Since AIC is in the studio now & Jerry Cantrell is working with William DuVall on the new Alice In Chains album, I was wondering if anyone here has gotten a chance to hear the new line up..they played some shows last year. I am most curious to know if DuVall sounds at all like Layne or are their voices distinctly different/.

I haven't heard anything, personally.

I don't have much of a desire to.

I am a little scared as well...hence my question. In my estimation, bands like AIC can't be interchanged in the same way that Jimmy Page disassembled Zeppelin after Bonzo's untimely death.

Jerry Cantrell is quite the discerning musician and I wonder how he is producing this album... guess we'll find out soon enough I think it's scheduled for 2009 release.

Hello, how are you?

Said many times before. DuVall is like 10 times cooler than Cantrell or whoever he was. Plus, he was in a much cooler band in Neon Christ.

DuVall >>>>>> Other guy

No one cares....they haven't been relevant in years.

That's right thank you for reminding me. They are almost as irrelevant as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, NWA, RunDMC, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, Hendrix, The Doors, The Beatles, and Elvis.

Thank God for the Jonas Brothers, Kanye West and Miley Cyrus to indemnify us from ever listening to irrelevant music again.

Well, I wasnt saying it to be a ****, i was simply saying that by now, no one cares, b/c they havent been relevant, or released anything good in about 15 years.

Shame on you for even putting them in the same sentence w/those other bands you mentioned. AIC weren't "innovators" or "Godfathers of grunge" or anything else someone will claim them to be. Just another, in a long line of bands, thay had their day in the sun. Sad to say that once their singer died, seems the band did too.

By the way, I wouldn't claim that Miley Cyrus/Kanye Waste/or the Jonas brothers have an ounce of talent, especially musically, in their bodies. I'm sure I'm in the minority saying that, but it';s true. Selling records to little kids doesn't make you great, nor does it qualify you to be a huge SS.

Nirvana going out and finding a new singer and calling themselves "Nirvana" wouldn't work, you know it, I do, and many who post here do. So, why try to re-create something you know won't work before you begin?

I did so what? I know they may not be "relevant" right now, or have been in some time, but their not coming out as "The Cure" with a different lead singer, and Pol is back, so it's almost the same.

I can say that i dont listen to too much current music, admittedly, so I dont know who's still "relevant" or not in this day and age. But, I do know that calling it AIC, when it really isn't, is a scam and the fans lose out the most.

As big of a Journey fan as i am, I refuse to buy a single thing they've put out, that does not have Steve Perry on it, why? they're nothing more than a cover band now. The fans lose out, and thats what's sad.

I didnt mind AIC back in the day, infact, I dug "The Rooster" quite a bit, but once they kinda got lumped in with the whole "grunge scene" thing, and people decided to move on and away from it, they sort of lost relevance. Coming back now, after all these years, with a new lead singer is fine, just dont call it AIC, as that means(in MY opinion anyways), that it's a scam.


Maybe not to you, but thats fine. Just voicing my opinion, whether you like it or not. I like alot of bands/music that arent "relevant" nowadays, no arguement there. But, I don't think it's a good idea to come back as AIC when you're not.
