    From Layne to William is like how AC/DC went from Bon to Brian after the former's death. Both are excellent vocalists and a good fit for the band.

      I disagree he’s not Layne I stopped listening when he became the new voice. The first album with him was good but it’s just not the same for me when he sings.

    William is incredible! Jerry couldn't have found a better individual for the job. William has wrote some of their best post Layne songs. Jerry and him harmonised well together and Will hold his own on classic AiC songs and new as well. Great guitarist, it really adds to the bands sound. People tend to trash on William just because he's not Layne. If people would sit down and give this era of Alice a chance, they would be absolutely blown away.

      Music is subjective
      Imo Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder are better vocalists, but I don't comparing them, I just enjoying the amazing music
      Also, about their pride, well I agree with you, not because that was Layne era, because aging:
      -Layne was 29 during his *last* live performance with AiC in 1996;
      -William was 39 during his *first* live performance with AiC in 2006.
      Almost *ten* years of difference

    Lovin this enlightenment to the background behind WD. SO very talented💯 Thanks to AIC (although hesitant feeling I’d be betraying Layne) but wanting more of Jerry Cantrell & surviving members I slowly began only allowing myself to listen to Devall in the New. Amazing! Grateful to say the least!
    I’ve discovered yet another amazing Artist! ROCK ON🔥🎸💯🖤

    As soon as I heard the rif🎸 for "symptom of the Universe" I was like Fuck yeah!👍 "sabotage" doesn't get enough love in my opinion. It would have been cool if he played the outro Riff on the acoustic.

    Interesting guy, clearly a self taught player from the pre digital era

    Cool guy for sure. But one of the few of these videos that makes me feel pretty alright with my playing.

    I love PRS and not trying to be negative because I’m sure he’s a great guitar player, but that is one of my least favorite guitar tones for an acoustic..

    • @TwistedThrill44
      @TwistedThrill44 4 года назад +1

      It's not because of the guitar, it's coming directy through the preamp of the guitar, with no kind of acoustic simulation on top, that's why it doesn't sound great.
