Love AIC. It's a shame Layne died. I was too young to truly appreciate their music. The Unplugged album is by far my favorite album. I still get goosebumps watching Nutshell and the crowd going crazy for Layne.

AiC was one of the first bands I ever got into as a kid. Not really a fan of their new material (sounds like Cantrell's solo work), but the old lineup was fierce. Right Turn is one of my all time favorite songs.

Not a fan of their new stuff either, but their old stuff is my favorite music, that and soundgarden.

Too bad, they haven't found a good replacement for Layne. Plus I think Cantrell has lost some steam. His new music isn't as good as the stuff he wrote in the 90's. He wrote almost all of their hit music with Staley writing the lyrics.

And yeah they never toured. Staley was too high usually. shame.

Would have loved to see the original line up live one time. I have a friend of mine who saw the new line up right before the album with the new front man came out and said they put on a good show. Of course he never saw the original line up to compare it to anything, but said the show was good none the less.

I think DuVall does a decent job.
Layne was one of a kind. Impossible to replace him. Kind of unfair to compare the two though.

Love that song. You think it's come to an early end and then all if a sudden Layne just bursts out.

Duvall does a fine job. But as you said, Layne isn't replaceable.

Same can be said for Brian Johnson taking the lead after Bon Scott's death for me.

Layne looked bad at that performance. Really thin, wore dark clothes, long sleeves to try and hide how thin he had gotten I guess. His voice was good. I bought that CD played it for years.

The MTV unplugged version is one of the best performances of all time, imo, and Layne was really f'kd up.

I love during "Sludge Factory" when Layne messes up and then yells " f***, what's my motivation here? ". The look on Cantrell's face is priceless.

Nirvana and AiC's unplugged shows were creepy looks at what the future held for both on the lead singers in both bands. Both performances were great but now knowing what we know about Kurt and Layne it makes those performances extremely erie to me.

Yea. Mark Lanegan was almost a casualty too. At one point it looked like he had one foot in the grave.
