    Re: Yo we miss u Layne

    4/20 - today is the day they found Layne's body.

     Wish I had found him before 4/5/02 and tried to help.  Not that I may have made a difference, but wish I could have tried.  You never know.  Any one of us may have been the one to make a difference.

    Just thinking of him laying there for 3 weeks hurts my heart.

    To be honest I think everyone feels the same way. I hadn't listened to AIC or Layne in a real long time but I haven't been able to get him out of my head for the past few months and it makes me feel as bad now as it did then!

     Who knows maybe one day time travel will be an option and we can all descend on him en masse!! I'll keep livin in hope

    Re: Yo we miss u Layne

    I'm a pretty new AIC fan, and I've been trying to learn all I can about the band, including listening to and reading interviews with them.  One of the things I've been struck by, is what a nice, decent guy Layne comes across as.  I've never heard him act like a stuck-up rock star, unlike the way so many of his contempararies acted.  Yet, he WAS the ultimate rock star, you know what I mean? I'm really fascinated by him, and I hope that someday a documentary is made about him, not some crappy scripted movie, with some actor playing him, but a REAL account of his life, with interviews of his family and friends.  I think it will happen someday.  Probably not anytime soon, but mark my words, the more time that passes and the more years go by, the more people will be intrigued by this one-of-a-kind man.

    Here's the link to the interview.  There are 10 parts to the interview but, specifically, it's part 9 in the beginning where Layne explains the story behind "It's Coming After".  It was recorded before AiC was together.

    Here's Part 9:

    The entire interview is really good!  Layne is hysterical, cracking jokes.  It's great to hear him laugh.  He mentions *several* times that he wants to do another album with the guys.  All the while saying, "let's do it!", "let's go", etc.  They had other projects going on, though.  Mainly, Jerry's album.

     

     

    Thanks for posting that, I had not heard this interview in quite sometime.

    I always laughed  when the one caller asked Layne what FROGS meant and Layne responded that he could not remember any of the lyrics of the song at the the time. 




    RIP Layne. The music lives on..........

    Wow what absolutely beautiful ocean pics!   Thanks so much for posting Iluska (hope I got your name right)...  Would love to see Brazil I can just imagine how gorgeous the oceans and the landscaping must be. 

    Awe...So sentimental and sad when you said that you think of Layne at times like these. But I'm sure he's looking down at all of us from a much much better place... Angel<<hugz>>

    ^ Thanks, Linda! Brazil is very beautiful indeed and big. So, it has many different things to be seen. Wink

    You spelled my name right! Yes But don't worry... people here is always confused about it too! So.. I'm used to it. hehe LOL

    It's sad indeed.. but it's good though. *hugs back* He is part of my life and I'm happy I found him.... even though he isn't here anymore. Sad I'm sure he's at a much better place Angel and he probably thinks I'm totally nuts... Mr Green But I hope he at least laughs about it! LOL I always say that it's not my fault... it's his fault I'm like this! LOL If he weren't so talented and such a beautiful soul, I wouldn't "so crazy.. so crazy... so crazy"! Broken Heart

    Thank you, Layne! I love you! Broken Heart

    Re: Memories of Layne

    I started listening to Alice in Chains about a year before Layne died. His music and voice got me through most of my drug addiction. I have lost a lot of friends to heroin, and through laynes voice and lyrics, I can honestly say that through the pain he felt, I was able to connect with him on a much deeper level.

     Thank you Layne Staley, for touching my heart with your music. May your legacy live on.

    Re: Memories of Layne

    ON THE WIND

    The wind blows through my window, as I think of you today.

    I hear your voice soar on the breeze, why did you go away?

    I know your sky turned black, you became an army of one.

    But you left the battle early, before the war was fought and won.

     

    The voice of an angel, singing celestial songs of sorrow

    It breaks the hearts of those you loved, knowing there's no tomorrow

    Your voice was not just heard, but it touched our very souls

    A wordsmith, artist, poet, you showed so many people, the deepness of the hole

     

    You were the clown who kept on laughing, to hide his sadness from the world

    The media they hounded you, their aim, your private life unfurled

    The fishbowl life of stardom, was not your chosen thing

    Anyone could see that, through the "Nutshell" lyrics you would sing

     

    We felt your pain and anguish, with every word you spoke

    And that fateful day in April, well my heart it simply broke

    The sense of sadness and of loss, was tangible for all

    We loved and we adored you, nobody wanted you to fall

     

    So now your bodies gone, your soul eternally at rest

    Many round the world say as a singer, you were the very best

    But you were also a person, trapped inside your skin

    To tell you how loved and missed you are, where do I begin?

    ===================================================

     

    Cheers

     

    Steve

    Re: Memories of Layne

    These stories are all really great to read. I can't wait for the day that an authorized, authentic, respectful biography that will  focus on the HUMAN BEING named Layne Staley. Everyone that was touched by this legend will be wearing a smile. The press trashed his art while he was alive. His fans have cherished it.....always. His art and his memory will grow with time. It will continue to touch alot of people. Only the great ones can create such a gift like this.
    I see a whole lot of you dressed up like some of the members of Kiss.How come no one is dressed up like me? What's up with that???- Layne-" Last AIC show July 3, 1996 "
