    For everyone asking why Ann didn't sing lead vocals: it was HER CHOICE to let William sing it instead. AIC was opening for Heart that day (if it wasn't obvious by Jerry's speech in the beginning: "We welcome the opportunity to come out here and play with you guys ON THEIR SHOW"), and during the rehearsals Ann and Nancy saw William singing and asked him to sing for the broadcast.

      Yep. I used to get so pissed when he first joined and people would just shit on him. I am an AIC super fan. I have seen them live so many times. With Layne and with William. Layne had a better vocal range and when he was on point there wasn’t a better singer to be heard. Unfortunately I saw a few shows where he was obviously high and couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket. William has blown the roof of the joint EVERY time. He’s been the lead more years then Layne at this point. Love his sound.

Try to imagine what it would be like to have a father who went off to the Far East to fight a war the people didn't want. Many (most) came home (if they were lucky) changed men. Changed still in 2020. They saw stuff we can't imagine. Incredible song.

    When I heard AIC was reforming with a new vocalist, I just assumed it was a sellout and ignored them. For years. What a huge, huge mistake. DuVall is great. The albums with him are all f-in awesome too. It’s hard to believe they found such a great replacement for Layne. He’s not Layne, of course, and he doesn’t try to be, but he fits in perfectly with the rest of the band and is perfect for Cantrell’s songs. What a glorious rebirth for this band - by far the greatest one to come out of the Seattle early 90’s scene.

      Don't beat yourself up. I'm 30 years late on the whole AIC/Layne/Grunge train. Missed AIC even though they came through my town at least half a dozen times over the years (and to think I could have seen them close up in a small club, had my musical tastes swung that way back then). Trying to make up for lost time since then. Regrets...I have a few....

      Very very true. It was huge shoes to fill and he molded himself to be not of Layne's shadow but his own position next to Layne as a member of AIC it's almost like he has been there this whole time. I have loved AIC since I was 11 years old back the end of 1991 going into 1992. Vacations to Oregon the radio stations played them along with other area bands from up and down the coast Portland up to Seattle Washington. I have relatives that lived out there I always got to hear them and I liked them so much at 11 and then by 1993 I got my big doses of AIC cassette tapes then CDs i don't think I'll ever not love them or not listen to them I also have Alice in Chains tattooed down my arm and my youngest goes by his middle name Layne. There isn't enough words to express the love I have for this band I'm sure it mirrors so many others who have carved these guys into there hearts.

    I think Duvall does a pretty nice job filling in for the late great layne Staley. Obviously its impossible to replace such a distinct powerful voice but William Duvall does his best and does invoke Layne's power at times. I think he impressed the band too.
