So Alice in Chains played fantastic set at Lupos last night. The rocked for nearly 3 hours including a full acoustic set and 6+ song encore. Fantastic show. Anyone else attend?

Jerry Cantrell =

no cause alice in chains didnt play

yeah they sure did.

I had no clue this even occurred... shit. I really should have gone.

my brother went. He said it was awesome. Why he had an eye on his forehead, I don't know, maybe halloween, crazy kids.

no you paid to see a cover band performing alice in chain songs

so, Cantrell and crew made special guest appearances? Last I knew Cantrell wrote, what?, every song.

it'd be like seeing Anal Cunt without Seth. No Staley=No AIC

fuck you Sean! hahaha

It's not the rest of Alice In Chains' fault that ONE of the members threw his life away on drugs.

Whatever the fuck you call it - it was fucking awesome and I would have paid double the ticket price if necessary.

brad weymouth said:

thank you at least someone understands what im saying.

it doesnt matter to me if jerry wrote all their songs which isnt true stanley had his share. but HE was the voice of that band and no matter how they get to replace him it makes them a cover band.

it'd be like seeing the doors without jim morrison, it'd be a cover band cause no matter how much you like the music their singer made the music work.

interweb hearts for you Tony haha

Point taken - so say that Layne was still alive and still fucked up on Heroin so the band fired him or he quit. Then the band got a new singer and continued anyways for the sake of the fans and the music... still a cover band?

yup cause theyd suck just like every other band that did that.

i mean c'mon VAN HALEN people Hello !!!!!!

put glad you enjoyed the show

whiskey_weed_and_women said:

Yeah, or AC/DC



... wait, what?

whiskey_weed_and_women said:

hahaha

by the way, I'm still waiting on a response for the 16th? Did it get booked up yet or are they still looking?

hopefully I'll know very soon

Anthony nli said:

meh

whiskey_weed_and_women said:

rad, if you still want us we have been wanting to play PVD for a while so keep us in mind, this would certainly be a great opportunity to do so hehe

brian johnson < bon scott

Anthony nli said:

yeah def, im just trying to get all the loose ends covered and then worry about who's playing. it'll either be you guys or the death kids ha

cool, thanks a million. either way, I'll be happy, i love "the death kids"

whiskey_weed_and_women said:

Oh, agreed, totally. But there's no denying the success they continued to have after Bon died and they brought on Brian.

[/being a jerk]

haha success doesnt mean it was better, van halen had success but would say their records got better.

Back in Black is one the best album in the history of Rock N Roll

Is Iron Maiden without Paul Di'anno a cover band??

aterribleguitarist said:

no but iron maiden themselves are a cover band with all the line up changes theyve had.

the only band to change their singer and get better was Napalm Death

aterribleguitarist said:

oh snap. also dont forget about Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio and Pink Floyd without Roger Waters.

FuckIsMySignature said:

Black Sabbath only need the first 8 records. Pink Floyd without Syd Barrett got better. i know nothing of getting better without Roger Waters.

I like the Dio Sabbath records. I just don't think about the Ozzy records when I listen to them, they're so different it ruins it to compare them.

whiskey_weed_and_women said:

...what about Cannibal Corpse? yeah, Barnes was the shit back in the day, but imagine if he was still in CC, with his new shitty vocals.

so who did sing for AIC anyway???? Did he try to sound like layne, or did he just do his own thing?

aterribleguitarist said:

Cannibal Corpse, ha there is no Cannibal Corpse after the Bleeding. however that new band running around with the same has put out some good records.

whiskey_weed_and_women said:

he obviously doesn't know his Floyd. Gilmore/Waters/Mason/Wright

This thread further proves what a dumbass Sean is.

AUTOPSY_666 said:

at least he has decent taste in music

That's debatable.

no it isn't, just look at your distro sometime

Everyone's missing the point that they are a cover band cause they have no albums withought Layne.

brad weymouth said:

Go ahead:

I do get your point. Although, I disagree. Now if Nirvana got back together with another singer then I would say okay, cover band. I didn't go, but regardless of who is singing, I still like their songs and it would have been cool to hear them anyways, it seems like the next closest thing to getting the real thing. A point to be made tho; if I went and thought the singer was horrible and made the overall performance of the band suck, I would have hoped I could just remember them for what they were.

Kevord said:

thank you

I didnt hear one negative comment about the new singer after the show and seemed like there were ALOT of diehard fans there. Coverband or not William Duvall was a good investment by the band and i think he was very respectful of the legacy Layne left behind. I never got the chance to see AIC with Layne so I cant really compare but I must say that it looked like every one at this sold out show was enthusiastic about the performance judging by the immense crowd interaction. Isnt that all that matters?
