This sucks the big willy. Layne was the dude.
Most of my fave AIC songs were by Jerry, but Layne’s songs were the dog’s vitals.
What an awful way to go. They say they’re not sure how he died. Maybe his body just packed in?
If anyone has any info….originally posted by deepsludge

Legalizing it just means that taxpayers are paying for junkies to be pampered and get into it in the first place. If there’s no risk of bad junk, more people will use, and that would not be very kool.
RIP Layne Staley
Fuckin sweet man.
Hey, have you seen the sonic youth website, coz they have a list of all their stolen gear on the site in the equipment section.Also, do you know who the guy who did that website is? I think I recognize his email address, coz I found i site just like that SY one for all of Kurt Cobains gear. I think the same guy did it. What a dude.
</font><blockquote><font>quote:</font><hr><font> Well, not too recently. The Pumkins broke up.
</font><hr></blockquote><font>Duh! I knew that, but apparently they used it on the Everlasting Gaze, and Heavy Metal Machine.
Thanx for the link though.I didn’t think that he was using an effect except the very last chord. It sounds like real fast tremolo picking. But the last chord I reckon is probably just some very light chorus, tremolo or flange (chorus or trem more likely), with a reasonably fast rate, but not much depth to give it a wobbly/bubbly effect.
Thats just my opinion and I don’t make any claims of accuracy or anything. </font><blockquote><font>quote:</font><hr><font> "Pessimism does not exist.

Also, Kurt thought that his characteristic guitar tone came primarily from his DS1/2 pedal. Anyway, the boss ones suit the Nirvana stuff better I think.
Hey RJ, I know about all those loadsa tracks and stuff, I’m Just saying it sounds F*cking Kool. All the rhytum guitars on that album where done by plugging a Big Muff (with the volume and sustain on full, into the low sensitivity input of a Marshall JCM800 loaded with KT88 valves (master volume on full, preamp barely on at all).
I was actually gonna say about Kurt using a DS1 on everything up to and including Nevermind. (After it was recorded he switched to a DS2). However, I know he used a muff on Lithium coz I read an interview with Butch Vig and thats what he said (Big Muff into a fender Bassman). It sounds to me like he used one on breed too, and it definately doesn’t sound like a BOSS pedal.
Is that so Mr I-think-I’m-so-kool-with-ma-spade-in-ma-hand.
Think your sooo groovy huh!?!
I flange yo MAMA!!!
Yeah! YO MAMA!!!hee hee.
BURP!
I feel I have to say, before everyone gets bored of this post, that the best sounds ever acheved with a Big Muff are on Siamese Dream by the Smashing Pumpkins. Just check out the insane chainsaw fuzztones of songs like Cherub Rock, Quiet or Geek USA.
Other personal Muff favourites, are Lithium (Nirvana, Duh), Touch Me I’m Sick (Mudhoney), and some Garbage songs (Dinosaur Jr stuff goes without saying), but the Pumpkins remain the best.I hear what you’re saying. I completely agree with Rosa on this. I have encoutered the exact problem with any genre of music I can find. Self-righteous judgemental dick-heads can seemingly immediately tell if you are allowed to be part of their incestuous clique of a subculture by if you’re wearing the right T-shirts, clothes or have the right records. I believe it is mainly a wish to define themselves by latching on to certain groups (however cliched), as a way for people to think that they lead a certain lifestyle.
‘Punk rock’ fans are twats. By this I mean that they are of the opinion that any music with more than four chords, or songs more than three minutes, or anything recorded at an expensive studio is corporate c*ck-sucking music. Oh, and Punk is now seemingly determined by what fluorescent colour your hair is today.
Indie fans suddenly decide that they hate a band they had previously liked because they sign to a major-label.
Indie Jangle-pop fans literally won’t talk to you if you like the sound of distorted guitars.
You aren’t a fan of Heavy Metal style music unless you profess an undying love for Black Sabbath every other sentence, and you aren’t allowed to listen to any band that hasn’t got solos or has hooks, melodies or memorable choruses.
Nu metal kids are fools who like sh*te music, bt don’t realise how commercial their bands are, or that their music is just a degenerate version of music by original, good bands like Tool and the Deftones.
Goths can’t dent their cemetry credability by associating themselves with someone who wears something that isn’t black, or has wierd haircut.
So much for all the ‘individuality’ these w*nkers are so fond of telling us they have. (Am I the only one who finds it pant-wettingly hilarious that they tell us of this while dressed in the exact same clothes as the gimp that they’re standing next to?).
I could go on all day, but I have other things to do and I guess you guys have better things to do than read my rantings. The point being made that you have no doubt guessed by now is that these people don’t deserve hanging out with. They are more bigoted than any mainstream pop fan, who at least aren’t making any pretenses about their lives through their music.
At least you have the courage and intelligence to like music which you like and not music to cater to their standards. You owe it to yourself to tell these people where to get off, or even better, do exactly what pisses them off. As you say, turn up to a jazz place playing an unapproved of guitar.Thats me done for today, but you’re not the only one.
I has not been on my computer for a while so,
ditto what Mr Javro has to say. Actually it was my birthday on the 30th last month but that wasn’t too good anywayz, I hope you had a kool day and got lots o’ kool stuff.Bye
Just thought of a few more:
Jane’s Addiction – Named after the prostitute friend Jane, who introduced Perry Farrell to one of the other guys and thats how they started.
Foo Fighters – American wartime pilots who claimed to have seen UFO’s in the skies above Germany
The Smiths – According to Morrisey it was the most ordinary name he could think of.
Motorhead – Slang for Amphetamine user/addict
Nine Inch Nails – Supposed to be the length of the nails that Jesus was crucified with (at least that’s what I read in aprofile of the band)
Bush – They’re from Sheperds Bush in London
Godsmack – Shite band who not only rop off Alice in Chains bigtime, but see fit to name themselves after one of the tracks on ‘Dirt’.
Anyways, thats all that I could think of of the top of my head. (Apart from Marilyn Manson, but everyone knows that story)
Just thought I’d add to your list,
My Vitriol – From the book Brighton Rock by Graham Greene. Vitriol is what they used to call Hydrochloric Acid – The character Pinkie in the book always carried a bottle with him to pour in the faces of anyone who might attack him (It’s a book set in the 40’s about underground British gangsters)
The Pixies – Black Francis allegedly randomly opened the dictionary and that was the first thing he saw, so they called their band that.
