I totally agree, Jerry is a huge force and immense talent, but lest we forget Matt Cameron. Even in his 60s he still managed to play drums for both soundgarden and pearl jam on tour at the same time. That's a powerhouse.

The ability to write and play music is just a talent that I don't have and one I would give a lot to acquire.

Jerry has always enjoyed playing with William, that’s why he’s in the band. William and his band opened for Jerry in 01/02 and then they’d pull double duty and play as Jerry’s band for his set. Years down the line when they thought about reforming the band Jerry suggested William and then he came in and the band played together and Sean and mike agreed he was the one. 15 years later they’re all still kickin ass and get along great, fantastic chemistry between Jerry/Will which is so incredibly important for a band like AIC. So happy the band is still around and they brought in William all those years ago, great decision.

William is multi-talented... I am grateful that he joined the band. Appears to be a great guy as well, always giving props to Layne during shows.

Thank you William for taking the spot left vacant by the great Layne Staley. Giving us new AIC albums for many years to come. He took the front man spot humbly and harmonizes with Jerry as well as anyone other than Layne could have. His talent on the guitar adds a little something else to the unmistakable AIC sound!

Thank God they are still making music!!!!!

I’ll always miss Layne as he was such an amazing voice . Having Alice in Chains back is worth so much.

I can’t believe how old this is. I still regularly listen to this and think of it as the new stuff. I’m the one getting old.

Love how they flawlessly switch over the lead and rhythm parts before/during/after the main solo.

They are just incredible together. I mean, it will never be what Layne and Jerry sounded like, but William is an amazing singer. I'm really glad they found him

I played Takamine for years...when it comes to acoustic guitars I don't want my hands on anything other than Guild...beatuiful instruments and craftsmanship.

They still have a sound that only Alice In Chains can create. I love it! Way to preserve the sound Jerry! Your real fans still love you!😃

Those GUILD guitars sounds like Heaven ! These boys are just AMASING ! Thanks for posting.

Im one of Staley's biggest fans, he saved my life through his music and inspired me to become a musician myself - but some of you people need to give it (and him) a rest. Good on Jerry and the rest for carrying on and making great music that only further serves to honor the memory of Layne. Without them, his death would have continued to be ignored by the music world in general. They're carrying on his legacy. And much love and respect to William. Them's some big shoes to fill. He's awesome.

Alice in chains are not only the greatest grunge band in history,they are one of the greatest bands,look at there back catalogue of musical styles and directions they have taken,they made Jar of flies which was up there with any Led zep song,songs like Man in the box and rooster solidified there claim on the grunge genre,they can own an acoustic set,as well as selling out an arena,and they play fucking awesome live.

DuVall is great!! They both sound great together.

not knocking ne1 but the harmonies Staley and Cantrell had together could never be duplicated, great guitar playing

Ever stop to think how amazing it is that humans are capable of something as beautiful as this with just their voices and acoustic guitars? I have...many times, usually when I hear something like the song performed here by Jerry Cantrell and William DuVall. Thanks for the video, Guild! (I'm a proud owner of one, by the way. Thanks for making such amazing guitars!) These videos are great, because they not only showcase how perfect these guitars sound, but they capture the beauty of the souls who play them through the music they make. Jerry and William definitely proved that in this video. (Hi, Jamie Murphy! Thanks for making me aware of these Guild videos! I tried to reply to your comment, but there wasn't any hypertext on KZread or your page.)

I still get goosebumps, i always still hear laynes voice!!

What an incredible amazing version of Your Decission..Which is one of my absolute favourite songs ever. First time I heard it ,went non stop all day all time!Jerry Cantrell is one of the most underrated musicians..he deserves the best..he's one of the most talent genius " one in a million " gold metal master king..Love Jerry and best ever AIC ..without Jerry there would be no AIC ..Love you guys and Your Decission ..AIC Best Forever

Between those two beautiful guitars, Jerry's perfect rhythm, voice, Will's lovely harmony and lead work (on a freaking 12-string no less...) I seriously cannot decide what is more beautiful here. I am just thankful the new record is done. But most importantly I am glad Jer looks happy, healthy and at peace with the World. Oh and I love Jer's recognition laugh @ Will's improvisation @ 3:55 Peace

Jerry Cantrell deserves to be considered "One in a Billion"...he is the only musician part of a huge band, who managed to keep the longevity, authenticity and the beauty of it even after the frontman died...the quality of the songs he made after Layne's death is the same as the quality of the songs he did with Layne...tell me another band that has kept this consistence...and don't forget Duvall, he also deserves everybody's respect, he managed to find his place in this band, without having to be the Layne's replacer, he is unique also..so RESPECT TO THIS BAND FOREVER

Guild what a beautiful sounding guitar and the bands still putting out great stuff

DuVall really compliments Jerry. Those 2 together are prime time. And just as good in this day and age as Layne was in the 90s. I love this song. Subliminal messages about Layne. We miss you Layne! William gets a lot of bs. He never replaced anyone. Jerry thought he would be good member for the band. Jerry is the lead singer here and still one the GOAT 🐐 🙌 👏

Those harmonies give me chills

Such a great performance on beautiful instruments. William is just gold to the band...he can sing AND play guitar, opening new possibilities to arrange guitar parts in songs. Also check out his solo album One Alone. I saw him perform live in a tiny club in Berlin, Germany last year...only he and his voice, two acoustic Gibsons, a mic and a bit of reverb here and there, and the small audience was riveted. Awsome performer and a great musician.

Jerry has a really good voice and Will is also really good

these guys can rock amazing performance this was when artists required talent Jerry Cantrell is such an amazing guitarist!

The tones these dudes are making come out of those guitars is pure euphoria .
