Layne Staley Tribute

I went through a difficult time but held on because of Layne. In his words, I pulled off my skin and swam to shore. His music helped me survive the tough times. Thank you Layne.

Such a lonely soul. Wish he hadn't died that way. His spirit is in a better place now. RIP Stanley

I first heard alice when i was three 10 yrs later thyre still my fav band.

"same old trip it was back then"
r.i.p.

2008 a fan of AIC put on mtv's unplugged with alice in chains. Lastly, a goofy looking pink haired fellow quickly gets to his seat and then sings whats now my favorite song. I sat quietly in utter astonishment while this music is affecting me in no way any sound has, especially that guitar like voice. I was happy to have heard a band my feelings harmonized with. Not only that but i felt the pain in his appearance and his crackle that his great voice tried to covered up. i fell in love with the real man who declared himself in pain infront of fans. i give much respect to. Since i have felt neverending heartache from deaths and deaths i related to pain very well and being an addict. As the credits rolling down, the first fan sitting on the couch finally told me that Layne Staley was not with us anymore. My heart crumbled. Sitting there in shock, both good and bad. good for such music. bad for no more such music. I grieved in the silences of my soul for a man i knew was special. I will die loving the young man that poured his old beautiful soul out into the mic. I thank him with they, everyday that i hear pain instead of feeling it. In some sence i think Laynes pain is here to listen so dwelling in ours sounds no worse. tho pain is pain no better no worse. i suffer no more as "black gives way to blue".
RIP Dearest Layne
