Expressing Their Inner Layne Staley
Layne's Staley's voice, bridging the late 1980's with early 1990's grunge vocal stylings, is a difficult voice to replicate. However, the following bands/vocalists have "pulled out their inner Layne Staley" quite effectively. |
1 | | Jerry Cantrell Degradation Trip Volumes 1 & 2
Surprise, Surprise. Jerry Cantrell sound like Layne Staley? Certainly, and his solo albums are the closet one can come to AIC without being AIC. |
2 | | Godsmack The Other Side
Early Godsmack was incredibly AIC influenced. This EP reminds me of Jar of Flies and Sap, is one of my favorite Godsmack releases. |
3 | | Dust For Life Dust For Life
The dual vocalist harmonies with this band get really close to the Layne Staley/Jerry Cantrell combo. |
4 | | Black Label Society Hangover Music Vol.6
There is something about Zakk Wylde's voice that has that Layne Staley feel. |
5 | | My Sister's Machine Diva
There are so many similarities between early AIC and this grunge band. |
6 | | Drain STH Horror Wrestling
These lovely ladies harmonize and sing throughout in their inner Layne Staley. |
7 | | Kill Devil Hill Kill Devil Hill
Vocalist Dewey Bragg certainly has a Layne Staley tinge to his voice. |
8 | | U.P.O. No Pleasantries
Some nice Layne Staley esque vocals |
9 | | Dropbox Dropbox
Starting from the second song (See I Feel Fine), the Layne Staley influence really shows |
10 | | Drowning Pool Full Circle
Ryan McCombs pulls out his inner Layne Staley on songs like Reborn and Paralyzed |
11 | | Staind 14 Shades of Grey
Check out the tribute song "Layne" |
12 | | Neurotica Neurotica
Something in either the vocals or the stylings resemble AIC. Check out vocals in the song "All My Friends Crush You". |
