I've seen them live with him, and he was excellent. Doesn't quite have the motion of Layne, but he's easily just as good a singer. The mix on Kimmel wasn't great, have a look at any of their other performances with him.
He's not bad, but it's just not Alice in Chains. I hate it when bands replace a vocalist and keep the name. With rare exception, you can replace a drummer, bassist or guitarist and the sound would still be the same, but vocalists can't be easily replaced. Like I said, he did a decent job of it, but it's not worthy of being called AIC.
Mmmm it's true, but let's be honest, Cantrell is the basis of AIC. As long as he's still there, it's the same main songwriter and so on. Plus Duvall sounds a heck of a lot like Layne. But yeah I do see where you're coming from. But nfortunately the dude died, it's not like they kicked him out and continued without him under the same name.
