Miraculously, Alice In Chains seem poised to pull off the most difficult and improbable rock tale, the likes of which we have not seen since AC/DC resurrected themselves after losing Bon Scott and somehow managed to become even bigger in the process. After singer Layne Staley passed away in 2002, most would have been forgiven for believing Alice In Chains were finished. Defiantly, they have found new life in lead vocalist William Duvall and are arguable producing some of their finest music and live shows ever. This past Saturday night, they demonstrated their masterful skill at moving on and yet still connecting with their illustrious past before a delirious, sold out Loop crowd at the Aragon Ballroom.
