I Saw Alice in Chains Last Night

[Rayneman]

It was a great, great show. They didn't really get too deep into their catalog, but they really kicked ass.

I've seen William DuVall with Jerry for years now in AIC and earlier in his solo stuff, and I never really thought he was THAT great...but last night the dude was ON. Obviously, Layne Staley's shoes are impossible to fill, but there were more than a few "goose-bump" type moments when DuVall and Cantrell were singing.

We were about 10 rows back, but well over on Jerry's side...I wasn't able to see any of his amps, but he was playing mostly his Rampages and the occasional LP, with a sparkly multicolored 3 single coil G&L for the songs requiring an acoustic-type tone. He also appeared to have EVH 2x12 cabs as monitors.

So much for that theory ...

Yeah, really great set list. I like DuVall's voice. Of course he's not Staley but who could be. Would really like to hear DuVall singing Love Hate Love.

Friends don't let friends get stuck in the 80s either.

 

[guitup too]

AIC is 90's.

Been listening to AiC a ton lately. I gotta get out and watch them next time they're in my area.

[Electric I]

Great set list. Seeing them in Aug. Cannot wait.

Pff, they are 90's....., instead what, we should put stock in your non-inspiring music that presided over the decline in rock,guitar music? Considering that, wtf should anyone put any stock into what you think......good fuckin' job

Yes funny how that happened huh lol....I remember seeing the pic back in the day Alice "n" Chains..... No question AIC was clearly a 90's band as they hit their stride in those years but they did bridge the gap between the genres.....I was always a metal guy but loved them when they got big.... up until jar of flies anyway. It went downhill after that for me. Facelift, Sap, and Dirt were the ones I really loved.....I heard it so much that I got burnt out really.

Last time I saw them play, I was drooling over all of the Spector basses he pulled out for one set.

I am aware, I was speaking about the vast majority of folks in here that don't know the 80s are over. So Jerry cut his hair, big deal, I am sure all the fellas around here arent rocking bad mullets and hairspray anymore (I hope).

AIC has consistently great amp voicing. Jerry is the anti EVH in a way. Simple playing, awesome note selecting and timing.

Great heavy tone. Never gets lost in the mix. There is no mix. It is the dominant feature. It seems like they get it when it comes to laying down that low end riff.

Man in the Box and Rooster. Perfect compositions.

Black Gives Way has so much great material too.

I saw them about a year ago. Very tight sounding. Personally, Im a big fan of Duvall. No, he does not sound like Layne Staley, but he fits that band perfectly.

Yeah Eddie does tend to say "fuck timing" when he solos.
