0:57 “What other stuff has he given to the band?” “He gave me chlamydia, Ric” Sean is so naturally quick and hilarious. The whole band were so humorous despite being one of the darkest of the Seattle bands.
He was off of Heroin but he was drinking and at least in the beginning doing some drugs allegedly with Kat Bjelland when they were allegedly messing around.
He didn't have cancer or radiation poisioning. He died 10 years later from a drug overdose. You don't always look like shit just because your getting high, it takes time. It's a slow death.
Sorry for my English. Jimmy, come on !!!! Do you know anything about the 90's? Drugs were everywhere. People didn't know that drugs were really really bad. We know that ... today. I'm from Slovakia and in the 90's we also had a great musician. He died just like Layne....
Still had my Alice in Chains t-shirt from Lollapalooza 93 Dug it out to see AIC in Camden NJ 5/19/18 🤘 Got a lot of compliments on it, people knew! I couldn't believe I found it 😄 I hand washed it I ironed it put it on a hanger then I heard they're going on tour WOOHOO! I knew what I was wearing 😁
That's Dope. I went to 4 shows that year ... back stage ... I was a freakin clothing designer ... NO t-shirts Whatta dumbass I was “¯\_(ツ)_/¯“ I do know that feeling though, so I was actually pretty stoked for ya!! Much love!!! ✌
I saw them this year in ‘93 in St. Louis. Layne was in a wheelchair. One of the most memorable moments of that long day was walking by a side stage when I was completely stopped in my tracks to the sound coming from the stage. It was such a unique and unforgettable moment. My first encounter with TOOL.
Rikki was the biggest tool in the word but had some of the coolest jobs ever. Makes you wonder if he had dirt on a big wig he was blackmailing to keep getting the best assignments despite completely sucking at everything he did.
The pit at that show during RATM's set was insane, I don't know how I survived. They were literally pulling bodies out on stretchers after every song. Epic show
10 years later layne was 100 pounds! My favorite vocalist of the 90s by far. And unfortunately if Layne didnt have the major addictions he did we wouldnt have the music !
Classic Rachtman, He sucked. What a Kook. The young lady everyone sees in the background definitely is not Susan Silver, she's much taller than the lady in the background. It definitely is not Kat Bjelland, she was rocking the platinum do in 93. It's definitely someone who knows the band, or at least wants to. It was 93, and supposedly Demri and Layne were still hangin, and usually the simplest answer is the correct one. So i'd say unless it's Hope Sandoval from Mazzy Star, it's probably Demri waiting in the background. Layne was the MAN, Rachtman sucks, peace, I'm out!!
@Theta Dream Yeah ... I've most def been called a Dick a time or two 😂🤣😂 I'd probably remember better but I hung out most of the time with this older guy, he was kinda like the grandfather figure , honorary member of Arrested Development, and he had the best weed out of anybody on tour, and that's what he said about me, so we hung out a lot and talked about growing, because it turned out we both had our stuff we cultivated. It was like an instant lifelong friend. We meditated together every morning, which at that time was quite rare, but no one really gave us any shit there cuz they wanted to get our shit.. : '. : .'

@Klauzi 7h Word!!! Who knows Homie “¯\_(ツ)_/¯“ Rules were a bit more "lax" back then as well ... pre-9/11 and all. If ya weren't 187-in' someone in front of 5/0 or mule-in' a hundred keys cops and security dudes wouldn't really mess with a hot white chick, but it was most likely just some random hottie that looks like someone that we just can't really see in the pics I reckon. Much love!!! ✌ ϻя.ƹ
Who ever gave douchey Riki this job should be fired. Yes I know he was a hanger on in LA in 80s. Check out the soundgarden 1994 episode at the bowling alley where riki is the one getting annoyed by Chris Cornell. It’s pretty funny
Layne had been in some sort of relationship with Kat Bjelland during Lollapalooza. I’ve read about their fling several times and nobody even mentioned that Demri was there at that time. The girl in the video doesn’t look that short and has long arms. I’m sure that Demri’s brother and her friends already said that it wasn’t her on her facebook page. Demri’s mother has changed her story again, I guess. I don’t really trust this woman.
No, that's not Demri. Kat Bjelland and Layne were together here. From what I've read, Demri didn't attend this festival. It looks like Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Starr.
