I'm not really sure what Paul is going on as he offers no evidence as to why he believes this is not real. I however believe that this is definitely real. Every signature is consistent with early AIC autographs and even Mike Starr's handwriting ("Alice In Chains") is accurate when compared to other samples. The only thing bugging me a bit would be that Layne's signature is obviously done in another pen. However it's accurate for the time period and I have seen other examples of his (I own a couple) where he uses that style of "Y". The shape of the "L", the "N" into the "E" and the "E" long run off are all typical for him. Both Sean and Jerry's signatures are spot on
