I'm in the minority, but I prefer DuVall as their frontman. I saw them in 2010 on the Black Gives Way to Blue tour and they were outstanding...it was possibly one of the top 5 shows I ever saw.
Myself, I prefer AIC with Staley. But AIC with Duvall is good in its own right. The common thread is Jerry Cantrell as their main creative force.
That was very enjoyable!
Thats quite a take. Laynes vocals were so primal but he could carry a note. His lyrics were so vivid but unfortunately self fulfilling prophecies most of the time. However to me there is no AIC without Layne...
