Christopher Dudley, Underoath:"Layne was one-half of the best vocal duo of all time. He will never have an equal…and not just in his voice." He goes on to say Layne could convey an ache in his music.
Dez Farfara, Devildriver:"There will never be another Layne, ever."
Peter Loeffler, Chevelle: He watched Layne perform at the Riviera Theatre in the early 90s. "Layne Staley’s vocal presence was a commanding force for me as I was striving to carve out my own style vocally and musically."
