In one of Layne's final interviews (could have been his last public one) he talked about how he had lost all his teeth, was under 100 pounds, and was shitting his pants all the time because his body wasn't working anymore. He was living in an apartment and no one ever saw him except his smack dealer.
This was 5 or 6 years before he finally died. Something about that has always stuck with me and bothered me. -
Rip to the best musician to come from seattle, in my opinion. Yes, I know of hendrix

Obligatory:
Why don't you just say that Layne Staley was murdered -

Meadowdale Chiefs, Class of '85.
Lane lived like his heroes and died like them. Sad ending for a nice kid from Lynnwood who'd gone so far and accomplished so much. -

Let me break it down for your. In a Nutshell:
"Am I wrong" is a lyric in the song Would.
Jesus, I have never felt such frustration. -
On March 8th none of you posted about Mike Starr. You'll all dead to me.

I hung out with Layne one evening and we drove to the Des Moines 7-11 together and sat in the car talking philosophy for a long while. Interesting guy.

Love Layne. I love Kurt, but the best live frontman from that era was Scott Weiland.
I'm on my broke phone, but google stp down live 1999. If you aren't feeling that, I don't know what to tell you. -
Some would argue Weiland was from a different era, though I agree about live performance. Layne and Kurt were far more compelling songwriters and individuals though. And Cornell probably had the best voice of them all. Definitely has the best voice now...RoadDawg55 said:Love Layne. I love Kurt, but the best live frontman from that era was Scott Weiland.

Cornell is the best voice of the 90's, period. If you disagree you pick the 7-11 and I'll be there.
-
Agree. Best voice of the 80s is a tougher call. I'd probably go Axle but some say Steve Perry. I'm sure there are plenty of hairband noyds who would nominate there* own guy.Swaye said:Cornell is the best voice of the 90's, period. If you disagree you pick the 7-11 and I'll be there.
Edit: The right answer is probably Michael. I'm sure Spooge agrees. -
Cornell vs. the Staley/Cantrell harmonies is a toss up for me. Both are absolutely iconic in their own ways.
-
Alice in Chains opened for Poison and Extreme.
-
Jerry Cantrell was a dick.
-
Cornell is great, but the rest of the band is subpar to any other 90's grunge type band.
They used to be my favorite. Not anymore though. I still like them better than Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam and their fans are awful.
