well obviously...that's a good point

Staley was one jacked up dude though, I remember reading an article about him how he described he wanted to become a rock star so he could take as much drugs as possible

obviously he was in pain to begin with in his life to start taking heroin

alkemical · 04-13-2006, 08:42 AM

I firmly believe he enjoyed watching himself die. He ultimitly hated himself.

no doubt
he wanted to die

I'm sure there was a chemical imbalance in his brain

MHS - i think it was more than that. I used to be really really morose - and for a while you are just standing in the dark....

Some certainly were, though my favorite track was Rooster, which was entirely composed by Cantrell. It's from the prospective of his dad in Vietnam.

see I like the down in the hole ballad more so than rooster

Rooster is ok, but down in a hole is better IMO

kinda off the subject

but did any of you see AIC live during the Dirt days?

amazing!!! probably one of the best concerts I have ever seen

No, unfortunately. I was an early teen when they stopped touring. I've seen Cantrell solo a couple of times. He played mainly old AIC songs rather than solo material. Pretty good, though I'm sure not the same. Dude can play a mean axe, though.

alkemical · 04-13-2006, 09:06 AM

he's overrated in the PACNW but underrated everywhere else.

Cantrell is actually from OK, so we get a lot of him here (orginally)

Boggy Depot was a place in OK, I believe

I only saw them once and it was the wildest concert I have ever been to, I was 20 at the time I think, it was 1993? damn I'm old

the crowd was so testy b/c it was hot where we were out.......they had to play childrens nursery rhymes instead of the usual rock music in between bands.....not to mention some really bad bands opened up for them....circus of power? yuck and some other crappy band...anyway

Layne wore his sunglasses the whole time, he was so wasted I think........BUT was kinda funny, the mentallity at a concert, this dude had nazi tattoos on in the front and Layne said, dude that is stupid, you are a dumb mutha ****er for having that **** on you, stupid racist...the kid was summarily beaten and had to be taken out by security...the crowd turned on this kid so fast....but I'm sure just a few moments before that, other rednecks in the crowd liked his tatoos

anyway, they played for like 2 hours.....freakin' awesome, no big special effects, just them playing

people love him in OK

although I have never gotten in to his solo stuff...just not....I dunno, I liked the harmony, not just his voice solo

alkemical · 04-13-2006, 09:27 AM

personally, everyone in AIC made it AIC. Sean's drumming is awesome.

the bass playing was interchangeable though

wasn't Mike Inez the first bass player on facelift?

Mile High Shack · 04-13-2006, 10:09 AM

oh yeah, I also saw them open up for Ozzy in 1992

Layne had a broken leg and sat on this nappy couch almost the whole time...lol
