Hell, why not? I rarely stop to check the dates on the forums. Oh well.
But with that being said, I'll spill my guts a bit about Cantrell: He was definitely the definitive driving force behind AIC in my opinion. Listening to his solo work only made it more obvious to me of exactly how much Alice In Chains' sound was molded by his style. Granted, AIC was a mash of excellent creative minds, culminating in the kind of sonic monstrosity that it came to be, but Jerry's solo work, particularly
Boggy Depot, is really great. It's more subtle and bluesy, and in stepping in his own direction, I think he did something awesome, instead of trying to write music that would sound like Alice in Chains.
