seeing them live now wouldn't fullfill what Alice in Chains is to me. Without Layne, it's not really the real band. The new singer-I've seen the live videos and I have nothing against him or the band for continuing on, but without Layne's words or voice, I don't think I could have kicked my own heroin habit. He always has a great place in my heart, maybe moreso than any other musician. AIC isn't my most favorite band overall, but Layne is by far my favorite musician hands down.
