It is indeed Layne Staley. I'm listening to Dirt as I type this, and I just finished listening to Unplugged. AIC is one of the most underrated bands.
It's strange that him and Kurt Cobain both died on Apr. 5; both addicts, both born in 1967, both very successful muscians from the same city who became popular at the same time, both fronted bands many classified as "grunge"...
Sheeesh!... I didn't even know they were both born in the same year. God I miss the early 90s grunge.
I have a couple of their albums. "Rooster" is one of my fav song. Jerry Cantrell is a musical genius too.
Jerry Cantrell is awsome. He wrote most of AIC's stuff, music and lyrics. I don't know if you're a Pantera fan or not, but Phil Anselmo came out and did Would? with the surviving members of AIC and dedicated it to Layne Staley and Dimebag at a show, which I thought was pretty cool. You can find it on Youtube if you're interested.
Damn! You reminded me of Dimebag Darryl too. Yea, I'm a big Pantera fan. I caught one of Phil's beer in a plastic cup in their concert.
