Layne Staley – Vocal Range Study

Someone finally did a study on Layne’s vocal range.. pretty interesting stuff..by someone who actually took the time to do it right and KNOWS what their talking about..It’s really nice to see that people still care and that people see the genius in Layne that I personally saw the first time I heard him sing live. The man was just so talented. I’ll probably never get over how tragic the lose of Layne was to the world..and we lost him far before he took his last breathe. So unfair. However as two pretty deep dudes once said…”Your pain is self chosen”.

“My pain is self-chosen
At least so the prophet says
I could either burn
Or cut off my pride and buy some time
A head full of lies is the weight
Tied to my waist…”
Layne Staley – River of Deceit lyrics ~ Madeseason

“Much of your pain is self-chosen. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility: For this hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen…” – Kahlil Gibran (from The Prophet) (Read the Poem “On Pain”)

I think this is a good example of Layne’s vocal range myself..

I think it’s pretty obvious that he kicks serious ass right about …. HERE!

I’d like to hear which songs or videos you think he sounds the most powerful? What are your favorite Layne songs be it on Madseason or AIC? I personally love the whole Madseason album and pretty much every song on Dirt by AIC.
