Presales for Alice's Four Special Acoustic Shows

The lucky cities that will be hosting these shows are Milwaukee, WI on August 31; St. Louis, MO on September 1; Austin, TX on September 29 and New Orleans, LA on October 1.

Beginning today, Wednesday, July 25, the AliceInChains.com Store will be holding exclusive presales for these four shows. For exact presale times, head over to the Tour Calendar. And don't forget that the earlier you buy your tickets, the better your seats will be so make sure that you're sign up for an account before the presales kick off this Wednesday.

Franck said:

Ah come on!!!It was as much Jerry's band as it was Laynes.It's still Alice in Chains,Hey can anyone tell me do Alice in Chains still peform the songs Layne wrote?Because all the recent live stuff i've seen on you tube has been songs either Jerry Cantrell wrote or the whole band are credited for writing.oh and come back to europe.especially Dublin Ireland.seeing Alice peform live accustic songs should bring back memories of their kick ass unplugged show.keep rockin Alice in Chains.r.i.p. Layne.

angry chair said:

they played angry chair, man in the box which I believed layne wrote. also layne had a band called alice and chains with three other guys back in the late 80's. But I have a feeling that people on this blog weren't born yet or were still in diapers!

smokey said:

AIC, don't worry about the naysayers!  I'll be in St. Louis  with a bunch of other AIC nuts and I'm sure it will be an awesome show!  This news just made my year!

maverickngoose95 said:

I am in Phoenix and I am jealous of you all in the cities  ( st louis in particular ) that get to see the unplugged shows.....not only is it exclusively AIC, but they are cheaper and without the other crappy bands that I have to put up with......Not saying any names..... : )

Unplugged in Austin!  Best news of the year. It puts chills up and down my spine to have the oppertunity to experience this live. I remember the historic unplugged show on MTV like it was yesterday.  Wished I could have been there, now I can relive it again.  AIC is back and even though Layne is gone, William has done as bad ass job to carry the torch for the future.  Can't wait to hear the new stuff.

Thank you guys for coming back, it really means alot to those of us who grew up with your music.  It brings back memories of some of the beat times of my youth.

See you in Austin!

Jason said:

Milwaukee deserved a show, it is just a bonus that I don't have to sit thourgh VR too.  Couldn't believe there wasn't one in for Milwaukee in the original tour; this is even better.  Everybody who thinks that they shouldn't do sh!t without Layne is entitled to their opinion; but their opinions don't matter; Jerry, Shawn and Mike's do.

I also added a comment to another news piece to this effect, but I thought I would post here. You guys should totally do an acoustic only show in WA!!!! Come on....

RistBand said:

What all this trash talk about VR ?!  C'mon!  SLASH has been fuckin rockin for decades!   Y'all r flakin, yo.  U dont like it, dont buy it - but show some respect.  VR and AIC in one show is the best thing I'll heard since Metallica and Guns n Roses blasted a crater in the Rose Bowl!  -> And I'll be up front again! <-    \m/

BTW, I saw AIC in Grande Prairie - they are a class act, and always will be... unless Jerry pulls some crap like Ax-hole (Chinese what? When?) Ha!  K, L8!

Wish I coulda seen AIC in the Layne days, but I'll take 'em anyway!!  Can't wait to see them unplugged and live.  Jerry Rocks in concert, but never seen the others.  Should be a damn good show in Milwaukee.  Peace.

Dan said:

STOP the BS.  This is sooo ridiculous.  You guys are looking really desperate.  Keeping it a tribute is FINE but to live in the past from your past accomplishments with Duvall singing is just stupid.  START NEW cause it IS NEW!!!!  And Sean, you should be ashamed of yourself ole friend.

SirenWasHere said:

Hey 'Dan', don't say a THING about Sean.

gemini said:

Your a negative person Dan. You should be ashamed of YOURSELF! So what that it makes us happy to love AIC. My dad died when I was in high school and the only thing i identified with at that devastating time in my life were my friends and AIC. What's ridiculous is you hating on people who love a positive thing. You must have pain,hurt and anger inside you and i feel bad for you. Try actually listening to the lyrics and maybe you too will find solice in them. Peace be with you.

YOU GUYS ARE FULL OF SHIT THIS BAND IS CARRYING ON BECAUSE THEY LOVE THIS MUSIC AND THEY LOVED LAYNE  YOU GUYS NEED TO GET OVER THIS BULLSHIT OF THEM WRONGING LAYNE SOMEHOW AND AS FAR AS SEAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF?? WHAT ARE YOU A PERSONAL FRIEND OF LAYNE AND SEAN????  YOU SOUND RIDICULOUS!!!  SO DAN DON;T GO TO THE SHOWS, DON'T BUY THE NEW ALBUM WHEN IT COMES OUT ANS SIT AROUND AND WISH FOR LAYNE TO COME BACK!!!  BUT I GOT NEWS FOR YOU HE"S NOT COMING BACK IF LAYNE WERE STILL ALIVE THEN EVERYONE WOULD HAVE A REASON TO BITCH BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE DOING IT WITHOUT HIM  HE IS NOT HERE TO VETO THIS ANYMORE IT SUCKS BUT IT IS TRUE


YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN ON MY MIND
COULD I STAND RIGHT HERE LOOK YOU STRAIGHT IN THE EYE
AND SAY THAT IT'S OVER NOW???????

centex11 said:

Just wondering.... Did anybody have any luck getting tix to the Austin unplugged show on the AIC.com site pre-sale? Man, I was logged in @ 10:25 and got nowhere. Hope I can get some tix locally or it's Houston with VR which I definitely won't complain about. Ristband - I was at the Grande Prairie show last year too, it kicked ass!!!!!!
July 25, 2007 3:52 PM
 

gemini said:

centex11, I tried from 10:30 till they sold out around noon. Good luck to you. I'm hoping that I get them when they go on sale again Aug 3rd. I too was also @ the Grand Prarie show. I had private box seats my awesome boyfriend scored. Swear to God Vinnie Paul from Pantera was in the box next to us. Walked past him on my way to get more beers. Everyone keep thinking positive. I wish we could all see them in Austin! Luvs,Gemini

i think that is very gay that alice in chains are doing all this touring with their new singer (William d.) and still calling them selfs alice.  lane's voise me what alice in chains are. not jerry's guitar licks, or mike's token base riffs, it was lane's voice that was what people enjoyed. so i find it stupid that they are going around calling them selfs alice. what they need to do when they tour is make the whole tour a tribute to lane  staley.

maverickngoose95 said:

Aww, I am just happy that the band lives on!....I just wish that I could hit one of the unplugged shows........all of you that get to go to one of those shows are truely the lucky ones!   Not only are the tickets cheaper in most cases.....you get to have the band all to yourselves that night!!!!!

Ginny said:

I don't think it's hating on the band OR the fans to state that Alice should move on as a totally NEW group with a name change.  

You fans can call USold fans  living in the past.  But it is YOU and the BAND who are living in the past.  Whether you want to accept it or not LAYNE's VOICE is what Alice IS about. (layne & Jerry too).  WITHOUT ONE; YOU CANNOT MOVE ON AS IT WAS & PRETEND.  wHY noT? Because ALICE is an ORIGINAL!!!!  Stick them where they belong!!  They have accomplished an original legecy that most band never accomplish but can only try to copy but are NEVER successful.  I don't want to see Alice laughed at as a copy band.  They went out last year as a tribute.  NOw, what are they doing?  They don't even want to accept what they are doing themselves.  They're playing all of you.

no one is getting playrd here  not everyone has to like this but for the love of god quit trying to bring everyone else down with your negativity why can't you just let the people who want to enjoy this enjoy it  i have followed this band for fifteen years maybe some of us who didn't get very many chances to see this band back then ( i saw them twice with LAYNE) like this idea LAYNE was DEFINITELY what originally attracted me to this band his voice is from ABOVE and there will never be another but i am tired of all you assholes raining on everyone else"s parade after the small venue tour they did in support of the DIRT album, and aside from LOLLAPALOOZA they just didn"t tour to speak of there is a demand for this band even without LAYNE  no matter what all of you assholes say!!!


CAN YOU SEE THE END????  CHOKE ON ME MY FRIEND

I saw them in detroit last tour and I was skeptical but they rocked the house...I'm flyin down to St. Louis to see them without VR because VR sucks...and they're headlining, thats a joke....anyone hear anything about set length?   I see it's called acoustic hour, are they just playing an hour? i was hoping for a longer show...but we can take what we can get

i did more acid and fried crispier balls than timothy leary while listening to these fuckers. i think layne is totally relating to guys like me. i will be hearing his voice in my head while some of the greatest riffs  engrained in my brain are backing him up. ill be 10 feet from that shit in st.louis.besides, if the new dude shows too much disrespect, we'll just beat his ass!

I've loved Alice more than any other band since the very beginning...   I live in New Orleans and I would trade the unpllugged show for a heavy-ass plugged in show faster than you can say "Nutshell".   But don't get me wrong, I'm so grateful that they are coming here at all I bought tickets before they went on sale!!

Wow, was the Sept. 1st show in St. Louis incredible or what???? Still amazed at how good it was. William Duvall sounded great and he plays good guitar. Up to them whether they change their name or go on as AIC, but the show was unbelievable. Recorded a live DVD that hopefully we'll all get to see soon. The crowd ROCKED!! And both Jerry and Sean signed lots of autographs after the show. Too cool. One of the best shows ever.
