This woman is lazy and wants to milk them for all they're worth. She will lose this hard.

|
| |
Bullshit
|
| |
Layne would not be at all happy about this
|
| |
"SOME SAY SHE'S NAIVE,
SHE'S A STUPID BITCH!"
|
| |
damn id sue if a bunch of lazy alt metal niggas was ripping me off fuck you guys
|
| |
That's really dirty of her.
|
| |
get a job
|
| |
What a bitch
|
| |
Yes, let her try to sue you guys for 2 records worth of money that Layne Staley had no part in. This should be entertaining.
|
| |
lolice in chains. wonder if anyone read the link.
|
| |
Was it her on bass or what
|
| |
Backing vocals maybe?
|
| |
Bitch be crazy
|
| |
This is what happens when you cut your hair
|
| |
she ain't gonna win this lel
|
| |
wait..? staleys mom contributed to AiC music...?
|
| |
never really listened to alice in chains, but this is so stupid. I hate when people do stuff like this just to earn a quick buck
|
| |
shouldn't his money automatically go to his closest family member idk i doubt he wrote a will but that's how i thought it worked
|
| |
Fuck this bitch, get a job.
|
| |
"fuck this bitch, get a job." [2] but for real, jerry cantrell was pretty much THE creative force behind the band anyway, and, although lane was a great singer, he was and still is not as vital to the band's success as his mommy would like to imagine.
|
| |
sounds like something a woman would do yup.
|
| |
Lol collecting royalties for the success of someone else.
Get a job [3]
|
| |
"shouldn't his money automatically go to his closest family member"
yes, and seeing as he didnt have a wife or any kids when he died, it would go to his parents. or at least i would think.
|
| |
Fuck this bitch I'M NOT YOUR TOUR GUUUUIIIIIIDDDDDEEEE
|
| |
"wait..? staleys mom contributed to AiC music...?"
she took a dick to the cunt
|
| |
Yeah...she's come to stop the rooster...
|
| |
ppl
|
| |
This is so dumb it's funny.
|
| |
Alice In Debt.
|
| |
She's actin like a real diagonal ass nigga right now
|
| |
woww Layne would not be on her side on that one
|
| |
Wow, this bitch is an asshole. I agree with people saying Layne also wouldn't agree to this if he were around.
|
| |
if layne were around, he'd be getting that money that his mother is trying to get
|
| |
"if layne were around, he'd be getting that money that his mother is trying to get"
Not from the new albums (assuming he isn't still in the band). Only royalties from the back catalog.
|
| |
well don't shit where ya eat
what are you talking about
|
| |
Not from the new albums (assuming he isn't still in the band). Only royalties from the back catalog.
i was under the impression that that's what she's suing for
|
| |
Both sides are douches.
|
| |
"i was under the impression that that's what she's suing for"
is she? cause that is much more understandable
|
| |
just bury the money "down in a hole", along with "them bones".
|
| |
Seriously, fuck her.
|
| |
She's already been payed plenty, she doesn't deserve more. She needs to get a job if she's broke. She's probably a junkie anyway and it would make sense why her son become one so fuck her, would make sense why she needs money.
Also, she only filed a lawsuit thus far. AIC ain't sued yet and I hope they don't lose.
|
| |
money hungry bitch
|
| |
fuckin cunt i hope the devil puts dinosaurs in your vagina and the black will give way to blue bruises on your clitoris
|
| |
so is she suing just for the royalties on the records that layne was involved in, or for something beyond that?
edit: I just looked and she's suing the band for royalties owed to her son. I really don't see a problem with that.
|
| |
"She's actin like a real diagonal ass nigga right now"
Dammit! I was about to write "Diagonal ass nigga" but decided to Control + f it first just in case. And there you were.
|

@Dominion
The article is unclear, but it seems she is suing for 16% of ALL revenue earned by the band as part of the revenue sharing agreement that was in place when Layne was alive, so not just the royalties on the back catalog. It seems like she's trying to stake a claim to the AiC name in general and not just the contributions Layne made to it. I could be wrong though. The article is really muddled.
|
| |
i looked at some other articles, and it said she's suing for royalties on the albums on which layne wrote/performed. she's not looking for royalties for anything they've done since he died.
|
| |
But the band says that Layne's heirs (which I think is only her) will continue receiving royalties from Layne's work. So I don't understand what the conflict is about. The operative lines (I think) are:
"McCallum claims she’s owed half of all monies due her son, which amounts to around 16 percent of Alice In Chains’ income. "
"Members Sean Kinney and Jerry Cantrell put forth that the financial arrangement between Staley and the band ended with his death."
"According to documents, Alice in Chains has attempted to settle up with McCallum to the tune of $341,000, and that Staley’s heirs would continue to receive royalties from songs he was directly involved in writing."
All of the articles I've seen are sourced from the original Seattle intelligencer article, so link plz if you've found something better.
|
| |
It's also HIGHLY suspect that she would try to trademark Alice in Chains.
|
| |
this is is the article i found. it was the first one that didn't quote the Seattle post intelliger or link it

Man if my mom did that after I died I would be so pissed off. Bet the guy would not side with her on this- especially since he was probably pretty close to the guys in the band with him.
|
| |
A couple of you remembered to use those Emmure insults. Props.
|
| |
I think, before we go throwing around some youtube-level insults (seriously, are some of you twelve), it's important to establish whether she's staking a claim for the royalties her son had a part in, or also for the newer works. One is understandable, one is not.
|
| |
"Man if my mom did that after I died I would be so pissed off"
hahaha
|
| |
She's just being a total time vampire.
|
| |
Why does she have to be a bitch? You guys are forming some pretty harsh opinions based on two sentences of text. She's actually done a lot since his death for drug addicts in the Seattle area. Legal stuff like this can get really complicated.
|
| |
There's no excuses for this!
|
| |
What a fucking gold digger.
|
| |
I'm sure they've paid her way more than what it's worth and she's just trying to make a profit off her sons death.
|
| |
Haha! Why is she entitled to money that she 0% of anything to earn? Unless Stayley willed money to her in a will, there shouldn't even be a chance of her winning this one!
|
| |
She's trying to milk her son's legacy. That's low.
|
| |
lol.. 3 months later
