I take back all the negative things I said before. BGW2B is my album of the year. One of the reasons I'm pleased with its outcome is Jerry, if I'm not mistaken sings more than William, whom I admit is better than I thought. I don't see any harm with letting him sing more on their next album, but I hope they don't have him play as big a role as Layne did if he's planning to promote CWTF. I still miss Layne but it's childish not to support his former bandmates 'cuz he's not with them anymore.
I'm just curious.. how in the HELL did you get that video record inside the pageant. I'm from st. louis, and i've witnessed many people being kicked out of that place for various reasons.. really tight security.. plus its small as hell
We may not know what Layne would have wanted in the event that he died, but I think it's safe to say he would have put AIC to rest if Jerry or Sean or Mike had died instead. When asked if Mad Season would put out another album back in 1999, Layne said no, they had just lost their bass player John Baker Saunders.
jerry sang this better then on the unplugged duvall still doesnt harmonize well with cantrll tho and his voice doesbt fit the music wat the fuk is jerry thining having him in the band
Dude I love Layne, he was the best ever, but you have to relize Jerry wrote 70 % of Alice's tunes so he Mike, and Sean should keep sharing them tunes to us..,But I don't think they need that tool Duvall..Take it easy man
I never said Layne wrote them all, and no Jerry did NOT write 70% of them they pretty much had it spilt down the middle, with a few that they all wrote together. DuVall tries to put Layne's passion in those songs that were so personal to Layne AND AiC and it just ain't hapnin.
Haha it wasn't not down the middle, Layne even said, he didn't feel like siging anymore b/c he wanted jerry to sing his own tunes, Jerry wrote more than half of the lyrics buy the cds and check the front of the cd it says who wrote the music, and the lyrics
Regardless....the point is, DuVall shouldn't be singing these songs. He doesn't even fit in with the band or their usual fans. He sticks out like an infected sore thumb and his voice sucks. He can't even come close to matching the talent that Alice once had at their mic.
I already said I don't like Duvall, but he is better then nothing, I really rather see Jerry just do the siging and them bring along another guitarist to play rhythem or even leads at times...How about Slash? haha Or Duff, he can play some guitar?
Something times I wish they asked Mike Starr to come back and he and Mike Inez could altenate between playing guitar and bass while Jerry does the singing and alternates between lead and rhythm guitar.
yeah, i wish they asked mike starr to come back for the unplugged and play rythm instead of scott olsen. that way it would be every member of alice in chains
Your right he doesn't fit in this band, Layne Staley was one of a kind, and I'll say he was the best pure singer of all time, and noone can say otherwise b/c it's a fact, but I still think jerry, sean, and mike have every right to sing these tunes, but I think they should just get diff. singers throughout the concerts to sing each song..Singers who were influ. by Staley
regarding duvalls passion in the songs, would u prefer that he sung passionless? like come on, if ur gonna try to cover a song u gotta make it ur own and i believe thats what he's trying to do
DuVall shouldn't be trying to make Layne's songs his OWN! They were Layne and Jerry's songs and 99% of them were sung by Layne as ONLY he can. DuVall can never come close to Layne's talent and needs to go back to his own band.
Jerry may have written 70% of the music all by himself. But he and Layne shared the load 50/50 with the lyrics. In fact, Layne wrote 75% of the lyrics off Tripod.
Jerry, Sean, and Mike have every right to move on and continue as a band with Jerry or someone else on lead vocals. But they should do it under a different name and put AIC to rest along with Layne.
According to their official website, Duvall not only toured with them but he became their lead vocalist.They plan on releasing their first album since 1995 by the end of this year.
Yes, I am aware that they are planning to release new material under the name AIC with William Duvall as their lead vocalist. But as far as I am concerned, there is no AIC without Layne. Do you understand what I am saying, sweetheart?
I was right up front on Jerrys side of the stage for this show. It was the most surreal experience of my life. I still get chills everytime I think about this night.
I say the same. This is my first time seeing this performed besides the Unplugged MTV performance. And its just sending chills through my bones. A.I.C forever * Layne R.I.P

I totally agree and you know that's not a bad idea :)
No one can replace Layne, but many can pay tribute to him singing a song of his that is close to their heart.

Can they sing the songs that Jerry wrote? He wrote Killer Is Me, for instance.

Bravo shane.......thanks to shane this is what we like to call 'karaoke chains'.
'it' does NOT sound anything LIKE Layne and it's a sham that he's singing what Layne wrote out of his own troubles and trying to say it's good music.
NO LAYNE NO CHAINS!!
