Pretty much around the time Layne died (I was born April 5th, 1984, so Layne died on my 18th, Kirk on my 10th) would have been roughly around the time I first heard Alice in Chains. (Fyi, I got into bands like Metallica and GnR, literally only months before.. prior to that I was into dance/techno only). Layne Staley and Chris Cornell both eventually became my favourite rock vocalists of all time.<br /><br />The first I fell in love with AiC was hearing Down in a Hole and then buying the Unplugged album. I know have everything they have done since, including Music Bank, Jerry Cantrell's Boggy Depot and Degradation Trip I and II.<br /><br />I love post-Layne AIC a lot too, which had me wondering whether if I was more of a Cantrell fan than a Staley fan. But when I listen to Mad Season and Tripod, and Man in The Box, I just love Layne... he is just awesome and beautiful. So is Jerry. They were like a sort of musical marriage that is almost entirely absent in the metal genre. Layne just wasn't meant for something so horrible as heroin.<br /><br />I have had substance abuse and depression related issues for many years. AiC are the only band that reaches me in those depths and pulls me out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11345199281204912013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113810428079736580.post-10174706407403917932015-01-03T02:29:42.128-06:002015-01-03T02:29:42.128-06:00Unique portrait, I like it.

Yet I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I got the album shortly after and I was flabbergasted with the simple yet rocking melodies in it. <br /><br />It got me thinking, rock music was back to common people. See, I grew up with the likes of Guns 'n Roses, Metallica, etc; you know, big performance, big solos. They placed themselves as gods among men.<br /><br />Nirvana was totally different. It was within your reach. If they can express themselves, so do we. Yes, us, the wannabes with a guitar. Seattle sound, for me, was the realization that music is by the people, for the people. <br /><br />I was at their second to last concert in Switzerland, and I still remember how Kurt was in front of me. He seemed sad, but when he played, he was a whole different person. The music was flowing from his body, I shit you not. <br /><br />Then few weeks after, he shot himself. As the circle must be closed, I saw that on MTV again, while playing NBA Jam in a local arcade. I stopped playing immediately and put In Utero cassette (remember that?) in my walkman (it was an Aiwa, they don't even have that brand anymore). I played Radio Friendly Unit Shifter, the song with which they opened the concert. "I love you for what I am not", he sang. <br /><br />Few years later, my mom died from cancer. <br /><br />I guess you know which line I sang all time whenever I have a guitar on me at the time. <br /><br />ranggahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14568434396142836826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113810428079736580.post-77879658209835943032013-01-08T07:28:18.908-06:002013-01-08T07:28:18.908-06:00Of course i meant NIRVANA and awesome TRACK!Of course i meant NIRVANA and awesome TRACK!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113810428079736580.post-46152693913188551892013-01-08T07:25:43.139-06:002013-01-08T07:25:43.139-06:00I like the new track the surviving members of nirv...I like the new track the surviving members of nirvaba made with paul mccartney.
