This is my first tattoo. I was thinking about it for a few weeks but the other day I woke up and decided to just go and get it done. The lyric is from River of Deceit by Mad Season, such a beautiful song. What does everyone think?

discussion A video about Rooster, and the friendship that made Dirt: Layne and Jerry

5 Upvotes

I made a short video (about 4.5 min, in Italian with subtitles if you want to turn them on) on Alice in Chains and Dirt. It isn't really about the drugs, it's about Layne and Jerry's friendship, the two voices leaning on each other, and Rooster, written by a son to understand his father and sung by his friend.

It's a small channel, so honest feedback is welcome, especially if I got a detail wrong.

video At 2:44, Layne looks straight at the camera like he’s staring right into your soul, and then he just looks away honestly this is my favorite version of the concert because of how symbolic that moment is. I don't see it as some cliché cry for help or anything I just see a tired, bored guy who didn

music Your favourite unplugged song

74 Upvotes

I thought nutshell was my favourite but I actually think it’s down in a hole. It’s perfect. I don’t know if Layne ever realised how well he come across doing unplugged and I know he wasn’t well at the time but it’s absolutely beautiful. I love sludge factory as well, even with all the cock ups. I so wish they’d done rotten apple

other My daughter is an art major. I asked for Layne in her style to use as a background.

This are a few versions of what she gave me, I think she killed it.

Please Excuse the water mark, she’s had people claim her work in the past so I asked her to add it.

i made this Rotten Apple Vocals for a cover I’m working on

6 Upvotes

I wanted to reach out to the subreddit because I am doing a tribute to Layne and just AIC as a whole and I wanted opinions on this specific section. I want to do Layne justice here, but maybe where I’ve been listening to it over and over I don’t like the sound. Is there anything that I’m lacking or needs fixed? Also to note, I’m not trying to imitate Laynes vocal style. Any recommendations or tips will help!

Just come across this from 6 years ago.. started to watch Corey Taylor attempts at singing man in a box, however talented Corey Taylor .. and someone I like - is he sounds so shockingly average singing this.. just incredible to me how unreal Layne was when you get to hear other people try and do the same song. To me there’s no one close and can’t imagine will be ever.

Only because I got this overwhelming feeling that Laynes mother might just be out for a buck and maybe they didnt have a very good relationship

music I’m feeling bummed out about layne 🫠

36 Upvotes

Hello all.. sorry if this appropriate for this page..
at the grand age of 39 has discovered aic.. more so discovered layne and the awful way he died. I understand it’s about the music and my other half who loves them says it sad but it’s about to music.. he doesn’t dwell on that..
I get it but I feel absolutely consumed sadness over his life and more so the ending of it 😞 I’m on day 3 of just intense feeling of depression and to be honest I feel distraught.. I’ve read this is social grief and hyper fixation it’s a thing more so common in women who have ADHD which I more than likely have.. just wanted some words of advice that I’m not a nutter and I’m not alone it’s dramatic but I can’t help my brain
