KeyserSoze Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 funny little article i found this morning: http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/alice-in-chains-singer-hasnt-met-axl-rose-yet/ According to The Pulse Of Radio, ALICE IN CHAINS singer and guitarist William DuVall told Flint, Michigan radio station WWBN Banana 101.5, a few days ago that despite opening for GUNS N' ROSES several times already on the band's reunion tour, he has yet to meet frontman Axl Rose. DuVall explained: "I have not met with W. Axl Rose as of yet, so perhaps that will happen over the next few days." He added that he understood why Axl kept to himself, saying: "I understand completely the desire, or need, to keep to oneself, particularly on the road when you’re a vocalist and you’re faced with so many challenges, and your instrument is literally your own body. I totally understand, but nevertheless, I hope it happens, at least say hello. I really admire the guy." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rocknroll41 Posted June 28, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2016 Classy and intelligent response. I really like William Duvall! He ended up being a really fitting replacement for the great layne staley. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 It's hard not to like Mr. Duvall. He had some pretty big shoes to fill, and he's done so seamlessly without being a carbon copy of Layne. Jerry found the one other guy out there who can harmonize with him just as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Great singer and much more live than he comes across on the records. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I like Duvall. Great guy and does Layne justice! That being said, normally the reaction might be "oh cmon axl" but the fact is they've probably had conflicting schedules, and whatever axl has been doing before shows is clearly working since he not only sounds great, but has been on time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadApples87 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Duvall is a class act and does a solid job for AIC. Axl, keep doing whatever you have been doing so far this year, because it is working great! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Malcolm Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I've met Duvall and he's a gent. Cantrell is cool too, but quieter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Really bad time to meet Axl, he's likely going through warm ups and last minute preparation which according to Axl takes time and silence. Hopefully Axl takes everyone out to eat at some point as a thank you for opening so many shows, and being respectful along the way. That might be a good way to meet him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD62 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I really didn't want to like Duvall because I didn't think anyone could take Layne's place. After seeing AIC twice in the last few months with GnR. I think he does an excellent job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unfortunate that Layne has passed but I'm okay with Jerry doing shows with a replacement. I thought they were pretty good when I saw them Vegas. Don't know if I'd shell out dough to see them as the headliner but I don't knock them for keeping it going. Duvall is up to the task and they have a decent catalogue. Why not?

ironmt Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I had the opportunity to see AIC open for Guns April 8th In Las Vegas and I thought they sounded very good. Duvall sounds like a class act and I am sure he will get his wish before the tour ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 William is the man. Love his shows and albums with the band. Caught his guitar pick at a show too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Too late he blew his chance. Alice In Chains are only here because of Duff and Jerry friendship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Inez played on the first Slash's Snakepit album so I think they're all chums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
