Too all of you People coming on here and leaving stupid comments about Shannon Hoon Like " What an idiot" or what a junkie" Do you know how much blind melon fans and I are sick of hearing that shit!? How big of a pussy Do you have to be to sit there and stand up on your high fucking pedastal and point fingers and say shit! shannon Hated that and I do too! im 14 and know better than to talk shit at people" HERES AN OLD SAYING " IF YOUR NOT GOING TO SAY ANYTHING NICE DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!

@dreadedwheat26 Yeah man, you don't "think" before you type, and I think all of you should have the same RESPECT for Shannon Hoon as he did for Jerry Garcia... "I think a full life... doesn't have to be talked about"

[tripmywire7]

i really don't like this host... he's pretty annoying....

@GnosticPrince tom grant on the murder case before the death occurred? are you really that thick?

[GnosticPrince]

@dreadedwheat26 - Look up how some of them were MURDERED fool and you might be feel a little different about REALITY. Search Tom Grant, the private investigator who has been on the Cobain murder case since BEFORE the death even occured. New interviews, new books, NEW evidence, it has all been released and more is to come in the near future. GO RESEARCH and LEARN, then come back and talk that stupid shit about about "drugs killing all the musicians." FUCK OFF you are CLUELESS.

what a great guy. its weird how much i have in common with him, like how he grew up and stuff

@kozmicblues14

You have right!!! Really. Thank you for saying it. I agree..

People who says that bullshit don't even know what music is ; / Shannon was such an amazing person.. His soul... His music... Everytime when I watch interviews or music videos with him I am sad and I just think 'why him?'..

I love Blind Melon so much.

I am 14 too ;) but I really feel music.

and I really appreciate what did you write ;)

(sorry for my English, I'm from Poland ;))

@naraka28 ok, i understand. musicians dieing from drugs is almost boring at this point. too many great people snuffed out by drugs over the years,pisses me off. its just a shame.

[naraka28]

@dreadedwheat26 is not about

"getting you wrong" or whatever... it's about the fact that he had people that told him tha,t but sometimes the talking won't just work some people need more help and attention, and I don't mean everybody attention, I mean someone that would actually sit there and try to help him with his problems beyond the drug addiction... I don't wanna sound mean or anything and i respect your opinion but i have to say mine too...

[dreadedwheat26]

@savagembrace if there were more people around him like me at the time to tell him what a coked up idiot he was,he might still be alive today.i feel bad for the dude and his family,dont get me wrong.
