OK im just going to put out the truth for the whole big picture, jerry and the band loved what they where doing, and when Layne died they could still hang out n stuff,but they couldn't really play together like the old days, for obvious reasons, (no singer) dont get me wrong layne is my absolut idol, his voice shines stronger than any star, he was just amazing all around, but the new alice in chains is just as kick ass as the old and will fits the void well, would you rather have no alice??????
As a long time AIC fan, I cannot find a single thing wrong with this album. This song especially chilled my spine and gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it. Welcome back!
@clcbrickman...dude you seriously suck! I am so sick of people like you who have no talent what so ever and then want to talk s_it about people who clearly do. Go suck a high hard one in your warm wet mouth. You were never a fan if you think William Duvall cant sing! This is an amazing album...go kick rocks!
@clcbrickman Could you do better? If so, why dident you try out for the singing part? Noob's these days just don't know shit LONG LIVE AiC! We still need good music in this world<3 Keep going AiC!
Jerry is the Mastermind, always has been...... He's got one Bassist in Rehab, the notorious Layne S. has moved on.. I am truly impressed that Jerry kicked the Crack and put together one hell of a group.. More power to ya Jerry AKA "King of Strings"
nice post. our drummer has been listening to this lately. its good stuff man. not the orig but still has AIC all over it. nice post!!!!! can you check our channel too? if you got time dude would mean alot to us. thanks for posting this song - marcoe
After hearing the album, I can safely say that my best hopes were confirmed beyond expectation. This is CLASSIC AIC. Layne is smiling down from heaven at what Jerry, William, Sean, and Mike have accomplished - that I am sure of. Way to go, guys! I shouldn't have worried, though. With Jerry still in the band, the sound was bound to be in thame ballpark. And if the material sucked, he would have kept working on it until it felt right. I would have expected nothing less from him. A+!
Layne's voice was unique, but I'm glad Will's voice's great too. I think it shows great respect to what the band was and to what it is now. It's a nice way to move on and honour Layne without being lame
I agree. Layne can never be replaced, but William is FAR from a bad vocalist, and to his credit, he's not trying to just copy Layne with no feeling. He brings his own "voice" to the part, and the funny thing is, I can still hear a fair amount of Layne in his vocals. It's almost like he is honoring Layne's memory by channeling him subconciously. And based on the 2 singles, I'd say the new album is gonna kick some serious ass!
with jerry in the band the band's sound will never change, trust me, if duvall was a friend of jerry is that because he liked this type of music and obviously respect a lot layne because of the vocals.
this song rocks, just heard it and am ready for the new album. Alice in Chains is BACK rippin like they never missed a beat. can not wait for the album release hope the whole album rocks like this. Keep Rockin AIC.
I had my doubts about Will but hes sounding pretty damn good don't get me wrong here I miss Lane but Will is a good replacement sorry that I doubted you Will
RIP LANE HARD ROCK AND HEAVY METAL IS BACK ON TOP WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE RAP SUCKS LIKE A RATS ASS
I;m diggin the new song. I just hope they don't make duvall take a backseat in vocals for the entire album. He's already proven he can wail...let the man sing lead like the late legend himself. AIC lives on!
i saw them live too at rock on the range in columbus and they did kick ass.. i didnt say they were shit... just they aint shit without layne... duvall does a good job but he is no layne staley thats all im sayin...
Wait for my band, we're getting everyone around us interested in the good music of the 90's, tool, aic, nin, melvins etc., etc., It seems good music is making a come back ! and my bands sound is like all of it put together with our own spicy kick ! lmao, we're having trouble with a name, but we're thinking Jazzdrive, or Neutral, or Foundry or something like that. Who knows ? haha, Duvall is doing an awesome job !
dude is that layne staleys eye in that window on the alice in chains cover or whatever the hell it is? or am i just crazy! it looks like it.. but anyways this song is alright but kinda dragged out.. they are definately more heavier.. but sorry they aint shit without layne
I miss Layne to... But there is no denying this song is badass and yes nothing will ever replace old school AiC... But I feel alright when I pull up next to some punk in a V6 Mustang with Soulja Boy blaring and Im in my 95 Silverado 350 V8 blaring this song... Brings back the memories of the early 90s... hahaha
lmfao.....i hear ya there.....i'm diehard AIC.....but i def. understand what your saying.........ooooooo how i wish "someone" would bring back that hard grunge of the 90's. i like the "sound" of the song though..... . . . . sigh.....
these shit heads saying that this sounds old lol what afraid of some REAL music non of that shit that's on the radio, that gay mainstream bullshit mixed with trash hop and shit fuck that the good ol days are back this is awesome Layne will always be the best tho AIC for life
you dumb shit not old and played out moron shut the fuck up go listen to sum gay ass lil wayne or something fag good ol days does not have anything to do with dissing the music "SHITHEAD" why did you come back to listen to the song dumb fuck hahaha
Don't hate me for saying this, but having grown up in Seattle during the whole grunge era, and having listened extensively to all of those bands, I must say that this stuff sounds pretty old and tired.
im not gonna lie, im a hardcore AiC fan, and a huge Layne Staley fan, i mean huge. And yes I was dissappointed when i first heard they had replaced him with duvall. But honestly it's a good song. It hurts to say it, being a huge Layne fan and realizing that he aint gonna be there anymore. That's the feeling i get when I hear this song, but it's a good song.
I just hope the new fans get to know who Layne was...
well everyone said they wish AIC would come back...well here ya go ppl they are back AND BADDERR AND BETTER THEN EVER...NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP AND ENJOY IT
honestly it would be nice to have layne but they are doing it for layne out of heart and compasion andlove for music and the AIC fans. i love them i love this music. so yeah it feels good. they came back fr us true AIC FANS. we stand with AIC forever
I know, I know, Jerry wrote 90% of the songs, and it's a damn good song, it just strikes me as an almost Axl Rose type situation, except Layne would have certainly wanted them to be successful. It brings back hard memories is all. Hoping for a great album, and hoping for better harmonies in other songs!
Great song. Duvall can definitely hold his own while filling in for Layne. Got to admit, there are times when it sounds like Jerry and Layne are singing together like the old days, kind of creepy... and I like it. Great song, and I'm sure the rest of the album will be gold.
i hope this is not the best song off the album cuz its not as good as staley songs as of yet..cant wait to hear every song...hopin for more classic gloomy AIC tunes
Man I still cant believe this is AIC this is some pretty heavy shit for them. The guitar is sick..And Duvall is doing a great job he sounds a little different but not too much...If you heard the singing on the radio you would know its AIC which is good. But it seems like Duvall is not trying to copy Layne which is good. I have high expectations for this album!
While AIC will never be the same without Layne, based on this performance, if the rest of the album is like this, the fans should be very pleased. If they aren't, it's not fair to place the blame solely on William Duvall. NOBODY can ever replace Layne, and I'm sure William knows that more than anyone. Based on this song, I'd say he's a very competent vocalist who suits the mood. As long as his performance on the album is as consistent as on this song, I'd say this album is gonna kick ass!
Absolutely unbelievable. Any doubts about DuVall before this should not be completely eradicated, he's a VERY capable singer. Welcome back boys, I can't wait for this album.
OK im just going to put out the truth for the whole big picture, jerry and the band loved what they where doing, and when Layne died they could still hang out n stuff,but they couldn't really play together like the old days, for obvious reasons, (no singer) dont get me wrong layne is my absolut idol, his voice shines stronger than any star, he was just amazing all around, but the new alice in chains is just as kick ass as the old and will fits the void well, would you rather have no alice??????
