Unlike a post a few up, Layne was one of the inventors of the Seattle Grunge rock sound, and one to get the least credit. Along with Mudhoney, solely invited the sound ripped by many grunge bands. Unlike the post a few up, an AMAZING song writer who brought us such songs as "Nutshell", "Down in A Hole", "Frogs", "Sea of Sorrow", and the list goes on. A much more emotional writer than Eddie Vedder EVER will be. Mixed emotion and grunge, but thankfully never did "emo" music. Best singer, songwriter, and band.

Layne Staley put a whole movement on the map.

An amazing singer and songwriter. You can get lost in his voice and u can cry when u hear the lyrics. He is the lead singer of a wonderful band called Alice in chains. He has suffered from drug addiction most of his life and many of the songs he wrote were about his Struggling . He died from an O.D and was found on the couch 2 weeks later, when his body began to decompose. It's really sad that such talent has gone to waste but he will always be remembered by his fans and will always live through his music that will be there forever.

Layne Staley was the lead vocalist for the grunge-rock band Alice In Chains. He was also grunge-rock music's best vocalist EVER. Hands down. Kurt Cobain sucks compared to Layne. Layne died of overdosing on Herion and Cocaine in 2002. Layne Staley led a hard life, dealing with his parents' divorce, battling drug addiction and having to suffer through the death of his girlfriend, Demri Parrot. Rest in eternal peace, Layne. You are dearly missed, Layne, and will be remembered for a long, long time...

His wings no denied, Layne Staley died on April 5th, 2002. He will live forever in our memories. Listen to Nutshell, Down In A Hole, and Sea Of Sorrow. Layne had one of the best voices in music history.

Frontman for grunge band 'Alice in Chains'. He had a mesmerising voice and a troubled life. He died on April 5th 2002 in the worst way possible. He had taken a mixture of cocaine and heroin known as a 'speedball' and overdosed on it. The creepy thing was that his body was found two weeks after he had actually died. This is why you don't do drugs, kids\!

Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley both died on the same day (April 5th) and they were both heroin addicts. Is there some kind of connection here? I love Layne's voice on 'Down in a Hole'. It's hauntingly beautiful.

to compare layne staley with any other would be an insult. never before had there been(nor will there ever be again) an artist like him. his lyrics spoke of pain,defeature, and loss of hope. while some of his songs derived inspiration from his drug addiction, most presented the darkness of life that some of us are born to live with. he was man enough to show his frailty.... and how the world takes advantage of it. aside from his songwriting, staley's singing ability was and is the best the rock world has ever known. while the opinion of what the perfect voice sounds like varies person to person(though most rock fans agree on staley), none who have heard his music can deny the talent he possessed. the ease at which he manipulated octaves, not to mention the wide range he emcompassed, ranging from heavier songs like "MAN IN THE BOX" and "RAIN WHEN I DIE", to the beautiful melancholic pieces of "AM I INSIDE" and "NUTSHELL". his original singing style can be heard(poorly imitated) by many mainstream bands of the late 90's and up to today. Layne Staley was born on August 22, 1967 in Kirkland,Washington and passed away April 5, 2002. RIP
