i saw alice in chains last night...

i dont know if there are any fans here, but i would definitely recommend seeing them. yes we all know layne staley is dead and cant be replaced. dont let that turn you off from going. the new guy is very good sounds a lot like layne without trying to rip him off. they play two electric sets and an acoustic set. pretty much every hit song and many many more. cantrell has still got it. and they are playing in small ass venues, you may never get a chance to see them again, you can find the tickets on ebay for half face value or just show up at venues and you wont have to pay more than face from scalpers. i think people arent really turning out for it because they think the new singer will be bad. honestly i have never been to a show where the crowd was more into it, just having a good time and singing along to pretty much everysong. hell they had been waiting years for this.

well all i can say is if you like the band at all go see them. . if not just let this die in piece:thumbsup:

I'd only go see em if layne was still alive.:(

like i just said, they play the classics, this guy would do layne proud too, he is respectful, and handpicked by jerry. i found two tickets for thirty dollars plus ten shipping. if you like the band seriously you are making a huge huge mistake passing this up. i am trying to do you a favor. there is even a nice layne tribute video. unless you arent a huge fan. honestly no one left that place disappointed i guarentee you wont be if should you decide to go. i hope you decide to go, but if not you may get another chance if they tour again.

edit: i actually think they already played all the canadian dates, but im not sure

They haven't come to my city, so I haven't seen em.

i see, they have already played theyre cnadian dates i think they only played in toronto or some shit. anyhow the tour dates are here even though i dont think anyone is interested

also you can read hundreds of reviews from fans there and see that i am in fact not the only one who was blown away

yeah. i love alice in chains. i would consider seeing them. even though it sucks staley is gone :(

I would love to see AIC. One of my favorite bands ever.

I've seen Jerry Cantrell in concert by himself, would be interesting to see the band with a new singer instead of Layne. I might have to check out some of those tour dates. :)

i'm effin jealous Alice in Chains is the shit

well anyone still considering going here is the set list from the chicago show i went to and i think they have been sticking to it. a lot of shit they hadnt ever played live before layne died.

I didn't even know AIC were still going. :p I LOVED AIC when I was growing up in the 90's, along with Mudhoney, Nirvana and Tad, and Soundgarden too.

Who's singing for them now though? I went to the site and I didn't recognize the new face, anyone know who he is?

william duvall. he is very very good.
