New Alice in Chains singer DuVall has familiarized himself with the entire Alice in Chains catalog. His excitement about certain songs, many rarer Alice in Chains cuts, is creating an atmosphere where choosing a summer tour set list is fun.
Jerry Cantrell, Sean Kinney, and Michael Inez must be glad they found DuVall, after the 2005 Benefit for Indonesia, post-tsunami. The new group played in small clubs for awhile and now the venues are getting bigger.
All the kinks have been worked out, the fans have embraced DuVall, and the tour is in full swing.
Alice in Chains is making a sweep on the East Coast, hitting Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Asheville, the Soldiers & Sailors Memorial in Chattanooga, Tom Lee Park in Memphis, then up to New Jersey and New York, before heading to Italy (Savonera, Roma, and Noventa Padovana). Check this ticket sales site for added shows, after the band gets home from Europe.
The death of Layne Staley
Alice in Chains have won Best MTV Video Award for a song in a film ("Would?" from the Matt Dillon & Bridget Fonda film "Singles"). They have received Grammy Nominations (for songs "Get Born Again", "Again", "Grind", "I Stay Away", and "Man in the Box"). Of all the so-called grunge bands from Seattle, Alice in Chains are the "brooding-most" and "riffingest".
The band's themes have expanded and gotten happier since the addition of DuVall on vocals, although they still sing about violent forces that constrain freedom and the effort it takes to be forcefully aware of the mediocrity of the present day climate. They could be accused of being almost heavy metal, if it were not for the fact their sense of style is much closer to the tongue-in-cheek nihilism of Nirvana than the serious fist-shaking vigor of bands like Judas Priest or Iron Maiden.
But Alice's sound is very heavy, but containing too much melody to be pigeon-holed as any delimiting brand of music. Alice in Chains underscores the reason bands like Mudhoney, Nirvana, and Pearl Jam never seemed a cohesive lot under the "Grunge" moniker: they are diverse.
"Check My Brain", "All Secrets Known", "Last of My Kind", "Your Decision", "A Looking in View", "When the Sun Rose Again", "Acid Bubble", and "Private Hell", from "Black Gives Way", have been co-mingling with the older classic Alice In Chains tunes since DuVall joined them. "We Die Young", "Man in the Box", "Sea of Sorrow", "Bleed the Freak", and "I Can't Remember", some well known to fans, some obscure tunes too, all have a chance to get played at an Alice in Chains concert.
