Saw that first post-Layne AIC tour and it was not for me. Have seen Puciato do the Layne parts on JC solo tours and that is very much for me.

Was too big of a Weiland fan to bother with any of the newer STP stuff.

Would absolutely give a new hypothetical Soundgarden a chance.

I recall AIC opened for that STP/Guns..velvet revolver? AIC opened for them at Jones Beach at that time no one really heard William sing nor knew what to expect. AIC had slightly larger than a typical opener audience and was a homhim feel at the outset , and after one song, most fans gravitated closer to the stage. Those in stadium to first few rows and everyone in the orchestra close to the stage. 

The place then lit with emotion and excitement, as they passed their audition on the spot. They’d be popular. But, ymmv.

The show I saw was a headliner at a 2,500 cap club in Boston. Enough people seem to be totally into it which is fine by me and great for them. Just not my thing.

House of Blues across from Fenway. Great show

I’m still trying to picture the band on stage without Matt back there on drums 

It’s totally crazy.

I feel so grateful for Matt. 
I don't care if I'm lame but I get tearful thinking of all the times I've seen them with Matt and interacted with Matt or just enjoyed the whole journey. 
The best days of my life . MFC

I agree! Hence my opinion that this will take a lot longer if at all they get a replacement, most likely just a touring drummer but def not becoming a permanent member.
