There is a reason why this has 0 dislikes. Layne is hands down awesome!

@TheLowermen Cobains voice is but a fraction of the greatness that is Layne Staley's vocal magnificence

[Hondaridr58]

Look. You can't compare Kurt Cobain to Layne Staley. They have two totally different Vocal styles, and each of them are the Kings of those styles.

@MsBrit78 NO DOUBT MAN, SO TRUE!

@danathor99 I agree but it does seem that by 1993 or so Layne was loosing vocal strength. Being the brilliant pro that he was, he worked around it and developed nuances and the vocal texture of his middle range. Smoking never helps. Ian Gillan from DP (one of the best voices of his era) had the same problem and lost his gorgeous "caramel" vocal quality around 30. His Black Sabbath stuff is awful (in my opinion).

even with a shitty quality like this it still gives me shivers! Layne was fucking amazing

[g00dguyforyou]

i feel the struggle in laynes voice what a bad ass

[csmzcs]

Layne's voice was really fucked up at this concert after singing in so many nights in a row. But it still sounds great! He was fucking amazing that man!

@danathor99 You've got a good point Man and I completely agree with You there, He definitely had something and I hate to compare but I feel The same about Kurt Cobain, They both just have a really similar soul in my eyes.

[danathor99]

@unplannedautopsy That is a perfectly fair comment man, but i was just comparing from a performance aspect. as amazing as Cornell's vocals are, especially his range, there are other people out there who can sing like that, Staley on the other hand had that special something, the man could really connect with you through his voice, and you could really feel his emotions through it, he just had that "X factor", something that comes along just once in a generation or two of music.

@danathor99 But couldn't You say the same about Layne with his drug abuse issues? Sometimes He wouldn't even tour because of it I'm not bias for either as I think both are great bands that shouldn't be compared because even though similar it's still completely different music it's only ever compared because the record labels made it that way when they came out with the word 'Grunge' to sell off the music in a package.

Don't get Me wrong but I'd prefer to see the singer tour regardless of vocals
