djmelbatoast Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I was and still am a huge fan of his music."If I can leave with a little bit of explanation, then anywhere in the world I choose to go I'll have it made." - Shannon Hoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffhead77 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 bllind melon were at the top of their game and shannon hoon was taken much before his time. I listen to them at least once a week and miss the music they could have made. RIP shannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I am also an avid fan. The Soup record...shit. Every song is killer. 2x4, Vernie, Skinned, Toes Across the Floor, God's Presents, Wilt...what a great album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmelbatoast Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I have a live recording of Time, that I think is from woodstock. Anyway it is truely amazing ten minutes of unbelievable music with Shannon improviving over the jam. Damn! I wish I had the oppertunity to see them before he died.Of course, I probably would have had to bring an umbrella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 hey \/\/i!!y....I've had this name tucked in the back of my mind since may2-4....I think this is who you & Leanne were telling us about (involved being tackled from across the room in a hotel....?)You promised to learn us more about Hoon and get us some of his music (esp. the posthumus stuff....?) Or maybe it was the gin. Hazy memories all around, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chameleon Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) I saw Blind Melon with the Tea party at the Warehouse in Toronto when i was still in High School and I remember thinking wow, this band is really good, I bet they'll be bigger as the years go by.Too bad it was all cut short, they had real potential and a unique sound.

LJFH Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 These guys have been in my top five for as long as I can remember. I loved them ever since I heard No Rain the first time...went out and bought the album that afternoon and had them on the frequent playlist ever since.Mouthful of Cavities has got to be one of my alltime favorite songs. So beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

\/\/illy Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 hey \/\/i!!y....I've had this name tucked in the back of my mind since may2-4....I think this is who you & Leanne were telling us about (involved being tackled from across the room in a hotel....?)You promised to learn us more about Hoon and get us some of his music (esp. the posthumus stuff....?) Or maybe it was the gin. Hazy memories all around, I'm sure.Yup, that would have been us. We're big fans of Shannon and those 'Melon boys. I recall Leanne and I being the only ones at a party that even knew who he was the day that he died. We were both devestated.We'll hook you up with some music the next time we hook up together.

\/\/illy Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Change I don't feel the suns comin' out todayIts staying in, it's gonna find another way.As I sit here in this misery, I don'tThink I'll ever see the sun from here.And oh as I fade away,They'll all look at me and say, and they'll say,Hey look at him! I'll never live that way.But that's okayThey're just afraid to change.When you feel your life ain't worth livingYou've got to stand up andTake a look around you then a look way up to the sky.And when your deepest thoughts are broken,Keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die.And as we all play parts of tomorrow,Some ways will work and other ways we'll play.But I know we all can't stay here forever,So I want to write my words on the face of today.And then they'll paint itAnd oh as I fade away,They'll all look at me and they'll say,Hey look at him and where he is these days.When life is hard, you have to change.

\/\/illy Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 My favourite lyrics...All That I Need All that I need is the air that I breatheAnd all that I need are (all) thingsI don't needAnd all that really mattersIs what matters to me(hee..hee)And who of (? ) you are like meIf I was to smile and I held out my hand (hold)And opened it now would you not understandBecause you know if I'm to benefit I'll do everything thatI can (handle? )And who of you are like meIt will make you feel goodOver my shoulderIt will get me downAnd got me tied upTil' I grow olderBut feel me inside of youLike you want it toBut is it just the pains in your headThat are thrilling meAnother life's...falling down onto it's kneesBut I'll never smile the wayThat I did like that day....Everything will be ok......It'll be ok......

Booche Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Well, if you arent joking Fretman, its about Ed Gein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\/\/illy Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Police investigating the disappearance of a store clerk, Bernice Worden, in Plainfield on November 17, 1957, suspected Gein to be involved. Upon entering a shed on his property, they made their first horrific discovery of the night: Worden's corpse. She had been decapitated, and was hanging upside down by the ankles and had been split open down the torso like a deer. The mutilations had been performed post-mortem; she had been shot at close-range from a .22-caliber rifle.Searching the house, authorities found:severed heads acting as bedposts in the bedroom; skin used to make lampshades and upholster chair seats; skullcaps made into soup bowls; a human heart (it is disputed where the heart was found; the deputies' reports all claim that the heart was in a saucepan on the stove, with some crime scene photographers claiming it was in a paper bag); a face mask made out of real facial skin found in a paper bag; a necklace of human lips; a waistcoat, called a "mammary vest," made up of a vagina and breasts stitched together; and other items fashioned from the parts of human bodies, including a belt made from nipples.

fretman Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 wow....Interesting readthere's been alot of songs written about him. I'm very familiar with the slayer song "Dead Skin Mask" too, but didn't even realize both songs were about the same person.[color:purple]I really should open a book once in awhile.

Sarahbelle Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) I was just thinking of the song change on my way home. It's been one of my favourite songs for about 10 years now.
