fluffhead77 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I'm sitting here at work listening to their second album, Soup and I'm reminded how amazing a band they really were...RIP Shannon, you're missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateaux Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Couldn't agree more, i thank mR Brennan for getting me on them. The footage from Woodstock is unbeilevable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I always liked that album as well. I haven't heard it in years though... I don't know whatever happened to my copy...Too many die far too young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattm Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Blind Melon opened at the first major concert I ever went to and started my live show obsession. I still love listening to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I love all three of their albums. They are all on heavy rotation on my mp3 player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Yeah, heroin kills. It really sucks too because I always thought Blind Melon would really go places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneMtn Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Although I agree his music was okay, on behalf of the Canadian West Coast, I must disagree with the idea that he will be missed...In Vancouver, he was arrested after urinating on the audience.http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Shannon_Hoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Weren't they opening for Lenny Kravitz though? I think I may also be guilty for trying to urinate on Lenny Kravitz fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 NewRider: That is the best explanation I've ever heard for that stunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodRev Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I wholeheartedly agree; I place Soup in my top 10 rock albums of the 1990's easily. Here is a post I made about it last September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balogna pogna Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 I was at that Maple Leaf Gardens show when Duff came out with Lenny Kravitz. Now that I think of it I think Cully stole my weed that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djmelbatoast Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 One of my all time favorites.The movie is also really interesting.Does every one know that Shannon was Axel Rose's cousin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartamophone Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 One of my all time favorites.The movie is also really interesting.Does every one know that Shannon was Axel Rose's cousin?And that you can see him singing back up in the "Don't Cry" video? (I'm pretty sure it's "Don't Cry". Definitely a post-Appetite GnR video). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 I noticed on a list of new releases that a new Blind Melon archival live CD was released today. I'm afraid I didn't read the review so I don't know much about it, but I thought all you Melonheads would like to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarahbelle Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 They are still one of my favourite bands. I was so sad when I heard Shannon Hoon died... I'm still sad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
