Alice in Chains?

So the former members of grunge outfit Alice in Chains want to play more benefit shows without their backbone, Layne Staley. I don't have anything against them jamming together as a unit, without getting a replacement singer. Doing that is an embarassment to the legacy of any band. In the end, they become nothing more than glorified "cover bands."

Other "cover bands" currently include:

1. INXS - with that lame-ass reality show. There is nothing that tarnishes Michael Hutchense's legacy more.

2. The Doors of the 21st Century - Doors without Jim Morrison? Spare us.

3. Queen - by yanking Paul Rodgers from Bad Company. A singer lacking the range Freddie had.

4. The Allman Brothers - I don't think anyone from the original lineup remains.
