Experienced
I was an acquaitance for a short time ,of one of the leaders of the " grunge scene " Layne Staley, and at the time I was into Ozzy , Kings X , Extreme , Megadeath hard rock / metal. I did not have the heart to tell him I was unfamiliar with his music and did not " get it " . He was an amazing man gifted , brilliant and troubled . But he was not able to get away from his demons and dope. I suppose all the fame success and adulation is not able to change who you are inside . I am very glad and lucky to be alive to tell the tale . I am still not a big fan of the genre but when an Alice in Chains song comes on the radio I think " Layne Dude ! " and I wish he had been able to get clean and not sink like Kurt did into the grip of whatever demons were troubling them . VBM \m/
