Layne Staley Interview Alice in Chains 1996 part 1 of 2

This is a rare interview with Layne Staley from a rare Alice in Chains promo CD. The Cd booklet had all the interview questions and the tracks were divided into answers. That is why you see the questions in the video. It would be hard to follow the interview without the questions.

This interview was produced and conducted by Don Kaye

Recorded at Bad Animals, Seattle

This is my first Youtube video so please comment and tell me if there is anything wrong or if I suck. Its the only way I will learn.

Proof that Layne wrote at least something in the way of melodies and didn't just write lyrics to Jerry's melodies as people like to say. Sorry, Layne WAS more important to the band than just being a great voice and lyricist.

The audio in this is phenomenal. I'm listening to it on headphones and I feel like Layne is talking to me from 2 inches away. Every little rasp in his voice is there.

See, when layne says don't contact the guys from aid they aren't my friends, he was a liar, if he even said that, they all loved each other. That's the alice i know.

I just assumed Jerry wrote the music and he wrote his own vocal parts..

[giuliana2610]

[sjfan1]

Jesus, Layne had to put up with so much bullshit from press. That probably helped lead to his reclusive behavior.

[dillon123met]

layne stayle is like the only person, famous or not, that i've ever been able to relate to at all

no idea why people keep trying to compare singers or bands, just because they might be considered contemporaries in the same genre and were around at the same time, doesn't mean one or the other was better..they had their own styles, set of songs, different singing styles etc and will appeal in different ways to different people..I don't see the point mentioning Nirvana or Kurt Cobain, none at all..
