      That’s my age and all the things that happened over all the years still amazes me I too am alive. I grew up with The Doors, Jimi, Skynyrd, Zeppelin and when I got out of the Army in 89 and started hearing the Seattle music it fell right in line with my heart. But now all these years later I love the era I grew up in all the more.

    Mark, Layne, Chris, Andy, Scott, Kurt, Mike, and the many others that have passed (which are too many to list).... these guys were like Dark Angels roaming the planet. This time period of music in my life was my Camelot so to speak. As a 56 year old man.... the Seattle Music Scene defined my generation, their music meant the world to so many, including myself. Why? Because we could identify with it. Music isn't all about fun and happiness, clearly there was another side to it with these bands.... and those who could identify with it.. sadness, depression, despair, addiction and dependency. Yet, through it all, these guys supported one anothers careers, encouraged one another, and helped one another. Unfortunately for most, they couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel.... yet, unknowingly, through their music and personal struggles, they helped so many others, including myself.... and still do to this day. With each and every one of these artists that have passed over the years, for whatever reasons, I feel as though I have lost a family member or close friend. When the night feels like another sunrise will never come, I ALWAYS have my fallen brothers music to see me through to another sunrise, and because of that, I will FOREVER be grateful. I only wish I could've done the same for so many of them when they were lost in their own minds. I will continue to carry the Seattle Music Scene Torch until my dying days..... and I will let it shine brightly, because it's the very least I can do to pay respects to those who saved my life numerous times. These Dark Angels I refer too...... especially Layne and Chris.... put the good word in for me at the gates, and save me a seat at the big table between the two of you..... YOU ALL ARE GREATLY MISSED BY MANY..... but especially by this 56 year old man.

      We were so lucky to experience this period in music first hand. It was great, and as the years go on, it just becomes more and more nostalgic and classic. While driving and listening to some of my favorite songs from this era, I often find myself frustrated and almost angry that so many are gone. I always wonder what Kurt would have went on to do music-wise. Would he have put out more stuff like the Unplugged album? I'm glad we got to experience Mark's contributions to QotSA, one of my favorite "newer" bands.

    These guys weren’t usually the type to judge others and when one was down and out the other stuck around and tried to help. I know many people who do not have any problems with addiction that won’t lift a finger to help someone, never mind an addict. I am not trying to be negative, but these guys were usually there to try to help each other, until the person they are trying to help doesn’t want it anymore. Sometimes even though you know where you’re headed it is easier to just let go, but yet you fight, and you fight it all alone.
    The drugs especially iv opioids, bring out the worst sometimes, but even battling those demons, they tried to stick together and help each other in times of need.
    It is sad to lose such a great era of singers (and band mates). Layne, Mike, Mark, Chris, Kurt, and many more and they were all human beings like all of us, yet we’re so very talented and gifted ones. They say the truly artistic are the most susceptible to destruction. What is really tragic is to finally gain sobriety after so many years of cheating death and have a wife and a home and catch CV19. My heart goes out to Mark’s family and there really isn’t anyone left to lose. Eddie Vedder did his thing, and gives back to humanity which is nice. But the true Grunge era is gone. Tragic, and depressing.
    Thank you for this great short documentary of his life.
    The song “Nutshell” at the end, its words, are exactly where most of their lives roamed to.
    Ironically sad.

    I heard about his passing while sitting in my car during my lunch break at work. Tears just rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably. I hadn’t cried in more than 15-20 years and quickly realized it was time to get back to work. I looked in my review mirror and said to myself “get it together man,you have to pull yourself together right now” I think about that 5-10 minutes often. I didn’t personally know mark. But I have spent my whole life in western Washington and the screaming trees were a big part of my teenage years. His voice gave comfort to many of us. He will be there when we need him through his music and books. But he well be missed. Damn.

I have a zillion times more respect for you than I have for the, more than likely worthless negative commenter. If fact, just his half sentence, (it's hard to tell if it's a sentence or not since they don't use any grammar), tells me everything I need to know about his unaccomplished life. These generations, the last 20 years have no clue. If they would have applied themselves and learned guitar, wrote music and sang, maybe the music wouldn't have died out in the last two decades. But you have to have talent and dedication. I respect anyone who plays guitar. My dream is to play, but I haven't dedicated myself. It's not an easy instrument to learn and be good at.

    I'm an immense Lanegan fan, have been since I was a teen. The unremitting darkness of his story, and how it colored his music, is part of the allure of it -- but there's something about his voice and his lyrics that were always contemplative, yearning, and assuring. Like a tiny point of light on the black horizon, something to walk toward until you find your way. Losing him this year was extremely rough. I'm taking solace in "Churchbells, Ghosts", "Pill Hill Serenade", and "Sworn and Broken" to get me through some things right now. The world needed Mark. It's a shame that, for so long, he couldn't tell.

    I don't think people realise how truly underrated Screaming Trees nor Mark's solo career were. It sadly took Mark's death for people to kind of do a rediscovery if you will. I always felt the last two ST albums were just as good as the best albums of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, AIC and Soundgarden. I particularly enjoyed the last four of their work, unique.
    It is a shame that Andy, Kurt, Layne, Mike, Scott, Chris and now Mark are no longer with us, they all had this angelic aura about them. May their music live on.

    Wow!!! I can't help but feel such a deep dark sadness for many of the Grunge greats... it truly goes to show money absolutely does not bring happiness and imo brings a deeper sorrow to them. They hide behind their riches with the same deep depression they started with. Layne's story makes me feel the same. 😪 This was very well written and I truly appreciate you putting it on CZcams for us! Thank you... RIP Mark, Layne and Kurt ❤️

      Yeah when you abuse hard drugs on a daily basis having lots of money is a burden on your life. It does make it more convenient but it also makes it harder to quit.

      @@joshuayettou9032 perhaps, but it’s easier to deal with addiction with money than dead broke.
      having said that, i don’t think lanegan was particularly wealthy - just because a musician is famous, doesn’t mean they’re rich. takes a lot of record sales to recoup major labels’ advances - and responsible financial management, which lanegan certainly lacked when his various habits were raging

    I have listened to the audio version of this at least 2 dozen times. I go to bed at night and listen... Isn't it amazing how he had such an amazing memory? To be a full blown junkie for that many years and that long ago... super impressive. He should have been an author his entire career... what a delightful vocab this man had. I know a lot of intelligent musicians that speak very well, like Chris Robinson.... Mark seems to be the best I have seen. Poor guy needed his mothers love. I could have as well. I like how Bobby Scarfo (post below mine) explains how important the scene was to me... so just read his comment next. Rest in peace... all of you that have left us.

    Your documentary could be touched up a bit, but it's pretty good, man. Thank you for doing the weeks/months of work it took to make it as good as it is.
    Most importantly, thanks for sharing Mark Lanegan. I love Mark's music, and I love his story as well. He was a true original from rock's last stand on the world stage. Screaming Trees had quite a bit of "roll" as well, something missing from quite a bit of rock since way back in the day.

    I'm just grateful not only for his music but just to say hello to him before a QOTSA show. I was walking down an ally behind The Newport Music Hall in Columbus Ohio in 2002. I look up and sitting on a fire escape was Lanegan. Told him how much I dug his stuff. I didn't want to fan boy out so I left it at that. Glad I did. R.I.P. Brother

    Lanegan was such a hidden treasure, and I think he probably liked it that way. I suspect had he been more famous he would have died much sooner. I was always surprised he wasn't more well known though.

  • @jt1929
    @jt1929 Před rokem +9

    Had he taken up Kurt’s offer to sing at the unplugged concert and worked with David O’Russell he would be more well known. I knew a bit about his struggles but his memoir was very dark. He didn’t shy away from what he did but I’ve also read what close friends thought of him and they were always in a positive light. Other books about Seattle did include the Screaming Trees and their dynamics were interesting. Lanegan did seem like a bruiser on sight with those massive fists but he was also very introspective and a voracious reader. Somewhat a walking contradiction. In some ways he seemed more like a Lost Generation figure, a literary type who would fight at the drop of a hat like Hemingway or Norman Maclean.
    He had a hard life but I’m glad he had some peace near the end. His music sure made me happy.

      @thebellakittylove Před 7 měsíci

      Thank you for that information. I'm always happy to learn new information that I haven't already read or learned from an internet channel/podcast. Maybe if he had sang with Kurt at the unplugged concert, both of their lives may have taken a different direction. It could have been what they both wanted and needed at that time. Kurt wanted to move in a different direction musically, so that could have been that different direction, and it would have been an opportunity that Mark wouldn't wanted to have blown because of addiction. But it is what it is, a very tragic story.
