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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      natty boyo Coming from experience, most people who, personally, are “Dark” tend to always be cracking jokes around other people, and usually have a pretty good humor. I’ve come to find that people who are extreme on one side of whatever spectrum, are very easily able to also go, or relate into the other side. Sad thing is, most people who are always making joke, are also sometimes the most depressed people as well.

    I wish I could have talked to layne, kurt, Chris, Chester, Scott all of them. Tell them that they’re loved and valued as human beings and not just as musicians and famous headbangers. I feel like these people weren’t told enough how much they were loved by people they wanted to care about them. I know efforts were made by the band mates and family, but damn there’s so many kind words I want to say to these people.
