Layne Staley - the Biggest Junkie in Seattle History

Layne Staley's University District apartment was littered with crack pipes, moldy take out food, bloody syringes, vomit, urine, porn magazines, whiskey bottles and feces when they found his emaciated body.

The corpse of the junkie singer for Seattle metal band Alice In Chains was bald, toothless and covered with sores. He had been dead for days.

I saw Lame at the Queen Anne QFC during his later years, buying an armload of cookies, candy and other sugary treats.

He should have stuck with the "soft" drugs - the kind of "smokeable flowers" that aren't opium, and that carry only "lowest priority misdemeanor" status in the city of Seattle.


The good stuff is now going for $25 a gram in Seattle, with no bulk discounts.

Speaking of that, thanks to "Biff" for finally hooking up the Tattler with a bag of the high quality BC "stank." I went through alot of pain and wasted time and money to get to this point, and I am going to hoard this stash - no sharing. The blueberry-smelling, sticky but not wet bag worked out to about $25 a gram. And why not? It's a sellers market, and the top end on the chain of endless middlemen and low level retailers are the big boys who face serious legal risks.

Number one in the Drug Dealers of America rulebook is: double your money. There's no reason to fuck around in the scary drug world unless you can sell your product for twice what you paid for it, minimum. Nobody rides for free.

or even safer than sugary sweets, he should have been addicted to a computer, writing blogs, as if people give a shit.

layne staley: talented, flawed, legendary, remembered

seattle tattler: no, yep, nope, not a chance

truth, yes
hurts, too bad.

he was a junkie, yep, but so much a more awesome person than you'll ever be.

You're a fucking pathetic faggot who is probably fat and can't go out into the world and get a real job.
Since when is publicly bashing dead musicians on the internet even cool?

Your a fucking idiot. Layne was one of the best that ever lived. I watched a family member go through heroin addiction. Its a DISGUSTING disease, that I would wish on no one. It takes control of your body. Layne was in pain... As all heroin addicts are.

FUCK YOU...

You people oughtta be fuckin ashamed!! Why do people INSIST on printing stories like this!! You only talk about Layne because he was FAMOUS, not for any other reason. There were no doubt thousands of bigger junkies than Layne was, and yet he's the one you pick on. This man suffered enough and died and he is missed dearly. He was right when he said he hated the press.
YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck you, asshole. Addiction is sad, as are the horrible things drugs do to a person's body. So you aren't an addict--great. Then what's your excuse for being an ugly, stupid, talentless piece of shit?

Seems so sick to the hypocrite norm
Running their boring drills
But we are an elite race of our own
The stoners, junkies, and freaks

You can't understand a user's mind
But try, with your books and degrees

My bad habits aren't my title. My strengths and talents are my title. – Layne Staley
Lets not say anything about the enormous talent that Layne was/is. He died a horrible lonely death, that’s horrible enough, but to keep having you waste of sperms getting a kick out of writing horrible article & books just to make a buck is disgusting. Layne was a beautiful person who cared about his family his friends and had a love for music and art. He gave us some of the best rock and roll there will ever be. He sung from the heart and held nothing back. Each song comes straight from that mans heart. He will be immensely missed from the Rock community. He was is and will always be the greatest rock voice in the world and for you to talk bad about him is down right disgusting. We all know he had a drug problem get the fuck over it, that not who the man was.

Fuck you I hope you get hit by a bus. Fuck-tard

I am so profoundly sad for you, sad that you will never fully grasp what it means to love another soul in this life. I am far more sad for you because not only do you have NO FUCKING idea what your ignorant mouth is spewing out, much like verbal diarreah, but mostly because...

You know absolutely nothing about Layne, this man was a son, a friend, an amazing force on much of the entire world. What he gave to this world could never be matched nor could he ever be replaced. I'm so very sorry for you, I'm sorry that clearly you have some mental conditions which prevents you from understanding reality.

I have never been so offened or defensive in my whole life then I am at this very moment. If I would ever have the misfortune of meeting you, the waste of flesh that you are... It would be a very, very dark and painful last day on earth for you.

Layne is/was the most gentle, sweet, loving, caring and amazing, talented and HUMAN person. Go get hit by a fucking car you knuckle dragging, piss stain. How would you feel if this was something that happened to someone that you love, someone that was more than a fucking billboard or a god damn dollar bill to you???

I want you to imagine someone you love, sick beyond comprehension, shaking, their organs shutting down, whitering away, scared, alone... You can't can you? Of course not because you are a disgusting bag of bile that has no understanding of what it truly means to be human.

FUCK YOU!

theres a big difference between you and Layne, He was a talented amazing person who met a dark end.

Your an untalented worthless person who's only goal in life is to bash people who saved lives wile you stuff your face, grow old, and fade into a even deeper abyss of obscurity than your already in. It really sucks that someone like you had a chance to see Layne when people like the fans can only dream of the chance.

yeah, wow, Let me ask you nay-sayers this: what the fuck have you done with your life. What's your name? oh, that's right, no one knows it. Because you'll never do .000001 percent of what he accomplished. You guys are pathetic. Layne played drums, guitar, sang, wrote half the lyrics amongst other things. What have you done? Oh, you've got a shitty webpage that I only heard about because I was looking up info. on Layne. lol... you guys suck.

did you see the movie Red Dragon? if you haven't, ...see it.

but if you did...there's a part that i love about the movie where a guy who worked for a shitty tattler got glued to a wheel chair... his tongue was bitten of...and for jolly pleasure he was set on fire and rolled over a hill... hahahaha..
and he was fat like you...

this might happen to you because you spoke badly about a person...

You write spiteful, gloating words. Is it your vocation in life?
Layne had vocation for art. He was gifted with a great voice, poetic abilities and he was a humble, sweet person. Believe me, there are thousands and thousands of people in different places, in different countries, they speak different languages and live different lives, - but all of them appreciate Layne. His songs have given them peace, and Layne has always been a person they adore. So am I. You tried to insult all these people. But I, personally, don't feel insulted. Because your words are vacuous and pitiful.
Layne was a great, god-touched person, he was a sunshine, he was a gift, he was a lonely soul who embraced a tragic end. These words have sense. Your words haven't.

I think it is sad how cynical you are on a talent lost. youre pathetic and will never even amount to the person he was even in death

Must you be so disrespectful to the dead? What is the purpose of this? He had millions of adoring fans..perhaps your parents are YOUR adoring fans but when you are gone, i guarantee no one will even care. You will be an unimportant blip just passing through. Wheres your compassion? Thats very god-like of you now isnt it. Fuck you

Do you not have respect for the dead? People do drugs for many reasons and some people can come back from them. It is a sad and total misfortune to the world that Layne had to be taken or rather let himself be take away by addiction. Rather then being hateful and judging, you should have compassion and understanding. You will to be in front of your maker!

You are a total piece of shit. Layne accomplished more in his short life as a junkie then you will ever accomplish as a non-addict. What in the fuck does that say about you? You're a talentless motherfucker and this lame blog is a shameful waste of bandwidth.

What an awful person you are to write such things. Weather it be about Layne Staley or any other dead musician. I kindly hope you rot in your computer chair that you spend so many hours in.
