Memnoch The Devil Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 One of the best bands ever, imo. Definately the best band of the ''Grunge'' era, though they weren't really a grunge band.Layne's sulty, Morrison-esque voice was the best part of the band. My fav song is ''Got Me Wrong''.

Forsaken Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Regardless of that, Layne's voice put them in a league of their own in the grunge era. Alice in Chains had a lot of metal elements in that band which made it awesome. Mix that with one of the most unique voices ever, you get success. Sad how things ended though, all the true greats die young. BTW, Alice in Chains will never be Alice in Chains without Layne, I doubt they even attempt to write new material with William DuVall.

Spoon87 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Amazing band, back in '06 I was crazy about them, that has vanished a bit but I still listen to 'em regularly.Their Unplugged concert is breathtaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bt88 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) I saw AIC with William Duvall and he sounded pretty damn good. Obviously no one will sound like Layne but he did the best he could. Jerry and the rest of the guys sounded tight as hell. Lets not forget jerry wrote most of the lyrics and songs since layne was too messed up most of the time. Given Staley's habits, this incarnation of AIC is the best we're going to get, and as long as Jerry is involved it shouldnt be too bad. I was skeptical as hell about Duvall but for any doubters I reccomend you at least check the new version of this band out live before you fully decide on themThis link has a very small snippet of some new AIC music, and its a really bad ass Jerry riff at that http://www.aliceinchains.com/blog.htmlThey do almost weekly updates of their in studio recording process. Given what bands forum we're on, its a nice 180 to see a band keeping their fans in the loop. Edited January 19, 2009 by jkruk88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estranged 16 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 alice in chains is fucking amazing. i just got into them really recently and i can't stop listening to them. i agree with the person that said layne sounds like kurt cobain and axl combined. he's got an incredible voice- it's so sad that he died so young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i'd rather AIC continue without DuVall, and just have Cantrell do all the lead vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
