Recordando a Layne Staley

Remembering Layne Staley

Debido a que dentro de nada se cumplirán de 10 años de la muerte de Layne Staley, ex cantante de Alice In Chains, David Bronstein está haciendo unas retrospectivas de Layne, recordando algunas curiosiosas del mismo. Son bastante largas, por lo cual lo dejo en inglés… ya lo siento, pero tampoco quiero entretenerme demasiado en traducirlo y dejar de poner noticias

REMEMBERING LAYNE STALEY PART 3: THE SAP SESSIONS

WRITTEN BY DAVID BRONSTEIN & EDITED BY BRETT BUCHANAN

Layne Staley has been here before, but in the tiny voice booth that accommodates the London Bridge Studios, he is filled with frustration. Alice in Chains will be here for an entire week recording their second EP, Sap. Four songs are planned but the record will eventually end up with five.

Staley and the band know this studio well. It’s where Alice’s first demo and debut album Facelift were recorded.  But on a late Friday afternoon Layne is struggling to hit the right notes on one of the most haunting tracks that the group would ever record. The house engineer, and now co-owner of the studio, Jonathan Plum recalls: “The first time I heard Layne sing was on the song Am I Inside.  He was struggling with his pitch; in fact it took a lot of work for him to sing the song correctly.” With Ann Wilson of Heart fame having already laid down her vocals and the music being complete the pressure was on Staley to deliver. “Rick Parasher who was the studio owner and producer on the record kept asking Layne to sing certain parts over and over again, I was struck by how difficult it was for him,” says Plum. Parasher believed he knew where the problem lay. “When the band left, I later asked Rick about it, and he told me that for the screamy style Layne was much more comfortable and accurate with. He just ‘belts it out’. A few days later I heard Layne belting and Rick was right, he nailed that style in a take or two.  By the time the band were recording Dirt he was simply a one take guy, spot on.”

On late Saturday afternoon Layne Staley arrives at the studio a bit tired, but in an upbeat mood. Early in the morning he had helped his father chop wood.  Jerry, Sean and Mike are busy laying down their tracks and rehearsing, so Layne decides to hang out in the lounge.  He grabs breakfast and switches on the television, hoping to catch his favorite cartoons.  “Okay so there’s Layne just hanging out on the couch watching cartoons and eating kids breakfast cereal from the box,” recalls Plum.  ”He flips it over and notices there is an activity on the back of the box. Layne filled out the activity in a very sick way. I remember one of the questions was ‘Where to put something?’  His answer: Urethra. After he cut out the box and put his answers on the fridge.”

Plum says of Staley, “He was by far the most laid back guy in the band. He was very down to Earth with me and kind.  For example one morning he asked me how long I had worked at the studios for, and if I liked my job.  He was one of the very few musicians who took the time to ask about me and share some of his normal life.  By contrast Jerry Cantrell never acknowledged my presence unless he needed something. At the same time I also understood that he was in a very intense creative mode when he was at the studio. He was not unkind, just focused on his work.  Thinking back Jerry was the creative force in the band with a much more intense personality than Layne.”

The Sap sessions were an oddity in the fact that no one really knew if these recording sessions would ultimately bring a release. “Jerry would just keep on throwing down ideas,” says Plum. “The sessions were certainly off the cuff, a lot of fucking around and experimenting going on.”  A few clues that the recordings would see the light of day were some of the chosen guest singers on the EP.  Soungarden’s Chris Cornell and Mudhoney’s Mark Arm (Cantrell’s request) were brought in to sing on Right Turn, which created the shortest lived supergroup in history, ‘Alice Mudgarden’.  The aforementioned Ann Wilson sang backing vocals on Brother and Am I Inside. There was talk of having Kurt Cobain come in, but Nirvana were in Europe and Nevermind had just exploded.

Plum recalls that having the band in the studio for a week could be quite the task, “It was a little nutty, I was the assistant engineer but I was also responsible for cleaning the studio and really anything else that was needed. I was the only employee back then and in those days the studio was not set up well for big major label projects. I remember even running to the store and grabbing Thai takeaway for the band.”

On the second to last day of recording, with music laid on tape and the studio shut off just past 8PM, the members of Alice in Chains decided to throw a party after a 9 hour session. It would not be the last one. “One night it was 3AM and I had to wait until the band wanted to go home.  They had some friends over and threw a party. Though it was very interesting to watch the band party, I didn’t like having to simply hang out and wait. It wasn’t like I was invited to party with the band,” says Plum.

Sap wound up having five songs: Brother, Got Me Wrong, Right Turn, Am I Inside, and the unlisted track Love Song (Sean Kinney’s baby). Sap would be quite a departure from anything Alice had recorded in the past, but the EP was released the following February and went Gold despite a lack of promotion.  Photographer Rocky Schenck took a telling picture for the EP’s back cover. Members of the band urinating on their own pictures, one from the Facelift sessions and the other a promo picture from the previous summer’s Clash of the Titans tour. The band had moved on, and were ready to begin a new chapter.

@TwitterMusic @Veynis la canción que más me ha gustado que se haya grabado nunca es XYU, que grabamos en el Chicago Recording Company en 1995.
@TwitterMusic @Noiseheads los músicos de hoy deberían centrarse en crear su propio mundo: música/estilo/social media e ignorar lo que venga después.
@TwitterMusic @isabella_isza simple respuesta: Internet debería mantenerse libre/la protección de la libertad de expresión es más importante que proteger el comercio.
@TwitterMusic @Lophofo [Mi luchador favorito es] The Nature Boy Ric Flair.Pero tengo que decir @ShawnMichaels está en 2º lugar desde muy cerca. Increíble contador de historias

thatdamnracket puso esto en los foros de onewhiskey.com:


Me metí a Music Millenium justo a las 6 y tenían una "fiesta" en la segunda sala de la tienda (lejos de la parte delantera). Cuando pregunté si es aquí donde se escuchaban las canciones, el empleado dijo sí y me preparé.Estaba allí solo al principio.  Las personas comenzaron a deambular, unas 10 personas solicitaron el álbum y lo recibieron esa noche firmado. Me puse cerca  de la parte delantera y conversé con el empleado sobre el LP. Cuando se iba haciendo de noche, pensé que no habría manera de ganar la prueba, pero como estaba allí ahí y VI que sólo había unas 20 personas en la rifa magnético, pensé que tendría una mejor oportunidad. Algunas personas parecía que sabían muy bien lo que hacían, así que perdí la esperanza de ganar y me fui a otra cosa.
No me defraudó. Sí, son unos temas con arreglos diferentes que como fans no utilizaríamos, pero sigue siendo un disco "Lanegan". La mayor parte del disco tiene lo que esperaba de él. "Deep black vanishing train" suena tan bien... También hay un par de temas bastante buenos.
Tan pronto como terminó, se sacó un nombre en el cuadro y me alegré al escuchar mi nombre

I got to Music Millennium right at 6 and they held the “party” in the 2nd room of the store (away from the busier front). When I asked if this is where its at, the clerk said yea and turned it on. I was the only one there at the beginning. People started wandering in and about 10 people pre-ordered the album and they received the signed 7″ on the spot tonight. I hung out near the front and chatted with the clerk as the LP played. When I was going tonight, I thought no way would I win the test pressing, but as I got there and saw there were only about 20 people filling out the raffle tix, i thought I had a better chance at it. A few people seemed to stuff the raffle box so I gave up hope of winning and just focused on the new record.
It won’t disappoint. Yes, they are a few tracks with different arrangements that as fans we might not be used to, but its still a “Lanegan” album. Most of it has what you would expect from him. Deep black vanishing train sounds so great. There are a couple other burners just like it too.
As soon as it ended, they pulled a name from the box and I was glad to hear my name called.
Will give fuller report later.

En este minuto... esta Mike Inez en la web: aprovechad para preguntarle cosas AHORA! ¿Donde?
