      One of the ONLY guitarist I have ever seen live and played his recorded solo note for note to the album....I don't think anyone does this, probably because they can only play it that good once....Jerry plays it EVERYTIME not only because he remembers it , he plays it like that because it is a fucking masterpiece note for note....he knows it....

    Jerry is a musical natural. He was born to create music. I, for one, am glad he kept going. I know Layne wanted that for him, and supported and loved Jerry's solo work. We have to let go of Layne and give him the respect he deserves. We also have to appreciate that Jerry, Mike, and Sean are still with us; healthy and passionate about what they have chosen to do for a living.
    Rock on, boys!

      @ASquared007 8 років тому +2

      SaltpeterTaffy No. My goal is simply to express myself. Whether others like it or not, well that's a bonus.
      However, in order to survive solely in the Music Industry, you have to 'play the game.'
      Music is just an intellectual hobby for me. I already have a career. It's just something I've always wanted to do.

    • @SaltpeterTaffy
      @SaltpeterTaffy 8 років тому

      So for you, "keeping the listener engaged" is the meaning of self-expression. I don't feel that way, myself. That just means making catchy music to me.

    • @ASquared007
      @ASquared007 8 років тому +2

      SaltpeterTaffy No. Perhaps I'm not explaining enough.
      There is a formula for hit songs. Certain things that all of them have. If you want a hit, you have to use that formula. I have researched this extensively. If you google hit song formula (or similar) I'm sure you can find the same things I did. That is what makes a song 'catchy.'
      Music in the right hands can control human emotion. It's actually quite powerful and has ties to Psychology and Sociology.
      I don't want to make 'hits,' I want to make music that speaks to people on a large scale. That is my personal goal. I will make albums (like the older artists once did) and will not succumb to the BS the industry runs on (simply cranking out catchy, meaningless hits).
      I have a sketchbook full of ideas. I just need to flesh them out.

      Yeah definitely, Alice In Chains got heavier with these last 3 albums. After Layne Staley died and they couldn’t rely on his voice, they went back towards the heavy melodic sound and stuck with it. I honestly don’t know if I like the new stuff vs the old stuff.

Yet I am still happy to find my brothers and sisters in rock here gathered in unity to pay homage. We may be faded but the string that binds us will never be still as long as the ancients' lines extend. Jerry may be one of those lines and even if he's not, he's worthy to be a new one. Long live the great gods of Music!

    The riffs on the new record are some of the best Jerry has written, and that's saying a lot considering he's been doing this for so long. It's so cool how AIC have kept their signature sound for over two decades, yet always manage to add something fresh to it. If you feel like checking out another band that has a truly unique sound listen to Pregnant Whale Pain. Their album is full of sweet riffs too, and the singer's been definitely influenced by Layne, and his vocal range is massive too.

    Duvall and Layne would have been badass together. This is probably my favorite AIC song. I grew up with AIC and Layne first. I was 24 when Layne died. This era of AIC is one of the best. Riffs, dark, and a stone to the face.

    I didn't like the new Alice in Chains for years because I didn't see how they could move on without Layne. After giving their three albums with William a real listen I can safely say that has changed.

      I didn't give it a fair shor either, because Alice in Chains is my favorite band. I had to let go of Layne though, and listen to the new stuff as it is. It's still great, and I like that William doesn't try to copy Layne.
