Jerry is down to earth, talented as fuck, and a real survivor.

I love Duvall's humility. I love Layne, but as a long time AiC fan it took me a lot of time to buy into Duvall's vocals. And I have to say, I appreciate the part of the video where he talks about not having done enough to deserve a signature guitar. Love this guy now.

@@moresnare Every AIC fan knows how you feel. Remember what Sean and Jerry said that after the benefit show they did in 2005 the consensus by fans who saw the show felt that the band should move forward to honor Layne as well as help the band and the fans move through the grieving process. Everybody who saw William at that show were totally behind him and the band after that show. Considering what the band has been through having William is a better fit than I thought possible. We cannot replace Layne, everybody knows it but the band has done well at honoring Laynes memory. Personally I will say this about bands that are forced to do a line up change. I really like what AIC has been able to do in comparison to what AC/DC did, nothing against Brian Johnson but Bon left behind a pair of shoes that just cannot be filled . But AC/DC are one of my favorite groups and when comparing situations with bands. AIC has done a better job Than AC/DC did.🎶

@@Gratefulman1965 REALLY well said. I'm warming up to William, but Layne will simply always _BE_ AIC to me. And I agree wholeheartedly about AC/DC. I CANNOT STAND Brian Johnson's voice! 🤮 Bon Scott had one of THE MOST unique voices in rock that simply _cannot_ be duplicated or matched (much like Layne, Robert Plant, Kurt or Chris). When Bon died, and they rolled out BJ, I was DONE. 👎However, I'm such an AIC fan I'm trying really hard to give Will a chance. And so far I'm very impressed, not that my opinion means anything.

Love love LOVE hearing great artists like these 2 get excited talking about their beloved gear! I like "behind the scenes" stories about almost anything, but music/band stuff is always so fascinating and special because the equipment used is typically the cream of the crop for that artist, something they use constantly and adore wholeheartedly. And just the fact that they can rattle off the names & effects of all of the equipment that they use without missing a beat is really amazing. 😳 Jerry is quite obviously a musical gearhead, he just has a natural gift for it. He makes me believe that he's truly using _way_ more than the typical 10% of his brain capacity than the rest of us "mere mortals"! 🧠 Great interviews!

Great interview!! great rig rundown!

I have avoided AIC since Staley died, simply because I didn't think there was a person walking this earth that could takeover his duties. I just listened to their older stuff, contently.

Armaan Shah Ok then correct me and say he's a great musician instead of acting like a child. How about form a new band? Cantrell would make that happen. AIC should not be about replacing Layne, they should move on. Would Nirvana be Nirvana without Cobain? Would Soundgarden be Soundgarden without Cornell? Laynes voice was so unique that you can't replace that. A counter example would be Lynyrd Skynyrd. It was a 7 man band at the time of Ronnie's death and people recognized the band as opposed to Ronnie himself. Not only that, the Van Zants have a stellar family musician background. That's why Skynyrd worked. Its different with AIC, that being less people and Staley being such a unique vocalist. Come back and talk when you educate yourself and act like a grown up.
