    About 2 Meter Sessions
    ====================
    Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world.
    Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993).
    The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zealand band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands.

    Shannon and Blind Melon have been my favorites my whole life since they first came out. I never found anybody who ever came close to taking that crown. I was actually pretty bored with music. Until a year ago when I discovered Ren and his band The Big Push. They aren't anything like Blind Melon or Shannon, except for the fact that the music and lyrics and chemistry just touch me in a way that I hadn't felt in decades. We will never know what music we could have had if Shannon hadn't died. xoxo RIP Shannon.

    Juat throwing thia out there, but i recently found an artist named Dirt Miller and his voice reminds me of Shannon's. Someone else said he sounds like if Layne Staley grew up on bluegrass. He's phenomenal. Just sharing more great music. I miss Shannon 😔

      Cornell bro. As far as ability. I'll take Cornell and Shannon honestly. Kurt was my favorite artist of the 90s and maybe my favorite of all time. But, vocally, Cornell and Shannon just had ridiculous ability where it came effortlessly. Staley was also a beast obviously. Loved AIC

    Way too underrated! I bought their self-titled album from a Garage sale! I was blown away how diverse the tracks were and how fricken good they were! Too bad "No Rain" overshadowed their music. The best ones are gone too soon - an unfortunate reality.

    Blind Melon Lyrics "Paper Scratcher"
    Shuffle can to can nobody really gives a damn
    For every living day I give myself a hand
    Now I'm scroungy as can be
    I got all you normals looking at me
    I'll scratch a hole in my life
    So everyone can see
    My mind is a mind that I have come to know
    And my eyes can't conceive a world that can not grow
    And Fridays are always fresh days
    Screamin' at the sun, don't really
    Know what he has done
    He don't believe in God and a world as one
    So he rambles through the weeds
    And he will sleep beneath the trees
    On the day I die, Thank God my Soul will be released
    I've seen all your eyes
    And I've seen all your faces
    Can you tell me honestly that you wanna be free?
    Then look in my eyes
    I've been lots of places
    Can you tell me honestly that you'd want to be me
    Honestly

    What a band. Increisble version of scratcher here. Page, Plant and Jagger all said best of 90s and only band that Zep magic and ability to play such diverse stuff. You can tell those every member has a very wide range of influences. From soft 70s stuff, funk, southern, zeppelin, who, Van Halen, they really stand out among their competition. Unfortunately the mgmt and record co milking the GNR angle really hurt them over time. Stupid shortsighted thing to do, but the greed of the industry was never known for their intellect. I relate w SH so much, from a small puritanical town and love of pharmaceutical adventurism to a degree I either stop or the next helicopter ride ER trip might be my last. Rip SH and his Mother
