Mamela ilizwi lika-Layne Staley elinamandla eyedwa kwingoma ka-Alice In Chains ethi 'Ingaba?'

I-Alice in Chains liqela lomculo we-rock laseMelika elasekwa eSeattle, eWashington, ngo-1987 ngumdlali wegitare kunye nombhali weengoma uJerry Cantrell kunye nomculi wokuqala wezwi uLayne Staley. Ibhendi yaziwa ngesitayile salo selizwi esahlukileyo, esihlala sibandakanya amazwi ahambelanayo kaStaley kunye noCantrell. Iqela lifumene impumelelo yorhwebo ngokukhululwa kwecwecwe labo lesibini, Ukungcola (1992). Icwecwe, eliqinisekiswe iplatinam yesine yi-RIAA, libandakanya iingoma eziculayo 'Ngaba?', 'Amathambo lawo', 'Isitulo esinomsindo', kunye ne'Rooster'. Ihlala icwecwe labo eliphumeleleyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Ukucula yedwa kukaStaley kwingoma ethi 'Ingaba?' ugqalwa njengowona mzekelo ubalaseleyo welizwi lakhe elinamandla lokucula. Isimbo sakhe esikhethekileyo esidityaniswe nendlela awayethetha ngayo ngokweemvakalelo kwamenza waba limvumi enamandla kunye noyena mntu ubalaseleyo kwimbali yomculo werock.

Sintywila kwigumbi elingaphandle leMagazini ukuze sijonge ngasemva kwilizwi likaLayne Staley lakwadwa lengoma ka-Alice Kwimixokelelwane ethi 'Ngaba?'.

Xa ujonga ngasemva kwindawo yegrunge eyavela ngeminyaka yee-1990 kwikona ebonakala ikhethekile eMelika, iingoma ezine ezinkulu zerock zathatha indawo yazo eMount Rockmore. Ngelixa abanye abathathu benokuziqhayisa nge-fandom ebukhali ngakumbi, amazwi ka-Alice kwiChains 'Layne Staley ngokungathandabuzekiyo lelona lintsokothileyo.

U-Kurt Cobain kaNirvana wasebenzisa ilizwi lakhe ukudibanisa nabaphulaphuli bakhe, esebenzisa i-DIY ethos kunye nerejista efikelelekayo ukugqamisa izicubu ezidibeneyo ezenza iingoma. Ku-Eddie Vedder kaPearl Jam, waba ngumntu wasentsomini, kwindawo ethile kufutshane neRobert Plant yanamhlanje. Ewe kunjalo, uChris Cornell kaSoundgarden wayenokulila kamnandi ngathi akukho mntu waziyo — kodwa uStaley wayegqibelele.

UStaley waye, ngokungafaniyo nabantu bexesha lakhe, wayekwazi ukudlulisela zombini ubuthathaka obunzulu kunye namandla aqukayo ngaxeshanye. Ngaphaya kwekhathalogu yangasemva ka-Alice Kwi-Chains, u-Staley ngumdlali weqonga wokudibanisa iimvakalelo kunye nokuvumela ukuba azive ekrwada, enyanisekile kwaye eyinyani.

Kwingoma esecaleni engezantsi unokuva bonke obo bunzima kunye nokuthungwa kwinqaku ngalinye. Ukuva amazwi kaStaley eyedwa kuAlice Kwimixokelelwane ebetha omnye, ‘Ngaba?’ kwanele ukukunika ukugodola phantsi komqolo wakho.

Ngelixa ngoku sinokuthatha ulonwabo lwe-cathartic kumculo u-Staley awushiye ngasemva, kunzima ukungayihoyi into yokuba uninzi lwetalente yakhe yokukhupha imvakalelo yayikukuba wayengumntu owolulekileyo. Le mvumi yazabalaza nokukhotyokiswa ziziyobisi kwaye iya kuba yeyona nto ibalulekileyo ekugqibeleni wathatha ubomi bakhe ngo-2002 njengoko engazange aloyise ukuxhatshazwa.

Kwi-‘Ungathanda?’ ungaliva eli dabi kwilizwi likaStaley. Ingoma, eboniswe kwicwecwe labo lika-1992 Ukungcola , njengoko ijongene nokulahlekelwa ngu-Andrew Wood, umntu obalaseleyo kwindawo engaphantsi komhlaba, owafa ngenxa ye-heroin overdose kwi-1990.

Isiginci kunye nombhali wengoma uJerry Cantrell wathi ngengoma: Ndandicinga kakhulu ngo-Andrew Wood ngelo xesha. Sasihlala sinexesha elimnandi xa sasihleli, njengam noChris Cornell. Akuzange kubekho mzuzu okanye incoko enzulu ngokwenene, kwakumnandi konke. UAndy wayengumntu ohlekisayo, ozele bubomi kwaye kwakubuhlungu ngokwenene ukuphulukana naye. Kodwa ndisoloko ndibathiyile abantu abazigwebayo izigqibo ezenziwa ngabanye. Ngoko ke yayijoliswe kubantu abagwebayo.

Ukujonga emva kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo uCantrell waphinda waphinda wathi le ngoma: Eyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu kuthi sonke-yayiluhlobo lwesithunzi esinzima sezinye izinto ezinokuthi zisichaphazele ngokuthe ngqo kunye nabahlobo bethu-yayikukufa kuka-Andy Wood. Ela culo bendicinga ngaye njengokuba senzayo sonke, kwaye ndizama ukuyibeka phantsi ndize ndimbhalele i-ode encinane.

Ngenxa yokuba wayengekho, kwaye yonke into yayiqala…Yayiyinto entle ukukwazi ukusebenzisa elo culo, kwakubuhlungu kakhulu ndicinga, kuba sasimthwele kunye nathi. Ngoku, siphulaphule, sithwele uLayne.

Ngezantsi mamela ilizwi likaLayne Staley elizimeleyo kwi-Alice In Chains track 'Ngaba?'.
