    I feel sorry for Jerry...not only losing his best friend and band member, but every single time he walks out of his door he has to answer questions about missing Layne. He handles it well since he's had years of practice answering those questions but it's got to be awful in a sense of not being able to gain closure because the only thing most people want to talk about is Layne.

      As a guitarist myself for over 25 years, there are some guys that still amaze me, Jerry is one of them, I have been highly lauded for my prowess as a guitarist by many people over the years, but I would never claim to be even a fingertip as good as this guy is. I don't know how he gets the sounds out of a guitar that he does,? I know for sure it's a lot of pedals and effects, also I'm pretty sure he uses a Bogner Amp, which is pretty fuckin cool in itself. I have tried to duplicate his sound on many AIC songs, and though I might get the basic sound, It will never be exactly like the Master, I bow to you Jerry Cantrell. The Legend.

    I have a deep connection to Alice in Chains. Their music has been very inspirational to me over the years. Layne was a talent that can't be duplicated. He sang every note with a connection. As time goes by it it a blessing that we can revisit the connections to the songs that Layne had through their recordings.

    Alice in Chains was the first band that brought my son and I closer together after a terrible break in trust due to my heavy handed reactions to his teen outbreaks. We had a love of music and he was in a G&R and Alice in Chains inspired band (he played bass). We still love the work of Jerry's band to this day...

    Jerry is a phenomenal musician .
    His songs come from the guts and soul .
    I’ve seen a lot shows.Including Jerry in Charlotte nc, soon after Layne passed ..
    He did brain DAMAGE , AIC songs at outdoor festival..
    Down in a hole was encore as a tribute to his
    lost bandmate
    Tesla, Angie Aparo, No Doubt …. A few more were there
    But true to his love of Elton John …. And influence thereafter ..
    I agree 100%. I saw in 2016 or so …
    3rd time. He just keeps getting better in concert .
    Funeral for a friend was first song …
    Amazing sound …..
    Jerry has never wrote a bad song
    Second solo album incredible!!!!

    I really empathize with Jerry. It's not just about him losing his closest buddy and fellow bandmate, but whenever he steps outside, he's constantly faced with inquiries about Layne's absence. He deals with it gracefully, given that he's been responding to those queries for quite a while now. However, it must be tough because it feels like he can't find a sense of closure - most folks are primarily interested in discussing Layne.
