Demri looks beautiful in that picture.not a heroin addict .maybe it was before her addiction.anyway it's a tragic horrible story for them both .may they both rip 💔💔
@@miaaa8936 she probably looked awful past 92’, I can imagine her skinny, little body covered in tracks and abscess, probably teeth issues. They both we’re living zombies.
Actually, no. Some months before Demri's Mother Kathleen Died this year, she decided to share the last photographs ever taken of her and Demri. They were taken in September 1996...one month before Demri Died. Demri actually looked gorgeous. Very, very pretty. She had cut her long, flowing hair shorter but she clearly had not lost her beauty. Those photos are online now. 🥀
Demri was so addicted to heroin that stories of her hooking up with dudes just to get high. The things she did for dope got back to Layne and broke his heart.
Based on what I read, she was a legitimate prostitute towards the end of her life. Her last boyfriend she was only dating because he had Klonopin. Layne offered to pay for her to attend rehab, and instead of accepting his offer, she just moved out instead. Ultimately, though, they both cheated on each other; and they both passed away due to their addiction to heroin. 😔
Yes she was arrested multiple times for prostitution and theft she spent her last years in and out of the court system and the hospital, she was very very sick. She never asked Layne for money she was proud that way but he did pay for her to go to Rehab and helped pay her medical bills.
Rain When I Die, Godsmack, Confusion, I Stay Away, Sludge Factory, Love Song, Died, that one line in Get Born Again, and Mad Season's Lifeless Dead, are all about Demri.
@@GeneCarter-cw7ndThat line is from "Again", not "Get Born Again". Layne Staley said it himself in an interview with Rockline in 1999 that Get Born Again is about "Hypocrisy... Religious hypocrisy".
the Artist /Singer Prince had to settle down and marry a young girl he met, he wanted to see her, she was a virgin, then got pregnant then they got married..Prince was forced to marry. but his Original Most Intense Girlfriend "Vanity" passed away from issues due to years of drug abuse...she Passed away Feb 16/2016 .... Prince mysteriously passed away April 21/2016 ..Prince died 65 days after his Original Lust Love GF Died ...
I don;t see her in a positive way. She encouraged Layne's addiction, cheated on him, and I believe he was way more in love with her than she was with him. She probably used him a lot for drugs. Just my thoughts.
Your opinion on her matches mine She was his downfall especially when it came to the heroin use and she cheated on him often for dope while Layne was trying his hardest to get clean and stay clean. I just wish he would have never met her maybe he’d still be here 😢
I love Layne, but that whole comment about periods is so backwards. He probably didn’t mean it the way he did. it sounds like he’s projecting a lot onto Demri from their breakup
He is actually spot on. We experience extreme swings in emotion due to fluctuations in hormone levels. He was saying that’s not compatible with the grifting rock life. Not that it’s not compatible in general. My husband knows when my period is 2 days away based on my very specific mood. He gives me a wider berth during this time. Imagine trying to deal with that after being on the road and exhausted… and both of them being drug addicts. Relationships flourish when partners prioritize one another. They become toxic when the main focus is someone’s (toxic) career. And yes. Record labels are toxic and they destroy people.
I think he blamed himself and his lifestyle as well. Layne slept with prostitutes while Touring and Demri slept around as well. She even tried to get Mark Lanagen to sleep with her which he says verified what he had heard about her. He didn’t sleep with her out of respect and love for Layne. Demri was also bi-sexual and well I’ll leave it at that. So though I believe Layne loved her they really had a toxic relationship. There was also talk that he wanted both of them to quit heroin but she wouldn’t do it. It is fact that he refused to give it to her though he certainly could have. I believe he loved her too much to see her die so he wouldn’t do it. She ended up prostituting to get the money. But every time she landed in the hospital due to her heart issue,Layne would be snuck in at night by her mother who was a nurse, and he would stay with her all night. The last time she was hospitalized he wasn’t told and she died. He was put on suicide watch after that. Strangely, the day before he overdosed he told Mike Starr that she came to visit him. Her mother believes that she was there to help him transition. The last song he wrote and sang was DIED, and if you read the words they will break your heart.
is true though, most woman really change their behaviour and are generally more belligerant in their days, we male have acentuated characteristics too, as Layne says, thats the way it is, no one should feel offended about it, its a biological matter, just like male have almost double the chance of become hard drug addicts than woman, we ARE different, not worse or better, justt different. and we cant be the same or act the same.
He said that, but literally ignored that both of them were addicts, is there anything more unpredictable than to be an addict and having drugs rewiring your brain?
Aloha, I love Alice In Chains and think that Layne Staley is the best Rock singer of his time. Personally, he is my #1 Favorite Rock singer. I’ve been in show biz most of my life and also sang and played drums professionally. Had a situation like the Dirt Album cover photo ever come up and I was in Demri’s shoes, I would have just said,” The reason that I’m not in the photo on the Dirt album is because they can’t afford me.” Period🤣🙃😂! People can be so ignorant and jealous, you have to turn a deaf ear to their mean spirited, envious, hurtful blabbering. Got to let it roll off of you like water off a duck’s back - and that’s not easy to do especially as most artists are extremely sensitive. I pray everyday for Layne and Demri, two beautiful souls😢💔🕊.
Agreed. Tripod was their magnus opus. It was darker, more polished, and had an effortlessness that Dirt didn’t have. It truly captured the raw emotion their previous releases, which more celebratory sounding in nature, than anything they produced.
Nobody prescribes intravenous heroin for "pain." Layne's drug use has no bearing on the doctors prescribing pain pills like candy these days. To blame him of all people is ridiculous 😂
@@Debra-k1fIt's true though. Even people dying of cancer and/or in end stage critical care are being given no more than tylenol since the doctor's have been put under big pressure to not prescribe opiates to anyone, not even people who are in severe pain due to serious, chronic and critical physical conditions. Many non-addicts have committed suicide after their pain meds were cut off due to the only focus being on addicts getting access to these drugs to get high. Non addicts using pain meds as they were prescribed have suffered the severe consequences of this. Addicts NEVER give this a thought.
@@FUCKINGENIOUS well im not sure it doesnt exists, actually it really exists, in the bubble of nonsense that is Twitter and most other social networks Im definitively sure that they are meaningless until people stop being hired in jobs just because some ashole in twitter doesnt like your way of thinking
That's why society is where it's at. Restrictions, censorship, cancelation, because they allow the powers that be to do so. The more people refrain from caring about it, and just leave their platforms the better
