Oh my god YES! That ones definitely been praised in this LOVE thread in extreme gushing detail. Those voices TOGETHER?! Come on. It doesn't get any better. Definitely one of the greatest and most jaw-droppingly gorgeous songs out there.

Such an awesome song. It is just awesome that someone came up with the concept of Alice Mudgarden. Even Mark Arm's vocals are really good for a change

Well i've regretted not going to see a few bands in the past especially as most have split etc (RATM.... my biggest regret) and thought i'm not gonna do that ever again if there's a band i wanna see i'm gonna see em... I say to myself "Just stick it on your card Kelly"

I haven't BUMPED this thread in a LONG while, I MUST show my love for AIC. They are one of the few bands, along w/the Smashing Pumpkins, that made my junior high years go by less painfully! I remember when I would come home from school, I would put DIRT on my cd player and put my headphones on, and I was in my own little world. Their music will ALWAYS be a part of me, and Jerry and Layne made great combination too

I found this on You Tube, one of their countless of interviews w/Riki.

I woke up this morning with GRIND on my mind & decided that this thread needed a major LOVE BUMP.

OOooo and in recent news~~~> AIC IS FINALLY COMING TO THE BAY AREA!! :eek: Wooooooooo!! They are frickin ending their TOUR HERE NOV 26th!!! *bounces off the walls* I can't believe it! I feel like I won the lotto or something! haha. This is going to be absolutely pheonomenal! I cannot WAIT!


Oh and yes, please allow me to quote myself....

AWWWWWWW speaking of which, THE AOL SESSIONS : Behind The Scenes?? Did you guys see it?? *tears* "Layne Staley lives within". AWWW!!!!! I couldn't help but tear up. How touching was that? I love it! The PJ/Layne love together as one.

*sniff sniff*

Here we go...

Just beautiful. BEAUTIFUL!
And so true. :(



BTW that interview was awesome Nadi!
Thanks for posting that! I actually remember watching that back in the day :eek: *has feeling old moment* haha. Craziness!

Teslarocker

I liked them

Roll Model

i wish i had some money last month when they were doing pre sale tix on line, now it's sold out in detroit, but i really don't have money now anyway. yeah, they are my 2nd fav seattle grunge band

eleonora

I wanted to sign here... I `VE ALWAYS LOVED AIC!!!
I Think that in my life the bands I most like were

AIC
PJ
FNM

So I wanted to say that dirt was my FAVORITE DISC EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So:

----Hate to feel

---

What's gone wrong, I can't see straight
Been too long, so full of hate

What the fuck will it take
Drown myself in my wake
Another shaggy D.A.
Now a dog, shake my leg
Plastic man, paper face
Candy heart, what a waste
Gotta change, set a date

Stare at me with empty eyes and
Point your words at me
Mirror on the wall will show you
What you're scared to see

I can see, yeah - (wish I couldn't see at all)
I can feel - (wish I couldn't feel at all)
Hate to see - (wish I couldn't see at all)
Hate to feel - (wish I couldn't feel at all)

So climb the walls,
Thin my blood now
And I crawl, back to bed now

What the hell, gotta rest
Aching pain in my chest
Lucky me, now I'm set

Little bug for a pet
New Orleans, gotta get
Pin cushion medicine
Used to be curious
Now the shit's sustenance

All this time I swore I'd never
Be like my old man
What the hay it's time to face
Exactly what I am

Girly, i just had to tell ya, that after missing them the first 2 times around i FINALLY landed october 26th tickets in philly, and i cannot wait myself! too long have i wanted this, layne will always, ALWAYS reside in our hearts i know, but to see the remainder of the band and see what they do best and just FEEL it..it'll be nothing short of a jaw-dropping phenomena...so dear is this band to me, and i know this show will be incredible. just a month and a week to gooo!! and I am sooo glad to hear you have a show in your area too! they will bring it down and lift from the inside..i just know it. the passion will be suffocating!!:D:D:D

VEDHEAD27

HOLY SHIT x a million! :eek: Just got back from >>AIC in SF<< I'm still shaking! My eyes have yet to sink back into my head. haha. Seriously though! OH MY FUCKIN GOD! I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I JUST WITNESSED! WHAT I WAS JUST A PART OF!!! I am in total shock and already cannot shut up about this unbelievably amazing amazing show! What just happened?!

Me and my girls (Meddledeal and Gen5) completely manifested everything tonight! :eek: It's INSANE! Every single song we said "OMG what if they play *this*" about was PLAYED! Pretty much all songs we've gone off about in this very thread! From GRIND(WHaaat!?!! Nadi and I wanted this shit soooooo bad! Check my last post too! WTF!?) to DON'T FOLLOW(OMG!!The very first song I posted in this thread! *sobs*)) to IT AINT LIKE THAT(UHHH!! One of the sickest songs EVER) to BLEED THE FREAK(Heeeell yeah! Facelift love was in the house!) to RAIN WHEN I DIE (it rained today and SF and before the show we were talking about THIS song!)!!! And many, many more! It's all just too much to take in.

To top it all off Pati (Gen5) and I were talking about possible special guests and both thought "holy shit James Hetfield!!" since he lives here in the Bay Area and has always been very tight with the boys. NO FUCKIN WAY! Last encore Jerry says he'd like to introduce a "friend" one that they've toured with. :eek: Pati and I are looking at each other with our jaws completely dropped to the floor. NO WAY THIS IS HAPPENING! Sure enough....James fuckin Hetfield comes out and sings WOULD?! AHHHH!!!!!!


I can't believe this. Such an emotional night! Tears of happiness & tears of sorrow ( we miss you :( )...but at the same time sooooooo much love & celebration everywhere. The crowd was LOUD AS FUCK! Everyone singing every single word! *tears* The band was all smiles, just having the absolute greatest time up there and feeding off of everything! They were exuding such happiness, gratitude and positivity. Not only were they infecting us all with this HUGE, EPIC sound..but even times when I found myself crying I'd open my eyes and see the look on their faces, FEEL this amazing ass energy and my tears were gone. It was such a beautiful thing. I am more than convinced that Layne is totally looking down smiling upon it all proud as ever. William is pheonomenal! WOW! He really, really blew me away. Impressed doesn't even begin to cover it. This guy is INCREDIBLE! He's up there with nothing but respect. I love it! Layne would truly be so proud of these shows. Everything about them. I am beyond grateful that this music is still being shared, that this tribute to him and the fan exists! What a gift!! This show, and the way that it's done,is straight up PERFECTION.

The one time that I was suppose to see AIC way back in the day was when they opened for Metallica. Sadly they cancelled a few hours before the show. :( I was devastated and little did I know I wouldnt get another chance to see them. Tonight was more special then I'll ever be able to properly explain. *honestly tearing up as I type this* And to see it all come full circle...to have HET up on the stage too?!!? :eek: UNREAL!

At the end of the show the band all said their goodbyes to us then Jerry came back by himself and just stood there staring at the crowd in genuine disbelief. He took the mic and held it out to us. The crowd erupted! We were soooo insanely loud! And just when you thought our roars couldnt get ANY louder...they did!! This seemed like it went on forever and was giving me the biggest chills from head to toe! Jerry put his hand on his heart and thanked us repeatedly. *tears* Then, before his final goodbye, he said "It's good to be back." A-MEN!!!!!

What a show! I really am just in shock.
That;s all I can manage to get out right now (which is surprisingly a lot considering).
Oh wait.........
JERRY IS A ROCK GOD!!!!!! *bows down*
WE LOVE AND MISS YOU LAYNE! YOUR POWER FOREVER LIVES ON!

~*THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! to the remaining 3 and William*~

That concert was OUT OF FUCKING CONTROL!!!!! Where do you begin with this concert.......it was INTENSE and INSANE from beginning to end.......incredible............AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Toshala

my favorite reviewer Lydia stepped up to the plate and laid it all out very nicely.....as always sweet child, you NAILED it!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

That was 4 happy motherfuckers on that stage........played and sang their hearts out, (as did the crowd, ) and I just loved it! Never saw them back in the day so this was an unexpected opportunity and I'm just so thrilled that they found William..........he definetely deserves props for taking on a HUGE part of this band and delivering!!!! I loved it when he and Jerry, both on guitars, singing harmony, mmmmmmmmmmmm........now, having Hetfield come out and do WOULD? was quite a surprise and he honored the song well........boy, the crowd was hungry and at the end, satisfied..........

Saw AIC in Milwaukee two weeks ago... I had just lost my job two days earlier...
Talk about a pick me-up! William DuVall had an amazing performance~
Could tell from up front he was enjoying the rockstar life!
I came home with bruised ribs and 3 guitar picks- one from each jerry, mike and william.
If you're on the edge about catching this tour- It is a "must see" I promise!

ACCBootlegGoddess

I'm soooo glad you had such a good time girlie!!!

I was at that show and I was literally amazed also.

VEDHEAD27

BUMP up the LOVE cuze stateoflove79's thread kicked me into heavy AIC mode. Not like that's a difficult thing to do...but yeah...

I swear no matter what I listen to throughout the day/week, I always end up coming back to AIC.
“What’s my drug of choice?” Well this is definitely one of them.

OOooo so Jerry was in my dream last night. haha. It was the best! I was front row on the rail at an AIC show and he pointed me out. then leaned down and handed me a pick! AHHHH! *faints* What... a ....dream! I know it stems from a PJ friend of mine though. She saw AIC in London last year and had that very same thing happen to her in real life!! A-mazing! She said he threw a pick to her and someone else got it....so the second time around he leaned down and handed her 2 picks. So sweet! She told me she’d mail me one of the extras. I freaked out but wasn’t sure she’d remember or whatever. Anyways I just got it in the mail other day!!!!!!! Wooooow!


Speaking of Jerry, I must share this footage someone shot from our SF show. Not only is just such a beautiful sight to see the ROCK GOD in action...head back, eyes closed, making sweet love! Damn! This solo is just too much! *chills* The overflowing emotion captured here is unreal! Says so much without saying anything at all. Totally tugs at my heart and makes me tear up everytime. A solo to get lost in for sure. Damn Jerry!!
But yeah, these guys in the front are fuckin hilarious! They completely sum it up.

Um and another thing....what's this Ozzfest talk??? Rumors are flying around that the remaining 3 might headline Ozzfest???! Alls I gotta say about that is :eek:!!! Good god I hope to hell this happens. Yes I am all for the tribute continuing. Why not? There is nothing but positivity flowing from all directions here. It’s a beautiful thing! Did anyone here read the Happy Holidays message from Mike? The way he poured his heart out with thanks and praise, saying how it’s just been so theraputic touring again for all of the guys. He also went onto to say how Layne’s spirit is kept alive in the music and all of us. *tears* Man, the way he broke it down was really so beautiful and touching.
