so whos playing??

i heard murder of crows... who else??

Seraphina · 02-08-2002 1:08pm

i know i know!!!

so its not an all-star line-up... but the point is, they're coming together to pay tribute to one of the greatest men in rock in recent years, and there will be plenty of your fav alice in chains songs to go round... so here's the line up so far

the murder of crows(as you know)
myles from blotooth
james guilmartin
minerva
the sundogs
after the party(hopefully-i haven't heard from them in a while)
paradox(i also haven't heard from these guys in a while)

its gonna be a great night, and hopefully we're going to be filming it, to be put together with tapes of the other tributes going on around the world on the same day and added to a documentary being made about Layne's life...

i hope to see you all there!

Kurdt · 02-08-2002 1:11pm

its lookin really good...

and i was all set to be going but then i looked at the date...i'm gonna be in england

Seraphina · 02-08-2002 1:17pm

Sandi · 02-08-2002 1:23pm

I can't f**kin' believe it. I love Murder of Crows and Myles is damn good too. Arse.... Damn this Leeds festival!

BEHOLD! · 02-08-2002 8:00pm

so whats the story with this tribute...
are bands playing all Alice In Chains or are they playing some of their own stuff too or what???
how many people are expected??
Is it gonna be advertised - radio, posters, flyers, tv????

metalish · 02-08-2002 11:04pm

I can't f**king belive that i'm going too miss it it's just not on!!

Alice In Chains are the best grunge band ever (Nirvana being second best) but I will be playing a whole lot of Alice In Chains stuff when i'm on holidays. Alice In Chains website is~www.aliceinchains.com

Why didn't they hold a tribute a week after he died??? and not 4 months after he passed away. His death was accidental

The date for the tribute is Layne's birthday as far as I know.

Seraphina · 03-08-2002 2:05pm

first off, the tribute is being held on the 22nd because it is Layne's birthday... it wasn't a week after he died because these things take organisation.
the bands are playing mostly Alice in Chains, but some have their own song they wrote about Layne so they'll be playing those too.
i dont know how many people are expected... hard to guess really.
advertising... i was on to phantom about help with promotion, pete said he'd help me but he hasn't gotten back to me yet so... i have flyers and all, what you see below is the design. posters are outta my price range unfortunately, and so is tv

ellentic · 03-08-2002 7:09pm

Its not going to be Strictly 18+ is it?

[Alice In Chains - Would]

Neil_B · 06-08-2002 11:56am

After meeting some of the other people playing I'm really looking forward to it. All the people I've meet so far are all sound and wanna make it a great night. And that's what its all about.www.sundogsband.com

Seraphina · 06-08-2002 8:35pm

Seraphina · 08-08-2002 10:13am

Neil_B · 08-08-2002 12:26pm

BEHOLD! · 08-08-2002 6:43pm

Seraphina · 08-08-2002 9:37pm

*sniffles*

Achille · 09-08-2002 5:57pm

STOP CRYING!!!!

Why is it falling to pieces?
you've got your bands, and your venue. just keep plugging away and it'll be fine.

if you like, I'll go and herd unsuspecting passers-by into the place on the night. people are afraid of me.:)

Seraphina · 09-08-2002 6:25pm

thaank you!

but still..... im so worried no ones gonna turn up!!

Achille · 09-08-2002 6:32pm

well, someone texted in a request just 2 minutes ago for Alice In Chains so now might be a good time to give them a ring or text in your little promotion cos they'll play AIC any minute.

Seraphina · 09-08-2002 6:35pm

just did
thankies!

Seraphina · 09-08-2002 6:39pm

but i couldn't get through on the phone...

Achille · 09-08-2002 7:01pm

well the text should do the job.

and if not, you can picket the Phantom studios!:D

Seraphina · 09-08-2002 7:19pm

i'll be out there hail rain or shine until i get some adspace!!!

anyways... hopefully it'll be alright on the night...

*looks suspicious*
you're coming... right Achille?

Achille · 09-08-2002 8:22pm

well...um...eh...y'see....

okay, there could be a problem that I could be busy then, but if its at all possible for me to get there, then I will go!

okay?

Seraphina · 09-08-2002 9:04pm

what could POSSIBLY be more important than this?!?!

(no need to reply with the million things which are actually more important)

Cat · 11-08-2002 12:39pm

it does sound pretty damn cool. alice in chains rock
the 1 downside that the festivals in engaland ( u hav 2 say it with an extra syllable or it's just not funny) and Damien Rice are both on the same night. It sucks. But what can u do? c u all there

BEHOLD! · 11-08-2002 5:59pm

****in Damo is always playing.
nothing changes...

Seraphina · 12-08-2002 10:04am

Seraphina · 13-08-2002 9:40am

:P

BEHOLD! · 13-08-2002 11:36am

my point is...
Damien Rice is always playing gigs in Dublin.
So just go to the Alice in Chains thang...if you miss Rice..you'll see him again next month.

Barbara · 13-08-2002 11:51am

Don't worry Seraphina, I know a few people going (I'm going anyway) should be a good night!:D

Seraphina · 13-08-2002 12:14pm

yay!

Aspro · 13-08-2002 2:24pm

You should give out flyers at the Gigsmart Metal gig in the TBMC this Sunday to bump up the numbers - if you hadn't thought of it already.

Seraphina · 13-08-2002 2:47pm

one problem being that technically i cant get in there....

i'll try me damn best tho!

BEHOLD! · 13-08-2002 5:15pm

im going...
so i will do it!

Seraphina · 13-08-2002 11:15pm

this is serious!

BEHOLD! · 14-08-2002 12:05am

no ****!

Seraphina · 14-08-2002 8:14am

:P

BEHOLD! · 14-08-2002 7:11pm

but seriously...flyers will be handed out.

Aspro · 15-08-2002 10:08am

Seraphina and Behold

If you've any problems give me a shout and I'll give the flyers out. I'll be at the gig, and as a die-hard AIC fan I'd love to see a good tribute being pulled off. Fair play for organising it.

Aspro

Seraphina · 15-08-2002 10:37am

thats the kind of attitude we need!
thankies!

Seraphina · 16-08-2002 9:55pm
