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.

    Layen Stayley rules :)

    he isnt mentioned much in the PJ20 book either. there is a beautiful book called "Grunge is Dead" by Greg Prato that is quite beautifully written and has interviews with close friends and family of Layne .... a good book all round.

    Saw AIC once on the Dirt tour in the UK. awesome. but messed up....

    and "Wake Up" by Mad Season..... what a song. what. a. song.

    Mad Season was just totally "there"
    How can you help but be deeply moved by that music?
    It just seeps up inside your soul and takes over completely
    Gives me chills

    and there you go....Layne was such a huge factor in Mike's life...but it is what it is

    And yes...Mikee...I would too..it would be difficult to get through for us....but a well-deserved honor if done "right" and with respect

    Layne died in 2002 and they hardly covered anything from 2000 on in the movie. It was mostly on the early years of the band.

    I would say as far as telling the story of the band, KC had a bigger impact, whereas Staley's death was more of a personal thing for the guys, if you get what I mean. Also, Crowe pointed out in an interview the the footage of Ed and KC dancing was the big piece of archival footage that they found.

    With 3 hours taken up by the 2 extra films and the half hour of bonus footage that still doesn't leave much room for Staley.
