My dad, of all people, broke the news to me both times. No, I didn't. Hardly surprising, though, knowing the depths of his depression. My dad told me, too, which was fitting, since he's a musician (drummer), and he played Nevermind nonstop in the early 90s. I was out in the garage getting out the Power Wheel out when he told me, lol. I also watched a good amount of MTV at that time, so Nirvana was very much a presence. I know, I was not a normal elementary schooler, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was born in 1951, so when we were up at the cabin and he was doing work on it, he would be listening to songs like: So yeah, least likely candidate to send me news about the death of a grunge singer. If he stopped by tomorrow and said "Did you know when they found Layne Staley's body he was only 80 lbs?" either my head would explode or I would ask how many people he killed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I got the sense that it wasn't his type of music. My dad was a 70s kid, but was pretty much into contemporary stuff in the 90s. The fact that your dad told you, though, just goes to show how much of a cultural phenomenon that band was. Everyone knew them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Cornell and Weiland both for me - I never tire of listening to their music, and never stop wishing they could come back and make more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising. You have a culture of "downer music" (as my mom liked to call Alice in Chains) and drugs in an area where it rains every damn day. Honestly, the body count is surprisingly low.

Have you ever watched the Alice in Chains unplugged? Staley was obviously a shell of himself due to the years of drug addiction, but I'll be damned if he didn't still come out and absolutely crush it. Incredible performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
