hey guys, new to this board. Been a lifelong AIC fan. 

I fee layne's pain everyday. I am a heroin addict myself. I actually got the chance to meet layne in '95 when I was visiting seatlle. He was right there among the rest of us in a coffee shop. I did a double take and then the girl behind the counter said " yep, thats him". I didnt want to bother him, but I walked past him and noticed that his eyes were rolling to the back of his head and he was slowly nodding off, then i heard him say.. " i like your shirt man, did you go to the show?" Which he was referring to a sepultura concert shirt I was wearing, and i stopped and had a 5 minutes conversation with him. We talked about music and about the girl behind the counter how she annoyed him in some way. We laughed, and he bought me a cup of coffee.

 When I think of layne. I think of how regular of a peson he was amidst us. He was a warm hearted soul that was beyond his music. The grip of the demon that layne and I share is such an immense force that it controls our every move, motion and thought. Layne has been released from those demons and hopefully I will soon. I am detiroating rapidly now, and suspect my end is near. Then I will be able to buy layne a cup of coffee in return.

Thank you for sharing your story of meeting Layne with us, he sounded so nice, was he as handsome in person?

 

I am so sorry for your struggle, I suffer from an eating disorder and although I can never comprehend your pain I do know what its like to deal with something destructive that you just can't get away from. I will keep you in my thoughts.

Hello pigtackla!

What a nice story, good memories for you, I´m sure that Layne had a good energy, thanks for sharing it with us and thanks for talk with us about your heroin problems. That is a very big advance for you, accept that you have a problem will give you strength to get well. I don´t have any kind of drug problems but I can imagine that it must be hard. Please, don´t give up, you´re gonna be released of your demons but in this world, ok? Don´t worry about Layne, he will  wait for the cup of coffe  , I´m sure about that. Wish you get well soon.

Never let down and don´t forget that everything you´re searching for is inside you so don´t  look around to find what is so near

I´m sure you´re gonna do it

Layne will be very proud to see that his music help you save your life

                                             Much love to you from Venezuela

I seriously hope you are just taking the piss! If you are not, how fucking selfish!

Your pain is selfchosen, the pain that the ones that love you feel isnt, so get the fuck clean man...Layne can wait for your cup of coffee, unfortunately somebody I know a little has just gone up there and it wasnt his choice so dont you worry about Layne not getting his coffee....Feel the Love around you and hear the message! Best of luck to you!

I think the people that think that all AIC's music was just about  drugs aren't getting all of it, I feel bad for them people. I suggest they throw on some Chains, close their eye's and really listen, Layne was very intelligent, his lyrics are much, much deeper than that. There can be many interpretations, but if you open your mind and really listen, I think there's one true meaning......

I feel bad for them too. Hope these people open their minds and listen with their hearts Alice´s music.

Try to find the tiny flicker of light inside that will keep you here.  try to bring that flicker back to a flame. get yourself into a program. please seek help for your condition even if it is the hundreth time. you deserve to live. and none of this is your fault at all. life is tough and everyone is made differently.  i dont' know anything about a heroin addiction but i can only imagine it's a living hell. and my heart goes out to you. it's trying to break free of the devil himself for sure. try to face him and be stronger than him though it may be the hardest thing to do. in that flicker of light you will find the strength if you want to. http://www.laynestaleyfund.com/

I  have been an aic fan for a long time & they also helped me through my years of teen angst, even  now when I am down I find their albums therapeutic. I really miss Layne & am envious of anyone who was lucky enough to meet him. He had sucha wonderful, unique talent & I really wish he had been able to beat his addiction. I anxiously await the get born again movie, I have never read the book but have heard it sucks, but I am really curious to know how they will portray the end of Laynes life when he was very reclusive & was shutting alot of people out because not much is know about this part of his life. I do hope pigtackla tries to overcome this as Layne suffered terribly, lost his exfiance Demri and said himself that he wished he never tried it. I am glad I never tried this particular drug as it seems quite horrific & consuming once youve tried it, I have tried others but no longer partake. RIP Layne- miss you everyday!!

I don't think theres anything I can say about Layne..that already hasn't been said. He was a beautiful man and his voice changed my life. Layne offered such charisma and humor..Even after his death he's still touching the hearts of his fans. When I think of him I'm often at a loss for words..Not because I view him as this "god" or "super idol"..But because I genuinely value everything he has created/helped to create. Plainly put..he was a great guy..You can tell he was a very real person. I'm saddened by the fact that I never got to meet him. But he will always be a part of me. (I suppose thats why I don't have a boyfriend hahah!! Layne owns my heart)

I love ya Layne.

Rest In Peace

Awww.  We'll all be single forever if we compare ever dude we meet to Layne.  None of them would measure up.

Here's a quote from Dr. Seuss (of all people) I read in my company's health newsletter (of all places) that I need to keep in mind when it comes to Layne...."Don't cry because it's over.  Smile because it happened."

Thats a very nice quote. I will keep that in mind when it comes to Layne too. :)

I liked it too.  As it applies to Layne, I figure instead of asking, why isn't he still here?  Why could so many others beat their addiction but he couldn't?  Why?  Why?  Why?  Who am I to question whomever makes those decisions?  I'm certainly not God.  Instead, I should just be grateful (and smiling) that I got to see and experience the little bit of him that I did in the short time he was here.
