11 years ago today...

[Squibbs]

Layne Staley died.

One of rock's all time great singers from my favourite band at the time.

This might help. New Mad Season.

Saw AIC and Screeming Trees in L.A. Layne had broken his foot and rocked the stage in a wheelchair. So dope.

Oh wow!

Yeah, late 80's early 90's was definitely a golden age for rock.

I'll listen to it later and let you know, although you might be right.

 

[MissMaidenMinx]

Wow, didn't realise it had been that long. He truly did have an awesome voice.

 

[Fata Morgana]

Sad indeed. Love Jar of Flies, especially Nutshell.

 

[pink]

I love Alice in Chains. So sad when he died.

That album was the soundtrack to my first summer in Lake Louise.

Sap is underrated.

 

[Squibbs]

I love Alice in Chains. So sad when he died.

I didn't bat an eyelash when Cobain died.

I did shed some tears when Layne did.

 

[Laurel]

Wow, has it really been 11 years? I remember the moments I heard of both Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley's deaths very vividly. Very sad. Such a waste.

 

[Laurel]

Shannon Hoon's death was another sad one for me. Also Bradley Nowell. I wasn't a huge Sublime fan, but I looooved his voice.

All heroin addicts...

Rock and Roll, baby.

 

[TildaS]

No idea who this was? But know of Kurt Cobain

This might help. New Mad Season.

Saw AIC and Screeming Trees in L.A. Layne had broken his foot and rocked the stage in a wheelchair. So dope.

Saw the Trees and Alice with Mudhoney and Nirvana circa 1989 at an old firehouse converted into a concert venue in North Seattle (Note to Indie: not the one in Ballard, the one closer to Northgate, it's been gone forever). Got so drunk, I pulled my pants down and peed in the middle of a crowd. Also had footprint shaped bruises on my back after falling into the mosh pit.

The opening bands were Forced Entry, Hammerbox and Beat Happening. Was golden age of grunge. Probably the best lineup at any show I saw outside of a few shows in Olympia at the North Shore Surf Club that also had a few K Records bands, in addition to lesser known labels.

 

[IndieSnob]

He was the first musician I ever saw score in real life.

P.S. Really Laurel? Blind Melon?

 

[Laurel]

I kinda like the song with the bumble bee video. So there.

I used to drive to my night job listening to AIC and Korn (on a compact disc! like an animal!). Really heavy music was so perfect at that time of night. I always had a soft spot for Korn because they're total loser weirdos from Bakersfield who somehow became rock stars and I think that's rad. Plus they rock live. Even with his oxygen tank freakiness. Or maybe because of it.

Memories.

 

[Liar]

Best album opener ever.

Hammerbox was damn good.
