My mom claims Layne had HIV. Interestingly enough the people who told her Layne had HIV were all people who knew Layne.

they should focus on the last months of Layne's life when he weighed 100lb and was cut off from everybody in his life apart from his dealers and never left his shit and piss filled apartment

Normies don't know who layne is. Hell, they don't know what "grunge" even is. I used to love AIC personally but most people haven't heard of them (at least where I'm from) and nirvana was just a superior band.

>>85811614

yes

>>85811614
Yes, but for some reason they were never as big as Nirvana despite being a better band. There's no good reason for that either. I guess the world got itself in a big damn retarded

>>85811614
Listen to a few of their songs and find out for yourself

But honestly, I think a very large majority of their songs are good, or at the very least, solid and passable

We can all agree down in a hole is their best song right?

>the Doors and Guns n Roses
Two bands who were better than the singer, and always were. And don't give me any of that "Jim Morrison was a genius" shite.
Most people who say that have never listened to The Doors' entire collection. Honestly, it's just tiresome and does discredit to talent like Robby Krieger, John Densmore and Ray Manzarek. Everybody knows Morrison's name but he was the worst part of the group.
That could be why someone like Scott Weiland could replace him. Yeeeeuuuucccch.

>>85812060
solid choice. for me its i stay away, something about the song is so eerie. makes me feel like a little kid each time i listen to it.

>>85811812
Because Kurt was far more handsome and charismatic than Layne.

As much as Cobain claimed to hate the mainstream he profited the most from it

When I was 14-17 I really loved Pearl Jam, nirvana, and AiC but never got into soundgarden at all. Was it autism?

Quit putting words in my mouth. The best part of the Doors imo was their music and not Morrison's stream of consciousness bs.

Weiland was the last great rock star bro.

>>85812422
i think its their blues-infused metal. cantrell was a one of a kind guitar player, even when it came to the technical aspects like finding tones (listen to nutshell solo). he and laynes voice combined had a truly "haunting" melody, as billy corgan described it. they showcased tons variation while staying within a specific mood.

I have no idea, aside from conspiracy theories, and his relationship with Courtney Love.

Layne was in such a bad state for those past few years, I doubt anyone would want to see a remotely accurate view of what he was like. I'm from Seattle and I had ties to the music scene; lots of rumors spread about what Layne looked like and how bad he'd gotten, including stuff about missing fingers, cysts, and other deformities.

After he died, news came out that once a week he would hang out in the bar he lived above. It was news because no one ever recognized him. That's how fucked up he was.

Cobain killed himself at the height of his fame, of course he is. Cornell is only being remembered well now because he just died; not long ago, I remember his image was mostly as a washed-up former rock star who had been struggling to stay relevant for years. His solo career was usually mocked, and the Soundgarden reunion was hyped, but mostly seen as a cynical "he can't do anything else" kind of move.

People were fawning over Layne right after his death, too. It's the famous death's go: they make everyone love the dead guy until they forget, with the exception of young, attractive people like Cobain.

Such a killer three song streak, right at the beginning of the album too.
Seriously "Them Bones" perfectly captures the mood of the album and showcases it immediately

>>85813921
The Deleo Brothers are very talented on guitar and bass. Dean is a better guitarist that Cantrell (who is my favorite guitarist). Weiland has a voice I like listening too. I'm not saying he's great, but I like it. Talent wise I always thought STP was better than my absolute favorite band AiC.

because even though you may not think they're superior, songs like Smells Like Teen Spirit, Lithium, Come as You Are, Heart Shaped Box, All Apologies and About a Girl were extremely popular and catchy
keep in mind they only had 4 albums in a few years, then the charismatic lead singer dies in mysterious circumstances
>kardashian
i know you don't like nirvana or cobain, but that's a pretty retarded comparison to make

I still remember the day Layne Staley died like it was yesterday. Me and my friend Paul were making fun of the spanish kids with velcro shoes in 7th grade shop class and next thing I know the loudspeaker goes off and has the guidance counselor on ittelling me to report to the office, I go in and my uncle Darrell who I havent seen since I was a toddler was standing there with this look of emptiness and shit. “Get in the car dude,” he said and I am thinking the worst has happened. Well I ask what was wrong and he just looked at me and said, “Layne OD’d,” and I asked him who the fuck that was. He took out a cassette and popped it in the tape deck, cranked the volume up, and passed me a joint even though he knew I never smoked before. We took off and Alice in Chains – The Rooster played all the way thru, we were both stoned silent the whole time and my mind was completelyblown. “That singer is dead now man,” and from there on out I have just had this insane outlook on life.

NOPE. Nevermind produced four #1 singles (and Top Ten in 13 foreign markets), five total charting singles, and sold 30 million copies globally, and went on to reissue that album twice. Both reissues charted in every single country in the world where it was released... 20 and 25 years respectively AFTER the first issue. From ONE abum. One. You know how much time elapsed between the release of the first and fourth singles? 14 months. That's how massive a phenomenon it was.

And In Utero had roughly the same success less than 18 months later. Nirvana is one of the biggest and most influential bands in history. How you could be this ignorant is beyond me.

>>85811228

He was like 80 something pounds when they found him.

>>85814590
Then he unbuttoned his pants, despite being flaccid he was a solid 6 inches. My heart was rushing but at the time I blamed it on the weed. Now of course I'm open with my bisexuality but that's another story.
He placed his hand behind my head, I thought he was going to hug me and cry but no. He forced my face towards his penis. It had this faint smell, it stunk but I couldn't help but keep smelling. It was intoxicating.
He made it throb then grabbed it, slapped my lips then told me, "fucking open your mouth or I'm telling that you were skipping school getting high".
I opened, then he jammed it in. I twirled my tongue around his head. Took a few seconds but he was finally erect.
He had restarted the tape and "Rain When I Die" played as I was abused.
He took me back to school but yea. Dirt is hardcore.

Pearl Jam's unplugged was never going to be as good as Nirvana's or AiC's. And I say that as huge Pearl Jam fan. It was recorded right after Ten came out, so all they could really do was play basic version of songs from Ten and a few B-sides. Nirvana and AiC recorded theirs near the ends of their careers, and had a lot more stuff to draw on.

Aic didn't give any of them the "seal of approval" when claiming them as an inspiration. Btw being inspired by a band doesn't mean being a carbon clone, but you should've known that because Staind and AiC sound nothing alike

>>85811020
Staley had the best voice out of all the 90s grunge bands. He's widely considered to be one of the best singers in history based on his singing voice (as opposed to success of the band, etc).

Famous, but not really extremely influential. Mother Love Bone (and especially Andrew Wood), however, set the stage for grunge. Nirvana was just one of the bands that incorporated their style (along with other Seattle-area bands). Hell, half the guys went on to Pearl Jam (before doing Temple of the Dog). I love Nirvana too, but come the fuck on, guy.

40 yearoldfag here. Listened to all this stuff growing up. Never liked Nirvana because they were on mtv and radio fucking constantly. Same couple songs over and over again. AIC on the other hand wasn't so they seemed cooler to my angsty 90's teenage mind

>>85821572
They were signed to Atlantic in '92, the year of their debut, years after the debuts of each of the other bands. Their early work was straight mish-mash of funk rock and alternative before the corporate takeover.

>>85812060

They weren't. You probably only listened to five of their songs. Congratulations. Meanwhile I suffered through a two hour snorefest that was Trent Reznor's greatest hits playlist.

>>85821943
You didn't need to. I'm pointing out that they didn't actualize as the band we know them as today until their breakout album (suspiciously in the same year that Grunge blew up).

That is the one point of your post I take real issue with and it shows me you didn't even listen to those three albums. Did you? Be honest. What didn't you like about them?

They're really not, you can't put out a gajillion crappy albums and claim to not suck because your first one was decent.

>>85822708
Grunge is distorted heavy guitars, heartfelt lyrics, and a usually-somber tone. Neil Young can suck a dick, Queen did more to contribute. I say this because Andrew Wood had Freddie Mercury's stage presence and showmanship, AND Mother Love Bone had badass guitars.

Since we're talking about grunge, can we also talk about one of its offshoots? I actually don't even know the proper name for it, but I usually think of it as like "bar rock." Like, that grungy alt-rock that you would hear at a trashy bar. I'm talking Lit, Sugar Ray, Smashmouth, etc. Don't know why but I've been craving that stuff lately, I guess for nostalgia purposes.

>>85823344
I do enjoy Zappa, CCR, and Mother Love Bone. But Neil Young is the father of grunge music. Live Rust was a pretty grunge album, and in 1989 when he released "Freedom" with Keep On Rockin' in the Free World, he released the first modern 'alternative' album.

I can't help but wonder how old you are.

That's not the worst description ever, but it really had almost nothing in common with nu-metal.

>>85821861
Agree about STP being trash,, but let's not forget that AiC also started out as a literal glam band.

>>85823676
I remember Sugar Ray had a period where they were doing the whole thing with the turntables that a few nu-metal bands did, along with similar downtuned guitarplay. Maybe link a song or two?

>>85823814
That wasn't actually the band, it was just Staley in an earlier group with the same name. The actual band didn't form until Cantrell and Kinney recruited him in 1987, where Staley provided the band name.
