It’s easy to talk shit about an addict, but when you do, remember that you’re making fun of a sick person. And a fellow human being. We only have one world to share. Try to put some positivity into it.

      Rotting away in your 20s trapped in neverending suffering is hardly "freedom." By 1996 he was 27/28 years old but looked and moved like a very ill, frail 90 year old. Oh yeah, he really experienced "freedom."
      He was under contractual obligations which also is a lot worse in many ways than "working for the man."

    When they made this you could tell Layne was barely holding it together. He breaks my heart. When he joined Mad Season they were all in recovery except Layne and they had hoped they could help him.
    Sad thing is, he didn't want help. I think he was resigned to dying.
    "Slow suicide's no way to go". Everyone around him knew and nothing helped. The worst thing about the end of his life is how alone he really was. To have been dead that many days and the only reason anyone knew was because there was no activity on his checking account.

Sad thing is, most people who are always making joke, are also sometimes the most depressed people as well.

    I saw Layne's final arena show at Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Missouri, on a bill with the original lineup of KISS in 1996. Nobody knew. People complained that the sound was off and basically ignored AiC at the time. They had a reputation of opening for difficult to open for bands. In 1991, I saw them open for Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth. Those fans are not nice. AiC stuck to their guns and won over many thrash metal fans including fans of Slayer, the hardest crowd to please in all of rock at the time.

    After I read in David de Sola's book about how, in his final years, Layne would go to this comic book store near his condo and just shuffle around, high on dope and look at cool stuff, knock things over and then buy whatever caught his attention... my heart was hurting so much that I needed to watch this again to cheer myself up. There's just something about that scene I think we can all relate to cause when you're in this really dark place, stuff from your childhood and childlike things can make you feel better in a way that no drug can. I don't know if I can really describe why picturing him in that store just is do immensely sad but I hope I'm not the only one who feels that way. It's like, he had nothing to live for at that moment but he still tried to make himself feel a bit better.
    Even though Layne's clearly a bit absent in this video, he's still joking around and Jerry as Nona and Sean as the clown are literally one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.

      great concept but i have a feeling it would turn out like that new mötley doüche biopic: full of lies, focusing more on drugs than the music, full of lies, choosing all the wrong actors (both looks and personality wise), full of lies, trying too hard, full of lies, etc... and alice deserves much better than that.
