Naked John

Well I just spoke to Mark Lanegan last night and I posed the question of his potential involvement in the upcoming Mad Season projects and he said "Yes. I will most likely being doing some stuff with them." I had to ask. There is an answer from the man himself delivered with a magnificently sly grin.

I hear ya. No Layne, no Mad Season or Alice In Chains. These are tracks by Mike, Barrett & John without any vocal tracks from Layne. I would be sad (just like the new AIC) if they do go ahead with this project and call it another Mad Season CD & tour with it. If they call the project something else, I'm all for it.
Just to be clear -- you do know that John died before Layne, right?

Fascinating! I'm curious as to how they're going to pull this off...Lanegan sees to be the only one I can see [that's alive] in any singing capacity for MS.

Mad Season seemed to be a band without a real leader or sole creative force. They are also lacking the name recognition which Cantrell has explained was a part of them using the AiC moniker again.
Cantrell was obviously the main guy in Alice and felt that his solo records just got tossed aside simply b/c it wasn't AiC on the label. I can't really blame him for that, and I think BGWTB really proves that. For missing such a key figure that album still sounds a helluva lot like the Alice In Chains I know, even vocally.
Usually people ask some dumb question
they did. It was called Disinformation.
And that's what this new released CD / project should be called, Disinformation. Not Mad Season.
Also, I wouldn't mind Maynard James Keenan taking a shot.
But if we're just throwing out names, I vote for Mike Patton.
But Lanegan is the only one, in my opinion, that can take over lead vocals without me having any band name concerns.
And I know it's not a popular opinion, but I wouldn't mind hearing a song or two from Duvall....bringing the new guy into the loop for a side project is a very seattle-scene thing to do
Does anyone know if the completed songs (sans vocals) had lyrics penned? THAT is my biggest issue with (a) new singer(s)...there are some good singers out there who at least somewhat live up to Layne's legacy....but his dark, sombre lyrics were a big part of the overall MS vibe....
