I don't know what they are changing it to.. BUT HOLY FUCK!!!!!

UndyTaker

i just saw them tonight in Atlantic City.. William Duvall sang Angry Chair and Man in the Box, then a fella by the name of Phil fuckin Anselmo came out and sang Would and Them Bones then mr Duvall took the mic and did a duet w/ Ann Wilson on Rooster

UndyTaker

Phil did "Would"? That's awesome!!!

Ben Red Blue

Layne or Not. The real AIC or Not. I cant wait to see them open for Metallica at Download.

MetalGod75

a name change would be the right thing to do but AC/DC didnt change their name when Bon died AND they released a new album the same year he died.Layne was awesome i'm not denying that but i think it will be great to hear all those awesome tunes again whoever they get to sing them:)

!?!?!?!?!

That is fucking amazing. So Alic only did 5 songs total? How did they sound?
I knew I should have went to that show.

I was there too... posted about it in the other music forum. AIC sounded great, but I was disappointed by the 5 song set. Mike Inez had a lot of technical problems during the show and they had to repeat Man In The Box and Would? for the TV taping. Had I known it was going to be that short, I never would have spent that kind of money on the tickets. Duff from VR/GNR was playing guitar with them, and Phil did come out to sing two songs. It was really awesome to see so many AIC fans around though- they were all chanting for them between Heart songs.

I hear yah.. But its cool that they are changing th ename afterr the shows before they do a new album

reeferchief

i need to hear the Alice tracks with Phil Anselemo like NOW fuck this William guy get Phil in as the new singer:)

Ricsard

I can't believe this hyppocrite Anselmo fucker joined remaining members on stage!!!
I clearly remember how rude he behaved towards Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains and Soundgarden... He sent hostile messages in the press, he used to(?) have a bad mouth against Seattle rock and now he appears as an old school fan and friend??? Fuckin' bastard, your own Pantera fellaz' hate your ego, too...You were not even allowed to appear at Dimebag's funeral either... and now you change your principals??? Ridiculous weakness!!! I am not impressed at all, they should ask the Staind singer instead, at least he can sing and sounds similar!

I love AIC but I miss Layne very much... I really don't know what I should feel about reunion, it is a little bit needless and useless without Staley :(

In case some of you didn't see this at MTV.com...

"If we found some other dude, I'd love to move on," Kinney said, "write some cool tunes and change the name and go on like that. I don't see continuing as Alice and replacing somebody. ... We're not trying to replace Layne. We want to play these songs one more time, and if it seems like the right thing to do, it'll happen. I don't know how long it will go or where it will take us. It's kind of a tribute to Layne and our fans, the people who love these songs. It's not some 'I'm broke and I need the money' situation. We love playing together."

I'll do it. Move on with those guys in a new project that is. I wouldn't mind playing the old material, but I don't think that anyone could compare favorably to Layne Staley in that light.

Fortunately for them, they are at no loss for incredible musicians to come and play if they wanted to move on with a new name and continue to make music together.

It's nice to see the guys back, but if they do go on they better change their name!!! Layne Staley WAS Alice in Chains if you ask me...

Give me a break. If they want to get back together and play music what the hell is the problem with that? So because Layne is dead they can't play music again? I'd rather listen to Jerry, Kinney, and Inez any day over 99.9% of the music that is out there today.

Layne was certainly the voice that I most identify with the band, but Jerry wrote the music, or t least most of it as far as I know. Other bands have had to replace a critical member, and have still been able to move on and make good music. A band name is just a title under which to work. Sure, it also functions as a brnd for a certain set of musicians, but it can evolve into its own thing.

Under your logic, Pink Floyd should have changed their name, as well as AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Soundgarden, The Allman Brothers, The Who, and even Pearl Jam. What could possibly be more critical to a band than their drummer? Drummers change everything...often moreso than vocalists. When you get a new drummer, the entire energy of the band changes.

Just a thought or two.
