Yeah I heard about this. They originally wanted to do an "Alice in Chains" Rockstar but they surviving members turned them down. This does sound pretty cool though.
I also heard that the band Fuel fired their supposed drug addicted lead singer and are touring the country right now looking for a replacment.

That sux about Fuel. I didn't know the lead singer was an addict. I heard that the drummer left the band about a year ago....

To me, the whole Alice in Chains thing shouldn't be touched. I mean it's different when you want to form a whole new band, but Alice in Chains' music (like INXS's) can never be touched...

I agree Motley. But I never got to see AIC live. The one time we were supposed to see them, they had cancelled (they were opening for Metallica) because of Layne's drug problems. So I kinda would like to see them, just cause I want to see Jerry Cantrell live, but it would be weird with a new lead singer. They are touring Europe in the summer, don't know if they will tour the States after that.

BTW, the Rockstar thing looks cool- does anyone know when it will start?
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
I saw Alice in Chains live back in 1994. They put on a helluva show. I like alot of Jerry Cantrell's solo stuff as well. Saw him open up for Metallica a few years back. If you liked AIC, check out his solo stuff it's worth a listen. His CD "Boggy Depot" shows his true talents as a songwriter and also shows that he was one of the big reasons for AIC's success. I couldn't find a date on the start of the Rockstar contest. All it says is starting in the summer...

May 5th, VH1 Classics will be airing a Heart concert that the surviving members of AIC played at. I guess most of the fans were AIC fans and booed the other guests like Carrie Underwood and somebody else.I can't remember now. I guess it was a great concert, and eventhough it was supposed to be about Heart, everybody came to see AIC.

oh joker how ive missed your gramatically challenged musings i rarely have any idea what you are talking about but thoroughly enjoy trying to decipher it spelling is the new rock and roll thank you and goodnight!

Actually it will happen. From what I have heard, the three members of the new band have been meeting and practicing here and there when they are not on tour. I liked Voivod. Didn't their guitarist die early this year/late last year? So sad. I thought Voivod had an awesome sound...
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
I've also heard a rumor (for Alice in Chains fans) that Phil Anselmo (former singer/screamer from Pantera) is being looked at as a singer for a reformed Alice in Chains band. Phil's voice isn't really like Layne's was but I would probably still keep an open mind and give it a listen or go see them if they tour...

if only i had a way to contact AIC lol.... my fiance has the exact voice of the old lead AIC singer...he would be a star!
