Layne Staley - Innocence Captured in Black & White

I couldn’t imagine a more beautiful image of Layne at the beginning of his career – a Rock Star. In fact, he was one before he ever sang a note. When I look at this photo I think about the risk he took to follow his dream. Taking a huge risk to try singing, instead of drumming. What I can say for certain, Layne has left a monumental legacy behind. He’s finally getting acknowledged instead of…

Being at the Taylor Hawkins tribute show was the best experience of my fucking life. Being right at the front and seeing how Taylor managed to bring all of these people together even in death..wow. I'm still in awe. I just got out and I came right here to put my feelings down because I don't want them to escape me. Seeing so many of my idols up there, celebrating the life of one of my other idols, was just.. indescribably incredible. They all looked so fucking proud of Taylor and everything he's done, wow. Honestly seeing literally 4 generations up on that stage was so incredible!!? When Bri came up to the front..he was so close and I could feel the energy coming off of him, he was so amazing. When Paul fucking McCartney walked on without warning I think I SCREAMED!! He was so fucking incredible and I can't even..I'm still absolutely reeling from the fact that I managed to see all of this so close. And then of course Taylor's son.. I cried so bad. He looked like he was having the time of his life but I can't imagine how hard it must've been for him to play. And the end..god. Seeing all of them on stage together and giving Taylor a big, loving send off made me absolutely bawl my eyes out.

Taylor Hawkins was such a beautiful soul, a fantastic drummer and an even better person to be around. And this is just proven in the way that he has united all these musicians and people in one long marathon concert to celebrate him and his legacy. The range of emotions I've felt throughout these hours is huge, but it's been the best experience ever. And it doesn't even come close to paying back everything Taylor gave.

Fun, emotional tribute.

The only thing I skipped was May and Taylor's continuing efforts on shitting and destroying Queen's good name and legacy.
