The remaining members of Alice In Chais - Jerry Cantrell, Mike Inez and Sean Kinney - are to play their first show together since 1996. This will happen at the Premiere Club in Seattle in February, at a tsunami benefit show. They'll be joined by an as yet unnamed vocalist.

layne was friends with scooter ward from Cold that would be wise call, since theme-wise the 2 bands are similar

aaron lewis, sully erna and scooter ward are all friends and fans, ward is prolly too busy in studio at the moment but erna and lewis would be great singers, they can hit most of the notes between the 2 of em too.....will be interesting

I agree with PorcupineOpeth99(who I am now calling Porky), Sully and Lewis can hit more notes than Scooter can. BUT, I'm willing to say that Erna is singing.

Maybe they'll have both Lewis and Sully sing. I'm not sure, but being as alot of the songs had Cantrell as the lead vocalist, you might be willing to think that it's some local guy they got.

I think jerry cantrell should do it, he sounds alot like layne did on his own solo projects especially on degradation trip but im almost willing to bet its the guy from damageplan they did record a song for dimebag and im sure he could do it i guess we will find out soon enough i hope it is taped. alice in chains live is amazing mtv unplugged was in my opinion better than their recorded material

damage plans singer could also pull off some of the vox tricks, and yeah half of what made AIC so great were the harmonies between Layne, Jerry and at times the guitar all at once. While i'm confident Cantrell can indeed cover Laynes parts...who would cover Jerrys?...my guess would be to have any of the aforementioned singers, their a great foil to Jerrys time tested croon, and powerful enough to step in Laynes shoes, if for only a few songs....I miss AIC now that we're on the subject...their in my top 20 best major label bands....classic, timeless stuff..

It's good that Pat got it.

Personally, I can't see Cornell singing AIC songs. I know they've sang together before, but those words are untouchable to him, it's like if Eddie Vedder would start singing Nirvana songs. You don't do that!

Maybe it's just me.

I know that Layne was in another band other than AIC and Mad Season, but I'm not sure of the name of it, I'll see what I can find out.

Best to do a google search of it and not an MP3 search. That just uses that letters not keywords.
