ya know people are so sad he died i am too but he lived life by his own rules and lived free and didn't give a fuck what any1 thought in a twisted way i respect that
I forgot how much I LOVED Blind Melon.... I'm spending the next few days on a strict diet of Blind Melon and Shannon Hoon..and maybe a couple of j's ;)
@AntiFaithNY You said it. They were amazing. I had seen them 5 times, the last being the week before Shannon died. Effing great every time. WAY under rated.
@jdog6 This song is on the soundtrack for The Cowboy Way and the Change single (often referred to the Country Jellyfish version) . Made the soundtrack but not the movie. To my knowledge these are the only official recordings.
Covers are rarely better than the original song, but in this case the cover stands so far above the original it is a joke to compare them. Dig the Velvet Underground so don't get me wrong. It's just no contest.
Look how happy he is. This is real music. So many musicians today look like they're doing a job playing the same notes doing the same moves etc. Blind Melon acted like they were a couple of guys just hanging out and playing some music for their friends.
Velvet Underground is one of my favorite bands as well. Shannon does it justice, well frankly Shannon does things justice no matter what It is. True talent.. :) & Look at that goddamn smile! Makes your heart melt, huh? Mine too ;)
@allwillsuffer I love Velvet Underground as much as I love Blind Melon. I always think the originator deserves all the credit in the world, but what Shannon did with the line "if I could walk away from meeeeeeeeeeeee-hehehe" adds his own stamp onto the song. This guy was a musical genius, and I personally enjoy this version of Candy Says more than the original.
I'm "allwillsuffer" just a new account. :) I love them both too. So did Shannon. One of his fav bands. Everytime I hear him see.. "meeeeeee hehee" I laugh. :) I enjoy this version alot more as well. Who can do a better cover than Blind Melon? No one, thats who!
I hate to bang on a guy that isnt even part of this video but does anyone else get weirded out by the anthony guy that sings this also? he has like 10 dif videos out including one with lue reed...he is awful and but i never say this on his vids cuz it seems like he must be slow or had cancer cuz everyones always nice to him.
I've loved this version for years and years. If it wasn't for this I'd never have checked out Velvet Underground.....to actually see the video of them recording the version I know so well, however, is just amazing. Thanks so much for putting this online!!!
Sounds like a different song...
