[@jondubb35]

This was during a very brief period where Layne wasn't using H. You can see it in his face. He had gained some weight, he looked good/healthy. If only he could've stayed this way.

[@EricJh21690]

Such a shame man..you could tell he badly wanted to be done with the addiction.. but it's grip was too strong and losing his girl was the final nail in the coffin. I had my own struggles with opiates and I've been clean/on suboxone for 3 and a half years (started to ween off finally)...and layne's music was a huge part of my life before but especially during my addiction and still is after. Wish he could've found his way out of it and wish I could thank him for how much his music has helped me and so many other people.

[@jondubb35]

+EricJh21690 I've had severe struggles with opiates myself and it's not easy to kick. I wish you luck and may you stay the course!

[@venturawoods1314]

jondubb35 wasn't using? He's clearly loaded here. He's obviously high on heroin here, because that was Layne's 'thing'. He wasn't only high here, he was in terrible condition. If you can't hear it in his voice then I don't think you've seen anyone who takes large amounts of opiates. He's only 25 here, but he didn't sleep, he didn't eat, he didn't take care of himself at all. He started covering his hands an losing teeth just over a year later.

[@jondubb35]

Ventura Woods definitely not H. He's probably stoned and/or maybe a little drunk.

So amazing now in 2019 there are so many artists talking about him the same way, musicians now are saying HE is their idol and how proud of what HE has done and in such a short time.

I love the low key sarcasm Layne uses at the beginning about Just One Fix: “I’m trying to figure out what the hell he's talking about, but I think I got a pretty good grasp on it.” As he giggled a little, lol I love him

[@Monchi2006]

LoL that part went over my head

[@Loveandfrenchfries]

Thank you for posting this interview. When I need my fix of Layne just talking and being his sweet self, this is where I come. If this had been on CD or VHS it would be so worn out by this point it would be unplayable. I enjoy as always his soft spoken manner. And, sorry if this is harsh, but to all the ignorant people saying he sounds quite because he was so high, get a life. Layne was always soft spoken. If you go back to his early interviews, before H ever entered the picture, he was soft spoken then as well. Layne was one of those people who was very humble and shy. When he spoke, he put a lot of thought into the words before he said them. He was extremely intelligent. I hate that even now, 15 years after we have lost him, people are still so intent on fixating on his struggle with addiction. Can't we just one time enjoy him as a person? He was a human being like all of us with his own thoughts, personality, and feelings. When people, even on KZbin comments and even after all this time, have to continually bring up drugs--you are acting no better than the industry and the journalists who beat this poor guy down and quite possibly made it even harder for him to get better. If I was called a junkie everyday no matter what I did, whether I was sober or not, there might be a time where I would say #$_& it and just keep using. The old adage that if I am going to be accused anyway then i may as well partake. IDK. It just upsets me that, now, after we have lost him rude things still have to be said. So many people do not know crap about his story because if you did you wouldn't post that stuff. Some of us have done loads of research and found out all we can about this great person. We know that he wasn't always high, that he was on Methadone maintenance (accounts for weight gain at times), and that he wanted to be sober. If you have never been an addict of anything, let one H, you have no idea how hard it is to not only stop but stay clean. Staying clean is the hardest part. And the fear of withdrawal is enough to keep anyone using. Once you fall off the wagon, you know you have to go through the hell of withdrawal all over again. For some people, that thought is too much to handle so they continue to use and it becomes a cycle. I am guessing if any of you are on here, you are a fan of him, so why then bring all the BS? Let's just celebrate who he was and the talent he brought to the world. In his own words, he said he didn't want to be known for his mistakes but rather for what he brought to this world. Let's honor that for him. He would be 50 this August. If you have interest, the yearly Birthday Celebration and rememberence show is at the Moore this year on August 19. I hope those of you than can go will. All the proceeds are donated by Nancy to help addicts. It's for a great cause and we get to honor and remember this gentle man with the voice of an angel.

I too miss him and love him soo very much. My eyes are welling up with tears because I just found out Chris Cornell committed suicide. So now, Eddie Vedder alone survives...

[@lauramalizia9636]

And Eddie was even more devistated when trying to sing black for him when he dedicated to him at a pearl jam concert shortly after. Apparently he and Chris were neighbors before becoming good friends and when they did temple of the dog, Chris felt Eddie had it in him to take in the late Andrew Wood's bandmates from mother love bone and become successful as pearl jam..

Such a gentle, sweet, quiet man. Always so nice to everybody. Rest in peace, Layne, you are hugely missed

[@Rotttman]

This was probably my favorite Layne "look"

[@m.4623]

Layne, looked so Healthy! Very Handsome man, and so Genuine! 💋

[@criskatan]

Wow, I didn't know that they censored "Rooster", in the U.S.!!

[@lnewman5808]

His little laugh after he talks about how he doesn't like snakes and making videos is sooooo adorable!!

[@GalaxyIsADork]

He looked sober to me😔 I mean just the way he's talking and he did look like he gained a little weight so he looked sober here to me in my eyes😔

[@tanjicca]

Beautiful, beautiful find. Just speechless in the face of his humor and sweetness. There has been a 30 seconds upload of this on KZbin so far, but this is just a mindblowing material right there. Bless you for uploading this, now we know more about his taste in music and it was so versatile! One can never get imune against Layne no matter how long one´s been a fan.

[@Mordie355]

When he said “hey this is layne from Alice In Chains and you’re watching ..” I half expected him to say “and you’re watching Disney channel” lol sending love to laynes family and friends, he is dearly missed!

[@hillevii88]

[@josecano9210]

2:12 hmm did Layne ever play basketball, eat pancakes and purify himself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka

[@nataliemousseau2491]

my mom loves layne!

[@lizbabe28]

probably the healthiest I've seen him. Looks great...even gained some weight. Damn.

[@JCW58]

Layne got his voice power back some time after Dirt, then the maturity became noticeable. He cleaned up from heroin during Lollapalooza, then started using again on and off. He then started in October 1993 and didn't stop until January 1994. I mean it is possible that he lost a couple of teeth. But I also noticed the difference in his face when his using heroin. It becomes sunken and there is a lot of teeth grinding. So that is also a possible explanation on why he sounds different sometimes.

[@irinairinka6915]

Yeah he lost teeth. It's even notisable here that his teeth aren't in the best shape,like when you compare them to 90-91, the Moore. The Unplugged sounds the way it does in a big way because he makes it a point not to show teeth. I've been there,I know the shapes you make, the faces, the closed mouth smile. It's a shame,no doubt about at,and then we would not have those vulnerable,eary, haunting performances if not for his pain. Grateful for having him at all. He was a gift to the world.

[@TheStepmonkey]

Nah, Layne's voice was always in its prime. He just decided to stop singing because of his addiction.
