while he did, it seems like his solo stuff just doesn't have the edge that aic music had, imho.

I guess I'd rather see an artist go out at the peak of their success than completely whore themselves out to the almighty dollar and organize some lame ass tour every 5-10 years when they've burned through their royalty checks.

*cough* KISS *cough* Stones *cough*

Staying power isn't running a tour and bending your fans over an amp for $300 tickets.

You mean Jerry Cantrell is a fscking genius, right? He was the brains behind AiC, not Layne.
