  • puta q mostro!! great song, great musicians.

  • Rogers stevens lookin pretty bad ass

  • WOW! 5 STARS!!!

  • one of the best bands ever that unfortunately wont be remembered by most.. and people, please don't even mention alanis morisete in the same sentence. as shannon hoon.

  • Who are the 14 Cretinous, degenerate, sister-fucking pigfaces who gave this a thumbs down?

  • @DroverChicago Your brothers probably. :P

  • Shannon Hoon = Male Alanis Morissete.

  • @Sreybk no you've got it backwords, Alanis Morissete = Female Shannon Hoon. and if you don't mind me asking, why do you think this?

  • life aint so shitty

  • So good.. They were so stoked with that recording. It was a perfect take. RIP Shannon

  • What is this off of and where can I get it?!

  • dude blind melon is the coolest hippie band ever.. wish we could see them today at fest like bonnaroo, or waka.. damn drugs..

  • @bassdeadhead That would be sick!!!!

  • Tomorrow we'll complete 16 years missing you, Shannon. Thanks for being part of my life. Your voice, your songs, your words will live forever.

  • I want more music like them! the instruments always hold the melody but not predictable like boring pop...the two guitars (at least) and the bass doing their own thing yet totally complementing each other...the songs had such good vibes without being mad heady... heartfelt lyrics and voice (even if they weren't the best), , altrock feel w/o the expected song structure so it doesnt get stale

    listen to: change, time, i wonder, toes, st andrews, no rain, galaxy, cavities, 2x4

  • I have probably watched this video over thousand times and I'm not kidding.

  • Happy Birthday Shannon

  • I've been a huge fan of Blind Melon for a very long time. Their music is amazing!!! I can have the worst day in the world, and if I put on some Melon, everything that was wrong or bad just goes away!!! It breaks my heart that Shannon was taken from this world!!!

  • This, Change, and Dumptruck are the best 3 songs in the history of ever

  • Paperscratcher is the name of my blog (because of this song) :D

  • I listen to this song almost everyday at work because I like how they look playing together in this video.

  • Love Blind Melon!! Sleep peacefully beautiful angel Shannon! I will C U N Heaven someday!

  • Ar fucken Love Blarnd Melon meeee. Fucken Great cunts!

  • Thank god my soul will be released.

  • vigil sept 24 2011

  • live version on the way Shannon wrote this song....luv it

  • can't say i like it. I LOVE this song.

  • quienes pusieron no me gusta no saben nada

  • wow shannon would really love all the fighting.....

  • shannon's only gone if we stop listening

  • 14 people don't have souls

  • @Fournier355 14 people are gingers*

  • @dabirdmonkey ha ha only some not all but in wales everyone likes to think they can ha ha

  • Effortless some people were born to sing some ain't .... this boy was ... Which means he must have had some Welsh blood in him

  • @majlraep10 wait... Only the Welsh can sing?

  • grrreat song ^^  really

  • Damn, he was just so beautiful.

  • miss u bro...

  • Now that's what I call music XXIIMMMMMM

  • such a true song :)

    

  • This song makes me want to live.

  • who could dislike this, its better then anything that has come out over the last 11 years .. like come

  • I could listen to every album, start to finish, on repeat...over and over and over again for the rest of my days. Believe that!!!

  • To woody0900,

    Well said!

  • I'm just discovering this band. Damn, they are so incredibly tight!!!

  • @ZeY00T00b I envy you. Wish I could erase my mind and discover them all over again. Its best when its fresh yah know. Be sure to check out shannons solo acoustic stuff. So emotional. Amazing band all are really talented musicians with their own style.

  • @ZeY00T00b Good discovery my friend. they are the best of all time

    

  • @ZeY00T00b Yea they are, they have some really good stuff out there! Check out Mother Love Bone if you like this singer. Both had similiar voices, looked the same and died from Heroin. You might recognize a couple of the members from Pearl Jam.

  • I dont think it can ever be said that a certain drug makes you more creative I think its more the broken personality of the user that happen to use there personal drug or drugs of choice.....

  • Comment removed

  • Something about this song makes me weep every time I hear it. And to watch the vid..and see that beautiful smile on Shannon's face at the end is amazing. It gives me a feeling that everything is gonna be okay. Thank you so much!!

  • Hes beautiful in every way...if i make it out of this alive im gona find me a hippie to love xoxo jess

  • bad directing

  • i hate those Vh1 , 1 hit wonder shows. I guess NO RAIN was their only HUGE HIT.. but songs like this, soup, change, mouthful of cavities are all amazing songs

  • @staind420 Yeah fuck Vh1.. and Mtv too. Blind melon is so amazing. Soup for the soul.

  • @staind420 All Blind Melon songs are amazing!

  • stupid drug consumers.

  • @m7730la some weed just makes the party greater,and life is about having fun! but heroin and that shit fucks u up!

  • a big time

  • One of the greatest acoustic performances of all time

  • It's sad that he died from drug use, but Blind Melon without drugs would be like Cheech and Chong without pot.

  • @rpetersdrummerboy Disagree...I'm a user, and not pround of it. It doesn't make everybody more creative, it just helps let the imagination blossom, but ends up killing it in the end.

  • Who ever dislikes blind melon is fucking stupid period...................

  • @andrew111g yep

  • @andrew111g rofl only 31 people have a brain. thats sad.

  • @andrew111g and is a gaga fan,bieber and all that shit.....

  • @andrew111g werd em up-you be right bra

  • @andrew111g wurd

  • egocentricoo jajjaajaj

  • dude this band i miss so much. in my youth i don't even think i appreciated it like i do now. so much talent. it really hits me.

  • what an amazing vocalist he was...right up there with ozzy, freddy mercury, rob halford and axl rose..

  • RIP Shannon... Miss Blind Melon a ton!!

  • Beautiful boy.

  • What a waste....

  • wow, thank you for sharing this.

  • "I've see all your eyes and I've seen all your faces. Can you me honestly that you want to be free? Then look in my eyes I've been lots of places. Can you tell me honestly you'd wanna be meeeee?...... " damn good lyrics

  • HAIL WEED!

  • One of the best songs ever made!

  • I MISS SHANNON.........

  • is there any group like they??? fuckin' amazing !

    12 persons shouldn't hear at all!.

  • Shannon should of kept his sexy long hair, it suited him so very well!

    He was absolutely fucking gorgeous. :)

    No one could ever amount to his talent or his adorableness. <3

  • Whyyyy you kill yourself !!!!!!!

  • @Lithoxis He OD'd

  • These guys remind me of Zeppelin

  • Does anyone notice how 60s this song sounds? I don't even know how he captured that... well, besides the ending maybe...

  • they all die because of drugs...drugs bad..drugs suck..like nofx said drugs are bad

  • @sihatsejahtera82 the epiphany is that in most cases drugs help to expand their minds and take their music to those higher plains, and in the same breathe in most cases it takes their lives in the end. a hard fact to have to face but its fact none the less.

  • they all day because of drugs...drugs bad..drugs suck..like nofx said drugs are bad

  • @sihatsejahtera82 -- how do you plan on living forever?? i wouldn't call him "dead" i see him right before my eye's & every time i listen through my stereo....drugs?sure...dead,i think not..... with the exception of this reply,you are the dead one my friend...love & kisses,smitty bear!!!!!!!!

    p.s. & maybe if you were a little stoned, you would have notice the word "day" & not wasted our time.................. TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • its really sad of what could of been. I feel if shannon hadn't died blind melon would be one of the biggest bands today. they had a rough start but had great tunes. the only band since pink floydd that made poetry out of music.

  • Dear Shannon,

    We miss you. Come back soon.

    Love,

    Blind Melon Fans

  • @woody0900

    Shannon Hoon is dead and without him there will never be blind melon, or at least not as we all love and remember.

  • Keith Richards said that it wasnt the "drug" that kills, but the inability to get a clean, regulated dose. So, shouldnt we leagalize it, so it is controlled, so people dont get dirty, "hot shots". Dont people die because they dont know the strength and the purity?? I'm wondering, if we should legalize drugs. Wouldnt it save lives?

  • Does anyone else think that a side-tragedy of shannon's death is that melon's two guitarists were left without a band to play in? I think they're both incrediby good and together created a very unique sound that I haven't heard in any of their stuff since the original melon days

  • @elms91 i havent heard anything other than the blind melon stuff i dont think but it sucks how it happens like that; a guy dies then the rest of them cant seem to find the groove again. or maybe its beautiful. or i guess its both. this is a really cool live version tho. i love how they realize its the right take so early and then its like one-upping each other in the challenging, great kind of way

  • It's like Shannon isn't even trying!

  • cant even watch a damn blind melon video without people arguing

  • I was a drug addict for a long time and an overdose can happen at any time. My mom saved me from dying on the toilet twice. Sometimes you get a load on and go to bed and just never wake up.

  • 12 Deaf Melons

  • i didnt know jesus christ was a drummer.hahaha.sad shannon hoon died the year i was born.i was born in august,and he died on september.

  • R.I.P sweet boy . You are loved and sadly missed .........

  • .........Fridays are always fresh days........... What a true thing that is.

    Fridays are now dedicated to Shannon Hoon.

  • See how hoon looks over at the bass player, brad, a couple times. Right around the chorus of the song 0:48, 1:45. Coincidence?

  • @frostbitten22 coincidence of what?

  • @didrock17 .... how he looks over at the same part in the song. LIke i said the first time

  • this is one of my favorite blind melon videos on youtube to watch, well i love them all but i enjoy hearing him sing a lot in this one .

    RIP Shannon,to have never known you i know you through words and i couldn't love a singer more then i love you..

  • Just read that Shannon was buried in Dayton, IN. I lived in West Lafayette until last year and used to drive past where he's buried everyday. I'll have to make a stop at his grave the next time I'm up to visit family. I still remember hearing all of these songs on the radio for the first time. Those were great times. It sure was awesome being a teenager in the 90's.

  • Why couldn't they show the guitar part in the last part of the song?? They show everyone else EXCEPT him.

  • @pizzacrime they usually focus on shannon because he was such a beautiful person :P the rest of the bdand deserve recognition, they helped shannon become who he was

  • @Lukith66 Amen to that Brother (or Sister), so many people are hating on Blind Melon right now for trying to make good music with another singer. They trash him AND the band for this decision, never realizing that the rest of the band had as much to do with the quality of their songs as Shannon did. ALL that incredible guitar work and sound, all that smooth and snappy drumming - and all alot of people can think of is how they "shouldn't be making music". It would be a travesty NOT to in my eyes

  • @pizzacrime yeah man! (and yes, it's Brother!) :D  i dont listen to Travis with the band, i don't enjoy it like I enjoy the old stuff, but i still hope the best for them, they deserve to carry on playing music, they'rer amazing

  • FUCK COCAINE

  • @000thisone000 and LSD and Heroin.

  • @Ghandil why lsd?

  • i completely agree. this band was awesome to me. he shoulda layed off the heron.. miss the dude

  • @000thisone000 i love COCAINE

  • @ITZwhiiteboyy yea but the real problem is cocaine don't love you.

  • @gyselboy yea not when you do to much of it like this guy did

  • @000thisone000 What's wrong with cocaine? I don't personally sniff but i can't stand statements like that..

    I know people that have been stabbed.However never in my life i remember myself hating a knife..i actually use one every single day to cut my food. It's all about the users..not the objects.

  • @NukeGenious I would agree with you if you could explain to me how to "cut food" with cocaine. You ask, "What's wrong with cocaine?" I ask, "What's right with it?" It keeps killing our singers and artists and I haven't seen it truly making any of them anything but more depressed than they were when they started on it. Don't get me wrong. I don't blame people for feeling so depressed, lonely or just plain bored to start using. But I just can't see a long term upside to it.

  • @stevelhogan There is nothing wrong nor right with cocaine.Morals such as "right" and "wrong" don't apply on unconcious material objects if they apply at all.There is a practical use of cocaine leafs actually from which cocaine is produced.If you do research you'll find it.Briefly it used to keep workers active in high altitudes and cold climates.What i'm saying is that you can't blame alcohol, cocain, heroin or a knife for someones death but the environment of the person that lead him to act so

  • @NukeGenious when i was young, i scratched my eye lens, the doctor put cocaine on it and it felt better immediately. :)

  • @NukeGenious Whats wrong with cocaine? whats right with cocaine? well this might solve your problem. HOW ABOUT THE "USE OF COCAINE". jesus fucking christ. as if the drugs existance bothers people...umm no. i love how you took that little opportunity to try and sound smart tho. used to keep workers active? research? UMM yea i saw that little bit on tv also smart guy. your opinions help no one. haha next time a guy shoots himself..go up to his mom and say..dont blame the gun.

  • @250honda I like how you totally miss the point and don't even give any reasonable argument to what i say. Also I don't watch tv and have no personal gain to sound smart on a massive site.And still..you can't blame someone's action but the environment that lead him to do such an action.Get over the stereotypes society taught you and take a look at the big picture.Go learn how the brain works and perceives data and don't be so narrow minded just because you heard something different.

  • @NukeGenious Learn how the brain works and perceives data? AND IN THE SAME COMMENT YOU SAY YOU HAVE NO PERSONAL GAIN TO SOUND SMART ON A MASSIVE SITE? get over the stereotypes society taught me and look at the big picture. hmm. please tell me what the fuck you are talking about. im narrow minded because i heard something different? Or your insulting me for having a different opinion? hmmm sounds like you think your the shit honestly haha

  • @250honda sounds like u think ur the shit as well

  • @MrP00sy alrighty 

  • @250honda no shit she wont blame the gun, cuz the guy wudve shot himself............retard

  • @MrP00sy you call me retarded when you dont even understand what i said? ok moron

  • @250honda u a mind reader now? cuz im pretty sure i understood ok, but if i didnt, please enlighten me, if not, fuck off

  • @NukeGenious when you lose a friend to cocaine you dont ever want to use it again. it can be dangerous regardless of how you use it

  • those guitars are awesome, there's a whole clime surrounding that song that's just blows me ,,,, shame drugs killed the dude....

  • effortless

  • I love how effortless he makes this look Most people can only dream of being able to singing like this. Blind melon remind me of being a kid because of the innocence in his voice,But at the same time there is a sadness to it.

  • makes you realize how empty and soulless today's scene really is....

  • @okcdan69 .........Agreed. Except maybe for Sully and Godsmack?

  • What an amazing version of this song.

  • Crazy thing is in 1992 when this came out I bought it on casette tape and played in everyday for a year going to and from.

  • "got you normals lookin at me"

  • what a voice...such a shame...

  • Modern day Zeppelin. They sound to much like them.

  • 12 people use sandpaper for their toilet paper

  • "and thank god that on the day we die, our souls will be released"

  • back when people could actually sing. nowadays its all auto tuned shit

  • i really LOVE this song, is so relaxing i don't have words to describe how i feel when i listen this song = )

  • I think its reaching nirvana through drugs by avoiding pain so much you eventually want to avoid all pain life itself

  • wat drugs did he do?

  • @EMABand1 cocaine killed him, he did heroin too. (he smoked pot i think but that ain't a drug!) :D

  • Im Not Trying To Be Rude Or Anything But "Shut Up" Stop Talking About The Death Of Shannon, Its Only Gonna Make U Evan Sad, Why Talk About The Bad Things That Happend When U Can Talk About The Music And How Beautifal It Was And The Way It Makes U Feel Good. And I Know Every Song We Listen To Makes Us Feel And Think A Different Way, So Dont Feel Sad That He's Gone Feel Happy That He Left Some Gold Behind. Something For Us All To Enjoy.

  • Wonderful music. Shannon Hoon Rest in Peace.

  • 15 years today, we all lost this beautiful voice and soul. Rest in peace my friend

  • Mannnn, his voice is pure gold and goes right to my heart. God bless his soul. beautiful man

  • tan precioso con una vos tan dulce!!!!!!! parece perfecto que pena que se haya destruido la vida con las drogas...

  • Bellissima versione !!!

  • i love how you put the word 'enjoy' in the tags I always enjoy Blind Melon!

  • wooooow que linda canción! todos grosos...

  • He was such a cutie, too bad he destroyed his life... He would have had it made :)

  • get ur hand away from ur mouth when you sing shannon (:

  • never seen this before , very cool.

  • Comment removed

  • best band ever....period

  • he cant hide his noobnesss he sucked annd are is sucking the devils cock

  • @VENG1016 die

  • it's incredible how effortless shannon's vocal power is, it sounds so good.

  • joplin would've loved these guys man..i can just see them trippin acid n singin together.

  • hippies still rule

  • I always listen to this song whenever I want to feel in peace, and when you do it having in mind the deep meaning of the lyrics it's just a tune that can reach your soul... even though it's about a sad story it makes me smile :D

  • das rote mikrofon macht alles noch besser

  • i think they all realised at the very end how fkn indredible that sounded. hoon off his face grinning around at evryone just knowing everything was flowing....

  • the whole band is amazing

  • RIP

  • I wish I could of just gave Shannon a big hug and never let go.

    :)

    your memory lives through us, melon*heads. <3

  • very good music

  • it pisses me off when i see dead musicians like this. I dont understand why someone would keep going down a reckless path. Life isnt so bad that you need drugs and i know its much deeper than that but if you really want to quit you can Lennon did cold Turkey because he had a strong mind. I dont know why they are gone

  • @j1nt3tsu shannon knew that..in fact he wrote a song called "life aint so shitty"... the thing is...no matter how strong a mind you have some people can still not help feeling bad and depressed and drugs are always there for them...pressures of the world jsut got to him and he took it too far one time and it killed him...im sure if you could speak to him the day before that happened he wouldve told you that yea he had a problem he wished he could overcome but jsut couldnt...its very sad.

  • @j1nt3tsu

    ever TRIED drugs? tarts as a curiousness. one hit off the crack pipe. one GOOOOOD bump.

    it will all become clear. there is no such thing as an "ex" drug addict. once, and always.

    (not to be confused with "dependency" fuckin lightweights!)

    drug addicts spend what is left of their life fighting the desire. a drug addict, at best will only EVER be able to say

    havent done any in a long time"

    i havent done drugs in a long time

  • @edslides good luck staying clean bro

  • @poopeatit

    thank you man. im kinda proud in a wierd way to say so. and a bit of a hypocrite too. i still partake in the occasional hand rolled diz buster, and some beers on the weekend. i should have elaborated and said hard drugs.

    anniehoooooo...........
