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. |

There is something about Zakk Wylde's voice that has that Layne Staley feel. |
| 5 |  | My Sister's Machine

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. |
