Jerry, you have the force that NO ONE will ever take from you. Rock on Brother.

Alice in Chains with Layne = One of the greatest bands period Alice in Chains post-Layne = One of the most underrated bands period. The greatness is still there.

[@joshesky112]

One word - True!

[@10bighikes58]

I mean they've headlined Rock in Rio to 200,000 people post Layne so not sure how underrated they are

[@andrewprentice8857]

I recall buying the BGWTB album and preparing myself to hear a band that was on its last legs, creatively and musically. To my great relief, it was totally the opposite - the post-Layne AIC was every bit as good as the band we knew in the 90's. Every album of the William D. period is a killer, IMHO. So glad they stood up and carried on.

[@GT-um7so]

Jerry is an icon. Will always listen if he's in the band.

[@eatmyshorts3147]

Its still great without Layne, his name lives on

[@thevanishingsaxon663]

Will Duvall NEVER replaced Layne. Jerry simply took over lead vocals. But Will is definitely worthy of taking over rhythm and backup vocals. Alice in Chains is still greater than ever and Layne would be proud.

[@kimberlymegl5759]

no he wouldn't Jerry went out on his own His song I'll cut u in was Great u should have left Alice n Chains alone u r not Grunge U play a guitar woo hoo U judged Layne for doing drugs he could be higher than bird pussy and still know the pain of living in a soulless world its a big sin to covet and good luck he knew u were too ugly to be in a hair band ur ruining his legacy.

[@jamesthecat]

Last of his kind, you might say ;) This might sound strange, but sleep is a recurring theme in Jerry's lyrics, I think because he realizes how important it is. In recent interviews, this is his hard-won advice to the tired & emotional - go to bed. Sleep on it. Don't keep ruminating, overgeneralizing, or overdramatizing, even. Just wait out the storm until the skies are clear to, as the song says, 'fly'.

[@randalltyer5591]

Thank you. I agree totally. Yeah it's an awesome song, but you can relate to it to. It's like the 90's stuff, when Layne sang about his addiction, those of us addicted could relate and feel the lyrics and music. I joined the military when I was 29, late. Got caught up in the Iraq/ Afghanistan war. I mention that, because a song like this , really kinda discribes how I felt, how my life was, 2 years after I walked away from it. It was like the addiction thing, everyone was pulling at me. They knew I was having a hard time, but it's like they had all the answers, wanted to fix me, knew what the " voices in my head " were telling me. They had no idea. Only a song like this , that I can relate to, like the days of the 90's, struggling with my addiction knows what " the voices in my head " are saying.

He's no Layne, but DuVall brings his own style to the band while still keeping with the general soul of AIC. Few bands can make such a comeback without their original lead singer. I'll always miss Layne and the original AIC, but this new sound is amazing too, slightly grungy, but in a modern way. Plus, those harmonies! Fantastic. Kudos!

[@Krylo22]

AIC still sounds great, it's just the musical flavour is different without Layne. In that respect they didn't pull it off (getting new vocals) to the standard of Escape the Fate or Killswitch in my opinion. Layne was just on a different level. I love the new sound though, also the subtle reminder of Kurt and Layne at 2:20 is heart-wrenching. I'll continue to support these guys for sure.

[@bvierasan]

Different doesn't always mean bad. I think some people forget that, but to each their own! Musical enjoyment has a high level of subjectivity and I'm ok with that. I, for one, will continue to enjoy AIC as long as they continue to make more music. Their live show is also fantastic!

***** You don't get the powerful emotional voice of Layne, but you still have Cantrell's song-writing and I guess their sound haven't changed either.

[@soumyanildas9611]

***** I don't listen to their newer stuff, but from the little I have listened, I think they still have the metal sound about them. And of course their lyrics will change. Most of the songs well almost all of the songs Layne wrote was relating to his drug addiction. Cantrell's still writes great song as he used to but the vocals have obviously changed. No one can replace Layne, that's obvious.

I worked as a production assistant on this video :) True story - the band filmed the performance shots in a warehouse space in Paterson NJ, apparently they were on tour and had played in Montreal the night before. Dudes showed up around 5-6pm and we didn’t start shooting until about midnight. We wrapped around 3:30am. Now, I grew up listening to AIC, I love their music and was honored to be a (very small) part of the team here! But get this - the slate used for takes was on our production manager’s iPad and the playback also ran from said iPad through some wedges we had set up via 1/8” headphone jack. The iPad was his personally and the jack was very touchy, so I’d get the slate going for each take then gently place the iPad down but it kept going BLART! y’know, and making loud obnoxious noises the way a touchy headphone jack does, and, very understandably it was disruptive to the band. At one point Cantrell looked at me and in his best Teen Wolf “give me a keg of beer” voice he says, “Don’t do that again” and the production manager threw me under the bus and was all, “yeah, can you not do that please?” I’m like, “motherf**ker, this is your iPad! You know damn well this jack sucks!” only of course I didn’t say that or anything because I am a professional 😜But goddam I’ll tell you I would place a high wager that our production manager did not consider himself to be in the presence of personal heroes like I did...Mike & Sean hung around as we were packing up and they were both very cool, Sean gave me his drumsticks.

Loved Alice in Chains from the start and I'll never forget the very first time I heard / saw "Would". I was laid out on the couch from a sportbike accident. The song Would came on MTV well ahead of the album Dirt because it was a track for the movie Singles. The song instantly blew me away - The nebulous guitar somehow heavy and soft at the same time and then Lane's shredding high notes come slamming in - mind blown! I had my GF at the time going everywhere to find the album only to realize it wasn't released yet but fortunately someone knew about the Singles soundtrack (Get it if you don't own it - a lot of good songs and that CD) and I got my hands on it....From then till now its all history but I gotta say.. Dirt is probably my favorite to date overall and this Album is in a tight 2nd to that. Certainly my favorite with new front man, Duvall.

Will is a great addition. Loving seeing him in the band :) Layne will never be replaced, but Will is a great addition.

[@betteroffdead3012]

William is a great singer, and also a good point about him, is that he's not trying to sound or fit the Layne space, he's with the guys in the band using his own style, he knows he's not Layne, and I see that with a lot of respect to Will, that's the best part of him, the respect

[@therichardnogginproject9012]

Sucks

[@bmac4]

Alice in Chains is irrefutably metal. The only reason they often get called something else is because they came from Seattle around the Seattle-sound era and got lumped with some of their contemporaries. You can't tell me stuff like Stone, Dam That River, Grind, A Looking in View, is not metal.

[@jets8991]

I was worried when I heard they found a new singer. Gotta say this new guy does a great job keeping that classic Alice in chains sound

[@DubstepMagiic]

Uh, first of all I hope you're joking cause that's Jerry Cantrell who's been there since its creation cause he kinda fuckin made alice in chains and the harmonies you hear in older albums like Dirt and Jar of Flies and any other song of theirs when Layne was alive is him

This band has always had an eerie kind of sound and feel to their music. Great band.

[@biffmalibu9488]

Alice is still Cantrell. Layne added that great, distinctive, cryptic rock tone to the lead vocals which defined their early days. But Jerry is Alice in Chains. That's why William fits in because he augments Jerry's vocals and adds that second guitar during live shows. AIC is the modern day Zeppelin.

[@pepperhammill5226]

I've listened to this song over and over.. watched the video several times, semi sing along with it.. but just now noticed that at 2:20, they paid tribute to Layne with his picture on the shelf above the sign. Another reason why I have always enjoyed the band and was excited when I heard Jerry was bringing back Alice in Chains. Saw him in concert back around 2000 during his Boggy Depot days.. and gotta say, hearing those familiar Alice in Chains songs live, was probably one of the best concerts I had gone to.

You have to love at 2:20 the Layne Staley and Kurt Cobain's photos.

Well, there is also that "The real DIRT" article thing there. So Mike Starr should most definitely be on THAT picture. Wondered if that was Pearl Jam on the b&w one to the right. But nah, it's probably AiC again, as it's 4 people.

There's a richness there now, a feeling of the depth of an older man, with a whole lot of rehearsals applied...
