Yep. And he bravely answered truthfully. Layne Lives

great question tbh

horrible if you ask me

Leg3ndKilla687 im gonna go search for a giant penis

superduperkoolman123 He is immortalized via his music.

reb1138 yeah but dead

Agree with reb on this one he's more alive than he ever has been...immortal indeed

He knew what was coming for him, he says it all in plain English in his lyrics. " I lie dead and gone under red sky"

That part always breaks my heart... 💔

I'd bring back the 90's for you if I could. I would try to bring back the 80's first (just being honest).

The public is trying. We're starting with nostalgia clothing.

I'm on it

Oh god damn it i love 90's times fu ck do not remind me!

The 90’s was such a better time to be a human on earth! Fucking Paigers and saved by the bell is where it’s at! Lol what I wouldn’t do to go back!

He spoke too soon when he said that because a short time later everything was an excuse for him…

you do know he died of a drug overdose right? watching him should be a reminder how not to live your life, don't do drugs

orla ndo Oh fuck you! Layne was a good dude with a bad problem. All Layne was =/= Drug addict. He was much more than that.

whatever nick youre missing my point, we all know how great an artist/musician he was but he shouldn't be hailed as a role model, he died due to his affliction and that should be a reminder to EVERYONE, don't fuck about with drugs, cos they will fuck u up in the end

He can very well be a role model! In fact, he's one of mine! Just because he was a drug addict, does not mean he's not a suitable role model, a hero, or a source of inspiration. That was my point, so you obviously missed my point as well. I'm willing to look past his affliction, to who he really was. He was a beautiful, kind, insightful, caring, intuitive person. The poor guy just had a huge problem he couldn't get past. If anything, he can be a role model for people to NOT do drugs. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that drugs are good by any means. It makes me so sad to see amazing people wound up in drugs and dying. You are right- don't fuck around with drugs, because the will fuck you up in the end. Straight from Layne himself: "I wrote about drugs, and I didn’t think I was being unsafe or careless by writing about them…When I tried drugs, they were fuckin great, and they worked for me for years, and now they are turning against me -and now I’m walking through hell, and this sucks. I know I'm near death, I did crack and heroin for years. I never wanted to end my life this way. I'm not using drugs to get high like many people think. I know I made a big mistake when I started using this SHIT. It's a very difficult thing to explain. My liver is not functioning, and I'm throwing up all the time and SHITTING my pants. The pain is more than you can handle. It's the worst pain in the world. Dope sick hurts the entire body.”

ye I remember that interview well, but there are many that wont, youngsters that listen to his lyrics and see videos of him talking about heroin and how great it is, are you happy? i'm man, content and fully aware, money status, nothing to me.....the sad fact is when he was singing these lyrics he wasn't a good role model. I get what you are saying, I think his voice and music were great, but the lyrics when you listen to them, were deep and sad, pitiful even. so he did some good things aside from drugs but ultimately he gave his life to heroin, and by the time he ahted it it was to late, so my point is this, he had a great talent but when he was successful and current he was a walking advert for heroin, he was, he loved it and he wanted everyone to know that. he was niave of course we know that know but back in the day kids would listen to his lyrics and think yeah heroin is cool, it gets you high, it makes u create great music and gets u success in life........... layne learnt the hard way this wasn't true, godbless him, im not a hater just being realistic, we all have our opinions, I get yours but this is mine

Me three. He looks so hot here damn ♡

Me 4

Get it together!

Me too.but in a straight way.

You guys will never truly know him, unfortunately. How kind, soft spoken, and shy he was outside of his fame. I grew up around him around 1996-2002. Thanks to my asshole, father. I got to meet the guy who was in my life in the beginning, and although it was only 6 short years, he’s affected me more than anybody else. Yes, he watched over me a few times.. I had to see shit that I didn’t comprehend during that time. But I remember playing N64 on his huge flatscreen projector. Messing with drum beats in his minuscule studio. He had an option where if you hit a key, you’d hear an “Ow!, Oof”, or punch sound effect. Like you were beating the high hell out of someone. Layne and I were fond of the game Perfect Dark. We loved it for the same reasons too. Storyline, gameplay, and the music as well. I miss him everyday, and I’m fighting back tears thinking about it.

the dynamic duo ❤

And high as fuck

IKR his speaking voice is so soft and calm 💗

Yeah, it's rare that bands have albums that are ALL good songs. I wonder what happened? It's like every band has at least 1 or 2 good songs, some more, but the rest is just filler or something. I've met guys that can write 2-3 songs a day, but can never remember them unless their notebook is in front of them & I always figured it was bcuz it wasn't personal. One guy was one of those "I wanna be a star, no matter what" type of guys, & was even trying to steal my songs, which is ridiculous bcuz I call my music trash rock. Alice In Chains wrote music that was personal & meaningful to them, but ppl could relate to it. Nowadays groups write music that they think others will like, or will sell, but it's usually the personal songs, the real songs, that are their good ones & the filler is just there to pad out their album. Damn, I miss the good music! This materialistic pop fluff can't last, something's got to give & a bunch of great bands will come out of it, but I hope it happens soon! There's a LOT of ppl who are sick of the music that's available in the mainstream, but can't spend a lot of time trying to find the underground music they'd like bcuz there's a lot of digging involved. RocknRoll!

True ! Laynes' voice is just more childish/sweet

Ri Zzzz anything is possible with opiates

cast the shadow fuck off

cast the shadow Layne is THE LEGEND

Ri Zzzz or get hit with a bottle and cry like a little bitch or puke like Justin babyeir or get hit with a bottle or someone has a camera or is wearing a shirt and freaks out at every show and cancels and cry’s like a big Bitch on his period like axyl rose. Or talks to his fans like shit saying they seen incest and Shit like megadeath lead singer sorry forgot his name. And you got layne who preformed high and sick and with a broken leg. And David growl preformed after breaking his leg on stage come on now. I mean even Halsey she’s a girl and still preformed after having a miscarriage I don’t listen to music of today I love the 90’s and before that music and I’m 23 I was born in 95 lol

me*

Robert Brown Who are your other 2?

He's my top one.

😂😂 unless he was reincarnated as a human again.

@No name Man or as a giant pen¡5 (like Mike said...) 😆🙊

Lol he is pretty even in his older age he looks great

Damn right it was! He had is own style of headbangin 😁

I love it when he does that. It's kinda awkward/cute when he does it with short hair...

@@LaRuStaDaLizard hehe yeah, but he was cool af with them short dreads

I love it you can tell he was feeling the music the coolest most loved headbanger ever❤❤❤

Wish I couldn't see at all

Uaww

i laughed so hard lmao

He was imitating Eddie Murphy in "Trading Places" :)

Totally! After all it wasn't for pleasure of numbness. It was the danger the most attractive aspect of h. using. Kind of like skydiving or a bungee jumping. Flirting with death.

2pacinseattle the whole fucking album was based on heroin and drugs. It‘s an obvious question when you bring out an album like dirt?!

He was pretty open about his addiction..

The album is called "dirt".

Anyone who says they don't do H because of how it feels is lying. Trust.

LOL i noticed that too

💯❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥

IKR, they all looked like models 😍

Hell yeah!

I think he looked best in Man in the Box.. Longer hair and dreads kill me..

Psytex Anonymous I was a teen in the early 90’s and the grunge movement was awesome! AIC was just as much my favorite then as they are now.

Imagine being in Bosnia, Serbia, South Africa, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Rwanda in 90s

@@arnoldstallonereeves7469 Well we're not talking about those countries so 🤷🏻‍♀️

that's the point of a video...make the band look as cool as possible

I just don't like to think sex related things about dead people 😒

+Golden Calavera i do

+Megan Kennedy 😁

Megan Kennedy. Same here! ;)

I seen the strokes lead do the same thing and play the next day. Both love/d spreading music

😢

Read it. Loved it.

Sweet

Thanks for the tip!!!

Thanks Bro - id like to check it out if i can find a copy.Chains are the most magnetic band in my opinion.They truly lived alot of the songs they wrote.Its a very sad reality that Mike and Layne are gone now.So much talent gone way too soon..I believe they couldve been one of the biggest bands in history if they still had Mike and Layne.They had that special chemistry like the original Kiss-Guns n Roses-Black Sabbath -etc....

+lucrese1 good for you I think

😔

You're so lucky!

Eddie Vedder has a fantastic voice. Wtf are you on about? But to each his own... I do prefer Alice in Chains too. Layne's voice was so unique and just amazing. Chris Cornell from Soundgarden was great too, but most of their songs are just boring. And I do think that Nirvana are good but super overrated now, especially by the new flood of mainstream teens that just discovered them, and acting as if they are the only grunge band in existence. Kurt's voice was relatively mediocre to the likes of Layne, Chris or Eddie

Jekku That's the most childish bs I've ever read. just because you love one band more than the other doesn't makes them bad. Eddie's voice is one of the greatest and strongest voices in music history. In fact Nirvana is the last in the big 4 Musical wise, Pearl Jam, Alice in chains, Soundgarden were way greater. people were just too obsessed with kurt cobain that their minds makes them believe that they're the best. Pearl Jam album ten came out before nevermind , Alice in chains facelift too, And also Soundgarden. and this is from a big big fan of Nirvana and Kurt Cobain. love their music so fucking much but I go with honesty here they weren't better than SG, PJ, AIC period. And I wish if you put some respect for these band's .

omg Eddie's voice makes me crazy in a great way lol

Agreed except for possibly Nirvana, I dont care for Kurt. Eddie though, I cant stand that weird yodel of his. Layne was by far the best and AIC the best of that time imo.

They were both from Washington, they will sound similar. Its not weird, at all.

+Donuts Galacticos both born in the year of the goat and from washington and ya Layne was a more technique skilled singer

Both died the same day​@@joshuafult84

lol

It's not the only time. It seemed like Layne n Mike were always paired up. I wish I knew more about their relationship. I think they were like best friends and when Mike was kicked out of the band, they both started to sputter out. By the way, does anyone know why Mike Starr was kicked out of AIC? I don't remember there ever being an explanation. 15 years later I see him on Dr. Drew's celebrity spin dry or whatever that show was. And now Chris Cornell and Kim, another singer & bassist friendship... I can't believe they're all dead! ¿WTF? .. .. .. .. ¡FTW!

@@christopherdiedrich40 I think it's because they were too bad influences on each other... Layne was already on h, and Mike was too sympathetic with it... they couldn't have two band members on that spiral... the excuse given was that MS couldn't handle touring but the truth, I think was this...

@@christopherdiedrich40 He sold backstage passes to buy drugs when they played Rio. Jerry got pissed off and kicked him out of the band.

It was also said he liked girls who weren't quite old enough to vote and it was drawing too much attention. Jerry didn't want that kind of publicity. Plus the selling passes deal.

Lol. It's ok, I noticed that too. But there are interviews I've seen where Jerry keeps talking over Sean. ;-) They're good.

They settled that with "Dam that river" ;)

Jerry is the one who mostly talks now, it seems. And quite a few interviews from back then. From what I have seen out of the interviews I have watched, no one except for Jerry is really interested in being interviewed. Lots of sarcasm and I don't give a fuck attitude(s). Just like this one with Layne and Mike. Layne looks uncomfortable to begin with, so his answers are sarcastic and humorous. Then, the stupid lady asks about heroin. There are better things to talk about. Too bad the last half of the interview was her asking him about that shit.

Jerry is a dick
