The point of moving in with Layne was to be a support for him, to help him to - you know, I don’t know what he exactly wanted. He just wanted me around him, and I suppose I probably wanted the same.

When I moved in, he laid out the law. He said, “If there’s any interventions, I’ll never speak to you again.”

Being 25, 26 years old and not knowing better, I listened. It was pretty dark. It’s difficult living with someone that you absolutely love and you’re essentially watching them kill themselves.

But there were also a lot of good times living with Layne. Like when his family or my family would come over and and all of us would be hanging out. He and I had a lot of great times just watching movies or jamming on guitars.

We’d go grocery shopping at 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning so people wouldn’t bug him.

Layne took me to Eddie Vedder’s house in 1995 when Eddie broadcasted a radio show called Self-Pollution Radio from his basement. I met Eddie that night and Layne introduced me to Chris Cornell. And I watched Layne perform with Mad Season. - Johnny Bacolas
