  • Jerry headbanging at 1:45 did it for me. Gotta love that guy.

  • Duvall does a good job. He's not Layne, but Layne is dead. Had he not got all stung out on smack maybe he would still be here. nuff said. Now, shut the fuk up and enjoy the music, or throw dirt into your cd player.

  • He fucking sucks Layne we need YOU RIP

  • at least he's decent during the chorus

  • duvall is a great singer but just my opinion for AIC his voice is a little to smooth.. it needs to be a little more rough and tough if that makes sense! just for this style of music.. but anyways hes way better than average and BGWTB is better than what i expected them to be Without Layne Staley

  • die hard fan of alice in chains... but i just dont like this. Wish cantrell, sean, and mike started a new band, with a new name, another singer!

  • @hasinteification

    I totally agree

  • Layne got a tan and a fro. He looks good.

  • Those who say the band didn't recover never recovered from the lost of Layne.

  • LOL he's black and there's a HUGE confederate flag in the crowd. 

  • @ReachDeep1 yeah he should have sang " DAM u Redneck confed traitors!! "

  • @ReachDeep1 Wow. What fuckin dicks.

  • Get your Togas on People....

    BABYLON is DONE.

  • sludge fucktory! \,,/

  • he he he sludge metal

  • Thanks to DuVall one of the greatest bands ever is still alive and bangin good music

  • 10 people couldn´t dam that river.

  • what are you talking??duvall have very similar voice to layne,an he ve done this song very well!!!

  • they're playing this one TOO SLOW

  • I think the reason people hate on the new guy. is because i think AIC lost a sense of heavyness since stanley died. but really the new vocalist isn't half bad his harmonies with Jerry are perfect.

  • the new singer is good but layne is better..... much better

  • jerry cantrell ruulesssssssss!!

  • the crowd wasnt massive for them compared to others, but aic put on a great show and are winning back their british audience!

  • the crowd wasnt massive for them compared to others, but aic put on a great show and are winning back their british audience!

  • Talking about a spinning drumset? Was he in the midst of a Slipknot dis? *grin*

  • too slow

  • when he says river he doesnt say it long enough like riv-vaaaa. he say riv-r

  • @tiggytheblock It doesn't have to sung exactly like Layne. It doesn't make it wrong. .

  • tempo is too slow

  • layne staley 100%

  • LOl if u dont like the crowd just watch AiC in optimus alive in portugal, not 100.000 people, but in that show i swear that i just can hear duvall in rooster and in no excuses.

  • Duvall is good, but he performs like hes at a kids party.

  • heyy duvall...you do have a great voice, but stop tryna be Staley and go back to Comes With the Fall...youre not even from Seattle...

  • @stubhytime He was never trying to be Layne and Boo your not from Seattle. :)

  • @W78516 hence why im not up on stage tryna take layne's place :)

  • @stubhytime No stupid "hence" your not up there because you are not a entertainer, singer, or ever played in a band. So you couldn't anyway.

  • @stubhytime No stupid. Your not up there because you are not an entertainer, singer or ever been in a band. So you couldn't anyway. What does being from Seattle have to do with it anyway. There is an was plenty of good bands that are not from Seattle. (Although Seattle does rock). Hey, I guess everyone in the world who is not from Seattle are sub-human aliens.

  • @W78516 how do you know im not in a band hahaha....get a life and stop tryna start arguments on youtube (:

  • @stubhytime Look in the Mirror Buddy.

  • I saw them live last summer at sonisphere in finland, and i can tell u duvall is fucking amazing such a technical and raw singer fucking love it!

    These videos on you tube arent so good, he has really improved...

  • yeah...but duvall does the best he can...nothing compared with layne but...alice in chains still rock

  • This must be the Southland. Look at all of those Confederate flags.

  • those flag fliers have some impressive balls!

  • this song is amazing. its also really underrated

  • AIC for life.

  • You al complain bout duvall, but youd all complain about a replacement if it isnt staley. guess ur more of a layne fan than a n alice fan.

  • This festival was the first time I saw AiC since they reformed and any lingering doubts I had over the new singer were gone by the end of the set.... the dude does rock

  • @mlc3 Totally agree, you will never replace the undeniable sense of evil that Lane possesed, but Duvall does rock the shit out of it..

  • Sounds damn good to me!!

  • Laney 'bury u, brother'... =/ go to own YOUR band, buddy =/

  • i like the rebel flag flying!!!

  • Not to shabby!

  • cover band........... who would pay money for this??? seriously? and the nerve to call themselves Alice in Chains!!?? WTF? Jerry's bright idea to make a few extra bucks off Layne!! pisses me off to even know that these guys tour...

  • weigthless!!!!

  • To everyone who hates on this new version of the band:

    Fuck you.

    Saw them live, Duvall kicked ass. Obviously he can't replace layne 100%. but that was never the point and besides, what was AIC supposed to do? Never make another album? I for one am glad they found a guy who can at least help them keep producing albums and touring live.

  • @jr34v3r people act like when there's a lineup change, the band should call it quits. slayer, metallica, black sabbath, deep purple, the beatles, rush, dream theater, opeth, and the allman brothers have all had lineup changes and still kept on. no, it's not the same, but like you said, it's good that they found a suitable replacement. in my opinion, keeping the band alive in the face of adversity shows that AIC are true musicians who won't let anything keep them from doing what they love doing.

  • @jr34v3r perfectly said my friend!

  • @jr34v3r

    extremely correct sir!

    y'all junkies out there, stop this 90's grunge angst already ok?

    if only it would got worse, sludge metal rockers are so ready to kick your asses!

  • @jr34v3r

    I think the problem is AIC, although was made from Cantrell's idea, wad completed my Layne's vocals and that was the most distinctive part of the band. It isn't right without him, particularly when they play old stuff with DuVall.

    Personally I think they should have either done a tribute act or called the band a different name and make new music that way. A lot of fans will agree that new music with Alice in Chains with Layne gone isn't right.

    I have nothing against DuVall

  • Man this is a bit on the slow side!

  • sounds really good. ima duvall fan for sure. layne, youre the man.

  • Jerry is the Alice

  • Duvall sounds really good on this tune. However, they should be putting some distortion on the bass through one channel playing with only one guitar imho. Keep the bass clean on the another channel. Heard bands doing that a lot lately, Check out Heaven and Hell I Live. Check out their bass distortion and you'll get what I'm saying.

    watch?v=TDj9MRnWu7I

  • Damn!!!!! Easily the hardest working band I've been lucky enough to see.

    First Ave. Mpls. 'Bout the n'th time through here.

    Cantrell is by far my favorite songwriter.

  • dude--not the same..at all--staley's spirit was aic

  • Wow they played this REALLY slow here. Really good though, as usual.

  • Duvall has balls stepping into Layne's shoes and much respect, but he can't pull layne's vocals off in this song to save his life.

  • Wish the audio was louder this is a kick ass version! Duvall is holding his own!

  • lmao fuck duvall.. hes some nut from a emo wannabe hardcore band tryin to sing in alice in chains.. REAL ALICE IN CHAINS FANS SHOULD BE DISGUSTED!

  • @weinke2005 fuck u bitch ,even if ur comment is nine months old

  • By far my favoritest song ever other than rooster and no excusses i think this rocks the hardest out all foREVer ALICE IN CHAINS!!!!!!!!!!

  • OMG SHIT CROWD

  • I rely miss Layne. I mean like dude enough with the drugs.

  • @Coocoopuff180 It's really ignorant for you to tell him enough with the drugs. You don't understand drug addiction...

  • Fuck all the Duvall haters.

  • WTF... WHO IS LENNY KRAVITZ???? FUCK, THE GRUNGE IS DEAD, RIP LAYNE... fucking new vocalist, alice in chains dead with layne.. its evident

  • @christux You do know that Cantrell wrote over 70% of all AIC lyrics and layne was just a singer/frontman...... granted he was great but I mean to let Alice die with him would've been stupid.

  • @smjv2009 Not true. look at the album credits. I have Facelift right here next to me and its split right down the middle between the layne and jerry.

  • My god, how is it that duvall is still soundin like shit? how long has he been lead singer!? he still pales in comparison to the godlike layne.

  • is it me or is this a little bit off tempo , still awesome

  • i dont understand how people can criticize mike inez's bass playing..... hes flawless and adds little licks here and there, which only adds to the song in the live performance. mike starr was ok, but inez is a better musician all around. In fact, jerry wrote just about every bass line starr ever played. inez contributes much more to the band in the bass dept., and is just in general a better and nicer person all around. thats why starr left in the first place. and btw, duvall is awesome

  • i dont like it!!! not the same....wats up with the rebels flags??

  • his voice sounds epic on 1:11 through 1:19

  • dont you get the feeling that they slow down a little during the verse and chorus...

    makes it kind of weird

  • funny someone mentioned mike's timing i think he plays the role well in that aic bass lines are meant to stand out but for instance, on would unplugged.. way off.. quantize that sheet!

  • Duvall is kicking ass in this one hope the dude goes like this at ALIVE'10 in Lx!!! Rock n Roll can never die hey hey my my... PAZ

  • LOLOL they playing it way too slow mike inez sucks

  • @bigmonkeyman44 dude, fuck you. mike inez is a great, solid bass player and fits in with alice in chains perfectly.

  • @chandlerblancaflor NO FUCK YOU...I LISTENED TO ALICE IN CHAINS BEFORE THAT DOUCHEBAG JOINED ALICE IN CHAINS.

    PART OF AIC'S SOUND WAS LOST WHEN MIKE STARR LEFT IN 1993...JUST LIKE PART OF SOUND WAS LOST WHEN LAYNE DIED.

    this damn the river is pathetic it's way too fuckin slow hhaah

  • BRING BACK MIKE STARR LOLOL..MIKE STARR PLAYS BASS ON THIS TRACK SO SHITTY LOLOL ahahah fuck off poser aic bassist

  • @bigmonkeyman44 oops i meant mike inez plays bass on this track shitty compared to mike starr.

  • As a bass player, I hate playing with a pick, but some bands do this so good - Mike is great, Helmet and Orange 9MM kick ass too..

  • great performance... and duvall has hell of a great voice.; I wish I can see them live In Bilbao this summer

  • duvall sucks(garbage), LAYNE was a god.

  • @carloszero193 layne is good but , that was retarded of you to say that duvall suck. he not be as god as layne but saying that he's garbage is a retarded term

  • @Tylerrr51 dude... i was DEFENDING the band bro... mainly the new singer person dude ... oh, sorry, my original comment didn't have a ? mark .... duval sucks? ... sorry for my grammatical inconsistency. it won't happen again

  • @Tylerrr51 dude... really? you let my satirical comment bother you that much ... sorry bro! you feel better now that you've put me in my place...

  • What are all the confederate flags doing here?

  • I like this version better. It's awesome when Cantrell flips his hair like that, and Duvall did amazing vocals.

  • you guys who say duvall sucks are downers. Would you rather have no aic? who the hell can sound EXACTLY like layne? he sounds similar, just be great full. we all miss layne but they have to move on

  • @Livasyandrew actually, most people who have seen Duvall live really like him. They just need to do more touring with him. He's not replacing Layne, Layne is dead....he's continuing what Layne left

  • Duval sucks

  • Duval sucks ... whatever dude ... a least he can keep a needle out of his arm ... i think... hehe

  • @zarsmack sorry but I saw him live and Duvall's doing a great job.

  • @williamfgc, I've seen Duvall live, so there, I gave him a shot!! He sounds like a fucking Hack!!! The band will never recover what they left behind in the 90's.... it's like the beatles without Lennon. Accept it!!!

  • yeah i guess i'll just have to get used to it too. i still think he's a great singer. i'm seeing aic twice in the next two months

  • duvall is just a little too fruity for me

  • learn how to spell stupid

  • 0:54

  • i love duvall but he should tone down on stage and stop pretending he's some badass rock star, because its kind of annoying. oh and sean kinney is a fucking badass drummer but i blame him for the song being too slow.

  • @bgaffney711

    he is a badass rock star, he sings in Alice in Chains!

  • what i meant is that he jumps around and shouts like hes vince neil or david lee roth, and thats just not what AIC is about. you wouldn't see layne doing back flips and shit while singing. i think duvall is an amazing singer and wonderful addition to the band but his stage presence just doesn't fit the band's style.

  • @bgaffney711 that's exactly what i was just thinking. i don't really care if that's what he wants to do on stage, as long as he's singing right.... sean mentions his drum set spinning like tommy lee also (in a sarcastic tone of voice)

  • You are my man! Even if some blind people gave you negative comments, you are definitelly right!!! See ya!

  • I miss you layne......

  • i dont mind duvall i have nothing against him but i wish layne was still here. :(

  • @BillyWigmore If they somehow could have swung it where Ian Astbury was singing, it would have been much better. He definitely would have brought the needed energy.

  • @BillyWigmore T.T WE ALL DO

  • @BillyWigmore all of us

  • What do you guys want? chipmonk speed,looks like the bank is having fun with it getting grungie

  • it sounds like somebody's recorded it on a old VHS and the tracking's gone... I cant believe they genuinely played it this slow?!

    wtf is going on. I love the new album but wtf?!

  • bit*

  • bir slow but still awesome

  • probably AiC's best song....next to...Man In The Box, Bleed The Freak, Them Bones, Got Me Wrong, Social Parasite, Rooster, I Know Somethin (Bout You), It Ain't Like That, Put You Down, Would?, We Die Young, Rain When I Die, Angry Chair, No Excuses, I Stay Away, Grind, Again, Over Now, Nutshell, Died, Junkhead, Sickman, Iron Gland, ROtten Apple, Fear The Voices, I Can;t Have Your Blues, Lying Season, Killing Yourself, A Looking In View, Check My Brain...Those are all great songs by AiC

  • I totally agree!

  • I really think that cantrell make alice what it is. he wrote so many great songs of theirs and he is so much of laynes inspiration. layne was amazing and probs my favorite singer but this guy is pretty damn good at laynes voice, and he actually was good friends with layne. Not only that we get to hear a new grunge band playing again and we get to see the original 2 playig live. Hearing jerry sing nutshell for layne was one of the best live songs i have seen. stop whinging.

  • It occurs to me that only three people have a discision in the matter of naming their band.... and none of you nay-sayers are those three. As long as they're putting out quality tunes (as the current album is) I'll be a fan. I just hope they never "Metallica-out" on us.

  • This is the "audition" song for my new band looking for a singer. It rocks!

  • hmmm i paused it as soon as he sung. alice in chains is dead without layne.

    :(

  • Saw them at Glasgow recently, when this song came on the place went beserk! Rightly so.

  • "sick of people glorifying Layne"?!?! Althouth the ENTIRE band was great, Layne's voice made them...end of story... I wish the remaining members well, but they shouldn't be called AIC...just aint the same!...

  • The new singer is not bad, the new singer is talented, the new singer does it pretty well

    FUCK IT the new singer could be Eddie Vedder or Maynard J. Keenan or Luciano Pavarotti, it doesn't matter - THIS BAND ENDED THE DAY THAT LAYNE STALEY DIED.

  • So, you're saying that Alice In Chains is now dead to you? Guess what? A new Alice In Chains fan just replaced you. The band itself is still called Alice In Chains, and all you're doing is sitting at home and whining on the internet. AIC is still going strong, and they don't care that you don't like them anymore.

  • I guess from now on Alice in Chains are going to develop a more "Upbeat" fanbase since DuVall has become the new vocalist. He obviously seems more jollier than Layne was, and this has caused many diehard AIC fans back in the day to not get into them anymore. Layne had an extraordinary shadow that followed him and he expressed his pain through music, which greatly influenced the real fans. To all the new people introduced to AIC, if you are the emotional type, check out their older stuff. RIP: LS

  • @testerz123456. its better than the jonas sisters......

  • duvall needs to sing a little louder then he'll be better , althoughhe is great on this preformance

  • he does the chorus suprisingly good, but i think he might be trying a little too hard through the verses.... but still ok...

  • Fuck !!!!!!! something's wrong with the drummer , he lost the tempo completely going back from the guitar solo .

  • haha i almost bought the Sonisphere DVD

  • When he says river in the chorus he really needs to hold that note for a little bit longer, it sounds too rushed. Its such a tiny little thing but is a shame because the rest of the chorus is perfection. Anyway great performance! Rock on Alice!

  • it gets pretty catchy after awhile :)

  • Duvalls voice is amazing on this

  • @Bogwoodbruce are u serious??? he sounds like shit.. lol.. listen to laynes version.. THATS AMAZING.. this fucking guy is a joke.. actually hes especially horrible on this one

  • @weinke2005 you're dreaming kid.

  • @weinke2005 do better...

  • @guitarnick914 didnt say i could. i said layne could. all thp i prolly couldnt do much worse

  • lenny cravits look a like is not bad but lane he is not.

  • a bunch of swedes ...how weird is that?

  • Comment removed

  • Thats how fast it is on the record. You can't feel the groove?

  • Good performance, but too slow.

    Jerry's solo kicked ass though.

  • great!

  • I'm seeing them live next month in London

  • me to. saw em at soni to :D

  • What's with the flags xD? Why the hell is there a swedish flag there?

  • err, because there's swedes there, lol.

  • Well duh,

  • duval must a really gd bloke to put up wi tht confedrate flag i jump dwn thr n kill the bastard holdin it if i wa black

  • a confederate flag means southern heritage, quit being so ignorant you moron

  • Seeing Jerry do that solo... one of the greatest feeling ever. Amazing performance from will.Just one flaw, the song was too slow paced.

  • The new singer is Absolutely a great replacement, but I miss Layne though..

  • The new singer is no layne but that is a high standard. look forward to their new album

  • whats with the rebel flag? In Knebworth? Its not like theyre a southern band. Theyre from Seatlle/California

  • DuVall is from Atlanta, Georgia

  • my god this brings back memories i remember gettinn goosies when he started jumping in the chorus

  • he needs to work on his river xD

  • The new guy is great . I saw AIC back in the day on tour for facelift opening up for Extream so I go way back i loved them back then and I love them now. Plus the new album is CRAZY GOOD.

  • u know wats truley gr8 bout it mate IT'S ALICE IN CHAINS they aint changed like moost bands do XD
