Just read that they are in the studio recording the follow up now. Jerry had some shoulder surgery and some recovery time, said he never expected it to be three years between records. Hopefully that means we'll hear it this year.
I love Jerry and the rest of the guys, but I was honestly a little disappointed to see them carry on with the Alice in Chains namesake. To me, Layne was such an integral part of the band that carrying on without him seems wrong. Plus, "Black Gives Way to Blue" was honestly mastered so loud that it hurt my ears (it was on a "Death Magnetic" level).
That aside, I love Jerry's playing. I regularly blast the Music Bank collection in my car and at home, along with their Unplugged performance and demos. It's also amusing that he's one of the few guitarists out there who prefers Kahler over Floyd Rose.
He plays all the right notes and he seems to me to be a perfectionist in his playing. Everything is deliberate and intentional and really perfect.
His guitar solo's and guitar fills are so good that its literally impossible to come up with anything that could possibly sound better.
