Alice In Chains

[solicitor]

... ali eto ... junkoze tako zavrse .... kad tad. Regularni narkoman sjebe celu porodicu i svoje bliznje zbog problema koje droga donosi. POznate licnosti imaju neku vrstu obaveze i prema svojim fanovima da budu zivi i zdravi i da prave muziku koja je bitan deo zivota mnogih ljudi. Svaki narkoman je u sustini obicni sebicnjak, jer mu je doza bitnija od svega ostalog, i od bliznjih i od fanova. Neprestano su u opasnosti da umru od overa i oni to prihvataju, ne mareci mnogo koliko ce ljudi ostati unesreceno posle njihove eventualne smrti. Zato narkoamne prezirem ... steta sto ih medju muzicarima ima toliko a mnoge legende rocka su pomrle od droge ... sta reci ....

Ali kod Layne-a sve je to bilo napumpano u novinama,koje su npr. pisale da je mrtav od gudre a on strejt a ljudi mu prilaze i govore mu "Ja mislio da si riknuo,otkud ti".Npr. Jimi Hendrix i svo ostale legende u rock muzici ce ostati zapamcene po svojoj muzici,niko nece reci a on je bio junky,sto je slucaj kod Layne a veliki deo zasluga tome odlazi novinama koje su plasire tu pricu i jos vise ga ukopavale.

# "When somebody starts asking me if I'm an addict of how messed up I am or just stupid and stuff like that, it's like man do you have a brain at all? Aside from a brain, do you have any feelings at all? What if I started asking these questions? This is really personal stuff!"

 

# "I made a stupid decision and now I'm paying for it. My bed isn't made, I'm tired, I haven't slept well for two weeks. I haven't been laid in a month. I don't have a girlfriend. And I have a warrant for my arrest. Being me is no different than being most anyone, I guess."

 

# "I found out through the Internet that I have AIDS. I learned that I was dead. Where else would I find these things? I don't see a doctor regularly. I was in San Francisco at Lollapalooza, and this girl walked up to me and stopped like she had seen a ghost. And she said "You're not dead." and I said, "No, you're right." Wow."

 

"People have the right to ask questions and dig deep when you're hurting people and things around you, but when I haven't talked to anyone in years, and every single article I see is dope this, junkie that, whiskey this- that ain't my title...my bad habits aren't my title. My strengths and talents are my title."

Deo Lejnovog poslednjeg intervjua datog 3 mesesca pred smrt.

 

 

Almost a year after the April 2002 death of Alice in Chains singer Layne Staley, the final interview with the troubled musician has surfaced in the recently released book "Layne Staley: Angry Chair — A Look Inside the Heart and Soul of an

 

 

Incredible Musician" by Argentinean writer and music fan Adriana Rubio.

 

The conversation took place less than three months before Staley died from an overdose of heroin and cocaine ("Layne Staley Died From Mix Of Heroin, Cocaine, Report Says"), and revealed a broken 34-year-old who had given up the will to live.

 

"I know I'm dying," he rasped through missing teeth. "I'm not doing well. Don't try to talk about this to my sister Liz. She will know it sooner or later."

 

Staley, suffering from fever and nausea, told Rubio that his need for heroin was all-consuming, even though the effects of the drug were no longer enjoyable. He added that smack had completely ravaged his system and left him empty and filled with regrets.

 

"This f---ing drug use is like the insulin a diabetic needs to survive," he said. "I'm not using drugs to get high like many people think. I know I made a big mistake when I started using this sh--. It's a very difficult thing to explain. My liver is not functioning and I'm throwing up all the time and sh---ing my pants. The pain is more than you can handle. It's the worst pain in the world. Dope sick hurts the entire body."

 

The most chilling passage of the interview reads like a suicide note.

 

"I know I'm near death," he said. "I did crack and heroin for years. I never wanted to end my life this way. I know I have no chance. It's too late. I never wanted [the public's] thumbs' up about this f---ing drug use. Don't try to contact any AIC (Alice in Chains) members. They are not my friends."

 

In the rest of the interview, Staley talked about his relationship with his family. He stressed that he's always been close to his mother Nancy McCallum, sister Liz and stepsister Jamie, but that when he was eight years old his father walked out on the family and Staley's life faded to black.

 

"My world became a nightmare," he said. "There were just shadows around me. I got [a] call saying that my dad had died, [but] my family always knew he was around doing all kind of drugs. Since that call I always was wondering, 'Where is my dad?' I felt so sad for him and I missed him. He dropped out of my life for 15 years."

 

Staley insisted he always knew he had the talent and creativity to be rock star, and thought that if he became a celebrity his dad would return. So he started writing songs in his teens and jamming with other musicians. At the same time, he did a bit of research to find out where his father was living and what kind of a man he was.

 

"When I was 16, I tried to find him without saying a word to my family," revealed Staley. "I did it for a long f---in' time, and what I found over the years was not good, so I changed my mind about wanting to see my dad again."

 

At that point, Staley focused all his energy on music, reveling in it as a cathartic outlet.

 

"I was about 20, and music became my only obsession to stay alive," he said. "I had the chance to throw out all this anger by the music in order to help others. It was therapeutic and worked [for] me for a while until my dad saw my picture printed on a magazine."

 

Just as Alice in Chains started to take off, the man Staley expended so much energy and anguish thinking about suddenly wanted to become a part of the rocker's life. The then 21-year-old singer was wary, but he still hoped seeing his dad again would help fill the hole in his heart.

 

"He said he'd been clean of drugs for six years," Staley related. "So, why in the hell didn't he come back before? I was very cautious at first. Then the relationship changed. My father started using drugs again. We did drugs together and I found myself in a miserable situation. He started visiting me all day to get high and do drugs with me. He came up to me just to get some sh--, and that's all. I was trying to kick this habit out of my life and here comes this man asking for money to buy some smack."

 

Being used by his father was one of the forces that contributed to Staley's downward slide.

 

"He finally kicked heroin use, and I'm still fighting," he said bitterly. "I invested a lot of money on treatments. I know I did my best or what I thought would be right. I changed my number. I don't wanna see people anymore and it's nobody's business but mine."

RIP

[rebel_grunge]

We chase misprinted lies.

We face the path of time.

 

And yet I fight,

And yet I fight

This battle all alone.

No one to cry to

No place to call home.

 

My gift of self is raped.

My privacy is raked.

 

And yet I find,

And yet I find

Repeating in my head:

If I can't be my own

I'd feel better dead...

 

 

[CTPAX]

Sat suffering

I knew him when

Fair-weather friends of mine

Try not to think

I merely blink

Hope to wish away the lies...i..

Can you protect

Me when i'm wrecked

I pretend you're still alive

I....yeah....

oooh....denied all....and tied all the lies

I choose the day

One deepen grave

Thick fog to hide our smiles

Clear all your sins

Get born again

Just repeat a couple lines

I....lines....yeah

oooh....denied all....and tied all the lies

Can you protect

Me when i'm wrecked

I pretend you're still alive

I choose the day

One deepen grave

Thick fog to hide our smiles

Sat suffering

oooh....denied all....and tied all the lies

Get born again

oooh....denied all....and tied all the lies

Ima li neko poster Layne-a (eventualno celog benda) da mu ne treba?

[Woodcutter]

friendly advice: ne slusajte pesmu dirt kad ste neraspolozeni. zagarantovano sjebavanje. licno iskustvo.

Pustis ``Would?`` i sve je ok...

 

Layne bio car...

friendly advice: ne slusajte pesmu dirt kad ste neraspolozeni. zagarantovano sjebavanje. licno iskustvo.

Pre bih rekla to za 'Down in a hole'...

[Mikkah_Pickkah]

Dirt je kad si u konkretnoj frci sa konkretnom osobom (osobama)... a Down in a hole je mnooooooogooooooo vise zato sto je muzika za univerzalnu/sivu depresiju... Moze da se tumaci na 1000 nacina u isto toliko situacija... ili van svake situacije
