cooking up an article for my substack linking my love for alice in chains with my feelings of alienation from womanhood <333
just remembered i'm seeing jerry cantrell in september and oh my god i am SO FUCKING EXCITED
omg yeah. like way to undersell the contributions of literally every other band member. i know "parasocial" is a bit of a buzzword but like,,,,,,,,,, is that not what this is 💀💀💀
am i the only one who feels like "continuing aic without layne is disrespectful to layne's memory" is such a limpwristed take. like. did you know layne staley? like personally? did he tell you himself that he wanted the band to end with him............. or do you think that the people who knew him intimately well actually knew what they were doing
If you don’t at least support William Duvall you’re not an actual Alice In Chains fan.
If you prefer the Layne stuff, that’s fine. I agree that Dirt is perfection and idk if they’ll ever do an album on that level again.
But Cantrell, Inez, and Kinney are AIC, and they went and found a singer they work well with, sound great with, write well with, and are genuine friends with; and they have been putting out plenty of excellent music with some great sounds, deep lyrics, and fantastic sludge. And the way Duvall and Cantrell’s vocals mix is astounding.
We all miss Layne, and we all love the stuff that Layne did.
Duvall is not a Layne replacement, he’s just the next step that AIC took afterwards. And they’ve released 3 albums with Duvall, all of which are really solid and it’s about damn time that people put some respect on Duvall’s name.

never forget layne staley punching a nazi onstage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! imo that speaks for itself
I REALLY can't wrap my head around people who claim they are grunge fans and support Trump at the same time.
Trump and his administration are against everything the grunge community stands for.
today's track for better or worse
i fear i have been loving this album for almost 20 years with no signs of stopping
i love hearing the audience cheering in live recordings of songs. i love the immortalization not just of the performance, but of the people who were there to support and appreciate it.
i love when poetry makes me feel a little sick

I love dressing grunge because you don’t have to pay a shit ton of money to do so. You just gotta listen to the music and wear random ass shit that doesn’t fit you found in your closet, your dad’s clothes and $6 jeans from the thrift store with beat up converse.
