Why much less of a mention of Layne Staley's death??

he was even more-so involved in pj's life. sure, the tabloids blew up the eddie vs. kurt/pj vs. nirvana thing...but layne hung out with the band sometimes, mike and layne did mad season etc... he was an unbelievable artist in my eyes and i'm really curious to hear how his death had an impact on the band...we all know eddie's hidden song on lost dogs..

i have the pj20 book, which thus far has included just about everything. i'm only on the 1995 chapter so maybe that will talk about it.

    Absolutely brilliant wasn't he? :) I would have **loved** to see them live just once before he died.

    I can't believe it's ONLY been 10 years. That seems so long ago. Plus I guess seems longer to me because he had been pretty reclusive since around '96, other than that "Class of '99" thing, which I didn't even hear about until a couple of years ago. He pretty much kept to himself during those years. So when he died, that last I had seen/heard from him was MTV Unplugged. To me, it's almost like he's been gone 16 years.

    Thats the truth!! I wish I would have seen him and Shannon before they died... Two amazing frontmen who get little or no respect in this day and age

    Ha! SO true, another fantastic voice -- I still remember skipping classes in high school to go drink copious amounts of coffee and smoke while feeding quarter after quarter into the juke they had there to play No Rain one more time :lol:

    It's really like it was all yesterday, and 100 years ago all at the same time :shock:

    Layne is one of my heros and I thought the same thing when I watched the movie. However, I think CC had to make some big decision with this movie and this was one of them. You could make a film out of the time Layne spent with PJ and my god you cold make a film out of his life too. I think there was just way too much stuff that they cut a lot, and this was part of that edit.
