Alice in Chains touring

[CND]

They are booked to be in San Diego May 19th @ HOB.

The band is everyone except Layne.

I always thought they could continue sucessfully without Layne's presence. We shall see.

Think I'll go.

There is no new lead singer. My understanding is Jerry is the sole vocalist.

I agree. If they brought in singer from the outside that would be douche.

But I always thought Jerry was more than a capable vocalist.

Let's face it, how many people/bands/whatever reunite after ten years and maintain the quality status quo?

If you can think of one let me know. I can't.

i bet they can pull off a good show as a 3 piece.
it's such a shame, their vocal harmonies were so sweet

Re: Alice in Chains touring

when i was twelve years old cassette tapes were the coolest thing. i used to ride my bicycle all over town and look for tv shops. well i'd go in their dumpsters after they would close and take all the little speakers out of any tv's or stereo's they had discarded. what i would do is get these large cardboard boxes and cut holes out and put all these speakers in there. i'd secure them with twist ties or in some cases nuts-n-bolts. i had like 3 or 4 of these in my room each with about 8 speakers. it looked so stupid, but i'll be damned if my stereo didn't rock louder than my moms. i had all the Alice in Chains tapes back then. even some singles cassettes. wow. memories!

Re: Alice in Chains touring

I´m seeing them on the 26th of May with Tool.

My understanding is that they´ve recruited a little known guy as the main vocalist, but they will have guest vocalists, at leat in the european tour. They´ve recently done one-off shows with Phil Anselmo from Pantera and even with Maynard from Tool.

From what I´ve read in their site "european fans are in for a real treat". Well, since they´re playing with Tool here, it´s not hard to imagine that I´ll be seeing Maynard singing some Alice tunes!

agreed 100%. the guy had an amazing voice... one of the best vocalists for me. but still, if they come anywhere close, i'll go and see what they're up to now

yeah really...i cant even fathom hearing them without layne....although cantrell is an amazing guitarist....probably be worth it to just see him.

ab-so-fucking-lutely, it was the combination of the two that was so amazing

I hope the new guy is good, those are some seriously big shoes to fill

Layne was Alice in Chains. Without him it's just a cover band.

Jenks, I kinda agree with on that. AIC is a great & Layne was there voice but jerry cantrell was the mastermind behind it all. I don't know if I like the fact that there touring like this or not. If they would come around here I would probably go see them just for the fact. But it really does not give justice to what AIC really was at the time.
