William DuVall: new Alice In Chains singer

Yeah I agree with you. And as for "relevance", Alice In Chains with Layne Staley put out great music and I will keep listening to it because it is good. Good music is good music no matter how old or forgotten. Just because a few people on here don't like Alice In Chains, that doesn't make the band irrelevant. Maybe for them, but not everyone.

As for William Duvall, I don't think you could entirely call the band with him Alice In Chains. The Layne Staley Jerry Cantrell corabo WAS Alice In Chains. Layne Staley's unique vocals + Jerry Cantrell's guitar genius and knack for song writing is what made them so great and different. I wouldn't mind going to see Duvall but i wouldn't say I went and saw an Alice in Chains concert, I would say I saw Jerry Cantrell and William Duvall's band perform some AIC songs.
 
I may well agree with you, you just arent giving us much. I think for the sake of this argument its not entirely ridiculous to recognise some similarities.

Personally, and I think it looks as though Janszoon shares this opinion, I think its a little unfair to criticise Jerry Cantrell for keeping the AiC name going just because of Layne Staleys death. Had he hired a replacement the following day and gone about business as usual then I think that would be disrespectful but after quite a lengthy hiatus I dont see anything wrong with deciding to continue with something that was just as much his as it was Staley's.

It may not be AiC due to the fact that I happen to agree with you, AiC WAS Jerry Cantrell and Layne Staley, they could replace the other merabers a thousand times over and it would still be AiC but take away one of them and it's probably a good idea to discontinue the name. At the very least keep the remaining merabers together but rename the band. However I also think that if thats what he wants to do then fair play, its his right, and who knows maybe they will deliver.
 
aic wont sound the same and now i hate them. i listened to them because of layne's amazing voice...not because of the music really. but what ever man. william i think is a really bad singer they could have gotten someone better. i know its jerry's choice and i know he has the power to do what ever he wants for the band its just not right seeing aic without layne. thats all.
