I hope so much ti rip, but only with Jesus Christ you in P. All people know this. And this is only Jesus Christ NOT and NEVER the church… please all: Read the Bibel, the book from God.
@@jeffersonaraujoelcristiano only Jesus Christ is the savier. Not a church bring You to haven. Read the Bibel, all words from God, prophets and Jesus and the history of the Judes. All is correct. No more as the Bibel and no cut -- all is good and You can know, what God and Jesus want from You. No church or other can bring You back to God … only Jesus and he do all for You and me and the world.

Layne Staley wasn't a waste of talent.. his music and soul screaming lyrics served their purpose, saving many from the pain he endured. Layne Staley was a gift.
I suffer the same pain and listening to his lyrics helps me pull through...to know I'm not as alone as I feel. Heroin creeps up on you and by the time you realise how deep you're in, it's too late...the hooks are through to the bone. Forever embedded. Layne will always be a light at the end of my darkened tunnel.
Jason Dubya-DEEZNUTS I wouldn't mix mushies and TOOL's filmclips though...I'd freak right out😅. I'll try anything to escape it. Then again, that's what got me hooked in the first place😕. Cheers for that,matey. I'll have to try it..haven't had mushies in yeeears.
Idk about you guys but I can literally see the light stolen from his eyes from when he was younger up until his last performance. That kills me inside, such a beautiful soul.
This makes me tear up. Breaks my heart. Amazing how our souls can connect with others we've never met isn't it? I know there's many of us that feel connected to Staley.
I always liked Jerry, but I think that hearing this song for the first time was what really made me crazy about him. His lyrics in this and in his solo works are so brutally, achingly honest, and he does such an amazing job with creating an atmospheric sound that conveys his feelings. He's got such a fucking gift.
He really does. That was such a nice thing to say about Jerry, and so well said. Couldn't have said it better. He's on my fb. *my husband's friend). I'll forward it to him. I'm sure he'll love it.
I'm in love with a guy who died when I was a kid. Layne's voice gets to my bones. I can't explain it. It's like magic. I'm going to see AiC this summer for the first time in my life. I know it's not the same without Layne but he'll be there because I carry him in my heart and always will. RIP beautiful man
Yasc Nay it does it gets in your bones. I went to see them a few months ago near where I live. I know it’s not the same without Layne and I almost didn’t go but I’m glad I did and I actually enjoyed the show. What did you think?
Yeah Cara, myself and so many other people feel the same way as you do! I was a young lad in the Army when they were in their prime and they became one of my favorite bands. I had no idea that in 1999 I would become medically retired and prescribed prescription painkillers that eventually evolved into the same disease that took Laynes life. Their lyrics and well…. just everything took on a more personal level for me and I could really relate to the heartbreak of his final reclusive years. Sorry about the rambling but I understand the love as it has really helped me in this long battle of recovery
I didnt begin to fall in love with alice in chains until my mid to late twenties (Im only 29 now), but ever since, I feel like I also carry a man who I never met in my heart. His soul screams through his music and into our souls. When he sings, we get to know him
im a 46 yr old dude and not ashamed to admit this one puts a lump in my throat every single fucking time. Keep rocking Jerry & Chains. Layne will never be forgotten as long as Alice is alive!
I was 19 when he passed...been jamming to AIC my entire life, but even more now at 35... I just fuckin' love them...best voice in rock ever...hands down...i feel every word he sings in my soul...when an artist can do that, evoke such an emotional response, it's truly magical. Connecting in a way only humans can through music...beautiful simply beautiful. Layne, I love and miss you...that voice will forever be in my head, heart and soul. Much love...till eternity...love...
Layne was a musical God sent to us from heaven . He was one of a kind , have never heard anyone like him . I named my first son Layne , that's how much of a impact he had on my life .. I got to see them in Spokane Washington in 1993 and I was fortunate enough to meet the band . Layne lives on through us , his music is still being played all over the world , we have never forgot you Layne , you are missed my brother .
Elton John was a fan of Layne’s & AIC, and he played piano and sang background vocals as well for this song. Layne loved Elton John, and strangely enough Elton John was the first musician Layne saw in concert at the age of SEVEN with his stepdad. I miss this man so much, I hope he has found happiness and that we will all be able to see him again one day, playing in the band in Heaven. R.I.P. Layne, you’re loved ❤️🌹more than you knew, and I cannot imagine my life without your music in it. Thanks 🙏🎶🌷😢💕for the awesome memories!
The voice that moved the world. If only we'd been given the chance to see what may have been...but it's a privilege to have heard his Godlike voice and to know the beautiful Soul we call Layne Staley.xX This song will definitely be at my funeral.
What a beautiful talented young man he was. I watch him and I smile. I will always be thankful for Alice in Chains'es first three albums and 2 EPs for helping me to live through the worst time in my life. Layne's sacrifice as an artist will never be forgotten.
My all-time favorite musician EVER. Such raw talent and unbridled emotion. A beautiful man. This guy used to give his free passes to the guys hanging outside that couldn't afford to get into his shows instead of his friends. Like, he was a genuine fucking dude. It always bugged me that Alice never got proper recognition due to Layne's demons. I'm sorry, but that doesn't take away from this guy's amazing ability to sing his ASS OFF!! The one band I'd honestly rather hear their live tunes!! Man I could just go on and on...LOVE YOU, LAYNE!! Thanks to whoever posted this! 😍
i feel the same way honey, i think that is why no Rock Hall of Fame or whatever it's called, it just pisses me off, 🤬 Layne was a gift, & now, a legend, it's not right they are never even acknowledge to be inducted, it's fucked up, they would have my vote, yours & millions more if given the FUCKING chance🤘
If you like them live get .. Alice In Chains ..live @the Moore .. Mad Season ..Live@ the Moore Layne vocally at his best. Even though w/mad season and he was very deep in his disease..he still brought it..and was able to sing a different style. I have copies of both.. The only thing besides my pictures I’d grab in a fire.
what a great tribute to layne from jerry, i just cried my eyes out, its just a waste of talent, of a sweet, loving , caring individual. who has gone way too soon.
Wow. What else can be said... Wow. A very wise man once said, "The candle that burns twice as bright burns but half as long". Sad but true. Rest in peace brother.
I don't wanna feel no more It's easier to keep fallin' Imitations are pale Emptiness all tomorrows, haunted by your ghost Lay down, black gives way to blue Lay down, I'll remember you Fading out by design Consciously avoiding changes Curtain's drawn, now it's done Silencing all tomorrows, forcing a goodbye Lay down, black gives way to blue Lay down, I'll remember you
Thank you Jerry. Very powerful and emotional. I remember dirt. Blown away. Jar of flies. Unplugged. And the last one. So many wonderful memories of the 90. Layne had such a distinct voice. Dark powerful. A man who struggles with demons until they finally won. RIP Layne your music was a gift to us. Lighting in a bottle of only for a short while. We will never forget you
This song is emotional and painful in a way we all can relate to it. This man was truly a gift from god whos haunting voice and presence will never be forgotten.
What a beautiful tribute to a friend. Well done Jerry. I'm just watching all the old AIC videos and it makes me so sad. I've been crushed since Chris Cornell passed and Layne's passing is crushing too. I actually met Layne once at a Fishbone show at the Moore theater in the lobby. I walked over to the crowd he was in and stuck out my hand out to introduce myself. I said "hello, I'm Robin" and he said "Hello Robin, Chicken Little". I thought he was odd. He signed my Fishbone tee shirt and I thanked him and walked away. Never really gave it another thought. When I heard he had died I called Norwood from Fishbone to tell him the sad news. They were on tour in Nova Scotia and Norwood was floored. He couldn't believe it, didn't want to believe it. I actually felt bad that I was the one he heard it from. Years later I gave away that tee shit and I've been kicking myself lately for doing that. And after watching all these videos of him lately it occured to me, he wasn't odd at all. He was being funny that was his personality, goofy, silly, entertaining and I didn't get it. I get it now Layne. I do. I'm so sorry you struggled for so long. You were a brilliant, beautiful man with so much talent and such deep emotion and truth. RIP Layne. I hope to meet you again one day..... signed. Robin, chicken little PEACE
this had me in tears. miss you, Layne. so few of us made it out. I so so so wish you had. you had an easiness with words and people that is rare. on behalf of joe, mark, Rachel, Gene, Paul, we all miss you. they all are dead now , as well. life in the early nineties in Seattle was so fraught and easy to get lost within. And one the maze walls close, it's hard to find your way. as we all know. RIP, Layne. You've always been an inspiration. And you will always be. always.
They were great years so many are no longer with us and the reality is that nowadays it’s more deadlier than then people go back for one more try and they never wake up again. so sad how we have lost so many young smart genius level young people never to share one more day with their family and friends. hope you stay strong 💪 I remember seeing them on their first mayor tour Clash of the Titans the crowd was brutal they did not give Alice they we’re booing throwing shit but they pull trough it and became the band we all love
I can hear his true anguish every time I listen to this song. Still brings me to tears after all this time. I named my oldest daughter after Layne. He was a legend. RIP, Layne and Mike. You were a tremendous loss to the grunge community and your names live on, bros. AIC, for fucking ever.
I've been listening to AIC since I was. 15 or 16 , I'm nearly 44 now. They never get old no matter how much I listen. Sometimes I hear a song I haven't heard in a while from them and it feels like something new again. Then I think how lucky I was to grow up hearing AIC for nearly 30 years.
Layne had vocals that could change from soft to raspy. Beautiful man with so much talent. I hate what these drugs are be doing to the no people we love and the people we don't know
A beautiful tribute to one of the greatest gifted and talented individual of the music world . I'm sadden that he's gone. My brother turned me on to them and I'm glad he did . Rest In Peace Layne.
Miss you Layne and the Alice in chains group. this song and every song brings me home to realize how precious life is... the music by AIC will never end. its what i literally live by everyday
It's funny how there are a few musicians etc that have passed that we feel so close to...more so than others and it's so hard not to miss them terribly. People like Layne and Dimebag are missed by so many people that it's almost as if a family member had died. Miss ya Layne, miss ya Dime!
There is NOTHING that brings out emotion like pain...and music. Mix them and you have this. Great song by a great individual. I cannot imagine how such a popular person was allowed to lay dead for 2 weeks in his own house.
He wanted to be alone. That's what addiction does. The fucking shame imposed by society. He was ashamed. That simple. He was just a man. Not a god. Miss you Layne....
Just got done the book by David DeSousa....his VM was full of messages. If people went there to check on him, he wouldn't answer the door. He weighed 86 pounds. He was so sick. Just very sad and heartbreaking that that was the end for him. RIP.
Can't get over how much of a goofball he was. In so many shots he literally feels like someone you went to high school with. So awkward, but so funny and sweet. Man, what a swell guy. Hopefully there's peace for him on the other side.
I agree with you 100% he was a solid dude a goofball who sang like nobody ever this song breaks my heart I miss Layne I wish he was still with us doing what ever made him happy just so long as he was healthy and happy
There's gotta be peace for a man that gave so much to the world. The more I learn about him the more of a gentleman it seems he was. Forget about the addiction, focus on what was in his heart. He's at peace now.
Most beautiful and somber song a person could sing about a friend that didn't have the strength to fight off those demons. Jerry has a way of reflecting one's heart in the message he gives.. love the AIC boys. 🤘💞💞
I hope Layne is still rocking out up there, i can't even hear this song without breaking down once. He was a good man and wanted what was best for others around him. He's my inspiration for almost everything.
prototype4285 DOOM Exactly man. Ever since I knew about his story idk I am a better human being. Layne wanted the best for everyone around him. He couldnt stand this world full of injustice and its lack of sensitivity. I am so sad for Layne I wish he was still alive doing good man 😢😢😢😢
How poignant, the video here of Layne. So 😢. A beautiful 🚹 man. Rest in Peace sweet dear one. No more pain. "Fading out by design.......Curtains drawn, now it's done." Wow, that is absolutely heartbreaking.
Erick, that's exactly what someone said intuitively I have in common with Staley as I'm sure many of us do. There are beautiful things in this world, yes. But overall it has gotten so sad and disappointing, and sometimes our souls that want the best for everyone and to love everyone, our heart and souls get to the point of feeling crushed. Just can't take anymore hate, pain, or coldness. There's so much hatred in the world nowadays :-( Life is hard enough without us all hating one another. There needs to be more love, laughter, goofiness, inspiration, and understanding.
haunting and melancholic with a satisfying deep gratitude for this f*cked up world I live in; AIC gives me reality like no other musicians do; they truly understand the pain of addiction and that awful, horrifying day in and day out; their music and a HP today has given me a new perspective today; only 1 screw up in 10 years and it nearly cost my life; everyday I listen to Nutshell because it reminds me of who i am and the hope that someone out there understands just exactly what I go through in this life.
Not fair. The video footage with this song is heart wrenching. Especially if you've ever lost someone to addiction. Watched them decline, then die. This is Definitely a Heartbreaking, but uplifting song.
You can't help but shed a tear when you hear this and you see pictures of Layne. I find it odd that heroin and hurt his life just as his career with the beginning. He must have been a beautiful person inside and out. Never having met him I would be willing to bet that man shed many a tear trying not to be an addict. I know one thing's for sure I've only been a fan for a couple of months seriously this man left his mark on the world and I pray he has found peace.
I moved to Seattle from LA in 1974 I was 19, Jimi Hendrix who was born in Seattle, he had died, and was the topic of conversations even though it had been 4 years. Then came Heart WOW what a band. Lead singer & lead guitar both woman and I quickly become a fan that was 1975 I was 20. Then nothing, until he came along in 1990. He being Layne Staley. We had not heard anything like Alice in Chains, but damn we loved them immediately, I was 35 and a Mom by then.They had a sold out concert at The Moore Theatre Seattlle. I remember being mad cause I couldn't go. Then Band after Band came out every time I turned around Soundgarden, Nirvana, Candlebox Screaming Trees, Mudhoney. and yes a group called The Presidents of the United States. Then we got the tragic news Andrew Wood lead singer of Mother Love Bone had died of a drug overdose. The remaining members found Eddie Verdder and formed Pearl Jam. Then it was down hill spiral from then on, 4 years later in 1994 we got the news Kurt Cobain had shot and killed himself. I wasn't a big Nervana fan, but there were a lot of them here. It was a sad time for a lot of Grunge rockers. Then we got to witness the slow death of Layne Staley starting with his MTV Unplugged in 1996. WOW we were shocked at how different he looked, no blonde dreads he looked Skinner and frail with short pink hair, but OMFG could he still sing. That would be the last full concert AIC would ever put on with Layne Staley. On April 5th of 2002 Layne overdosed on a seedball a mixture of cocaine & heroin. Many here speculate he did it on purpose, that he was tired and ready to go. All I know is he was found 2 weeks later by his own mother in his condo on Lake Washington he was 34. The rock community has never recovered from the loss at least not here. RIP Layne you are missed by so very many. 😔😔
always, always, always gonna miss you, layne. you were such a genuine and down to earth guy. you sang with your soul. every word had emotion and feeling. you were truly a gift to us from something so much greater. you’ve inspired so many people, man. you’ll really never fade. i miss you, we all do. you’ll never fade. i’m sorry if what troubles you went through. rest in peace, fallen hero.
I was 31 and was shocked hearing about it on the ride home from work. BEST ever! But now, along with Kurt and (fav) Layne, Scott and Chris are gone now too. All my favs from the 90s and 00s. I pray they are all in a good place.
No one in this world had or has a voice like Layne.. unbelievable talent and he left his mark on all of us.. God bless his soul and we will miss him terribly.
Thank you Layne for all your gifts… you have touched me in so many ways. You expressed your pain and struggle so openly you were brave beyond words. Your beautiful soul and voice will live on in my heart and so many others as well.
It just shows how drugs can be your best friend that you love the most in the whole world and then just one day not work anymore leaving you abandoned with only sadness and sorrow that you feel death is the only way out and how everyone would be better off. R.I.P. Layne and Mike.
look into large doses of real vitamin c powder,i guess it helped addicted soldiers who were wanting to return from vietnam,as the military wasnt keen for them to come home if they were strung out. ive lost a few good friends over the years from ods and long term use effects so i wish you luck ...its going to be rough but remember ....your stronger than you think.
life is a trip and sometimes not a pleasant one for most people,myself included ...please dont take this in any negative way, as it is intended to help ...you likely have a chemical imbalance and could be bi-polar,as most people are to an extent... if able,you could very well benefit from therapy and medication.... i know exactly what you are thinking right now,lol and ive never been one to get on psycho-tropic medications (anti-depressants) but they have helped so many people feel "normal" in their own skin. also they have identified a condition that some people have that resembles what it seems you are feeling with the smiling and crying but i cant remember what its called. my best advice would be to suck up your pride and call a professional in the mental health field,as they could probably help you feel a lot better,and we all deserve that chance to feel better . even though i dont know you personally i wish you hope that you will feel better someday.
Watching the footage of young Layne and Jerry coupled with the realisation that it's older Jerry having to say goodbye to Layne is so very heart-breaking.💔💔
Well I just cried my eyes out. I’ve never cried over a celebrity death or felt so connected to someone I’ve never even met. Layne was one of a kind and he lives on through his music and is helping so many others through his lyrics.
Jerry Cantrell is the creative force behind AIC, but the dark soul and core was Layne. One of the best rock vocalists ever in my opinion. You really felt his pain and emotion. His lyrics were so autobiographical that's frightening, considering how he went out. Oh and Elton John plays piano on this song . . . .
That hurt. Layne was a big part of my childhood growing up in the 90's. He was amazing! Another victim of gaining success and getting everything you could ever want except peace of mind and contentment to! I'm sad that we have lost so many brilliant artists to the promise of a happiness that worldly suck-cess is supposed to provide. I wish he could have lived longer so he could find true happiness outside of the lie of the limelight of broken promises. R.I.P.
God damn. What I would give to have seen him live. Unfortunately, I was only 2 years old when he died. Fuck. Amazing how it can still make me upset even though at that time I had no idea what Alice In Chains even was. Rest in peace, Layne. You will not, no, CANNOT be forgotten, you beautiful bastard. Rock on in heaven.
He's no Layne but this is the first song that really made me appreciate how much he's grown vocally, and what a way to honor your friend. Really, this song shows all of us Layne fans he had every right to continue on, I just wish he had picked someone much much more talented than Duvall because that's such a no go all over the place nice guy or not.
Lay me was with me in my darkest time, as if he knew what was in my heart and mind. The beautiful soul we knew as Layne,leaves a world behind that will not be the same. R.I.P Layne Staley
Addiction is no joke, it turns warm, loving, compassionate, talented human beings into empty shells. Once is too much, you'll spend the rest of your life(shortened greatly), trying to reach the feeling you first felt and it will never happen! Just don't do it!, and if you already have, get help. It's never too late.....until they lower you down, into the ground.
Before they got fame i met Layne in a bar outskirts of Fla.We were sneaking a joint in while waiting for a band called Alice in Chains to get ready to jam.He came up and said "Hey captain can I get a hit.cool thanks man kinda in a hurry gotta go."He handed it back and jumped onstage immediatly started singing w/full band support. After party was kick ass. He is gone now as the friends that were with me when we met them.Times change .It was cool to live w/ya
