why do people like lennon and hoon have to be spoiled cunts just for being one of the people to voice the opinion of a ton of other people who look around this beautiful planet and point out its flaws. bending over and taking it was never cute.
@nashnwo1234 some people happen to have a better range of people they can reflect on and relate to. people who work 9-5 who also hate the worlds flaws msot of the time they cant get their voice out like lennon or shannon did.

as much as i dig these guys and the band as a whole i just think its ironic that a spoilt yankee precocious kid is singing this fucking number,, i don't think he understood the sentiments he just knew it was a mother fucker of a social statement , Lennon would have fucked him off same as the ugly brothers from Beswick - RIP Shannon you daft cunt
@spadge321 Why would you know if he knew anything about the song? In the end it's by a guy who knew shit second-hand anyway and just talked about it. Lennon lived a more priviliged life than most people ever even dream about.
@Eifler121 john lennon gave a load of his money away. bought an island in ireland and gave it away to name one thing.he was supposedly giving money to the black panthers etc too but i'm not sure bout that. the island story is pretty interestin an funny if you look it up.
@spadge321 I notice you have the Libertines in your videos.The irony.What would've been a real mother fucker of a social statement would've been if John Lennon had sold all his possessions and given the money to charity or to help the poor.But no,he just got richer and richer.A far more spoiled kid than Shannon ever was.
@blacksabbathgnr098 I have read it and I love it....which is beside the point because I was responding to someone who referred to Shannon as a middle class rich kid who didn't mean what he was singing,I was pointing out that John Lennon was quite well off when he was a child too.
@DustyAndPistolPete its small minded to think selling your shit and giving your money to other people is the answer. giving people money can be the worst thing you do for them.
tight how they sound good on an album then they sound even better live...i was brainwashed with rap records until i saw a rapper perform live and realized they SUCK ASS
In September on 1992, a friend of mine from Indiana gave me the early release of there first album and I had just got Perl Jam Ten and Nirvana Nermind, and I have to say Blind Melon first album, for whatever reason, didn't get the hype as the other two, but it was one of the better albums of that year without a doubt! It was not until the following spring until they got any hype, and probably from one not the best song on that album. One of my favorite bands of the Nineties if not My Ulimate

this cover sucks - sorry - but this song is a classic and should be treated as so. Don't get me wrong, I was really into Blind Melon when they were around. He has tried to cover this like Jane's addiction would have covered it.

shuttup you fool
they covered it just like everyone else does, same guitar chords, same words. the only individual style, comes from the singers style. sounds like shannon hoons vocal style to me.
your comment was stupid, you shouldnt comment anymore.
I am just saying that this cover is no where near as good as it shouldve been. BM were a fantastic band and this cover does them no justice. Sometimes one of your favourite bands just don't hit the mark. Some songs are to be left alone, this is one of them.
All a matter of opinion really. you're entitled to yours. Personally i love it. i can't get enough of blind melon and always welcome rare stuff like this. I LOVE BLIND MELON, WARTS AND ALL!
@herbmanrasta I so with you bro, i have SEED TO A TREE, tattoo'd on my left forearm, and evrything, including bootlegs, this devine band, and lost soul ever released, my god is he missed
I was really disappointed when i found out that green day has covered something like this. Im don't mean to upset any greenday fans but this song has just too much inside of it for green day to forward.
this is cool, but the weird thing is at the time..the crowd was their to see the stones and not bm. bm were booed off stage and generally disliked by crowds at the time. i have recordings of them opening for the stones and you can hear the crowd going "these guys suck."
Fuck the Stones. Should have gone out gracefully a long time ago. A bunch of old fart baby boomers obviously aren't going to relate to BM or the grunge/flannel crowd, circa the early 1990's.
Such amazing talent - saw interviews with his friends or anyone who knew Shannon personally & obvious from his lyrics~a highly intelligent, very DEEP man who found glory in using his talent to write down feelings & experiences he had and issues he dealt with as a child-.-Shannon sings it with his heart and spirit in terms of life and all the knowledge he so respectively kept inside. The short time he was alive and was sincerely, genuinely a wonderful soul
this is a month and 8 days after i was born. oh gheeze.
