We were all devastated when Layne passed, it was no needless. It was no easy decision to either end the band permanently or take a break and resume with another vocalist. I’m glad they resumed the band.

Don't know why people are being so disrespectful. Layne is gone, and the other guys want to carry on playing. This is a really respectful and technically amazing performance by Duvall.

Great cover. That's all IMHO. It does't have the same emotion like it does just listening to the both of them back to back. The Mtv unplugged version of Rooster was unreal. How Layne has that growl in his voice and his damn vocal range put him in the top 10 even maybe top 5 greatest front men of all time.

Damn. haven't really been a fan of Alice in Chains since the passing of Layne but the new vocalist really did a fantastic job on this one. Will have to give them another chance.

mountaingoat1003 the post Layne stuff turned out surprisingly well because Jerry has always been the genius behind AiC, he’s the one who wrote the large majority of the music and half the lyrics when Layne was alive. Layne was amazing one of the best singers ever but he gets too much credit for AiC from a lot of fans, Jerry was and is the mastermind. Jerry is an all time great songwriter and even when Layne was alive wrote a bunch of lyrics to some of their most famous songs

For all the loss and pain this band went through, I'm really glad they found Duvall. Every interview I've seen or read of him, he seems like a humble and good guy. He's the guy this band deserves and he does not disappoint. This sounds incredible.

Man, duvalls high notes are really amazing.

This song is proof that Alice in Chains was always bigger than just Layne or Jerry or any individual member of the band. The music is bigger than all of them and even if they lose a member, the music will never die. I listen to this and I hear something greater than any one person. Alice in Chains forever.

Willian Durval is great Singer 🎤👏👏👏

one of the best songs of all time

No one will ever be as perfect as layne, but will gives great effort and does good.

That second verse man. Duvall is doing some real pleading. I just listened like 10x in a row.

Hearing Alice in Chains with William Duvall instead of Layne is kind of like seeing your mom with a new boyfriend after she divorced your dad (or he died). You don't like him at first, but once you realize he's cool you start to come around.

He slayed this song. I love AIC so much and I'm really glad they found him

You can’t replace Layne but this guy does a damn good job rip Layne 🤘

Loved Layne. Miss him terribly. Love William. Love Alice. Jerry rules. Damn! This gave me goosebumps.

The guitars sounds amazing I'll give it that! And Kinney as usual is bad ass!!

I had an itch in my left ear about 3/4ths of the way into the video. That itch is gonna have to wait I said. These boys are making magic right here.

Vocal dude is fckn rockstar, and yes i know who the original vox is but i dont want to mention his name , time to give this guy some love ,

Wow did not expect that to be so good. Shame I couldn't see this live. Gives me similar chills to the original. Top notch job here.

Hes a bad ass singer in his own right!! With lots of soul!! Hes bringing in alot to the band!!! Replacing a lead vocalist who his legendary is almost impossible. But Alice in Chains has done it. Very few have like ACDC. But I think he is amazing and brings a whole new sound to the group.

no one can replace layne but william has proven himself worthy to be on this band. he is giving these old songs a modern vocal sound while keeping that dark, haunting flavor that we love about AIC

Layne's voice was unique, but, guys, admit it, William is doing his job very well.

What a brutal vocal right there! Fucking love it

This is awesome RIP Layne we miss you and awesome job Jerry and Duvall

soooooooooooo good there amazing even after lane passed there special Duvall is a great vocalist I'm glad they decided to keep going after lane passed there still ALC and always will be!!

DuVall sings this like a torchy, pain-filled Blues ballad. LOVE IT.

Thank you William Duval. Thanks to you, I was able to see Alice in Chains in Brazil when I believed that this would never be possible.

Saw them live in Regina, 2013. I had never even really heard of Alice in Chains a few months before, and they proved to put on a great performance! Some of their new stuff kicks ass too, but this song never fails to give me chills.

god damn that's a fine performance. Chills down my spine with the first chorus...

Respect to this Gentleman great job Mr!!!!!

William sounds great!

hell yeah ... what a fucking great performance ... Layne Stayley would be proud ... William Duvall is a damn good singer R.I.P. Layne Stayley

no one can fill in for Staley but he does a damn fine job. i havent seen them live with him, but friends who have give the stamp of approval.

Props to him for taking this on even with all the hate he had to know was on th e way!

I’m convinced that Jerry Cantrell sold his soul to the devil in return of perfect guitar tone.

Godlike vocal. That intro...

I don't give a FUCK what anybody says, William is the perfect replacement for Layne.

I love this! This is So great! Fantastic vocals by Willuam DuVall. I think he is a wonderful singer.

I am travelling a lot in this world of music...35 years on and on hopefully more...i need to stop at this masterpiece ...thank you Alice in Chains (K)

A heartfelt and deep song thank you El Paso radio circa 1993

William ... doing an amazing job there ... AMAZING ...

I'd love to hear him sing more stuff on their next album... His range is unreal, and I think he is being wasted just harmonizing all the time... don't get me wrong, I like the last two albums, but man, what he can do when he really turns it loose...

This gave me goosebumps for real!!

Duvall is dripping with funk and I love it

i give this dude a lot of credit....tryin to fill shoes of a voice like Layne is next to impossible....but damned if this dude didnt do about as good a job as you can possibly do. its good to see Alice live again, id pay to go see them with this dude, no question.

Boy it hurts, Made me cry but great job man!! Keep on playing guys Layne would want this too I think.

I think he really nailed this song, eventhough he is not Layne. He really brings Laynes spirit among us everyday!

great job Duvall !

Absolutely beautiful.

Very good performance!

Can't wait to see these guys July 22nd. Grateful to see Duvall carrying on the legacy. Favorite band of all time. Got me through 6 years of some heavy heroin addiction

William Duvall is William Duvall he has his own style he doesn't try to replace Layne. There are 14+ years since he is in Alice in Chains and everything turned up great. William is a great singer. Layne was a great singer and people should just let him rest in peace. He is singing in heaven now.

Ya know it's not the fact that we hate this lead singer Matter of fact he gets an A for effort. We just want the old Alice in chains back!!!!! Its like eating a taco on wheat bread You can call it a taco.......but its not a taco without the shell

Couldn’t have picked a better replacement for Layne. We all love Layne tremendously. I feel like William protects the integrity of Layne’s work. He does an amazing job.

I’m on my Alice In Chains splurge, and finally listened to the 2 newest albums, he’s certainly no Layne, but for what it’s worth, he keeps the band going, and doing a kick ass job! Might have to catch them on tour!
