LAYNE STALEY SONGS IN ‘GRASSROOTS’ FILM REVEALED

By: 17 June 2012 38 Comments

Alethia Austin, the music supervisor for Grassroots, has revealed to me that the two Layne Staley songs used in the film are “Things You Do” and “It’s Coming After.” Definitely false advertising by their PR department in calling the songs previously unheard, as both songs are already out there. It’s Coming After is a Second Coming song featuring Layne Staley on vocals that was released in 1994, and Things You Do features Layne on chorus vocals and leaked on GrungeReport.net a few years ago.

    I heard and read here and there several times that the song ” Things you do ” was fake .

  • Grungy said:

    Even though it is a downer I bet he did record something. That no one has ever heard outside a few people. Will we ever hear it is the ?

  • jjc19461 said:

    Are you kidding me? Sigh…

  • Paul said:

    A bit disappointing but it will still be cool to hear Layne in the movie. Plus the soundtrack might have good quality versions of the songs.

  • YUMM said:

    aw man that shit sucks. Oh well. I knew there was something weird about this. too good to be true.

  • louderthanshit333 said:

    What year was Things you do recorded?

  • Mark said:

    Not Surprised…but that Sucks! Had my Hopes up, but should’ve known better. Oh Well, for those that don’t know any better, it’s “New”.

    Either way, it’s always a Good Thing when this man’s name is mentioned for the gifts that he gave to us all in his “all too short” time amongst us…

    I agree with Mark–the fact that his music is being used is a wonderful thing. This helps keep him relevant and ‘in the news’, so to speak. We, his fans, need to keep his memory alive. Talent like his is rare. He needs to be remembered.

    ITS COMING AFTER SOUNDS GOOD :) THIS SHOULD OF BEEN ON THE AVENGERS SOUNDTRACK :)

    BESIDES SOUNDGARDEN.

  • LayneinChains said:

    I don’t hear Layne in the first one?

  • GenXLady said:

    Ah well…(sigh).

  • MAYAN CALENDAR 2012 said:

    You think this is good music from the late great Layne Staley? He did a good job recording with Tom Morello and Stephen Perkins for the Faculty movie soundtrack : a cover of Pink Floys Another Brick In The Wall

    in 1999 :)

  • Chango said:

    this is SECOND COMING goddamit… can u mezmerise it? im tired of tellin it to u noobs

  • Escape said:

    Good! I’d hate for some really great and interesting stuff to be wasted on a film soundtrack. Any solo recordings should be saved for a proper release or box set or something.

  • louderthanshit333 said:

    lol bon3zz, learn to use proper grammar before you decide to own noobs.

  • David said:

    Irritating. I had my doubts but when the story surfaced but it’s still irritating. You can’t help but feel if Layne had self recorded his own ‘You know you’re right’ we would have heard it by now..

  • brian spear said:

    that is really fucked!!!! I am still waiting to hear of ANY word on this biopic of his life, starring lathan mckay.. called ‘get born again…

  • Iso said:

    Dart yer tongue in and out of the dilated sphincter, allie you cunt, undercover male, asshole engorged like a baboon, eatin’ dick to the whistling tune! Fuck off allie!

  • allie said:

    listen you candyland fruit fuck. get off it! your ONLY contribution is vulgarity and bullying. go back the jerryland aic board. you are obsolete.

  • Iso said:

    You are a true lady allie! No, you are a man, conclusively. Chugging cock again. Tossing salads. No one else here gets any ‘shit’ except you, bullying hath nothing to do with anything. Whistle while you suck! Your opinions teem with stool, a shitty oily froth from that fuckin hole in your face. Plug up yer butt. Irrelevant is you.

  • allie said:

    you should know. you’re just a wolf in hand made boots.
    see you in hell. smiles! shhhhhh…

  • Iso said:

    Allie is a human buttplug.

  • Bianca said:

    God-Am-it! :P

    I had a feeling this news was too good to be true. Personally, I would rather see a well-made documentary with footage from his life rather than a biopic. Though, honestly, I’d love to see anything more about Layne. RIP

  • Alethia Austin said:

    Oh, man!

    Brett – when did I leave you under the impression it was anything different? And, when did I speak to you?

    Smearing my name out there. Shame, shame…
