met layne back in late 92. seemed to take an instant likin to my mississippi accent.talked and drank for a while.laughed about mississippi and country life.seemed to be having fun. wish i could have stayed in touch w/him (before cell phones)mike mcready is a bad ass guitarist!! the gell of this band is bad ass!!
Whether or not this is like Alice in Chains or completely different, I think people miss the whole point. They are a bunch of talented musicians and artists who absolutely love playing together, be it in Alice in Chains, Mad Season, Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog, Brad, Screaming Trees or whatever carnation it was or still is created. Its something that will always be with me and something that has touched me as a musician is the scene they've created. Past and present
mad season and aic are totally different, the lyrical content might have similar topics but its what was going on in his head, u tink u get another band and start tinking different????
@555julianfairbanks please get cancer u asshole. not only r u a douche but a fucking racist ive seen ur comments on black comedian videos and they are fucked up u piece of shit u should have been an abortion.
layne was the fuckin shit.... mad season is fucking awesome and i believe so was everything layne touched..... AIC fucking rules and so does Mad season
I'm not covering any new ground in regards to Layne, but anyone who can sound this good live , better than the studio version... Perhaps the most unique rock voice ever.
i lived with him 1997 till 98 in Seattle above the Rainbow bar. The last year of Alice and Chains I would stand stage right on the speaker and dance 4layne
i lived with him 1997 till 98 in Seattle above the Rainbow bar. The last year of Alice and Chains I would stand stage right on the speaker and dance with my best friend Elizabeth..
What I never got was that Mad Season was an extension from AIC. There didn't seem to be much experiment to it, as one who breaks from their band to preform in another-"why do in another band what you already do in yours?" is my point.
However Im glad anyway because I love this record. Its timeless. ''I don't know anything'' is fucking bad ass. I listen to that shit everyday just to get my evil power full,lol
@mike74ny UMMMMMM.....this band is very different from AIC....it's a blend of a few styles of grunge....you hear AIC, Pearl Jam and even some old school Mother Love Bone
@salemsdad76 Exactly. Im saying usually theres more experimentation to an artist going outside of his band.
Dont get me wrong though, this record is great! I love it! But it doesn't go far beyond what Lane was already doing is all Im saying. He could of done this with AIC no problem...
@mike74ny not musically though.....don't listen to the singing or lyrics.....just focus on the music, totally different from anything AIC had done.....but, I do understand a little bit of what you mean
@salemsdad76 you could have 50 different bands playing the same song and they would all sound different playing it. different people in this band created different music from aic
@mike74ny Old comment i know but, while i agree with you to a point, perhaps Layne couldnt have done quite so much with AiC as we may think. Jerry being a massive driving force behind the band there were bound to be clashes , it just happens like that. Still, all that said, i personally love em all. Cant get enough.
@mike74ny you dont know what you talking abt this is so much different than aic mad season is more rock/blues and aic is more rock/metal/grunge but what can i expect from somebody who doesnt even know how to spell laynes name its LAYNE not lane
@mike74ny nah man mad season r so differnet from alice in chains, it gave layne a chance to go in a completely different direction and they fucking rocked hard
It isn't about "doing something different than you already do in your own band" all the time, dude. Hell-o...
A prolific songwriter will often have dozens of songs that never get recorded, either because there are other songwriters in the band or because the songs don't pass muster with the other members. And THAT is how side projects and solo careers come to be...
Was a bit mashed in the early 90's myself, but i remember a bloke called Layne Stayley walking onto the stage in the Ulster Hall and saying, "Sorry guys, but im out of my head" and not moving much, 92 i think, tho, it could well of been the 1800.s tho im sure i saw a 2 that year!
Still, the guy blew me away,he didnt move, unless it was to drink water, but that voice will never leave my head, fantastic concert, fantastic voice. Belfast was a good place to be that day :o)
I find that most ppl who bash AIC and Layne to be younger people who werent even in junior high yet when Layne died. I saw AIC twice and mad season once. hell i even saw nirvana after In Utero.....just because the bands now mostly blow..ya dont have to hate on Layne. R.I.P. Layne Staley
@NeckbrokeJamez I'm 16 and I feel a bit ofended by what you said. You make it sound like every kid my age listen to pop...
I love grunge, classic rock, alternative rock, hard rock, blues, country and my friends also listen to this.
The only bands I listen to that are still active are The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, Wolfmother, and a few others...yeah only a few bands are good nowadays
So don't think that all teenagers listen to the shit that's popular now, many teens love this kind of music
@TheBeckManiac Agreed. I'm 16 as well, and sure, lots of people at my school listen to terrible music. But AIC is my favorite band and has been for many years. Glad you posted that comment.
Yeah... Strangely enough, I don't see many of these green peas (e.g., born in 1995; never knew a world w/o YouTube, etc.) listening to anything recorded prior to their own birth! Its like some kind of neo-narcissism, or something. When I was a teenager, I soaked up everything, especially the classic stuff like the Doors, the Stones, the Who, Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Jimi Hendrix...the list goes on. I simply will never understand this new one-dimensionalism
Anyone who bashes layne Staley is a fucking moron! He was the real deal! Or Jerry for that matter. Maybe these "bashers " should get up there and "give er". Probly fucking can't eh???? Didn't think so!!!! Why don't you all go bash Robert Plant?, fuckin can't either eh??? Go bash your selves!!!!
LOL, Cobain was not that different. It was then, and still is now, only about the music. Performing gets really old and boring after a while. Sometimes the crowd will phyc you up, but you want stage entertainment, go watch your New Kids on the Block VHS tapes.
with a voice like that that i couldnt give two shits about stage presence...though thats kinda how it goes when you can barely stand up, lotta those guys have a definate fuck all morrison vibe
Staley was great and will be missed, but he had absolutely ZERO stage presence. I saw them live quite a few times and I always felt that he was a terrible live performer. Even Cobain could manage to show some passion, emotion. Staley always looked like he'd rather be prone on a floor junked up.
Dude, you must of been seeing them in the later years. From the start of AIC to 1993 Layne NEVER stood in one place like he did in '94 to '96.
Layne would be EVERYWHERE on the stage, and I mean everywhere! Even jumping in the crowd! I don't know where the hell you got that, but that was just plain foolish! No offense.
@RammsteinMann13 "Must of been"?? Must HAVE been! For fucks sake. I cringe every time I see that. How the hell can people write that without seeing that it's wrong? It doesn't even make sense to have "of" there at all!
@RammsteinMann13 Hahah, I'm sorry too. I think it was the fifth time I saw that spelling error in ten minutes in various places so it just had to come out.
@RammsteinMann13 uhhh dude/chick, idk who you're talking to, but you just apologized for saying someone is "foolish." that's not how youtube commenting works, friend ;)
Yeah darknes7800, he seemed to go downhill extremely quickly
After 96' he became a major recluse, but if you search the web there's a candid pic 2 fans took with him on the street during a rare time he left his condo, dated late 99'.
He looks horrible in that pic. No "meat" on his face what-so-ever, just that skeletal look you see on 90 year olds. He looked happy in the pic though. Huge smile on his face an had all his front teeth still, just very brown, like they were starting to rot.
Layne sound great!!!!!! I was just watching videos of his last live show with AIC in 1996. Its amazing how weak and frail he became from 94 to 96. BTW, most of the Rubio book has been ruled BS.......RIP LAYNE RIP........
The writers name is Adriana Rubio and the book it Layne Staley, Angry Chair. I have not read the book, but most reviews on Amazon are highly critical that is reads like an obsessed fan..not the facts. It also contains a much repeated, but never verified phone interview with Layne 2-3 months before he passed. Where she wrote that Layne said "Dont try to contact the other members of AIC, they arent my friends". I disagree that he said that to her, as it is the only place the comment shows up.
@jmelkis _IMO, looking at 200-300 people who have read a book gives a much better cross section review, than the interpetation of a single reader, because everyone has a differing opinion.
@darknes7800 Sure, that might make sense if you are thinking about buying the book or not. But it doesn't give you the right to spout off about things you know nothing about.
@jmelkis _ The reviews are posted by HUGE AIC fans who bought the book and they are the best source of an aggregate review...much better than a single reviewer! You dont like it because it differs from your take on the book, but one glaring point still stands out...the Staley family pulled their support after it was published. Simply put, the world knows more today about Layne and his life and death, than what Rubio (with all her "research") wrote in her book!! LOL
@darknes7800 LOL!! They don't like it because they don't like what it said about them. More importantly, they don't like what Layne said about them himself in his final interview. It's like looking into a mirror, and you don't like what you see. Unlike you, I've read the book, and I can tell you that there is no way that Rubio could've made that shit up. If you choose not to believe me, that's fine. But don't pretend to know something you know nothing about.....
@jmelkis LMAO!!!!!!!!! Now you pretend to "know" exactly what the readers are thinking, aren't you doing exactly what you accuse me of??? Anyway, the review comments do not specifically speak to Laynes last words, only that the book is poorly written and full of BS that has been discounted by Layne's own family (which I have read in other articles).
I´m so proud, Barret Martin accepted me as a friend in his facebook, and Adriana Rubio also did (adriana was the only person Layne talked with in his last months, she wrote 2 books about him)
ok be cool, no ofenses! I was happy and wanted to share. Anyways adriana told me to buy her books, nothing more. It´s just a dark part of me that wants to know bout his last days, before he died.
ok search for them in facebook, you can say to barret you admire him from mad season era, etc; he will surely admit you. good luck. And adriana rubio has a page on the net where she sells her books on cd.
First off awesome band. Great combination of band members.
I just have a question. And I'll probably get thumbs down for taking up for the weak, but who thumbs down people that asks questions about band members? Too bad everyone isn't an all knowing douche bag. I mean cut them some slack jeaze.
No matter what Layne does in he´s private life... he was a GREAT singer... has a beatifull and unique voice... all my love and respect for him... R.I.P. Layne!!!
I have the old VHS tape of this show, it would be a crime if it never gets released on DVD, if my memory is correct that bass player died of an overdose
Did you give me a negative?????? Just because I said that he looks clean. What the fuck is that about. Do your fucking history. Layne was an addict yes. But he did have periods where he would go to rehab. And being a huge fan of Layne I can see that he is pretty healthy looking here compared to other performances. Next time do some research- because your stupid comments have really fucked me off big time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i read that he was in rehab at this period but also that this is his last concert, how's that sound? If he gone better maybe he could do more.. anyway i shared what i know if am mistaken its fine you enlight me and i learn the truth :)
Ofcourse, but he became totally isolated from the world after her dead. He started using even more drugs. With her close to him for some more years, he might've stopped using and would still be alive today...
His story is so sad... Just look up some of his last interviews. He felt miserable all day long, shitted his pants, took some more drugs and shitted his pants again. His friends wouldn't see him anymore...
The AiC lyrics were dark, yet the darkest times for Layne still had to come. RIP
i think every alice in chains fan should hear mad season. from memory i actually heard this band before i was introduced alice in chains. had no clue what the band was called at the time. so then i got into aic and explored laynes personality and career. then i found this long lost band. i ran right to best buy the next day and bought mad season's above. long live laynes legacy(lol 4 l's in a row)
met layne back in late 92. seemed to take an instant likin to my mississippi accent.talked and drank for a while.laughed about mississippi and country life.seemed to be having fun. wish i could have stayed in touch w/him (before cell phones)mike mcready is a bad ass guitarist!! the gell of this band is bad ass!!

First off awesome band. Great combination of band members.
I just have a question. And I'll probably get thumbs down for taking up for the weak, but who thumbs down people that asks questions about band members? Too bad everyone isn't an all knowing douche bag. I mean cut them some slack jeaze.

deneixeallo 2 years ago
Did you give me a negative?????? Just because I said that he looks clean. What the fuck is that about. Do your fucking history. Layne was an addict yes. But he did have periods where he would go to rehab. And being a huge fan of Layne I can see that he is pretty healthy looking here compared to other performances. Next time do some research- because your stupid comments have really fucked me off big time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
amentveddergossard 2 years ago
i read that he was in rehab at this period but also that this is his last concert, how's that sound? If he gone better maybe he could do more.. anyway i shared what i know if am mistaken its fine you enlight me and i learn the truth :)
deneixeallo 2 years ago
This show is from April 29th, 1995. This was his last show for Mad Season. But Laynes final show came over a year later July 1996 with AIC.
amentveddergossard 2 years ago
Are you sure? I thought the last show was in either 2001 or 2002. Remember he didn't die until 2002.
ComaAlpha 2 years ago
No Not at all. Staley remained unactive in a live show for the next 6 years. This was it. Then for ALICE IN CHAINS. July 3rd, 1996. That's all folks

Song's definitely about Demri, Mad Season came out right after she turned his marriage proposal down
it broke his heart and basically killed him after she died in '96

Polly543 3 years ago 2
Ofcourse, but he became totally isolated from the world after her dead. He started using even more drugs. With her close to him for some more years, he might've stopped using and would still be alive today...
His story is so sad... Just look up some of his last interviews. He felt miserable all day long, shitted his pants, took some more drugs and shitted his pants again. His friends wouldn't see him anymore...
The AiC lyrics were dark, yet the darkest times for Layne still had to come. RIP

i think every alice in chains fan should hear mad season. from memory i actually heard this band before i was introduced alice in chains. had no clue what the band was called at the time. so then i got into aic and explored laynes personality and career. then i found this long lost band. i ran right to best buy the next day and bought mad season's above. long live laynes legacy(lol 4 l's in a row)
