ex addict here.. gotta be honest this is the first time in years someone has had the chance to video the inside of laynes final home and resting place, quite important for the internet to have this up.. r.i.p layne you are one of the main people who helped me get clean....
r.i.p mike starr
Funny use of "gotta be honest"
@@SlickBlackCadillac
Your comment rubbed me the wrong way and left a bad taste in my mouth.
@@CarlosMeza-sp1kj I can guess a couple of other things that might have left you a funny aftertaste...
@@KurtLamprecht
You're a real comedian aren't you?
@@SlickBlackCadillacDon’t do this on this video? Really. So many people can and will see it. Even Layne. No negativity here. 🙏🏼☮️🕊️🎼😔
Man, this is heavy. So sad to see how “you could have it all”, money, great apartnent, fame, lots od talent, but feel so lonely, and die like that. Hope Layne found peace somehow.
He wanted to be alone...all the friends went but he didn't answer..
It’s actually the money that made it possible for him to dive that deep into his addiction. The addiction of junkies who don’t have deep pockets is usually curbed by their financial means.
"Lots OD talent" ...dark
@@pacovl46True. I quit my addiction to opiates because I couldn't afford to do it and raise my family. Being sober with more money was the only viable outcome than being high and destroying your family. Had that not been an obstacle, I'd still be using it. Almost certain.
.he didn't feel lonely, he felt high and stayed that way
To know that he passed away but was still holding a fully loaded syringe of heroine is really painful. Wish that he could fight his demons. He was truly an iconic singer❤.
Layne and Mike were absolutely phenomenal musicians with a whole lot of troubles. RIP Layne and Mikey Starr
That seems to be what makes a phenomenal musician….troubles.
@@MiddlePath33 sad but true, in many examples
Still makes me sad. RIP Layne 🙏
Miss Layne so much. Alice in Chains was my favorite band from the era.
Can't imagine the amount of grief and guild Mike carried after what Layne last said to him. So tragic and devastating. I was almost 17 when Layne died, wow.
Nutshell is one of the saddest songs I have ever heard. An incredible communication of emotional pain. All addiction is attached to unbearable emotional pain.
Along with "River of Deceit"
Don't follow😢
in a way id be honored to walk through this legends home, but in my mind i can just imagine the day they found him, the couch tv etc, and poor layne. we miss you layne, mike, and demri wish things worked out better
They found him, sitting upright, on a couch, right? I'm sure he was very decomposed.
As a huge fan of Layne and his music I wondered so many times what his condo looked like. Thank you for that. What I found to be the most disturbing, is the old intercom that he used to keep everyone away with. If you know anything about him it's that he wouldn't let anyone in. That was haunting to see. Also the view of so much of the city that he was missing out on. Rip beautiful soul. 😢
That old intercom was wild!!! Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.
When Layne's mom said he was embarrassed to call 911 i cried cause id been there many times when i felt like I was overdosing on heroin and fentanyl and was too scared and embarrassed to call 911 or tell my dad or girlfriend to call 911
That's more common than we think.
"When I'm sayin'
"Time to go," and
I've been hurtin', yeah
When I'm layin'
I'm still tryin'
Concentrating on dyin', yeah
You're right as rain
But you're wrong to blame
Agreed my crime's the same
My sins I'll claim
Give you back shed pain
Go find a place for our shame
So you can deal with this thing unreal
No one made you feel any hurt, yeah"
- L.S.
Ill be 34 soon, i can feel my soul descending , my life is a nightmare, i dont know what is keeping me here most days. I just hope dying is more like waking up than going to sleep.
Love you all who also love the music that takes a moments suffering away.
“Shame in you” easily in my top 5 AiC songs. I’m going to be 34 in a few months and my life has changed drastically in a year but I still get how you’re feeling as I was just there not too long ago. Hope it gets better for you man
@@Leftovercrust I turn 34 on august 28 you a virgo like layne as well?
@@Leftovercrust thanks brother, I always believed it might , but i try not to think about what that would look like, I'm counting on suffering , I suffer willingly , russian style lolol, it's my way of coping , I forget the philosopher who said it but he said the only reasonable response to life's suffering is to laugh defiantly at it, crystal brightens any day. and my top 5 is rain when i die, we die young, died, get born again, dirt, god am, it aint like that, junkhead, would, frogs, nutshell, man in her box, down in your hole ;) angry chair, i can't remember, sea of sorrow.... Lmao I can't make a damn list they're all my favorite
Oh man, I'll turn 34 on the 1st of November, and this year, like no other, I've been thinking about Layne and his music-the blame for hurting ourselves, the shame for not calling for help, the loneliness, the lack of love, or maybe the unknown of it. Have I been a good son? Have I been a good friend? Have I been a good boyfriend or ex? Have I been a good human being? Of course, I have made mistakes, but have I really learned from them? I haven't accomplished any of my dreams... I've wasted many years partying or not being introspective and thinking about myself. I was an atheist, but now I am agnostic and don't really know if it's out of fear or humility. I am trying to do less of some things and more of others, but I don't know if I am correct... Really selfish, typing I, I, I, I...
I hope one day to start feeling happy, loved, or at least at peace instead of this deep emptiness...
Send you Love & Strength
@@Deathwish_Kid Sagittarius! I was born on November 23.
Im glad you did this tour of his last known residence. I saw about 3 other videos on it. 1 was after it was refurbished. Another guy was totally wrong on the location, but didn't go inside. Another I saw was done by an agent it seemed & made the place look more spacious.🙄 Which obviously its not, from this video. But its still an interesting place. And the fact that the cat door he installed is still there, is GREAT. I wish I could live there, for a short time. 🌧️
So glad that you enjoyed this video, The agent had no idea that this was Layne's home. The Cat door blew my mind that it was still there. The old school intercom also blew me away.
@@artistsonrecord That's funny the agent didn't know it was Layne's house. I wonder if the intercom still worked?!
Thanks for sharing Layne's home where he hung out, mostly alone, for 6 years. Such a great singer. I hope he is at peace. You are missed, Layne
I've lived in Seattle my whole life (45 years). THE BUILDING THAT LAYNE LIVED IN WAS TORN DOWN 10 or 15 years ago. It was made of concrete and it was an ugly tan color. It was rounded molded concrete and it looked very 1980s. This steel building is a new construction. This building is not the building where Layne lived, but it is built on the same property.
@@StratMatt777 how sure are you of that? So you’re telling me this new building from only 10 some odd years ago had 1990’s stuff in it? Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me on ur statement. You might be confused on a different location or building.
Help me understand, why does the MTV news clip show the same building? How come the real estate records show when this building was built? Makes no sense
@@propbraker This building was built in 1996 according to King County records. It is possible that my AIC fan roommate who drove me by Layne's condo right after he died drove by the wrong place (half a block north and a block west of this building).
@@artistsonrecord Yeah, you are right. I just found czcams.com/video/1bYC1AvaJ0g/video.html and it shows this building.
I'm quite surprised that my intelligent former roommate who was a rabid AIC fan drove me by the wrong place right after Layne died.
Maybe he wasn't as smart as I thought. Sorry about my comments that I'm removing.
Beautiful flat/home.. Layne was and still one of my favourite musicians 👍🏻🙏🏻 Alice in chains was my band, the other bands were great,but AIC were brilliant. Ive always felt they should have had the attention that Nirvana had. Rest easy Layne and mike🎸 two brilliant musicians. Great video mate..cheers.
Maaan, this is the most in-depth video ive seen of this condo. Thanks for making this
Thank you!!!! I will be doing more music locations in Seattle , make sure to share it with people you think that would enjoy it! I would appreciate it.
@@StratMatt777Wouldn’t the realtor that showed him the place know what year this building was built, if the original building had been torn down. The whole thing doesn’t make any sense if what you are saying is true.
@@StratMatt777 I believe you. Realtors should know when a building was built when showing people the property and if it was built after Layne passed than it could not be the condo he owned. Thank you for the information.✌️
@StratMatt777 That intercom,kitchen area,and bathroom seem a LOT older than 15 years. Especially for an $800,000 condo.
@@williamdesmarais4931 This building was built in 1996 according to the King County website where you can look up property plots. The thing is... when my roommate (who was a HUGE AIC fan) drove us by Layne's condo right after he died, the condo that was Layne's was half a block north and 1 block west of this building.
So.... I don't know.
Layne's story is so sad. he is loved and missed by so many. thankfully we have his gift that he left behind. he is somewhere loving Demri and playing video games. i hope he knows how much he was loved and cherished here on Earth, how many lives that he touched and saved by his music alone. From Alice In Chains and Mad Season to the guest spots he had with other artisis like Heart, whatever he appeared on, he made it magical and made it his. Rest easy Layne. Say Goodbye, Don't Follow.
Nancy is the angel that used to watch over the crooked industry. Such a brave and strong lady. Special. Rest up boys!
Thank you so much for this video. I only have seen his homes exterior. Layne was and will always be my favorite singer. To this day I never heard a voice like his. I'll always wonder what could have been. Thank God for all the music Layne left us.
We take ourselves for granted not realizing how it will effect our loved ones for the rest of their lives.
To be honest, at first I thought, "oh great, another person claiming to show his apartment but only showing the outside". Then you delivered! It's so different from what I pictured. I thought it would be this windowless, dark apartment, a room with 4 walls. (I know there's pics online of it all dressed up, but seeing it thru you made it come alive). Also this is a great tribute, I like how you tied Mike in there. First time watching one of your videos, definitely subscribing. RIP Layne & MIke
@@ashtro777 Thank you for watching, please subscribe and let us know what you would like to see on our channel!
That was cool to see Laynes actual home
Thanks for putting this together. I am 50 and have loved AiC since 1990. I'm also fascinated by Layne Staley's life...I hope some writer some day does a proper biography on him.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man this hurts..aoc Is my all time fav band..just to see where one of the most talented singers of all time lived n died is surreal..RIP brother, u have mo idea how much your missed
He had taste that place is heaven ❤❤ I miss his voice he helped me through my binge thanks Layne
I watch a CZcams channel where tribal people in India watch videos of American music. They don't speak English, and had never heard of Alice In Chains - he specifically didn't tell them about Layne until after they commented - but one called Nutshell "a man singing his own funeral song." That's a very accurate description, especially for someone who doesn't understand the words and didn't know Layne's story. I still wonder how he knew.
Another riveting Vlog, about the lost Rock legend Layne Staley. Such great info and unseen content. Thank you for telling the stories, the reflections will always teach us something to help the healing. RIP Layne Staley & Mike Starr🤘🏽✌🏽
Very sad. They had so much talent. RIP Staley & Starr.
Wow, that's some crazy hoa fee. Appreciate your efforts for this video
One thousand a month is an obscene amount.
Not at all what I expected for Layne to have owned and lived in. Expected a much more bigger and lavish place. I STILL remember where I was when I found out he died. Though I NEVER knew Layne Staley it was like a hero or such of mine was gone and dead. It REALLY got to me.
Thank you for this. I was just imagining during that walkthrough all the times Layne was just living life in his condo. By far the best video about Layne and his final resting place.
This video cuts deep. You could almost see Layne sitting there in the living room.
Thank you so much man. Thank you for keeping in so real and having a heart while doing it. RIP Layne and Mike
Appreciate you’re comment! It was very touching. Here is a crazy fact.. while doing my research and listening to Mike’s interviews… Mike mentioned he was jamming with a band called Web Of Spider which was Iggy Pop’s Guitarist’s band Whitey Kirst. I ended up playing Bass in that after Mike. I didn’t realize it of forgot about Mike’s time in that band. Great band. Whitey is good people.
It's just still really sad and hard to comprehend that all these beautiful voices that helped me through some of the worst shit in my life weren't able to save themselves 😥💝🙏🏻
Cool video...thank you for sharing it. What a brilliant talented, phenomenal singer the world lost on April 5,th 2002. Layne was on a whole nother level. RIP Layne. A true rock legend.
Man, we miss them
Mike & Layne RIP
This was beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Layne Staley was such a gift and the way he left this world is so sad. I've always wondered what his apartment was like and I'm kind of happy to see it has so much light in the midst of all the darkness. I hope the new owners feel at home here ❤
I wish I could own this one day, i am fascinated by Layne’s life and the band just in general, it’s sad to see the way he went downhill. RIP Layne 🕊️
Thank you for this video... RIP Layne...
Thank you for this video ❤
Layne bought his condo for 262000$ in April 1997, six months after Demri's passing. Layne was proud of his condo. It wasn't only "dark and sad". If I had money, I would buy it immediately. It's a very beautiful and secure place and Layne's soul will live there forever ❤
I've lived in Seattle my whole life (45 years). THE BUILDING THAT LAYNE LIVED IN WAS TORN DOWN 10 or 15 years ago. It was made of concrete and it was an ugly tan color. It was rounded molded concrete and it looked very 1980s. This steel building is a new construction. This building is not the building where Layne lived, but it is built on the same property.
I never knew this. Is there any photos of the original building. Because if these videos keep showing the newer building, then it's a waste of time and false information. Like this video, he's pointing to areas so basically making it up.
Ummmmm lol. So guys for real, whose house are we looking at? 😂 I adored Layne, so naturally curious, but I agree, if this could even possibly not be his home, same land base or not, then we wasted our time and the video should be removed. This doesn’t really look super 90s to me (at the time of building), & no way would Layne be going up & down those stairs if he had random / squatters living with him. It looks like it could have been built 15 years ago. If Layne bought it in ‘97? Nah, the design, structural design, isn’t suited to that time period.
Es-tu québécoise par hasard?
I was thinking the precise opposite, actually. The structure looked quite 90s to me. In fact, my Family Home-the House I grew up and lived the majority of my Life in had been built in April 1994...same month and year of Kurt Cobain's Death...which I always found a bit interesting. My Family Home, located in Orlando, Florida was quite large, spacious, and modern in its design for the time period. I saw a multitude of similar design features in Layne's old place here, and this is Layne's former Home, to be instantaneously reminded of the 1994 Home my Father and Mother purchased in 1998. The Black-tile surrounded Fireplace in particular! That looked identical to the one we had. The look of the doors, the windows...For upscale 90s interior, it was quite accurate.
I've always wondered what the inside of Layne's condo looked like. Thank you, Adika, for this very emotional and touching tribute tour of sorts to the late great legend.
I remember seeing a photo floating around on the internet of Layne wearing a Metal Gear Solid t-shirt and I thought that that was so badass. It's wild to think that this is where Layne probably played Metal Gear Solid (one of my fav games for the PS1) for the first time. I'm willing to bet that I was playing the game when I was 11 years old in 1998 (the year MGS was released) around the same time that Layne was. I didn't discover Alice in Chains until I was older but it's still interesting thinking about that, Layne sitting on his couch playing MGS for the PS1. It's sad knowing what we do now about his problems with addiction and the frail condition he was in but also bittersweet in a way knowing he was a gamer like me and also suffered from depression and addiction.
I love Layne Staley so much and the music that he created with AiC is timeless and will stick with me for the rest of my life. I was actually listening to 4/20/02 by Pearl Jam the other day and that song never fails to bring me to tears. RIP, Layne. Gone but most certainly never forgotten.
Thank you for this video. It was so interesting seeing where Layne lived. I so wish he could have gotten clean. He was and is so loved❤ I truly hope he is finally at peace 🕊️
Thank you so much for this❤
You're so welcome! thanks for being here
Thank you for this 🖤
Ive always wondered what this place was like inside, ive seen various clips on it from other channels never inside it though ive pictured after seeing the outside just what those walls were like knowing they were Layne's prison cell , maaan 😢 i actually seen the dr drew with Nancy interview hearing her surname ive always remembered it, McCallum as its a Scottish name and im Scottish if i hear a scots name it always sticks with me. This is a little golden nugget for me and im pretty sure many people its a sad one and it hurts really to think he was in so much pain he never felt he could reach out to anyone fffff uccckk turns my stomach as i know the feeling with my own struggles with substances.... Thanks mate this is cherished..RIP layne i no longer have to picture your last place i can see it, the pain is over.
Ps. I just want to add theres a part when mike last spoke to layne where he said " i saw demri last night, i dont care if you believe me but i saw demri she came to visit me...
You know what i believe he did as she was about to greet him as his time was nearing.
As a Seatown native and later fan of AIC (Pearl Jam, Temple, and Sound Garden were my introduction to grunge tho I respected the hell out of AIC) I want to thank you. You said it perfectly, this is amazing and sad at the same time. But after so many years, we get a glimpse to see where greatness once took his final rest. I hate that we will never actually see the green room for Kurt, but we all know who to blame for that so I digress. You did something no one else had thought of or was able to accomplish, so forever grateful. That said. I was not into reality tv. I was dating a girl that LOVED it. We would watch the whole episode of Dr. Drew celeb rehab. Many reality shows I could see the set up or fix ie script from a mile a way. I have said this for about 20 years now. Mike Starr episode was so real and authentic. I could not only stop from watching, but I really REALLY felt bad for him. You can tell he held onto the guilt maybe until he passed himself. He was hurting foreal. No fakeness about it. I prayed for him to find closure, healing, and possible happiness cause he seemed like such a good dude. Was very sad to hear about his own passing years later. Not gonna lie, I was not surprised sadly, but i was sad to hear about it. His appearance had stayed with me for years. The look and pain in his eyes. Hopefully he is in a place no longer hurting and back with Layne. RIP to the NW Legends.
Thanks for the video bud.
RIP LAYNE AND MIKE.
I wish yall could still be here today and do a AIC reunion tour
I'm utterly fascinated by the layout of that place. Wow.
I feel bad hearing what Mike had to tell Laynes mom. 😢
It’s the background music that gets me, changes the entire vibe
The hallways and balcony are so narrow and claustrophobia inducing. It saddens me to think of all the misery he felt inside of those walls.
It is very sad
Thank you for this video. I wish I could buy this place, it's so cool & looks almost unchanged. wish there was a way to perserve it and leave it for AIC fans & Layne's friends + family, to visit anytime they want and pay their respects....seeing the cat door upstairs for Sadie was. 💔
Layne had an apparently peaceful, spacious home without many luxuries, I believe I would live in this place without any problems I think.
Wow, i never thought I'd see inside there. That was intense to watch, so sad. RIP Layne
This is the only video of someone actually going inside the apartment where Layne lived. Very cool, man. Was it difficult getting that set up?
Love you Layne. Miss you and your music brother.
Wow what a great video. I’d always wondered what the inside had looked like
Thanks for watching
Nice look through the place Layne called home
wild that you got in there !!!!!!!
Dude, nice job man. This is amazing. 😯
Thank you, I appreciate it
God bless Layne and Mike. Great video man
Thanks 👍
Very heavy, thanks for sharing. Poor Layne and Mike. What incredible music they made.
Thanks for listening
RIP Layne and Mike.
I know it’s just a condo but it was kinda interesting to see. Reminds me of a couple condos I used to have. I remember being more angry than sad when Layne died. It just didn’t have to be that way at all.
It's wild to see it. To know that's where Layne spent his last years & died right there. Very tragic story. His music will always live on.
Rest in peace Layne and Mike...❤
❤ we still love you a whole heck of a lot LS. Forever the man.
Never thought I’d see video footage of the interior
LANE, was an incredible musician , i will always remember his greatness and his amazing vocal ability !!!
Just so many people who loved him... but he could only save himself.
Thanks for showing Layne's condo! As a huge fan of his, I don't think I'd be able to live in that place, knowing what happened😥Just a little correction here; his interview with Rolling Stone "The Needle and the Damage done" is from February 8, 1996 and not 2002😊 R.I.P. LS & MS
@@jakobryyd I know , I should have been clearer on the Rolling Stones Article !! I messed up! Glad you enjoyed it the video.
Wow so sad. Btw $1060 HOA fee is insane
This makes me sad, its kinda heavy, ive seen this place on youtube but not inside, he had a few places he would frequent close to that place. I remember practicing in a band at a place in pasadena, Ca and Mike just left the rehearsal spot it was shortly after the rehab tv show, i wanted to meet him bad but i heard he was being a little bad at the facility and he passed not long after that. Im glad to have seen alice in chains many times with their original line up too. I had a LIVE vhs on them when it first came out it was in black and white and awesome. Im glad AiC is still going ive seen their current line up live and enjoy it very much. I would thank them for their music if i could. Music means so much to some people and more than some people would care to think. I wish he would have fought his demons and won.
One of my favorite bands. So heartbreaking
greatest singer to ever live. all started after his love of his life died of an overdose he just didnt care he wanted to die and be with her
So sad for such a talented guy, respected and loved by many friends and.collegues to die alone.
He gave up...
Being born in 72 I've lived through the deaths of so many great actors and musicians but if I had to name 2 musicians who's death really affected me to my soul they would be Layne and Dimebag Darrell. But Layne had a vocal range that was like no other. R.I.P. Layne you're forever missed. Damn shame we lost ya man...
Very very sad . Such an amazing voice silenced forever .
Wow, I'm drug addiction problems, too. It is crazy hard to see this after Kurt died. I was never able to watch this video, and it was very hard to see 1000 people dying, and fenny is crazy and loved this band. The first one I ever got was Alice in chains . The door to my drug problems started because everyone made cool back then, and if I used morphine and heroin u don't want to be sick it's crazy sad 😢😢😢😢
Rock in power brother Layne
This one is tough shit. I still remember, when I read, that Layne was found dead. Called the girlfriend of a very close friend of mine. She was also an AIC fan. After I told her the news, we couldn't really say anything. It was just silence.
Even now watvhing this video, I can still feel the pain and sadness from back then in 2002.
Such a tragic loss, which just repeated itself with the death of Mike Starr in 2011.
So yeah, this one is tough shit to watch. 😢
Heart breaking 💔
Telly was flickering...like a movie set 😮
He had a recording studio in that bathroom off the hallway, And the name he used to purchase the apartment was the ‘’ La rlarusta trust ‘’ or alias John Larusta and he smashed one of his tooth’s in that drywall near the fridge 👍🏻 ITS STILL THERE !👍🏻
WOAH, His tooth is still in the drywall?
A recording studio in a bathroom when he got two rooms left?
@@anniecroteau3598 probably for the vocals the natural reverb.
@@anniecroteau3598 The building Layne lived in was torn down and replaced by this one well over 10 years ago.
@@StratMatt777 not true. Do some research
Nice touch mate. Layne was a brilliant talent but a tortured life. He had people around him that cared but he chose the path he took. Drugs deal a lot of collateral damage to the people who want what’s best for users. If the person doesn’t or can’t help themselves, the end is usually inevitable
Nice
dont be embarrassed to tell someone close to you that you need help, as a recovering addict and someone with loved one who is currently struggling, i can tell you they already know but are afraid to confront you because they know you are going to get defensive, you are going to argue, trust me i know, they are praying everyday that you will ask for help
Rest in peace Layne Stanley
So sad…How’s that lump in my throat wow!
I met them both after a show, Mike asked me for smack, Lane was short answered kinda guy, Drummer told me we all have our vices- drummer was way cool guitar player wasn't at the bar. Sad sad ending- Mike stars band earlier " Sato" I saw twice- Inland Northwest has always Rocked.
You can't save anyone who is not willing to participate in thier own rescue 😭 My own Daughter dropped dead on a porch in the arms of her significant other. Her last words were, "John, help me!" John still uses dope 😡
My baby sister died in my Mother's arms on Mother's Day 2012. Fentanyl (prescription, oddly). We knew it was going to happen, but my siblings and I had hoped it wouldn't happen while our parents were still alive. 😢
Her boyfriend died of heroin 2 years later on the front steps of a local bar.
Very cool alice in chains is my favorite band,cool to see the inside of the condo,crazy he was a famous rock star just bought a condo and isolated himself their,in the u district, everyone around, could have bought a house in the country somewhere 🤷
The condo as an option was likely close to his drug connections. Hard to come by one's drugs if one resides far out in the bucolic country.
Good job Mike👍🏼 you really pushed through (so selfish)
How sad, RIP Layne & Mike...
I love Alice In Chains I love Laney Staley but his story is just an inspiration for me to keep being sober
Imagine being a fan and having this place? If you were senseive to this stuff it would be too much. The thing is about layne is he could of got the best help he could get, but didn't.
By the time this happened I think we were all so angry at losing another person like this. Sad yeah but like wtf? Another one. And likely most of us were still junkies battling heroin as we've done for years at that point. Some still are.
Anyways, it was a great loss to the people who listened and were a part of that scene, and surely to his family. Hope you guys out there have found some peace in life,and can look back on those days knowing we were there part of, and survived ourselves. Much love.
Very well said! Are you a recovered add1ct? If so, how long, what substances did you use and how did you get sober? I'm struggling here. X
