HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "death_cause" is not recognized
Layne Thomas Staley (August 22, 1967 – April 5, 2002) was an American musician who served as the lead singer and co-songwriter of the rock band Alice in Chains, which he founded with guitarist Jerry Cantrell in Seattle, Washington in 1987. Alice in Chains rose to international fame as part of the grunge movement of the early 1990s. The band became known for his distinct vocal style, as well as the harmonized vocals between him and Cantrell. Staley was also a member of the supergroups Mad Season and Class of '99. By mid-1996, Staley was out of the public spotlight, never to perform live again. Staley also struggled throughout his adult life with depression and a severe drug addiction, culminating with his death on April 5, 2002.
Layne Thomas Staley was born to Phillip Blair "Phil" Staley and Nancy Elizabeth Staley (née McCallum) in Kirkland, Washington. He was seven years old when his parents divorced, after which he was raised by his mother and stepfather, Jim Elmer. He was raised Catholic. He took his stepfather's name while enrolled in Meadowdale High School in Lynnwood, and was known for some time as Layne Elmer. In late 2001, shortly before his death, he would describe the experience of witnessing his parents' divorce: "My world became a nightmare, there were just shadows around me. I got a call saying that my dad had died, but my family always knew he was around doing all kinds of drugs. Since that call I always was wondering, 'Where is my dad?' I felt so sad for him and I missed him. He dropped out of my life for 15 years." In that same interview he hinted that his parents' break-up and his father's drug use were at least partially responsible for his own drug problems, and also said that he was convinced that if he became a celebrity his dad would return.

After the Seattle Symphony/Mad Season portion of the show at the Benaroya Hall (see video from Xanaland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2lAp3YlHMw ) a special surprise happened when members of Temple of the Dog reunited (Mike McCready/Jeff Ament/Matt Cameron/Chris Cornell/Stone Gossard) and played "Call Me a Dog" and "Reach Down". After this a special tribute to Layne Staley was done with Mike McCready (Pearl Jam), Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees/Walking Papers), Sean Kinney (Alice in Chains), Duff McKagan (GNR/Walking Papers) & Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam/Soundgarden) with a moving version of Mad Season's song "All Alone". No video was allowed during the Seattle Symphony portions of the show and with Mad Season but you might find some video on YouTube from others who did. The venue did rec...
This is perhaps the most well-done and all encompassing documentary ever compiled on the topic of the rise and fall of Grunge. It aired just months before Layne Staley was found dead of a heroin overdose, and it contains music not only from from the big four, but also early pioneers of the Seattle Sound like Swallow and Blood Circus.

This is a rare interview with Layne Staley from a rare Alice in Chains promo CD. The Cd booklet had all the interview questions and the tracks were divided into answers. That is why you see the questions in the video. It would be hard to follow the interview without the questions. This interview was produced and conducted by Don Kaye Recorded at Bad Animals, Seattle This is my first Youtube video so please comment and tell me if there is anything wrong or if I suck. Its the only way I will learn.

Layne Staley interviewed by Chris Hazard of the band Funhouse. And, the story behind this video clip is as follows : Layne and Chris were hanging out, and somehow Chris was appointed as the Interviewer, and, Layne and he did what any young rock stars would do before a filmed interview....smoke 2 big fatties together. As you can see, Layne and Chris are clearly baked out of their minds. Please note that Jerry Cantrell plays the role of the straight man ( he didn't get high for the interview) Hence, he's still alive. Bonghits kill? Perhaps? - Interview for MetalHead Magazine, Directed by Modi.
layne staley talking about his most embarrasing moment
In una notte nera
sbattuto da una tempesta
un gommone sotto la luna di chi va a cercare fortuna lontano
il mare si fa infame quando si sbatte forte
si fa amica la morte
nessuno si salv.. da quella disperazione
e quando usci il sole per quei pescatori
che li trovarono avvolto
tra le lenzuola un bimbo
che li trovarono avvolto
tra le lenzuola un bimbo
Gennaro il nero .. nato in mezzo al mare
mare che bacia tutte le terre
Gennaro il nero cerca la luna
che si abbraccia con una stella
passo' il tempo e il grano maturo'
crebbe a Napoli tra i palazzi e le macchine
ma cercava quella terra
da dove veniva la sua pelle scura
con una gran paura in corpo ripet.. il viaggio dei suoi genitori
e i suoi occhi rividero
quella notte piena di male
e i suoi occhi rividero quella notte piena di male
Gennaro il nero .. nato in mezzo al mare
mare che bacia tutte le terre
Gennaro il nero cerca la luna
