I hope everyone that ordered the new Layne Staley book has been enjoying it like Manda and I have.
•
I wanted to share a couple pictures that I enjoyed (among so many others). I also made a HUGE discovery in one of the photos. The 1st image in no. 1 (above left) is a photo of Layne. I believe this is mid 1980’s. I remember those awful sweaters that were popular then. Bulky and not flattering whatsoever. The comment underneath states that this was Christmastime. It also states that his Grandpa Layne is in the background. I do wish there was an image of his grandpa Layne. Just to see the resemblance.
•
Image 2 (bottom right), Layne age 7, Stevenson Elementary. And guess what?? Layne and I were in grade school together. I also attended Stevenson Elementary. Although Layne & I were born the same year, the month he was born determined the year he’d graduate. Layne graduated in 1986, I graduated in 1985. Something else I found out when the book was announced, the hospital Layne was born in. Overlake in Bellevue. Both myself and my middle sister were born there.

What a REVELATION!!

My friend Manda & I have been promoting the book for weeks now. Here’s what she wrote tonight & the pics she shared. I absolutely adore the skateboarding one from 1991❤️.
•
“Tonight I wanted to share with you all two new photos of Layne from "This Angry Pen Of Mine. ❤️💖🖤 the first photo is of Layne wearing a hat that was made by his friend, Rachel. Rachel made many of Layne's hats as was stated in the book. The date of the first photo is not mentioned. The photo was taken by Layne's mom, Nancy. The second photo is of Layne on a skateboard in 1991. The photo was likely taken by Joe Giron. Both of these photos are super special. The photos in this book truly shows Layne in some very candid moments. I hope those of you who have the book are enjoying it! Love you, Layne! ❤️” 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢

Huge shoutout to all of you who purchased and/or still waiting for your copy of Layne’s new book; “This Angry Pen of Mine; Recovering the Journals of Layne Staley”. I’ve typed that title at least 500-600 times over the past few months. In all honesty, I do believe we needed it. Right now I am working on a review of the book. Once I’ve finished, I’ll share a portion on here and provide a link to my website for the rest.
•
Moving on, last month I found some advertisements from October/November 1993, when AiC headlined the 2nd leg of their European Tour. Alice spent a couple weeks in Australia kickin’ ass & taking names😂😂.

SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST!
•
The members of Alice In Chains have waited patiently, more patiently than its most loyal fans. After tonight’s induction of Soundgarden - the 3rd of the “Big 4” from the grunge era…..we as Alice In Chains fans, need to step the HELL UP! Glad we aren’t the only ones who think that🤘🏼🤘🏼.
•
•
“As grunge (the grunge era) began to take hold in the ‘90s, leaving the guitar theatrics of metal in the dust, Alice in Chains bridged the gap between both sides. With a riff-centric focus relying on downtuned, sludgy effects and a flair for simpler songwriting that grunge so readily brought back, the Seattle group authored nothing but classic albums in their first incarnation. While their reunion has been an overwhelming success with standout new records as well, the Layne Staley-led lineup is the one the Rock Hall can’t afford to sleep on.”

I do have to correct something in this statement; Alice In Chains songs were far from simple. The lyrics written prove that. Have you read any of them???

30 Years ago today (actually 11/7/95), Alice in Chains released their 3rd studio album. The album’s songs focus on heavy emotional content and subject matter such as drug addiction, depression, religion, broken relationships, and the internal tensions within the band. The album’s music relies less on metallic riffs and more on melody and texturally varied arrangements, integrating some of the more delicate acoustic moods of their EPs.
•
The tracks “Grind”, “Heaven Beside You” and “Again” were released as singles. “Grind” and “Again” were nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. The album was certified double platinum by the RIAA and has sold over three million copies worldwide.
•
Few of the songs on the album had been written before the sessions began, so Cantrell’s material was used as a starting point. The band would then give the demo tapes to Staley so he could write lyrics. The album was finished in August 1995. Cantrell said, “It was often depressing, and getting it done felt like pulling hair out, but it was the fu***ng coolest thing, and I’m glad to have gone through it. I will cherish the memory forever,” while Staley added, “I’ll cherish it forever, too, just because this one I can remember doing.”
•
Cantrell said, “Our music’s kind of about taking something ugly and making it beautiful.”
•
With the exception of “Grind”, “Heaven Beside You”, and “Over Now”, the lyrics are written entirely by Staley. Staley said, “I just wrote down whatever was on my mind...so a lot of the lyrics are really loose. “Sludge Factory” was written about a call Staley and Wright received, while at the studio, from Columbia executives Don Ienner and Michele Anthony. Lenner and Anthony told them they had nine days to finish the record, because they had already taken a lot of studio time.
•
Alice in Chains debuted at no. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with first week sales of 189,000 copies, and stayed on the chart for 46 weeks.
