  • he was such a happy man and a great person. very talented soul and big hearted. Stay cool and keep rockin man

  • Yep, this is the best one I've seen, so sad listening and tragic watching but it gets the grief up and out, a better way than stuffing it only to have to come out in the worst ways later. Fantastic job on this video, a million kudos.

  • No sabia que a layne le gustara Ella Fitzgerald!

    :O

    (0:44)

  • A lot of people say metallics sucks, and alot of people say AIC sucks. But i want to say something, yes james hetfield from Metallica and Layne were not friends, but metallica and Alice in Chains yes. They only make fun of each other. And we all know that James was sad at the moment Layne died. So please only enjoy the music and don't get everything so serious. R.I.P

  • I don't listen to Alice in Chains often, but this fucking song gets me every time. This normally would sound cheesy, but you can fucking hear the man's pain from his vocals. RIP brother.

  • What a waste of a terrific talent. I remember when I heard Layne had died. It was well known that it was a matter of time for years before. It was amazing he lasted as long as he did. He had actually faded into obscurity before dieing. But we still have this music and voice to listen to. Incredible.

  • Thank you!! Great Tribute to Layne. He was such a beautiful person, inside and out.. He means so much to me, even though he's been gone for almost 10 years. He is still in my life everyday. I miss him so much. What a great vocalist and artist he was. The Best in my opinion. It's nice to see how many people still listen to his songs and care for him. Never forgotten, RIP Layne. Hope you are hanging out with my dad. He was great too. The Best

  • not many people understand what lanes music was about. i great to all who do!he was very special person!heroin did not destroy his wit,his beautiful mind that was full of all kind of art expressions.he did not wanted 4 us to take heroin,as he sung in Wake up! he was giving guy!this tribute is great!

  • First off-stellar job on this video. Really. You could not have picked a better song to showcase Layne's amazing voice, chosen better video clips, and better photos. Job well done.

    And like I said, this song, to me, truly showcases just how truly, truly amazing Layne's voice was. His voice was truly unique. We will not see his like again.....RIP Layne.....

  • Wow. Im crying

  • Poor guy was messed up :(

  • Wow one of laynes last songs "Get born Again" was talking about how jeasus is fake

  • Layne Staley was my world in a very important moment of my life. I will remember his voice for ever!

  • at the very least Layne, you've inspired me to make meaningful music.

  • Layne

    

  • By the time his body was finally discovered in his apartment, Layne Staley was no longer Staley.

    He was just STALE.

    RIP Layne Staley, you are missed beautiful man

  • no place to call home...

    rip layne

  • as an ex-user of heroin, crack ,cocaine, meth, xtasy, acid,weed,mushrooms , im surprised im not partying with layne in heaven but sometimes wish i was

  • I love it

    RIP Layne [*]

  • could have been me, and should have been me. this song brings me back to those depressed days of my active addiction to heroin., theres a better way to live you just gotta surrender ., soo much potential wasted away with addiction., for anyone whose lost a loved one to addiction

  • Of the three guys sitting on the couch in the first scene, two died of drug overdoses.

    :(

  • Layne, if you can hear me now, I want you to know that you're my inspiration in doing my vocals. Every time I hear this song, tears come to my eyes and I think about how depressed I am that I didn't get to meet you. One day, I wish to be as good as you were. You truly are my hero Layne. You will be strongly missed. Man, how I wish you were here.

  • Thank you Layne for all your music. I listen to AIC everyday and miss you so much. I will never forget the day when you left us. I am still saddened by this and wish it wasn't true, in the end we're all alone without you.

  • Anytime i watch Layne's videos or tributes i feel so sad.. not only for our lost, to loose so amazing, huge talented person... but also for his painfull life... and tortured end... and death that came too early.. RIP Layne...

  • ..i miss you,Layne......

  • "If I can't be my own.... I'd feel better[not being pushed into drugs]"

    One in every corner now, and the exits are closing fast!

    Thanks.

    R.I.P.

  • Man, I miss him. And that in itself is weird to me. Because generally I couldn't give a fuck less about most people, especially those I've never met...but man, I can't help but break down a little when I think of this amazing talent that is lost forever

  • FUCKING HEROIN !!!!

    

  • @TheExoticmoments If it wasn't for heroin would we have had all the AIC hits we love?

  • @dtownlove10 Most likely, yes. Not all beauty comes out of torment.

  • where are you ?

  • rest in peace Layne, now you're gone but you voice will always be in our hearts!

  • gotta start my "moarning" with a cigarette, RIP layne

  • i dont have the words to say how beautiful this is... we all love and miss you layne

  • He may have left us in 2002 but he had a haunting voice way before that. Just beautiful. Still missing you Layne.

  • Radical. Layne was fucking, Radical!

  • I was a kid when Layne died, but I still remember being sad the day it happened. I remember being angry. I didnt know Alice in Chains as well as I do now, but I already knew that one of the best singers in the world was dead. Now, being a fan as I am, the only thing I can think about his death is that no genius really fits in this world. We will love him and his voice forever. RIP Layne.

  • @minilika I agree, no genius fit into this world, the best are no longer among us, how I miss Layne, we still have the music track always remember him for ...

  • "If I can't be my own, i'd feel better dead..."

  • the best tribute ever......

    nutshell should be the grunge's himn.

  • seaofsorrow. Thank you.

  • Hell is really not enough for people that would dislike this video.

  • This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!

    Layne make tears in my eyes <3

  • Comment removed

  • there's a saying that I use often, but I see now that there are exceptions and that it matters more how you lived than how you died. i guess he had his struggle he just didn't win, but in any other case i would just say stupid is as stupid dies.

    oh well, no one has lived forever so far, so let's just remember this guy for as long as we live. ;)

    always good to hear that voice.

  • Layne was the best. He is. and He'll be.

    when I listen to this song, I listen to the text and melody, I cry...

  • Alice In Chains Seattle's Hardest!

  • god this is so awesome, but really freaken sad

  • I like how you brought up a reference to "Down In A Hole." RIP Layne.

    No Layne, No Chains.

  • feliz cumple !!!!!!! layne!!!!!!!!!!! =D

  • Alice in Chains isn't the same without Layne.

  • Happy Birthday Layne. Your spirit and music will forever live on... never forgotten.

  • Happy Birthday, Layne...

  • feliz cumpleaños Layne, sos dios!!!!

  • Happy Birthday Layne

  • Im so sad u.u .. i cry!! .. YOU ARE THE BEST LAYNE! FOREVER AND AFTER.. THE GOD OF GRUNGE.. UNTIL ALWAYS LAYNE, DEAR LAYNE ♥

  • Nostalgic Day!!

  • RIP Layne! so many years and you are still so missed!!

  • q. p. d. love your soul.

  • Feliz cumpleaños, descanza en pazzz grandisimo Layne

  • Happy birthday Layne, RIP.

  • Man, I think we ALL can relate to this song. Black, white, purple, asian...

  • Ola amigos, alguien me puede decir a donde consigo el libro de layne staley, el que escribio la autora argentina adriana rubio, porfa quiero leerlo.

  • such a beautiful song

  • thank you

  • yes you are right about that

  • The Legend lives on through all of us. Thank you Layne.

  • My 2 favorite bands.....Iron Maiden and Alice in Chains.........nuff said.

    Still mourning.!X

  • you was amazing lol you mean were haha but great video

  • I was nine years old when Layne Staley died... By the time I was 2 I was walking around singing "Love, Hate, Love." I was born in 1992. And I cried my fucking eyes out when Layne Staley died. So fuck you. Age doesn't mean shit. Yeah, I was just being born when AiC was in their prime. But at least I was alive and a fan when he was in the band. Layne Staley is my god.

  • @AzhiaziamL im the exact same age as you, but i wish i had discovered them when you did. i do agree that age doesnt matter since we are the new generation to listen to all this great music so that it will live on forever just like laynes memory always will.

  • I will forever love you and miss you with all my heart Layne... gone but never forgotten. xoxoxo

  • Such a great tribute! Thank you!

  • Very well done. Such a great tribute.

    RIP....Layne Staley. You may be gone, but you are not forgotten. Your band and it's music will continue to rock through history.

  • i want this song played at my funeral

  • and yet i fight this battle all alone

  • How can anyone dislike this? This was a great tribute. Thank you to the person who uploaded and created this.

  • This makes me so sad :( I miss layne so much.

  • ETERNO MESTRE DO GRUNGE E DO ROCK PESADO

  • you 43 dislikes are the end of my cigarettte i just sparked to start my morning off

    R I P LAYNE!

  • I'm named after him, too so that makes it worse 4 me

  • His wings are no longer denied, he was one of the if not the best singers in the world

  • If I can't have 90's music, I'd feel better dead.

  • You cant understand a users mind

  • If I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead...

    AMAZING!

  • My. Gift. Of. SELF. Is. Raped. If you can't even have yourself, then what can you have? Nothing comes close to this. This is the greatest song, anyone that listens to it, will ever hear. Ever.

  • This is so sad. RIP LAYNE

  • "If I can't be my own, I'd feel better dead." Such strong words...my favorite part of the song, if I had to choose. The whole song is absolute perfection.

  • "And yet I find, yet I find repeating in my head."

  • dude, this song is so deep. it brings me to the brink of tears, knowing that i can wind up layne staley

  • I was looking for my usual unplugged nutshell video but it must of gotten taken down. I stumbled across this, very nice vid man! R.I.P Layne

  • SHUT UP AND ENJOY THE MUSIC!

  • I miss this guy. Miss him a lot... :(

    RIP Layne.

  • R.I.P Layne

    

  • Great tribute...Check out Rick Kurek's song FAST LAYNE on youtube in which he pays homage to the late great Layne Staley. 

  • Lanyne we all miss you.I was there in Seattle in the mid 90's and it was hard to get around with out the cocaine or Heroin being right there in your face.IT was hard to get away from it.I did thank God.It took not only layne but a very close friend to die before I got out.Thanks for the song,I will continue to miss both of you.

  • God Just Needed Some Vocals For His New Band- The Holy Ghost.

  • @JakeVlogsXD  nice one dude

  • Layne Staley is.......someone i miss......someone who inspired me........someone who will always be with me!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • great song

  • man..Layne was my favorite singer, it sucks he couln't have been around a little longer. but i guess he had other plans, you know? probably the most inspirational person on this earth.

  • for me, no other artist has touched me more than the original line up of Alice In Chains. The Vocals delivered by Layne Staley were haunting, especially on the Jar of Flies Cd. The man will be missed.

  • R.I.P BROTHER

  • fuck I covered this song but can't do him justice...

  • @crusader037972 he would respect the effort bro

    

  • just lost mike starr too.

  • 1 of the baddest songs i've ever heard. Layne will never be forgotten

  • One of the baddest songs i ever heard. Layne will never be forgotten

  • you sang this song and it makes me think,feel, and wonder. Such a great artist! that's what music is about, although I wish you chose a different parth, but I love you more the same!!'!!!

  • Stunning. Beautiful. Lovely. Tragic. We miss you, Layne. Rest well, brother.

  • not a day will go by were i wont try to figure out how he could lose his will to live and just give up the way he did.yeah dope sucks, heartache sucks but your layne fucking staley pop in one of your concerts when you were touring with van halen, kiss and see how fucking much life has to offer.and how great it can be.i really cant figure it out??I am absolutely fascinated with layne, his voice is second to none.ive been trying to find the "get born again"book but icant find it anywere,

  • @tjmaso i completley agree with ur 1st comment bro

  • laynes music wasnt a manufactured product for the trend riding masses. it was his feelings and too bad his only outlet for his pain was misread as a commercial means for selling fecords. maybe as fans and as people as a whole, we should wake up to cries for help that private and intraverted people are subliminally sending us. and i just dont mean "celebrities", fuck them. im talkin friemds, neighbors, the thousands of lost souls u see everyday, searching for the help they dont know how to ask 4

  • "my privacy is rage" what a lyric.

  • @222Lightning my sense of self is raped, my privacy is raked, dude

  • @222Lightning my gift of self is raped, my privacy is raked, dude

  • thanks for the music you made rip in heaven!

  • this is a tribute to his life and yet there are 40 dislikes? wth is wrong with you ppl.?

  • Rest in peace brother...

  • Love. And everything else. Peace my brother.

  • Love and miss Layne so much......

  • He was great. The best. If he wasn't as tortured as he was, the music wouldn't have been as good. It's sad that he had to die though. Some artists just have trouble living in this world. I hope I get to see him on the other side.

  • Até hoje não consigo acreditar que Layne tenha tido um fim tão triste. Mais um que buscou por algo que nem mesmo ele sabia. Mais um que não suportou o que nos tornamos e o que somos como seres.

    Pra mim, Layne Staley, sempre será uns dos melhores vocais que tive oportunidade de ouvir. Seus sentimentos eram intensos quando cantava. Sua voz representava toda sua dor e a sua angustia. Sua verdade está expressa em todas as suas músicas das quais poucos sentem ou entendem.

  • The ones who disliked this video should be stabbed and murdered...!!!!!!

    Staley will be praised highly by every single generation until the world ends..and those who dont..they should shut up and not express.

  • 38 people need to die down in a hole lol get it down in a hole.

  • I can't possibly like this song/video enough.

  • i dunno but those 38 dislikes can bieber my fuckin balls!!! layne was the most amazing song writer and singer there has ever been!!! DISLIKE MY NUTS BITCH!!!

  • Who are the 38 disliking douchebags?

  • @madseasonstaley obviously closed minded lady gaga fans who think the mall is the center of the universe

  • :(

    

  • see you when i get there, R.I.P. Layne

  • Man the 90's fucken rocked!!!!

  • This song... Brings me so much memories, su much of the, I can't stand it but everytime it starts I NEED to listen to it, so much memories goddamn, it always makes me fucking cry... Rest In Peace Layne...

  • OMG..... love love forever! ♥ grunge forever!

  • OMG..... love love forever! <3 gringe forever!

  • Layne brought to life and made real the dark places we all have inside that are so afraid to show.  You will be missed. It seems a shame that no one was there to save you. We love you. RIP.

  • so sad, R.i.P Layne...

  • ...forever missed and never forgotten...Layne will always live on through the music and words he left us with...

  • 9 years ago today he died.. so sad

  • RIP Layne 

  • It pisses me off When AIC was in the height of their career they had bandwagon fans that loved them. Fast forward today those are the same people making fun of layne and now they say they can stand the band.

  • Rest in Peace Angry Angel, you were an outlet for so many us that did not have one growing up. thank you for your short time you impacted my young life back in high school with AiC and Mad Season. You definitely made some of my dark times a lot more bearable. I hope you found rest finally Mr Staley rip.

  • 9 years ago, a legend died. Grunge is so underrated.

    ALSO FUCK HEROIN

  • RIP Layne Staley, 9 years today :( amazing singer, amazing person. Will always be remembered

  • @TheKillerIsMe91 Jeezzzzzzzzzz , already over freaking NINE years? That is crazy ;( RIP Layne, you were and still are a Musical Genuis!

  • I think we should all band together and hunt down the 38 people who actually DISLKIKED this awesome tribute?!...WHO'S WITH ME??!!

  • Miss you Layne and Kurt. This new generation of kids today don't know what "real" music is. They think it 's something wrote in 5 minutes, sung with an auto-tuner, it has no heart,and made just to get quick fame.

  • @Mega420gurl thats pretty much what it is and im sick of it

  • RIP layne. Met your mom last year at the tribute show. See you soon brother.

  • 9 yrs. ago today we lost a great one. Thanks for the music Layne. RIP!

  • R.I.P Layne.

  • 5 aprile.. Riposa in pace angelo <3

  • the emotion in his voice, in his eyes, is so hauntingly beautiful. love this guy

  • R.I.P. LAYNE STALEY. 

  • why would some one dislike this video. Who ever did doesn't know good music and you are a giant dick

  • you're forever missed bud.. thanks for the help, even if you didn't know you'd be helping with your music.

  • RIP brother

  • *RIP*

  • RIP Layne

  • r.i.p. layne and kurt. we will always miss both of you

  • i listen to alice in chains at least once a day,i just love there music so much

  • awesome Tribute.. but please dont rant about the new vocalist (band)

    they need to move forward.. Sure it was a hard moment for them, but get over it.. the new band is Awesome and kicking ass.. sure Layne's voice is the most brilliant one, but we just can't ignore all the other talents in the world..

    Rest In peace Layne.
