Layne Staley found dead three years ago today.

April is a bad month for rock,both Staley and Cobain.

1. so sad

Just saw the video for "Down in a Hole" on VH1 Classic...one of my favorite songs by AIC.

They were such a great band. :(

2. What a way to go too...

He was dead for like 2 weeks before they found him, right?

[Elidor]

3. Yes.

He probably blew up before then. Heroin is so sexy. :sarcasm:

[cedahlia]

4. I think so

It was at least a week, I think. That makes it even more sad. What a way to go, indeed.

5. April is a weird bad month

Hitler's birthday (tomorrow), OKC, Cobain, Ratzinger being elected pope.

Hurray up May and get here.

7. Hey but is my birthday today!

Should I have a complex? :shrug:

8. No

I knew someone was come up and say that their birthday is in April. I just didn't think it would be so soon.

Happy Birthday. The way I look at it, a lot of good people had to be born on April 20th in order to balance out the evil that Hitler did. It's just basic karma. So I consider you to be one of the good people. So have a nice Birthday.

9. I remember that about Staley..

A news report came on that said unidentified remains had been found in Staley's apartment. Then, it was found that he'd been dead for well over a week. I also remember the media interviewed people who lived near Layne and several people said he'd looked nearly dead before; like he weighed maybe a hundred pounds. At the time Layne died, I think there was a million dollars waiting for each member of Alice in Chains if they'd tour that summer. Layne couldn't get it together, though. It's a shame.
