Last Of My Kind 2010

[@-boba-9029]

william’s voice is unmistakable...you know it’s him as soon as you hear a single word. it’s truly soaring and his range is amazing. alice was great in picking him!

[@puppetmaster8551]

It also meshes perfect with Jerry’s voice, most of all they have incredible chemistry which is so important for AIC because of all the harmonization. Couldn’t have possibly added a better fit than him. RIP Layne but I’m so glad the band carried on, they still fuckin kick ass. Long live AIC

[@Gratefulman1965]

William reminds me vocally of Scott Weiland. When he sings “Last of my kind” I hear a lot of STP.

[@-boba-9029]

@@puppetmaster8551 I totally agree!!

[@-boba-9029]

@@Gratefulman1965 now that you mention it, I can hear the STP influence too

[@C013RA01]

As far as I am concerned, Black Gives Way to Blue is an awesome album, and deserves to be rated as one of their best yet.

[@puppetmaster8551]

One of the best comeback albums of all time.

[@withmygoodeyeclosed]

All of their albums are great, I think the Devil album is even better.

[@robphegan90]

Agree

[@austin2460]

Layne was fucking awesome but this new guy can sing his ass off. New AIC is actually really good.

[@ryanbishop3343]

KylesaurusRex good yes I'd even say great but, nobody is LAYNE FUCKING STAYLEY. Your sn is badass dude

[@liamsagucio61]

I don’t like DuVall very much… his voice is too generic imo and many people could have been chosen who sound a lot like him… I just wish they chose Phil Anselmo as their new singer because that would have been awesome. Phil performed Would with them for a reunion

[@criskatan]

@@liamsagucio61 There's a reason that they have Duvall. He comes from a military background, same as Cantrell.

[@KyleP133]

William Duvall does a really nice job, why do they ignore him so much on this video? I was skeptical at first too, but he's done a great job without trying to step all over Layne's memory. Let the guy have some spotlight.

[@DevlinMcGrath]

Jerry writes the dopest fuckin' riffs.

[@beserker1912]

I'm back again, still loving this after 13 years

[@hanstubb]

This tune right here is total BADASS!

[@rogergabb]

BGWTB is one of their best albums, no question! Layne was amazing, but he's gone and 3/4 of the band are still here and producing fantastic music. We'll never forget Layne, but like all deaths you have to move on. Keep it up AIC Merry Christmas Dudes!

[@carriemahoney9162]

love Alice in chains

[@cooliomon78]

In the past 16 months I've seen them twice and each time they were amazing. Hope to see them next year.

[@SpectorEuro4]

This sounds like something they would've done back in the 90s. What a killer song. I really love DuVall's performance here.

[@ToolFan68]

God that song has really grown on me. I fuckin love the vocals, and the wah and the drumming and the bass and the lead and the and the and the.....

[@AliceMudgarden89]

Definitely one of the best songs from BGWTB and overall an amazing Alice song. I was privileged to see them live in September of 09.

[@MsMetalMom]

My favorite song from the CD.

[@XRageMonsterX]

3:56 Pure soul, coming out of Jerry's face! You can tell he loves this song!

[@Its_justrocco]

Often imitated, Never Duplicated. Alice in Chains Rocks!!!!

[@brbosen]

A fellow fan just sent me this video and I already had it on my playlist. I love the sound here! This version might be my favorite one!

[@SummerDrive]

Thank you Alice In Chains for making another album and for touring! Love this video! Happy Holidays!

[@tadlewis2212]

Jerry’s guitar tone is so sick!

[@dal0768]

Today's bands don't even compare to these guys... RIP Layne.

[@melissamarrapese9147]

Love this song 🎤 William has a great voice 😎

[@fastback2]

Thank you for this gift guys!!!! Great show in Paris last year, I wish AIC will be back in France! Happy christmas to the band & to all AIC fans!

[@reverctw1966]

I loved seeing AIC in Boston this past summer....the sound of KICK ASS ROCK AND ROLL.

[@rumblefish9]

I wasn't a fan of this song when I heard the studio mix but this one live is even better! Mind blown!

[@turtleman6281]

Layne's gone RIP But there sound is still there Viva Alice In Chains forever

3:44 you are not alone

[@coryroberts7519]

Thank goodness for William! What a talent!

[@bbrucebarton]

AIC is the real deal, saw them in San Diego and their show was awesome!

[@kire299]

Killer song, glad they played it in one of the three shows i've seen. Seeing the material... BRING ON THE DVD!!!

[@DebbieCadbss]

One of my favorite songs from Alice In Chains, along side with Dirt and Nothin’ Song.

[@anissa1204]

Loved the video. You guys rock harder than anyone. Love you. Have a great new year.

[@Drpewpew]

Wuuuhuuu! After this song I'm definitely not still standing! I'm lying down from exhaustion of singing along!!

[@Metalrails]

Alice in Chains are the last of their kind. Love the energy in this video.

[@gounderusbyMichaelTomlins]

How is it that Jerry still BANGS and the guys actually MOVE, while James and the guys in 'Tallica stand still? i mean, Dave in Megadeth hurt his neck, so it's understandable - but the Alice guys are still one of the HEAVIEST bands,who are exciting to watch, and putting out AMAZING material! I am just sayin'.

[@jasonkasepchuk9583]

Great comment and well said I wish more people would pay attention

[@apex_bass]

I bet that if they had changed the name of the band when William joined, everyone would be saying: "Jeez, these guys sound a lot like AIC!"

[@thecosmicdramma]

Amazing album, the best of Alice, great tribute to Layne!!!

[@mstichweh]

You guys are the best band, I hope you pump out more stuff for years! Cya next time your in Tampa!

[@socialbox8092]

This is a band at the top of their game. I seen them in Glasgow a couple of years back. Phenomenal. So musically heavy and badass.

[@adrianbarajas6319]

Mike Tone is fucking unbelievable live. What a heavy gnarled sound

[@jeffreymerriman9660]

This song never got the radio play.Best song on the album.

[@puppetmaster8551]

Amazing song forsure, I think the top 3 in no specific order for me are this/private hell/a looking in view. All amazing songs. Albums as a whole is just a great one tho.

[@knowtheeself]

thank YOU for being the greatest band in the world! happy holidays!!!

[@SalandFindles]

From July 3, 1996 - April 19, 2002 when he was discovered dead, they waited for him to kick his heroin habit. He didn't want to. It technically is Layne's fault that they didn't have an album in 15 years. Hell, they couldn't even tour in support of their self-titled 1995 album. They hadn't played a show in over 3 years live from 1993 to Unplugged in 1996. Layne was doing Mad Season though.

[@AJeziorski1967]

Thanks and Merry Christmas AIC! Seen you guys play three times now with your new line up and I love it. Great new songs. William is a fantastic singer and performer. I won't go into the whole comparison thing - suffice it to say I have been a huge AIC fan since 1992 and I loved Layne. But I am so happy to have the band back now and sounding as good as they ever did!

[@BudTristano]

@rogergabb I couldn't have said it better myself. I miss Layne like all AIC fans, but for 2009/2010 BGWTB has been my favorite album by far, over any other band's release. I hope they keep going and release many more.

[@diananayeli88]

love them! Wish they do another tour soon, I would so love to see them again.

Great come back, superb new album! Congratulations!

[@maronmraymon9179]

My favorite album.

[@Gratefulman1965]

This band is doing exactly what Layne would be doing had the show been on the other foot. Moving forward after such a debilitating era is not an easy feat. Black gives way to blue is a damn solid effort by a band that almost died altogether. This album serves as a memorial as well as a testament to the vision that this band has always had. I am one of the AIC purists I’ve been a fan since the early days. I’ve known about this band a lot longer than most because I’m from The PNW. What Alice has done is pretty much what AC/DC had to do when Bon Scott died. I’m an AC /DC fan as well and I still don’t care for Back in black with Brian Johnson. It’s a great album in the same way Black gives way to blue is for Alice. I totally understand the purists when they say No Layne no Alice but for me, I have to admit they are still an incredibly dynamic group. With a lot left in the tank. I miss Layne just like the rest of you. I miss Bon Scott as well. I still listen to both bands because I’m a fan and that’s my choice . It’s tough to move on from disasters of this type but if the band(s) can do it than the fans need to find a way to hang on as well. 🎶

[@hollyhayes9640]

Jerry is actually their main song-writer; Layne only wrote 1 song by himself ("Man In A Box"). "Would?" was based on Andrew Wood (singer of Mother Love Bone), who passed away of a heroin overdose before the band got big, and "Rooster" was based on Jerrys' Dads' experiences the Vietnam War. That's why they still sound good, even now. 🤟

[@quiarahb]

Love this song! Perfect video gift I must say and I love the end They stay in high spirits and they allow their fans into their world! I Love it!! I just have one question: What is Jerry saying/singing at the end?!!!

[@PyckleRyck]

Thanks guys, glad to have been at one of those shows, and welcome back. Long overdue ... Hope 2011 has great things in store, and looking forward to some new material after you get a chance to rest and recharge.

[@crioulopower]

BEST BAND EVER!

[@themetalzodiac]

I've always thought that this song has a Megadeth-esque groove/cadence on the chorus. awesomely great song!

[@bokajaiz]

Holy shit!!! I really like it!!!! Welcome back AIC!

[@timlunn]

I love that song. And Alice of course!

[@j.o.n.a.s8163]

Melhor banda de todos os tempos

[@motorologist]

Ok, I normally never think live versions are better, but this one is for me. Three reasons 1. None of the horribly tuned harmonies that AIC suffers in the studio versions. To me all their studio version harmonies sound like they tuned each of their voices individually and then tuned them again when they layered them, so it's good to hear them live. 2. Cantrell's belting in the harmonies is something I will never get tired of, his voice sounds great in the upper 4th octave 3. DuVall's scream at 5:00 is incredible, even though it's falsetto it sounds heavy and is an entire octave above the near inaudible one in the studio version

[@Chimaura]

3:24 Unleash the madness guitar riff!

[@beserker1912]

alice in chains.........new live album please??? this is amazing........please.........just...........please. im crying at how good this sounds live. PLEASE!

[@shanejacobus]

@FamilyGuyFan62473 Well said. I'm definitely past the whole No Layne No Chains thing. Layne will always be my favorite vocalist and I'm happy to hear that Mike Inez says the same. But I welcome William and look forward to hearing more from him on their next album, especially after listening to this song.

[@Epinephrine512]

Fuckin love this band tell i die!!! Hope i can be as known and great as them one day!

[@lo9l223]

am i the only one who is in love with New AIC ?

[@puppetmaster8551]

Nope, all these years later and they still kick ass. Their peak may have been with Layne but they still totally rule, one of the best bands on the planet.

[@merchan5967]

I didn't like this song when I first heard it, but I must admit it's growin on me fast. Rock on AIC!!! \m/

[@BlackGivesWay2Blue11]

You got some stones posting something like that on an AIC page, I applaud you for it. I also have their entire discography, and Black Gives Way to Blue is my favourite album by them. That being said their albums with Staley were fucking magical as well. The still hold on to the same sound, but seem a lot more deep and sludgy now, kinda trans inducing. Old Chains and New Chains are both great in their own ways. Seeing them live, Duvall does Layne so much justice. Can't wait for the new album.

[@heatherfowler6468]

Last October my dad passed away from covid. My brother, his wife and me was getting our dad's funeral together. My bro asked if I wanted a song and of course it was AIC blue fades to black. It didn't happen, so almost every time I hear it I bawl my eyes out

[@zman0729]
