Alice In Chains...what's next for the band?

Necronomicon

So, after seeing an awesome display from the band yesterday, I must ask...are they back together for good now? Or is this just a temporary reunion?
Also, what's the name of the new singer? I know I saw his name around here before but I can't remember it. I thought he was pretty good!
So please, someone make my day and tell me that they're back together permenantly

William DuVall he is the lead singer with Comes with the Fall - http://www.comeswiththefall.com/

So who knows what will happen there ... but christ did he do the songs justice. Very hard to "replace" layne but he done a great job

Totally agree, he was really good! Them Bones was brilliant and he was great on stage too. They were supposed to be playing the tent so I was waiting around on the grass outside, all of a sudden I heard music from the stadium and knew it was them, cue me and my boyfriend legging it into the stadium! So I missed most of Them Bones, just got the end of it but it sounded excellent!! They must have been changed because Korn had pulled out. Hope they play their own gig soon

Limerick Dude

yes i would definetly go if they played their own gig. i was never a die hard aic fan like alot of people i know. but i was actually blown away by the performance, i just stood back and listened to some great stuff :-)

yep twas great, and he can play a bit of guitar too ..
40 mins was just way way too short though, so glad it wasn't in the tent

Limerick Dude

i wasnt timing it and it felt like 30 min!

I met William and Sean in Abrakebabra last night. I asked William whats next for the band, will they record with him and tour, and he said he didnt know for sure. He didnt look too confident about it either.

Sound guys by the way!

Numina

what was AIC's setlist? i didn't know they played them bones. also i remember from an interview a while back that they if they were to make some new material, they wouldn't release it under AIC's name

Bastard exams meant that I missed them, so hopefully I'll get the privilege of seeing them next time. I've got mixed feelings about them recording new stuff though, maybe I'm just being nostalgic and going against change but it just seems wrong for some reason. What if it doesn't sound like them at all? Anyone else feel this way?

Have some faith in God...I mean Jerry.

He wont release ****

i hope jerry doesn't shelve his solo album that he has been working on. I rate Degradation Trip Vol1+2 as one of the best albums i own. Not easy listening but very rewarding.

Im so very jealous of you right now. One of my favourite drummers and you met him. I felt lucky enough to see him though. i wanted to head to london to see them but its sold out now:(
