Yeah, Anselmo was who I had heard bandied about the most. And I do like Pantera when I'm in the proper mood (I've found that post-breakup/anger stage is particularly proper). But I just don't see his as being... right for that band.
Mark Lanegan? Would have been AMAZING! Not imitating Layne or anything, but certainly fitting that band well. A different sound, but well-suited, I'd say.
Now I'm wondering if this DuVall guy is the guy I saw playing with Jerry at the show I went to a few years ago. In fact, I think maybe Comes with the Fall was the opening act. They opened for Jerry and then this guy came out and played with Jerry for his set. He looks really familiar. And as I recall, he was really great singing the Layne parts for the Alice in Chains songs Jerry did. So I am well-pleased that he got the gig as the sorta-semi-permanent AIC guy. Go, him!
Still... I would have loved to have seen Maynard from Tool performing with them. I can see that working reeeeeaaally well.
