Hell of a band.

[@hz0gzq]

Wow, Really needed this from them, as an intense AIC fan. It was the four of them together that created the majic. RIP Layne

[@continuumbend6422]

jerry, dude, you're killing the hell out of that cigar :D

[@jammysau]

i love alice in chains but now my respect has increased for them because even though they feel layne's death was tragic, and so do i, they don't use his death as a reason to get more support, they use their music at least i think they do, lol

[@texas4life88]

I notice every time layne is brought up around Sean, you can clearly see it crushes him. Jerry and the other guys feel comfortable talking about layne, but you can tell Sean feels uncomfortable talking about it. So sad.

[@Gcssdvnkloiutesc]

They weren’t even friends lmfao

You know what I think guys? I wish we all could do something new like in rock and roll so that others won't get so bored being in one band Tamia switch it up sometimes and try people from the outside like me without any offense to anyone I think it would be a great addition 2 Alice in Chains. To be adding another member to the family. Maybe play longer shows with two singers give the fans something really cool. I'm just trying to get in with a great band like you guys because I have so much in my head that Jerry has that sound that makes things come out of me I have some pretty dark twisted things in my head that goes along with fantasy and real life things. I feel like I am a fortune of songs or a gold mine in my head that I'm not promising anything but I know it would be really really cool and good. I just can't sit there and write a song I have to hear a couple of notes and it unjars my head sorry I know this is long and I don't know if that's a word but I'm saying that unjars I also think maybe kiss had a really really great idea about putting the makeup on if someone else passed away or moved on they get another guitar player or a drummer like they did. Nowadays there are so many look-alikes our body form likes I have a body like Layne Staley I was seriously thinking about getting plastic surgery done done look like him I wonder with today's technology can that be done? I'm in it I would do it but don't know if that would cause things to happen with you guys. Like bring up some raw emotions oh whatever. I seriously have not been working I live in my car and I chose to do this it is not anybody's fault. I ran and rave sometimes about society is my fault. I bring everything on to me without thinking sometimes I really practice a lot practice a lot I love you guys. I want to be in with rock and roll I want to form a brotherhood or something with us guys of that time frame. Also where we grew up and how we grew up age makes a difference and the mentality and race of us older guys. It really makes a difference because I identify with you guys. And anybody else who is trying to get in rock and roll I know it's all changing now I like to keep it the way you guys are going with that bit of a dark edge to it I am that person😅 hey you guys I really appreciate what you do. I really hope down the line someday we could all be jamming with each other. I really have an innocent mind I stay out of politics and the world outside and keep to myself and just a few people in passing I say hi too. It's all about everyone kind of standing up for themselves and being brave if there are trying to be hit up or something. I've done a lot of things in my time I've given away a lot of money and now I just cannot do that anymore I ran myself broke.😢 I hope that others will understand that I can't do that. It's too bad sometimes I like to be able to pay for love an hour at a time😅 there are regular people that do that and sell their bodies I'm really really nice and they were always so glad when they met me I don't understand how a person can hit a woman and things like that they are the most beautiful creatures on Earth I absolutely adore and love women that I wish I could be with them all. I see so many pretty women today I wish one would come up and take me home for a while and gets cold in my car😢 hey you guys take care 💕

@jamesthereaper7 *and mike starr!

[@heatherdavie7217]

Jerry sounds like Matthew McConahey

[@fabsilva1119]

Marb Reds... way to go cowboy!

[@infinite_ammo]

how many times do they say "you know"? xD

[@johndoran2095]

+Gabriele Leone so many times that I didn't even notice

[@infinite_ammo]

+John Doran probably I noticed cause english isn't my first language ;-)

[@johndoran2095]

ah...makes sense :)

[@neilpeartspurplenose8739]

Layne used to do the same thing, these guys were definitely a gang.

[@noahkb80]

Was it necessary to break this up this much?

[@louisewitch7072]

I liked it

[@elip1ayz740]

why was Layne depressed ???

[@masteroflanguages4572]

It's not that simple to explain. Depression is a mental illness.

[@OscarOffTheCuff]

What a stupid question

[@neilpeartspurplenose8739]

I would guess the impetus was a shitty childhood, then everything else just piled on top of that. Add in a severe addiction to a deadly, seductive hard drug, the pressures and temptations of fame, and you've got yourself quite the problem.

[@smkxodnwbwkdns8369]

He wasn’t depressed. Maybe the last few years of his life, but he was a happy, fun, and light-hearted person. It’s just depressed people latch onto this band and as depression is a kind of narcissism and self-absorption, they see layne out front extremely talented and charming and flatter themselves by seeing something in common with him.

[@smkxodnwbwkdns8369]

@@OscarOffTheCuff stay self-absorbed mr. Depression

[@elip1ayz740]

he would still be alive if them drugs haven't killed him! Pearl jam and Alice and chains. made a song together
