"It was all about music, about getting your friends to come and see you play. I don't see that same intimacy happening very much today"

- Layne Staley

About this Quote

In this quote, Layne Staley is assessing the past and how music utilized to be a more personal and intimate experience. He points out the importance of having your pals come and see you play, which suggests that music was not just about performing, but likewise about getting in touch with others. Staley then contrasts this with today, mentioning that he does not see the exact same level of intimacy in music today. This might be translated as a commentary on the current state of the music industry, where innovation and social networks have actually made it easier for artists to reach a broader audience, but perhaps at the expense of losing that individual connection with their fans. Staley's words function as a pointer of the power and value of live music and the human connection it can produce.
