    His speaking voice was just as beautiful as his singing voice but in such a different way. When he speaks he sounds so childlike and innocent, unsure of himself. And when he sings he's like a powerful rock god booming with raw emotion.

      You can tell by his voice here that he's Faded, If we were to find an example of his beautiful voice it would definitely not be this interview because you can actually hear him nodding out basically. Lol girls are so cute. If you only had a clue what type of hell this man put himself through you would not be saying that. You can only tell what he's been through if you were a complete drug addict. Laynes my favorite person in this whole world besides Jesus but it's because I've put myself through 13 horrible years of drug addiction and can actually feel his pain. Stop being so naive, it's embarrassing. Not being mean just so tired of people who don't have any idea about life and reality.

    Have listened to a couple of Layne's interviews and I must say his voice never changes as in reminiscent of a young innocent and shy young man, but with a backsplash of anxious naivety toward his music career as if to say that he is still lost in the mindset of, " I can't believe where I am today. I always thought I was a singer that fronted a band and that's it. Never thought in my wildest of dreams I would be where I am today."

      I feel all those emotions toward Layne, but MS can FO, I know a lot of personal stuff he did that was downright evil and he was never the nicest to Layne behind the scene’s because he was jealous, Layne still tried with him for years taking his crap because Layne was a sweet guy, there are many reasons MS was fired that the band never openly talked about, but they were definitely not secrets from the AIC team.

Thankful that a being like Layne existed in human form.

    • @danabomb100
      @danabomb100 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Kitty, my guess is the ‘misunderstood’ was how the press basically treated him like shit, assuming he was advocating the use of drugs-painting him as this dark figure who should be shamed (while Cobain was up on a pedestal 🤦🏻‍♀️-) ....when, in reality, he was simply laying his story right out there for everyone to soak in....that his choices and struggles were a major source of his pain and he was just being honest about it. Dude had more depth in his lil finger than most of the artists out there.

    • @winnie6203
      @winnie6203 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you. Some of the most beautiful souls are also the most broken. He was demonized, mocked and shamed. If it was a singer who had cancer and smoked cigarettes, I doubt they would be half this harsh. Also underlying depression is a beast that suffocates your entire being, hard to explain to people who have fortunately not had to deal with it. And if they have, one persons struggle is not the same as the next. Rip to a true legend.

    The primary topics people gave his songs were not where he was trying to hit one dimentionaly, he did something wide and new, anyone can relate to Alice in Chains, it's all about the feelings, the lyrics can fit anyone, that's why it'll keep reaching the youth over and over

    For the young only. If he was alive..like Chris Cornell,living in the past would be something he hated. Grace Slick said it best "No one over 40 should be singing rock and roll." She added " I would have to sing about emotions I don't even have anymore".
    When the Rolling Stones sing Time is on my Side? It now pathos for the nearing 80 year olds,right? or pathetic?

    • @Beadledom2024

      They said this because they don't know yet what it is yet to loose youth, hope, angst beauty. Age brings another form of disparity; one of silence, and of regret. If our older, the elder, were to band, it would be a quiet wailing, keeling, heard loud only within their own broken hearts. Not something to be caught on sound waves and shared...too bitter and broken for mass appeal. No doubt, Layne knows now. I almost hope you, Stan, do not.

      I see what you're saying but I truly believe Layne had some deep depression. He is just a vulnerable as any other human being. Even though he was embarrassed of his addiction he wasnt afraid to express it cause he new deep down it would help someone. His whole life he was battling himself and we were just listening to his crys for help through his music. The only thing that the industry has done was not recognized how talented and empathetic he was. They just put an easy label of a druggie on him, rather someone who was suffering.
