haha i actually pretty much agree with everything he said.

wow that solo and the TIL love solo have an eerily similar sound

haha funny you should mention that I was actually going to correct myself. songs like chemical tribe, pig charmer, locked on, she was my girl, and anger rising are a bunch of kick ass tunes.

here's my take on this...

nobody here is a member of alice in chains. nobody here personally knew layne. nobody here has the right to tell those guys whether or not they are right or wrong. this is THEIR band. if it were not the right thing to do, i have a feeling that they would not be doing it at all. so while you may feel like you have some say because the music spoke to you as a fan, you really don't.

zakk spoke very fondly of axl at a concert i went to a couple years back. talked about recording with them and how he wished axl would "put the fuckin record out!"
