    For everyone asking why Ann didn't sing lead vocals: it was HER CHOICE to let William sing it instead. AIC was opening for Heart that day (if it wasn't obvious by Jerry's speech in the beginning: "We welcome the opportunity to come out here and play with you guys ON THEIR SHOW"), and during the rehearsals Ann and Nancy saw William singing and asked him to sing for the broadcast.

      Yep. I used to get so pissed when he first joined and people would just shit on him. I am an AIC super fan. I have seen them live so many times. With Layne and with William. Layne had a better vocal range and when he was on point there wasn’t a better singer to be heard. Unfortunately I saw a few shows where he was obviously high and couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket. William has blown the roof of the joint EVERY time. He’s been the lead more years then Layne at this point. Love his sound.

    Rooster is a song about Jerry's father in Vietnam. Like many dudes from the 60's, their lives were totally changed by Nam. Try to imagine what it would be like to have a father who went off to the Far East to fight a war the people didn't want. Many (most) came home (if they were lucky) changed men. Changed still in 2020. They saw stuff we can't imagine. Incredible song.

    William Duvall isn't Layne Staley and not a Layne's wannabe. He's just a great singer and a very sweet person. I had the chance to meet him after one of his first concerts with the band here in Italy and he was the only one who stayed with us for a while signing autographs and taking some pictures with the fans. Chapeau!

    There is no replacement for Layne, and Duvall isn't one but he is an essential part of AIC, he's been 16 years in the band more than Layne did, and as important to the band as the latter was.

    When I heard AIC was reforming with a new vocalist, I just assumed it was a sellout and ignored them. For years. What a huge, huge mistake. DuVall is great. The albums with him are all f-in awesome too. It’s hard to believe they found such a great replacement for Layne. He’s not Layne, of course, and he doesn’t try to be, but he fits in perfectly with the rest of the band and is perfect for Cantrell’s songs. What a glorious rebirth for this band - by far the greatest one to come out of the Seattle early 90’s scene.

      But then when I heard bgwtb it immediately became one of my favs.
      After hearing entire discography of Aic bgwtb and tdpdh are like my fav albums from them after dirt which is my all time fav album.
      Best Band ever for me ♥️.

      Don't beat yourself up. I'm 30 years late on the whole AIC/Layne/Grunge train. Missed AIC even though they came through my town at least half a dozen times over the years (and to think I could have seen them close up in a small club, had my musical tastes swung that way back then). Trying to make up for lost time since then. Regrets...I have a few....

      Very very true. It was huge shoes to fill and he molded himself to be not of Layne's shadow but his own position next to Layne as a member of AIC it's almost like he has been there this whole time. I have loved AIC since I was 11 years old back the end of 1991 going into 1992. Vacations to Oregon the radio stations played them along with other area bands from up and down the coast Portland up to Seattle Washington. I have relatives that lived out there I always got to hear them and I liked them so much at 11 and then by 1993 I got my big doses of AIC cassette tapes then CDs i don't think I'll ever not love them or not listen to them I also have Alice in Chains tattooed down my arm and my youngest goes by his middle name Layne. There isn't enough words to express the love I have for this band I'm sure it mirrors so many others who have carved these guys into there hearts.

    Sorta his first time... William Duval had been performing with Jerry Cantrell for a few years prior to this. So it wasn’t exactly his first time singing AIC live. Duval’s band Comes with the Fall (kick ass band, btw) was opening for Jerry Cantrell on his D-Trip solo tour. Duval would come out and sing a few AIC songs for the encores. I was at the Whiskey in LA and everyone was floored. This was maybe 2001-2002...? I had a feeling AIC would be back. Thankfully they did!
