This is truly amazing. I have to think that this is a glimpse into a very special moment of the band. The vibe of the scene makes me think it a sober time, or maybe just a really happy time. Shannon's talent is on full display and I'm glad the world can witness it.
@MrBoilerup22 I agree with you about this being a special moment. You can clearly feel it. Unfortunetly, this is not a sober time, as Blind Melon rarely had one. Im guessing this is in 94. I encourage everyone to go out and buy "A devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other". Its about Shannon's life and everything about Blind Melon.
@smartian27 Nahhh Im still a Melonhead.... There is no Dead Heads :) They do have a new CD with a guy named Travis on vocals... Definitley different sound, but I totally enjoy it... check it out if you havn't, Might bring the Melon back to yah :)
It's really hard to pick a favourite album of all time... but if people insist I choose one, I always say Blind Melon - Soup. I wish it still took this kind of talent to make it in the music industry.
then ill take a left and i second guess into total mess...i always loved that line. i love all of Shannon's lyrics. another beautiful person taken way too soon.
As a musician this is bittersweet. I will never develop the skill to sing or write in a way that came so naturally to him and it pisses me off. His talent was out of this world and will never be replicated. As a musician this is really bittersweet.

@diowk I've been playing guitar for a little while now and I've written some songs. I know I can't replicate the sound of blind melon but it does influence me a lot. I just know I gotta find my own sound. I wish blind melon was still around. They could have been more known about if they would have lasted longer. One of my favorite bands..

His talent was out of this world and will never be replicated. Think of what he could have become as an artist. Just look at how much radiohead progressed after their first 2 albums. He will be sorely missed. My heart goes to you Nico
this must have been when he just left rehab in summer 95. he looks quite healthy and clear here, compared to the later videos where he was already half dead
Makes me tear up. I love Blind Melon so much. I remember where I was when the news came on and reported his death - eating dinner with my family in Okinawa, Japan. I was excused from the table and went into my room and cried and cried..
I've always been so inspired by this band. I love the down home feel of it. I try to utilize the same sort of feeling in my music but a little more aggressive metal sound to it. I fucking love Blind Melon!
I SEEN SHANNON AND MELON VANCOUVER 93, good times, lotsa beer, and youth...upon shannons demise rip..i met chris and brad richards on richards...remember the bananas chris?
his favorite hat...favorite t-shirt...favorite pant...this is Shannon Hoon how I remember him!! with his smile playing with his hat and a dog in Latimer road August 2005...we miss you soooo much! you are our guardian Angel...or so I like to believe after you visit me into my dream...

Shannon touches my heart every/any time I hear his voice...I can't think of what he "should've" been....am I wrong?
Have said a million times...if he was still alive...I'd be a "Melon Head"......"DeadHead" but, in the melon way.....;)
