I like this years shirts the best so far. Thanks for posting those pics, Karma!
Thank heavens we don't all find the same thing attractive in people.... what a mess that would make! It was that very "boyish aura" that Layne had that just totally did me in. In such a jaded industry, it was very refreshing to see. Of course, Eddie has his own charm, and I would be a big liar if I did not admit I swooned over him a couple of times....

I'm referring to my own opinion of Layne Staley. Clearly from your and my descriptions of what I don't care for and you do, they are not the same. And they don't need to be. All opinions are welcome here.

Still so sad that Layne Staley died so young. I just wonder what songs we never heard. He was hot when he was healthy (a little skinny for my tastes) and since I didn't know him, I can't really say what he was like, but I am sure he was rather cool before the addiction totally took him over. I mean, who wants to be around someone that doesn't want to be saved. (if that was the case of course) RIP Layne. Your voice sings still......

Ok, so I managed to help us veer off into Vedder land... which we know is not allowed.... so back to the subject at hand...............
Layne. Whew. I guess I just don't get why people that do not like him or find him at least interesting keep getting pulled to this thread. I think that must speak to the intrigue of who he was. I guess everyone keeps hoping those codo pictures will surface? And you know they are out there.. Last edited by grrrnay; 10-29-2009 at 09:47 PM.

I think a lot of people are confusing this concept. This is NOT a Layne Staley FANS ONLY thread is anything related to him. Anyone is welcomed; you don't have to be a fan to be here. Hopefully that clears things up. Which something tells me this has been explained numerous times.

I must tell you all a cool thing. One of my classmates from when I was 15 turned into a rock star in his own right (starting off with punk, but now it's more ordinary rock, though with a touch of punk still). We found each other on Facebook again, and started to talk about Layne. I mean he's in the business, and he says that everyone agrees that Layne is a true example of how a rock singer should sing, that his voice is one of the best ever in rock etc etc. It was so very nice to hear this from someone who now works internationally in the music business. I'm very glad he told me this!

Wow. Ok. I keep trying to be nice and try to bring the thread back on track, cause I thought that was what we are supposed to do (BTW, If you go back and read I said vedder makes me swoon..... that means I LIKE him.....) and I NEVER implied that this board should not have all opinions expressed, just that I thought it a testament to how interesting Layne is that people who are not fans still find him interesting enough to take time to come to this thread and read about his life.
Geez Louise, I never thought I had such poor communication skills, but apparently I do. Ikeep offending people by accident. Apologies yet again.

I think Layne was beautiful, inside and out. Very talented with a lot of demons. It's really quite sad.

Thanks for sharing the shirt pics Karma!! Wish I could've been there... oh well, maybe next year.
Speaking of the grunge guys... I love all of them! Vedder, Cornell, Cobain, Staley. Those are the gods I worship!

[quote=SassyMonkey719;955564]Watching Alice on Conan as i type...
WOW...Jerry looks rough!... It dosen't sound to me that the new guy is trying to replace Layne. It seems more like Jerry is pretty much taking over the vocals and the new guy is there for effect.[/quote Someone in the earlier thread had said he was looking like Rip Van Winkle.....Gosh he was so pretty back in the day. I bet there are more than one of us would love to go back to the way we looked in the 90's - I know I would!( but not the late 80's - I had shaved the side of my head ala' Cyndi Lauper- not a good look for me and very hard to grow out) When Jerry takes the lead in vocals, the sound is (to me) close to vintage AIC. I do think Duvall harmonizes well with him, but I don't think anyone can ever match the quality that Jer & Layne had. Their voices (IMO) were really meant for each other.

Yay! I finally got my Layne's foot t-shirt from ebay this week! That's another of the things I really enjoy about Layne & his legacy, he had a great sense of humor
And yeah, Those shirts from this years LSF Tribute were really nice, I wish I could have gotten one myself in person. I have a question: the people who work with the Layne Staley Fund are referred to as L'Ayngels. Is this this a reference to a nickname that Layne himself had, maybe given to him by his mom as a wee one, or is it just a cute play on words?

My guess is a cute play on words too. I have never seen anything about his mom referring to him that way.

His voice difference was due to heroin abuse and a few too many Marlboro's. Most addicts drown in their addiction never accomplish anything. He kept on going for as long as he could and considering the shape he was in, in my eyes he went above and beyond what any other addict could do. I love him.

I'll post you a Layne photo then, here you go:
 PS Tuning down does not have anything with his voice to do though, but is a way to make rock music rock, since the strings will wibrate in a different way when they are "looser" on the neck of both guitar and bass, so that's why they all do it (most rock groups in fact do this). Just facts, I really love Layne's voice, don't get me wrong, lol.

So was anyone watching Law and Order SVU last night? There was a young, rich kid addicted to heroin. Huang helps get the kid clean by taking him to an "illegal" ibogaine clinic. Apparently, ibogaine can cure someone of heroin addiction overnight, yet there is not pharmaceutical company backing its distribution in the US.
I wonder if Layne knew about Ibogaine? Of course, television is part fantasy. So even if ibogaine exists, maybe it doesn't work exactly as described on Law and Order. Has anyone on the board heard of, or had experience with, ibogaine?

Interesting KCBee. I've never heard of Ibogaine, but apparently it has anti-addictive properties, but is too expensive to be on the market. What a shame. It looks like it could help some people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibogaine
Layne tried methadone for a while, but it was difficult for him due to stardom and lack of support. I don't know why he didn't have the methadone bought to him.

Here's another photo. I don't know what had happened to his arm (or is it a dislocated shoulder? but then you normally get the hand more in front of you) at this time. Anyone?
(He has his arm in a sling in other photos too, like the series of him in the big black round sunglasses, from his hair I think it's about the same time.)

^^that is a very good question, Miss Karma. We know about the foot, but I have never heard anything about the arm
 ...and to add an example of my favorite Layne time period, here he is young, healthy and with dreads a-flyin':

Try try try to understaaaaand, he's a magic man...
Yeah, he is! Back to my own personal preferences, I like the few pics that I've seen of him in action with this kind of blur on them. For me, it's capturing the raw spirit of music that Layne embodied for me; in pics like this he IS the music he's playing, and I just love it
