Has anyone else heard the new single yet?
As a lifelong AIC fan, I didn't hold out much hope for this album. I'm glad I wasn't excited over it, the single is fucking terrible. 
AIC is dead. Long live AIC. |
| This song? I don't think it's too bad. Cantrell always sang a bit on their old stuff. I would like to see what the remaining members of AIC and Chris Cornell could do together. Maybe lightning could strike twice as Audioslave was an amazing band. |

When they released the spectacular Original Fire as the first single I had high hopes but the rest of the album was nowhere near as good. |

Don't even get me started about Duvall 
Cornell would be great, shame it didn't happen. I would have also been happy with Wes Scantlin from Puddle of Mudd. Before you knock em, check out some of the Youtube clips when he performed with AIC during the tsunami relief thing. Way better then Duvall

AIC is dead. Long live AIC. Havne't heard the new stuff yet. I saw them open up for KISS on the first "farewell tour" in Lou, KY. There were people wearing AIC shirts booing. They basically had propped Layne up with his mic stand. Worst. Show. Ever. (and one of the best when KISS came out) |

| In my opinion there is NO replacing Layne, when he died that was the end of AIC as far as I am concerned. He had such a unique voice and while Cantrell's vocals are great Staley's voice made the whole thing come together. I like Cornell in Soundgarden and I thought he was OK in the first Audioslave album, but putting him in AIC would not be very good or at least it would not be AIC. If they changed the name to something else it would be fine, but those are big shoes to fill. |

I've been an AIC fan forever and IMO AIC without Layne isn't AIC much like the Dead without Jerry... Doors without Morrison...Blind Melon without Shannon Hoon...Sublime without Brad Nowell etc etc etc..
On a side note I will check out the new AIC I just don't expect to care for it. |
