    Unfortunately this will continue to happen until Ticketmaster stop selling at 8 tickets per person for small capacity gigs. It's a joke.

    You'd have thought that basic common sense would determine that but I guess not.

    Hmmm im surprised this 'sold out' but its not sold out..i got tickets for 2 recent Olympia shows which were 'sold out' in the days before the gigs..just keep checking toutless and then ticketmaster in the week leading up to the show..they were some of the best seats in the house by the way clearly held back for the band/production..circle rows A and B. So dont give up hope just yet!

    yeah, it seems shows that are 'sold out' are actually never sold out

    Yeah it's a shame it never worked out and he had to go back to AIC name. Think I'd prefer a Jerry show with a few AIC thrown in as opposed to AIC without layne. Even though Jerry is the genius behind all the songs, the vocals were too much of it for me.

    I take your point, I love Layne too, but the stuff with Will is really good, I don't know if you have checked out Will era AIC but it's genuinely really good.

    That being said I'd love someday to see Jerry do a solo tour again, his solo stuff is amazing.

    Agree with all you said bar the Jerry is the genuis behind all the songs.Layne wrote a fair bit too and had lots of influence on alot of the best AIC songs.

    Will is obviously talented but not one post Layne song holds a candle to the stuff they did before Laynes passing.

    I really like BGWTB and Rainier Fog, but yeah Layne era Chains is the best, I could listen to Unplugged all day and often have.

    I just view them as a different band. I love the new stuff, Rainier Fog is class and the 3 albums they've done with Will are 3 of my favourites of the last few years. I'd happily go and see a show made up of stuff from just the new albums, funnily enough!

    Saying that, Layne Staley is one of my favourite vocalists of all time. He was utterly unique. One of the all time greats. It's fantastic that his music is still heard and still so popular.

    Oh I love the new stuff, but I'd imagine it's what Jerry would have wrote solo anyway, if ya get me. Actually Your Decision is playing now, would fit perfect on degradation trip. But the name was needed to make some cash I spose.

    All opinions I guess, I just love Jerry's solo stuff, he kinda proved he could do it all. I don't think we'd have a load of stuff from Layne in a room by himself, but maybe in wrong :) obviously he had a lot of issues with drugs too where Jerry had to finish songs by himself etc.

    But I love layne! And one of my favourite vocalists. And wish I'd seen him in his prime! Absolute legend.

    Need to throw on some Mad Season!

    (the liner notes by Jerry on music bank are a cool read actually)

    Must be rehearsing the run here as they've hit Dublin already which makes it a real shame they never squeezed in another show.

    Thanks very much! I'd only need the one though, if anyone needs a Belfast ticket let me know if I get sorted for Dublin, if that date suits anyone here better.
