Billboard.com just reminded me, its the anniversary of Layne Staley being found dead today. Just thought some people would like to pay tribute.

    There was a thread on April 5th cause that was the day he was said to have died.

    Hard to believe it was 2 weeks later that he was found huh?

    Shows how secluded he was from the outside world in the last months/weeks of his life.

    RIP Layne

    RIP Layne.

    I don't think its a case of people not looking for him, but the fact that no-one must have called him or kept in touch for that long. I can't imagine not speaking to my family for two weeks or more, but I guess its not for me to judge. Everyone has busy lives to lead I suppose.

    Over the last 10 years or so, I have heard more Staley-influenced vocals from other bands, than anyone else. That is the ultimate tribute
    I'll keep taking punches
    Untill their will grows tired
