Layne Thomas Staley (August 22, 1967 – c. April 5, 2002)

Yes Nirvana fans I do know that Kurt Cobain committed suicide on the same day years earlier but Layne and the music of Alice and Chains had a larger impact on my own journey through life.  If you're a AIC fan don't forget about that talented yet tormented soul we knew as Layne Staley.  Go ahead and pull out the old albums and remember.

I do all the time. It sucks that Kurt Cobain got martyred for killing himself when he wasn't a great musician at all and much better grunge and alt. bands around the same time got overshadowed because of it. Great post.
