Well, they've got one main singer, plus various guest singers depending where they are. There was no guest singers at the show I was at, but I heard Mark Lanegan was at one of the shows (that I'd kill to have seen). I did see VH1's special on Heart, where they played one song with Phil Anselmo from Pantera, and dedicated the show to "Layne Staley and Dimebag."
The main guy is named William DuVall, from a band called Comes with the Fall. I'd never heard of him before, but like I said, I didn't hate him. He had a vocal range similar to Layne's, and sang all the songs correctly. Of course, he had nothing like the passion/charisma/darkness/beauty of Layne, but he did have an enthusiastic stage presence and good interaction with Jerry.
I mean, obviously he was in no way equal to Layne, but given the circumstances, it could've been a lot worse. (Perhaps my opinion was aided by having seen Phil Anselmo first--I was much relieved to find out he was only a guest singer and that the actual guy was way better.)
