Video Description:
One of my favorite Mad Season songs. Long Gone Day by Alice in Chains' singer Layne Staley.
Best Mad Season song - Long Gone Days -played and sung by Aaron Quick.
Long Gone Days Like several other musicians in the Seattle grunge scene, Staley was a heavy user of heroin. His drug habit had started when he was a teenager when he began using marijuana and LSD in 1980. He was introduced to cocaine in 1982 when he was 15 and soon after began to use ecstasy and h
eroin more and more, becoming an addict in 1989. In the 1990s, Staley battled a severe addiction that would eventually lead to his death. This had a profound influence on the lyrical themes of Alice in Chains, with many songs depicting bleak and helpless atmospheres centering around the pains of ad
diction. The album Dirt showcased this preoccupation in songs like "God Smack," "Junkhead" and "Hate to Feel." The other members of Alice in Chains, seeing Staley's deteriorating condition, opted not to tour in support of their 1994 EP Jar of Flies. Following its release, Staley entered a rehabilit
ation clinic and began to work together on a side project with many Seattle musicians, including Mike McCready from Pearl Jam and Barrett Martin from Screaming Trees. The band colaborated on material for many months and finally booked a show at the Crocodile Cafe under the name The Gacy Bunch. With
in a couple weeks, the band changed its name to Mad Season. In January 1995, Mad Season performed two songs on Pearl Jam's Self Pollution Radio broadcast, "I Don't Know Anything" and "Lifeless Dead". The band completed their album, titled Above, which was released in March 1995. The first single, "
River of Deceit", became a success on alternative radio, and "I Don't Know Anything" still gets occasional airplay. A live performance filmed at the Moore Theater in Seattle was released in August 1995. Layne Staley All Alone Artificial Red I'm Above Layne Staley I Don't Know Anything I Don't W

amazing job !
in parts you sound like lanegan himself, especially the opening lyrics... awesome banana
...timing, tempo, guitar, and even vocals. Nice mix b/t Mark and Layne. Great stuff! Great song/band to cover as well. I like how the "more info" really shows your knowledge of the band/layne as well as their songs/performances. Your not just covering to cover, and can see you have true respect of the music; hard to come by on here
But I see others asking for you to tab out the guitar..an if you could, that'd be awesome Thanks Man!
