What Makes This Singer Great? Layne Staley - Alice In Chains
As frontman to Alice in Chains, Layne Staley’s music encompassed multiple genres.
Coming out of the early Seattle grunge movement, he was also later named to Hit Parader's list of "Heavy Metal's All-Time Top 100 Vocalists", in addition to "The 50 Best Lead Singers of All Time" by Complex's magazine.
Staley started making music young and by 3 years old he was already playing in a rhythm band for kids. By age 9 he knew wanted to be singer, writing it in his Dr. Seuss book “All About Me”.
Layne played drums and was in several glam bands before transitioning to lead singer. He would later join the band Sleze which then transitioned into Alice in Chains.
Alice in Chains went on to produce 18 Top 10 songs and five No. 1 hits on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart.
Though we tragically lost Layne much too young, his greatness still lives on through his music. I’ll be looking at a couple of his performances and I’d love to also hear what YOU thought made him great.

Layne had one of those voices, that I don't think will be heard again. He had this ominous spooky voice, in many songs and yet made it sound so beautiful and melodic. Its sad he left this earth so young, but in such a short amount of time he left a legacy that will never be forgotten. Its sometimes forgotten as well, that Jerry the guitarist and Layne, really sounded amazing together when they harmonized. Especially on songs like Would.

@kristophermann25 4 года назад

Layne had such a nasely whine combined with a gut wrenching wale that will never be reproduced or imitated. Truly an icon of Seattle grunge... there will never be anyone like him again. It breaks my heart that he was so tormented that he had to go out the way he did. 100% legend!

Or he didn't do it long enough. Well his short time he did enough to make you see if you take a deep dive and dig through all his work. In AIC and outside. Most only see the popular stuff. He was so much deeper and could sing in any genre. Listen to how they made the Mad Season album. He basically freestyled those songs and several of them are damn good. River of Decite, Wake up, Artificial Red among others.

@pikabear3790 2 года назад

Honestly though, that performance in Rio, Layne's voice is absolutley shredded. By the end of the show he basically had nothing left. And yet, he still managed to put out that herculean effort on basically his hardest song. Any other mortal would just shit their pants and pass out trying to hit those notes if their vocal cords were shot.

@suek8395 4 года назад

First word that comes to me when I think about him is "emotion". The mastery and power of his vocals was amazing but he interpreted those lyrics in a way that made you completely feel what he was singing. If you look at River of Deceit, for example, it's completely different from anything he did with AIC. It's soft and breathy but still super emotional. I'll take a singer with less vocal skills that emotes over a technically perfect singer who doesn't do that anytime. That's what it's all about. Sure wish he would have made it.

What I love about Layne is the AIC Unplugged concert - how he casually came on stage after the band started playing, walked right to the mic sat down and started with that husky voice and beautiful vibrato the "weeeeeee, chase misprinted lines..." it looks so easy, he hardly opens his mouth, yet the sound gives me chills. Also during the whole concert you can see he was at first very reserved, but kind of thawed by the cheers of the audience. The atmosphere is beautiful and it's apparent everybody had a great time.

I didn't know who he was at the time as I hadn't heard of them at that point. He was super sweet and to be honest not the guy he turned into. I was at a cross roads about whether to jump into the beginnings of giving my life to music and he gave me some excellent advice. 26 years later and I'm still working and living as a musician. One of the most important conversations in my life and it's a shame I never got to tell him in person. Thanks for doing this Ken, brings back some super memories.

Matt Rossetti: I get exactly what you said. I also can find it comforting and quite beautifully done music on other songs and allows you to think that you are not alone in your deep dark thoughts. Plus all the guys said that Layne had a wicked sense of humor. Just one more reason why I've enjoyed AIC so much. I mean who says at their show....."I see you did your best to get here in the snow.....(then) 'didn't you have anything better to do?".............! They are all hilarious and have a ton of great funny footage out there.

@roxanne4820 4 года назад

Love that Layne is still getting attention. There was definitely a significant change between Layne's voice in 1991 (Moore, Seattle) and 1996 (MTV Unplugged)...he was sounding more nasally and his voice seemed thinner in the later years (still sounded great though )I'm guessing it was down to drugs and perhaps not singing in a way which could preserve his voice for longer if there are certain techniques where that can be done? Would be interesting if you did a video about it exactly how drugs and alcohol can affect one's voice, and how the voice can be worn out generally and what techniques a singer can use to not wear out his/her voice.

the cool thing about the big 4 for grunge, is they all were distinctive, even in their frontman. Kurt was raw emotion, Eddie brought the soul, Chris was the prototype of what you want in a voice, and Layne was the anomaly who left it all bleeding on stage in a way that you never heard before.

I got seriously into AiC pretty recently, just in time, am I right? I am so impressed with how beautifully Jerry and Layne harmonize together; with the stunning music they wrote to accompany the voices; with how great everyone in this band plays; I also adore how Jerry headbangs with this long long hair! Not to mention how good-looking all of them were at the time! On another note, could you do a video about the vocalist of Virgin Steele - David DeFeis? His band is pretty old and few people know about them (for some weird and unknown reason to me because they are just as epic as Iron Maiden, Manowar and so on). Even though they are inactive now, I think a video on them might bring attention to their brilliant music.

Layne Staley always felt so effortful to me. Some of these amazing singers just always feel like singing comes effortlessly to them. Like they could be doing something else at the same time and still belt out a flawless performance, or they could be thinking about what's for dinner tonight. Layne always feels like he's singing with every ounce of energy he has in him, and I love that. He's also got more of a vibrato in his voice than a lot of grunge singers bring though. Absolutely 100% unique. It sounds like he always has amazing diaphragm support, as you said. Fantastic vocalist.

Layne and Roy Orbison. My 2 favorites of all time. I remember when Layne died, I was truly saddened cause I knew there’d be nothing else. I usually don’t care about celebrity deaths but that one got to me for selfish reasons cause I wanted more stuff from him. I got the same way when Chris Farley died.

Hey Ken, great video. Layne always blasted out so much power, as in the end of your video. Amazing and unreal.

@@kentamplin I got your training course a few years ago. I was overwhelmed and didn't think I could do it but I should try again. I'm not a natural but I'd love to be able to sing.

Ken, thank you for making this video. Layne is one of my favorites all time. Love his very unique distinct voice. Ken I love how you teach us about these singers, styles , and their voices. God bless.

STOKED YOU CHOOSE LAYNE! ONE OF THE BEST! The tone and personality on his voice was so soul touching. He really stood out from everyone else in that era. From "I stay away" to "We die young" he could do soo much musically. The fact he sang in a funk rock band before AIC....he could cover so much ground. Could you do a video on Scott Stapp from Creed?!

What comes to my mind is ; There is Nothing that you can say wrong about Layne's voice. "Nothing at all". He is an Amazing singer with a One of a Kind voice. Pretty much, something you can't teach !!!

Gabrielle did an amazing job on covering this! It’s such a hard song especially for a female! I never like covers of Layne cuz he’s so unique and def my favorite vocalist but hers was great! I wish I could do it as good as she did man def impressive 🔥 thank you for posting about Layne he is a legend!

AIC and AC/DC my two favorite bands. From AIC my two favorite tunes are "Would" from the Staley years and "Private Hell" from the post Layne generation. Not the heaviest tunes but I always love the ones that really kick you in the guy emotionally. They really invite you to listen so closely to the vocals and the musicianship. Interesting how both bands lost their original front man but persevered successfully.
