Number one is my favorite or at least for man in the box love performance from Layne. Sidenote that is random as a recovering heroin/cocaine addict as well as Layne and Matt (RIP) this band has helped me get through so much depression and bs through my teen years and in adulthood. My son is named Layne his middle name is Alexander. I love Alice in Chains dearly and adore Layne Staley and I am thankful to be alive in the generation I am too have grown up and listened to such a once in a life time band. Music transcends us and helps connect people. It's amazing how u can listen to songs and follow someone's career and it feels like you actually met that individual before. I wish I could of seen them live. Its a tragedy of what happened to him but, the disease of addiction is cunning and baffling. It's nothing but 'jails, institutions and death'. Anyways thank you for your research and great videos keep up the great work!

[@CrazySinging]

Man, that’s beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Been getting into AiC only recently and Layne’s story breaks my heart quite a lot. It’s my pleasure to make videos on his incredible voice. So glad you like them

[@samlayne389]

@@CrazySinging it's heart breaking definitely. I try to look at it that yes he's gone but, definitely not forgotten! He has many fans and was a true legend as a musician. I appreciate the reply that means alot. I hope you and your have a great day! And that's so cool u just recently discovered the band but are such a big fan already 😀

[@miajc6606]

Sorry for sounding dumb, but who are you referring to (Matt)? And yes, music is literally someone’s biography. You can trace musicians’ and artists’ lives through their creations. It’s fascinating to know that AiC helped you get through addiction and life struggles; it truly is that great.

[@Vivianblue.]

Noone compares to Layne. Brilliantly talented and sorely missed.

[@tngrrl73]

I'll never get over his, Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington or Scott Weiland's deaths. But, Layne is the one I never got to experience live, sharing the same oxygen. Brutal.

[@chumugi1130]

Hes precious man, sad hes now passed away, i am 18 years old only 2004 born, but i love 90's grunge era, specially this top1 alice in chains, next Nirvana, then Stone Temple Pilots,, i Praise them and idolized but all of my favorite and and artist are now hiatus or disbanded, or dead 😌

I live in Seattle and have for the last 40 years. I watched them grow and then I watched them die. Some of the happiest and saddest days of my life. RIP Layne you are loved.

[@miajc6606]

I’ve always wondered, do you, as a Seattleite, think the whole “Seattle Sound” is a major part of Washington’s culture?

[@litawells4264]

@@miajc6606 Yes! Even today those bands are big, and everyone knows who they are, we know their songs, we know stories of their personal lives, we know how they lived, we know how they died. Everybody young and old knows who Layne Staley is. I have 4 Daughter's ages 44, twins that are 31, and my youngest is 29, I am 67 years old we all love Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Candlebox, Mudnoney, Screaming Trees, Temple of the Dog, and Mad Season. My point is none of these bands exist anymore except AIC, but my girls listen to them everyday, it's just apart of life here. I hope I have answered your question. I'm sure I listed some bands you have never heard of, cause unless you live here you probably wouldn't know who they are, Candlebox is one of my favorite Seattle bands check out some of their music I think you will love it. Here's a list, Change, Cover Me, Rain, (Simple Lessons), is my personal favorite, He Calls Home, YOU, Don't You,10,000 Horses, and Arrow. I know it's a lot of songs but they put out 7 albums. There is so much more I could tell you, but you probably have already stopped reading this. RIP Layne, Chris, Mike, Kurt, and Andrew.

[@miajc6606]

@@litawells4264 wow thank you for allowing me a glimpse at this interesting part of Seattle :) I’ve heard of all the bands you listed, but I’m not into Screaming Trees, Mudhoney, or Candlebox simply because I’ve never taken the time to explore their discographies. Thank you for the song suggestions! I wish I lived in Washington because here in Texas all youngsters my age (teenagers) don’t have a clue about good music 😢 I’m the only outlier who is a major fan of rock music in general.

[@litawells8803]

No one can sing like him; no one can copy him. The most incredible vocalist to leave such a legacy that everyone wants to imitate. That should say something right there:

There is literally not a single impressive vocal in this video

[@acidrazor66]

thank u so much for another Layne vid! even though we always praise him so much, I feel like it’s never enough talking about not only his insane vocal power but also about his beautiful legacy and creativity

[@michaelbartholomew8155]

Man in the Box is incredibly hard to sing. My old band covered it once acoustically. I was not ready! It was horrible. The band was good but my vocals were not. The verse parts were fine, but once the chorus hit...no way was I ready. Layne had incredible power and range.

[@darcfase2o79]

Same thing happened to me. Verses were fine but when the chorus hit my voice couldn’t get close. And when it did I couldn’t hold the note.

[@stephenvierling2287]

He makes the chorus of Rain When I Die sound so effortless.

[@neeko33harlow4]

My favorite song by him besides Nutshell

[@MoosicDude]

You're sleeping on 'I Can't Remember' from the Facelift album. He does this epic, beautiful chorus line in his chest register and switches flawlessly to his head voice to finish it with a falsetto. It's not his highest note, but the control was just incredible.

[@mikemaffei9750]

Absolutely! That has haunted me since the first time I heard it! Great mention!

[@43bumpy]

Thing is Layne makes seems so effortless and natural to him. What an incredibly gifted singer. I miss his him so much.

[@rainingwhenidie]

I would KILL to hear him live, but he died before I was born. I'm glad there's so many live moments though, he's just so incredible and even though I have no intentions of becoming a professional musician, AIC inspires me to wanna be a better singer. I used to not be a fan of rough vocals, but I've grown out of that and I'm really glad I did since I can enjoy the music now. His voice really is one of a kind and even though I didn't even exist during his lifetime, I miss him. Rest in peace, Layne, and thanks for changing my life. Idk if I believe in heaven anymore but I hope you're happy there 💜

[@alanmeyer2699]

That live performance of bleed the freak is probably my favorite live aic songs.

[@stefaniecarter3721]

[@SimeonKenney]

i read somewhere that he hit a G#5 and an F#5 in the song I Can't Remember off of Facelift. apparently, those notes are extremely impressive for a male vocalist to pull off, and to hit with such power like Layne could. checked out a live vid of it a while back, most impressive live vocals I've ever heard!

Without a doubt These are great! BUT I THINK YOU ARE FORGETTING THE SINGLE GREATEST MOMENT IN HIS VOCAL CAREER. The live performance in Dallas of QUEEN OF THE RODEO. He hits a note so high and flawlessly right when the faster tempo kicks in. Better than anything on any of their records. My opinion though. Definitely check it out

Don't forget "Love hate love".
