Who else is getting a bunch of Alice and chains videos in their recommended
As always ❤️
Huzzah!
Suddenly yes
What a slavonic remark. Shoop👊
Me now on here and fb. Especially layne stayley vids like my phone knows I’m on fuckin opiates again😓
Best male vocalist ever..in my opinion. Just distinct. In a league of his own. Too bad he couldn’t beat his demons..such a tremendous loss.
I almost wonder if he had beaten his demons if his music just wouldn't have been the same. That pain he went through was put into music in a way a happy person couldn't do.
@@PikesburghI believe so, if you listen Love hate love you can understand it, it was a love song so it was not about drugs and was written before heroin addiction and he sang that with much passion. He would have sang always like he used to because he was special and put his soul in every song.
Hard to believe that voice has been silent for 18 years - what a loss, what could have been 💔
Been playing him since their inception in my vehicle. Never to not be played. Such a gem in time.
My neighbors still hear his voice weekly dont worry
Layne was the shit!
You prolly dont care but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the new series on Instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my brother for the last few weeks =)
@Cristiano Jax Yup, I've been using instaflixxer for since december myself :D
Even 18 years out, it still hurts SO bad that he isn’t here.
As a recovering heroin addict, I can feel for Layne. That shit will change you and have you never looking back. Im glad I can say I made it through that hell but for the ones that didnt RIP and the ones still struggling I pray for you 🙏 its never to late until its to late.
Layne was a very close friend of my husband's, and now we are watching our only daughter self destruct in the same way. I'll never forget the day he found out Layne died. He was crying copious tears and he said that they had found Layne melted into his chair. I'm so glad you made it out. I pray you stay well, always.
@@gaylechristensen6285 I'm so sorry, I'm going through the same thing right now with addiction and just know, your daughter doesn't want to hurt you. Just show as much love as possible and try and always be there for her. Also, no one can get clean if they're not around so maybe get some narcan and keep a close eye on her. You remind me of my mom. Shes always there for me even when I relapse, she understands. Hopefully it gets better for all of us struggling with addiction.
@@stevenglansberg4448 Thank you, Steven for your kind words. You are a really good person. I pray you get well. You're in the fight of your life with these drugs. You can and will win. All the best to you.♡
@Russell Bufflap Its not dumb. Its addiction. That's pretty much something that happens to every addict. We all trick ourselves into thinking we can just use once even though we know that's not how it works.
@Russell Bufflap I'm trying not to pick up right now at this very moment and its difficult not to when you have money and the means but I just went for a drive and got some stuff done, now I'm going to listen to music and play guitar and hopefully forget about wanting to use right now.
Call me weird but I tear up every now and then listening to them. It was somehow a personal loss for me. Something about music you can really feel!!
I do too!! 😓
Every time i listen to Down in a Hole Unplugged. I just think of Layne wasting away in his condo. Everyone from Cantrell to his mom to Mike Starr coming over begging him to take care of himself. Like he said in Nutshell though:
"If I can't be my own,
I'd feel better dead"
I think that a certain point. Layne resigned himself to the fact that he was never going to beat H and wanted to be left alone so he could ride the wave until it hit the beach, to keep from drowning anyone else.
When we lose a singer from our youth days it's like we mourn our own loss of youth
nothing weird about it Kyle. Thing about Layne is that he wrote from the heart...experiences him and many of us have had and indeed still go through. There is nothing contrived about AIC...Layne lived it and wrote about it and he had something to say, unlike the crap we get these days in many cases. I tear up a lot listening to AIC....I spent 17 years addicted to opiates and I can just hear what he was going through...that pain just resonates with a lot of people. So cry away my friend....I'll join ya.
@@allennelson3881
I feel the same way when I hear that song...
It's so sad just thinking how Layne ended up living in such isolation doing speedball after speedball til it finially got the better of him...
Rest in Peace Layne ❤
No matter how he chose to live, or die, he will be respected and held in high regard of the gift he gave to us. There is no one like him- GOAT.
Layne faded away before he burnt out for good. How fitting. Still I play AIC songs every day, in some small attempt to keep his memory alive.
July 3rd my birthday
I play AIC everyday too.. Have for years. Still not ready to say goodbye to Layne.
It is better to fade away than to burn out. RiP, my friend.♡
@@gaylechristensen6285 I thought it was it’s better to burn out then to fade away?/ grunge era was so poetically tragic😞
@@katrinamenzies9398 You're probably right. My husband was friends with Layne and worked with him when he was in the band Sleeze, and then the early Alice-n-Chains before it became Alice-in-Chains. I did not realize how close they were, until just a few years ago. He finally started talking about the pain of losing his friend. He walked away before Layne started using Heroin, thankfully. It's hard to watch a friend do that to themselves.
I still cry when I hear Wake up,his voice, miss THAT voice,I thank Layne for keeping me clean....drugs destroy our souls♡♡♡ love Layne♡
That's the song that got me clean. I heard that and broke down.
What gave you the desire to quit, if you don't mind my asking? I'm on Suboxone, but I can't seem to completely quit C. I've gone 13 days, but then cracked (no pun intended). Sorry for over sharing, I just wanted to give u an idea of what's going on...
Agreed, I was on heroin for a while and Layne is a huge reason I’m in recovery. Thank you Layne for the inspiration
Zachary and mom's Vlogs and vids SEASON 5!!! I’m also on subs. I’m always gonna need an opioid as I always suffering with physical pain and ibs badly since childhood. It was That or death and I knew there’s a reason im still alive so I chose suboxone as it’s helped with both cravings and the chronic pain I deal with
Im on methadone, been 11 years. Cant seem to kick either...
When he passed I wept. I don't know why.I never knew him or met him I just wept.I still feel sadness and pry that he is at peace. The greatest singer in the last 50 years. God bless you Layne. Their music helped me through some very tough times. God bless to you all
What do you mean... you don't know why??? He died.
The part of this story that seems to be forgotten was he was hospitalized because he almost lost his arm due to an infection, I assume abscess from IV use. I remember the story and he had a female doctor from India as his Doctor at the hospital in KC that was in charge of his care. For some reason this part of the story was scrubbed from the internet but it was a well known thing years ago and that's where the rumors of missing fingers and other appendages came from.
I was there, 9 years old with Paul Stanley makeup on, little did I know I was watching my now favorite vocalist of all times last live show....
RIP Layne, you’ll never know how loved you were, you were the best..
Nathan Moon: Wow....this is truly one of the best comments I've read. Jealous but extremely happy for you....that is so awesome.
Layne sang his heart out, he just wasn't feeling good and was unable to keep his strength up...
Still so sad...
Layne should have never attempted doing that tour.... We lost the GREATEST singer of the 90's
RIP Sweet Layne...
Yeah, but that's why life as a rock musician is the most dangerous professional there is. While I wasn't at their last show like you were, they really had some tour gaps between '92 and '96. They needed to get back on the road, likely to stay relevant and for financial reasons as well. Musicians make their money on tour, not in the recording studio. I saw them at a tiny, dirty smoky club called the Silver Dollar Saloon in Lansing, Michigan back in the summer of '91. Still one of the best gigs I have ever witnessed. Who knows how much phenomenal music AIC left on the table.
I don't know about greatest. I love AIC but Sound Garden was great to. We lost two great vocalist of the 90s.
Layne did have the best voice of the 90's. He obviously trained intensely to have the power, the presence, the ear, the range, and the smooth to raspy voice switch.
Chris Cornell was the voice of a generation. He remained at the top of his game his entire career. He was also a dynamic powerful rangy singer. The two were very close vocally. I love them both, throw in Eddie Vedder and the sky is the limit.
Eddie is the only remaining front man from the 4 big bands from Seattle. It's sad.
David Garrison the debate continues; imo, Staley was the best of the Grunge era. I also know that most would side with Cornell, who was also lights out vocalist. I think AIC represented the Grunge era the best. They were definitely the darkest and never strayed from that. That may be why I side with Staley.
Staley was the best singer of the big 4 to come out of Seattle.
No, thats Chris spot.
2-Layne
3-Everyone Else
@@grungil7570 thats apples and oranges. Chris cant sing like layne and vice versa
Big AIC fan, but him and Chris are head to head. Both very talented.
@NuBz Got that right.
That's the right answer.
There all special in there own way. Im personally a Kurt fan, but I love Layne, Chris, and Eddie. Gotta give Weiland a shoutout
It makes me feel physically sick thinking about how Layne went out. It’s so heartbreaking. Everyone saw it from a mile away, and could do nothing. That’s terrible watching someone you love slowly destroy themselves. I understand how my family and friends felt during my addiction
Ashley Bennet indeed; he became a destitute shut in, disappeared for years and died completely alone, as if the world forgot about him. We just couldn’t find him.
Sad for people battling addiction,if you know someone with this problem,always stay in touch,let them know you care about them and always,no matter how hard,stay positive for and with them
Im fighting addiction....its hard...its our Demons inside....but im not even clean or start. Getting clean.....
@@luisresendes2431 1 dia de cada vez
@@luisresendes2431 I don't know you and I'm aware there's nothing I can do for you but I really hope that you'll find the strength to get the help you need to help yourself❤
If you followed the scene back then his death was no surprise. It was like we were all waiting for it to happen. He was so influential and is greatly missed. It even worse when everyone knew it was coming and no one could stop it. Tragic.
Drugs, alcohol, kill but sadness and hopelessness are murders of blue skys
Even his talking voice was awesome
Layne never wanted anyone to follow in his footsteps with addiction. He hated addiction, but addiction is addiction and it tragically caught up to him. God Bless Jerry and the guys in AIC for always honoring Layne's wishes for privacy and not exploiting him or suing him or breaking up over him. It shows how much the guys respected Layne and his need for privacy. It's just sad it ended the way it did but tragic as it was... I get the feeling there was some peace and closure there.... I just feel that way and don't know why.
I was there just to see AIC. I knew something was up with Layne. I didn’t realize that it would be his last gig until later.
Something was up with lane the whole time the band was big lol he was very hit or miss when playing live. He could be amazing and moving around or standing like a statue looking gaunt. Still sounded great either way
Remember the drummer getting pissed?
TheDonofthsht76 - very hit & miss? Can you show me proof of an off night for Layne? Every concert I’ve seen of AiC Layne’s vocals were consistently better then even what they were in the studio. He’s the complete OPPOSITE of “hit & miss”. The only time I’ve seen him being a miss was when his voice was blew out and ‘96 when he was a zombie.
Johnny Appleseed did you read what he wrote? He said they sounded great....he never said off night as in sounding bad. He said sometimes he was motionless. Every band that tours all year round for years will have off nights. Just because you haven’t seen them doesn’t mean it never happened also.
GurnakeDaSnakeMon yes, plus with Layne’s heroin and crack use only worsening through time, on top of touring, it took a huge toll on his body. I say use because addiction is more than the drug use, or gambling, or sex, etc. it’s filling a void, a problem that makes the drug abuse the tip of the iceberg. The rest of the iceberg down bellow, that’s the void to cover up, the mental and physical health. Drug use and abuse is a small symptom of a much bigger issue. Layne was a goofball, fun to be around, his wit or sense of humor was always there. But his appearance was fading by 1994, and he started losing his teeth, lack of hygiene.. Layne’s vocals were always phenomenal. He wanted out of the band but when your contractually bound to such a thing, it’s not so simple to just leave. You got insurance, cancelling shows as a result, which can go down as a lawsuit, entertainment lawyers, managers, record labels executives, a contract that you are legally bound to. He wanted to be in long term rehab. Heroin and Crack (speedball) got to the best of him. It’s got to me too. But Layne was still really professional and the fact he wouldn’t make excuses if his neck wasn’t broken he would perform. He didn’t start getting high or drunk onstage until around late 1993. But he still had one helluva voice even when he would get fucked up before performing or using enough to get by while performing
Surely Kiss was the warm up band to AIC. RIP Layne 😞
Rich Moore believe it it was the other way around and after one song, the headliner knew they needed a new opener, as clearly outplayed Kiss.
@@mattsiel249 my nephew's middle school band could outplay Kiss.
God I miss him. Changed my life forever!
Funny u say that my dude ... I was literally 18 just got a decent stereo in my car and that album came out ... Facelift ... Unfuknreal ... I honestly just drove around aimlessly ust to listen to it over and over ... Sunshine ..and love hate love were like somehow handed down and written by GOD himself i was so fukn hooked man ... I literally wanted to be him n wished i was and had been him n born with that beautiful amazing voice ... He was like over night my HERO ... I was in bands and played guitar and theres just one Layne ... His voice was EPIC ...nobody and noone will ever be that good ever it was a fluke man ... Yeah theres greats out there but fuk ...nothing will ever compair to that voice ...u can still listen till this day which i still do on a daily ... And it still kicks ass like first time ya heard it ... Period ... The day he died i was in prison ... BAYSIDE /LEESBURGE STATE PRISON IN NEW JERSEY ... My buddy who had become a bro inside was just as finaticle as i was about ALICE IN CHAINS n Layne ... I remember like yesterday he came running up after getting off the phone and was like dude ....fukin LAYNE STALEY DIED ... whoah WTF DID HE JUST SAY .. I ACTUALLY THOUGHT IT MAY BE A JOKE TILL THE LOOK ON HIS FACE SAID EVERYTHING I KNEW NOT TO EVEN CONSIDER IT A JOKE ... I was seriously heartbroken .. He was everything a singer would pride n hope to be ... Good looking .. EPIC Voice ... Megastar achivement and a junky taboot and everyone still loved him ... That to me was insane ... I once watched a video of him saying yeah im a junky i cant stop ..i love it too much ... And if thats the reason why you wont listen to my music then just dont listen to it ... Cause im a junky and if you let that defy me and wont listen to my music so be it ... Im gunna do dope and write music if someone doesnt listen anymore cause of it then oh well ....shit man i mean that was honest ... And so many people respected that ...the truth more rather then hide it like everything was fine ... So i believe in the end he went out just how he wanted to go out ...a Epic legend and rich as fuck and to have all that fourtune and fame and be a junky n never having to want for anything ever again ....ide say he did just fine and went out like he wanted too ... And why not ... What so wrong about that .. Till this day ...there are people who still listen to him and are wowed and moved by his voice and music and talent and ability to have n be born with such a beautiful voice ... So with that my friend im so sorry for the book i just wrote as a comment to what you wrote ... In finish i so agree with what you said and know the feeling inside ya had for such an awesome dude who i wont say died before his time i would say he left behind something so beautiful that only a handful were ever able to fullfill in life and him my friend is the TOP SHELF/ NUMERO UNO/ CHIEFE IN OFFICE ... PLAIN OL BEST THAT EVER DID IT ... PERIOD ... HE SIMPLY WAS THE BEST OF THE BEST AND LEFT BEHIND A BEAUTIFUL LEGACY THAT NOONE CAN OR WILL BE ABLE TO EVER DO AGAIN IN OUR LIFETIME ... NOR THE FUTURE CAUSE MUSIC HAS TAKEN A SHIT .. YA HAVE ALL THE WHITE KIDS RAPPING AND WANNA BE WISHING THEY WERE BLACK AND LOST ALL SENSE OF WHO THEY EVEN STAND FOR OR WERE THEY CAME FROM ...SO SAD THAT ROCK N ROLL HAS DIED ... THE DAY LAYNE STALEY DIED ... I HOPE U CAN AGREE WITH ME ON THIS IF YA ACTUALLY DO READ THIS BOOK ... LIGHT AND LOVE MY FRIEND ...
Layne had a tone that was his and only his,he didnt sound like anyone else,jerry has an amazing voice and hes a killer guitarist as well,love Jerry's tone and guitars
Jerry's voice is decent at best tbh.
I remember this show. I was there (still have the ticket). What I remember from this show is that Layne hardly moved at all. The music didn't suffer as a result, but it seemed to me like he would've fallen over if the mike stand wasn't there.
Were you there for KISS and didn't care about the headliner at the time?
the power of addiction and depression are so powerful its very sad rip layne
I'll be 50 July 1st. I remember when I first heard them in 1992 . Was totally blown away. To this day I have never heard a band even close to them. Man in the box changed me forever. Then losing Chris Cornel f@@ked me up bad.
These bands will always remind me of my youth.
Yep...I actually was right in middle of it all. Went High school fr 1991-95
I was 50also July 1st happy 50th air brother
Dude, you sound like me! That's exactly what I experienced, I'm 47 👍
I just have to give Layne all the respect in the world. The fact that he was there, and that you could see how frail he was (his legs could barely hold him up). Yet he laid it down!!! RIP king 💕🤴🏼
My most favorite voice to ever come from a human. I miss him and what he did. 💔
Ya, near the end of his live performance period, it looked like the mic stand was the only thing keeping him vertical. His voice always remained powerful though.
It seem like Layne spiraled down when his ex Demri who was perhaps the love of his life died in 1996. Layne and Demri RIP
Literally had tear in my eye. Very few people come in your life and leave your heart in a place where nothing or know one can reach Layne had that ability.
He was awesome when he was with Mad Season as well
Mad Season was amazing, every song and the actual footage of the concert blew me away!
He's sooo missed... Layne and Jerry's writing saved my life. I named my son after Corey Taylot and Layne Staley... My boy's name is Corey Layne... I picked it yrs b4 I knew I'd have a son... RIP Layne...thank you for all your music... We love you.
Weird my daughter also named after Layne, Ellayna.
My son's name is Jerry Layne. Named after his great grandpa Jerry and Jerry Garcia and Layne. We didn't realize it until later we also named him after Cantrell.
That last live show of the original lineup was surprisingly spot on for everyone in the band. As an outsider watching that performance i think it took every strand of energy and willpower for layne to not lose grip of the microphone stand as it was keeping him upright but vocally he nailed it on all the songs. It's sad watching the aftermath of life long harcore drug use rot somebody from the inside out. Everyone had subconsciously known what the end was going to be because at that point the writing was on the wall. RIP Layne. It's probably for the best that you're somewhere else soaring with the angels because there ain't nothing good happening down here.
You got that right!
Well. . . They didn't have Michael Starr. . . They had Michael Inez. A great bass player in his own right, but not the "original lineup" per se. Inez may be a better bass player, but not original to Chains. I think we all miss them. Inez played with Ozzy Osbourne most notably, but Inez played with many bands as a fill in over the years. Now Starr and Staley are dead, from heroin ultimately. Not even Dr. Drew could save Starr on a celeb rehab show. Lol. Who could see that coming? :-)
@@Jdngls Mike died from a Xanax overdose. I've come off both benzos and opiates, and trust me, benzos are far, far worse. Layne ironically had a fight with Mike about his benzo use, the day before he died from heroin.
@@gaylechristensen6285 Not to say that Mike Starr didn't die from some heavy stuff. Benzos are no joke. Kudos to you for being here still, Gayle. It was more of a comment that Inez wasn't part of the original lineup, and that now post Layne Staley, everything before his death is the original lineup. William Duvall is a pretty badass singer in his own right, but definitely not Layne. None of us can call him the original, or Mike Inez.. . Although Inez was there before Staley's death. May they (Staley and Starr) rest in peace, and hopefully AIC can come out more music in the future that does those boys justice, and keeps the living members doing what they love. :-)
@@Jdngls Absolutely. The original lineup had some serious chemistry both on and off stage. The Music Bank in Seattle pumped out some amazing singers. I just realized the other day, that is the common denominator for all of the greats, Chris Cornell, Kurt Cobain Layne, Mike Andy Wood. I lived near there, and I'm telling you, it was a crazy place. It burned down a few years ago, but I'm amazed one of those guys didn't torch it back then. P.S. sorry I made your post all about drugs. It was a very insightful, thoughtful comment.♡
Saw the twice,once on the Clash of the Titans tour and when they opened for Kiss a few nights before the last show in Lexington Ky.You could tell he was off but damn they sounded GREAT!!On his worst day Layne was still one of the greatest and still is....R.I.P.
I love the heartfelt conclusion you added at the end there man, exquisitely done tribute to a reversely powered hero and the band Alice In Chains, thank you!
Very seldomly is it spoken how well Jerry Cantrell’s voice mimicked and duetted with Layne’s we couldn’t have had 1 without the other
Sad RIP Layne.
I didnt know about Layne being asked to perform with Jerry in 1998. Hurts my heart
Ty so much for this video! Alice became my biggest inspiration long ago, I loved Layne’s voice and talent but just as important was the type of person he was. He was a kind, gentle caring guy who unfortunately got mixed up in drugs-as many people from all walks of life do, It was a life taken way too soon. His music will always live on. I’m so glad Jerry Cantrell is still here, he’s another great talent and like his late friend, Layne, he’s a great person. I’m grateful he got himself sober long ago. I wish Layne could have but it doesn’t change how I feel about him. We’re lucky we had him period! RIP Layne😇Also RIP Mike Starr😇
Love Alice In Chains. Super good looking band! Jerry and Layne are great together!!! Love them!!! A great loss indeed:(
I really have to thank you for keeping my generation alive, Gen-X was the greatest generation of all time fuck I miss them days.
Jerry never changed. Still now rocking🖤
Nice video! Thanks!
Layne is the 🐐
I thought LL Cool J was. He even had an album called GOAT
Alice in Chains is on heavy rotation in my recommended list
I love finding new docs about Layne.
May he rest in peace🌹
Happy Heavenly birthday Layne
Favorite singer of all time. Great video. Thank you for sharing. 😄
Best group of the big 4 hands down.
a lot of people think that laynes last concert was the kiss one but it was actually one with second coming
A bands last gig don't mean a thing. It's just another gig. Truth is, Chains will ALWAYS be remembered as an amazing band and theyre are thousands of youtube videos to prove it.
I think Laynes band mates could of done more to keep him alive and I’m sure they wished they would of. I named my youngest son who was born in 2006 after the late great Layne Staley out of my admiration of his one of a kind voice and stunning work in Alice In Chains and Mad Season.
Saw chains in Detroit fore the jar of flies tour. When the show started layne was hanging on a net suspended about 49 feet up in the air. The guy was totally on fire they rocked
Same tour I seen in Chicago Epic best live performance I ever seen by far.
not 50?
im crying so hard, rest in peace layne 🖤
Layne staley is the G.O.A.T🤘
This is 2020 and I still cry. I love Layne
You have a cool voice and story-telling style, Dude
Love ur videos
Love Layne and no one can replace him. I just can’t get into the new singer...
Why do you hate William Duvall? He is doing as good a job as can be expected.
Layne Staley is utterly irreplaceable and it's such a joke that they tried. The songs with the new singer are hollow and have no magic. There is no AIC without Layne. I went to one concert with the new singer years ago and I felt sick the whole time....Layne no longer there and them trying to carry on with a new singer? What the hell were they thinking?? Start a different band, Jerry! Don't dare try to carry on Alice without Layne...it was never legitimate without him and never will be...
@@aquamarine0023 Its their band, it was their friend who died. They can do whatever they want. They put everything into their band and didnt want to start a new one. Anyone who can be mad at them for that doesnt see them as real people.
I hate the new shit popping up in searches.

Good video and information brother!👍
I too struggled w heroin and had friends die they all die if you dont clean up you will slowly die
“Jails..Institutions..death”.. not to get all “NA” on ya, but it’s true
It’s amazing he could nod off but pick it back up, it was still in his head
6 years with out playing from 1996 to 2002 its almost the 6 years he played with AIC since they started , god i just realized how long this was for him and he´s band mates LAYNE YOU ARE IN MY HEART TILL THE END
Thanks for sharing
I was lucky enough to see them with Layne at Lalapalooza. He was incredible to see 😢
I really like your vid Dudeman. I’m an encyclopedia of useless rock history knowledge. Several other youtubers that do vids like yourself often have false information which drives me insane. I can’t say I ever watched one of your vids and saw any misleading info. Anyway you’re doing a great job and I appreciate your hard work. Keep it up!!!
love the picture of the bass player with a TOOL t-shirt, both great bass players
but on a side more important note:
hope Layne is making music in a sacred place were awesome souls such Cornell and Cobain will forever feel Alive through mother music
Rock on
RIP Layne!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
'A Little Bitter' originally appeared on the Last Action Hero soundtrack, which is one of the greatest rock soundtracks ever, containing 2 AIC songs, Megadeth's Angry Angry Again, Anthrax, etc.
Very classy there Dudeman... classy, Lane the guru of grudge RIP my prince..
What a loss 💔
Rosie Brind'amour massive 😔
Holy shit ...new sub here ...that my friend was an EPIC video ....wow great work ....im hooked and now i will ninge watch ...light and love
I was in second grade when they played that show. I remember looking up at the board and seeing ‘1996’ and thought, “Man, this year is taking forever”
I feel I was impatient. Same ole trip it was back then
Epic quality is rare.. don't you ever rest in peace. Rocking heaven forever.
Layne was overtaken by a terrible addiction .it is sad no one could save him. He was the best
"Cool vid. One minor correction I would like to offer is that A Little Bitter" is originally featured on the Last Action Hero Soundtrack in 1993 along with "What the Hell Have I?"
I don't think AIC would be where they are today without Layne. He was really a good singer. RIP Layne Staley.
Mad season great album to...
Layne was a lost soul. I wish the events could have been changed that led to his death, but that's how life is, sadly.
Business Cat even their classic UnPlugged performance in ‘96 he looked so frail; like the slightest wind would’ve blow him away. RIP L.S.
More of an old soul.....but had a youthful approach to life. This reminds me when Mark Lanegan said that Layne was very intelligent and 'Magical'.
I was at that show on Halloween in Seattle in '98. Crazy to learn that Layne was there and could have come out to perform. I had no idea.
Man I have always wondered what it’s like to be able to have memories of being a teenager or young adult in the 90s.
Like to be able to remember a Jerry Cantrell show, In 1998, I just think that that’s so cool. I’m a few months from 27, born In 1995. I know how crazy it feels to think back to being 15 or 16 years old doing crazy shit, and that’s 2010-2011.
✝️🇺🇸👍 may he rest in peace grew up on Alice in Chains I remember getting their first tape lol i didn't have CD player back then
I have a signed cassette of their 1st demo tape, locked in a safe deposit box...
Loved this band 😪
Greatly Missed but Never Forgotten.
R.I.P. Brother 🤟
Amazing he lived 6years after that
It's just so sad Layne was a legend forever missed
Those were awesome videos of Alice in Chains, I love them, I love Layne Staley and his fantastic voice one of a kind. I love Jerry and Sean and Mike Star sooo very awesome!! R.I.P. LAYNE AND MIKE STAR!! 😇 Miss them dearly 😔 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I WAS THERE FOR THE LAST SHOW
LAYNE KICKED ASS
THEY WERE OUTSTANDING!!!
Thank you so much for not bringing up his usage.💗💗💗💗💗
Me too it’s an algorithm Dirt I think is 25 year anniversary and I was a huge fan clicked and found more watching and I’m loving learning more about Layne. I know they tried to go on when he passed away and it was good music but no one can match Jerry’s harmonies with Layne ❤
As always love your videos!!! The more I study these famous and so talented young artist it just breaks my heart to see them self destruct and die so young! This may sound selfish but I almost feel cheated because I would've loved to see where their music would've gone!
I wonder the same thing.
Lane Staley lives on every time you play one of his songs!
I was there. It was for sure a Kiss crowd. People were very hungry for original KISS. There was booing and chants of we want KISS while Alive played. The drummer got pissed. And even got on the mic and sang Beth and threw his drumsticks and said fuck you
Bryan,
The only genuine Comments here.
A KISS fan at the time, who also loved Alice in Chains and was devastated by Layne's performance.
Alice in Chains (AIC) began well but by song number 3 EVERONE watching knew there was something really wrong.
Yeah the over 40's KISS crowd then booed and heckled AIC.
The problem was Layne couldn't barely stand by the 5th song.
T his guy said that he felt so bad for the other three band members. The 2 guitarists were jumping up and down and unfortunately,
for 1996,
resorted to way too many stereotype grunge movements from 1992 that came across as dated, desperate and lame.
Brightest flames burn quickest. RIP all the great ones from the 90s.
Nothing and No One like Layne.
Crazy...seen Soundgarden(91,13), Nirvana(93), AIC(96), Pearl Jam(92, 98, 00, 03, 10) & STP(94, 00, 03, 04, 10) live in Kansas City.
Eddie Vedder only lead singer left......
