Alice in Chains' Layne Staley died from a mixture of heroin and cocaine, an autopsy and toxicology report revealed Monday. Laboratory results determined the singer died April 5, according to a spokesperson for the King County medical examiner's office, the same day fellow grunge pioneer Kurt Cobain committed suicide in 1994. Staley was found dead two weeks later, surrounded by intravenous drug paraphernalia in his Seattle apartment (see "Layne Staley, Alice In Chains Singer, Dead At 34"). The death certificate reads Staley's death resulted from "an acute intoxication due to the combined effects of opiate (heroin) and cocaine." The death was classified as "accidental." |

that makes more sense to me then anything i could have thought of on my own...layne did NOT glorify drugs or getting high. if anybody would do any reading at all about layne thomas staley they would see that he hated what the drugs were doing to him...i get sick to my stomach when i think about him being all alone when he took his very last breath. then to think that he had been deceased right at 2 weeks. this song will be played at my funeral. i will be 50 in a few months and i wouldnt give a flying flip if i live to be 100, this song will be played at my funeral...r.i.p.my sweet layne!!! |

| YOU are exactly right...idk why people that really really love layne dont know this...you can watch a few interviews and read up on some of what he said and thought and people would KNOW this...so nobody is wrong about their interpretations because it is whatever it is to YOU... | |

i appreciate what you wrote and i agree with everything you voiced. do you think their music would have been what it was if they, staley and cobain, had not had the tortured souls that they did? i wonder sometimes if they had not been in the place they were in, mentally, physically and chemically, would we be sitting here writing about somebody else. idk...i hate that they were so tortured. i hate that anybody on the face of this earth has to have an ending such as theirs...that tortures me way down deep in my soul...i think too much sometimes...i wish i could turn back the hands of time and help them through the hardest parts of their lives...but i cant...and that will torture me til the end of my existance... |

i think you nailed it drinkthepoison !!!! with everyone that has made decisions that changed the "natural" course of their life, there is a moment, at some point of, reflection. we look back and see where it all started and where it all got out of hand...and for most of us it is usually too late to go back and start completely over. and it does not have to pertain to drugs at all but for some of us it does. i sat in my bedroom last night and watched several of the live concerts of AIC; live at the moore, live in rio and 2 different ones with layne and mad season and then layne with second coming. and i turn on EVERYNIGHT the MTV unplugged AIC...the more i watch him, the more i listen to his voice, the more i read, the more i learn about layne thomas staley, the more i absolutely love him, his music and the better i start understanding his music and why he wrote what he did. although i never tried his drug of choice i had my own and it consumed my life to the point that my family including my kids didnt even recognize me. i was a hardcore,streetwalking, $1000 day crack smoking fiend...i guess i was too caught up in my own "hell" to have ever listened to or heard about AIC or layne. dont ask me how i was alive and in the world and never heard of them but i hadnt... i am clean and sober now, 5 yrs as of dec 4, and i was on my way to pick up my grand daughter up from school and i heard this song on the radio. it REALLY caught my attention. the singer was saying "im a man in a box" and mentally i thought ok remember these lyrics and you can go on youtube and see who the heck this is BECAUSE it had me completely into it...the sound of this mans voice, the beat the rhythm, the guitar the bass was kicking...the more i listened the more i was loving what i was hearing...so i get to the school and get on my new iphone4 and find my youtube app and type in "man in a box" and up pops AIC...so i go to the video and i laid my eyes on the lead singer and his tosseled messed up hair and those blue eyes...OH MY GOD I WAS IN LOVE...i decided right then that i was going to be their #1 fan of all times...lol in other words my addiction became HIM...ok so fast forward about 30 mins. got the grandchild, back home i immediately get on the computer to see this man singing this song...oh GOD its even better than i thought....so ok i want to know more more more more more about him. so i google AIC find out the names of the band memebers, LAYNE THOMAS STALEY, there it is now i have a name to go with this face...so i googled him and as i was looking and reading, i came across a photo of him with his birthdate and death date. it was like the floor fell out from under my feet and all i could do was sit and shake my head NO...i broke out in a sweat, got sick to my stomach and thought i was going to start throwing up...all of that within about an hour...i felt like i was on the biggest baddest roller coaster ever built by mankind...that was 6 months ago. i go on this site and there are a couple of others that talk about who wrote the song and the meaning behind the song and then there is a place for the listener to give their input. there are a few that i feel "get it" and understand it...and appreciate it. thank you "drinkthepoison" for putting the thoughts i had about this into words. |

the thing that kept him from "fully" loving her was the drugs. i have read so many articles where it was stated that he wanted her to get clean and she wouldnt. she wanted him to get clean and he wouldnt. the dugs destroyed them to the point where they went over the edge. her when she resorted to turning tricks and living on the streets to support her habit, getting sick and dying. laynes edge was the fact that he loved her but he couldnt "fix it" for her,. i read somewhere that she went to his place because she needed a place to stay and rest so he let her in BUT he had to leave to do a show or something, he had a prior obligation, he told her she could stay as long as she wanted but he had to leave. when he was able to go home he did and she wasnt there and then she died. he felt so much guilt that he couldnt get past the whole "demri saga" that he totally didnt give a shit anymore about anything. i also read somewhere that she couldnt "afford" to keep up with him. not that i understand that statement but it was said by band member. |

| thanks dude...i am so glad i took the time out to read the comments...when an addict reaches the point that layne was at, there is no way that the body can fight off even something as a common cold. when i sit and think of what his last 24 hours were like, i get really really sad and very disturbed(emotional) when i think of him, the condition his body had to have been in after being dead for two weeks...then in comes his mom and she had to see her babyboy like that.... | |

| the first time i heard this song it moved something inside of my spirit/soul. i close my eyes and i can picture layne all around me, smiling, not hurting not in pain, just his beautiful image swirling around and i find comfort when i close my eyes and hear this song. different people hear and feel different things when they hear layne sing. this song is so different though. when i see him in my minds eye, all of his battles are finally over...finally, my sweet sweet layne, the pain is all gone...finally my love...i love you with all of my heart and soul...one day baby, my day will come and i too will have defeated the demons that haunt those of us that battle them daily...5 yrs clean and sober i made dec 4th 2013...i listen to you sing, i look at at your beautiful face from beginning to the end and it breaks my heart to see you gradually wither away from us...i dont want to wither, want to live and be strong and tell the people about this amazing fella with an amazing voice named layne thomas staley...just for today that is my mission...r.i.p.my sweet beautiful prince... | |
| Mad Season – November Hotel Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| i feel a sense of peace when i hear this song...i dont know why but i do...i can lay back and hear this song and i know that layne isnt suffering anymore, his misery has finally come to an end...the music and the sound of his voice almost seem celestial to me. like its something from the "other side"...no more pain...no more torturing ones self...no more missing demri...just his spirit swirling around, floating from cloud to cloud...at least that is how i picture him when i hear this...i miss you terribly layne thomas staley...i hope and pray that you are at peace and you are finally finished with that damned ol demon.... | |
