I started this channel so fans of Layne Staley can see what he was really like as a person when he was alive.
I found it frustrating as a fan that a lot of information regarding his life was suppressed one way or another because of other people's agendas.
Layne had been working on a book titled "Self Portrait" as well as a solo album which did not involve Mad Season or Alice in Chains. People assume that he just withdrew and used drugs after 96. He was unable to move forward with his solo album because he "allegedly" lacked support from his label and former bandmates. His contract with Sony "allegedly" did not allow him to move forward with many of his projects. I take it this is what Layne referred to as his "Corporate Prison"
I hope you enjoy my Layne Staley channel.
