Everyone take a minute today for Layne Staley. Gremmie95 suggestion was to listen to some Jar of Flies today.

    Staley died April 5th.

    Someone has their grunge hero deaths messed up or is it reference to song 4/20/02?

    that is the most depressing part. being dead for 2 weeks before someone discovers it. especially when the someone was Layne.

    WE can at least remember him on these days (the 5th and the 19th or 20th) so, it's not like there is a limit to the amount of thought one can send a soul.

    Why? Do you think your view is unpopular?

    well, that's what happens when you're a drug addict... too bad for him. great and all, that's what was coming for him.

    :eek: Are you asking so that you can see them? Of course there are pictures of him when he was found. They would have been taken by the forensic / police team.
    As for them being publically available, I would hope not.

    Why commemorate the tragedy of his death day. We should all cherish the day he was born instead. 8/22 is a much better day.

    I like 4/20 for other reasons, but goddamn, why are there so many depressing events surrounding this date?

    i like to celebrate Layne's life. I know he is gone, which is sad, but we have his music to continue on. It just sucks that he is gone. :( RIP Layne.

    you can listen jar of flies everyday. just don't go see this new alice in chains band. i know jerry wrote and sang in half the songs, but i think it is disrespectful to layne to have some shmuck up there singing his songs under the original name. same goes for blind melon.

    saw them twice last year on their first tour and they totally rock.. was too young to see the real AIC but this is nice:)

    but they only played their hits, no special acoustic + electric setslists etc..

    i understand there is a need for people to get their alice fix in, i just won't do it. To me layne was one of the great vocalists and i just couldn't watch anyone else try to mimic him.

    seeing anyone but layne up there singing those songs would break my heart. I just couldn't do it... and I never even saw him live.
