  • Great song. Layne of course killed it, shiny eyes with pupils DILATED and all!!

  • No one can get over that much range of voice!

    R.I.P man! we miss you and we'll never forget you

  • what a stud....thats all i have to say

  • despite evrything...yes, he was really a very beautiful man. but this video is so sad...too opened eyes, strange eyes. Do you think the mark on his left hand was a puncture?

  • @giuliana2610 the signs you see is the high of coke or crack not H. he probably mix h with coke or crack or both. I notice the mark on the hands. it could be one inflammed. maybe he was too high and forgot to cover it with gloves or something like he always used to do. he was very cautious with that.

  • Layne Staley commanded the living shit outta the microphone the whole damn time during this whole performance! With such ease and grace...he seems to not care that he's rocking the fuck outta that joint. And as always,what an amazing voice! A voice truly unique and different. A voice set aside from the rest. Really? Who can sing like Layne?

  • I agree with 12inchvertical, at this point the drugs were starting to take their toll, he was probably feeling a like another hit

  • whats the show at 1:12

  • This might be my new favorite live Layne performance (although the Jools Holland Would? is tough to beat!)

  • he appears to have a big puncture mark on his one bare hand... the era of constant glove wearing was bearing down on layne... poor guy. As great as he looks here he probably felt pretty awful

  • The best voice ever.No one could even come close in my opinion.

  • @JAYMAN21122004  I Agree with this statement completely

  • PLEASE JOIN THIS NEW GROUP ON FACEBOOK ..... Mad Alice ~ Mad Season & Alice in Chains \m/

  • I agree with jeanbean... miss the 90s so...

  • Everything about this song screams Layne Staley.....the words are HOT and SEXY , the music BURNS and Layne's voice soothes my soul... god how i miss you Layne.... RIP

  • cool

  • He was a GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • I wish it was the fucking 90s again i hate ht4 new millenium

  • @jeanbean43 A FUCKING MEN!

    

  • Such a gifted singer.  Beautiful man. RIP.

  • Such a gifted singer. And such a beautiful man.

  • itunes

  • Where can I download the whole version of this song at? Anyone knows?

  • Layne is stoned as hell here.

  • @Seplia81 Yeah he is, he's holding onto his mic for dear life.

  • @Boganator4 where can i download this song at?

  • wow  were did u find this ,i love it!!!

  • Love that signature "Layne" side to side headbanging.

  • @mjpanek68 Haha I've started doing that when I listen to music without meaning to

  • @mjpanek68 It's not that he's with the music, it's that he has Turrets. He can't help banging his head back and fourth. ( ;

  • @Boganator4 You're crazy !!! He did NOT have turrets. LMAO !!!

  • @mjpanek68 I know, it's just a joke. Layne Staley rocks.

  • oh hes so damn sexy

  • Layne =King-=GOD!

  • I've barely seen Layne in 1994. He looks a little different. Kinda like a mix of 93 & 95 looks great though.

  • awsome singer and sexy motherfucker

  • you know i battle fucking heroin like a motherfucker, i dont know the out come but i want to be known as the talented good person i am instead of a junkie rip layne

  • Dam, everything Layne puts his voice in is incredible!!

  • elel e foda!

  • he was sexy as hell and didn't even know it

  • @krebsfreakshow TRUE!

  • Is there any way I can get a copy of this clip?

  • @socalartgal google free youtubetomp3 converter

  • @Twiiggyman Thanks Dude!

  • I love this sexy, nasty dirty song sung by the super hot gyrating Layne Staley....Is this available to purchase????????? I want I want!

  • There;s just something about smokey dark bars and fog that adds to music like this.

  • bringing sexy back

  • okay....i'm confused.....was layne in this band or what?

  • @razzlefan4life No, just a guest vocalist.

  • @razzlefan4life nope, just contributed to this song

  • love your voice & the way you sing with so much emotion, such an inspiration, your very missed.

  • just so unfair feel so sad watching him .......makes me wonder if his girl friend hadnt dyed in 1996.. would Layne still be here..... he just gave up after she died... he loved her so much and had had nothing to fight for... wish he knew how much we loved him... loved his music and everything he did inside and out Alice in chains.

    i love all Alice in chains.... everything........

  • @bloodtearsej actually that woman, Demri, left him in 1994. she broke up their engagement and relationship. why? nobody says. the song Lifeless Dead is about her. she was the reason why you see him in pics and vids so depressed, lonely, painful, etc from 1994. many songs of the mad Season album Above is related to the situation of her leaving him. she broke his heart two years before her death.I don't get it, why she would left a man with a such beautiful, noble soul.to me an idiot

  • @Kjirkoh ...about Demri:give me some time to translate and search all the interviews I've reed; I'll send. However, they left each other (both?), and the first reason was the fuckin' drug, as always. Then,he betrayed her during tours. but everybody says they love each other, and Layne was next to her until she died.They were both guilty, to me

  • @Kjirkoh

    in her defense...she knew him, and knew him day to day, whereas you have no idea what he was like.

  • sleze is a band that layne was in in the 80s

  • @dzr23 Sleze was Alice N' Chains, I think. Then, as you probably know, it went on to be alice in chains.

  • @ThePivotXtreme Sleze was Staley's band in high school or something, it has nothing to do with Alice In Chains, aside from Layne's involvement.

  • ok 74 days clean and why...fuck layne u were somebody im, nothing if i could trade my life for yours i would..

  • @jeanbean43

    You are a valuable human being, irreplaceable.

  • awesome song

  • The rhythm section of Second Coming - Johnny Bacolas and James Bergstrom - also played Layne's previous band Alice N' Chainz.

  • isnt his previous band called sleeze.. i have his over easy and super sleezy cd he released

  • Sleze was what they called themselves before they became Alice N' Chainz.

  • u can tell this is before he dissappred towards the end he looked so bad.. sad rip gone but not forgotten

  • yea like 2 years before

  • Great song! Layne could turn any song into a great song!

  • just noticed he's wearing my jacket, I forgot he borrowed it that night. We were at my place before the show doing coke with mariner mary then took a cab to the show. he was so high..

  • is this the show with nina hagen?

  • @bprana7 no brian, this was at the fenix, the show with nina was in bell town. Were you with us that night? Layne and I were hanging out in ninas dressing room and security kicked us out. I was thinking you were there too.

  • Layne and Scott Weiland were similar in some ways , trying to mix it up with beats . Check out Scotts 12 bar blues

  • Layne's thinking tell me what the next line is.

  • He did some cool sh$t with Anne Wilson. Check out "Ring Them Bells".

  • he sounds sooo different from aic voice than this,it cool,too bad he died he could of shook the world with his badass voice singing different songs and music

  • Hmmm, tis kinda dirty and sexy 'bout the song... it shows a totally different side of Layne... a far from what we've seen him with AIC or Madseason!! I think I like it!!^_^

  • This sounds like new wave...

  • @LadyInChains6702 i think i love it!

  • layne made the song,i love him so much!!!

  • a whispery cat in a burgandy hat..

  • Layne was the best. Check out "Ring them Bells" with Ann Wilson.

  • erte

  • happy birthday Layne!!!

  • i always come back to this song I love layne always will....no other man will come close ..my life for you Layne!

  • yup im a necromancing slave from the sky.

  • he was an amazing man, but please jeanbean, get a life. don't talk like that about a legendary person.

  • i realize im a bit obsessive and i am trying to get alife and everything i say about him is of the most upmost respect, finally from what ive read and heard , he would love the sick twist of necro-fucking peace

  • I think hes confused and forgot the lyrics lol, still awesome tho

  • even songs that layne screws up are 10000000000000000000 times better than the assclowns who call themselves singers today...

  • @jeanbean43 did he forget the words, he looked high

  • i would give my life and sell my soul for a sweet kiss of those lips..

  • man 3:32 the close up on THOSE LIPS!!!! ahhhhhh

  • he was absolutely beautiful thats why im single no man i meet does it for me..i fantasize about him hes my fantasy lover...yes im obsessed..i will see him soon

  • i freaking love layne i was sad to see all the media reaponse for michael jacksons passing and i thought if only they could do this to layne michael was a pedofile the only thing layne ever did wrong was drugs its just sad :( rip layne forever

  • don't even compare being pedophile and being a drug user. drug use is a personal choice and only harms the person that uses drugs and no one else. nobody can blame Layne for it, it's nobody's business.

    btw, it is not sure that M.J. was a pedophile.

  • are you fucking kidding me, drug use only harms the person who does the drugs? I love people who think inflicting damage to yourself harms no one else. You think a kid growing up with crackhead parents isnt harmed by that? You think when somone OD's no ones harmed by that? man sorry but those kinda comments really piss me off.

  • anyway... it is not important how media treat MJ or someone else. i know lots of people who profoundly love and respect Layne and adore his talents. so we shouldn't care whether some hypocrite journalist write an article or whatever. today they adore you, tomorrow they blame you, the day after tomorrow they forget about you. superficial things like that.

  • layne destroys god

  • Layne looks really 50's rock 'n' roll here lol

  • Comment removed

  • I friggin love this man... Just looking at him makes me smile.... I miss him so much. he was so friggin talented,, Im just glad his suffering is over... But oh man, what a piece of eye candy he was... THOSE LIPS!

  • yep that's right. he was gifted as hell. and a handsome man too.

  • i don't know man, he looks all there to me

  • According to the book Grunge is Dead, Layne and Johnny, the bass player for Second Coming, were not only roommates for a long period, but also bandmates back when the band was called Alice N' Chainz.

  • I heard Layne and Maxi did not get along and thats why he stopped working with Second Coming.

  • yea. he pretty much just dissliked them altogetehr for somethin the lead singer said (i think) but dont quote me on that

  • Killer video! thanks for posting!

  • I bet he slammed heroin on his right hand and he wore a glove to cover the track marks...

  • ein pherd stvi ist layne staley unt AIC moeshtin zee machen essen!!

  • I really don't care for the (bad) comments. Layne is Layne and he is AWESOME <3

  • he was just tooooo cool.

  • long live layne staley. greatest vocalist to live...

    R.I.P.

  • He was all fucked up on heroin by this point. Such a sad end

  • I LOVE THIS MAN!!

    KISSES & HUGS

  • oh man he totally forgot the first vrs and the band kept going and he missed the chorus haha.. still a god tho

  • Layne's singing in this song reminds me a tiny bit of David Bowie.

  • yeah like bowie, but actually GOOD.

  • I love Layne and I love this song!

  • Layne Staley = GOD

  • of rock in the 90's.

  • period...

  • What I'd give for a copy of this...

  • i'll send you a copy of it for your left testicle (or ovary) ?

  • You've got yourself a deal!.

  • i got the studio version on my ipod

  • He was telling him the lyrics. Layne would occassionally miss the "in" when this song was performed live and Maxi was trying to get him caught up.

  • This is a early version of Second Coming with that singer, I believe he wrote the lyrics but Layne was buds with two guys from a former band called "Sleaze" Second Coming still plays to this day but have other projects you might want to check out,

    "Crying spell band"

    "Point Defiance band"

  • I thought that Layne wrote the lyrics to this song, so why would the guy need to tell him them?

  • Nah, he was just the singer.

  • Layne is the missing link to Metal today.. God rest his soul..

  • that guy was telling him the lyrics to the song.. pay attention

  • I love Layne's sweet cherry lips

  • oh really

  • I love how Layne just acts like that guy isn't whispering in his ear while he's trying to sing!

  • why is the shot so close to his face

  • He's not telling him the lyrics just using pseudo homo-erotica as a selling point.

  • damn right, he was a true artist and by himself he would be amazing... didn't matter who he played with.... second coming tried to use this song as a launching pad, but everyone knows its layne that makes this good, not the band

  • wanna hit? have Layne sing it for you!

  • I miss you layne

  • it wasn't the drugs so much as the personal loss...drugs start as an escape but when life gets fucking ugly, drugs become an out from the pain of loss...of friends and loves...dig.

  • so very true

  • I miss Layne like every single day...I wish the drugs hadn't taken him...I wish he were still around...

  • i love the way he dances. ive heard he wrote the lyrics to this song when he was 15? wow he started writing at a pretty young age. this song is pretty awesome.

  • Layne had the prettiest eyes ever and OMG was so hott and talented..truly one in a million forever missed on earth but never forgotten rest in peace angry angel!!

  • I just can't get enough of Layne. He was a chameleon and could sing with any band and fit like a glove. RIP LTS, you are missed.

  • he didn't till almost 8 years later, come on people Layne was a soldier, loneliness is not a phase

  • Is this the only song Layne Staley did with Second Coming? I love this song and want to know if there's more I can listen to :)

  • I have a live version of this on my account

  • If its time to die theres nothing you can do

  • I think he still have "the voice"...he recorded with Mad Season after 1994....

    RIP Layne

  • I love how even though he was a huge star he still played with an unknown band in a little Seattle club.

  • a whispery cat in a burgundy hat i told her of a race that would die

  • I LOVE YOU LAYNE.

  • Layne Staley. Now there's the only man I'd ever want to make love to. It would havve been wild. rip my main man =)

  • i got the cd version and hes on that

  • This is bad ass

  • OMG! This is great. I just saw a lame version video of this song where I couldn't bearely see a thing. Layne sings so fine and he's so damn hot dancing! I wish I were that guy whispering in his ear.

  • unfuckingbelievable! this is so goddamn sexy!

    Really wana Noo! Sooo Bad!

  • yea layney, dance for us!

  • It seems like if you ever want to make a hit song all you have to do is have Layne sing it. I've yet to hear anything he sings suck.

  • god dam this would be such a good song if they went in the studio and recorded it

  • studio version is now available on itunes!
