He's amazing He's deserves it

The 90s most influential singer and he is highly respected. He was the Jim Morrison of the 90s

Layne deserves to be respected.

No touring under AIC name

He's the greatest Musician of our time

Layne sta ley the best ever

LONG LIVE LAYNE!!!!

Layne Staley was an iconic figure of the 90s for teenagers of that time. Were we pissed that he did drugs and was a no show at his concerts? Hell yes we were. But that didn't mean that we didn't like his music. It was part of our time and our generation no matter how much it pisses us off.

He deserves this more then anyone. You will forever be a legend and muse to me Layne.

There will never be another like Layne. He deserves so much more recognition than he gets.

I think that Layne is the most talented musician ever. He deserves so much more than he gets.

Still at a loss that he no longer is here...however it is hard to believe a talent so great with a spirit so strong can just disappear. He should get more recognition for his accomplishments.

Layne Staley Was/Is My Hero & Anything To Honor Him,I'm Behind 1000%!!!! Thanks!!!!

As a Seattlite and someone who saw Layne's highs and lows... We all here know how important he was to all of our lives and an amazing period we all shared. His talent was amazing beyond words and his kindness should be shown.

an angel then and an angel now. the most beautiful person to have ever lived. incredibly poetic & extremely talented. his voice...theres none other like it. he was one of a kind. a titan. a legend. and he deserves SO much more recognition. not a day goes by that i don't listen to his music. hes the best there ever was. i really really hope you guys can make something happen for him. love you Layne!! you are SO VERY missed!!! ♥

Layne is my favorite singer of all time.

He should get a posthumous Grammy for song writing and his contribution to music.

He's a legend goddamnit!

Layne is without a doubt one of the best vocalists of all time. His songs just get better everytime you hear him.

Best singer ever!!!

I need to know more about Lane Staley and his life. He is Highly underrated. It has to be correct and the full truth and his family has to feel like it's an accurate depiction. They must give their blessing to the final outcome.

Absolutely astonishing singer, gives you the chills everytime you hear him sing, I am a huge fan of him, he deserves to be recognized. R.I.P Layne

Totally agree, Layne is so underrated

Where does this petition stand today?

One of the best rock singers of all time! This needs to happen!

Make this happen. Layne had a one of a kind voice, and talent. He was a beautiful soul.

Layne should be honored for his contribution to music

Yay layne staley

Layne was the best singer from the grunge era, extremely gifted and influenced countless rock groups. His legacy should be remembered with a book or documentary

He is genius!

I vote for this all the way!

I hope this helps the cause.

Simply one of the greatest most unique haunting lyracist/singers to leave an indelible mark on those he has touched.

Long time fan of Layne and the band. The barriers he knocked down for the truth, says it all. An endearing soul that is highly respected by myself.

Layne Staley forever!

Layne Staley was an amazing singer..writer.. person.. he changed the world with his music. and 13 years later millions and millions of fans listen to him everyday...

Layne is beyond deserving of a dignified telling of his gifted, yet short lifetime. THE BEST hands down.

"I'm a riddle so strong, you can't break me." <3

Still the only man who can make me relax when I hear his voice. His music saved my life!

He's my hero.

LayneLove

Layne Rulz!!!

Alice in chains expressed pain and sorrow in there music, things that can relate to a lot of people. No matter the race, age or gender. Layne staley was one of a kind, his voice was deep and raspy and he could sing he's ass of, I could listen to his voice all day it was euphoric. In a world where meaningless pop dominates mainstream music. I really appreciate the gift of being able to listen and hear music that I can relate to.

Layne Thomas Staley was the best singer of our generation. Last be deserves the respect that is due to him. He should not be remembered by his addictions, but by the voice that has changed countless people's lives and for his ability to delve deep into people's souls, heart, and feelings with his art form. He had the voice of an Angry Angel- may you Rest In Peace brother... Now your wings are no longer denied.

God yes he should be honored. He's the god of seattle music and the sound they cant be remade ever. Luv u Layne

Layne Staley is an absolute legend.

Bad Ass

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ my heart and soul.

The name Layne Staley speaks volumes. The empact hes had on the music industry & his die hard fans needs no explaining. Noone now or back then could do what he done in his short life her. Im very blessed i kn Layne & his music. *1# in our hearts* ;)

I have the perfect cast for a biopic at my house for a little Layne and older Layne.

Layne Staley deserves recognition for his unbeaten work and talents as an artist. Nothing has been done to honour him and Alice in Chains deserve to be sitting up there in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Staley and Starr looking down proudly.

Layne was an awesome vocalist

i agree with this petiton

Thank you all for starting ths petition he is awesome

The best!

Greatest Vocalist of our generation, absolutely inspiring.

Layne was and is an extremely gifted musician. He has shown excellent stage presence, dedication and professionalism in spite of his struggles. It didn't matter if he had a broken leg, arm or do to his sickness...... He still have himself 100% and put that band on the map! He never promoted his illness, if one listened to the music, he was sending the opposite message and it was genious and very very difficult to open up about his issues with EVERYONE in the world. I mean, who does that? He gave and gave and gave and didn't get much back in return. Its time to give back to Layne. He's standing above...... So let's acknowledge him as he watches on. Love you Layne.

Badass dude

I want Jerry to write a book about AIC and Layne...I believe he (and Sean Kinney) are the only people alive that have the knowledge to write on this subject.

layne god

JUST DO SOMETHING IN HONOR OF HIM FOR HIS FANS.

Would love a proper and real documentary about AIC/Layne Staley. Not a 1 hour VH1 special, but a real 2-4 hour documentary chronicling the band's history up to present day. A filmmaker like Cameron Crowe (did the Pearl Jam 20 documentary in 2012) who was around during the Seattle music explosion would be perfect to make this rockumentary. Make it happen! It's time AIC and Layne to got their due. They've earned it and their music has stood the test of time.

The best vocalist of the grunge era, and one of the greatest voices in music history

you would not be credible if you didn't credit his contributions to rock.

Layne is Alice in Chains.

One of the best vocalists in rock history. He definitely deserves credit.

Love and miss Layne soooo much !!!!

love him, he was a very unique individual whose soul was broken by love & drug addiction. I understand how he felt; however I have children & a lot smaller bank account... or I believe I could very well be in shoes. drugs kill more than just the addict. HEARTBROKEN

I'm a 37 yr old hip hop fan almost exclusively, but there are a few bands that I have always been super obsessed with. A.I.C. is one of those 3-4 bands. Layne has, in my opinion, the most incredible voice in music, i also relate to his music and have always preferred the darker content. This band, and Layne in particular, are the only rock band that I have had an album from that I can play from start to finish and honestly love every song. This would be a great and long overdue project. I have searched the internet for Alice documentaries and couldn't find any!

Layne deserves respect

I only feel like myself when Layne's around....RIP, Teach me, Dearly Missed, Nothing more to lose.

Layne Staley lives within

I would love anything that I could learn more about AIC.

Layne and his music truly helped me through some tough times in my life.

LS G.O.A.T THE VOICE!

I'm disappointed there is only 1157 signatures to this INCREDIBLE idea~!

Gifted talent

Most beautiful and power voice in rock.

All time greatest

L.S.

I would love for layne staley to be recognized for his contributions to music. He was simply amazing.

Layne was awesome, I loved his voice...He should be honored in some way.

He was incredible! Such talent. I watch and listen to AIC videos all the time. He is at peace now. Gone but will never be forgotten.

He saved my life.

Layne deserves more than just recognition he was a lyrical genius, and grips my soul evertime I hear his name let alone the chills i get from his voice. I was disgusted when he wasnt even given recognition for even dying that year! I for one dont watch them anymore...

Casually I have found the link of this petition and as soon as I have read the name Layne Staley I have immediately opened the page web to make me partecipe of this project. I hope indeed that we can honor the memory of this fantastic person that absolutely deserves to be remembered.

soft gentle soul...fought the battle alone :(..and lost..sings from the soul.... only if i could turn back time and try to save him ..the range of his voice was so brilliant ..tears flow freely for you layne as i listen to your tormented soul ..sleep in peace now sweet man as you have your wings xxx

Layne Staley shoud be honoured. He was/will be the greatest rock/heavymetal singer of all time.

For layne staley

Would love to see the full unedited unplugged and any other footage of Layne!

Such a beautiful voice! All heart & soul....

layne was the best singer of 90'

Anything that can bring attention to this man's incredible art and talent I'm all for.

RIP Layne!

Layne Stanley's etched in my heart & in many millions of others. For the gifts of his SOUL & how humbly, honestly & generously he gave them. Would?

Rock On!!!!!

I love layne Staley. The best of the the true white blues vocalist. A beautiful man that touches every cell in my body when he sings....

Layne Staley a true rock'n'roll legend. Now in days every one brands themselves as a artist or a musician. When it comes to my "layney" which is what I call him* he is the real deal. His parents have to be so proud as they see AIC unplugged or a video on tv. Maybe even when they turn on the radio in the car and they hear his beauitful gift his voice. I know how he makes me fee when I hear him. I would like to thank them from bringing him into my world. May God have mercy all of us. May God keep Layne Staley.

LAYNE STALEY AND HIS VOICE FOREVER LiVE IN MY SOUL!!! WHAT A AN AWESOME PERSON HE MUST OF BEEN!!!

Layne ❤️

#LayneStaley

R.i.p. layne staley

LOVE LAYNE

A true rock god.....love you Layne....RIP

Layne Staley was a great singer, left the world too soon. AIC is a great band and should be remembered.

It would be imperative to have something published about Mr. Staley's talents, Music, Lyrics, Writings (...ie, Poetry, Lyrics, Quotes, Philosophies, Insights, & General writings). Along with his Artwork. His hardwork, Training, Studying and Management and Production inputs. Also his life, with his family & Friends. Not Just his drug use (Heroin, Cocaine & Drinking. Or the other lifestyle that is associated with Rockstars) Just the Talented man. Where and how he recieved his inspiration.

The man was a genius, his voice was so beautiful. My idol and all time fave singer. Definitely needs to be honoured. I still live in the past listening to early alice in chains and mad season. I just can't bring myself to listen to all the current chart rubbish after hearing his voice. Love u layne. RIP xxx

Pure Talent! I really miss him

This is a must. Simply a matter of when. NOW!!!!!

All heart, seemed, as he was a very conse

Layne Staley best singer ever!

Layne was an icon, his music has influnced so many people including myself.

Layne was a gifted man.

He deserves recognition for all he gave to us. Not just an add for drug abuse. He was a beautiful person inside and out. #onlyloveforlaynestaley

Layne was a gifted and very talented musician he deserves to be honored and remebered hes also a big influence in my life of music i love u layne

aic

Tiene que ser honrrado por ser una excelente persona un gran musico y una de las grandes voces de la historia de la musica

Layne was one of the best musicians out there, and he deserves justice and to be noticed more than he is.

Layne Staley definitely deserves to be recognized for his musical talent. His voice alone was amazing.

Im Sorry I'm late ... Never forget Alice in Chains

This is right and just.

Jesus

Layne Staley, I started listening to Alice In Chains last year, I'm hooked, Layne's vocals we're amazing, I say he is the best vocalist of all time, and was not honored properly compared to Kurt Cobain and Chris Cornell and etc. And I think he deserves to be honored respectfully for all of the songs he has wrote (although they are not many) and his talent, and that he could sing toothless, who would do that. He has to be honored.

A MTV/VH1 Behind The Music Special/Rockumentary: (since AIC is out on tour again w/the new lineup & songs, we feel as though it would not only honor Layne's memory & achievements w/AIC, but also promote the band.) *Which has already brought a new generation of AIC fans, not to mention that in every interview the topic of layne staley comes up*

Hi

I would absolutely love to see the incredible Layne Staley honoured the way he should be. A one in s billion talent, we will never see his like again. RIP Layne.

RIP LS He was the greatest vocalist and frontman of all time. He deserves this.

I love the fact that this is a thing layne staley change my life and I want to share that with everyone

I would love to participate in any way possible. I love Layne, he has quite literally saved me through his music & lyrics, art, & poetry.

Layne Staley is a legend! His haunting and beautiful vocals live on. We are blessed to have that. I agree that he was looked over in memorial types of programs in comparison to the other grunge lead singers. I would love to see more about Layne but I could never get enough of him.

He was the most amazing man that the music business has ever known!

Put AIC in the RR Hall of Fame!

Layne was & will always be one of the best musical talents of all time. His music, art & influence should be showcased not only for his long time fans but also for newer fans that don't know much about him.

I want the name of Layne Staley to go down as one of the most gifted singers in the world.

I think AIC is one of the most influential bands , not to forget that Lane Staley was one of the most influential vocalists of the last 30 years !!! They deserve by tribute to be made about the band and him

Please honor the talents of Layne Staley

A true book

Why hasn't he been recognized already. He shaped a lot with AIC and to this very day touches old and new fans.

This needs to be done!

I think Layne Staley was an amazing artist and should be recognized for his achievements.

As long as family and the band want to do this i think it would be an amazing idea

he was the greatest singer of all time

This man deserves to have his story told!!❤❤

Great singer and loved the band

None.

Agreed!

Layne is up there with best. Perhaps he is the best!

Make this happen!

One of the greatest singers.

Been waiting for something like this for years.

Layne Staley is still my absolute favorite musician, i am honored to sign this petition.

#1 AIC FAN

Layne & his family & his AIC family, friends, & fans deserve this!

Get it done

They should just respect privacy

It's about time. This man was one of the greatest vocalist of all time. A true icon.

layne was a talented, sweet, thoughtful, humble man who touched the lives of many

I absolutely LOVE Layne Staley & any and everything he ever did!!! He most definitely is a legend and deserves to be honored as just that. Layne helpede through some of the darkest times of my life and I'm alive signing this petition because of Layne

very well

Make a great biopic

Layne saved me like many others

Yes

I totally agree

I agree 100%. Layne Staley should be honored for his contributons to music and to or only to my generation but to a whole new generation of believers, followers, & the the truly inspired.

He earned great respect and admiration despite his shortcomings. More than one generation loves and others will continue to love his contributions to art for generations to come.

Layne was an amazing singer, songwriter, and performer. I believe his contributions to music have been terribly underrated, in part because of his absence from the public eye in the years before his tragic death.

Layne gave a gut wrenching, sorrowful, and astoundingly beautiful contribution of music which has influenced all rock and roll in a profound and permanent way. Though we have lost many other talented musicians since, his absence continues to break my heart the most.

Layne was a GOD when it came to writing songs and how it was to be an addict thus helping ppl like me overcome the hell of using drugs. and when it came to singing....there is no one else that sounds like Layne...he was one of a kind!!

Layne Staley was an amazing talent. He lives on in his music. I loved him then in 1992 when I was 19 and I love him now in 2017 when I'm 44. Never gets old for me.

You were, you are inspiring. I'm a songwriter, artist ,and struggling with PTSD agoraphobia anxiety and several health issues. Your musical gift and voice create a space to breathe in where hope Lays by my side.

My favorite artist of all time.

He was the "THE BEST"

The one!

A movie based on true facts about his life. I feel so sorry for those who where close and couldn't help him recover. Such a loss, not only to the fans, but to those who were family and friends. Long live Layne. Go ever in my heart, and singing in my ears.

A true tribute long overdue!

most notable for me: DIRT (entirety..however,) Dam That River, Sickman, Junkhead, Hate To Feel, Godsmack FACELIFT: We Die Young, I Can't Remember, It Ain't Like That, Sunshine, Somethin' 'Bout You, Real Thing SAP JAR OF FLIES *JERRY CANTRELL➡proud autograph possessor AIC⭐FOREVER

His music saved my life in my younger years. I cried the day he died. I'm 43 now and AIC music is but a nostalgic glimpse into my past many years ago..but how sweet it is to experience.

King Of Grunge.....His Wings No Longer Denied

Layne should be recognized and honored as a singer, artist, performer, musician, songwriter and lyricist

I feel that Layne Staley's contribution to music is one that should be honored and appreciated. Music wouldn't be the way it is if it wasn't for this true master of lyrics. True music talent isn't appreciated these days. It's a shame that such an iconic figure of ROCK AND ROLL isn't even acknowledged by the people who run the hall of fame. But hey really he will always be appreciated by all of his fans. Thank you for your time. And thank our Eternal Creator for Layne Staley!!!!!!! Forever in chains Layne Staley!!!!!

I think that everyone should take a few minutes and the printed bottom of the Music Bank CD Boxset. It is removable and very much worth the time

I'm a big fan of his talent. His voice is so singular... Layne lives within!

Layne is THE rock God!!

The best rock starr. Well maybe Jim Morrison is tied with him?

Should be in rock n roll hall of fame!!!!!

Layne has helped me go threw so many things in my life and so many others! His talent and just being such a beautiful person has gone unnoticed in the music industry for way to long and just his unmatched best vocalist to ever grab a mic! AIC in general jerry Cantrell was/ is the best lyricist ever to write a song and continues doing so to this day and Sean Kenny, mike well both-mikes really all that talent and they need to be in the hall of fame . I know they could care less but as fans and for them to be able to thank all the people that helped them along the way should be recognized as well cause I just think they are one of the greatest bands to ever, ever come from Seattle oh yeah and the world!

He was so very brilliant!! Musical Genius ❤

Layne is aawesom, period.

Layne Staley with no hesitation. The most sexiest voice ever.

he deserves it

Layne is the best frontman of all time

No doubt he deserves recognition and/or to be honored for his musical contribitions. He was indeed amazing.

A Big Fan sign in Layne Staley memory, he surely was one of the most gifted vocalist ever! Personally I have not a single doubt about it and I am very sorry I cannot meet him live and I am very sad he is not here with us anymore. We shall and we can celebrate Layne Staley listening to AIC music at least, but it is not enough!

The absolute best singer of 90's, he truly deserv.

AiC is my favorite band. We need to honor Layne

incredible vocals

Layne Staley- a true musical inspiration, sang with so much soul and emotion

Alice in chains is life

Layne Staley should be remembered as a musical icon. His music, his lyrics have touched so many people. He has written a lot of music that for better or worse has influenced many other musicians of our time. His voice is unrivaled still, and his words contain so much emotion that modern music since him has lacked. Rest in peace Layne. No more suffering.

I sign thid petición cause i lovr alo the work and history of Layne In writing from Arequipa Perú

Great voice, great lyrics, great musician, amazing character, big loss..

The best rock singer of all time! His voice will never be silenced!

Judge not for ye be judged.

Long overdue

Layne is The Godfather of grunge, his music, his lyrics, his powerful voice, his style make him a gift from god to all us. I can just say thank you Mr Layne Staley

Layne sounded like no other and had one of the strongest and most beautiful voices I've ever heard. He and his music are so under appreciated, and it's about time he gets the recognition he deserved.

Layne can never be replaced or compared to anyone

Layne is the best artist to come out of the Seattle scene. We should honor him and all of his work. He is missed!!!!

Love his voice

So much love for Layne Staley and his contribution to music

Layne was truly a remarkable, unforgettable soul who more than deserves his recognition.

Layne deserve it! He lives in our hearts forever!

If a person can't feel the desperation, fear, angst, and depression in the outpouring of Layne Staley..... they're deaf/blind/stupid....

Yes, yes, hell yes! Honor Layne Staley's contributions to music with all respect due to this music legend!

Awesome voice and vocal range like i’ve Never heard before.

Mike Starr should hav called 911

Layne Staley is one of, if not The best male vocalist in Rock n roll history. & I ♡You Layne soulful Angel miss You SO much!! You touched my heart & soul & let me know I wasn't alone in my pain & confusion. Thank you so much ♡

Lane made the band in the early days. Jerry deserves to move on which is great and the rest of the guys deserve too also but Lane was and always is A.I.C.

Whoa, not nice. Kinda harsh, don't u think . Don't blame him for Layne:(

And on my forearm and on many other dicipels' various body parts❤

Should be carved in gold somewhere

I'm by no means religious, but Layne, rest his soul, is MY god!!❤Wherever he is, I so hope he's found peace

We should be so thankful to his parents for bringing him into our lives. Love you , mom and dad❤ I've gotta get off my phone. Huge lump in my throat and hard to type through major eye sweat!!

Best voice of his era

No point even discussing this topic...

Layne forever

It’s long overdue

Amazing talent! Beautiful soul

Layne and Alice in chains saved my life and gave me a reason to keep moving forward

I started listening to AiC a lot about a year ago and I just can't get enough. It never gets old. Everything about the band is intriguing to me, and the things they did in the 90s just doesn't seem like it gets enough credit.

oh absolutely should be more than honored....

One of the greatest and should be honored accordingly

Fantastic voice, love AIC, I can just feel his pain. Sucked into a vacuum of destruction, with no pressure to push you back. Hits home with me. Please, Please tell your loved ones and anyone you come across that only cure is to never start. Love you man

Do it

Talented and tortured soul that ended way too soon. Peace

Layne deserves a lot more recognition than what he got; his voice is like no other. He impacted my life in so many ways... not a day goes by that I don’t listen to him!

A true legend

Without Question one of the greatest singers ,and frontmen in music history!

Layne Staley was such a strong vocalist and excellent front man. His range was incredible and the depth and power was one of a kind. He was a personal friend and beautiful soul who really put Seattle on the map of hard rock bands that will remain timeless.

Layne Staley is a musician legend who belongs in the hall of fame

Layne Staley is one of the greatest singers and deserves to be recognized.

Kanye was a true artist, I personally have missed his voice and him since he left this world ! I will All ways remember him, his music and voice are seared in my mind and soul ! AIC , we're one of my favorites of all time and still are and forever will be ! Thanks for enriching my life , all you guys !

Es la voz más hermosa que he escuchado en toda mi maldita vida.. Layne me acompaña cada día..vive siempre en mi corazón.

Rip Layne

Best vocalist I have ever heard!! There is NO one else that can make you feel the raw emotion that Layne Thomas Staley can make you feel when he sings!! Its a crying shame he is not in the hall of fame for just his performance on MTV Unplugged!! That performance alone should have given him the credit he is due! I hate that Layne is gone and that there will be no more new music he will create, but the music he has left behind is some of the best music of a lifetime. Give this man the credit he is due!!! Just because he got addicted to drugs should not diminish the things he has accomplished! R.I.P. Layne Thomas Staley

Amazing Artist and Amazing story waiting to be told. He failed us but he also told us he would in his music. Will never forget the impact his music has made in my life...

Greatest power vocal for the time he graced our earth and his lyrics have helped many.

.

Layne Staley should be honored for his music contributions

AiC 4ever Layne "master of dark harmony" you r remembered "Get born again"

Best singer ever, deserves every thing he can get

Favorite singer, AIC favorite band. There's alot to tell about him, he deserves a documentary at least.

Layne was a one of a kind..what a talent..the rock world lost a great person and rock legend..RIP..

Layne Staley was the most true to his word lyricist. I have much admiration for him and he was One of the best singers of all time.

I love everything that Layne did ! And yes he absolutely deserves the Thrown

He needs to be redeemed. It's time, we can do that. Layne Staley come back

He was a great writer and had an amazing voice. Not to mention he was such a down to earth and nice person. He was taken too soon but his music lives on.

Alice In Chains should be in the Rock n’ roll hall of fame and Layne should be honored in every possible way for he was not only mine but many other’s idol he touched our souls with his music

Best voice ever

He was one of the most incredible singers I’ve ever heard. I wish I would’ve went to see them when I had a chance in my younger days. I’ve seen them with William Duval, and they were great but he’s no Layne! Thanks for trying to get him the recognition that he deserves! He wasn’t perfect, but who of us is?

Best singer i've ever heard, and best band tho

Layne Staley deserves to be honored for all his musical contributions AIC Mad Season etc.... Its long over due. RIP LAYNE ❤

His voice was, is, has a beautiful sadness. I miss him.

Layne was one of a kind, there's not been anyone who could even come close to his sound. His voice and his goofiness are truly missed♥️

I love Layne Staley!! He was a beautiful soul that had a tragic end. His vocals are unmatched in the music world. He will live on through his beautiful music.

Layne is by far the best singer of all time. He has contributed more then anyone ever can to music & songwriting.

Layne is criminally underrated and deserves a full legacy

Layne

"My bad habits aren't my title. My strengths and my talent are my title." -- Layne Staley Layne deserves to acknowledged for what he accomplished in his life. He should have been acknowledge in the 2002 memorial at the 2003 Grammy's. Layne was so much more than his drug addiction. Layne Staley's vocal range can run rings around any other grunge singer (including Chris Cornell) in my opinion. Layne could sing the phone book and never hit a wrong note. Even at the end of his life, with no teeth and a lisp, his voice, wit and humor were all still there. Layne's voice and vocal range was so powerful he did NOT need auto tune or pro-tools until he lost his teeth and had a lisp around 1998, and even then he still killed the vocals. As much as I think Layne sang better than Chris Cornell. Chris Cornell said that Layne sang like an angry angel. Barrett Martin (who played with Layne in Mad Season) said that when he stood to the side of the stage, he could hear the sound of Layne vocal resonance come out of Layne's body LOUDER than it did coming out of the speakers, Layne's voice was that powerful.

Payne paved the way for singers of today

Layne IS the greatest singer of ALL TIME! Alice In Chains has made some of the best music, and it’s a joke that the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame has not yet put these guys in there!!!!!

Layne Staley had an incredible voice and presence about him. He was an accomplished writer, musician, and production to make his music sound how he wanted. He progressed with his talents as time went on. His art is to be in a museum. His heart, music, and soul will live with the music we let into our souls.

Layne had a special talent with music and If his addiction didn't cost him his life we would have had so much more of his talent to enjoy. RIP Layne Staley

Like Jerry says one of the greatest singers of all time

Layne was one of the best voices in rock music history.AIC had huge impact on music evolution.

Alice In Chains (layne Staley) beautifully haunting and soul touching music. Love Layne and his voice.

I am in support of this petition as to Laynes talents be celebrated and continued through a accurate depiction of his life and bands life with the help and respect of family and friends...not some story told by a media person...a book done where the friends and family agree with what is written...and bc of that bands struggle came the dark songs that are having a heavy response from younger people who are growing up in this thriving drug culture of Opiates which kind of what happened when layne was growing up..cznt hide from the effects of it on layne or the band..but drugs are part of many rock n roll stories...would we have the music that we have today without drugs? Bc all your favorite songs that you love to hear were created by people that were real f%$#&in high on drugs...but layne was more than just a drug addict ...he fell victim to a very very difficult way of life that most of us will know nothing Bout ..the life of a world wide famous musician whos music will go down as some of the best we've ever heard or may ever hear again .... I don't know how I would deal with that either...American culture seems to press these people into a mold and then we suffocate them and now time n time again we keep losing these talented musicians..who are just regular people who bleed and suffer as we all do..so lets talk about laynes talent and achievement....lets not define him as something that none of us actually knowabout ...we know him as an amazing artist who was super kind and amazing at articulating his pain into words and complimenting those words with one of a kind vocals that I believe to be the best in rock music along with Chris Cornell rip...these artists should be treated like all the famous painters from Europe and Spain that the world marvels over except we can't alll see those paintings...we all get to listen the music and remember seeing these songs we love played live

everything for layne

Great singer

Layne's a babe

Greatest Frontman of all time.

Such a strong, powerful voice! Incredibly gifted singer, songwriter and front man! RIP Layne!

I hope the day comes where he is honored in the right way, whether that is by film, book or a day in his honor?

His lyrics and the emotion felt listening 2 him sing demand recognition. The harmony between Layne & Jerry are rare and deserve recognition. Jerry also is a lyrical genius.

layne is a fking leyend y el merece todo el reconocimiento que no se le dio. el me ha salvado de las garras de la muerte. no hay un solo dia que no escuche su voz.

G.O.A.T singer in my humble opinion.

Greatest of all time...still so relevant & healing to many.

Layne is Freddie Mercury level of greatness!

Layne Staley deserves recognition for the Amazing & Talented Artist he was & will continue being. As he continues to influence & be one of Musics Best Vocalists.

Layne is one of THE greatest singers EVER!!!

genius

Layne was such an awesome and perfect musician, all facts of his life in and out the band it's life lessons...

Best lyricist and singer ever!! He hits my soul still!!

ABSOLUTELY YES

I had known of Layne from Alice back in the day, however, with having a lot of spare time because of Covid I have completely fallen in love with Layne…he is so special. As someone who has struggled with addiction but because Ive seen people shunned unlike other addictions, I hold my struggle close to the vest and then I saw Layne on Utube reactions to Down in a hole on MTV unplugged and I was so struck by his talent and his raw openness of losing his battle with addiction, he laid himself bare with the angst of Kurt Cobain and the vocals that rival Chris Cornell and for that reason, he is the best artist I have ever heard. A lot of artist still to this day struggle with addiction but they do what addicts have always done which is battle it silently, not laying it bare like Layne. I have become obsessed with him,I watched and read everything I could about and WOW, Mad Season is a masterpiece and I believe Laynes destiny was to shed light on the fact that we as a whole are losing the battle and he is being discovered in a way he should have along time ago, as a man in pain and succumbing to his disease which had ravaged him and to shed light on the fact that rehab does not work. People in the spotlight have exposure to millions of people and a voice for those who are losing their battle and we hang on his every word because he’s so real and brave to be so honest. His voice never wavered whether he was roaring like a lion or singing like a wounded bird and there is and has never been an artist like him…he’s sweet, handsome and has the best voice of all time and out of his pain and affecting millions who struggle, his Mother created The Layne Staley Fund for addiction! This, as far as I know has never happened before and as his sickness grew to me his vulnerability made him more beautiful as his addiction ravaged his body…he deserves every bit the same reverie as Kurt Cobain, he should be in the Rock Hall and to be honored at a future Grammy presentation! Rest In Peace

In times of emptiness, despair, anxiety and isolation, Alice in Chains, Mad Season, and all the beauty that culminates in Layne's music has been that ever-elusive port in the storm for me, glinting, gleaming, never dimming. I'm almost ashamed to admit that it's only been painfully recent that I've even discovered AiC, but since the very first second I have fallen almost stupidly in love, enraptured by whatever it is that exists within their music, whatever strange magic or odd miracle that compels me to just play them and listen, again, again, and again. Suppose this is why Layne's legacy must be honoured- not only because he's 'the best' (true) or 'underappreciated' (also true, but the fact that there are as many signatures here proves he is so deeply loved), but because his and AiC's music has touched all of us in such a profoundly guttural and beautiful way; to even try and not somehow give back in a sense is unthinkable. We love you, Layne. Anyway stream bleed the freak live at the moore thx bye

Layne Staley had the most unique voice in any genre. His contribution not only in ALICE but also Mad Season, go above and beyond. Layne carried on no matter what he was going thru. He is a LEGEND and he deserves The HIGHEST recognition.

Layne Staley is one of the most important rock singers ever. Period. Thanks for your music.

The best voice of my generation. Gone to soon

Hope this happens soon!

Laynes story is beautiful and tragic. It deserves to be recognized.

Layne deserves so much because he gave us his soul. He has helped so many people, including me. He was a sweetheart ❤️

Layne had the most beautiful amazing voice ever.

Great Singer

I think it's absolutely ridiculous that Layne Staley isn't already recognized. I was completely devastated when I heard of Layne Staley's death almost an entire year after it happened! Kurt Cobain would be in the headlines every time he would fart but Layne Staley had to be dead almost an entire year for me to hear about it word of mouth? That just sickens me the way that the media favors some and ignores others largely due to record sales I'm sure. Layne Staley is one of the biggest influences on me vocally. I've heard through mutual musician friends that he was truly a really fun person to be around. We always lose the good ones too early, and now Scott Weiland and Chris Cornell too. I guess he was right, faster we run and we die young.

For sure Layne left a lot to music

Layne Staley deserves more recognition than I could ever hope to give.

He deserves to be recognised for his talent,he was the forefront of the band,no one cant toic his vocal capabilities

Layne Staley saved my life, many times. I know he's saved countless others as well. This is from a mental health standpoint. From a substance abuse standpoint, he did his best to warn others through his music about the dangers of drugs and he used himself as an example. Not many people can do that. Layne was so selfless and just wanted to make this world a better place. And he absolutely did

Agree

HES SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SOUL! I WISH I COULD CRY HIM BACK TO HEALTHY LIFE! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HIM HONORED IN ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME!!

Love & miss you, Layne!

This man is a legend.

Layne ❤️

Favorite vocalist of all time. Fellow addict. Sometimes the pain and suffering takes our desire to live.

Layne Staley was an amazing, beautiful person. As a die hard fan, I would give almost anything to have him back, BUT HEALTHY. No one can touch his vocal ability and range, imo. This man could read a phone book and I would listen fully. One of the most unique, powerful and talented voices to ever touch a mic.

The best voice of music history, a kind heart man whose words touched my soul.

He is The greatest of all time

It's 11/19/2023 and my daughter Laine is home from college. My wife at the time was pregnant when we found that Layne had passed. We named our unborn daughter Laine, in memory of Layne Staley. Spelled a bit different 'Laine' but still a tribute to Layne, showing our

For some reason, It is not letting me sign the petition, but you have my full support. Layne was a beautiful person who deserves the recognition he is owed.

We miss you so much, Layne. So , so much.

Layne Staley was the best of all the Seattle singers, yet so underrated during that time. Also, the fact that mental health and addiction were not seen as the illnesses they are known to be today, with so much stigma, is incredibly sad, as if we had all looked harder, and listened to what he was telling us, we would have helped millions of others, including Layne so much sooner.....

L&P

Layne is the best vocalist ever

LAYNE 4 LIFE

Layne is the GOAT

This should of been done long ago!

Glad i cud help things go and run easier by being part of this petition ; )
