Its a miracle that Lanegan made it to 57, all things considered.
I think he was 54? Still you're absolutely right.
@@breefitzgerald2037 he was 57❤
That’s my age and all the things that happened over all the years still amazes me I too am alive. I grew up with The Doors, Jimi, Skynyrd, Zeppelin and when I got out of the Army in 89 and started hearing the Seattle music it fell right in line with my heart. But now all these years later I love the era I grew up in all the more.
I'm 56, not a rock star,just a regular guy with bad habbits. I am happy i went over 50. I think i have to change my life, not to live 100 years, but to be in peace for what's left
At least he showered.
Mark, Layne, Chris, Andy, Scott, Kurt, Mike, and the many others that have passed (which are too many to list).... these guys were like Dark Angels roaming the planet. This time period of music in my life was my Camelot so to speak. As a 56 year old man.... the Seattle Music Scene defined my generation, their music meant the world to so many, including myself. Why? Because we could identify with it. Music isn't all about fun and happiness, clearly there was another side to it with these bands.... and those who could identify with it.. sadness, depression, despair, addiction and dependency. Yet, through it all, these guys supported one anothers careers, encouraged one another, and helped one another. Unfortunately for most, they couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel.... yet, unknowingly, through their music and personal struggles, they helped so many others, including myself.... and still do to this day. With each and every one of these artists that have passed over the years, for whatever reasons, I feel as though I have lost a family member or close friend. When the night feels like another sunrise will never come, I ALWAYS have my fallen brothers music to see me through to another sunrise, and because of that, I will FOREVER be grateful. I only wish I could've done the same for so many of them when they were lost in their own minds. I will continue to carry the Seattle Music Scene Torch until my dying days..... and I will let it shine brightly, because it's the very least I can do to pay respects to those who saved my life numerous times. These Dark Angels I refer too...... especially Layne and Chris.... put the good word in for me at the gates, and save me a seat at the big table between the two of you..... YOU ALL ARE GREATLY MISSED BY MANY..... but especially by this 56 year old man.
It's beautiful! Thank You for Your words,I had to cry when read it.Just carrying the Seattle Music Scene Torch with Your existence more long long years!
i was also thinking that it was a good comment and i could identify with it specially when he said that music is not all about fun and happiness
since i know what is to use your music to express your deepest inner sadness and many other somber emotions
Beautifully said
Well done, Captain.
We were so lucky to experience this period in music first hand. It was great, and as the years go on, it just becomes more and more nostalgic and classic. While driving and listening to some of my favorite songs from this era, I often find myself frustrated and almost angry that so many are gone. I always wonder what Kurt would have went on to do music-wise. Would he have put out more stuff like the Unplugged album? I'm glad we got to experience Mark's contributions to QotSA, one of my favorite "newer" bands.
"Sing Backwards and Weep' by Mark Lanegan is a very easy read. What a ride.
There should be a movie made about this mans life. Lanegan's memoir "sing backwards and weep" would be a great book to base it on.
Can't find anywhere to buy the damn thing
@@RUBBERTANK_3i recommend the audiobook on audible as its read by lanegan himself and his voice kicks ass
Further out of the onset of covid and growing knowledge, we now understand there was a cause of death…
It says there was no cause of death and he was sober.
His death was clearly due to complications from the effects of covid 19 on his body at 57 years old, smoking 4 packs of cigarettes a day, drinking and drug abuse.
Thank you all for watching live with me. hope you enjoyed
Thank you for putting this together. Kinda opened up the wounds from February, but so far it's the best, and only really, long form doc on Lanegan I've ever seen online.
Why did u take the remasted doc bout layne down
Because it was shit. even shitter then the one up right now. I’m doing a full remake of it starting soon that will be infinitely better then the original
I like the og
@@TheBaybgirl12725 I like the music, the story etc. but the editing and the way I did it was just awful
I spent time with Lanegan on the DUST tour. Salt was the band I was supporting at the time as a stage hand. He was friendly despite his demons. He was & is an angel,
I heard about his passing while sitting in my car during my lunch break at work. Tears just rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably. I hadn’t cried in more than 15-20 years and quickly realized it was time to get back to work. I looked in my review mirror and said to myself “get it together man,you have to pull yourself together right now” I think about that 5-10 minutes often. I didn’t personally know mark. But I have spent my whole life in western Washington and the screaming trees were a big part of my teenage years. His voice gave comfort to many of us. He will be there when we need him through his music and books. But he well be missed. Damn.
Lol
I didn't know him either, saw him play live twice, had the same emotional reaction you did. His music really reaches deep.
Thank you for sharing that
I heard about it about 45 minutes before my lunch. Same. Went to my car. Blasted some mad season and bawled.
Sounds a lot like Jim Morrison. Robbie Krieger also had a black in the vid "Touch Me", which I think was probably inflicted by Morrison. 8:55.
Layne and marks voices together make me cry. So much emotion.
They are my favorite vocalist. It makes me so happy knowing that I'm not the only one that find their music therapeutic and appreciated. 🤘✌️
Above is my favorite album of all time.
Sounds a lot like Jim Morrison. Robbie Krieger also had a black in the vid "Touch Me", which I think was probably inflicted by Morrison. 8:55.
You actually cry tears? Lol
@@syndiccalls9965 Tough guys, like you, don't understand humanity. You are way too preoccupied with how people perceive you.
My father named both my sister and I after Mark Lanegan and Isobel Campbell. I never knew why until a few years ago. I've been hooked ever since. Hearing about his death this year broke me. His life was incredible. Too soon for a man like him. Rest In Peace.
These guys weren’t usually the type to judge others and when one was down and out the other stuck around and tried to help. I know many people who do not have any problems with addiction that won’t lift a finger to help someone, never mind an addict. I am not trying to be negative, but these guys were usually there to try to help each other, until the person they are trying to help doesn’t want it anymore. Sometimes even though you know where you’re headed it is easier to just let go, but yet you fight, and you fight it all alone.
The drugs especially iv opioids, bring out the worst sometimes, but even battling those demons, they tried to stick together and help each other in times of need.
It is sad to lose such a great era of singers (and band mates). Layne, Mike, Mark, Chris, Kurt, and many more and they were all human beings like all of us, yet we’re so very talented and gifted ones. They say the truly artistic are the most susceptible to destruction. What is really tragic is to finally gain sobriety after so many years of cheating death and have a wife and a home and catch CV19. My heart goes out to Mark’s family and there really isn’t anyone left to lose. Eddie Vedder did his thing, and gives back to humanity which is nice. But the true Grunge era is gone. Tragic, and depressing.
Thank you for this great short documentary of his life.
The song “Nutshell” at the end, its words, are exactly where most of their lives roamed to.
Ironically sad.
You did him justice with this one.
I just finished the audiobook version of his biography "Sing Backwards & Weep", which I highly recommend. He lead the most interesting life & it's REALLY something to hear all of his mind blowing stories told by the man himself in his inimitable, iconic voice...
It’s an awesome book. After listening too it, I went out and bought the book.
Was the argument with his mom in the book? Just intrigued by why it was such a bad argument.
@@ghostface3655 It was, apparently a lot of his personal issues came from being abused by his mother growing up, decided to come visit her/his family for the holidays for the 1st times in years after a period of commerical success & sobriety, but by the time he got there was in relapse mode flying into Seattle & back every other day to score, the fight happened when his mom called him out on using while driving him to the airport for 1 of those trips... Is the short version
@Bill Epperson OK, thanks so much for the reply. It was interesting to me to hear the dynamic between him and his mom/dad. Thanks so much, preciate ya, sir! 🙏
@@ghostface3655 NP, appreciate the interest, am happy to answer any other questions you might have...
I've been waiting on a documentary on Mark Lanegan for a very long time now. Thanks for doing this! His memoir "Sing Backwards and Weep" is easily one of the best Rock memoirs out there. I highly recommend getting the Audible book version to hear Mark's own voice narrate the book. I've relistened to it over 15 times in it's entirety and I'll relisten to it many more times throughout my life. It's just an incredible book.
🤟🏻
1st audiobook I ever listened to. Got it saved & have listened to it 3 times now as a good reality check for gratitude.
U and me both brother I think mark should have got more credit for pushing the movement forward with the other big four my opinion it's the big five Kurt, c Cornell, Layne, Mark, and vedder screaming trees were very important to the scene and will not be forgotten
@@barbaraa.taylor9488 For sure. I'm not big into Pearl Jam and Vedders vocals but I understand their importance for that music scene. I'm not even a big Screaming Trees fan but I love Mark's vocals and his solo work is incredible. It's too bad that Kurt Cobain and Mark couldn't get that "Aborted Blues" (a Ledbelly/Blues cover album) or even anymore original music done together. That would've been pretty special I imagine.
They have an import CD of Kurt and Mark doing the Leadbelly stuff been trying to get it for a long time but it does exist I heard a song or two on my Nirvana box set with the lights out it's awesome brother pick it up peace
27:01 truer words have never been spoken. I see myself in that same way.
If someone were to ever ask me what happened in my life that made me so sad, I wouldn’t know where to begin
RIP MARK LANEGAN
I'm an immense Lanegan fan, have been since I was a teen. The unremitting darkness of his story, and how it colored his music, is part of the allure of it -- but there's something about his voice and his lyrics that were always contemplative, yearning, and assuring. Like a tiny point of light on the black horizon, something to walk toward until you find your way. Losing him this year was extremely rough. I'm taking solace in "Churchbells, Ghosts", "Pill Hill Serenade", and "Sworn and Broken" to get me through some things right now. The world needed Mark. It's a shame that, for so long, he couldn't tell.
🖤💔
Mark was a good dude I spoke to him before he passed so sorry and unexpected what a loss.
that’s cool man.
I was damn sad when Mark died...I keep my signed copy of Devil in a coma on a very special place...close to my heart...
@@kristijanslovenec70 How is "Devil in a Coma"? Is it better than "Sing Backwards and Weep"? I assume you've read/listened to it by now? If not get the Audible book version. It's otherworldly.
@@joshuayettou9032 It's really great,but completely different than Sing backwords and weep...it's written in vignettes of prose and poetry
Yeah sure we all did, you should have came to the picnic we had 😂
I see a good amount of mark in myself which makes me smile. The fact that he’s okay being alone, a lot of ppl know him but they float in an out, struggles to find the right love, he barely makes his ends meet, and struggles on and off again with his inner demons, yet really just wants to make music. Kinda just went w the flow of life, and that’s pretty cool
A brilliant, irreplaceable artist. I discovered Mark's music later on but I'm caught up now. He's replaced all others in terms of whose music I go to most frequently. RIP, my friend.
Same, and now he's such a frequent go to it's absurd 😆, as I've always had a voracious appetite for new, or at least frequently varied, but now hardly go long before there's something with lanegan spinning in my ear
These kind of videos hit hard. I was a drug addicted musician. Can’t believe I got to that point. 7 years clean now with a wife and kid and business owner. I’m so grateful
Ya whatever busy great
That is a blessing, to have gotten through that time in your life. Thanks for telling and being honest. I have a zillion times more respect for you than I have for the, more than likely worthless negative commenter. If fact, just his half sentence, (it's hard to tell if it's a sentence or not since they don't use any grammar), tells me everything I need to know about his unaccomplished life. These generations, the last 20 years have no clue. If they would have applied themselves and learned guitar, wrote music and sang, maybe the music wouldn't have died out in the last two decades. But you have to have talent and dedication. I respect anyone who plays guitar. My dream is to play, but I haven't dedicated myself. It's not an easy instrument to learn and be good at.
Same man minus the wife kids and business just coming on a year clean. After bout 10 years shooting junk. Congrats for your achievements!
@@justinsixx90Please keep going brother. I know this is a month on, but I hope it finds you free of chemicals.
Congrats my man! Unless you've been there you'll never know. Here's lookin at you billdisharmony
i’ve read sing backwards and weep 3 times and it’s one of my favorite books of all time from one of my favorite musicians. so happy to you see you made this. hell yeah.
Same! Definitely blows Dave Grohl's book out of the water.
Same ...62 here and read the book so many times and listen on audible ...I loved him from the trees...and can't explain my deep love for him and his music ..got to see him live once with Duke ...It was my best night ever ...thank you And good night ...The night porter you are missed 🖤💔
Such a magical and tragic era, and scene. All these beautiful and creative artists giving so much. I’m 55 and loved Screaming Trees. I saw them in Deep Elul at Trees ironically. What a talent. RIP Mark.
Man how ironic to see Layne singing I nearly lost you while Mark was in the hospital.
Holy shit. 😮
RIP Mark! What’s weird is that all of them were unique in their own style. Layne, Mark, Kurt, Chris etc..
Enjoyed this. Having had my own struggle with pointed instruments and the side effects of it all. Long live us all.
Hope you’re doing ok David. I used to have the same problem with pointed instruments. Unfortunately after losing the love of my life and everything and everyone else I loved I changed to chasing the fake dragon. Better luck to you.
Its wild how he was in the middle of all those bands and musicians. I knew him and Kurt were close but not with all the others. His life story is pretty wild.
Marks voice is magical and theres nothing like it. his raspy dirty undertone is amazing. Such a fascinating man to listen to. hes been through so much shit. Rest In Power beautiful soul!
His book, Sing Backwards and Weep, is a harrowing, brilliant piece of writing.
So grateful to have grown up in the 90s with these bands as my life's soundtrack. Saw Nirvana November @ the Armory 6 months before Kurt passed, STP @ the Mann, but never the Trees or Alice in Chains (my absolute favorite band of all time). RIP - Mark Lanegan 🙏
Grateful too! It was like the doors were blown open and all this great music spilled out for a minute b4 being slammed shut again.
Wonderful documentary dude, loved the rest too. Proper grunge fan. Always been a massive fan of both Screaming Trees and Alice in Chains. Mad Season was just magical to hear both Layne and Mark duet.
I don't think people realise how truly underrated Screaming Trees nor Mark's solo career were. It sadly took Mark's death for people to kind of do a rediscovery if you will. I always felt the last two ST albums were just as good as the best albums of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, AIC and Soundgarden. I particularly enjoyed the last four of their work, unique.
It is a shame that Andy, Kurt, Layne, Mike, Scott, Chris and now Mark are no longer with us, they all had this angelic aura about them. May their music live on.
Wow!!! I can't help but feel such a deep dark sadness for many of the Grunge greats... it truly goes to show money absolutely does not bring happiness and imo brings a deeper sorrow to them. They hide behind their riches with the same deep depression they started with. Layne's story makes me feel the same. 😪 This was very well written and I truly appreciate you putting it on RUclips for us! Thank you... RIP Mark, Layne and Kurt ❤️
Yeah when you abuse hard drugs on a daily basis having lots of money is a burden on your life. It does make it more convenient but it also makes it harder to quit.
@@joshuayettou9032 perhaps, but it’s easier to deal with addiction with money than dead broke.
having said that, i don’t think lanegan was particularly wealthy - just because a musician is famous, doesn’t mean they’re rich. takes a lot of record sales to recoup major labels’ advances - and responsible financial management, which lanegan certainly lacked when his various habits were raging
Thanks for investing your time, effort and love in this project Matt. I lived in Wallingford and worked in the U District during the late 80's and early 90's so I saw some of the street level events described in your film, especially the cycle of addiction some of my friends caught up in. I shared a house with a couple touring musicians and worked with folks who struggled with heroin addiction so I feel so fortunate to have escaped without my own personal dark encounter.
Watching your film is like looking in a mirror at an alternate life which I avoided only by chance or circumstance. Reflecting on the lives and talent lost to addiction I'm even more convinced that we need universal healthcare so that people suffering from the disease can get the care and treatment they need, hopefully to someday break those chains and live life more fully.
You've done some tangible good with this film Matt. Good on you, sir.
It’s so sad that he had gone through all that but survived, only to still die fairly young, even if he was a lot older than Kurt or Layne were.
Lot older? Mark was born Nov 1964 and Kurt 20 Feb1967, Layne 22 Aug 1967
The only positive I can find about his story is that him, Kurt, and Layne are all together again. What a sad ending for such a brilliant talent.
I didn't know anything about Mark before watching this incredible video. I really liked it. I just got sober from opioid myself about 6 months ago so listening to this story was really relatable and eye opening. Great stuff, man.
RIP Van Connor... If you aren't familiar with his other band Solomon Grundy, in which he writes, sings lead & plays guitar, I highly recommend you seek out their lone album
You did an excellent job with this sir. I never knew his whole story and this was fascinating. Thank you for being respectful about it.
I'm really excited for this one! Hard to believe it's almost been a year since he passed away. RIP Dark Mark ♥️🖤♥️🖤♥️🖤
such an unexpected passing
That’s cool you included info about Kristen Pfaff. She used to live in my building in Uptown neighborhood of Minneapolis. She was a very cool girl. Gone far too soon. R.I.P.
that’s really cool
Had he taken up Kurt’s offer to sing at the unplugged concert and worked with David O’Russell he would be more well known. I knew a bit about his struggles but his memoir was very dark. He didn’t shy away from what he did but I’ve also read what close friends thought of him and they were always in a positive light. Other books about Seattle did include the Screaming Trees and their dynamics were interesting. Lanegan did seem like a bruiser on sight with those massive fists but he was also very introspective and a voracious reader. Somewhat a walking contradiction. In some ways he seemed more like a Lost Generation figure, a literary type who would fight at the drop of a hat like Hemingway or Norman Maclean.
He had a hard life but I’m glad he had some peace near the end. His music sure made me happy.
What’s some of your favorite books about Seattles music era?
Thank you for that information. I'm always happy to learn new information that I haven't already read or learned from an internet channel/podcast. Maybe if he had sang with Kurt at the unplugged concert, both of their lives may have taken a different direction. It could have been what they both wanted and needed at that time. Kurt wanted to move in a different direction musically, so that could have been that different direction, and it would have been an opportunity that Mark wouldn't wanted to have blown because of addiction. But it is what it is, a very tragic story.
Long Gone Day might be the best song on that album filled with awesome songs
As somebody who toured and did drugs with my favorite musicians this shit hits me so hard. I used to party with jonny craig when we toured together and I felt like mark must’ve felt. I’m cooking shots for this amazing vocalist whom I admire and I’m the lowest I’ve ever been. I did and sold drugs to people who are mad famous to this day. Drugs have taken so much from me and I’m grateful every day I’m not shooting dope.
I have listened to the audio version of this at least 2 dozen times. I go to bed at night and listen... Isn't it amazing how he had such an amazing memory? To be a full blown junkie for that many years and that long ago... super impressive. He should have been an author his entire career... what a delightful vocab this man had. I know a lot of intelligent musicians that speak very well, like Chris Robinson.... Mark seems to be the best I have seen. Poor guy needed his mothers love. I could have as well. I like how Bobby Scarfo (post below mine) explains how important the scene was to me... so just read his comment next. Rest in peace... all of you that have left us.
Excellent video, my man - I greatly enjoyed. Thank you for the work you put into it.
Much appreciated!
He made some of my favorite music by anyone. Each record is so strong. Prolific. RiP Mark
This was fantastic, thank you for putting this together.
As a die hard grunge fan. I can say, well done. This pulled on my heart strings man. Thanks for this.
See you in heaven one day all grunge gods rest in power 🤘🏾🤘🏾🕉️🙏🤘💯👑
Thanks for doing this video, I really enjoyed it. Mark was a great talent, he'll always be missed.
RIP
just got his audiobook biography for my birthday in January. And I was still pondering it fresh when he passed away. He definitely will be missed.
This was excellent, thank you for doing this.
You put out some really good documentaries brother got mad love for you.
So cool to get to see all these different pics of Mark
Your documentary could be touched up a bit, but it's pretty good, man. Thank you for doing the weeks/months of work it took to make it as good as it is.
Most importantly, thanks for sharing Mark Lanegan. I love Mark's music, and I love his story as well. He was a true original from rock's last stand on the world stage. Screaming Trees had quite a bit of "roll" as well, something missing from quite a bit of rock since way back in the day.
Thanks so much for this man. Was looking for a video on Mark and this was excellent.
That was a fantastic doc cheers….what an epic goosebumps inducing way to end it too…that was beautiful
❤Mark , one of the greatest vocalists ever. A very nostalgic documentary for an amazing yet tragic time in music history. I was and still am, a Grunge kid. RIP Mark and all those incredible talented musicians we have lost X
Thank you for creating this. I just found it. Mark is...thank you for making this and posting it. You did a wonderful job.
Proper respect to Courteney Love, despite many of the bad things she's done and said, for trying to help Mark avoid Kurt's fate.
You mean being murdered?
His story is truly tragic. Thank you for doing something to bring recognition to this amazing artist.
This is great. Awesome job. RIP Mark. I read his autobiography. Very good. I respect the way you kept that out. The Airport ride.
Lanegan was such a hidden treasure, and I think he probably liked it that way. I suspect had he been more famous he would have died much sooner. I was always surprised he wasn't more well known though.
Great outline of his book! It’s cool that you are getting his story out further.
Bro, this was an exceptionally incredible documentary you gave us!!
This was fantastic. Thanks for making.
Found your channel yesterday bro and I’ve watched and learned a lot already. You make it easy to watch and enjoy. Thanks
My gosh I have never heard of Mark Lonegan nor the band The Screaming Trees. Just listening to his music and his voice on this documentary draws me in and I have such feeling in his words. ❤
Dude. You nailed this. Thank you!
thank you very much! some things we did not know.
You are welcome!
Another amazing documentary. Mark Lanegan will forever remain the greatest musician from the Seattle scene of the 90s
Thank you for making this
Just stumbled upon this. Wow. Really enjoyed it. ❤
And there is his work with the Gutter Twins, with Isobel Campbell, Mark Morton, Soulsavers, Twilight Singers and a lot more. In my mind he is on the same shelf with Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, Tom Waits. Cure for soul.
This was so informative and put together so well! I was impatiently waiting for the premiere!
thank you very much
Great job on this piece! It was hauntingly beautiful and extremely sad.❤
Excellent job on these docs.
Woah. Not only did I learn of all the connections he had with the bands I love, this ended with a pedal steel player that I thought was just playing some fitting sounds, only to turn into absolute chills for me when Mark started singing. ADDING Layne's tracks...chills even more.
That was amazing and thank you.
I'm just grateful not only for his music but just to say hello to him before a QOTSA show. I was walking down an ally behind The Newport Music Hall in Columbus Ohio in 2002. I look up and sitting on a fire escape was Lanegan. Told him how much I dug his stuff. I didn't want to fan boy out so I left it at that. Glad I did. R.I.P. Brother
Thank you. This was accurately and tastefully done. I was a heroin addict in Seattle in the Early 90s and that is just the way it went down!
Thanks for this ×
Brought to tears with Mark singing Nutshell. Awesome Documentary!
Excellent documentary....thank you. 💗
great job w the doc. That was a tear jerker, and very informative. Thanks for posting. Hope to see more of your work. You should have steady work as a documentarian if you don't already
Excellent work, my friend. He was my favourite artist. Seen him play live over 20 years. A true legend.
Great documentary, very moving. RIP Mark Lanegan
Wow, another awesome documentary ..Good job.
This was amazing, great job telling a dark story
That was awesome. Thank you
Great documentry thanks
Great video man. Now I gotta listen to him read the book. His voice was so amazing. He will be missed.
Great video. Ive read sing backwards and weep 3 times in the past 6 months. T.y.
Good work, really enjoyed it.
Great job !
i am 54yers old from israel mark Lanegan was here five times over the years playing in a rock club under the radar i saw the last three. he made me feel proud every time. proud of the way he got old not stopping making his music not selling not buying i miss him
Thank you for this ....I miss Mark so much ...I cry 😢 🖤💔🥀
His music told his story, that is why its so pure and so great.
RIP Mark, you are missed.
Very well done! Thankyou
Glad you liked it!
Anthony Bourdain and Mark Lanegan were great friends and Anthony was helping Mark encouraging him to release his memoir book he was exchanging emails reading it and giving Mark feedback.. if not for their friendship we may have never gotten the memoir that has so many stories about Layne Staley and so many memories...I'm so happy Mark got this out and I'm still just wrenched that he's gone ...how? I know he had COVID but did something else happen he seemed so healthy from being sober all these years...the interview with Joseph Arthur come to where I'm from podcast is a must watch if you like Mark Lanegan...it's loaded with stories and great laughs it's just amazing go check it out ! Joseph Arthur is another awesome dude worth checking out who has a deep connection to the Seattle music scene he's done art with Mike McCready and he played in a band with Jeff Ament...also peter buck from REM called Arthur/Buck ...he also has a project with Ben Harper and Dhani Harrison called fist full of mercy that's amazing
Keep up the good work!! you have the best detailed story..as if I am listening from story tale. The best!!
Thanks for making this documentary of a legendary performer. An incredible voice and talent. If you haven't heard the albums he did with Isobel Campbell in the 2000's, definitely check them out. They have an incredible intense light/darkness dynamic to their music. Her voice so pure and ethereal and his so gruff and deep, some of his best vocal performances imo. Ballad of the Broken Seas is my favourite album they did.
Was lucky enough to see him perform live once, with Greg Dulli of the Afghan Whigs.
RIP Mark. ....and so many others from that scene.
It makes me sick to even look at Courtney, especially after Kurt and Kristen died. Two people very close, or were very close to Courtney, who wanted to get away from her forever! And before they could go, they died. Then Courtney flaunts it in everyone's face. Her life has been mostly miserable anyway, with all of the law suits, the heavy drug addictions for many years, (which is her way of dealing with guilt, if you're too messed up you don't have to think about it), the media tearing her up, and being the most hated woman, I'm safe to say, in the world. And the worst thing is, she keeps doing the same thing over and over, and the results are no different.
Kristen looks terrible in that one picture. That's what some people who are jealous of you do to you. In her case they got her addicted to heroin, having no friends or family in Seattle, they took control off her and her life. And once they have you where they want you, week and dependent, they drag you down more until eventually you get out one way or another.
I forgot about a lot of stuff in Marks book. Why did Eric tell Mark not to deal with Courtney? Because he knew Courtney needed someone to prey on, and control, and when they try to leave her they end up dead. Those messages she obsessively left left were of professional stalker level. When Mark wouldn't pick up, then the threats came in. Then she shows up at his door to basically enter without his permission. Maybe counting on him not being home and stealing something to blackmail him with. That's what she did. The thing about Mark, no matter how heavy his addiction was, no one was going to get the best of him. He was too strong to be manipulated by Courtney, so she eventually gave up. That's some scary stuff. IMO, that says exactly what kind of a person she is and what's she's capable of.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
