2GOLD 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2006 Unless they invented a potion that brings Layne Staley back from the dead, doesn't make me want to see it. It's like the Queen reunion, without Freddie it wasn't Queen. Without Staley, it's not Alice In Chains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey, don't get me wrong, I loved Staley before he wasted away to nothing during the last 5 years (3 with the band), but to me, Jerry was the force behind the band.

Star Ocean 3 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2006 I think Staley was always important, mainly because of his voice, but Cantrell was central. Apparently, the band never really broke up, so this is good. Also, I went to school with a girl named Alison Chang. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey, don't get me wrong, I loved Staley before he wasted away to nothing during the last 5 years (3 with the band), but to me, Jerry was the force behind the band. nah, I agree with your thoughts on Jerry, he wrote all the songs, did a lot of singing...but Staley may have had one of the top 3 rocker voices I've ever heard, IMO.

C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2006 Agreed on Staley's voice being great, but not near the top IMO. I think that having the rest get back together is a grand idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2006 Staley's voice just worked better than anyone else's (even Cantrell) with the music that was written. It's sad that he died, but I'd rather listen to the numerous cd's and tapes of AIC that I have than a cash grab by the surviving members. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted March 1, 2006 Depends on who they get for a lead singer, then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2006 Cantrell can do most of the singing except for like a few songs which noticablly its their biggest songs too. I mean his version of Down in a Hole, Nutshell, I Stay Way is amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2006 "Rain When I Die" is probably my all-time favorite AIC song..."Nutshell" is second. I liked some of the songs that never got much run, "Frogs" and "Head Creeps" on the self-titled album are great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted March 1, 2006 Rotten Apple is probably my favourite AiC song followed by Heaven Beside You. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
