    Mark Lanegan said Layne's voice was so powerful that he could hear it over the instruments, standing on the side of the stage. Tom Morello said he sang like an angry angel. Corey Taylor says he is one of the best voices in all of rock.

      @Bacta Work i think the best song for him to listen to first would be Wake Up…. God, Layne’s vocals and the pure emotion he pours out into that song, it’s a completely different feeling than anything i’ve ever heard from Alice In Chains. It gives me chills every single time, and makes me think “how is it even possible to make something this incredibly magnificent?” It’s one of those songs that i personally believe is in dire need of more recognition. First time i heard it, i couldn’t believe what i was listening to and that i hadn’t already heard it. Layne’s vocals, McCready’s guitar work, it is perfection.

    1st, the dude can sing. No remixing/autotune needed. 2nd, the mix on this live puts the instruments lower, so not only is his voice heard easily, he does not have to force a louder sound to be heard. and the instruments do not drown each other. This is masterful on all parts.

      @Christopher Bingham Lane Staley was better ,and I'll tell you why, on a power scale Chris Cornell is probably 11on power, Layne Staley was a 10 on power, but here's the difference, Chris Cornell is either shredding paint off the wall with his voice or he sings really low which is okay he can sing low also, Lane could hit more notes and had more Harmony in his voice on the high on the middle and on the low it's all about the harmony of the song, to prove my point I was at a bar and I was talking with the guy drinking beer and he was a huge fan of the local scene like I was, and he loved all the bands but he said the same thing Chris Cornell, so I bet him 50 bucks we each get to play a half hour of both bands ,and we'll let the bar decide, so obviously he picked all their hits and I played all Alice's hits, guess who the bar voted for, Lane Staley and they said the same thing he just has more Harmony in his voice.

    Saw them at a club in 1992. I was moshing in the pit when they started this song - everyone stopped moshing and swayed and stared, absolutely transfixed by the power of Layne's voice. I remember thinking "this might be what tripping feels like" (not quite, but not as far off as you might think). That is still one of my all-time favorite shows. Layne was a legend, and AIC has always been my favorite of the grunge bands.
    Check out "Don't Follow" for my all-time favorite AIC song; it's somber, wistful, and beautiful - I've always said it reminds me of singing around a campfire. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone else, but that's my take.

    This song is from their debut album "Facelift." Personally, it's one of the greatest albums of all-time. This was the first album I bought and listened to all the way through without skipping a song. I also used to sing regularly and would practice to the whole album.

    This is one of my fave performances by Layne. Your first reaction to this, is exactly how you will feel each time to listen to it. IMO and in my own experience. Sludge Factory (From MTV Unplugged) is also a very raw performance by Layne. He makes a tiny lyric slip up and recovered with a witty joke and a stellar, killer version. Now, Layne was also in a band called Mad Season. The live at the Moore, Seattle, 1995 performances of both the songs "River of Deceit" and "Lifeless Dead" are so damn good too. Layne was one of best vocalists around. His talent is greatly missed.

They still do great music with William Duvall on vocals, mixed with Jerry Cantrell it's still Alice In Chains but nothing will beat the Layne years, he was THE BEST!!!

    His voice really is otherworldly. I swear I feel like he’s from another dimension, it’s all so hypnotizing together with the instrumentals but even alone. If you haven’t yet, you should check out one of his first performances with his first hs band Sleaze back in the 80s, I believe. It’s low quality of course but he hits an otherworldly, inhuman-sounding note, it’s insane. Literally sounds like an electric guitar screech on his own. It does hurt knowing people can’t see him ever again, it breaks my heart.

A big part of the reason I came home was that I couldn't bear to be away from this massive punk party, my own local homies making their own kinds of hard rock music for the whole world. It makes me so happy that a kid your age is falling in love with all that music, and appreciating, I'm sure among other things, the uniqueness and raw emotive power of Layne Staley's writing and vocals.
