god damn this cat was one of a kind Ive watched a fuckload of vocal covers since the beginnings of YouTube..and well....there's not a single fucker with the voice of Shannon in viral media.
Goes to show what drug addiction can do to a person. I'm sure Shannon had his own ideas of "change" while performing this song but, unfortunately, ended up in the same place Kurt did.
Saw them in the beginiing playing at the Mean Fiddler Harlesden London in the 90,s .Their sound was so real anyone there new they were listening to somrthing new and special.Shame he did not make it like The Sparklehorse front man who followed him
@trenken honestly if you said something like that in front of me it would be hard for me to contain myself from striking you. Who are you to Judge? You must think awfully highly of yourself but i would imagine you are a very disliked person probably even hated.
@trenken Good, talented, loving people sometimes make mistakes and get caught up in the wrong stuff. To call someone like Shannon Hoon, who shared so much beauty with us a junkie is laughable. Even at that, inside every "junkie" is a person who can and may just come through it all, and be the next one to share....
Same goes for you and your bad attitude then. A comment like that only comes from an unhappy confused person. I don't think you're to blame though. You 're just looking for a reaction from people. I hope you find more constructive ways to alleviate your loneliness, cos this one doesn't work.
amazing song and video, i hate when people think that the only song they wrote or made was "the song of the bee" there´s a lot more. And your right he is alive!
Me and my friend learned how to play this on guitar, and then he died tragically... nothing feels better than to play this song and relate it to friends/music and just passed memories :')
and oh yeah u forget somebody like four somebodies hendrix morrison lennon bob marley and hoon is definitely the most missed where im from oh yeah and cobain doesnt count he s the only one to take his life on purpose this put shannon into a bad depression and drug binge so cobain aided in the death of shannon hoon and thats just wrong to know he possibily had a part in his death
Shannon was so talented. So inspiring as a musician, and also as a person. Easily one of the biggest losses in music. Too much talent that was lost too fast.
Someone asked why Shannon has the question mark on his head? Well it's because this was the day Kurt Cobain was found dead in Seattle. The question mark is basically asking just that..Why Kurt?
amazing song and video, i hate when people think that the only song they wrote or made was "the song of the bee" there´s a lot more. And your right he is alive!
This is why Blind Melon are my favourite band. I know alot of people say that Nirvana was one of the best bands around And i know Hoon Respected them but tbh most of there songs sound the samebut with Blind Melon Almost all of there songs are different and that is one of the reasons that there my favourite band. BUT if everyone liked them I dont think I would because They would be to commercial
I respect your opinion my friend but back log into Nirvana's back library and u will see a huge change in their sound over the years. Oh ya.. If Blind Melon is your favourite band then why would u give a shit if everyone else liked them. That wouldn't make them commercial which blind melon never was..How old are u anyway ? around 12?
Agreed. Too many people dislike bands that they would normally like just because they are popular and I dont understand that. I do understand however, not liking a band because they sell out and change their music and style to make money and become popular
god rest the troopers. The real deals go way to young... Jim Morrison Hendrix Joplin Cobain Lennon Lane Staley Bonham Sid and Nancy Mr John Cash The list goes on... RIP you top notch musical sloiders... God says "ROCK ON, AND SO IT SHALL BE ROCKED"
any other walk of life he would have rightfully been seen as a total scumbag. He most likely was a murderer, but as he played in a 'band' he was aloud to get away with being a dick. he had nothing going for him as a musician. i dont buy anyone saying he was responsible for the sex pistols. he was just a waster in the right place at the right time.
the fact that he was a criminal is what helped make sex pistols punk rock. I'm sick of all these privilaged rich kids with tight pants calling themselves punk rock when not one of them has the balls to do anything illeagal and not one of them knows what it means to be down.
What a shame, both Shannon and Kurt left this earth way too soon. Both were very talented artists who turned to drugs to numb the pain. We miss you both. R.I.P.
Wow... I loved this song to start with. That was a different take on it that I never expected. Shannon Hoon was just awesome. It's a great loss. What else can I say?
i dont understand why the classic bands return if the icons or the leader left thsi land someone imagine nirvana witout kurt , alice in chains whitout layne or blind melon whit other singer THE ROCK IS DEAD MAN , LONG LIFE TO ROCK N ROLL GOD BLESSED SHANOON !
'everyday you remind me im desperately in need'frm the song mouthful of cavities,the most beautiful blindmelon lyrics ever truly touches any addicted soul,as good as stayley frm AIC when he sings'you cant understand the users mind try with your books and degrees,its us junkies who really appreciates their struggles n music...
sorry about that everyone I should not have used the F word on him I am not homophobic at all it just made me mad when that person insulted me and shannon at the same time when it was clear he was just disillusioned, see you on saturday maybe.. :o)
Dude, you have every right to say what you did, the guy was completely and utterly out of line, if you can't respect people during their life or after, there's no point for anyone to respect that person.
I was just saying he or she was saying 'your god' as if he or she knew my religious views or if I even believed in relgion I mean I said what I said if there was a god.. no one is ever sure, but what was getting to me is that they said it like whatever my god, that god was not the right god or something. Who cares anyway this video is one of the best on youtube! (In my opinion)
If you didn't repect someone alive there is no way in hell you should respect them in death. I didn;t see what the dude said, but it is something that bugs me- that people think that death could change the deceased. Ya know what I mean?
That said: Blind Melon is like my fav and I really dig Shannon Hoon and all of that... Just thought I would point that out.
Yep, death doesn't mean that you respect a person that you didn't in life, simply because they're dead.
AftermarketX is just a silly punk who runs around telling everyone he's "Way smarter than j00! kekekeke I haf higher IQ.", and using immature insults like "faggot".
This guy even msged me challenging me to a Nirvana knowledge battle, lol. wtf.
If you have to tell people you're smarter than then before you even start your point, it's a surefire indicator that you are in fact, not. :)
I've been writing a book on addiction for the past 4 years and this one pretty much sums it up: "Ah When You Feel Life Ain't Worth Livin'...Oh You Know You Gotta Step Back And Take A Look Around...And Ya Look Up, Way Up To The Sky. And When Your Deepest Thoughts Are Broken, Ya Know Ya Keep On Dreamin' Boy, 'Cause When You Stop Dreamin' Ya Know It's Time To Die." -- Blind Melon: Change
that shows how close that community of 90s seattle bands were, i cant imagine how bad the chain of events was for them, first andrew wood, then kurt cobain, then shannon hoon, then when you think things are finally good again Layne dies. greatest era of music.. and tied with late 60s' to early 70s' for the most tragic. rest in peace.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Christ, I hate ridiculous drivel like that, AftermarketX. It's so obvious you're a clueless 14 year old kid it's pathetic. Also, there is no god.
They died because they were junkies. They died because they had to have the fucking needle. Once you get to the point where all you think about it junk, there isn't much creativity left anyway.
Look at Kurt Cobain, he looked fucking miserable for the last few months of his life after he had supposedly cleaned up but was using more than ever.
+1^^ I loved Kurt Cobain's music, and I loved Shannon Hoon's music. Layne Staley was also amazing. But the harsh reality of it all is that they were a bunch of junkies. Your "God" didn't take them. Their own lifestyle choices did.
hey faggot I'm 22 and I have a higher iq than you I bet so if you want to try me lets go. muhahah I love it when people like you do this and run with you tale between your legs hidding you little balls in the end!!
ps SirGuttz I am sure you have never done anything worth telling about in your life so before you lable me as 14... try to understand what the fuck you are talking about. also if I just happend not to be born in 1986 I don't think a need a loser like you telling me how to live. Thanks alot!
Yeah, I think people forget that dude. I don't really think anyone starts out to be a junkie anyway. You can be mad and not understand how they let it take over their life, but
God wanted someone to rock for him so he took Kurt Coabin, God wanted someone to sing for him so he took Shannon Hoon, God wanted someone to moan for him so he took Layne Stayle, God wanted someone to play guitar for him so he took Jimi Hendrix & God wanted someone to act crazy for him so he took Jim Morrison.
yeah its unbelievable how bad he looks in the last 6 months of his life..crack and heroin addictions....they lead to nowhere but the an early grave...very sad...he was one of my favorites..his voice is amazing.
Sooo much meaning in this song...Take into consideration, this preformance was dedicated to Kurt Cobain after he took the deadly concoction of Cocaine, diazapan, and vallium."I guess he had to change"
Yes the new singer is named Travis, and he did a great job in St. Louis last week. He sounded like Shannon sometimes and Perry Farrell also. I recommend seeing them live they play all of the old stuff it was great ! I was blown away, and after the show the drummer Glen sat at the bar and talked to the fans.
I saw that when it aired..is that how you spell aired ? Then just one year later Shannon is gone. Man they were a great band ! I saw them last week with Travis and he did a great job.
I hope both of them are landed now in a better place!

Christ, I hate ridiculous drivel like that, AftermarketX. It's so obvious you're a clueless 14 year old kid it's pathetic. Also, there is no god.
They died because they were junkies. They died because they had to have the fucking needle. Once you get to the point where all you think about it junk, there isn't much creativity left anyway.
Look at Kurt Cobain, he looked fucking miserable for the last few months of his life after he had supposedly cleaned up but was using more than ever.

+1^^ I loved Kurt Cobain's music, and I loved Shannon Hoon's music. Layne Staley was also amazing. But the harsh reality of it all is that they were a bunch of junkies. Your "God" didn't take them. Their own lifestyle choices did.

A sure sign of ignorance is people having to state to you "I'm smarter than you, I have a higher IQ than you, blablabla".
If this was true, you wouldn't need to state it, the fact would be made apparent by the quality of your post/point, dipshit.

So what if they were junkies?
I have loved junkies... ones who were amazing and creative like the aforementioned people.
Because they were junkies, it doesn't take any of that away.

Yeah, I think people forget that dude. I don't really think anyone starts out to be a junkie anyway. You can be mad and not understand how they let it take over their life, but

Yeh, you really have to be in their shoes,mindset, and experiences their life to understand that person.
Their will always be 'haters' to everything though.

God wanted someone to rock for him so he took Kurt Coabin, God wanted someone to sing for him so he took Shannon Hoon, God wanted someone to moan for him so he took Layne Stayle, God wanted someone to play guitar for him so he took Jimi Hendrix & God wanted someone to act crazy for him so he took Jim Morrison.

Sooo much meaning in this song...Take into consideration, this preformance was dedicated to Kurt Cobain after he took the deadly concoction of Cocaine, diazapan, and vallium."I guess he had to change"

Travis?, Do you mean the new lead vocal for Blind Melon?..Well how is he?, Does he even compare to Shannon?
KnowUrEnemy88 3 years ago
Yes the new singer is named Travis, and he did a great job in St. Louis last week. He sounded like Shannon sometimes and Perry Farrell also. I recommend seeing them live they play all of the old stuff it was great ! I was blown away, and after the show the drummer Glen sat at the bar and talked to the fans.
