    He was not just gifted but also a good hearted man who loved his friends. He gave home to Jerry when he was in need and then became their lead singer because he couldn't stand watching them "trying" with all these clowns.. He loved once, one girl and he gave all his heart there. Not everyone is doing all these. I don't choose to see him only as an addict or just as a huge talent but also as a good guy with a big heart. RIP Layne

    Layne was too real for all these self proclaimed music critics. They prefer something that's more marketable and less brutally honest.

    I'm not surprized that the music establishment didn't acknowledge Layne's passing, my ass is still chapped that Rollingstone didn't include him in the 100 greatest singers--which was a fucking travesty.

    Layne died from depression just as much as from heroin. If not for the depression so many drug users suffer from, the heavy drug use might not be in the picture. Many depressed people turn to drugs to numb the pain (temporary escape). If you take away the drugs, the depression is often still there; in many people it's there before they ever started doing drugs. So I say it's actually

    Sean's story about Melinda's phone number brings to mind that old rock and roll joke: What do you call a drummer who breaks up with his girlfriend? ... homeless.

    God I miss Layne. It's a fucking tragedy man. I know he doesn't get the recognition he deserves, but I don't think he would care. His fans love him and we know how fucking amazing he was. That's what mattered to him I think.

    The fact that they purposely brought in shitty singers just to attract Staley is awesome. Keen move

    The episode of MTV Unplugged with Alice in Chains was one of the finest tv moments I have ever witnessed!!!

    GOOD FOR THEM FOR LEAVING! Shame on the Grammys! What a farse! Layne was a legend and will always be. His longing to be famous to have his biological father come back to him is the most touching story. I have had so many friends die from drug addiction and one recently from heroin. These are good souls plagued by demons. He was no different. Such a dear dear soul. I wish I could have hugged him, saved him!

    Y'all wanna argue....all I have to say is that Jerry and Layne were MAGIC together. There will never be anything like them, ever again. RIP, my beloved Layne, and Jerry, I love you, always and forever. You are the singer of my soul, you say all the things I have inside me. <3

    Jerry is like the chill dad that is an assistant coach for little league that everyone liked more than the head coach
