    Pearl Jam - Bee Girl, about Shan. RIP Shan

  • Blind Melon, Pearl Jam, Collective Soul, and Nirvana baby!!!!!! Yeah I had to add Collective Soul!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • nice

  • Eddie loved Shannon but was afraid for his health. He wrote a short acoustic song for Shan called Bee Girl... reference to the No Rain video... which is on Lost Dogs. It's great that those two loved eachother as much as they did. :D

  • he had no idea what a big hit "no rain" was gonna be

  • lol why is cobain mentioned on every video where grunge is mentioned

  • i wonder if he woulda liked mother love bone

  • What Soundgarden thing was he talking about right before the video cut out?

  • shannon hoon made chris cornell a necklace out of a fork.hes wearing it in the black hole sun video if you look closely and the spoonman video i think

  • @antohall2007,

    Serious? Where did you read that?

  • KICK ASS! I love blind Melon, Nirvana and pearl jam! lol I love how Shannon says shredded! " Pearl Jam SHREDDED" "Did you Hear that? Nirvana shredded."lol I love shannon and miss him a lot even though he died like 13 months before I was born:( he was a sweet, loving genuine guy, They arent too many guys like him, you have many guys trying to look cool and act tough. shannon didnt need to look cool because he was cool already! and I didnt know Shannon liked mother love bone another fave of mine!

  • @kozmicblues14 I don't know how you can equate nirvana with PJ or BM. Kurt was a tool of David Geffen co., while PJ and BM had ultrareal talent. Blind Melon would have filled the void left by Jerry Garcia's death had Shannon lived. Kurt was a pop-punk media whore. Do y our history research.

  • @Vlad333Danziger I wasnt really equateing them I love all of them. I dont think kurt was a media whore he wanted people out of his face! It seemed like it it anyways. I really Love Blind Melon I do think they were more unique than Nirvana. im mean look at their music its like psychedelic rock mixed with Grunge! I mean no hate on any band. I wasnt even around when the were around. I wish I was though.

  • @kozmicblues14 Thanks for reply. What I was saying about Nirvana was that Kurt was scouted up off the streets of Seattle by Geffen co. AFTER SEATTLE BECAME THE SCENE, due to Soundgarden, PJ, Alice in Chains. David Geffen just wanted to cash in on the hype, and he did. Of course Kurt hated the fame. As for Musicianship, Nirvana were average garage band, any actual musician would spot that right away. Shannon Hoon and Blind Melon were truly special, but of course you know that.

  • @Vlad333Danziger your welcome! :)

  • @Vlad333Danziger This one is equally ignorant. And for the record, Nirvana was around before Pearl Jam. Nirvana's Bleach came out in '89. They'd already been around for a couple of years. Do you really believe Kurt didn't enjoy the fame? I can guarantee one thing though; and that's that he would not have liked you. Only decent thing you said was that Hoon and B.M. were special. Too bad you missed that Kurt was, and is still special.

  • @Lmichael11 kurt didn't want to be famous, he wanted people to hear his music not look at him like a celebrity

  • @junkhead412 Ha! He wanted his cake and have it too. Only time he didn't want fame is when the maggots started meddling in his personal life after the vanity fair article on C. Love.

  • @Lmichael11 I mean eat it too.

  • @Vlad333Danziger Kozmic don't say more bull-shit please!Damn!What are u talkin'about?Kurt Cobain a tool of David Geffen?Are u going crazy!If u wanna be honest u must say that rock'n'roll died long time ago and u can not compare Cobain with anyone-else,but not becz he was better than others.Cobain wrote great music and Hoon did too...but I see what u're trying to say.Peace

  • @michaelbrigante fuck cobain...... NIEL YOUNG!!!!!

  • @Vlad333Danziger What a vacuous comment.

  • archive.org/details/ShannonHoo­nPhoneInterview1991-byChipMidn­ight

  • And Pearl Jam loves him.

  • we still love u shannon

  • Shannon Hoon liked Mother Love Bone? Fucking awsome!

  • My old band opened for Blind Melon in 91-92. They blew us away and were complete gentlemen about it!

  • nirvana sucks

    

  • 4 best bands of the 90's

    1.Nirvana

    2.Alice In Chains

    3.Pearl jam

    4.Blind melon.

    HANDS DOWN!

  • @SoldierBingFilms dont forget soundgarden

  • @SoldierBingFilms I agree with you but what abut Faith no More?

  • @SoldierBingFilms

    nirvana is shit

  • Good old Shannon. I have included Blind Melon's superb debut on the 'Bucket list ' on myu music website. Any keen Melonheads should take a look by following the link on my channel.

  • MAn, he sounds like a chick here

  • 1:48 OSU the best beer in the Mid west! hell yeah!! :) RIP SHANNON !!

  • Terry David Mulligan!

  • @geurillaglass you sure about that? I would love to hear a bootleg of the nirvana show the interviewer reviewed from 1995. I would simply die to hear that.

  • so glad i got to experience the 90s music........hopefully that trend comes back.

  • this was recorded in 1995 in toronto ontario canada, for a show called intimate and interactive.

    Shannon was a beautiful person and his spirit and music continue to this day to have a positive affect on peoples lives.

    RIP Shannon Hoon

  • @geurillaglass not recorded in 95. kobain is clearly not dead yet based on how they are speaking about nirvana. also, he is talking about how the only recording of no rain is a 4 track, but it will be on the album. and based off the way they are talking about pearl jam ("have you heard them yet") they have clearly just broken out. has to be 91-92

  • hes so right about that time in music and seattle scene was "shreddin".......and to hear the respect for the talent of other bands and not just for exploytation and cash like today.....RIP shannon cause you were an awesome dude.....nvr saw them live but id give anything to (ie. fingers and poss i toe) them live then now....life changeing band X-)

  • You know if it wasn't for Mother Love Bone, there would be No Prearl Jam. Peple always seem to forget that.

  • I was never a bif Blind melon fan, but it's so sad that Shannon flamed out like he did

  • @trulysarcastic its better to burn out....

  • @frawleydan Then to fade away...

  • Shannons opinion was big very big! His band influenced alot of bands

  • I think this is from the show at the Metro in Chicago but I'm not sure.

    That DVD is so fucking badass. I recommend that everybody go buy it.

  • Can somebody direct me to the new video from Blind Melon? I watched it one night but I can't find it anywhere now. It was with the new singer, and it wasn't an amateur video. IIt was a pro made music video.

  • RIP Shannon, layne, and Kurt

  • What year is this?! This has to be pretty close to the "Toes Across the Floor" video, right?

  • @M310nH3ad I THINK 1993...BUT I DONT KNOW THE EXACT DATE.

  • Tipitinas. Happy Fest 2010

  • Shannon hated AIC?????????

  • no way! theres a famous pic of Layne and Shannon together!

  • OOH SHIT! I Knew that picture but i didn't know that it was Shannon on the picture besides Layne

  • @CashinUpACoffin YES, EDDIE AND SHANNON WERE LAYNE STALEY FANS.AND BY LOOKING AT THE PICTURE WITH SHANNON KISSING LAYNE AND THE VIDEO OF EDDIE KISSING LAYNE(HERE ON YOUTUBE) I THINK THEY WERE GOOD FRIENDS 2

  • @sergiomelon. Where can you find that?

  • This interview happened in October 1991. It was about a year before Blind Melon's first CD came out. They did a short, 5-date, tour with Soundgarden because they shared a booking agent (I think). This is from an interview I did with Shannon. Really, initially the only reason I did it was because I wanted free Soundgarden tickets. But I ended up talking to Shannon for about 45 minutes and became "friends" with him.

  • Shannon was such a great person to talk to.

  • you knew Shannon hoon ? that's awesome

  • He was as polite as fk and gave respect . remember it was was a short .. on the spot phone interview and unfortunatley he was probably fkd up on hammer !!! ... he didn't even know where he was playing ! so yup you would expect him to forget things .. i think , he felt the band were not on the same page as himself.. that prob ly came from his addiction. he refers to Pearl Jam as being a unit several times , thats why he didnt mention other bands. He must have been longing for that as well..

  • Got that right about pearl jam Shannon ... RIP

    Wish they've done something together

  • Alice In Chains!

  • i dunno what that has 2 do with anything that they were talkin about, but i LOVE AIC.. so fuck yea! Alice in Chains!

  • He was talking about the all the bands he liked and i can't believe he didn't even mention Alice In Chains considering they were the best band of that period. Oh well, to each his own. Still love Shannon.

  • tell me about it! AIC man!.. they r comin 2 VA in march im so fuckin hittin' that up!

  • @bigboss25262 EXACTLY ¡¡¡¡¡ HE LOVED PEARL JAM I THINK THIS IS FROM 1993 THERES A PART 2 OF THIS INTERVIEW WERE HE SAYS HE IS GOING TO AN ALICE IN CHAINS CONCERT AND THAT HE IS RELLY EXITED ABOUT IT,HES FAVORITE ALICE IN CHAINS SONG WAS THEM BONES AND HE ADMIRE LAYNE ,THERES A FAMOUS PICTURE OF SHANNON HOON KISSING LAYNE ...

  • TOTALMNT CIERTO!!!! I LOVE SHANNON HOON and BLIND MELON!!!!

  • hahahahahaha!!!!! Pearl Jam sellouts? Pfft! Oh My god I can't belive what I just read. "Even Kurt Cobain aknowledged it" Pearl Jam sellouts? And then to try and back it up cause Kurt said so? The almighty Kurt Cobain has spoken so it must be true. Fuck off. A Metallica fan talking about Pearl Jam selling out. Ok thaks for the tips Load and Reload. Pearl Jam are sellouts. Hahahaha That's one of the dumbest comments I've ever read on youtube

  • ya fuck nirvana =)

  • @GnosticPrince I'm surprised you had time to write this between hanging black folks and raping your sister. You are an awesome multi-tasker. Your kids/nieces and nephews/ cousins will be so proud of you. How do you even see what you are typing with that horse dick in your mouth?

  • @GnosticPrince: LOL you have no idea how wrong you fucking are. You're an uneducated little turd with no idea what he's talking about. I'm glad you dont like Pearl Jam, I dont wanna share anything with you, ya scumbag.

  • @GnosticPrince haha aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaha ahhhahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahaah ahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhaahahahahahaha

  • haha I'm still laughing. Dude Pearl Jam was everything Kurt claimed to be in the 90's. I don't even dislike Nirvana but your comment was so damn stupid hahaha. You win worst coment ever on youtube. Congratulations.

  • i dont know whats more stupid the comment or the people who took the time to comment on the comment? haha dumb ass

  • you sir are are a fucking idiot and what's worse is that you're odviously a metallica fan and YOU'RE talking about pearl jam selling out. REALLY? get a grip. also kurt eventually took back what he said and both he and eddie weren't mad at each other before kurt's death. i'm still loling at a metallica fan calling ANYONE a sellout what a fucking joke.

  • hahahahha yeah it's a joke and you're damn right! can you imagine how many records do metallica sell a year? like more than a million...who's the sell-out?

  • Metalica sucks ! what do you call that vocal Sound ! the Monsters ! Shanon Hoon. What could have been ? Intense Vocalist!

  • rock on everyone talkig about the real matters!!!11Q@Q!

  • get the fuck in there i love him even more x

  • A great artist, Shannon Hoon, loving another great band, Pearl Jam. How fucking great is that? Blind Melon and Pearl Jam, two of the greatest artists, absolutely loved each other. Music had such soul back in the early 90s.

  • @GrungeRock1991 oh yeah you're soooo fucking right!

  • @GrungeRock1991 EXACTLY ¡¡¡¡¡ HE LOVED PEARL JAM I THINK THIS IS FROM 1993 THERES A PART 2 OF THIS INTERVIEW WERE HE SAYS HE IS GOING TO AN ALICE IN CHAINS CONCERT AND THAT HE IS RELLY EXITED ABOUT IT,HES FAVORITE ALICE IN CHAINS SONG WAS THEM BONES AND HE LIKED ALL PEARL JAM SONGS FROM TEN AND ADMIRE EDDIE AND COMPANNY

  • @GrungeRock1991

    great comment!

  • @GrungeRock1991 yeah today's musicians just try to fuck each other over all the time. There is no sense of genuinity in today's artists.

  • @GrungeRock1991

    You said it!!!!!

  • He kind of looks like that dude on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, the guy who drinks and stuff...Ron White! If you disagree, freeze your screen at :47!

  • you are so dead on. wow.

  • Haha, he does look a lot like him.

  • OMG!

    No... man... that's a fucking goddamn INSULT!

    WE ALL DISAGREE!

  • He looks like that dude on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour; the guy who drinks...Ron White! If you disagree, freeze your screen at :47!

  • He died in '95 I think. . .if I remember correctly

  • You're right, and I know there are only thumbs ups on your "He died in '95" comment because of it being correct, but it's still kind of funny that there are thumbs up on a comment about a guy dying lol

  • such truth

  • It looks like the video is actually from the much music Intimate and Interactive that was from 1995. Obviously the interview is from before that.

  • shannon looks like Leonardo dicaprio

    you don't think?

  • lol yeah

  • not even slightly lol

  • this interview must be from 91. its so cool how the guy asks if they will play no rain on tour. i guess this was from before the 1st BM album too, cuz he says no rain will be on there.

  • I wonder how it could be from 91 when no rain was in 93 lol

  • no rain was popular in 93. It was released in 92 lol. he mentions nirvanas "new" album and he talks about wanting to work with butch vig. nirvana used butch vig on nevermind. nevermind was released in 91. he also says that no rain will be on the blind melon cd, which means it wasnt even out yet! therefore, this interview must be from 91 or early 92.

  • Pearl Jam Rocks

    Blind Melon Rocks

  • @realneji4 AMEN¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • this wuz the year he died right? he looks so different with short hair

  • Luv u Shannon, r.i.p :)

  • search this...

    "pj you're gone"

  • and your dad too

  • the bald guitar player looks like scott ian!!

  • what year is this recorded?

  • hey spooky,why did u take the time to look up this video?u must have some interest in great music.or was u really looking for the new kids on the block......oh oh oh oh oh....oh oh oh oh....oh oh oh oh oh ...the right stuff!!!!

  • To spooky:If all you have to do is shit on real musicians,BLOW YOUR INADEQUATE BRAINS OUT,if you dont have the balls im sure you could post your address and somebody will.

  • id like to shoot you in the face...bitch

  • I know man, that dude is a fucking queer.

  • Yeah, his mama should ground him from his computer, she shoulda strangled him at birth!

  • RIP shannon hoon you are truly missed!!

    I never like the word grunge, iTS HARD ROCK!! the media titled it grunge!

  • so true

  • he said unit, hehe

  • pearl jam, shannon hoon........ that would be something great...........love.

  • they were talking about nirvana and blind melon.

  • I feel the same way!!

  • "it's good to know there is still some soul in the world."

  • Heh.. wow .. I've never heard this. I live in Columbus.

  • god this is ooooold.

    if no rain was not even on there self titled im guessing 1984 ish. what do you thing??

  • in 84 shannon would have been 17 and living in indiana. so no... its more around 1991

  • ah thanks

  • probably early 90's. not the 80's

  • Um no.....blind melon started in 1989...so no. Not 84

  • mbdks is right about everything you said.

  • Eddie Vedder is the shit and so's the jerry shot in the beginning Jerry rules Fuck yea Fuck Yea

  • Jerry Garcia is the shit

  • PJ looked and sounded more like a corporate product when they first hit than Nirvana did. It was much easier to take a quick passing listen & look at PJ and mistake them for a corporate creation at the time than Nirvana.

    MTV also tried to fabricate a feud between Nirvana and PJ for a while, which didn't help anything either.

    PJ was just a little too marketable for its own good when it first hit the scene.

  • blind melon, nirvana and pearl jam, rules

  • Alice In Chains also

  • Don't forget Soundgarden.

  • yeah tottaly... and kind of the smashing pumpkins any way

  • word.

  • Everything he says is so true. R.I.P. Shannon.

    And I can't say enough about Pearl Jam.

  • he cut his hair, Delila... just sayin!!!

  • such a shame that shannon isnt making music anymore - amazing person

  • that's because he's dead. He died of an overdose on his tour bus in New orleans.

  • i know hes dead im just saying its a shame hes not making music anymore.

  • hahahahashit, ive just got high of listening to this

  • does anyone know what year this interview was recorded?

  • Calling Pearl Jam a new band? A long fucking time ago.

  • @stef0619 93

  • This is all I needed to hear from Hoon to consider him a fucking God!

  • could you imagine if shannon worked with kurt?

    that would just be perfect.too bad kurt never liked pearl jam.

  • its called jealousy

  • nah,kurt just thought they were a sell out band,they werent,but he just didnt like them,he liked eddie vedder as a person,but just didnt like their music.

  • oh right on. he told you that?

  • I wish I couldve met him,but no,it was off an interview.

  • Actually, your mom blows. And Kurts dead in a coffin.

  • You gotta lick major goat balls to say P.J. blows. Failure!

  • fuck you guys, music is music...fucking listen to it, if it is real, raw, and emotional just listen to it

  • I've always got the impression that those who picked Nirvana over Pearl Jam did so simply because they were told to do so.

  • well thats not true i think. if bands like alice in chains blind melon nirvana and all the bands in the grunge genre got to make over 3 albums im sure that half of them wouldnt of stunk like , man if u really face the facts pearl jam is a great band there like my favorite still living band but dude half there albums werent good. like a side from vs,ten,binural, and yeild. there other 5 albums werent great. like if nirvana we still making albums im sure they wouldnt make 5 bad ones.But pj rocks

  • FUCK DO I MISS SHANNON...

  • watching this made me like really really dizzy for some reason

  • head rush?

  • lol dude i dont know but everytime i watch this i feel like passing out i get sooooo dizzy

  • mann hes so right

    ive been listening to pearl jam soooo much lately

    awesome

  • terry david mulligan

  • great, thanks!

  • DRUGS KILL

  • Why the hell the thumbs down?

    It's true. Look at what happened to Shannon. =/

  • It's thumbs down because of what the drugs did for him before they killed him.

  • Man he didnt mention Alice in Chains...but hey Laynes BFF was Shannon...God RIP theyre chilling somewhere in Heaven rite now!

  • he mentions alice in chains allot of times in the second part of the interview and he even says that his favorite song is -them bones-,im going to upload that part of the interview this week and yeah he was a good friend of layne staley . imagine layne and shannon singing together¡¡¡¡
