The Blue Moon was kind of notorious, at least when I was a teenager, as the place to go buy drugs. I relapsed and used from april to june of 18. I know its a picture and not a video but just thought Id share in case it could add to Layne and Demris pics. Now whether or not Layne ever knew just how much I liked him, I dont know, but Demri knew. She is too tall.. too lean wrong body type.. cant see her face.. wrong hair.. wrong clothes.. just not her. Please enter your username or email address to reset your password. If I had a quarter for all the times she and I were approached with "I know youyou're Layne's girlfriend", and she would step back and reply "No, I am Demri", I would take all of us to Vegas. Club tells us, the people close to the singer appear to think that a very specific point in time marked the start of his darkness. Jerry is one of the best melody writers ever, and Layne was a virtuoso vocalist and obviously his lyrics resonate with so many people. Its quite ridiculous. Then again, all the dealers would come to his house anyway, because, hey, he was Layne Staley. She was wicked to him but Layne was being a dumb kid and he just wanted to date a model, he said so himself when it was over. Thats all I wanted to say. I tried to tell myself its all in my head and that it would get better but no matter what the drug strips you of your ability to compromise and feelings about how things affect others. At that point people were comparing the drugs as to why it was only him. Media can put entertainers on the highest pedestals and even encourage the descructive behavior, but drop them like hot potatoes or make matters even worse when the downward spiral goes into overdrive. Demri aspired for fame and popularity. But of course I would hate to spread any lies or speculation; if youre a friend or relative that somehow comes across this and would like anything removed please let me know. It needs to be a full on mission or its 100% harder. That night, Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr, who had just been tossed from the band, claimed he actually died and came back as he bounced from shooting up with one famed musician to the other. I believe that although Layne loved her, and Demri loved him, they both had their own agendas for life, which unfortunately didnt mesh in the final turn of life. Although Demri passed anyway, her mother remembers her fondly and without regret or anger. and this: watch?v=LL29f0AehNI I am glad Rosheen knew how much she mattered, because that is what really counts anyway. She will know it sooner or later. Probably every home in America has it, so it would be easy to squire. You know what he was like? It was never about, How are we going to prop him up to get him on a tour? I had this conversation with Layne over and over and over after the success of Facelift: Your health is the most important thing. Him and his girlfriend Demri both lived with me at the time. If they weren't in insert thing, you wouldn't know them. His career fell apart and so was Alice in Chains. If somebody else would have commented it would have showed in my email and somebody didon the 30th thats why I was here. play a tattletale game. I would stay with Layne and Demri sometimes, and I had laid on their floor kicking for a couple of days. And then shortly after that, their whole sound changed cause they got introduced to the scene and Susan Silver. (1969-1996) model, artist, grunge icon, beautiful soul He didnt seem to want to do it because he had a bad feeling about it. Theyd have taken her by the arms, and said, When faced with a simple decision, the butterfly effect comes into play, hurtling Layne into a timeline where events in his life occur as follows: first, Layne moves up the date for his wedding to longtime fiance Demri Lara Parrott; second, Demri reveals that she's pregnant; third, Layne realizes that he has some confusing, conflicting . On April 4, 2002, Starr, high on benzodiazepine, offered to call 911. RIP Layne, Demri, Mike, rosheen, Andrew, Chris, and everyone else who left this life untimely. I can only imagine what the music, art and fashion industries would be like today if they had both survived their addictions. Addiction is no joke, I go to med school so I spend a lot of time in the hospital and its just awful what being addicted to something does to people. We talked about how we KNEW that AiC was going to be the biggest band in the world, and she insisted that I tell Layne that, because he didnt believe it coming from his girlfriend. Staley's girlfriend, Demri Lara Parrott, started shooting smack and Alice in Chains got famous. It speaks volumes about this site that a guy sitting in his living room in Iceland in 2017, can read through it and feel as if he were a fly on the wall in all these parties and gatherings. JOHNNY BACOLAS I found out Layne was on heroin after the Van Halen tour in 91. JOHNNY BACOLAS I recall many nights when I was living with Layne, Demri would come to the house and after Id go to bed, she would just open my door, sit at the edge of my bed with a bag full of potato chips, chew really loud, and just talk. Mike Starr said he was going to be best man at Layne and Demri's wedding. Hes got this Im Jerry Cantrell and youre not sort of attitude. She did not come here to learn any lessons she came to teachshe taught unconditional LOVE and from what I can tell she continues to do so..Do not place any attachment or story to my mothers headstone for Dem that story will come out after my mom is no longer around.. that is another story Thanks for the oppurtinity to set a few things straightI know the misinformation did not come from you sorry if I appeared to be venting perhaps I was a little. im not an angel either, no one is, but alchohol is my stupid drug, whish it wasnt so, makes you fat and sick. Then Demri starts to get sick, and shes in the hospital many times, her heart, her lungs. It has been very therapeutic for me over the years and it has helped to keep Demris memory alive and has introduced her name to so many who never knew who she was which was my original goal. She once called herself an alien waiting for a ride home., Around 97, Layne had moved to the U Dist. Just one of many reasons I want to be cremated so Im not out in a cemetery forgotten about like by some prick like that! I was in a situation to where EVERYTIME I would get high I would be happy to know I would be quitting after this last time only to fall asleep and wake up and be in a totally different mind frame of freaking out with anxiety and trying desperately to get more. Lanegan was struggling to quit heroin and I would swear to this day that hes here because of Layne. I recently watched the Andrew Wood documentary and your words had me in floods of tears. Layne Staley died on April 5, 2002 due to an overdose. I am good today but I did have to leave Seattle and start a whole new life away from everyone I knew. thanks admin|. Although I know that my parents did the best they could, I want more for her and never want her to feel how I have so many time. Not much is known about this unidentified older man aside from the fact that he apparently isolated her from her friends and family and wouldnt let them talk to her. I caught myself thinking about her even when I was in a relationship. On top of this, Staley had lost his ability to ingest food and survived off supplements for the last few years of his life. Such a sad story. The drug grabbed a hold of me and before I knew it I was doing dumb shit to get my hands on it. ), Press J to jump to the feed. I could not have put it better.Recovering addict myself. It floods your brains receptors with nothing but the good feeling chemicals and then when you try to say OK, Im done Ive had enough..Well, too badbecause your body and your brain will fight and lie to you..Just one more time it will sayyoull promise yourself over and over.. until you eventually just give up and cant fight it anymore because you get so violently sick. Finally, best of luck if you write a book Muself, I would love to produce a film documenting all of this. He walks around flipping his hair and trying to hump everything he thinks might have a vagina. Addicts are a triggers for me so 12 step meetings are not good for me but they work for a lot of people at least in the beginning stages they worked for me too. Just let them know youll be there when theyre ready to get clean. Sunday Nov 11 @ 12:22pm "I was at Harborview in the MICU taking care of Demri on the ventilator during the time she died. I need spell check! Remember life is short and so special..love your loved ones today because we might not have a tomorrow. They were very discreet about it. To pay for such risks with ones life is just awful and seems unfair. Im sorry, but I just cant stand the man. Thanks for your honest opinion when you look at it like that its true im thinking of friends from 16yrs ago and even if someone wrote a book on me that facts are so not lined up with who i really am I have changed it though to allow 3 and I have posted the videos for you.. all you have to do is post the link and it will automatically post the embedded video. Your site was the most helpful then, and continues to help those of us wanting to learn more about Layne & Dem. Hey Barb if Dem were alive today, what do you think shed be doing? She had this really cool, big Roman nose. She was then determined to help her then-boyfriend, Layne to get clean but she couldnt. She wasnt making a lot of money back then, but she did manage to get a lot of his. To clarify Demri was in the hospital at least 13 times I know of each time 2-4 months from 93 to 96 which didnt leave much time for her to get in trouble. Also what things happen on the drugs in question that makes dating not realistic. As her mother, when I am missing her most all I have to do is google..I am so happy you made it, I tried to direct Rosheens Mother Tina to your site but she didnt get it so I will continue to try. When they cancelled the 94 tour it was because Layne was afraid. Demri has haunted me on a regular almost daily basis since I first learned about her story. She was a lover of the arts and theater. Start a new life and meet new friends otherwise its always a phone call away and for addicts its just to easy to make that call. Not the fake books that have, or will be coming out about them, by authors who have no real knowledge of them. Hadnt seen that one in a while,its been around forever. This website was also made with the AIC fans in mind and to introduce you to themthe real Demri not just the girlfriend of Layne Staley. Jerry would make these stupid, hazily spiteful remarks like were standing by Layne and I love him anyway. Who wants to be loved anyway? And the thing was that Layne was really bouncing back at this time. But why? Yes, families fight, a lot, but in death should not peace be made between everyone? It didnt matter if I was exhausted. That kind of clientele. You are brave and strong and you do all Demris fans a favor telling us about her and running this site. An indicator of that drop in regard for himself was when, in 1998, he contracted gangrene as a result of his lifestyle. It was for that, not because he was mean or wanted to date, he just wanted them both to get well and even said he wished Rehab had Co-Addictive Behavior Counselling for couples, which I was trying to help with at Wickenburg. He was always fighting someone elses battle when he thought he had his beat. Not sure why I just havent.. never even held one in my hands or seen one on the shelves. I never met Demri but I used to rehearse at Naf and played at the Offramp and RCKNDY , so I met Layne, Mike, Sean and Jerry a few times. For me, layne was Alice in Chains. My daughter was actually a big reason why I fell into darkness because her mom was making my life miserable and it made me feel absolutely worthless and then I would get high bc then I wouldnt think about it. (Just noticed this now.) Then they put out Tripod and yet again Layne would not be able to tour because he was so sick. Sean was an alcoholic and Mike Starr was a drug addict. But Demri seemed to live an existance of from here to there, no where to run, but her mom had a home waiting just for her. We need to find a way to unite and help our sons, daughters, friends, lovers, entertainers. If people only knew how stuck in grief I was for YEARS and today I still miss them all but I dont break down crying anymore. Can't feel sorry for people who have made mistakes because there are people in 3rd world counties who have it worse. I do know someone who read Mike Starr biography thing he did and said he really had tickets on himselfhe couldnt express enough how much women loved him. I know they seem crazy and all, but I have heard peoples stories on YouTube about how veganism, particularly the type that involves mostly raw fruits (unprocessed raw produce is key) changed their lives. Then she moved in with Layne because she had nowhere else to go. Mark and Layne were really cool together. When I was on dope I just didnt care and all that mattered was how I was going to get better or keep from being sick it wasnt even about getting high anymore because it would take $500 to vet high once for a couple of hours. Devido ao abuso de drogas, Parrott lutou com problemas cardacos e passou por vrias cirurgias de corao aberto. I just look forward to hearing from someone. Im grateful to be 19 years clean and sober and also I stopped before my body got thrashed ( although coke alcohol and pot were my drugs of choice, not heroin). But if people who love Demri dont come to talk about her, other people will do, however, not always with good intentions and you know this! Thanx though cool video.. they were all such dorks when it came to interviews. I am thinking more of teens I have been watching grow up from their young years. Jessica I am so sorry for your loss. I have read that Demris mom is an Addiction Counselor. "Layne supplied nearly all the money for their addictions. She seemed to have style that was individual in fashion and photography. You have to completely get away from your environment you used in like the whole city you gotta find all new friends and you need to want it more then anything else!! I do think that Demri deserves more appreciation in her own right, though. And to your Family. http://grungestorytellers.xanaland.com/2013/02/happy-birthday-demri-crew-guy-recalls.html. The book was poorly written. WTF are you talking about? They were always fine with my vegetarian dishes but I wanted to get some nutrients in them and meat on their bones, which is pretty much all I could really do to help. The village to raise a child or extended family member or friend to help re-direct those who are going off track, is not here anymore. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a remote part of the scene, 25 years later! This website is dedicated to Demri Parrott, Layne Staley, Mike Starr and Rosheen Raugi with love and for anyone who ever thinks they wanna try it just once for fun.. So sorry to hear about your Dad too and believe me I understand how easy it is to go back to the only thing we know made us numb again. I didnt wish to get in an argument here I dont think its appropriate but I think it was just a misunderstanding. Anyway, Layne introduced my friends and I to Demri, and Ill never forget my first impression of her she was this angelic looking little thing, with the biggest, most genuine smile She took my hand in both of hers, and told me what a pleasure it was to meet me. Its a very difficult thing to explain. I cant put my finger on it, but it wasnt what I wanted out of a $200 book. Especially if youre their parents, siblings or children. Age has shown me that its probably good that I didnt, as Ive never had any sort of chemical dependancy nor drug habits, and been overall successful in my life. Omg, those TIGHTS! Its such a shame that these 2 talented people were taken from their families and friends at such young ages. Staley was found dead, toothless and weighing only 86 pounds, in his Seattle apartment in 2002. For some reason I always thought it would be better to go out with an OD because then it wouldnt be a surprise and maybe my family wouldnt be as upset as they would with a suicide. Demri HATED being known as Laynes girlfriend.If I had a quarter for all the times she and I were approached with I know youyoure Laynes girlfriend and she would step back and reply No, I am Demri I would take all of us to Vegas. Thank you, I know you may not get the chance to answer this. I think Jerry really was sincere, too, at least back then. She sometimes complained that she knew he was sleeping with other girls, but she also had relationships on the side too. Are they highor notmatters none That's her storylive yours. We never celebrated my birthday so she wanted to be clean so we could which was on the 28th. Look at her smile, too. Anyway sorry I could not be more helpful. He had someone call a psychic for him to make sure that he would be okay. Oh that thing about walking down a hall and druggies is b.s. Regarding kids I think Layne wanted to have a family. Demri Lara Parrott Murphy (February 22nd 1969 - October 29th 1996) was an American model, artist, and muse, and an amateur actress, girlfriend and later fiancee of Alice in Chains singer Layne Staley.Demri was born in Bremerton, Kitsap County, Washington, in the United States of America's Pacific Northwest. She had an amazing confidence which shines through in her modelling pictures and her pieces of writing. A friend once said that "Demri was not a hippy, goth, grunge girl she was her own creation. All the pain and suffering when their lives could have been filled with so much love and happiness. Hi Barbara, I remember right after Layne passed that you sent me a beautiful email about Demri. She was born in Bremerton, Seattle (WA) to Dennis Dougherty and Kathleen Austin, and had three brothers, Devin, Derek and David. Layne knew this and its why her passing just crippled him. I am so sorry for Kathleen (Ds mom) to have lost her children like this. I was iving heroin for 8 years when i suddenly came down with what i thought was the flu. (Jeffrey Mayer/WireImage). She went on a few dates with Layne and fell in love with him. Thanks for visiting the website and sharing the video but that video has been around for awhile and it is not Demri.. Layne turned a corner with two strippers into a hallway crowded with cops. Well, I found two videos with the same interview, but I can not post the comment with the link and I do not know why. . I hope they are in peace and my prayers are with the family and friends. He knew that I liked her, and I think she would sometimes use me Yes, they had other loves, yes, they were not dating at the time of her death, yes, Demri was off on a jag, staying with someone else. Need to search harder for the better ones. Merry Christmas to you. She was loved by many, but always on the run, Layne got her and him a house, but shed stay only a few nights, never moving in. I would love to see them all again, Thank you Niki! On one hand, the two bands got up to some hilarious business pranking each other. She was so young, so beautiful the tragic muse, a fairy. I know this is an old post but why did you put Demris name in quotes? Its so sad that two talented people lost their innocent lives to the demons of drugs. I know Mrs. Austin has lost more than Demri, may God Bless her, and Laynes mom has a grandchild, or grandchildren, by now. Demri was of Irish, Scottish, Welsh, English, and Swiss-German descent. Heroin is a beast of a drug all its own in short or in laymans terms..it ruins your ability to be naturally happy. Im so glad that Demris mother supported her no matter what. Born Demri Lara Parrott on 22nd February, 1969 . . What does that tell you? "Died" takes this Up to Eleven. Its a tribute vid, and at 5:45 (and I mean exactly easy to miss!) I was a reference for him. In short, you loose the will to live and probably have lost your soul wayyy before this point. May your familys hearts be at ease and protected.
