      You're god damn right. Many of their songs have the square-ish groove where it's hard to shine, but some songs, like Them Bones or Would - his drums do an amazing job, and show his chops. I feel like many people disregard the rhythm section which is a sin.

      Rifle Twist people say change the name but the albums they've made are worthy of the title Alice in Chains. Other band's have kept the name and I'm always first to criticize this however makes no sense to change the name it's still Alice in Chains so much when I first started listening to them I confused some of the modern material for the 90s stuff.

  • @Proglove85

    People need to chill. Obviously Layne Staley, one of the (if not the) greatest rock vocalists ever, was going to be hard to replace, and damn near impossible to please the fans with his replacement.
    But sadly Layne's dead, and if Jerry hadn't gotten the band back together, with a new, great sounding vocalist, we wouldn't have had one of the best rock albums of 2009 - let alone this awesome anthem.
    Will's not trying to oust Laynes memory, let alone trying to replace him. He's a new singer, with a different style, and should be considered as such, and nothing more or less.

    • @MKDumas1981
      @MKDumas1981 Před 9 měsíci

      A lot of the sound of this song is them bending into the F instead of fretting it. They bend the first fret a half step up, then release it, then bend the second fret a half step up. The chorus ("California, I'm fine") and post-chorus ("Ah ah ah-ah, tears to fill my bong") are all fretted, though.

    I like it. You can never replace Staley but to squander the tallent of Cantrel and not let the music live on would be a crime. Staley lived and died on his terms, this is the price of freedom of expression and choice. The spiritual war we all fight, the blessing and the curse of our vices have brought us the ultimate joy and the ultimate sorrow. We who live for the sonic charge, feel the groove with our soul and understand firmly that there is a world beyond this one are the most blessed indeed.

    I'll be haunted by the vision of someone crowdsurfing in a vinyl straightjacket forever. Great song tho

    Duvall was basically thrown to the wolves. It was literally make or break for AIC after Staley's death. Struggled at first, but he found himself within the band and they're still around because of it.

    My take is that Layne can never be replaced but as a fill in this guy is good! It'll obviously never be the same but no one can control that. It's no one's choice but the band themselves on weather they should continue on. I just saw them at 98 rock fest and they were awesome and on key in every song! So pipe down everyone!
