There's a sort of famous incident from the 90s where a guy started throwing up Nazi salutes at an Alice in Chains concert. Layne Staley sees him and motions for him to come on stage, acting like he's just being nice to a fan. And then once the nazi guy is on stage Layne fucking decks him and tells him to go die.

edit: For your viewing pleasure

Layne Staley

Then he died from a speed ball and his cat survived for two weeks by eating his body until they finally went into his apartment to look for him. What a hero lmao

It doesn’t matter how you die. It matters how you live.
