Believe it or not , John Sinclair written and originally by John Lennon. They did a concert for him on a Friday, by Monday he was released! He was arrested for 2 joints and given ten years, hence ten for two... He was and still is a revolutionary and was leader of the rainbow people party
reminds me so much of rod stewart with his own roughness and the bluesy funky riffs from blind melon are my favorite songs, i like this one just as much as lennons original
hey there you must no that dave p. left the stage after he called john @yoko up there thats ronnie king with the broom as a bass next to yoko as him i had the same shrit as he did that night
your human society has formed this microcosm of insult and honour in your social network of minds....
...shut up. Just enjoy the music. Hoon's dead, so take solace in that, you nay-sayers, And the artist will always provoke the people, no matter what the theme is.
so... whatever lol. I typed more than a person who just said 'shut up' should have typed.
@easymelon2187 Yes it a great cover the did it better than just about anyone else could.was Shannon a Lennon fan? lol I am a Blind Melon fan and a John Lennon/ Beatles fan.
Thanks for posting this! Just wanted to let you know that I used this video recently in my John Lennon blog - link is on my channel if you're interested in seeing it!
earlbrownintown is a fucking dumbass faggot who dont know shit!! he aint worth the paper i wipe my ass with!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHANNON RULES!! YOUR A FUCKING IDIOT!!!
does anyone know if this douche, earlbrownintown, is he a subway tech! lol everyone please delete all his comments, don't even read ,it's not worth it he's a very sad person
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
haha, Im gonna peg you for about 8th or 9th grade by your squeeky voice. Blind Melon, while a halfway decent band were in no way shape or form original or spectacular in any way. shannon was a heroin junkie who was known to be quite violent and EXTREMELY hipocritical. not that my opinion matters anymore than anybody elses, but I love how you think yours does... haha. And yeah, he couldnt have butchered john sinclair any worse.
maybe you need to do a little more research before sitting here and degrading one of the best frontmen of all time. why dont you read 'a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other' or watch some interviews.
really ,you are a prick ! if you don't like you don't have to listen, Shannon Hoon is beautiful & if you don't know now you do,so keep your opinions( like it really matters to anyone )to yourself or better yet just don't come back to this site, you SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
karma did us all a favor when it ripped off that fucking retarded yippie, shannon. you are all so infatuated with the handful of decent songs he made that you are completely blind to the fact that he was a SHITTY human being who made life hell for all those around him.
I guarentee you my friend I am not an old man, just a well informed eclectic youngster who has a true appreciation for really good music and this Lennon rip off is so horribly done, I cannot imagine why any artist would allow this shab out to the public. a fucking disaster. and again, this video seems to be dominated by fucking 7th graders. arent you all supposed to be in school?
Have you heard the rarer live performance of "No Rain"? Its on bootlegs. Shannon sings "All that I can say/Is that the Velvet Underground is great" as the opener. And he was the one chiming in "All Parties Tomorrow" and "After Hours" whenever he could in concert, acapella.
The rest of the band was heavy into Zep and Skynyrd and the Allman's, as shown in their cover of "Out on the Tiles".
