Why the hell didnt AIC choose phill anselmo for the new AIC .same kinda lifestyle both from the end of the glam era & with simmilar singing, range &lyrical content. the new singer i have nothing against but its not AIC and never will be. i dont think can bring anything to them / just recite there old stuff in a karioke like fassion. so again phill can bring some new songs to them as well as bring alive there old stuff and maybe revive / evolve some good music.
Yeah at least bring someone from the same era, or like you mentioned someone kinda assosiated with them. I don't think they should be bringing out new stuff. Tour with Phil doing it for Layne's memory yeah i could of dug that but this shit no way.
personally i think william is pretty good, noone can expect him to be layne, these were layne's songs. noone can sing them the way he did, but to say william sucks isn't fair. more power to aic for doin what they wanna do.
woo AIC reformed. When i was into them 2 years ago, i got pretty depressed that Layne died=no more aic, though i found some aic website which said they were reforming :).
all the people who moan that he isnt as good as layne need to grow up , layne fucked up , dont expect the band to give up because u dont like it , coz plenty of people do ...ps i saw them first time round fuckers haha
i saw them in seattle at the paramount. incredible. i came in thinkin duvall would suck, but actually, hes way better than any of these videos. dont go by them. i didnt tell the difference. and aic is my favorite band.
I think that your totally wrong. I saw them live and it was amazing....Ive listened to AIC since I was ten chillin with my pops...Its not Layne OBVIOUSLY but its still AIC and its still their music. It would be different if they REPLACED Layne...far from it.
I saw them at Great Woods (excuse me now Tweeter Center) in MA. I don't think Duvall is the "new singer" he was just touring with them on that tour. I think he has balls, those are big shoes to fill. He actually pulled off the vocals good live. Let's face the truth, in Layne's final years Alice in Chains did nothing because he was too fucked up to contribute to the band. RIP LS.
live alice in chains is better then nothing at all look at all the other old 90's bands like sound garden and rage they refuse to even make an album let alone play at the same venue we should be happy they made a returen i would like layne there but thats just not going to happen just enjoy the music.
yeah i hope they do record new stuff, just to hear the boys again, but it HAS to be under a different name, but it will be so thats cool, just look forward to hearing the boys again guys and see how it sounds, i mean Chris cornell proved that this sorta crap can work so just wait and see eh
What the fuck do you pussies want? You want Jerry and the rest of the boys to just lay down and die? Alice in Chains isn't just one man, I miss Layne as much as anyone but he's gone and the rest of the boys are ready to rock again. I am goin to see them nov 18th in KC and I am pumped.
Fktur: most of AIC's songs have been written by Cantrell. I'm happy the guys are back together but I agree with dawnyf: this new singer can't even sing...It's just a little better than nothing.
Coming back with only Cantrell as a singer would have been really better than this.
You people need to get over it and move on! they aren't trying to put out new material with Duvall, they are just going out and playing live with the best they can do and have fun. I loved Layne's voice as much as the rest of you but you what he is dead and gone. GET OVER IT!
Layne Staley IS Alice in chains... Jerry cantrell and the rest of those faggots need to change the name if they need to pay some bills. you dont see rage against the machine with chris cornell.. Change the name you faggots!
Jerry Cantrell was the mastermind behind every Alice in Chains record. Although Laynes voice had that insane presence, Cantrell wrote everything so... if he wants to bring the fans a tour with a temporary singer so be it... it's his music.
when ur there it doesnt matter, you still saw alice in fucking chains! im seeing them in a month and i cant wait layne or not. personally i think layne is the best rock singer in history, but this is still great shit!
i saw them live and Duvall sounds the fucking same. buy the music support the band and get over yourselves. staley died, his own fucking fault, just shut the fuck up and rock out
This is totally wrong the dude sounds nothing near laynes voice, Jerry made a bad decision on a singer,when i heard Phil Anselmo from pantera sing would it was pretty awesome hearing his voice from Dimebags death r.i.p well i cant belive he picked this guy for there new lead singer it terrible
duvall isnt staley...but its still def. good music. i agree it's not the same, but i like how they are moving on...and i now finally get to see them live tomorrow in mass.
oh please... new singer replaces the dead one. Thats rock darwinism. They'll keep the name and you can just not buy the record. I'm a "true" fan and look forward to new beginnings.
if layne was still alive I would agree with you completely, but you know what, as much as I love Layne's voice, he isn't here anymore and it is by his own accord. A true fan would appreciate what they are doing to give us AIC music live again. This show had all of Layne's family there and they spoke before the concert and they fully support what the guys are doing. Now if they try and record new material with Will and call it AIC then all of us "true fans" would be offended.
the crowd is forced to sing over duvalls voice cause they dont wanna hear him sing it
