omg I have never noticed that as many x's as I've watched this but he does!!! Thanx 4 pointing that out, cracks my ass, I just love him so much..i will always love u Shannon!!! u will always have a special place in my heart =))
no doubt, shannon hoon was one of the greatest vocalists, but more importantly one of the greatest songwriters. blind melon were pretty much the only band with that kind sound, it just so happens the best always seem to die young
Almost heart wrenching to watch, knowing the tragic waste of his life. Every time he sang this he made it look like the first time, never just going thru the motions. So frinkin unfair..
great song and like this particular upload; thanks! to me .. Shannon Hoon sounds like himself; that's it. never be another, and no one else he's like or like him. just my opinion.
To anyone out there who has been inspired by Shannon Hoon like so many have this is to you: I am filming a documentary this summer. I am taking a road trip from GA to Indiana and driving to Shannon's Grave to pay tribute. Along the way he will be remembered and celebrated. I want to hold a memorial for him there and I amstill scheduling dates. If anyone out there wants to attend contact me by sending me a message. Long live Melon!
i've just heard this song for the first time today and i already love it^^ i have read alot of comment about which drugs he got killed by.. loooL!!!! just smoke some weed.. have a good time and chill ffs to this awesome track!! come on dudes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, you're both right. Heroin was his drug of choice, but he was mostly an opportunist. He did whatever was available. During a tour relapse, he succumbed to a cocaine overdose.
damn straight, i can no longer watch music channels now unless the current show is "non stop nirvana". it used to be about great music, whether it was grunge (cobain), reggae (nowell)or rap (tupac) wheras now the radio is just filled with the current fad, it dosn't matter about quality now it's just how marketable the image is.
It's just you...Been listening to NY for over 40 years and there is no way they sound the same. Shannon Hoons voice was much better imho and I like NY so it's not a knock on him
There are a ton of songs way better than this by Blind Melon. Though it is incredible... especially the ripped away version. It just upsets me when people say he died from heroin or "speed balling" I respect Blind Melon to damn much. RIP Shannon! Melon Head For Life!
i think you're just reading it wrong. the comment was definatly not proper sentance structure, but its like someone speaking. i don't know, i just read it, and it makes since. and then i read what you replied. this probably sounds broken to you too? god bless Shannon
@IwotchVid3oz watch the video, it'll make sense. He replaces the lyric "just want someone to say to me, oh oh oh oh" with "ho ho ho ho MERRY CHRISTMAS!"
DRUGS DONT GIVE YOU TALENT!!!!! they just give you sad things to write about... drugs come with the rockstar life ...its just how it is....thats like saying that shannons voice would be less pretty if he wasnt high... lol
Their voices are indeed kinda simmilar. But Shannon can sing a lot better than Neil Young. And I love Neil Young :)) Btw. this is how the album version should have sounded like, too :)
He's gorgeous, and has one of the most prettiest voices ever. What a shame he's not with us anymore. Rip Shannon Hoon
beautiful voice (and smile). RIP.
I'll always be there when you wake.
Always loved that line.
I'm in love with his voice, and face, smiling.
That is such a good folk indie music rocking out the world.
I absolutly looooove this remix, he is awesume!!! and sooooo beautiful
he makes it look so effortless. awesome vocals. and AWesome guitar solo.
I wish we had music like this nowadays
Definitely my favorite version of this song. :)
Shannon Looks happy,and he seems to enjoy singing this song very much...Hope he is happy up there...R.I.P-S.H
omg I have never noticed that as many x's as I've watched this but he does!!! Thanx 4 pointing that out, cracks my ass, I just love him so much..i will always love u Shannon!!! u will always have a special place in my heart =))
I also love Paper Scratcher from this session. Early 90s music was my first love
i love the droney way they start the song, i think its a great way to do it.
fabulous,I love it
This song was on The O.C.. Very good!
Jesus christ, this is amazing!! I've never heard this version before. Wow!!!
I love this!!!
this is really a great remix and the original is just classic as well

Fantastic!

great!!
Very cool alternate version!

A cross between Tim Schmidt, randy meisner, and gueddy lee
It's just you...Been listening to NY for over 40 years and there is no way they sound the same. Shannon Hoons voice was much better imho and I like NY so it's not a knock on him
RIP Shannon
he looks so happy .. i dont understand why he ended up his life like that .. its not fair... its not sane..
There are a ton of songs way better than this by Blind Melon. Though it is incredible... especially the ripped away version. It just upsets me when people say he died from heroin or "speed balling"
I respect Blind Melon to damn much.
RIP Shannon!
Melon Head For Life!
igualmente hablo de la intro!. los arreglos de los punteos estan muy buenos!.
i think you're just reading it wrong. the comment was definatly not proper sentance structure, but its like someone speaking. i don't know, i just read it, and it makes since. and then i read what you replied. this probably sounds broken to you too?
god bless Shannon
2:54, ho ho ho, merry chistmas!
you probably didn't listen past 1:45 thats where they do the real song
nice.
though shannon is dead the rest of blind melon with a new singer still tour
awesome voice it wont last long the way he sings
tho!
@IwotchVid3oz watch the video, it'll make sense. He replaces the lyric "just want someone to say to me, oh oh oh oh" with "ho ho ho ho MERRY CHRISTMAS!"
LOL. I think i can admit to that and not burn in hell. YES! Shannon is GOD HAHAHAHAHA.
haha Awesome.
Peace!
I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO SAVE ME!
vet hoor :D
Wow...the origonal kicks this one's ass.
It's good until 2:00, then it just gets awesome...
your not listening pass 1:55 , thats the song you are used to.
nobody will ever match the tone of shannon's voice...its just sad.
He sounds like Robert Plant at the beginning
fuckin awesome
He clearly says it.
yeah i think he does
my husband works for peterbilt.
What a fucking voice
you make it sound like a bad thing
does anybody know where to get tabs for the beginning of the song?
I wish someone had saved him.
merry christmas?
@jane4mary
Exactly what I was thinking.
Dude, i'm just going by what i read on wikipedia
pure talent wasted by drugs T_T
fuckin its there man
do u mean steven tyler?? cuz i do see how he could sound like him..if he tried;)
DRUGS DONT GIVE YOU TALENT!!!!! they just give you sad things to write about... drugs come with the rockstar life ...its just how it is....thats like saying that shannons voice would be less pretty if he wasnt high... lol
is it just me or does his voice sound a lot like Neil young?
no..didn't mean like it was a bad thing to watch...just a senseless loss
i would love to meet up. do you have a myspace? if you do message me with a link
I'd say Robert Plant before Neil.
I disagree, this is a great version,
No dude.... check your history.
Their voices are indeed kinda simmilar. But Shannon can sing a lot better than Neil Young. And I love Neil Young :))
Btw. this is how the album version should have sounded like, too :)
