Reckoning Time (Layne Staley)

Remind your mom she needs to take you to the eye doctor

Slinging mud here

Just personal preference.

good band but they're no screaming trees

Cantrell wrote almost everything. I'm pretty sure the only song Layne wrote on Dirt was Angry Chair.

fpbp

their best album imo (self titled) was written mainly by Layne

Wrong. Google it

cantrell was the main creative force in the band but layne wrote a lot of the lyrics and melodies. angry chair and hate to feel were 100% layne compositions. the stacked vocal harmonies that were a central part of the band's sound starting with dirt were developed entirely by layne.

i don't think their self titled is anywhere near as consistent as dirt but it has a few amazing songs. what are your top 3 from it?

Ima keep it real with you guys the grunge era's music output sucks. AIC has some bangers though.

>Ima keep it real with you
Stopped reading there.

imma be real with you chief, the only shitty grunge band was pearl jam

>This man was a better artist, and in a better band, than Kurt Cobain
correct
>thus deserving recognition of the best band of the early 90s
No, that would be Fugazi

Fugazi peaked in the 80s and the 00s though.

Nirvana sucks, Soundgarden sucks. So much shitty music got released during the early 90's.

Fugazi doesn't have to be at their peak to be the best band of the early 90s

That's a huge misconception. He wrote over 12 AIC songs all by himself and co-wrote all others excluding Rooster, Down in a Hole and Brother which were sort of Jerry's personal songs. He wrote every single Mad Season song too. And even did the album cover. I know it's epic these days to be all "yeah but Jerry is so underrated and the actual mastermind xD" because it seems like a lot of people remember Layne more, but it's justified. Jerry gets enough praise where praise is due. Fuck man. Layne's death still fucks me up. No teeth, losing two fingers, going to Toy's R' Us at night to buy vidya so kids wouldn't have to be scared when they see him in his final state, being found weeks after when basically only a stain on his couch was left, never getting over Demri, his lisp in Unplugged, get born again and class of 99... Just so sad. Kurt's suicide is only romanticized because it's easy to understand he was probably the most handsome out of the Seattle grunge movement.

Same feelings bro

nigga look like lil pump

Layne had the most grunge death of them all imo. In retrospect, it makes his lyrics and singing authentic. Also, unplugged performance was fucking awesome but terribly sad.

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.

opthalmologists can't fix face blindness

>Most handsome
Nigger what did you just say? Cornell was a better musician than all of them put together. Better singer, better guitar player, better composer, overall better musician and everything else. Layne at least did alright, That wankstain cobalt shouldn't even be on this discussion. Fucking MTV brainwashing tool.
