Alice in Chains Return

02/22/06
.
(antiMusic) We promised to keep you updated on this story, here is the latest. The admin of Jerry Cantrell's official website posted an update about the Alice in Chains reunion. Although he doesn't spill the beans about who will be taking over vocal duties for the late Layne Staley, he does confirm that the band will reunite for the Nova Rock festival and drops a hint that more shows may be booked. Here is his posting:

I hate to keep on saying, this but as most of you have heard Alice will be performing at Nova Rock in Austria. This is true. Alice is back.

Europe is a long way to go for just one show, so I feel that we are going to have a lot more to do.

Because this is Europe and a big festival don't count on any special Alice tickets but you never know what the future brings.

Let me explain why things went down the way they went down. It was not the way we wanted it to happen. The festival promoter secured a bunch of really big bands like Metallica, Guns n' Roses and Alice. The promoter decided to have a big press conference on Monday. We had not finished securing the "business side" of the show by the time Monday rolled around. Because Monday was President's Day, our office was closed and we could not make a decission regarding releasing the info to you guys. Our European agent, because our office was closed made an executive decision to release the show info. We fully support his choice but could not say anything untill we spoke to him to get the full stroy and due to the time difference and travel we could not make the announcement untill just now.

Guys, please remember that nothing is official unless it comes from our office. We like to surprise you but sometimes that is not always possible.

Jerry, Mike, Sean and the managment team are doing our best to keep you guys informed. You mean a lot to the guys and they want you to know that.

Rock On!
and
Hello Europe.

I feel the rumblings of more stuff coming down the road.

jerry cantrell sang on almost every song anyway no offense to layne but jerry was the band and i cant wait to see what they can do after all these years


Posted by Zach:
AIC is awesome! To Bad Layne is gone but they're still one of the best. That made my day.


Posted by nutshell:
there ya`ll go chasing misprinted lies again..


Posted by Christ:
Boo! Layne WAS Alice in Chains. I will ignore anything they do from Layne's premature death on.


Posted by quantum_A:
OMG OMG OMG OMG WOOOT

In all reality Jerry was 90% of that band, RIP Layne, we love ya...but Jerry wrote most of the material anyways :)


Posted by GTD:
Word. Even though Jerry wrote many of the words that Layne sang, it's not AIC without Mr. Staley. That's like Nirvana getting back together with Puddle of Mud guy singing. Play some AIC, but don't call it AIC.


Posted by Layne was AIC:
They shouldn't call it Alice in Chains.


Posted by Stormreaver:
RIP Layne Staley. Rock on AIC.
