Imagine going to rehab and meeting the guitar player of pearl jam and he asks you if you want to make a band with members of Alice n chains and screaming trees. Lol that's crazy
Rehab... You never know who you're gonna meet! My best mate's dad went to rehab in the early 1980s, and one of his rehab buddies was... Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzie! 🤔😁😎 (There was another guy he bumped into. I've got a feeling it was Eric Clapton but I'm not certain about that. I _think_ it was though.)
It's a crazy moment in Time I wish Layne could just pulled it back together, different things where our in 2002 Suboxone, but we also had the oxycotin epidemic...So he wasn't heading into a good time period.
Layne and Mark Lanegan wrote and recorded "Long Gone Day" in an HOUR one day just kind of off the cuff....Layne would write a line, then Mark would write a line. In the end, a masterpiece. Amazing how much artistic talent the world has lost over the years.
I loved Mad Season!!! Barrett Martin 🥁 Mike McCready 🎸 John Baker Saunders (bass) and Layne Staley 🎤 RIP Layne and John 💝😇😇 Barrett looking wonderful!! Mad Season was amazing!!
He is SUCH an underrated drummer! When I saw that AIC, Screaming Trees show at a now defunct club called " The Edge" which was an amazing venue for live music _in Orlando, Fl. I wasn't familiar with theTrees. But I left that show a big fan. Mark Lanegan was an amazing singer and I have never seen one person move as much air as Barrett Martin. He looked and dressed like..Buddy (?) the main bully from the movie "Christine" and his fluffy 70s shag was bouncing to the beat. Good stuff....
@@charlesw.4576 I do agree, very underrated drummer, loved Barrett Martin in Screaming Trees and mannn in Mad Season just absolutely amazing!! Love the blusey and Soulful sound and I love the sax, just totally amazing!! Thank you for responding, Charles W!! RIP Layne Staley and John Baker Saunders 😇😇
@@WillJM81280 HE had ever seen. HIS personal experience. No discredit to the awesome drummers you mentioned. Also, Sepulturas drummer was very powerful in concert. But again, just my perspective / experience.
@@WillJM81280 rush had powerful drumming? really? and those other bands you named are awful. you also need good music to go with the drumming or it doesn’t matter how good the drummer is.
Huge fan of both Mark and Layne. The Mad Season record is in my all time favorite albums list. Very bluesy and extremely cool. It’s a total departure from anything Layne was doing with Alice In Chains. It’s almost as if Layne was reinventing himself.
100% agree. Even Mike McCready's guitar work is very different vs the stuff he was doing in Pearl Jam at the time. Mad Season's Above is a timeless masterpiece.
@@carolyndavis1045 If you’re talking the general world population, yes. If you are talking amongst his professional peers, you clearly have not heard of bands like Tool, Gojira, Meshuggah, and Rush. Those bands have amongst the greatest drummers ever.
@@WillJM81280 music isn’t an athletic sport where the most technical drumming=best. its self expression and aesthetic beauty that are primary values of music, anything else is secondary. based on a rational understanding of music as opposed to your irrational understanding, yes berret may be one of the best of his generation which I agree with and so did the guitarist for mad season who would sit back stage at screaming trees shows just to listen to berret drum. who would know, a nobody on youtube with bad taste in music or a successful guitarist.
Absolutely loved Mad Season and still do I totally wish Layne could've gotten straightened out.... we lost a ton of great music when he gave up I would love to hear the second album completed
I’ve read and watched everything on Layne that’s out there…and Layne, from everything I’ve read and seen, was not sober at that time. MAYBE for a short time just in the studio…but I don’t even believe that.
Yeah weird that he lied about that... That album barely got made because Layne was a no show for recording sessions or would show up and spend two hours locked in a bathroom getting high
I was always a fan of Larry Staglin. Powerful voice and his polka grunge band Shirley Out Of Bondage was highly influencial. Too bad about the brautwirst addiction. Sausage is a bitch:(
Staley has been pronounced wrong for years even when he was alive people would say Stanley I crack up every time when someone says it LOL I'm like it's not hard to remember people 🤣
We're talking about a guy that seems to know the drummer here. And you guys are telling me that he doesn't know the correct pronunciation?? Go and research the British opium trade and see who was in charge in the middle of the 19th century. The "Stanley's"!! The Earl's of Derby. Why is that relevant?? If you really want to know why this is relevant then humble yourself and start praying!! Maybe the most high will show you.
Rip Staley. Amazing voice. That’s really cool he let those kids in. Most of the people who listened to that music were probably Youth. I know that kids really liked Nirvana. I don’t know if AIC was as popular. I wasn’t even born yet lol.
Just for some trivia in this area. As it turns out AIC was actually on the scene out there before Nirvana and were gaining popularity. Nirvana released Smells Like Teen Spirit and the rest is history. I personally think that is sad because AIC was so much more talented. Layne’s voice alone blew Kurt out of the water. Staley was one of those unique voices that don’t come along often.
@@ENDINGWOKENESSNOW I like both their voices. Kurt hadn’t nurtured his voice as much so he was more sloppy than Laynes, but Kurt also had a crazy personality with his music that people liked.
I'd say Nirvana and AIC were pretty much on the same level popularity wise. Nevermind was huge but Incesticide didn't do much. In Utero was successful but it was nowhere near the popularity of nevermind
When CDs became a thing instead of buying cassettes, I bought my first two CDs: 1) Hum-you’d perfect an astronaut 2) Mad Season- Above It’s been 29 years and I still have those albums. Great music from first to last track.
A bit of video about Mad Season that didn't so much as mention Mark Lanegan. Jeesh. He did songs on that album and the deluxe version has songs he did on it by themselves. He was only Layne's best friend, or one of them.
Damnit I really wish they were able to finish that second Mad Season album. The first one was just too fucking cool. They really had something special.
Layne STALEY.. is the best of all time… that live at the Moore show is one of things I go back on so much… Don’t get me wrong I love aic. But mad season was another level..
arthur seemed mega cool in the lanegan pod but on this one everything about him seems a bit weird, and thats with me ignoring the "stanley" flubb because if we can all be honest that can happen to anyone easily
Such a huge fan of "Lane Stanley."
Right. Fark that kind of shit annoys me
Thought I heard that
I'm such a big fan of yours Mike. It's actually Mark.
He was a big fan of Alice in Chairs
Layne stanley??
The show at THE MOORE in Seattle was one of the best shows of all time in my opinion. Just unbelievable.
The NYC one was even better...
@@dreadsashoI was at both, Seattle was better but they were both great.
One of the best live shows ever. Zeppelin like in my opinion
The AiC show from the Moore is also amazing.
No doubt about it
The unmistakable Layne Stanley
Da one and only
Huge fan.
Ha ha he's a huge fan!!!
"Wake Up" is a masterpiece of a track. The whole album is phenomenal.
that song has gotten me through the worst of times. Never will be able to thank him for it. RIP Layne
"Wake Up" what a masterpiece. I love AIC anything Layne made.
Hearing Layne’s mom cover that song absolutely broke me. If you haven’t heard it yet, definitely look it up. 😥
Listen to Jar of Flies kid
@@pauljones8801 mad season above record is better than jar of flies, even though that’s a great album too kid
Mad Season and AIC are two totally different animals that can't be compared.
Both Above and Jar Of Flies are nothing short of masterpieces.
When I was getting high, id play wake up on repeat and cry. Yet I kept slamming smack!
Damn, would kill to have heard that 2nd Mad Season album! RIP Layne and John🤘😇🤘
Barrett seems like such a cool guy. I really enjoyed listening to him here. Loved the Trees.
Imagine going to rehab and meeting the guitar player of pearl jam and he asks you if you want to make a band with members of Alice n chains and screaming trees. Lol that's crazy
Rehab... You never know who you're gonna meet!
My best mate's dad went to rehab in the early 1980s, and one of his rehab buddies was...

Love Layne man, wake up was the voice of a God. Wow Layne gave His guest list to kids tryin to get in.
Layne and Mark Lanegan wrote and recorded "Long Gone Day" in an HOUR one day just kind of off the cuff....Layne would write a line, then Mark would write a line. In the end, a masterpiece. Amazing how much artistic talent the world has lost over the years.
I always compare Long Gone Day with Don’t Follow. Both Layne’s verses are so un fucking believably amazing
Their best music was when they were high, they both will even admit that quote! 🤘🏻💋🤍🩵💙🪽💋

One of my all time favorite albums, above was and still is a great album!
Im a big fan of AIC and Mad Season. Layne really spoke to me epscially when i was in my 20's.
The tragedy is what made Layne's art so moving, beautiful, and haunting. RIP
2pack, Jimmy hendrix, and lane Stanley are amongst some of the greats
Its Staley BTW not Stanly lol just letting you know 😉

Such a nice guy and a great drummer. Gosh I´d like to hear those Mad Season 2 songs...
This cat was the most powerful drummer I had ever seen when he was with the Screaming trees on that tour. Orlando in..92 or 93.
You definitely need to see more drummers. Rush (when Neil was alive), Tool, Meshuggah, Gojirah, etc. Those are powerful drummers.
@@WillJM81280 no he doesn't needs to. It's his point of view and experience and he feels that way.
And Barrett Martin is an amazing drummer.

River of Deceit subconsciously playing in my head throughout this video. Legends
I love this brother
When CDs became a thing instead of buying cassettes, I bought my first two CDs:
1) Hum-you’d perfect an astronaut
2) Mad Season- Above
It’s been 29 years and I still have those albums. Great music from first to last track.
The incomparable Layne Stanley. Never heard of him. HUGE fan.
Barrett Martin is such an underappreciated MONSTER drummer! Some of the coolest beats. Think 'Dime Western' from Dust. Just awesome.
I love Layne all the musicians.
Really great video!!! You guys really are Legends!
A bit of video about Mad Season that didn't so much as mention Mark Lanegan. Jeesh. He did songs on that album and the deluxe version has songs he did on it by themselves. He was only Layne's best friend, or one of them.
The interviewer dude seems totally baked - lol I thought it was John Frusciante at first.
Lanagens book talked about that tour. How Mark almost had his arm amputated in Quebec from shooting up infection
I don't know much about Barrett Martin but he seems like a really cool dude to talk to. Great storyteller. And drummer obviously.
Damnit I really wish they were able to finish that second Mad Season album. The first one was just too fucking cool. They really had something special.
Love me some Lane Stanley.
If you’re a huge fan then you know he was Layne Staley. Or Lane Elmer
Interviewer- I love Alice in Chains
Also interviewer- Oh by the way which ones Alice ?
yup yup
Lane Stanley? What about Chris Cornhole and Eddie Wetter?
😂😂😂
😂 geeezuz…I heard it right off, can’t believe it
I saw dirt tour at the Rivera in Chicago and it was effin amazing
Rip Stanley haha
Lot of wisdom on display here for sure
My favorite drummer from that period. Playing with Nando Reis was a plus.
I'm sorry I don't know much a bout this guy but since live àt the Moore this has been on of my favorite drummers
Cmon how u gonna get his name wrong lmao
Stanley lane is my favorite singer too!!!
I had a college roommate named Stanley Lane 😂. His nickname was Shady Lane.
Layne did seem so happy playing with Mad Season!
Always thought Barrett Martin would have been a better fit in Pearl Jam than Jack Irons. Definitely a better sticksman, that's for sure .
Mad Season is beyond great completely below the radar
Barrett Martin. Screaming trees. Mad season. A fantastic drummer. Do yourself a favor and check out at least the first Walking papers album.
I was so shocked at him saying Layne Stanley I literally recoiled. Jfc lmao
I would like to Watch It complete
Such a big fan of Lane Stanley too
Huge fan of Layne Stanley? What a chump.
It’s Staley!
Such a huge fan…..yet you don’t know his last name.
Alison Shame and Lane Stanley are my 2 favorite people ever too.
Layne STALEY.. is the best of all time… that live at the Moore show is one of things I go back on so much…
Don’t get me wrong I love aic. But mad season was another level..
I love Alison Chains and their singer Layne Stanley.
Layne Stanley, good god
What the f? and he’s such a big fan
Yikes....interviewer loses all credibility on the opening question....c'mon dude 🙉😂
What became of the songs from the second Mad Season album?
Please see PJs “No Code” for the answer to that question……………………j/k
Layne is such a talent and tragic life
I can rehab my self when i only party on the weekend...
I didn’t know Layne changed his last name to Stanley
He always was a Stanley.
gotta love “layne stanley”
But he’s a big fan. He must know best. 😂
“What was Layne Stanley like? I’m such a huge fan of his; so much so, that I googled his name last night and already forgot it”
I'm a huge fan of StaNley too.
Cool guy Barrett.
The guy's such a huge fan that he doesn't even know his name.... what a dope.
STALEY! ...... that is all
Lanegan mentioned how grateful he was to receive royalties off the first Mad Season album.
Layne Stanley?
arthur seemed mega cool in the lanegan pod but on this one everything about him seems a bit weird, and thats with me ignoring the "stanley" flubb because if we can all be honest that can happen to anyone easily
Host is like "Lenny Stanley is a musical hero of mine"
Rip layne staley
who gave this guy a radio show?!??
Such a huge fan I don't even know how to pronounce his name
0:04 Stanley?
Layne was not sober during Mad Season.
Layne Stanley..... you fucking put some respect on that name.
McCready brought in Layne to work with sober artists hoping it would spur him to get clean.
So there are songs with Layne we have never heard..he said there were 20 songs for the second album.
I dont know. Above being the only Mad Season album makes it so special.. I don t need any other mad season albums
Why was Layne taken from us so early!
who is Hosting this. I can't think of where I know him from.
Layne Stanley. Never heard of him.
I don't think Layne or Mark were ever sober.
THAT is Barrett Martin? How fkin old does he look!?
80 at least
What was LAYNE STANLEY like I’m such a huuuuge fan…. What in the ever living Fck!
Damn Barrets starting to look like a sweetheart version of Chris Holmes
