[@puppetmaster8551]

AIC are iconic, they may not have been the highest selling band ever but they were one of a kind and extremely influential as well as being highly respected by pretty much all their peers at the time. A fuckin iconic legendary incredibly influential band is what AiC was at their peak and still are a kickass band all these years later

AlC it's been a long road. Pt 1 with Layne brings back a ton of memories. AIC pt 2 of the story - Enter William - is a talented version of the group. Really hard to say this but i think ranier fog could be your best work yet?? That's a tough one. AIC are worthy of an award there been a A list rock band time and time again for many years. Jerry is one of my favorite musicians I enjoy almost all his writing and support him as an artist. Seans drumming is one of a kind, mike and will fit and complete the circle. All the performances were fun to watch. I cried when i heard aics version of black gives way to blue the first time, just an amazing piece of music. Lilly Silver Cornell gave such a beautiful performance it touched my soul in an unexpected way. It reinstilled my hope in humanity. Thank u Alice in Chains and all supporting artists present in this video.

@@SeanTenney777 Even as a fan it’s painful, but imagine being Lily or Jerry or Eddie or any of these guys and having to deal with so much loss. To us they’re great talents and people we’d love to have known, but for them they were best friends, partners, fathers, sons.

[@kdub7195]

@@annzwalinski5952 Same here, Ann. I know Jerry gets most of the credit for Alice's sound and a lot if the lyrics. It's true, he was a huge reason the band made it. However, Layne made me feel the music. Like actually feel it in my soul. I tried to give William Duval and the group a chance, but the same exact songs don't grab me and pull me in like they did with Layne. My all time favorite performance is Layne singing Love Hate Love live at the Moore. That performance haunts me and always will. I'm so thankful I was born in the 70s because I got to grow from a kid to an adult in the 90s with the help of Layne, Chris Cornell, and many others greats.

They put their own spin on it and didn't try to sound like AIC. In my opinion, that's the way to cover a song.

As I watched Fishbone pick away at "Them Bones", my tail started waggin' as I realized that it was all the original members of Fishbone! ❤💚❤💚 They did a stellar Fishboned version of one of my fave Alice crushers.

I liked mark lanegan until I read his book and he talked badly about Demri Parrott. She had addiction, mental health and heart/blood issues and only lived to be 27. He should have left her out, man. Don’t bring up the dead just to disrespect them and sexually objectify them. Kind of a stupid, petty move.

Sammy Hagar had the best quote of the night: "thank YOU MoPOP for getting it right & recognizing this band". Knowing their donors would never be able to sit through a hard rock show, what better time than to hold a virtual fundraiser & honor one of Seattle's big 4. But honestly, AIC? They could've easily posthumously honored Nirvana, the most successful of the 4,. Or Seattle's altruistic darlings Pearl Jam, who have also had more commercial success. Or Soundgarden, the band that everyone had predicted would put Seattle's music scene on the map & who just lost arguably the greatest studio vocalists of all time. But no, they chose my band, who sang about drugs, death & despair and who lost 2 members to addiction. It certainly feels like AIC is always treated as the red-headed stepchild of the 4, but they've actually sold 30 million records - which is more than 'Garden - and their beautifully crafted harmonies set them apart from every other band. RatM's Tom Morello, who also added praise, said "it took me probably another 6 yrs after I first saw them to finally "get" this band". Thank you MoPOP for "getting it".

[@invaliduserid5807]

You got that right! I agree with you on every point especially about Chris being the greatest vocalist of all time. I'm not quite sure about what you mean when you included "studio" in that but either way, he could out-sing anyone. Layne is my favorite lead singer even though I freely admit that Chris was more talented. Layne's vocals were able to "reach me" a little better and when I was at the lowest point of loneliness, depression, despair, pain, anguish, and staring suicide right in the eye, Layne was there with Jerry, Mike, Sean, and Mike was there to give me a voice and make me feel like I wasn't alone in my struggles. I got more into Soundgarden later than them and found that they were also as cool and expressed many of the same experiences/feelings in their music.

[@drzal8553]

@@invaliduserid5807 No disrespect to Chris & that beautiful voice of his, but he couldn't always replicate those epic screams of his live and his voice notoriously couldn't hold up on tour, leading to many postponements & cancellations of shows. But in the recording studio, he was arguably one of the greatest vocalists ever.
