Alice in Chains albums are missed much

It is a great shame that the lead member of the 90s rock band had to pass at such a young age.

Layne Staley had a strong fan base that was upset but probably not as surprised at his death.

A long running problem with drugs seemed to haunt Layne, although it is probably not known exactly what happened at the hours of his death.

Some of the most interesting material recorded by the band include the self title album they produced which had some of the dryer side of the band. Tracks like Sludge Factory and So Close Now.

These are surely some telling songs as were the songs on the album Dirt, which had a lot of direct and indirect hinting at drugs use including smack, another name of heroin.

Thank you for remembering the lost genius of Layne Staley. His is a life that will remain unique and unequaled for a long time.

R.I.P. Layne

Yeah it is very difficult thinking of the heroes of our generation and the footprint they leave when they're gone. I learned so much about my guitar style from them...and time sure flies. Thank you as well!
