Potent Quotables: Chains Still Suffering
- Posted on Jul 13th 2009 1:00PM by Kim Davis

"This is us moving on from a really, really devastating blow. I carry this every day forever." --Sean Kinney
In a recent interview, Alice in Chains drummer Sean Kinney opened up about fallen lead singer Layne Staley, who they've only lightly talked about until their forthcoming album, 'Black Gives Way Into Blue.'

The band is still alice in chains. Props to layne who was great, cantrell and the other guys are still amazing. Layne is gone, carry on the tradition and the name. AC/DC didn't change their name after the death of bon scott. neither should AIC. Cudos to William, his job is hard enough without having to take crap from laynes fans, move on. True AIC fans will stick to their guns.

It was such a tradagy to lose Layne (RIP) but lets face it , all bands move on after the death of a member(s) . I could list a few . I bought the new c d and although it's not Layne it's still good . Kudos to Alice in Chains for making the right decision to continue on .

As I spend hours upon hours watching live youtube performances of the band with Layne in lead, I can't help but support Alice In Chains decision to carry on. Is this what Layne would have wanted? That I cannot answer, but I do know he is no longer suffering in pain and agony. God rest your soul in peace, I love you Layne!

"LANE NEEDS REHAB DUDE, HES GOING TO OD JUST LIKE ANDY (ANDY WOODS) DID" You cant say I didn't tell you so Bro. When your frontman locks himself in his Brickstreet Apt and does nothing but shoot smack and eat M&M's, theres a problem Houston. Everybody in Seattle knew it and did nothing.

AIC have been one of my favourite bands for a VERY long time, having seen them from the front at sonisphere festival and at the tiny venue that is Scala in london recently i have to say William Duvall is brilliant. he doesnt try to sound like layne but gives the songs his own feel. People need to give them a break, they gave two massively awesome performances at their recent UK shows and i think they are just as good as ever. YES layne staley was amazing and will never be forgotten but there were 3 other members that made up the band and to say AIC is nothing without layne is an insult to them! Jerry Cantrell, Mike Inez and Sean kinney are legends and for me William Duvall is a welcomed addition, i also met the whole band at scala and they are lovely dudes to boot! we are PRIVILEGED that we get the opportunity to see such an iconic band playing their brilliant songs live and i think its what layne would have wanted. REAL fans would understand.

July 16 2009 at 11:11 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI still think it's shitty what they're doing. Change the name; start a new group.
July 16 2009 at 4:48 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyYeah. that's what I say also. They should change the name of the band. Maybe something like: The chains of Alice. That's all that's left of AIC is the chains. Right? Layne was Alice. Without Layne, it just is not the same. if the rest of the band cared about Layne, they would respect him without useing the name Alice.
