William Duvall is one of the best examples of someone Knowing what they are getting into when applying for the job. He knows he isn't Layne. Jerry knows he isn't Layne. That sure as fuck doesn't stop him from letting that grit, that internal depth required to Feel this song, come through. He is a different human, different vocal chords, height, weight, age, and diet habits. All impact your voice, and when you factor it all in He's a PERFECT fit. Bands like Drowning Pool weren't so lucky when they replaced their lead singer. Its clear William has been a life-long fan of AIC, and I couldn't be more stoked to hear them continue performing.

This was such a cool comment to read. You chose an Impeccable role model. I hope you stick with it and channel some of his energy. Layne helped write quite a few songs and he delivered on vocals like a boss. This band, however, is Jerry's brainchild. Not sure if you're old enough to have researched it yet, but Layne was actually pre-chosen to sing when he didn't want to. So Jerry invited a bunch of dudes he knew Couldn't sing to an audition at the same time as Layne, just to piss him off with the lack of talent lol. That is how we became blessed with the band as we know it 🤙🏼

Duvall pulled this off exceptionally well. As hard as that had to have been.... well done. I knew a guy who sounded just like Layne, the way he talked, sang, and even sang Alice In chains music, was so dang chilling, when Layne passing hit the news, My friend had done 5 more shows at with his small band, and none of them had heard the news of Laynes death, and of the 5 shows, the crowd was in tears and silent and the band had no clue. That was the last time my friend ever sang. I tried to encourage him and his band to gift their gifts to the world. He couldn't stand to be the one to remind them of the loss, while seeing the crowd of people crying in silence.... I even sent a HD (R2R) recording of my friend to their agent, (which cost me dealer) and nothing was ever done about it.. Two artist's were lost out of that day. He did not sing since. It breaks my heart. At the same time, I understand, and kinda have to understand. I really wished he could have filled in for Layne, Not so much to say replace him, no way, but, the voice and range. When I seen my friend in passing years ago, he is pretty mute, doesn't have much to say, all of his dreams shut down. I heard he moved to the middle of the USA, for a welding job, not to soon after that, he was killed in a auto accident. The social coma he went into, shunning everybody of his past, when he was killed, nobody knew for months, not even what little family he had left, which were all like second cousins. and they didn't care. What a shame. What a loss on both lives.

I'm really sick and tiiiired of these pseudo-AIC-"fans" here claiming "this isn AIC" bc Layne unfortunatly has died. Layne cannot sing anymore and the band needed a new lead singer. William DuVall is a great vocalist, but his voice and talent being denied by specific "fans". It would have been tragic if AIC would have give up everything and throw all away. Jerry (btw the main songwriter) and Mike (Inez) are still among us. It's an utter disrespect towards them to claim that "this isn't AIC". Also, ppl barley mention Mike Starr and he died after Layne. Where the "rip's" for Mike Starr? Some are "yearning" after specific dead ones and give a shit about the living ones. Like I said, pseudo-AIC-"fans". Pls write your BS somewhere else.

I'm no diehard fan but the form is the form and his singing deviates from it enough that it distracts from the song. It's not as simple as whether the man can sing well or not. I wish people could just be honest. And I want the truth about how they ended up with Duvall, haven't found that story yet anywhere, I'll keep looking. Were they looking for someone who could sound like Layne or not ? I am not as interested in him sounding like Layne. I am interesting in him being able to convey the emotion of the lyrics, which he simply does not do. It becomes more about his singing than it needs to be, rather than about the lyrics and the song, as it should be - because of the way he delivers his interpretation. If he was doing the job, he would not bother reinterpreting it and stick with the melody of the lyrics, which has always been as much a part of the song as the instrumental melody is, simple as that. You would not change the instrumental melody and expect people to hear it as the same song, case in point, likewise the lyrical melody works the exact same way. I would be saying the same thing were Layne still alive and choosing to sing a different melody than the song is known for. It has always been frustrating when artists butcher their own songs by making nonsensical changes to the lyrical melody when they perform the song live. It's as if they are trying too hard to make it sound different than the studio recording, so that people feel like they are getting something more out of a live performance, but those attempts always fail to help the performance at all.

Honestly. I love DuVall in Alice In Chains. He adds style to their band. But I wish Layne was still here too. I wish Layne was still alive and DuVall was an extension to Alice In Chains as a secondary guitar player and alternate lead vocalist. Alice In Chains definitely needed a rhythm guitar player and someone else other than Jerry who writes the majority of the song. And DuVall provides that to ALice In Chains.What I wish is that Layne was still with Alice in Chains and DuVall was an extension of their band. With William and Layne alternating Lead Vocals on different songs or performing duet style songs together where Layne sings a verse than WIlliam DuVall sings another verse. WIlliam and Layne with Alice In Chains would be an unstoppable combination.

When Van Halen parted ways with David Lee Roth and hired Sammy Hagar, they didn't go on playing "Hot For Teacher" and "Janie's Cryin'". They made new music. Hagar all but refused to play DLR songs. VH moved on. I have lyrics of this song tattooed on me. Its emotional impact was driven by the vocals of Layne. I've heard covers by other bands of Down In A Hole and I respect them for their effort, just as I respect DuVall for giving it a shot. I just think this is such a personal song for so many people, even as the lyrics suggest "I give this part of me for you", that it's almost sacred. While I'm on the fence as to if the re-vamped version of AIC should play Layne-era songs, I'm pretty sure that I'm not alone in my thinking that this shouldn't be one of them.
