Tuesday: here's a handful of grunge #ttts you won't wanna watch.
There will always be music for all tastes, for everyone, for each one and for any moment. All music in general tries to convey a message. A message of some kind. Whether through the melody, its rhythm, its harmony or more eloquently and evidently through its lyrics.
But it has only been for barely a few years in which music has also had another vehicle and mechanism to distribute its message in an even more forceful way through the mass media apart from the archaic radio. Perhaps, as a method of creating greater recall in the minds of their listeners. Which probably, is due to the lack and scarcity of live experiences of these latest generations due to spending each time more and more time alone glued to a screen of some sorts.
And therefore, most of them no longer have and have now missed the "experiential" opportunity to remember a song which has been invoked by a peculiar aroma, a particular situation, a memorable event or a live experience with someone that has been unforgettable.
This past Tuesday I shared with you a handful of songs that were meant to be seen more than to be heard. And I really hope that you have watched them more than heard them to truly extract their message. A handful of songs, which visually, I suppose you would want to see. However, on this occasion, I suspect that perhaps you wouldn't want to watch any of these and settle for just listening to them.
In any case and after the warning, here below I leave you this new handful of tunes to see what suits you better to watch. And if after that you feel like giving your opinion or commenting on something, then I'll wait for you in the comments section to discuss it. Yeah, each one to his own and in his own. But for now the only coherent and daring thing I can tell you is: "Enjoy the experience"

I am astounded you have found a performance by Layne Staley I was previously unacquainted with. I have not heard Mystik Spiral before. Odd how we can discover nescience having long since given up discovering anything new in a subject, after decades of study and enjoyment of such understanding as has been gained. And then Rooster, that so epitomized my vigor, my youth, and, soon enough, my dissolution and terminal end, seems apropos. However crippled by age and infirmity, I will surely strut across the stage to the exit, whichever way it may lead from there, cocksure and banty, rushing in at the head of trembling angels, when I am late to that last appointment.
Certain sure there is no reason to fear and cringe when that day comes. What should be held back then and conserved? Naught, and nothing should be seized so vigorously as that last bit to wring from life: dying.
Thanks!
Oh no, Layne Staley never belonged to or performed for a band called Mystik Spiral. Mystik Spiral is the name of a mexican fan of Grunge and Alternative Rock from the 80s and 90s who likes to translate the lyrics of many of those bands and has a YouTube channel where he shared the video above you refer to. And apparently, he must also be a fan of the animated TV series Daria. From where he probably adopted that username for his social media accounts.
As far as I know, certainly Layne Staley was in several rock bands. Not many but enough for his short life. And some of them quite famous and popular in the 90s. For instance, in the early days and still pretty young, he joined to a short-lived Glam Rock band named Sleze. And then after a year or so he joined another band initially called Diamond Lie which in a very short time they changed their name to Alice in Chains, which is the famous Grunge band by whose hits we know him the most nowadays.
Then, after about three years or so. He also wanted to create and be part of a new band as a side project with members of other bands in the Seattle grunge scene with musicians who had already achieved great success in their respective bands of origin. From that initiative was how the rock supergroup The Gacy Bunch was born. A band which in a very short time would change its name to Mad Season which would record a single album in 1995 called "Above" whose song "Wake Up" is the one that appears in the video that I have shared in this post.
As an additional anecdote, just mention that Layne Staley also appeared as a guest vocalist in other three bands such as: Second Coming, The Aftervibes & Class of '99.
LOL You put me to shame. I just really like the timber of his vocals, and was stunned by his work with AIC. I don't think I knew any of that you just posted. I do appreciate your exegesis!
You made a great research and found a great performance
Thank you! :)
Which of these performances did you like the most?
The last one it's really amazing
