Blind Melon was AWESOME

[Taverner]

Shannon Hoon rocked. I get shivers every time I hear him growl "and if I die....THANK GOD MY SOUL SHALL BE RELASED!!!"

RIP Shannon

[Systematic Chaos]

1. Losing him was much more of a blow to me

than the death of Kurt Cobain. Probably because Shannon Hoon sounded so much like Jon Anderson of Yes voicewise, even if the bands didn't do similar styles of music.

[Taverner]

2. Kinda like Anderson, but I thought more like the guy from Cheap Trick

Man of a million voices...

Shannon, however, was no surprise. His entire repitoire was one big suicide note.

3. there was

a song called "Soup" on the woodstock 96 live cd that made me realize that. i never was a huge fan of theirs, but dude that Song made me realize that guy's ability. a stunning song.

4. Blind Melon was great!

I miss them. :cry:

[Viking12]

5. I saw BM at a small club in Minneapolis and was hooked

SUPER energetic show; very good time. It's sad to think of what may have been....:think:

6. I love Blind Melon as well.

I always loved the song From a Seed to a Tree. You can figure out why on your own :smoke:

7. I would listen to them on many a road trip up and down eastern seaboard

I loved Blind Melon, still do. No Rain was the first song I could really play on the guitar.

I loved not only the riffs and music but also the lyrics. Just about every song was amazing on its own.

RIP Shannon.
