I remember years ago there was this one goon that claimed to live near a bar that Layne Staley would sometimes drag his shambling corpse-like body to and he'd just sit in a corner by himself off his tits on drugs nursing a beer for ages and never talking to anyone. Guy wasn't really alive for ages.

iirc the first time people thought he might be dead was cos his lawyer wondered why he hadn't been in touch for a couple of weeks to get drug money.
His story was a lot sadder than Kobain's though. He died because his absent father would drop in to his live now and again to ask his successful son for money before disappearing again. Then Staley kicked H after a long time and his dad pops in on him again and says "hey son, you're still rich right? what's say we bond over some china white?" Then dad left again and his son stopped seeing all his friends and died alone in a rathole in filthy clothes with a needle in his arm.

Greatest musician of all time is John Shore. After blowing his face out playing trumpet for the King of England he went on to invent the tuning fork.

That's more than Cobain accomplished after blowing his face out.

Courtney Love had Burt Cocaine killed because his drugs hobby was more expensive than a funeral. She offered El Duce of The Mentors a sum to do it, he ran his mouth, and just so happened to be found passed out in front of a train on accident a week later.

Didn't his fiance also OD and die or something, and then he went like crazy off the rails?

I can't tell if this is sarcastic and I think it raises an interesting question

Rich person quitting heroin:
+Much more stable environment
+Actual treatment
-Gnawing knowledge that you can absolutely shoot as much heroin as you wish until you die and there is no social or practical force that will stop you

That part I don't remember, but the part that sticks out is that his bandmates and friends tried to get him to stop and he told them all to go to hell. He effectively cut everyone out of his life so he could suicide by heroin.

The first thing Kurt Cobain asked for when he came out of his coma in Italy was his Frogs cassettes.

The true answer is The Frogs are the greatest musicians of the last 100 years.

Right, he wanted to be in a virtually unknown band like Flipper or Scratch Acid. Instead, he became a rock star and would have Perez Hilton following him for the rest of his life.

Also, I'm the goon who mentioned that my friend that lived in Seattle took me to the bar where Layne would sit in the corner and nod off. He actually lived in a decent condo in the UDistrict at the time of his death.

Someone find the video of Cobain talking with William S. Burroughs.

Kurt also was a cool artist who'd hammer nails into doll heads and poo poo. He was a pale, beta feminist who hated himself as all people should strive to do.

The only black musician I would stalk is Tricky.

The ongoing history of new music had a great piece on Layne Staley. His hermit tendencies didn't really kick in until his fiance or love of his life or whatever suddenly died of a blood infection or something. Then he became a recluse.
