I definitely want to see them in LA and possibly San Diego. Anyone else going to any of the dates?

LA - May 18
San Diego - May 19
Chicago - May 21
Boston - May 22
NYC - May 23

Presale for San Diego, Chicago, and Boston starts tomorrow if anyone is intersted. Go here to get a password to buy tickets. Tickets are will-call only, unfortunately, which makes me hesitant to buy. Does anyone know how hard it would be to change the name for pickup if I am unable to go? (Or if the price is right on ebay?)

what's will-call??

pick them up at the venue on the day of the event

no sh!t. I think they are dishonoring him by calling it "Alice in Chains."

quit whining people. cantrell wrote 90% of AIC's material, and they all grieved extensively for layne. there's no disrespect here - only regret that layne can never tour again.

i'd rather see 3/4 of AIC than 0/4 of AIC.

I don't think they're disrespecting him, I just think it's a different band without him. It's not AiC.

Well then, I guess the asstard shouldn't have OD'd.

I think they are right in going out as AIC. ASAIK it is all the original members - stanley.

No kidding. How many bands have had to replace members in the past and still retained the same name? ACDC, Metallica (twice), Van Halen (three times), to name a few of the big ones.

EDIT: And while yes it is a tradegy that Staley will not be part of the lineup, AiC - Staley is better than no AiC at all. I am sure they will deal with the loss just fine and I hope I get tickets. I never got to see them live since I was too young (man would I have loved to see AiC opening for Metallica).

Damn, presale tickets for SD went fast! I was refreshing the ticketmaster page and by the time it came up and I got all the info in, it said there were no tickets available. Probably sold out in less than a minute. Now there's a bunch of tickets up on ebay for 2-800 dollars. Bastards. I hope they didn't sell out the entire show with presale tickets. I want another chance! I'm even more determined now to get LA tickets...

I absolutely love AiC, they are what I would determine to be one of the top 5 bands out of the 90's. And I hold no ill will towards them for touring with that name. Layne did not "make" the band, they were a unit, and Cantrell wrote most of the songs anyway. The above mentioned allusion to AC/DC was exactly what I was thinking. I'm just glad to have the chance to hear AiC's songs performed live once again. No D.C. dates, though

Honestly, what did you expect considering how small the venues are? GL with LA though. The Roxy is TINY.

i went to that tour to see alice in chains but staley was either in rehab or broke his leg and so what band replaced them?


candlebox - argh. i enjoyed metallica but i really wanted to see alice in chains

why couldn't they come to texas

you can talk about layne's voice this layne's voice that, but the sound came from the 2 of them harmonizing during songs. i saw a list somewhere of the singers they were going to use but of course i can't find it anymore.

 

[DAGTA]

I'd like to see them but I'm not going to drive that far.
