To be honest, I'm not really sure what to think of this. There's only one thing I can tell for sure: If they're coming to Germany, (and chances are not that bad) I'll be there!

Hey, they're going to be on VH1 Decade's Live with Heart in a couple of weeks. You never know.

Dude, I've seen Jerry live with Comes with the Fall, that guy can sing. Trust me, if William DuVall is their new Singer, this isn't a bad thing at all. I think it'd be better if they changed their name from Alice In Chains, but I'll take it if they are as half as good as when I went and saw them.

I actually met William DuVall after the show, and he's a great guy too. I'm stoked about this.

Road Runner Records is a joke. They have mostly just horrible Main Stream Amercian bands. They could have picked a better label.

That's what I thought too but I can't blame Jerry for it. I mean, he wrote more than 90% of the AiC music himself, even if Sean and Mike weren't involved he could keep the name.
Anyway, I downloaded some songs from "Comes with the Fall" and Duvall is definitely a good singer. He sounds a bit like Chris Cornell.

So, unsurprisingly AiC have confirmed Duvall to be their touring singer. I'm really glad Phil Anselmo won't do it. I heard his versions of "Them Bones" and "Would?" and... he just can't get them right, at least in my opinion.
Anyway, according to the official website "some European fans are in for some very special treats" as far as the vocals are concerned. My guess is Maynard James Keenan will sing at the German concert (since it's a festival he'll be around anyway). That would be... wow.

Why the fu*k don't any "good" bands like AiC among countless others ever come to the central US on tour :(

Hey, that's not true. Pearl Jam for example is constantly touring the US, it's been ages since they've been to Europe.
