I saw this lineup live and they were great. It's no use pining for Layne anymore. He's gone, sadly. It was still great to hear these songs played by great musicians.

It's a shame Lane Staley died, but seriously, you have to admit that William Duval did great on this one...
This is a DARK song. Layne was dark - Duvall should be fronting a glam band. He has a great voice - but it doesn't fit the tunes.....
8 лет назад+26
I agree with you, but how does it change the fact that Will sang incredibly well on this one? I certainly prefer Layne over Will, but I also liked this version very much :)
Great cover. That's all IMHO. It does't have the same emotion like it does just listening to the both of them back to back. The Mtv unplugged version of Rooster was unreal. How Layne has that growl in his voice and his damn vocal range put him in the top 10 even maybe top 5 greatest front men of all time.
I was broken hearted when Layne died, then William joined and was not happy. After this rendition...Mr. Duval, you are carrying the torch...and made us AIC fans so incredibly proud, and consider you a true member!
We were all devastated when Layne passed, it was no needless. It was no easy decision to either end the band permanently or take a break and resume with another vocalist. I’m glad they resumed the band.
Don't know why people are being so disrespectful. Layne is gone, and the other guys want to carry on playing. This is a really respectful and technically amazing performance by Duvall.
Damn. haven't really been a fan of Alice in Chains since the passing of Layne but the new vocalist really did a fantastic job on this one. Will have to give them another chance.
mountaingoat1003 the post Layne stuff turned out surprisingly well because Jerry has always been the genius behind AiC, he’s the one who wrote the large majority of the music and half the lyrics when Layne was alive. Layne was amazing one of the best singers ever but he gets too much credit for AiC from a lot of fans, Jerry was and is the mastermind. Jerry is an all time great songwriter and even when Layne was alive wrote a bunch of lyrics to some of their most famous songs
i mean he isn't tryin to replace layne, hes a fucking bad ass singer in his own right though. and he looks cooler than layne playing guitar. a lot better at it too.alice is still doing a lot of high quality work.
This song is proof that Alice in Chains was always bigger than just Layne or Jerry or any individual member of the band. The music is bigger than all of them and even if they lose a member, the music will never die. I listen to this and I hear something greater than any one person. Alice in Chains forever.
Couldn't have been more well said. They sound amazing. Of course Layne would be great to still have but his spirit is still in the band. That's what matters
Wow, at 4:27 i could have sworn that was the spirit of Layne kickin' out that scream, sounded just like him. Impressive! nobody can EVER replace him, but the soul remains!
honestly, this guy does a great job...it's always gonna be an impossible task to fill the shoes of such an iconic, unique vocalist and a lot of the time it doesn't work out but this guy just does it with his own personality and style...he doesn't try to be layne and I think that's a major part of what makes it work so well for me
For all the loss and pain this band went through, I'm really glad they found Duvall. Every interview I've seen or read of him, he seems like a humble and good guy. He's the guy this band deserves and he does not disappoint. This sounds incredible.
The remaining band members decided that they wanted to continue AIC, even though Layne had passed. That is their decision, and nobody else can talk shit about that decision. They chose Duvall, and honestly, Duvall does an outstanding job.
Hearing Alice in Chains with William Duvall instead of Layne is kind of like seeing your mom with a new boyfriend after she divorced your dad (or he died). You don't like him at first, but once you realize he's cool you start to come around.
Carlos Santino We are all sad bro. It's a fucking tragedy... You'd expect that we would all forget about it after so many years... I fucking miss 90's...
William Duval, from the little I have heard is a versatile, accomplished singer, hope he sticks around for the duration! Lane Staley, your songs are in good hands brother
Hes a bad ass singer in his own right!! With lots of soul!! Hes bringing in alot to the band!!! Replacing a lead vocalist who his legendary is almost impossible. But Alice in Chains has done it. Very few have like ACDC. But I think he is amazing and brings a whole new sound to the group.
Dude I'm late to the party but it's funny that there are still people hating on William because he's not Layne. Or he's a try hard to impersonate Layne. William Duvall is William Duvall he has his own style he doesn't try to replace Layne. There are 14+ years since he is in Alice in Chains and everything turned up great. William is a great singer. Layne was a great singer and people should just let him rest in peace. He is singing in heaven now.
no one can replace layne but william has proven himself worthy to be on this band. he is giving these old songs a modern vocal sound while keeping that dark, haunting flavor that we love about AIC
Couldn’t have picked a better replacement for Layne. We all love Layne tremendously. I feel like William protects the integrity of Layne’s work. He does an amazing job.
I'd love to hear him sing more stuff on their next album... His range is unreal, and I think he is being wasted just harmonizing all the time... don't get me wrong, I like the last two albums, but man, what he can do when he really turns it loose...
No one is Layne Staley. You cant recreate his pain & how he expressed it through his singing, BUT -- William Duval friggin brings it. If its good enough for Jerry Cantrell...its F'ing good enough. It means we get to hear these songs even though Layne is gone -- Thats a gift. Duval has kept AiC moving forward. Thats a life saver.
Ya know it's not the fact that we hate this lead singer Matter of fact he gets an A for effort. We just want the old Alice in chains back!!!!! Its like eating a taco on wheat bread You can call it a taco.......but its not a taco without the shell
i give this dude a lot of credit....tryin to fill shoes of a voice like Layne is next to impossible....but damned if this dude didnt do about as good a job as you can possibly do. its good to see Alice live again, id pay to go see them with this dude, no question.
The fact that i STILL see people refer to Will as "the new guy" or something to that effect is laughable. I'm sick of seeing these comments every time i go to a AiC video. I've seen them live twice with Will, and he fits the band so well. He's officially been in the band for ten years now. If you haven't accepted it at this point, you should just leave AiC videos the fuck alone. That said, i'm glad to see so many positive comments on this video :D
As a fan of a band, I should accept their personnel changes, respect their choices, and always support them, not to mention that is an irresistible reason.
No one sings like Lane. No one sings like Kurt. No one sings like Freddy. Those are iconic marks on the music world. They can try and try, but nothing beats the original singer.
soooooooooooo good there amazing even after lane passed there special Duvall is a great vocalist I'm glad they decided to keep going after lane passed there still ALC and always will be!!
Saw them live in Regina, 2013. I had never even really heard of Alice in Chains a few months before, and they proved to put on a great performance! Some of their new stuff kicks ass too, but this song never fails to give me chills.
This is the first time I"m hearing the new guy sing. Even though he's not very new. Never got into Alice in Chains even when the original guy was alive. But I have to admit, this guy sounds incredible. Absolutely amazing....
I love Alice 2.0 as much as original AiC...they really did resurrect the band when William came along, he is awesome live, he fits the band well too....cant wait to see em again sept 4 at shoreline w/korn. Last show of year long tour too...last time they took all of 2017 off....🤔🤨😱 ...🤣✌😎
Can't wait to see these guys July 22nd. Grateful to see Duvall carrying on the legacy. Favorite band of all time. Got me through 6 years of some heavy heroin addiction
singer gets passing grade. But seriously. Layne singing was at another level. Layne looked like he was having an outer body experience when he sang n voice sounded like it. No amount of heroin could make him reach Laynes height.
William Duval has an amazing and he can play guitar, i love Layne so much, but i would never ever hate on Alice in Chains for bringing William on, the only thing that upsets me is how come this Legendary band is not in the Rock n Roll Hall of fame
Jerry Cantrell never let's me down ,,I swear to god he killed this ,,I cried watching this vid, wat a great performance,,brought back so many memories !!!
I’m on my Alice In Chains splurge, and finally listened to the 2 newest albums, he’s certainly no Layne, but for what it’s worth, he keeps the band going, and doing a kick ass job! Might have to catch them on tour!

Man I really like this xD... Duvall is fuckin awesome.. All the negaitivity is getting as old as the 90s.
I never really liked the band but gotta say William is a fantastic singer

It's a shame Lane Staley died, but seriously, you have to admit that William Duval did great on this one...
+Jorge Hernández García Disagree .. not even close
Well, I imagine it is a matter of opinion. I truly liked it very much.
This is a DARK song. Layne was dark - Duvall should be fronting a glam band. He has a great voice - but it doesn't fit the tunes.....

I call it AIC chapter 2
Cheers, but no one was asking your permission. Gimp.
Don't know why people are being so disrespectful. Layne is gone, and the other guys want to carry on playing. This is a really respectful and technically amazing performance by Duvall.
Shane Walsh the guy they got is pretty good,,,Trump ruined my pipes;)))
Because they are immature!
Steven Holt What does trump have to do with this? I’m just curious cuz it came out of nowhere
Runs in the family... hehehe
Not gonna lie and not trying be a braggart, but I sound more like Layne than Duvall does.
Can you replace a band member? Yes.
Can you replace what they brought to the table? No.
Can you make a different impact in their place? Absolutely.
I’m convinced that Jerry Cantrell sold his soul to the devil in return of perfect guitar tone.
Duval's vocals are fantastic, especially his falsetto. Layne's sadly gone, but Duval is a phenomenal singer
Just curious what is a falsetto?
@@funtimes3652 it's that really high voice thing, ie what the Bee Gees do
Damn. haven't really been a fan of Alice in Chains since the passing of Layne but the new vocalist really did a fantastic job on this one. Will have to give them another chance.

@@puppetmaster8551 that the thing most people don't understand Jerry Cantrell has afew great solo albums
Melvin Johnson oh no doubt, boggy depot is a good album and degradation trip 1&2 is a fuckin amazing album
Check out "Drone" on their newest album :)
This is fucking badass. Will kept it real but made it his own.
You nailed it.
Dude he fucking killed it.
He is not a staley. But he is awesome at his job. That fiilling..... Heals my soul
Ohhh agreeed man it HEALS my soul to here that part
eh adds to many unique notes that do not improve the song
i mean he isn't tryin to replace layne, hes a fucking bad ass singer in his own right though. and he looks cooler than layne playing guitar. a lot better at it too.alice is still doing a lot of high quality work.
Are you talking about the cherry pie filling or the 2:30 FEELING?
darthstoner420 that is why i like this so good....he went his way with it
William Duvall is an absolute monster. His vocal performance here is ridiculously brilliant
I can’t be the only one the absolutely loved Mike’s bass sound in this
You're not alone bro. Inez is a beast
this is AIC part 2.. Duvall plays rhytmh guitar and gives space to Jerry to play parts that he havent played before.. whole new experience!
Layne would be proud
Amen to that
Hellyeah ! Soo proud
Best comment yet. I don't think Layne would want anything but the band's happiness and success. I love William. ✌🏼💖🕊
No, he wouldn't
@@rhaastaa SSSSSHHH!!!!!!
Duval, ...Layne surely would be pleased with this replacement. WOW!
Richard Koning Duvall hasn't replaced him. He is simply passing Layne's torch into this generation. Furthering Layne's legacy.
@@cameronnorton5898 Those words gave me shivers
@@nachocavallocarbonell1863 Yeah? Why?
@@cameronnorton5898 Cause it's the truth man.
Well said
Even though Layne is irreplaceable, William does a fantastic job at vocals. :)
HairMetalBrony1016 Couldn't agree more. He has helped Staley's legacy continue into the next millennium.
Thanks!
This would have made it possibly
I don't mean to offend any of the Lane Staley fans, but William Duvall's rendition is as good as it can possibly get.
Well done Mr. Duvall great job!
03:02
This song is proof that Alice in Chains was always bigger than just Layne or Jerry or any individual member of the band. The music is bigger than all of them and even if they lose a member, the music will never die. I listen to this and I hear something greater than any one person.
Alice in Chains forever.
Well said, friend.
Old , but gold ! Well said man !
something will always old like wine.
Couldn't have been more well said. They sound amazing. Of course Layne would be great to still have but his spirit is still in the band. That's what matters
I cant say that i agree with you
LSMS = Layne Staley Mike Starr
Wow, at 4:27 i could have sworn that was the spirit of Layne kickin' out that scream, sounded just like him. Impressive! nobody can EVER replace him, but the soul remains!
DUVALL IS AWESOME!!! Excellent job with Rooster.
honestly, this guy does a great job...it's always gonna be an impossible task to fill the shoes of such an iconic, unique vocalist and a lot of the time it doesn't work out but this guy just does it with his own personality and style...he doesn't try to be layne and I think that's a major part of what makes it work so well for me

Man, duvalls high notes are really amazing.
I don't give a FUCK what anybody says, William is the perfect replacement for Layne.
He's not Layne! But so much soul in William's voice! he adds a new spin and spectrum on these great tunes!
The high-pitched singing in the intro gives me chills
The remaining band members decided that they wanted to continue AIC, even though Layne had passed. That is their decision, and nobody else can talk shit about that decision. They chose Duvall, and honestly, Duvall does an outstanding job.
Very few singers in the world can pull this type of song. Much respect and thank you..
Hearing Alice in Chains with William Duvall instead of Layne is kind of like seeing your mom with a new boyfriend after she divorced your dad (or he died). You don't like him at first, but once you realize he's cool you start to come around.
the LSMS on Sean bass drum for Layne Staley and Mike Starr I'm guessing?
yep
Yes.
I literally cried when I was there listening to this because lane Stanley and Scott Weiland was the real motherfuckin deal of grunge
Carlos Santino STP isn't really grunge though; besides that 1 album they have out of their 6?
Carlos Santino We are all sad bro. It's a fucking tragedy... You'd expect that we would all forget about it after so many years... I fucking miss 90's...
now im sad
InTheDecay Tiny Music was very grungy throughout the album
i will not worship junkies.
QUE QUALIDADE DA PORRA, QUE BANDA FODA!!! MEUS PARABÉNS AO NOVO VOCALISTA E A TODOS OS INTEGRANTES DESSA OBRA DE ARTE.
sim mano ele manda demaisssss
Novo vocalista que já tem quase 20 anos na banda kkk
If you're gonna have to fill the hole left by Layne Staley's tragic passing, William is the guy to do it. Spot on performance.
WOW!! This guy is actually really good.
No one will ever be as perfect as layne, but will gives great effort and does good.
William Duval, from the little I have heard is a versatile, accomplished singer, hope he sticks around for the duration!
Lane Staley, your songs are in good hands brother
LSMS on the bass drum = Layne Staley, Mike Starr
Willian Durval is great Singer 🎤👏👏👏
Vocal dude is fckn rockstar, and yes i know who the original vox is but i dont want to mention his name , time to give this guy some love ,
Loved Layne. Miss him terribly. Love William. Love Alice. Jerry rules. Damn! This gave me goosebumps.
one of the best songs of all time
You can’t replace Layne but this guy does a damn good job rip Layne 🤘
That second verse man. Duvall is doing some real pleading. I just listened like 10x in a row.
Layne's voice was unique, but, guys, admit it, William is doing his job very well.
Agree
Hes a bad ass singer in his own right!! With lots of soul!! Hes bringing in alot to the band!!! Replacing a lead vocalist who his legendary is almost impossible. But Alice in Chains has done it. Very few have like ACDC. But I think he is amazing and brings a whole new sound to the group.
I saw them on tour when they first got the new singer... the audience was absolutely silent after the first song... just blown away!
Dude I'm late to the party but it's funny that there are still people hating on William because he's not Layne. Or he's a try hard to impersonate Layne.
William Duvall is William Duvall he has his own style he doesn't try to replace Layne.

He slayed this song. I love AIC so much and I'm really glad they found him
Couldn’t have picked a better replacement for Layne. We all love Layne tremendously. I feel like William protects the integrity of Layne’s work. He does an amazing job.
I had an itch in my left ear about 3/4ths of the way into the video. That itch is gonna have to wait I said. These boys are making magic right here.
I'd love to hear him sing more stuff on their next album... His range is unreal, and I think he is being wasted just harmonizing all the time... don't get me wrong, I like the last two albums, but man, what he can do when he really turns it loose...
The guitars sounds amazing I'll give it that! And Kinney as usual is bad ass!!
Great live version of the song. Love it.

Wow did not expect that to be so good. Shame I couldn't see this live. Gives me similar chills to the original. Top notch job here.
Ya know it's not the fact that we hate this lead singer
Matter of fact he gets an A for effort.
We just want the old Alice in chains back!!!!!
Its like eating a taco on wheat bread
You can call it a taco.......but its not a taco without the shell
Mad respect for Sean for his drum kit memorial of his friends/bandmates. ♥️
no one can fill in for Staley but he does a damn fine job. i havent seen them live with him, but friends who have give the stamp of approval.
Man starting from duvall to cantrell jesus this is awesome
i give this dude a lot of credit....tryin to fill shoes of a voice like Layne is next to impossible....but damned if this dude didnt do about as good a job as you can possibly do. its good to see Alice live again, id pay to go see them with this dude, no question.
DuVall sings this like a torchy, pain-filled Blues ballad. LOVE IT.
Thank you William Duval. Thanks to you, I was able to see Alice in Chains in Brazil when I believed that this would never be possible.
The fact that i STILL see people refer to Will as "the new guy" or something to that effect is laughable.
I'm sick of seeing these comments every time i go to a AiC video. I've seen them live twice with Will, and he fits the band so well.

Amazing performance! Duvall is doing a great job!
Props to him for taking this on even with all the hate he had to know was on th e way!
No one sings like Lane. No one sings like Kurt. No one sings like Freddy.
Those are iconic marks on the music world. They can try and try, but nothing beats the original singer.
I think he really nailed this song, eventhough he is not Layne. He really brings Laynes spirit among us everyday!
People call Duval the new guy, but he's been in the band longer then Layne was.
Mas o Layne é o principal vocalista e sempre vai ser. O resto são apenas vocalistas substitutos
and with the next record he will officially have more AIC LPs under the belt than Layne ever did.
hell yeah ... what a fucking great performance ... Layne Stayley would be proud ... William Duvall is a damn good singer
R.I.P. Layne Stayley
soooooooooooo good there amazing even after lane passed there special Duvall is a great vocalist I'm glad they decided to keep going after lane passed there still ALC and always will be!!
William did phenomenal job at this song.
I'm really liking his style and sound, keep on rocking guys! God bless your endeavours.
trully amazing. nicelly done as always mr. Duvall.
Man, that Duvall guy is nailing the vocals... Love his voice!
Saw them live in Regina, 2013. I had never even really heard of Alice in Chains a few months before, and they proved to put on a great performance! Some of their new stuff kicks ass too, but this song never fails to give me chills.
This is awesome RIP Layne we miss you and awesome job Jerry and Duvall
I am travelling a lot in this world of music...35 years on and on hopefully more...i need to stop at this masterpiece ...thank you Alice in Chains (K)
I love this! This is So great! Fantastic vocals by Willuam DuVall. I think he is a wonderful singer.

Try listening to this live in glasgow 1993 off the bad dream bootleg so you can hear what "the original guy" could do.
Andy P it's on the album Live too.
Don't call him the new guy. He's been around longer than Layne at this point.
God these live at guitar center videos give a pretty nice clip for the songs themselves
god damn that's a fine performance. Chills down my spine with the first chorus...
What a brutal vocal right there! Fucking love it

Absolutely love this video. William did it justice, no doubt. Anyone who criticises this performance can leave. ❤️
It would be sacrilegious to say this is better than the original but it’s definitely just as good
singer gets passing grade. But seriously. Layne singing was at another level. Layne looked like he was having an outer body experience when he sang n voice sounded like it. No amount of heroin could make him reach Laynes height.
Huh? Why would william need to do heroin?
William Duval has an amazing and he can play guitar, i love Layne so much, but i would never ever hate on Alice in Chains for bringing William on, the only thing that upsets me is how come this Legendary band is not in the Rock n Roll Hall of fame

Jerry Cantrell never let's me down ,,I swear to god he killed this ,,I cried watching this vid, wat a great performance,,brought back so many memories !!!
