Wow. Heroin really changed layne staley's appearance
Josh Hubbard Laughed my ass off
Josh Hubbard Mmm gonna try some of that..
Josh Hubbard u dumb douche,diss a man who is dead and struggled with heroin addiction most of his life from being a teen 2 the time he died.RIP layne
Eric Wyatt Layne would have laughed! If you wish Layne RIP, use a capital with his first name.
Josh Hubbard He went through a reverse Michael Jackson
Nobody will EVER replace Layne. He had a gift from God. With that said, William Duval is an amazing singer in his own rite. He does this song and Layne's memory justice.
❤ concordo plenamente saudades do LANE STALEY
Agreed. ☮️
Acorda viuva
I mean, he had a gift from evolution, but go off, sis!
@@SalandFindlesyou suck
I literally have never listened to AIC without Layne before listening to this and I think this guy sounds great.
William Duvall is a great singer. Been with em for many yrs now.
Could not agree more!
Agree!
I felt the same. And that's cool!
I was just thinking the same thing lol 👍
he does extremely well, sad to see that just because he's not Laney, people reject him
The issue here isn’t that Duvall is bad, he’s not, he’s a good singer in his own right, BUT, you can’t replace a legend like Layne, so you really shouldn’t try. They should have started under a new name and made the new albums, then he would get the respect he deserves and AIC would have remained a pure masterpiece ended in tragedy.
I’ve seen this same “change the name” comment so many times with AIC, STP, etc. Those band names are brands that those guys worked for and dedicated their lives to. As Scott Weiland once said, “If a man goes down you don’t quit.”
It’s not him it’s the image the band has now with him. It’s nothing like they were in the 80s 90s. This song had people goin crazy. Crowd looks dead asf here
@@POTFULLOFGREENi was at 2 shows recently jerry cantrell solo and aic band tour and the crowd was electric at both shows, festivals are an extremely misleading portrayal because the people there are mostly going to see just one band and the rest of the bands are just extra things to watch
@@turns2ashes lol william has been in the band for longer than layne now, and the band has 3/4 of its members from when they originally broke up. changing the name makes 0 sense
I enjoy William Duvall's effort here. He doesn't try to copy Layne he takes his own spin on the song and it sounds pretty damn good!
TheKaneECO He kinda does both
Yeah, it was enjoyable.
Yeah he really is trying but the song feels like it’s missing something still. Layne was an amazing vocalist.
First time I've heard him sing it and yeah, he strikes a great balance. I'm pretty impressed.
I am just glad they got a new singer for them to keep going instead of just quitting the band entirely.
Jerry is the man trying to keep the band alive
Amen dude. Jerry is incredible. Provided me with so many good memories
jerry cantrell is alice in chains
Jefferson Araujo Why do you be posting idiotic comments?
He's not trying, he's doing it.
Xavier Sánchez ignore the ignorant. I think Mr Duvall is doing a great job. I will always miss, love and adore Layne, but should the band not do what they do best for the rest of their lives? That's for the trolls not you Xavier. These are big effing shoes to fill and he deserves accolades for how well he's doing it. I'm an old headbanger, long live ROCK!
Whoa! A dude in his 40s covering the songs that Layne Staley sang in his 20s and still sounding this good is a rarity. These songs require a lot of power and Duvall does deliver and does immense justice to this song. Whoever says Duvall sucks can really shove it. I can't think of anyone else who could've been a better replacement. Of course Alice In Chains won't be the same without Staley, but it won't remain this good either without Duvall on the vocals (or without Cantrell on the axe).
Wow! You couldn’t have said that better! I agree wholeheartedly with your thoughts!
So agree! He’s phenomenal!
Duvall is 57
@@l750z_6hes 56 but to be fair he was like 48 when the video released
Couldn't agree with you more!
I think William Duval deserves great respect, honestly
Jerry's a fucking work horse guitarist. He gave himself a lot to do. Rhythm and lead guitars, back-up vocals, and drool tube. I love that guy's style, too. He sounds just as good live as on the record; another rarity.
He truly is. Sounds amazing too!!!
Drool tube... Goddammit, that's too great. xD
Whenever I buy a talk box, I will refer to it as that forever and ever. Thank you.
Haha You're welcome.
And he is the lead writer too ;)
you're right. i saw them past year here in perú ... they blow my mind !!!! love AiC
I don't see why people have trouble with A.I.C. still making and putting music out. They aren't doing it for the money, they're doing it because they genuinely love music. That's one of many reason why they'll always be a legendary band.
Youre god damn right
Right! AC/DC was able to do it, why not them?
Duvall is one of the most underrated vocalists out there. It's not easy to sing another singer's song and nail itn
Layne had one of those one in a million unique voices and so many folks don't realize how hard it is to get THIS CLOSE to something like that AND to end up as the new singer for the band? Like the stars have to align for that sort of thing. Definitely underrated, super talented guy.
I lost my daughter 2 years ago to leukemia at the age of 21. She is irreplaceable and we miss her immensely. That being said, if I adopted another child, I would love him/her as if they were my own. I would do all the things right this time knowing what I did wrong the first time and learning from my mistakes. The same should go for William Duvall. He's not Layne but he deserves our love and support just as if it would still be Layne on that stage. I guarantee Layne would feel the same way and be honored to have his music still be played to the masses instead of dying off on the oldies station only. Jerry didn't reignite this band to replicate Layne.. it's impossible. He wanted to keep the memories alive and give you all the legacy you deserve. RIP Layne ...and William. I appreciate your efforts and you and Jerry mesh so well together. It still has that AIC sound when it comes right down to it and for someone that doesn't sound exactly like Layne, I still find myself loving the new music and allot has to do with Jerry's amazing ability with his harmonies. You go back in most songs and it's Jerry's voice that is almost instantly recognized because he was the backbone of the songs. Sure Layne was the catalyst that made them explode on the scene but without Jerry in the background it would be a totally different sound.
Duvall is incredibly talented. I’m starting to get more into the new music. I admit it’s hard listening to at first because everyone wants more Layne and we know it can’t happen. We have to appreciate what it is and if you don’t like it just listen to the first four albums. Either way they still sound great and provide us with more music
Beautifully written. So sorry for the loss of your daughter.
Srry man
I'm so sorry for your loss, I lost my pops over a year ago and the pain is something you learn to live with life is never the same.
Agreed.
Duvall nailed it. Carry on.
hes losing his voice all the time
Layne would have had no voice by this time. These are difficult songs meant to showcase a singing phenomenon who was in his early 20's. It worked real good back then. Duvall is OK.
Jugulator!!!!!!
No, he didn’t nail it
I love Duvall. No of course he isn't Layne, but this dude has grown into their lead singer, and he's awesome. Last two chains albums were great.
agree
How about Rainier fog?
It's not that heavy and dark than previous one, but I still like it
How about Rainier fog?
It's not that heavy and dark like previous one, but I still like it
@@Faks.09 Rainier Fog is their best since Dirt imo
"He doesn't sound as good as Layne."
1. He's singing with a different style than Layne did.
2. He's in his late 40's in this performance, whereas Layne was in his early 20's. Maybe a 47-year-old Layne would sound worse.
Theo Stadick what people don’t realize is that IF layne was alive his voice would sound like complete SHIT. It was already sounding very rough towards the end of his life.
Layne stopped performing in 96 which was many years before his death. If he sounded “rough” it was because he was completely addicted to heroin, not because of a lack of ability. No disrespect to the current singer, but Layne was irreplaceable. It’s a karaoke act now, they should’ve just moved on to other things, but it’s Jerry’s band. I don’t begrudge him for soldiering on. For you to come out and hypothetically state that Layne would’ve sounded like absolute SHIT if he was alive just proves that what YOU don’t realize is how completely drugs can destroy someone.
@@soonforget I think he means the drugs are the reason, he didn't mention anything about ability. You're a bit weird mate.
Dude, this singer is not Layne...it's simple like that...and that's why he will never sound like Layne. People who are not able to understand that and keep insisting on comparison of 2 completely different human beings, are retarded.
@@ANGRLLL Drugs are certainly the reason Layne may have sounded "rough" toward the end -- it can still be argued that he showed just as impressive technique as ever at the end (MTV Unplugged '96 was that end as far as I'm concerned).
Layne really showed how great he was -- to showcase such remarkable power and control without most of his teeth and an obviously fragile diaphragm.
Singing is actually quite athletic in the physicality that it requires , so anyone can imagine how a person SHOULD sound with such an emaciated core. In my eyes, Layne Staley seemed to defy vocal physics, at least in that particular live performance.
DuVall does a good job, the band is much different with him of course and it was always going to be no matter who stepped in.
the crowd needs to show some respect. when i saw them in 2019 the crowd was amazing. they brought him in to honor layne, not replace him and people need to remember that. he in my opinion is the best person that could honor him.
The crowd is so dead I can feel the smell of rotting flesh.
Grosu Cosmin Ionut. Frogs......snooty shits
Id give myself whiplash
so is the band
Enjoy the band not the crowd
Hahahha
Duvall did a pretty good job here
+Leonardo Pavon This is the first time a person with the same name as me has ever replied me :P
+Leonardo Pavon Its Leonardo :p
I agree! The energy they have with him is different, but it's pretty good!
He's way to nasally during the chorus though
You're just some angry fan that cant take criticism to their favorite artist
Jerry Cantrell, Alice in Chains ... thank you for the music.... and for being part of my generation.
It’s hard to listen to Duvall sing the old AIC songs from the Layne era because Layne was able to put out his immense pain into words. The emotions, holy shit you really felt it. That being said, he’s a badass vocalist and harmonizes great with Jerry. Layne’s gone. But I’m so glad that AIC has kept the music flowing. It was very hard for me at first but I had to step back and see that yes Layne is irreplaceable, but Layne wasn’t the entirety of AIC. There are 3 other members who made the group as well. Duvall got Jerry’s approval to move forward, and I think that’s all we need. AIC still fucking rocks you guys.
Christopher Bingham, Amen...William even got Layne's mom's approval. That means a lot to me as an AIC fan.
@@ryoamora8655 thats so cool
I agree 100%! It's took me a while to get use to Duvall even though he is doing a good job he still isn't Layne cuz I actually feel Layne's emotions in his lyrics(pain, anger, sadness, depression, etc. you name it) not so with Duvall(if any) but Layne is gone and all we have is what's left of him when he was here and cherish his good memories he will always be alive in our hearts. I honestly don't think I can capture the same feelings in DuVall's voice that I can with Layne nor he or any singer can ever replace Layne but Duvall is doing a very good job at keeping Layne's work, spirit, and legacy alive! Layne is a legend and legends NEVER DIES!!!
Dude does his best.... he's not the man but he singing "his" best
It was all about his life and what was going on and he wrote this song oh, that is why I'm angry they still singing it.
The problem is not Duvall being a bad singer, he is awesome and his voice is great, nothing wrong with him. The problem is that Layne was a god, his voice had every single element to be perfect. The power, the anger, the sweetness, so perfectly tuned, he was perfect for Alice in Chains, and AIC fits layne.
+IgnacioCC
Layne was a god, his voice had every single element to be perfect: YEAH!!!
+Karla Pippo You're absolutely right and unfortunely prodigys like him doesn't live so long :(
+IgnacioCC
I agree totally!!
+IgnacioCC what about Chris cornell
+Sheneiqwa Lapoots I think Chris is the 2nd best vocalist of the 90s, just after layne
DuVall did a hell of a job here! its not easy filling in these shoes.
Then why try? Give it up or change the band name. Call it "Al In Chains" anything but AIC. True fans no that's how it should be.
....so wrong...Duvall is nothing more than a Karaoke singer and could NEVER fill Layne's shoes!!!!!!!!!!!
Those shoes are way too big for the kid. He doesn't fit them, AT ALL
@@Speekies I don't know what you all guys are talking about. That 52 years old "kid" blew my brains out 2 days ago. You're missing big time, guys.
Layne is dead, you gotta let go, or keep listening to the records and let us enjoy the great lives the band is still offering.
@@lamiss8317 I went it was shit all washed up aic, korn, Megadeth what a joke I need my $$ back
Nice voice and power from William. This is not easy for nobody. This is the anthem. One of the best vocal works of the history. I love this song.
What all the haters/losers don’t understand is these guys know who they’re replacing and go out there anyway and perform …same with JM and Dead & Co
This dude is best replacement.
Such a great comment, and this is coming from a very old skool AIC fan. Anyone hating on Duvall needs to well.....set themselves on fire
+Jackson Gildart thats pretty low bro
Al G It's why I didn't respond dude. Well pointed out. Just another UA-cam idiot
Although in fairness to him he was trying to be clever. There was a certain level of intellect in the comment so I will take back "idiot", but it just wasn't funny, hence a comical fail.
Aidan Parle i agree with you on that part. for the longest i thought Jerry was fronting the band after learning about Layne's death,which of course was very sad an unfortunate. I'm only 20 years old,and I think it sucks that the singer of my favorite AIC song isn't around anymore. however I do like DuVall as frontman. it may be different but it's not bad.
Duvall sounds a lot like Layne Staley at times but still adds his own touch. It's good
Johnny Flame no. No he does not.
Mitchell Kidd Jr, uh, yes he does...When he wants to. Jerry said he didn't want a Layne clone, because Layne was one of a kind.
Agreed. He sounds enough like Layne that he meshes well with Jerry on the harmonies, but not so much that he sounds like a tribute act.
Case in point, James Hetfield is a great singer but when he tries to sing Would? with Jerry it doesn't sound good at all.
No, he doesn't. Not. At. All.
Mitchell Kidd Jr the amount of likes on this comment section shows the truth... so gtfo dude
i really love william’s energy! he has a great voice too!
Dude this performance was amazing
I just noticed the initials on the drums.
LSMS
Layne
Staley
Mike
Starr
.....*facepalm* derp! obvious. Surprised it took me a few minutes to figure it out.
Yeah, I love the fact they have LSMS on the drum kit. Nice to see Layne and Mike remembered!
fuckin awesome isn't it!? love it.
Made me tear up
Holden_D_Znuts shit I didn't notice that , thx
Gregory Chuhta e see see see
Dude, when did lenny kravitz start touring with AIC?
Who cares? Lenny and AIC are both badass!
Peppa de juguete
Ryo Amora u completely missed the joke bro
@@jayking8767 Fuck Kravitz. This is real.
LOL
I have respect for William, he will never be Layne but he is himself, he is William, he sounds great!
I love how much fun Duvall is having, while all the other peeps looked outright pissed. But seriously, what are people's opinions of Duvall? He seemed to do a pretty good job there, but Layne's voice was that of a gods - it's impossible to compete with that.
He sounds great!!!
mike loder Not as great as Layne!
(Rolls eyes) Great in a different way. Holding it well. ;-)
They have different voices, you can't compare them.
I'll never understand why people hate on Duvall. I guess some people can never accept that Layne is gone. Duvall is the perfect follow up, he has a similar range as Layne but has his own unique style, meaning the band can retain a similar sound without trying to replace or replicate Layne. We all wish that Layne was still here fronting the band but Duvall is a great vocalist and I haven't yet heard a better fit.
this song is so hard to sing. He nails it.
No one can ever sing like Layne but this guy does a good job!!!
Layne Staley ain't dead. he's my next door neighbor actually. Lol no but in all seriousness my neighbor looks just like Layne in his 40's
I always thought my drug dealer beared a minor resemblance to Layne in his 20s. Right down to the goatee.
Philly Phan don't be getting my hopes up baby
Please send a picture of your neighbor who is a Layne Staley look alike
Philly Phan Is your neighbor single? 😂
Philly Phan plot twist: he is layne staley
DuVall: I have fucking goosebumps. What a voice. I miss the hell out of Layne. I saw them in the bay area with Layne. IT was PHENOMenal... I am still a fan. Top ten of favorite 90s rock bands. Keep playing. Please. Keep touring. Please.
I'm in love with this handsome man's voice and charisma. Great to see him as the lead singer of this epic grunge band.
If anyone has anything negative to say about Duvall, just keep in mind that Alice in Chains is NOT your band. When Layne Staley was alive, it was the baby of Layne, Jerry, Mike and Sean. When Layne died it was still Jerry, Mike and Sean's baby. They get to decide its fate. They knew Layne Staley and it was their decision whether or not to keep the band going and move forward. I'm SO glad they did.
So the only people who can ever have an opinion on a band are the members? You've never had an opinion about a band?
If this was the only version of AIC that you knew and you saw them live, I don't believe you would be in the least bit disappointed. I saw them around this time last year and took it as a completely separate band from the early incarnation and it made the concert much more enjoyable not sitting there comparing every song to the original. Very good band in their own rite. Great job! If were truly honest anyway, Jerry is really the genius behind the music and the band anyway. He was the main songwriter and lyricist. So there you go.
Chris J Layne had the soul and charisma.
But time goes on. And I'm satisfied to know the band still exists.
+Chris J never compare :) even though i love the old times :) i can't say he is a bad "care taker" :D
AIC all day everyday :D but i can say the sound is bad .. i blame the soundguys
+Skeeter skeet + Chris J......Jerry is seen as the Genius because Layne was the Muse, and is no longer here to defend his case. Granted, he had a serious drug problem that caused all kinds of devastation to all people in the cone......I'm also very happy that AIC continued after Layne died, but Chris is right.....They are a different band and we should treat them as such...bury your dead, but don't forget them.
Yep.
Am I the only one having a hard time coping with Jerry's short hair?
The sound is awesome. I'm willing to overlook the hair.
Outstanding sound!
+Jason Rausch Well you're not exactly Rapunzel.
***** What the hell does my hair have to do with my comment about Jerry?
Friends don't let other friends get haircuts. Remember that on the guitar? Oh well.
William was a perfect singer that Jerry was looking for, he sings it his way....Keep Rockin2021
Excellent performance - as I'd expect from AIC. I've seen them three times since William Duvall joined, and they never disappoint. I just think it's a pity that some people refuse to see how brilliant Duvall is .. I realize that it's mainly because they loved Layne so much. I did too, but come on!
Stepping into those shoes was a tall order for any singer, and Duvall has done a spectacular job of it, treating Layne's legacy with respect while adding his own talents to the band in a way that still leaves the band with its own, unmistakable sound. He's helped them deliver three excellent albums and consistently brilliant live shows. He's more than proved himself. RIP Layne - keep it going Jerry, William, Mike and Sean.
He got better over the years and I think a worthy successor to the original vocalist.
Say10LuvsU well I would say the reason I liked Will was simply because Lane made such a terrible choice , so why would I hate a guy who actually was with the group , he was playing rythm guitar on tour while Layne was alive, so Will was there when the group was still together even with Mike Starr . This would be like hating Brian Johnson of ACDC , Bon Scott kicked the bucket , no one threw him out , Layne wasn't thrown out etc etc etc . So oddly I was able to accept Will easily and hate heard him in a vdeo of Neon Christ where he was sitting in as lead singer from them also and did a monster job at it ! Strangely I said to myself , this guy could stand in for Layne if the drug problem takes his life and " low and behold " it did and Will was already on board with AIC while on tour !!
It seems like Duvall can do a " LAYNE " impression but seems to move away from it more than I would really like but I believe Jerry wants to get past the LAYNE sound a bit ! I believe this may have something to do with a law suit that Jerry is having with Layne's mother who keeps asking for more money , as Jerry has given here 700k and the rest is being held in trust for the kids and the mom is busting his balls over it , go look it up , I was unaware of this myself
Say10LuvsU true i think if more people actually knew that Jerry wrote most of the music they would be more accepting
sab287Leporidae Layne was a god but Im glad they aren't trying to get the same vibe with Duvall. Trying something new. He has just enough a layne but there is difference which I dig
This isn't the same audience from the 90s. The audience for AiC in the 90s were all crazy, high, drunk, and naked and they were JAMMING. When Staley left, I think the fans who connected, had that bond with AiC left, because the old fans were the outsiders, the drug addicts, people who could actually use this music to get through their lives. Now the fans are college kids and parents... Nothing wrong with that its just, the music used to be something for the below average guy who has problems, not the soon to be doctors...
Kane Chitty I think they are one in the same crowds. The soon to be doctors partied just like everyone else did. My son was graduating collage when AiC was near their peak and he was right in the middle of it all, but he graduated collage and made more money his first year than I've ever made. He still drags out his party cloths and makes a quarter mil a year. They said the same thing about the guys who went to see black Sabbath when I was a little more relevant but you can go into board rooms every where and those guys know all the tunes. Music is something that draws the young and influenced them to do what ever the rebellion of the day is and then they grow up but still listen.
***** I can agree with some of that 👍
TheWoundupWierdo What I'm saying
Kane Chitty The others will never understand, well said.
wefgwegwe wegweg I thought I added that in there too
He had huge shoes to fill and didn't do Layne a disservice while bringing his own flair. Bravo!!
Being how insanely hard this song is and how much power it demands of the singer you gotta give it to Duvall here for a damn good performance
People still crack on William but comeone---who really wants to try and step into replacing layne Staley for AIC? He does a great job. Nobody can replace Layne in my opinion,but we still have AIC because they went on and to be truthful,they sound good.
wow! im totally impressed! ALICE IN CHAINS. Live!!! 2014
they are still together!
Super!
Go see them next time they tour if you can! Sound the same, if not better live
I saw them in August. I am still blown away of how good they were!
sherry acdc minimum
You can't hate Layne's replacement. He is good at his own terms. Sounds good
Yeahh he actually sounds very good
William Duvall is a fully fledged singer songwriter
Here, incredibly walking in such impossible shoes
O Grunge não morreu mesmo!
Jamais morrerá!
Viva o Grunge!
Viva o Rock!
Viva a música de qualidade!
Música de qualidade não tem prazo de validade!
Layne is gone; forever in our memories of youth! This guy did a good job! Glad to see they are still performing!
It has to be very intimidating to step up to the mic and try to sing this song. I am glad it is soo hard and impossible to replicate. Makes me appreciate Layne soo much more. Duvall has allowed us to see and hear AIC live again. I will always be greatful to him for that. Duval does a helluva job!
William Duvall is actually an amazing replacement. Love his way of adding his touch to the song
Fight me.
miss you Layne ....
Jerry Cantrell really does kick ass, who really cares about his hair getting cut shorter? it looks better that E vedders hair getting cut shorter, no one said anything about that anywhere I ever read!! Jerry's got a lot of talent and had to go through lot to keep the band together through the years.. Not saying The Void of Layne wont always be noticed bc it will be always noticed and Mike S. too! RIP Layne and Mike!! Keep kickin ass the rest off you guys!!! AIC \m/ \m/
people were pissed because Jerry's hair is epic.
Thank God these guys got back together again.
Takes big balls to try and fill in for Lane…but this guy does an admirable job.
This new singer is great. Fantastic voice.
At least you tried.
William sounds great,,,,glad Alice is still performing,,,,,Layne was a true legend,,,,,
I went and saw them probably a few years after that concert and the lead singer definitely stole the show. Jerry played the guitar like a beast, but his vocals were shot, probably from touring.
He's just trying to sound like the record, as much as possible. He had some big shoes to fill, and he fills them well. If he sang the songs differently, it wouldnt sound like recorded version, and he'd catch even more BS from the 'fans'. No one can ever be someone else. Enjoy the music, and be glad we are blessed enough to still hear these songs live.
With all of you making comparisons between Staley and Duvall, I have to wonder what Layne would sound like today. Judging by how poorly Chris Cornell's voice has fared after years of alcohol and prescription medication abuse, do you folks really think Layne's voice would be anywhere near as crisp as it was back in 91-93? Especially taking in to account how much of a junkie he was (not trying to insult the guy, just being honest) and how demanding these songs are. So, to those of you who keep saying Duvall sucks, I'm pretty sure if Layne had lived, Duvall could out-sing him any day.
If Layne were still alive, he would have sounded better than you or any Layne trying-hard wannabes. He was pretty fucked up in Unplugged 96 but damn he still reached the high notes. You single out Chris Cornell like he was the sole definitive example of a washed up 90s vocalist. How old are you man? Have you actually listened to all the other 90s rock bands or are you just familiar with the big 4 "grunge" groups? Okay, if you really want an example, listen to Mark Lanegan, he was and is still an addict, he still plays live and will rape your ears...violently.
They should have disbanded after Layne died? I am not against Duvall or them playing AIC songs but it just isn't the same. Many of those songs are intense and convey a pain that could have only be felt by Layne Staley. That is part of what makes their music so gawd damn good. Duvall is awesome and musically there is nothing wrong at all but it just is not as moving as when Layne did it.
***** Exactly.
Lenny Carter Lanegan gave up all the drugs, the guy is healthy/clean right now and his performances are amazing. He's at peace with himself these days.
People have to keep in mind that they're comparing Duvall in his forties to Layne in his twenties
First time I ever heard Alice was when I was 16 in 1990 sweeping the floors of the cabinet shop I worked at. Man in the box I stopped what I was doing and just listened. It was THE BEST music I had ever heard. I wore the facelift cassette out then bought the CD which I cherish today.
William absolutely killed it
That was freaking kick ass awesome....
Jerry still jammin....
The band was just brilliant & I got one thing to say -
I KNOW LAYNE STALEY WOULD BE SO PROUD!!!!
I love how William does not try to be just like Layne but he can jam out those AIC songs really well... RIP Layne, we miss you
smokymountaingirl Betsy ummm Duvall grew up in DC. He said so 2 months ago when I saw AIC in DC
@Jerry Cantrell Hi there! Great meeting you! I spend lots of time watching your vids! Love you man! ☺
@@williamseifert169 oops! I have no idea where I read Duvall was from GA? My mistake!
@Jerry Cantrell Oh yes of course! What a beautiful surprise!
@Jerry Cantrell I live in Macon GA but will soon be going home to my cabin in NC Smoky Mountains.
WOW, it's almost like Seattle in the 90's again.
William Duvall sounds great! Layne will never be replaced but William will do! Great job my brotha!
William did an incredible job on vocals!
The lead guitar was great too!
This guy has a good voice! I like his energy as well!
I believe Willian does a perfect job and hits a soft version and some times higher notes I love but Laney’s vocals are just perfect, powerful and elegant.
With all my respect and love ❤ for the hard work for musicians(I’m one of them).
Layne Stayley's own mother gave William Duvall her blessing to carry on the band, that alone supercedes any sore or bitter fans who cannot accept the passing of the torch. I understand that disdain and reluctance, but you're outgunned, Layne's MOTHER approved of this man. Sit down and rock the fuck out and be grateful Layne is being honored by his bandmates and a talented vocalist who respects the fact that he came first
This is so good, I'm happy that we found someone able to compliment Cantrell's voice
Jerry Fulton Cantrell, Will be the main driver of Alice in Chains... Always !
AMAZING performance, thank you
There is no one like Staley. Suffer, pain and despair makes the best music (and art)
Any body on here commenting on Duvall not being Layne, let’s see you go up and do better. Appreciate the fact this music is still alive and that Duvall had the balls to step in big shoes and realize he was gonna get hate.
As an old school Alice lover I'll be the first to admit that Duval IS a worthy replacement for Layne. I love the new sound. Jerry is the workhorse of the bunch, does most of the writing and more of the singing than most people think. Oh and as a bonus, Will can play a pretty mean guitar. I love the new Alice.
This actually is the best cover of “Man In The Box” I’ve seen. We all know that no one will ever be able to sing it like Layne, because he was one of a kind really - no point in mentioning it again. But Duvall hits all the right notes and tones. They sound very good! We will just have to keep in our memory the original version with Layne - the videos I’ve seen, the raw power and soul of that voice - man there is not and never will be another one like it. Not even Chris Cornell’s high and screaming shrills cause me to feel what AIC’s music with Layne makes me feel dude. And Chris Cornell was one of the other greatest voices of grunge/metal rock. Such a shame Layne is no longer with us - what else is there to say. Guess we can only enjoy the music he left for us during his short time here. That goes for Chris Cornell too.
no one has the raw power Layne had in his voice , impossible to fill that void
Big energy. Great song to start your day ❤❤❤❤❤
What a band. We are lucky that they keep Rocking. DuVall is awesome.
Gotta admit, Duvall does em justice
Layne Staley IS the man he sang the songs as if he lived the the lyrics like they were memories I'm glad AIC is still going in some way it's a tribute to Layne Staley and ther doing a great job Jerry Cantrell's voice is awesome for some reason you'll always hear Layne in all AIC music...
This song is still awesome
Nossa O Jerry Cantrell ta uma mistura do James Hetfield com o Edward Norton kkk Toca muito adoro essa banda o novo vocalista e muito competente! Vida longa ao bom e velho ROck do AiC!

Juro que olhei 2 x pra ver se não era o James
Bands change guitarist, bassist, and drummers right and left and no one complains other than the hard core fans or when the player is notable. Vocalist tend to be the bands front man with very few exceptions, and are associated with being the leader of the band, and that could not be further from the truth. The people who originally record something are indeed the originals and the guitarist are the ones who invent the licks we hear on a recording, the bassist create the bass line, and the vocalist determine all the inflections and overall sound of the vocals. Anyone who replaces any of the band members do one of two things, they either copy what the original did, or they do it their way. Rarely does a band allow a new member to change the way a sing is done because fans want to he's it the way they know it. Guitarist licks are as individual as is a voice but no one ever complains about them and I have no problem with Duvall covering the vocals and he copies it well.
What a great live recording.
I have only recently discovered AIC despite being a grunge fan in my youth. I listened to a few grunge bands but somehow I missed AIC completely and I can't believe they passed me by. I think it must be because I knew of Alice N' Chains who i knew were glam metal. I had never heard them as glam metal was was never really my thing hugely.
I've been listening to AIC pretty solidly for a few days now and Layne has been blowing my mind. My first song was Man in a box (live at the Moore) and I was instantly hooked.
I know DuVall gets some shade for essentially not being Layne but I gotta give props to the guy. He's not trying to be Layne and does an incredible job in my opinion. It has a slightly different feel but it's bound to because he doesn't have the same experiences / emotion as Layne in regard to the subject matter (or Layne's particular vocal gift in terms of its sound / feel.)
Layne is irreplaceable so I don't quite know what people expect from others but I think they found a great talent in DuVall who does this song justice here. There are few who could do the same. Just my opinion and I appreciate I'm a beginner in terms of AIC but some people need to give DuVall a break. How many could say they can do better?
Sad Laney gone too soon but glad to see them keeping it.
I saw them with Duvall in Bilbao, superb performance. I cannot think of a better singer for AIC these days.
This theme should be paced up a bit when live tho. Jerry is a top notch musician btw.
He’s definitely not Layne, but Duvall is definitely an amazing vocalist who deserves a lot more credit than is given to him
Keeping the memory alive of past members with the Reso head on Sean's bass drum.. LSMS! Sean and Jerry both were a constant favorite players club for me and still are! Awesome they are still going
The only problem i have with Duvall is that he can't hit those high notes like Layne used to but otherwise i have no problem with Duvall.
He can hit them, it’s just he doesn’t have the power to project his voice loud enough and to add vocal rasp to make it sound like layne
Layne didn’t sing the notes he just scream.
Jim Kelly agreed...
Izaan ur rehman yeah you’re right. He just added this raspiness that was so badass.
Layne couldnt hit them consistently either.
Agora sim, um vocalista a altura da banda..........
Porém muito abaixo da qualidade vocal de layne
@@SPFC_O_SOBERANO layne não tinha qualidade, só potência...no máximo....
Glad.
I loved Layne as much as anyone here. RIP Layne you will always be missed, for many reasons......
I'm happy they as a band have moved on from his his death.
It makes me glad that they feel comfortable playing songs that Layne used to sing.
I for one love the band that you have become despite all the challenges you have to overcome.
Thanks for all of your new work.
I appreciate that these guys are still having fun. If their fans are is another matter.
