As a heroin addict in recovery, Mark’s book touched a part of my soul that I’ve never taken a close look at before. It really helped me come to terms with a lot of bad things I’ve done in the past, and I feel eternally grateful to Mark for that. May he rest in peace. ❤

"I'm a breakfast cook, that's been singing for a while" If that's not the epitome of humble..

I read Lanegan's memoir. Its fuckin' amazing! Do yourself a favour people. As a big fan of his, I find his music even more compelling than before. It is well written, well-told and a book I could not put down. He is an amazing story teller.

Best memoir ever

Lanegan’s book is one of the best I’ve read, his life and the turmoil he endured, is something else. A must read!

I miss Mark every day. He was a survivor. So well spoken. Intelligent. His solo work and work with other artists after the Trees was always fascinating. I loved his artistry. Shared a beer with him once, at a bar, mid nineties when the Trees passed through the Midwest. I'm about 9 years younger than him, but he gave me the time a day, and was very much like this interview. Just very personable. I think cuz I was trying to keep my shit together and not fan boy out on him helped, lol. We had a conversation just about the recent tour, things he had seen on the road, he asked me what I played, told me to quit music, with a laugh, just a fun talk. The conversation stuck with me for years. He's just a guy you wanted to know the rest of your life. Really fascinating individual. My life proceeded to then be a pretty Bumpy road for awhile, so I always related to people like Mark, John Frusciante, guys who were survivors in the music realm. Still a huge loss to me. He was a one off.

His book is fantastic. Far better than the usual rock biography, it reads like a novel. It’s superb.

"You're an artist, Joe. I'm a breakfast cook." RIP Mark ❤

Mark’s book is unique funny crazy unputdownable and jaw droppingly good. Best book written by a musician ever and I’ve read them all.

Authenticity is what makes an artist great. Mark was and so were that amazing collection of artists he came up with

Highly recommend listening to the audio book version his voice is made for telling stories .

Having listened to his book not knowing that much about him and then going on a deep Lanegan dive, this is the first time I've seen him laugh and have a good time, which makes it all the sadder.

Rest up my brother. Coughing up my heart here. Layne will be elated you made it to Valhalla

His book is so compelling. He does such a great job of telling his story honestly and without ego. It’s so brutal and gritty. The way he describes his drug addiction pulled me in, and you see that opioid drug addiction is an awful full time job that imprisons you. I live in Seattle and I realized that towards the end of his addiction, I could have walked right by him on the street. He was literally a junkie on the street.

The audio book is amazing because you get to hear the voice ! Love you Mark 🖤🥀

Rip mark , underrated great singer

"Da Capo, that's huge one, I mean I've heard of that one" lololol that was an amazing moment.

His book should be in school libraries, kids would never try drugs after reading it.

That memoir will take you down in the dark.

I love this book so much im literally on my 3rd round on audible. I love that he narrates it himself and the stories he tells is unbelievable. What he went through growing up and the stories of him and Layne and Mike Starr and just everything he went through to get herion is mind blowing. I love this story of his life and I highly recommend it. Love to you Mark 🖤

It was a tough tough read. I was literally holding my breath in parts of it. As Layne Staley once said, "nothing hurts the body like dopesick". And it all comes flooding back.

Man, so cool you got this for record

This was a terrific interview. Thank you. RIP Mark x

His book is off the scale fucking amazing , what a read . Buy it .

Godammit I miss Mark.

Great interview Joseph. Amazing book Mark. I couldn't put it down. Brutally honest and eye opening on heroin addict reality.

Amazing memoir!! One of the best if not the best ever written. The replacements book is a close second.

Absolutely very honest, which is what I like to read.. leaves me wanting more

The howling branches

Mark is so humble. Then Joe is trying for cool credits. Nice yin yang

I still cannot believe he has passed away....😭💔He looked so healthy and happy...

Love your humor. Thanks for this man

Started reading it! Totally relate, thanks my past can sometimes haunt me but, it’s freedom!! @MarkLanegan!!

I love his honesty!

One of the best writers of all time! So happens XXX

Just finished his audiobook to learn he died a year to the day I finished the book, loved the book, especially the insight and knowledge of his relationship with layne and kurt

I love this man

Wow, just stumbled across your video, awesome mate from me here in the UK. Marks such an interesting character. Thanks.

mark's laugh at minute 18:15 is everything

Mark❤I Love you.

Love you Mark ❤️

Mark is SO rock n roll🤘😈😉

The last 1 minute is hysterical

I started to read his book the last weekend (right after reading the fourth volume of Knausgard's books) and I'm finding it pretty intense. It has been odd (in a nice way) to watch videos on KZfaq of Screaming Trees' performances after the read. They have acquired a different sense.

FN INCREDIBLE BOOK!

It's jarring at first, but so nice to hear Mark bust a gut laughing

I miss you mark 😢

Excellent interview by Joseph, he asks probing questions but then walks the tightrope when Mark starts to get edgy about the point of the question, Joseph can pivot a bit and keep the interview going. I will definitely read Marks book now. Always a fan of his singing.

Anytime I’m not quite sure what someone’s talking about I now say “that’s huge.....I mean I’ve heard of it”. A joke no one gets unfortunately

Great title ❤❤❤❤Mark

8:45-really wonderful way to look at writing catharsis.

Got into his solo stuff the same time i got the book. Can’t believe i overlooked him but when you’re up against the likes of Staley Cornell and others it’s understandable right?lol

Mark's book fucks "Scar Tissue"and manages to reference it at the same time.Rivetting.

I have family in Akron I avoid in my late 40s.. Sometimes the truth is alienating. But it's also solid company.

I'm a die-hard memoir guy anyway so it's a for sure for me

James joyce irish writer in that vein

……Rest in peace Mark.

there is a danger of being so "pure" that you end up being the screaming cheese you claim your not .... starting @ 0:26 .....tell Bob Dylan that he's not cool for selling his publishing rights for 300 million cause nobody buys albums anymore...the idea is to keep great art or try to keep the quality of it all, from the dimension within, as true to form as possible.....he is truly a great artist but it just proves we all SOMETIMES can't get enough.....

Goat head Hate me - Mustaine is 4 yrs. Older , than Lanagen- they could be brothers, with Mark look in older. The drugs, worn out, an life experiences, is crazy for any Rocker, to not read. Good Cool Stuff- dam I even lived in Seattle, North Gate in 92- 93- when Grunge all started. ✌

Arthur has very obviously not read the book.

Would love to know why he wanted to tell the world that Layne Staley’s girlfriend Demri pulled Mark aside outside a smack house and basically asked him if he wanted to fuck... bearing in mind they never met each other before and and Layne was a good friend of his. Something about Mark’s ego is pretty shit. If that story is true what’s there to gain by saying it?

Who the fcuk is telling this story? They keep interrupting and putting words in Lanegans mouth.

Uh, Jim Morrison published his own book, and he was more rock and roll than any of you.
