2GOLD Posted February 28, 2006 Report 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.
Slayer Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 "We won't let a dead lead singer stop us from a cash grabalicious reunion!"
C Dubya 04 Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 Staley was an overrated part of the band anyways.
Black Lushus Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 Staley was an overrated part of the band anyways. URINE SANE!
C Dubya 04 Posted February 28, 2006 Report Posted February 28, 2006 Staley was an overrated part of the band anyways. URINE SANE! 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 Posted February 28, 2006 Report 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.

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 Posted February 28, 2006 Report 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.
the max Posted February 28, 2006 Report 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.
Guest Vitamin X Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 Depends on who they get for a lead singer, then.
Red Baron Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report 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.
Black Lushus Posted March 1, 2006 Report 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.
Red Baron Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Posted March 1, 2006 Rotten Apple is probably my favourite AiC song followed by Heaven Beside You.
the max Posted March 1, 2006 Report Posted March 1, 2006 My top three - Got Me Wrong - Nutshell - Would?
converge241 Posted March 3, 2006 Report Posted March 3, 2006 saw on VH1 they were opening for Heart in Las Vegas? WTF??? best songs IMO nutshell bleed the freak it aint like that
Ravenbomb Posted March 3, 2006 Report Posted March 3, 2006 was the only version of Killer Is Me they did that live version?
Styles Posted March 5, 2006 Report Posted March 5, 2006 was the only version of Killer Is Me they did that live version? Yes.
Matt Young Posted March 5, 2006 Report Posted March 5, 2006 saw on VH1 they were opening for Heart in Las Vegas? WTF??? best songs IMO nutshell bleed the freak it aint like that What the fuck? I like Heart, but I mean... wow. Best songs: Down in a Hole I Stay Away Again
Styles Posted March 5, 2006 Report Posted March 5, 2006 They were always good friends with Heart. The lead singer did guest vocals on a couple tracks on SAP.
Carnival Posted March 5, 2006 Report Posted March 5, 2006 Interesting. I know very little about AIC, I know I like "Man in the Box" and "No Excuses". And I know "The Rooster" is poop.
