  • In this video i look at a phone call made from Layne Staley into a local radio station where he talks with Jerry Cantrell his old band mate. I discuss the significance of this as 'Chains' did not do much of anything more as a band from this time onwards.

    I'm always taken aback by the difference between Layne's speaking voice and his singing voice. Layne Staley spoke with such a gentle tone. 🥀

      He had a very powerful voice, other bands that toured with him said his voice would audibly stand out in a crowd of people singing. You have to speak softly when your vocal cords work that hard.

      I know! Layne did kinda clam up a tad when talking about Jerry doing a solo record though. They could have easily changed the subject if the host sensed that. I guess in retrospect he probably just wanted to keep the pace up and had a schedule to keep. Those radio shows are timed very rigidly, and not a great way to have a loose conversation.

      that conversation should have gone on for hours let layne be himself talk about what he was up too. i think the talk about cantrells solo work kinda irked layne a bit its a shame layne/ kurt. / chris cornell n scott weilend are all gone. we missed out on potentially some awesome tunes

    I believe that Layne fell in love with Jerry as much as Jerry fell in love with Layne. I so admire Layne for encouraging Jerry to sing his songs. You can tell how connected they were on an artistic level. The brotherhood there was never in question.

      I believe that Layne just gave up after Demri passed away in 1996. He essentially almost never left his condo from 1996-2002. 😢 And when he did, it was always alone, typically at night, and usually just to buy video games. No one actually noticed that he'd passed away for several weeks, and it was actually his accountant who noticed that something was wrong, because he hadn't withdrawn any money from his account.

    • @DaveS432
      @DaveS432 Год назад +5

      I think it's probably because the interview was supposed to be more about Jerry and his new album than Layne. Layne was a call in, and they didn't have any questions lined up for him, so they treated him like any other. He gave a vague answer on what he was up to, and that was all they could do with him. If they kept him on the line too long, Jerry might have felt ignored and slighted, and it would look bad for the DJ.

Homeless Jerry, Layne had him live with him at the practice space place. Let him have access to instruments fed him etc. Layne had a job. Jerry didn't. I'm still really miffed at the fact Jerry was a cr*ck addict and Sean was a drunk and heavily in to blow. But they were done with Layne cuz he was an H addict. They are hypocrits.
