@goforthj34 Okay now, that makes sense. I'll let my brother (who's the Ophthalmologist in the family) know. Seems he didn't give me the complete lowdown. Thanks and take care man.
Jerry sang his heart out during the Tribute Song "Black Gives Way To Blue" in memory of his friend Layne last Friday night a the Key Arena in Seattle, it wan an amazing performance and the entire concert was recorded in 3D for an upcoming DVD that will be out sometime next year but you can check out my channel for live footage that I recorded.... Check it out!!.. RIP Layne!!..
This is a reply to the Sunglasses. I am not sure which ones they are for sure, predator 2 or baloramas. One thing I do know is I love Sunglasses and tried on a pair of the predator 2 ones. If you don't have a very skinny face they don't look good. They were a little too small for me. He was a little bit taller than me, but thinner and I thought I was thin. Be careful buying either one as they look the same and you must be skinny enough to wear them.
i want those sunglasses. i keep seeing that they are predator 2 and i see baloramas. when i look up the predator 2glasses there is a logo on the outside of the arms. Layne's didnt have the logos. Does that mean they didnt print it on there back then or was it blacked out? I want to know exactly what these glasses were before i buy them
I think the Prophet(Now Deacesed) was lieng through his teeth...lol, Now ill meet you guys at the LL cool J fan page website. I think that some people (Not any of you) dont realize the impact This guy has affected my Trailer Park. You Know? 738
layne is the most inspirational artist towards you fuck head so i can opinionize all i want on him and what i ment to say was he has no room to talk when he's a junkie him self. and one word twat? which is what i get and more than u did ur age at the age i am right now. and forever. stupid bitch
girlstaley is not Layne Staley's sister. She is an attention whore mental case with more psyche issues than can be discussed here.
Layne Staley had one biological sister, Liz, and a step sister Jamie. "girlstaley's" name is "Pixi", and besides just NOT being related to Layne Staley, she is much too young.

f*ckin idiot-- that comment is like a slap in the face!! what u people don't know is how after my brother's death certificate was written traces of someone else being in his apt were found.. layne didnt OD on purpose. he wouldn't committ suicide, he was afraid of where he might go.
get ur sh*t straight before u ruin someone's day again.
not only that, this video was made WAY before any of that-- if the dead could talk, layne wouldn't. he would LAUGH at ur sorry a s s.
yeah he did...he had a skull with like 50s style slicked hair and sunglasses on his arm and he had a face with a hood on it with the faces eyes sewn shut on his right shoulder blade
some of you guys greatly underestimate laynes ability to write music. he wasnt just a guy who happened to have a great voice..people who think jerry wrote all their songs havent listened to the lyrics in songs like head creeps or shame in me or am i inside or basically ANY song from their last album or the band mad season. even with the MINIMAL skill he had with a guitar he wrote angry chair, hate to feel, i dont know anything, and probably more too. when aic releases the new album you will see.
well i love both equally. like some days ill lean more towards mad season, and others, aic. mad season i love smoking too. aic i love using for drinkin
I love layne, one of the best voices period. With that being said it was and is jerry who called all the shots and chose the musical direction. Try to embrace the new stuff.If it still sucks then trash it. I think they should have stayed AIC and jerry should have just sung the songs. thats my personal opinion.
@xmikeandlaurenx Haha did Jerry tell ya that?? I love you people who think you know it all! Jerry did NOT call all the shots! It wasnt like that! They made most all decisions TOGETHER!!!
slamjaw, i know, right? everybody's going nuts because AIC's "back together" and it's bs. layne WAS AIC, jerry had a big part to play, and other than that anyone coulld have played bass and drums. i fucking hate that they call this new band with a shitty vocalist alice in chains.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you suck mate layne wa awesome but the band mde most the music the drummer kick ass and so does the bass player no not just anyone could have made them sound that good go smoke some dick
Yes, Layne was not THE band but people shouldn't be so stupidly naive as to believe he didn't have a HUGE part in their sound.
The vocalist of ANY band always greatly helps to shape the group's music. That doesn't make them more important than the other members, but it does make them hard to replace and Layne sure as hell can NEVER be duplicated, replaced, etc.
I don't think the band is forgetting him, I'm just saying he was a pivotal member and they will never sound the same without him.
I wish they would have helped him when he needed it. He would still be here and this "new" AIC with William Duvall would not be around making a mockery of the original AIC. I don't know why Jerry is doing this. He should have changed the name. This is not Alice In Chains. It's crap. Go ahead and add Duvall, but don't keep the name Alice In Chains.
yeah i agree, he could have been saved. someone should have just took care of him under supervision. feed him, take care of him, and when that shit is out of his body maybe he could be released again. but layne would have to commit to never take drugs again.i think someone should have told him that life was a precious thing and you should value it ever day, especially after his girlfriend died. im sure he knew,but when you have a deathwish its hard to get normal again, but there is always hope.
how do you know that someone didn't try to help him. the thing is, unless you are an addict, you don't know the agony that addiction is. I do think that they should have changed the name, but hey, who are we to judge? I don't think Layne would like all of the bickering and bullshit that goes oon on these posts, but freedom of speech is freedom of speech. I guess I am wondering when this will all end. Can;t we just all chalk it up to the fact that NO ONE knows all the answers
@coldfire2227 You are so naive! You got all the answers, huh! Maybe you were the one person that coulda prevented it all... I bet no one ever tried to help him stop... He didn't have a deathwish! He wanted to stop! He struggled with his addiction every day! Get it straight before you start barfing bullshit!
Wow, Layne really had a big fucking heart. Everyone's always saying crap like "Oh he's a freaking junkie he's a piece of shit" but if they'd look at stuff like this he fucking cares about a lot of things he was a real man.
Layne is fucking awesome! I love how someone actually had this footage and put it up on YouTube. Good job! On a side note, I'd really like to know when this stuff was shot. George Stroumboulopoulos looks the same then as he does today. It's kind of freaky. And for those of you who don't know who George is, he's an ex-veejay for MUCH MUSIC (in Canada) turned CBC reporter - and, yes, he's fucking awesome too!
Fuck!!!! right now theres people who don't know who Alice was, I show em some cds and they all say the same thing,"that guy sounds better than the one they have right now", and thats fucking obvious, their not gonna get rid of what Layne did just cause they have a new singer, Staley will always kick ass he will never be replaced by someone as fucking awesome as he was but fuck it if thats what it takes to continue with Layne's legacy then fuck it so be it
I am going to tell you all this.....for those who are too stubborn......for those who just won't give any new people a chance.......They chose DuVall for a reason. Because he can sound similar to Layne, and so Jerry won't have to sing ALL of the lead vocals. It wouldn't sound the same if it was only him and also, the respectforlayne site.....is bullshit. They're disrespecting Alice the band themselves over the death of one man. I love Layne, he's the greatest singer ever.
I have been thinking of that, but if they kept the name, people will still reconize them. I seriously think they are not disrespecting Layne, cause I went to their oct.19 concert and met them all, but when they played, they dedcated their Don't Follow song to Layne. Just listen to their damn music and stop complaining about Layne's death and their name. Be a true fan of Alice and stop complaining about their name or new singer.
Well what do you think Layne wanted? Don't you think Sean and Mike and Jerry knew what Layne wanted for the band? You're really just a an idiot, you want the band to change becuase of Layne died and you don't even know what Layne wanted for the band. They kept the name because Layne wants them to. And since they do tributes to Layne all the time, I'd say they are not disrespecting Layne in anyway. What do you have to say to that?
whatever douche nozzle. it doesnt matter what i say. you will just keep trying to prove me wrong. and vice versa. this will never end and it will just keep going on and on. Besides why do you get so angry. i have my opinion and you have yours.
No dude, they should leave uit as Alice in Chains, you can't change shit, so don't try to. It's either they get a new singer or they just have Jerry sing those parts that Layne sung, which wouldn't sound like it always has. Just because of one person died doen't mean they have to change the name. They are keeping the name in respect of Layne. Tell me why they should change it asshole.
well for one it was laynes name. and at least when the doors got back together when jim morrison died the had the god damn common courtesy to change there name. Its out of respect for the person that died. And just the fact that it was laynes name. Oh yeah ...asshole
Well don't you think Layne would want his band's legacy to continue? You don't even know what Layne wants the band to do, he was actually out of hope, to where he didn't even care, to where he just went out on his own and just didn't even care about the band or the name at the most. Deal with the fact that Layne died and that Alice still kept the name. It sounds like you're not even a true fan of Alice. I like them the way they are, but you have to go agains it. Faggot.
Layne Staley has not been replaced. William DuVall is a great musician. But if you're stupid and think he is had been replaced, then go to alice in chains dot c o m. Jerry Cantrell in his own words, along with Mike Inez and Sean Kinney, say that they are not replacing Layne, just trying to find another singer. And William DuVall fits that position.
Um okay? Just because they have a new lead singer doesn't mean they are trying to see DuVall as Layne. They need someone on vocals, they picked DuVall because he can sound a bit like Layne, and they need someone to play lead vocals becuase Jerry can't lead the band by himself on vocals. Alice in Chains has always been fronted by two men. So don't give me that bullshit definition JN. Give DuVall a chance. You can't change the fact that Layne died, get over it.
I never said that they were delusional and confused DuVall with Staley. I understand you cant harmonize on songs with one voice, and I actually like DuVall playing for them, the guys got great pipes. However, if you don't call the band by a different name, all you are doing is replacing Layne.
...
Its the same way Queen replaced Freddy Mercury, Sabbath replaced Ozzy multiple times, and the same way Zeppelin finally decided to replace Bonzo. Its REPLACEMENT
I agree. Even though they did not change the name of their band, they don't want people to reconize them as Alice in Chains with a different name. They might have actually replaced them, but just as the singer, not his legacy. They do tributes to Layne every night so I don't see how they are disrespecting Layne. Also, I think Zeppelin should've gotten Bonum's son, he is the CLOSEST thing their is to Bonum. Its in his blood =]
Happy birthday Layne! We love and miss you so much!!! R.I.P.

well they shouldnt call it alice in chains cause its not. either have layne sing or dont sing at all.

No dude, they should leave uit as Alice in Chains, you can't change shit, so don't try to. It's either they get a new singer or they just have Jerry sing those parts that Layne sung, which wouldn't sound like it always has. Just because of one person died doen't mean they have to change the name. They are keeping the name in respect of Layne. Tell me why they should change it asshole.
Headbanger270 4 years ago
well for one it was laynes name. and at least when the doors got back together when jim morrison died the had the god damn common courtesy to change there name. Its out of respect for the person that died. And just the fact that it was laynes name. Oh yeah ...asshole

Well don't you think Layne would want his band's legacy to continue? You don't even know what Layne wants the band to do, he was actually out of hope, to where he didn't even care, to where he just went out on his own and just didn't even care about the band or the name at the most. Deal with the fact that Layne died and that Alice still kept the name. It sounds like you're not even a true fan of Alice. I like them the way they are, but you have to go agains it. Faggot.

Layne Staley has not been replaced. William DuVall is a great musician. But if you're stupid and think he is had been replaced, then go to alice in chains dot c o m. Jerry Cantrell in his own words, along with Mike Inez and Sean Kinney, say that they are not replacing Layne, just trying to find another singer. And William DuVall fits that position.

Replace: to provide a substitute or equivalent in the place of a person or thing.

Um okay? Just because they have a new lead singer doesn't mean they are trying to see DuVall as Layne. They need someone on vocals, they picked DuVall because he can sound a bit like Layne, and they need someone to play lead vocals becuase Jerry can't lead the band by himself on vocals. Alice in Chains has always been fronted by two men. So don't give me that bullshit definition JN. Give DuVall a chance. You can't change the fact that Layne died, get over it.
Headbanger270 4 years ago
I never said that they were delusional and confused DuVall with Staley. I understand you cant harmonize on songs with one voice, and I actually like DuVall playing for them, the guys got great pipes. However, if you don't call the band by a different name, all you are doing is replacing Layne.
...
Its the same way Queen replaced Freddy Mercury, Sabbath replaced Ozzy multiple times, and the same way Zeppelin finally decided to replace Bonzo. Its REPLACEMENT

I agree. Even though they did not change the name of their band, they don't want people to reconize them as Alice in Chains with a different name. They might have actually replaced them, but just as the singer, not his legacy. They do tributes to Layne every night so I don't see how they are disrespecting Layne. Also, I think Zeppelin should've gotten Bonum's son, he is the CLOSEST thing their is to Bonum. Its in his blood =]
