Me

Me too

🙋🏽‍♀️

Me ill never let layne go❤

Me

This song saved my life man. 6 years clean of heroin. Ty Layne

​​@@nathankeys199 That's awesome dude.👍

Going on 2 years clean from heroin. Shit hurts so much ,if you never been there ,I hope you never find out .😔

✊✊❤️❤️

I’m 1975. Agreed.

Me too!

I'm 1975 and you are so right

Me too😊.....grunge forever....

1971 and I would add Andrew Wood and Scott Weiland. I agree 100%.

Yes, because we were there when he still was alive. And saw him in person. Felt blessed as i saw Jesus himself

Me too. What a fuckin' tune, what a singer. RIP Layne😔

Yes ,Many of Us,and More!!!

I'm 36 bro. Feel like I'm a catalyst

56 and the same thing. God we've lost such amazing talent. Especially within the grunge scene.

His voice was out of this world. I wish I could’ve heard it live.. maybe in the next one

Best singer of all time honestly

3 singers and artists that can never be replaced layne Stayley kurt Cobain and axl rose I hope people diss agree cause if they do they obviously don't no anything about true great music peace out rest in peace and keep on rockin

@@chasewhite8292 Kurt Cobain isn't even like top 50 . Axel Rose is just a screamer.

Emotion comes through .Lanegan, Cornell, Morrison. Cherish them while they're here, it's a shooting star.

Happy to hear that Bro!! You Both deserve it. Peace ✌️

Keep on going for your son brother. I'm sure he'll be proud of his pops.

Great job, children deserve the BEST dad and mom they can be. Keep up the great UNSELFISH work. You've got this.

You are Beautiful ❤

Embrace him every chance you get. I stopped drinking on April 22 2006 when my son Kurt was born. Unfortunately COVID took him January 4th 2020. Am now back to drinking and am sad everyday.... Alcohol makes me not ruminate, yet at the same time, makes it so much worse 😢

😎✌️

I thought that too

You nailed it ,well said

I agree.

​@JoeMama-lq1dtway to be edgy without making a point

Drugs are bad mmmmkayyy?

🤔👍

God bless bro, I'm 7 years sober.One day at a time.

Congrats man. It's a miracle you got sober from probably the hardest substances to get clean from. I hope you are still sober... Remember, we only have today brother.

Congratulations you have done one of the hardest things next to giving birth.and in a way you are reborn as well

Congratulations, brother. You got this. You've never met me either, but I believe in you.

Great job Elandy. 91 days here. Are you a friend of Bill W?

Greatest voice ever !!!!!!!!! My jam , fly so Fuc high kk , my 1 , my love my little girl , Murdered …. 5 5 21 , all the colors r gone , turn black n faded ……

Great song... have the album. But 514 times (song) is alot ... how do you do it? It'll be around 544 times by now.

aguanteeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! esta hinchada nunca te olvidara!!!!!!

Sure is. Wonderful song.

congratulations

AMEN BROTHER!!!

lol weed is actually worse than alcohol if u drink light beers but good or you

@username5353 no what. Weed definitely fucks with your dopamine receptors and your frontal lobe in different underrated ways. Alcohol does also, but it takes some serious drinking

I love you ❤

20 years!that's awesome 👍

I'm on 36 days clean. And my mind is my worst enemy. I can't wait to wake up and not feel the need to use. My hat goes off to you and many like you.

my biggest respect👋❤

@@mikemuller4376 thank you. That's kind of you to say.

Almost 7 years sober , listening to Layne , I never had it so good

Stay strong Haley 💪you go 👧 we all miss layne may he rest ln☮️🙏🏻

Stay strong 💪 . layne would still be living if it weren't for drugs . stay straight

@Haley that's awesome! I just hit 10 years!

Keep on fighting ..unfortunately My son lost his battle 2 yrs ago... it shattered the family's lives. I pray for strength for anyone suffering from addiction and the family's hurting from it..proud of you

@@trishdion900 you are in my prayers! I'm so sorry you went through this! I thank God I didn't do that to my family (although I came so close)

Beautifully said. Thank you. 😊❤

Well said brother

Well said dude

This song hurts my soul knowing what he was going through, and being an addict too.

that is fucking beautiful and true

Couldn't agree more. It's poetry.

He is what happens when a guitar string learns how to sing

Very true

🙌🏻

A point can be made for Ozzy Osbourne as far as unique voices as well...

Dylan yes!

yes !

Sylvia's words just touched mine. She's freaking BEAUTIFUL. Sylvia, will you marry me?

Dylan I met Staley in Nashville as well as all of AIC and Blind Melon in Nashville Summer of 92....great memories.....Hoon was the coolest of all of them...

Jeff Darnell Hoon was a character. .lol .

I sound/SING exactly like him, just saying.......I'm proud of that, best wishes to you and yours.

How?

congratulations on 26 years sober my friend, I hope to have the same resolve as you one day

Congrats. Good bless 🙏🙏🙏

Hang on!!!! Be well.

i just relapsed after 10 weeks clean from a year of using, before that I was over 10 years clean, I wanted a stupid visit and almost died 6 days ago and am back on the wagon. heroin addiction is a heartless bitch!

Congrats brother, still on the wagon?

@@tappytibbon927 yes man and real heroin is hardly around anymore so you probably did Phent for the first time. It's a bit of a different animal and shooting it is honestly overkill because it's no joke. Getting off it is by far the hardest thing I've had to do in life. Stick with your sobriety. The relapse never ends up being worth it

You gotta be careful on them wagons. Safety is priority number one. Just kidding glad you got back on. As for myself I can't find a good seat on the wagon because I keep falling & by this point I don't know if I want to make the effort to climb back on. Have a good day all & thank you Mr. Staley for being the soundtrack to my youth

I hope you are well and keep fighting.

Remember it's a long road. But when you fail, just remember you're not a failure. You might not but a lot of us do fall back on old habits. You're a strong person for doing it. Be the best cheerleader for yourself.

Music Is Certainly Therapy…. Whatever Resonates….

I'm happy for your decision:) gives me a little hope for myself.

@@psillymama Remember you can taper if it gets hard. Just never fall back on old habits, find a hobby. I took up fishkeeping lol. They give me a reason to live now. Just watching them and knowing I gotta be around to care for them helps me continue. Plus it's a major stress reliever. But choose something that you'll enjoy and preoccupy your time.

No, it's one of the most honest songs ever written.

@@user-ir9jw9yo8v Absolutely! He’s been a major part of my musical life. I even had an Alice In Chains Tribute band.

I agree. His voice gets to me. Wish he could’ve somehow survived. Every time I think of him and his death it just makes sad ...about someone I didn’t even know. I liked AIC when they came out but I didn’t become a true follower until after he was did. I researched them and especially him. He seemed like a sweet but lost tortured soul. The unplugged session was THE best by any band grunge or not. He really came through. What a voice and what a artist and idealist. RIP LS MS

Hauntingly vocals

@@tomrussell9829 that would be nutshell

@@waltersobchak7275 Or Frog from the Unplugged session "why does it have to be this way...." gives me shivers.

Hows jango doin😀?

I pray he is out of that river.

Very well said!! I hope he found peace as well!!!

@@terriclark365 Mucho

❤

It's the Devil. Pure evil.I know this well.

It never occured to me this song is about drugs for the longest time. still don't know if it is for sure but it could be. We all have our sins, and pain.

​@@vettemuziekjesIn an interview the interviewer asked Layne what one of his songs was about. He asked her what she thought it was about. After answering his question he told her that she was right. Asked to explain further Layne told her that the songs meaning is meant to be derived by the person listening to it. Sure, he wrote the songs based off of his own life experiences but theyre simple in their messages for a reason. So many people can relate to them. Think of the song 'Would' for example, if you read the lyrics to that i believe everyone in the world can relate to that song and derive meaning from it that applies to their life in some way.

right now, beautiful song

Same here. Everytime.

It was shitty alice in chains were invited to the grammys, during a segment in the show where they remembered artists lost during the year, mentioned nothing at all about layne, total bullshit, jerry and the rest of the band got up n walked out.

@@bobbywhiteman9421 its a blessing to meet real true friends who want nothing but the best for you in life, friends who stick by your side in your time of need, friends that want to see you succeed in life and uplift you and honor your memory in death. Nothing but respect for alice in chains

It's so fucking tragic. I hate it. I miss him.

💔

No words

I was named after the man. And i relate so much to him

@@laynebrown2730 your parents gave you a great name🤘

@@TaronFps i have my dad to thank for that, my mother wouldve named me dalton. My dad was going to name me layne bradley brown. Bradley from sublime and of course Layne, one of if not the greatest singer of his generation

@@laynebrown2730 I've always said, if I ever have a son, I'm naming him Layne. I guess your dad had the same idea:). My favorite singer has to be Layne too. I wish I could have been around to hear him sing live. What's your favorite song of his?

@@TaronFps either sunshine, river of deceit, or rotten apple.. But the song i listen to most would be rotten apple

Congratulations 👍🙏

You my friend are a save..God Bless you & stay clean.

How did you do it? I quit and then 3 days later I just fuck it all up.

@@jackgrover9206 I went on the run from parole, went to Philly and had every intention on saying fuck it all and do a hot shot with the last of my money but before that happened I ended up crashing my car across the bridge into Jersey... went to a NJ county jail until my county in PA came to get me... then went upstate for 2 years. Those 2 years, combined with allready being 32, told me I just don't wanna do this shit anymore. If I wouldn't of went upstate then, who knows.... but apparently it was my final rock bottom. I hope u find urs soon dude...

Thanks G

Imma kiss you

Beautiful

❤

Strong words

😈💀💀👁️✌️🇺🇸🆒

Glad to hear you’re better bud

So happy for you! Although I think being able to listen to 1 hour a week of music is a little harsh - music is therapeutic and helps with pain and mood regulation. But I get that facilities have to make a structure .

@@wplants9793 they do it so you don't use it as an escape from handling your issues that you need to deal with. Harsh has nothing to do with it.

Stay strong 💪....you do NOT NEED THAT garbage...

This is better than any AIC songs

Yes...

Macy Love, Agreed! Just down to your soul sista!!

agree, this song is so close to my heart having lived it and still living it everyday

I agree! Sure wish he was still with us singing awesome songs!!!

So true👍I never tire of hearing it.Simple rythem,deep words,best voice ever.Just takes ya away some place🎸...

Congratulations.. I know from experience, it's one of the hardest things to do.. you deserve the credit a million times over..

Awesome Me too! I will be sober 4 years in June off of heroin and meth. Anyways congrats and stay strong ❤️

We're all a bit damaged my brother,,,,respect and much love stay sober one more day

someday we wont have to do this; there will be fun drugs with no negative consequences. It's not wrong to want to alter one's mind; just so far the only ways to do it usually turn out badly but if you look at all of human history, we are still in the primitive experimental stages of discovering and creating mind altering substances. We'll get it down eventually and life will be better.

I'm so glad that you are doing well, and it's so good of you to share your experience here for those who are struggling with the monster. Best wishes for a great 2022. 🌈

This is most definitely their best song ever created

God bless your grandfather

God bless you!

Grandfathers ❤are wise .....

@devil rain I agree with you. I don't see them as grunge either. I think what throws people off is the strong yarl in layne's vocals. It's very grunge like.

Beautiful… he would be so honored :)

I am going to name my first child after Layne 💜

@@zosoart My son's name is Cooper Layne... for THAT exact reason. Peace bro!

My brother is named zeppelin stone ! Take a wild guess

I find that people alwaysassociate drug abuse with the satan. And addicts are less than. There is no vod and some people like that opiod feeling. 88866 that wierd god satan complex some people just like to get high you dont know when ur dead

It's not easy. Life is struggle, but keep trying, and find something that works for YOU. No two humans are identical, and there is no "one size fits all" approach to figuring it out, so to speak, and finding some type of happiness or inner peace. Keep fighting! ✊

You can do it.

You aren't alone...

Hang in there man

Please Know you are loved ❤

YOU are Chosen Keep It Up. ✨️

All our Pain Is Self Chosen,the only direction is Down !!!

Respect.

@@FazMaTaz I'm still clean!💪

@@jonathanalexander1517 Awesome. Mad respect for you. I mean it.

The 90s rock and grunge was some of the very very best....

Me too

Layne had the most unique voice. You really can feel the music. He was such a vibrant talent. So sorry he was unable to beat his addiction for good. He suffered to the end. Rest in peace. You still are loved by many.🤟💔

34 years clean and sober I still love this song

LIAR

the whole decade like that

I love you Layne

powerful message, thank you for sharing, blessings to you and your family. I completely agree that we should hold addicts in kindness and compassion...

I love this message..I work in a store where a lot of addicts come to sell stamps for money and bring in change for another beer. I don't know how many times I educate my coworkers on addiction and how there isn't a choice while in it's grasp until there is a spiritual intervention of sorts..I was an addict and I know how easy it is to slip from taking a few pills to get through the day to selling your kids stuff to get that through the next few hours...unless you have been through it it's really indescribable with words.

@@leeannasloan2292 Yes, it is a disease. No one wants to be a drug addict. It is a complex physiological and mental and emotional problem. There is a lot of help out there. Anyone who is struggling should seek help from kind, competent mental health professionals.

Wow what a successful marriage! A victory. I hope I can last this long with my wife as well.

That's beautiful!! 🎉

Tom Pen I know. I love it when the G string rings like a steel rail that got a shock wave cast through it. Open G string with a D played on the B string, 3rd fret. Just those two notes alone let you know what awesomeness has yet to come.

+Tom Pen That's Mike McCready for you.

+Nebula 7 *Mike* McCready

+bobshenix wow I failed.

couldn't have said it any better

Was Layne sober when this was recorded, do you know? As fucI

Your such a sweet soul girly 💓 this song is the anthem to my life

@@daveomacron4301 i believe he had been to rehab during this period.

Do you have a source. It’s a beautiful story

@@michaelbergeron1554 Layne knew mike already but they formed the band in rehab.Mike stayed sober unfortunately Layne did not. That's why they used footage of a performance of this song in the video.

Not sure who underrates him

+wwaldo2525 Was looking at 100 greatest vocalists by RS, and they failed to mention Layne Stayley. Although he does get recognition from most critics and fans he gets overshadowed a bit by other musicians from that time. Imo he's 1 of the best vocalists ever.

+Tyler Howell - choctaw, oklahoma tyler howell?

A couple? D: I'm so jealous!

Katt Björn Yes, once when he was with Alice, and the other with Mad!

Agreed. I think it's pretty awesome

Same

Thank you so much. XOXO

yeah its a bunch of liars seeking sympathy

same here.. been in recovery 17 years. So many beautiful people here, makes my heart smile to see so many on this path of healing

McCready is one of the best players then and Now!,!!!

@@Meterman13 agreed.

Suhishan Bhandari, I have read that book! It's great huh? I love Mad Season & Alice in Chains as I love Layne Stayle and Chris Cornell. But this song is rally something else. "The River of Deceit".

Suhishan Bhandari x

Wow, neat find!

supposedly they wrote and recorded this album in a little over a week and layne was reading the prophet during that time

@@dustythe2nd188 which one of his books are the best one to read?

Steve Sullivan well put sir

nicely put wish he would have realized he wasn't alone but I'm pretty sure he felt that way fuck heroin nasty ass drug anyway

Steve Sullivan exactly you can't sing the blues, Without living them.

But listen, if you have never walked the road of addiction then PLEASE don't judge someone else who has. I agree 110% the world truly lost a BEAUTIFUL soul with an amazing voice.. his pain is so REAL and you can feel it.. I LOVED Layne... there will NEVER EVER be another musician with that gorgeous yet painful sound.. there needs to be more options for Addicts of all kinds.. heroin, opiates, crack, coke, meth, alcohol etc.. People don't just wake up one morning and say Hey, I think I will get strung out today n ruin my life.. I am speaking from experience.. I was an opiate addict for 6 years and my doctor was my dealer.. I had a severe back injury and seen multiple doctors for different opinions bcuz I absolutely did not want to undergo surgery.. so instead of my doctor educating me and taking other routes and exploring different options available for me, he just kept writing scripts.. before I knew it I was an addict.. I couldn't function without the meds, I would get extremely sick of I ran out and it was HORRIBLE.. I finally had to make a HUGE decision to move away from everyone I knew and loved to get myself some help. I couldn't go on like I was anymore. I was hurting my husband and children so bad that I had to do it for THEM, as well as myself. I am happy to say that 4/1/17 will be 3 years clean for me! It hasn't been easy but I have a wonderful support system, my husband, children, and a few REAL friends. I wish someone could have helped Layne.. I know that struggle and it kills me that we lost him to the addiction, he truly was AMAZING.. RIP LAYNE

Steve Sullivan you post this same comment on every song with layne in it wtf😂

I believe Mike McCready was a great guitarist! He had some really nice work with Pearl Jam too

McCready is goated bro

Peace to you. Losing a love one is the hardest thing in life I’ve encountered.

mat11trick Thank you so much. Peace to you too. :)

God bless you. Love from Brazil.

Love from Ireland, you sweet angel. We're all kindred spirits right here.

I don’t know why you married a man with a name like that.

Missing Layne and Kurt and Chris in Feb 21. Missing so very many more beautiful souls too.. Though we don't have them here each day in our lives..I believe that their souls live on forever.. rest in peace brothers 🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯

The brightest stars always burn out too soon....

@@luvmesumyoutubeunhuh5477 so true..broke my heart a little more you just did...❣✌

Layne (AIC), Scott (STP), Kurt (Nirvana), Chris (SG), Shannon H (Blind Mellon)......miss them all.

🇧🇷❤

His life, short as it was, had meaning.

@@vettemuziekjes1,000,000%!! so many of these great artists from the 90s that are gone now, had such powerful impact on us, on humanity and culture and so many of our individual lives… Keep reverberating throughout time🎉🎉🎉🎉

Don't forget to pull off your skin before you swim to shore n shit, or u won't be able to grow a beautiful she'll n shit🤪

Pull off my skin and swim to shore🎶

Yeah Laynes Greatest moment,Beautiful

🤘🏼❤️

​@@danhartwigPerchI hope he knows that what he left behind is helping people

In the end it will be ok

Lol,can you believe Layne Staley made up those lyrics ad lib.? Yup, He actually wrote a song that good , just off the cuff...That's serious talent man. Aghh.. so many of our best talents died so young. Bro,, they really burned their candles on all sides at once.

Random - I went through some shit this past year and fell into alcohol and depression. Got a tip to start taking B1, Magnesium, Potassium and Zinc every morning. Im about 4 days in and my depression/anxiety is all but gone, and my desire to drink is also going away. Also, get into some therapy brother... its very healing.

Please know you are loved ❤

Thought these were lyrics lol

It was the last really good era of rock music

"The air was electric" brought a tear to my eye

I got here on Aug 18th 92 - Seattle and didn't even know about this music - it was great and still is.

I doubt you look like your pic now... a time from the past.

A good era in Rock music! Post punk

♥️

Vida

Layne is with every great artits and there is all THE IS A LOT FOR HIM, CHRIS, CURT, MARK STAR, CHARLIE WATTS AND MY ALL TIME FAVORITE STEVIE RAY VAGHAN I I would really LOVE TO FiND my WAY THEREbest thing that could happen ro me

@@amyanderson9897 when my band covers nutshell I feel him

@@MusicMan3 i wish he was still here

I just got into Layne this week. Starting this new year finally getting insurance thru my job. Been addicted to fent going on 2 years now I'm ready to find the detox program or rehab that I need

Michael Nocito Forever and always my friend

Michael Nocito I hate I never got to see them when he was still alive, my biggest regret to date, and I’m 39. I don’t even want to see them with their new singer. In my humble opinion Layne was Alice In Chains. I know I know they were a team but he made them what they became

till the day I die, this is a great song

@@kevintunaley5079 whole album stays in rotation

2019

Theres all ways hope keep the faith stay 💪🙏🏻

Problem is there will never be another Lane 🥺🥺

There was a long stretch of years I remembered this song but did not know who it was by and couldn't find it. I knew it was Layne but it was not AIC. I remember sitting in my car as a teen listing to this when it first came out and loved it. So much joy when I finally found it again.

42 million streams in spotify lol

Love this

Heidi Anderson And nobody has since. Probably never will.

The tone and character in his voice cuts through you.

Yes! It's very sad that his demons kill him.

Heidi Anderson And I dont think there will ever anyone that could top Layne.. Layne was and still remains the best... and mike , jerry

I agree!

I had no idea that was Mike McCready and now it all makes sense.

Mike McCready is/was terribly underrtated.

​@@mapletree2009 IS... he's still jamming today with Pearl Jam.

How are you doing

Dude, you just described my night.

Leelee M and I thought I was hella weird for doing the same thing.

For real

This is so true 👍👍👍

exactly i do the same thing you do not want to miss out on a great song

+Digishade 99.9% People aren't able to be authentic like this in the 1st world, very few are, unrelenting media exposure via smart-phones encourage people to stay in an infantile regressive state, they are programmed to be consumerist and conformative and co-validate through that and that alone. You would have to maroon those types of people alone on an island like in Cast-away for them to come back into reality

+Digishade there's heaps of music out there which shows the same passion as what Layne had. Listen to Gang of Youths, good place to start if you want some very emotionally charged, relatable rock music

yeah my heart broke when he died. for me, THAT, was the day music died. can't bring myself to list n you the new stuff. Not the same

+Digishade music out there

+Jimmy Manning Layne was indescribable. What a sad loss. RIP

The mind is a very powerful thing. You are a capable of overcoming anything. Once you realize this nothing will be able to keep you down!

Yes pain is pleasure.......untill you overdose on pain.and yes I chose pain at times but never turn your back........junkies say dopes no good if it don't kill you..Beware loved ones..

Clean for 3 years now,my pockets full,doing great,so the perfect say,,,then why am I so emptyand missing something?I will return one day to what some would call madness,and others call denial or relapse.so I guess my pain was is and will be self chosen

@@darrinwest6757 we all feel empty sometimes. i don't use anything beside grass though i have tried some others, but i know that feeling and to me it has nothing to do with drugs, it's about not fitting in this society or not getting what gives you joy. it sounds stupid but money can't get you anything.

When he says near the end OUR pain is self chosen really hit me. Not only his personal struggles but the struggles we put opon ourselves and others. 2020. What a timely message.

You should, it is a powerful introspection sparked by an incredible author - Kahlil Gibran This song quotes the "On Pain" section of Gibran's classic, The Prophet (which lent itself to the lyrics "or so The Prophet says" in this song).

i know its been 11 months since u commented, but thank you so much for this.

William E I hear ya man. I start on the Methadone program nxt wk. I can't wait, I wanna drown this demon once and 4 all man. I hope 2 God I can!

William E there is a light at the end of that tunnel you're going down friend.

well sir getting help is a good idea methadone is a bad drug to it is just as hard to get off of the best way is go thru detox and in treatment someplace I have been down that road and in the end this is what I had to do its not easy but nothing good ever is easy I have been clean for over three years and it is still a fight every day good luck with your fight

Hi William, been a few months since you posted your comment,how are you doing brother?

William E I’ve been clean from heroin for 6 years. I remember when I was using, I just wanted to feel like how I felt before I got on dope. And now I feel like I was never on it. This clean life is amazing. Please do this!! This side is beautiful

I love you keep doing good

Jon Jacobs - please brother. You are worth it. Your life is worth it. You just haven’t experienced a life yet worth living. Maybe it’s finding a love. Maybe it’s finding a thing in life that makes you feel like life is worth living. I pray for you. Maybe today can be the beginning of something new.

Keep coming here and don’t give in or up.

The highs end fairly quickly and the lows aren't the end of the world. Make sure your toes keep tappin' until the drabs leave ya. Which they will. You can still reach some of your potential but realize being content and somewhat happy is more important especially in the short and long run.

God bless bro

Boom! hey Julia, Love this song... Have you ever seen my channel, The Sanity Machine? Check it out... Cheers. :))
