@@criskatan have you even listened to the album? Majority of the songs are a story about addiction and layne’s lyrics are about his struggles. With junk head Layne said in an interview it was originally a pro heroin song when he wrote the lyrics years prior but when they put it to music it wasn’t. Also listen to Mad Season which Layne Staley is in, a band that was started by Mike mccready with his friends in rehab. A lot of their songs are connected to drug addiction. These songs from AIC and Mad Season help addicts feel like their not alone with what they are going through so if anything it helps people get clean. And if you need proof of that Layne Staleys mom gets letters and e-mails from people all the time about how his music helped them kick heroin.

I also like how he goes, "And I do it a lot... ...thanks a lot." I always felt like that was on purpose. Even when he was sickly and nodding off in between songs, he still had a goddamn witty and on-point sense of humor. It really is a fucking bummer that such an amazing generation of music and outreach-- the late '80s/early-mid '90s saw so many talents fall wayward to drug use or self-abuse, and so many of them unexpectedly-- or inevitably lost the war. I mean... there are so many monumental bands that broke out in the '90s (even if they had begun in the '80s) that lost key figures at high parts of their sucess. And then there's a guy like Weiland who was a walking ticket to see the grim reaper half of the time and probably outlived what I expected. Cornell shocked the fuck oiut of me. But at the end of the day, so many more on top of that including Layne.... For such a fantastic period in time and in music with all of these bands when they were going at once, it's a fucking shame how many of them ended in similar fashion (or went on to form reincarnations and stuff). I still kick myself for passing up some gold chances to see some of these bands with their core lineups just figuring, oh, I'll catch them the next time and then there was no next time.... STP in the Windy City being one big one I really regret skipping even though I had tickets to it and lived 2 blocks from the venue. Years later I found out that it was the only STP show to be recorded and released officially on DVD (maybe not now, but as of then). Scott sounds great during it, crowd participation is fantastic, the venue is intimate and has good sound (from my past experiences there), and it was 2011 or 2012 I believe, not too long before he was fired or whatever again (for the final time). I still regret not making the trek back towards my area and catching the gig. I have a lot of similar stories I almost went on a tangent about, buit at the same time, I've lucked into seeing bands that I never thought I'd get to see or caught some musicians at the right time, as they would go on to have untimely deaths that were more unexpected than say, the entire '90s grunge movement basically in the end of things. Cantrell is the godfather at this point as far as I'm concerned.... part of the reason I finally have accepted AIC as they are now is because he still writes some wicked riffs amd melodies, and Duvall can harmonize damn well. It's not Layne, but it's better than trying to enjoy one of those AI Layne things, which bother me. I recently rediscovered Disintegration Trip which I found compliments of a used CD bin store where a CD cost me a combined .99c-$2.75ish right when mp3s were killing CDs off and vinyl hadn't made its comeback yet). I figured if I can listen to Jerry's solo work, loved all of his songwriting and guitar riffs on old AIC, and considered him as important as Layne to the band all along, then why can't I at least give this one reincarnation a shot? And I fell in love with Black Gives Way to Blue once I finally listened to more than just Your Decision {(the song that convinced me that I might actually really enjoy this-- also was shockingly pleased to hear Elton John contributed!)... I'll have to check out some other new stuff eventually but can say I'm cool with their current gig, and would love to see them live with Duvall. I passed up 3 free tickets to see Jerry at the Rave in MIL awhile back and regret it, but wasn't sure how I'd get there. AIC has played the Aragon, still a fun place for a band like that, and unlike some other shows that wind up at Wrigley or smoething, they're actually affordable. Money status means nothing to me.... except when I'm too broke to see any live shoooows..... All of the bands I used to see at theaters and ballroom-type venues that were not Wrigley Field or the freaking All-State Arena are big ones, or random pavillion centers (where Jerry is playing this fall, for example)...and in big lineups w/ other acts from their era, usually with diff. lineups as well. I feel like the best deal in Chicago probably is Riot Fest until it eventually reaches Lolla-esque ticket prices as it continues to err away from its punk roots, booking bigger bands if given the chance to increase the draw- and thus, revenue {well...duh... and, it hasn't been an "all-exclusive" punk festival really since about 2011ish anyhow...that's why they're still able to do it each year without raising tix to lolla prices; they've just raised the food and everything else about that high). I went last year, and for what it's worth, the overall cost of my Day 1 pass was probably hundreds of dollars less than what a ticket at any venue they would be likely to play in Chicago (Wrigley is honestly the most plausible). At RF, I was standing room the entire time, and not very far from the stage if only a bit to the right (and by the end of the show, we were even closer due to movement). They played one of the loudest shows (for an outdoor concert) I've ever heard (and *felt*... Josh fucking Freese, man). They played for about 2 hours and an extra 15-25 mins to boot whjen factoring in banter, some short covers, and songs that weren't on the srt list we saw (some of which crowd members blurted out and they honored). But the point is, they played what would be more than a ful set or the equivolent to one (this is after the Breeders just killed it, and I don't care if RF is all-punk or not if the affordability to see multiple good acts, and the good acts both remain). My respect for the Foo Fihters as more than just Dave Grohl's band grew a lot, back to what it was when I dug them in the '90s. But the chances of me ever seeing them live again are slim-to-nil due to how much it would cost unless it was at a festival again, and they won't play RF twice... Lolla is already out of my price-range; I haven't been to that one in almost 20 yrs anyway. But now I'm just rambling about Chicago and how the price of air costs something. Everything is absolutely insane in cook county. Hell, I'm not even a smoker but know from having to buy them daily for one... w/ tax two packs are $28 at 7-11 here. It is fucked up. But the venues we've popularized for a certain model of band has caused them to just flock there. FFS even Dinosaur Jr. is playing Chicago this fall.... at Wrigley Field in September. I saw them at RF, for example, but they had a 30 minute set that year I think. I've seen them at a lot of other smaller venues. Shocked to see them at Wrigley.... even if everyone is playing there now. Bummed me out. I remember when they just hosted Jimmy Buffet and Police reunions, and maybe Billy Joel and Eddie Vedder. I gotta get out of this city sooner than later before it eats all of my interests alive.... Cubs games in themselves aren't even affordable anymore.... that's the cherry on the top of the Wrigley Field fuckery.

I’ve taken opioids, amphetamine and benzodiazepines. At first they make you very motivated, and help you do amazing things. Then your body adjusts to them. Then you need to take them, to not feel like crap. Then you can barely do anything. I’ve stopped taking amphetamine, and now just stabilising, after a few months. My chronic pain gets too bad, to stop opioids. Benzodiazepines are very hard to stop. But at least I can semi-function now. I’ll probably be on opioids and benzodiazepines for life.

Honestly too, the best vocalists do not play an instrument while singing. He can really focus not just on the timing and notes, but he can think deep and conjure up those dark feelings/howls. When you play guitar, half the time you are just “phoning in” your vocals. And you’re right, the (terrible) emotions he conjures are better than most professional singers even, because he’s not obsessed about “high notes” and perfect this and that. He has an ear, so the rest is spent on pure emotion. But unfortunately, He never faced down addiction. That would have made for great music perhaps. Or not. But we’d rather have him around. Imagine if Layne found Christ and sang about the tortured Christ?! He could have a direction for his suffering while quitting drugs. But people think Jesus is boring. Jesus was more tortured than any artist, more righteous than any great punk, even Strummer. And He died an actual most righteous early death for His radical “expressions” (of God). THAT is how to live out true radicalism. Become like Christ.

And not sure why the Beatles were randomly brought up here, but anyone with a "The Beatles suck!" hot take should probably have a good look at themselves in the mirror 😅

So eloquently put & you're SO absolutely right, in my Opinion!! I love Layne Staley R.I.P. I have since the 1st time I saw them when I was 17~ in "88" & I still do. My all time favorite band the original AIC. And Layne Staley is in my opinion the best male vocalist of rock, again this is............ " My Opinion "

You said it better than I could have. I have listened to maybe 30 seconds of the first song that they released with the 'new' singer (who isn't new anymore, obviously) and shut it off. No disrespect whatsoever intended to Jerry or Sean, but it's just a different band now without Layne or Mike. I would probably love Jerry's solo work, and should check it out at some point, but as for AIC - I just kinda choose to remember this band the way they ought to be in my opinion. The original band, the one who morphed their name from Alice 'N Chains to Alice In Chains.. RIP Layne, Mike, Chris, Andy, Scott, and Kurt. Music will never be like this again.

Everyone who stumbles across his videos is like HOLY SHIT IT'S LAYNE REINCARNATED! I know I freaked when I first heard him. Check him out - he has an AIC tribute band called FACELIFT. He just started a new original band called CHOUT. Both of his bands KICK ASS!! #BrendanMaierFacelift #Chout

Also how the hell do they play that bass and guitar so excellently like that while throwing their heads around??? It’s insane to me how much control and talent/skill they have. So flawless and powerful, it’s unreal. This band is inspiring me like no band ever has before. RIP Layne and Mike
