is flawed, which is something alot of people can relate with, but duvall will grow on the people who love alice, just as johnson has with acdc, but like the old singer/ new singer acdc debate, this debate will never end
just when Duvall was starting to grow on me....ugh. He's a bit too pretentious with his stage presence and doesn't feel the songs....and I cant' stand when he holds his guitar out like that.
William DuVall is the best thing that ever happened to Alice in Chains. He is one of the most talented musicians to ever come from the state of Georgia. His work in "No Walls" is still unparalleled in its sheer musical excellence.
1979Dharma.... PLEASE... IT'S SO INSULTING TO LAYNE FOR YOU TO SAY THIS.... with much respect to William... It's just very hard to swallow this change... and William was fine fronting his band COMES WITH THE FALL... whom he's forgotten about completely....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
on the contrary, i DO LOVE AIC the old stuff with Layne, and I say jerry sold out...their music has no soul...come on true AIC fans tell it like it is..
yah he always has.. jerry is the backbone of the band.. no doubt about that.. jerry is the fucking man! im so happy they chose to continue on... this will be chapter 2 in the life of alice in chains... im so looking forward to some more new music from them.. i bet they'll release an EP next and it will kick total ass............................. long live layne staley!!
Vejam bem antes de criticar... não se trata de um novo Laney Staley e sim do novo vocalista do Alice in Chains. Clássicos serão tocados sem dúvidas, e devem ser tocados, os fãs exigem, mas sobre o desempenho do William Durval, devemos conhecê-lo primeiro através do novo disco do Alice "Black Gives Way to Blue" para só então podermos avaliar como foi a volta do novo Alice in Chains.
oh, you must be one of those closed minded people who think Alice in Chains can never be good without Layne Staley, I hate to break it to you, but he was just the front man (and amazing one at that), he wrote some of the songs in the catalogue, but Jerry Cantrell was always the primary song writer
i respect that you are studying music but if thats the case dont you see how bad duvall sounds? i mean now that you told me that you should really know nom...
Just saw Alice at the Sonisphere festival at Knebworth. I'm a long time 'Chains fan and loved Layne's voice but they kicked ass, only thing was they wern't on long enough. They sounded awesome and Duvall does Staley's legacy justice, which is no mean feat. Alice still rocks....hard
Duvall sucks big fat floppy donkey dick!! Duvall is a glorified karaoke singer at BEST and Yes Jerry Cantrell did sell out AIC and No their not going to change the name cause the name alone sells tickets!!
Duvall isnt horrible he could be a lot worse. Of course he cant compare to Layne, no one can, Layne is in a League all of his own. I just adore Jerry and will stand behind anything he does.
The only thing more stupid than the people showing the devil horns at the beginning of a song this soft is William DuVall trying to be some hotshot guitar hero with his guitar upright on his knee while standing in front of a legend like Jerry Cantrell, who could wash the floor with DuVall's balls on both guitar and vocals.
If there IS a God - he's blessed Jerry Cantrell with the gift of William DuVall's kinship AND the insight (and OVERALL love for Music --) to follow his heart and continue with Alice In Chains ... for US, people !!! DuVall is frickin' DEFINITELY at least acceptable
... I am SURE no one's going to EVER think this dude could live up to the infernal magnitude that WAS Layne Staley. 'nuff said.
duvall doesn't actually sound too bad imo. I'm not saying that you can even compare him to Layne, I'm just saying that they could have picked a much worse singer.
in all fairness you've only heard DuVall live. Layne Staley will always be my absolute favorite singer, but i think William will sound really good in the studio. But hey if he doesn't oh well, you were right i'll buy you a beer.
What are they supposed to do, they needed a new singer. Band often change members, This guy sings great, hes not layne but what can you do, AcDc also changed singer because the first one died!
i know nobody can ever replace Layne, but for arguments sake, who do we think should have been a replacement for Layne...because obviously, AIC needs 2 vocalists. i can't think of anyone...yet.
@molkisha i was the same way til i seen them live last weekend...I highly recomend it...it will change your mind...keep rockin brotha...we alllll miss layne....;(
If Jerry had replaced Layne with Justin........yeah, bro! That's exactly what I was suggesting. You know what dry sarcasm means? Where'd you get your GED?
AIC should be dead just the same as my favorite band "the doors" should be dead. the lead singer made those groups and i'm sorry but I would punch Jerry in the fucking mouth for this if I ever saw him. Go TO HELL JERRY THE FUCKING SELLOUT" you suck and your a disgrace to a once beautiful band.
finally someone said it..amen dude Jerry has lost any respect I hadfor him id not only punch him in the face but id pull his nut sack over his fucking head!!! plus elton john singing on their album..fuck me shoot me now cuz im in hell..
If you really loved AIC, you wouldn't have said that. I understand people who bash the new guy, as he is obviously nowhere near Layne, but leave Jerry out of it. And have you even heard the song where Elton John plays the piano? You'll find it on youtube, go check it out. Of course, the piano parts won't be there, it's live. But it's still a great song, and it won't turn into an Elton John pop song just because he plays some piano on it.
Agree. Cool Intro, but the harmony sucks and it just sucks that Layne's no longer here. I know AIC has to move on but it just doesn't compare to what they had with Layne, sorry...
Alice in chains died with LAyne......... This shit sucks....
