Yeah I don't care for bands once they lose their lead singer. Sublime, Alice in Chains even though Jerry is a damn good singer, it's just not the same.
Actually saw AIC with the Phil Lynott look alike. They weren't bad at all, went more for Cantrell than anything but it wasn't terrible at all.
I heard some of their new stuff and you're right they don't sound bad, but I just loved Layne. The dude was so fucking haunting, all his baggage came out in every note. Especially the song Nutshell. Probably one of my favorite songs of all time.
