I was fortunate enough to see these guys in 1993 and then a month before Shannon passed away. It's 2018 and I'm still listening to them. These guys are one of the most underrated bands of that era.
Thank you! When people don't know Blind Melon or only say yeah those guys that played No Rain and had no other hits... I want to punch them in the teeth.... These guys were the best of the best. And young as heck. Imagine what they would be doing today. So unfair.
I was born in 68 and now at 54yrs old I can say that the 90's were the best decade I've experienced. Great music that pushed the limits and artists who could truly sing and play instruments from the soul.
Absolutely... It was the pinnacle of music in my opinion. 50s good. 60s better. 70s awesome. 80s sucked ..sorry if that offended anyone. 90s.. set the standard. Untouchable. 2000s bayc to good....now.? Ehhhhh. Dont really feel much of it at all. If any. Though older bands are making music again. So maybe it'll jump start a rebirth of greatness again.
Soooooo damn goood. I'm in my late 30's and a classic rock 60/70's junky, and I do it on vinyl. This band is one of only a handful that I'm missing in my collection. They are awesome. Love it all.

Capitol Records execs thought this was more like a jam session song created to fill the album. They didn't realize the voices and bass line / drums are killing it.
I could not agree more, this song is extraordinary. Back in '92 when I first popped this CD in the CD player, I knew it was one of those songs I'd listen to for the rest of my life. Over my entire lifetime, I've only rarely had that experience. Heard this song first on Mtv and went right out and bought the CD so I could hear it over and over. Decades later, I now understand that many people like pop songs like No Rain because they don't have to think that deeply, and although they might bother to learn the lyrics so they can sing along, I don't think many people really take time to think that deeply about what the writers are saying. This is actually one of those songs where I try *not* to think about the lyrics because they're quite heartbreaking, and it just makes me cry thinking how heroin destroyed his life and how miserable he (and many others) were getting caught up in the ruthless greed of the psychopaths that ran the music industry for decades. All that aside, this song totally rips
I love no rain, but damn, it's such a shame that their other music didn't get near enough recognition. All I can say is that blind melon are one of my favourite bands of all time.
Layers and layers of wonderful guitars over one another. Funky and grungy and heavy spacey, folky, toe tapping, head bangin' , quiet, bluesy, abrasive. Them guitars!
Then, over the top, that high vocal scars of small town life. How simple it all seems and how much depth is truly underneath. All while the drums keeps it from chaos.
It sucks that radio stations only ever play No Rain by these guys. They're such a musically awesome band and are so much more than that song. Such an underrated band
I'm in the very front row of the crowd in this video. They filmed that part in a warehouse in downtown Los Angeles. They played a whole set but did Tones of Home about 8 times for the video. I am tall and was so close to Shannon that he reached down to me with the microphone and i sang into it. 😎 That was a blast.
@rosaiglarsh9987 Dayton cemetery right outside Lafayette,Indiana his hometown....I live 10 mins from his grave it's in small church cemetery towards the back he is buried beside his brother Tim and just recently his dad on the other side there are pics and vids online shows it and lots of other stuff
love it more of you 100 year olds should be on our generation´s videos !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I listened Blind Melon for the first time at 2005 in college, in the Brazil's south. A colleague who lived in USA like a mormon talked about Shanoon with so much love. He borrow me a CD and I listened at the my cousin's discman. I fell so much love for this friend who presented me Blind Melon and Shannon.
2:17 The drummer is really playing, "Out Of The Box", like Keith Moon but with more precision and technique. If You really concentrate on the drums, You realize how much more He's doing than keeping a beat. Its the phrasing of his drumming which is unique. A true master, and my favorite song of the whole era.
I just sort of discovered Blind Melon for real. Heard No Rain ages ago. But just heard Change for the first time this week. Incredible song. Now the rest of their music is opening up to me for the first time. It's a beautiful thing.
Why'd he have to be so damn self-destructive? And if he _had_ to die tragically young, isn't it a shame he missed being in the 27 Club by less than a month?
@@rosaiglarsh9987 No one heard what he was saying in his songs? Just like Kurt Cobain. No one was REALLY listening. I wish I had been aware of each of their music at the time. I would have heard that they were each suicidal due to my training. Don't know if I could have helped.
CBC Canada played No Rain today by Blind Melon. Never heard of these amazing guys. They totally slipped under the radar. Best band I've heard since I was a kid in the 70s
I go through cycles in my Life. Where I get into stuff. And then I put it away in a Pantheon of all the things I cherish in Life. That's what's going on with me right now with this Masterpiece of an Album. Shannon Hoon had pipes like no one else. He Sung beautifully. GOD BLESS YOU SHANNON, a big hurray to this amazing Band , BLIND MELON,Thx u for the Memories.
Great, great song. Somehow bridges 70's style jam bands with modern rock, a slight grunge edge and Shannon sounds a little like the hippie Perry Farrell! What a great band!
It’s so beautiful to natural to be who you are, he was definitely a new hippie. He looks like tha dudes did when I grew up in tha 70s. Sure wish that look would come back coz it sure looks good. !!!!
That's really cool, you've got good taste. Soup is also an amazing record, didn't get as much attention but had real rockers, especially the song "Galaxy".
52 yrs old now and this is still one of the greatest albums of my life time. It came out during a very bad period in my life. Addiction and divorce a life of disappointment. I could put this album on fire up a Debbie an all was good . Left this album on repeat
Like many, this band came up on my radar because of 'No Rain' when it came out. I bought the album and was instantly hooked. I played that cd front to back hundreds of times - then of course bought 'Soup' and 'Nico' & 'Live at the Metro'. I remember precicely where I was when I heard that Shannon died. I can't describe the way this band touches my heart. No other music impacts me quite the way theirs does. A great band - playing honest music - at just the right time in your life will do that. Blind Melon is that band to me. Sending love their way.
One of the greatest voices of the 90's cut short. As unique as Chris Cornell. So underrated. Don't Cry by G'N'R was a duet with Axl and Shannon (watch the video he's in every rooftop shot) and if you listen close, he hits all the highest notes of the chorus. Gone to soon. RIP
Yeah, I agree. I jammed this shit in high-school. I'm still listening. Timeless melody. Music you can let go and feel free. RIP, where ever you are Shannon.
I was in high school when I first heard this song, now 2023 with grown up kids, still playing and enjoying it. I wish Shannon have lived longer but I think his voice lives on!
I really loved the '60s hippie revival we seemed to have in music in the early '90s. Bands like Blind Melon and Blues Traveler. I wasn't alive for the first hippie music movement, but I feel blessed I got to see a little piece of it re-emerge. Just wish it would've lasted longer.
Shema Culz “keep on dreamin’ boy cause when you quit dreamin’ it’s time to die” has been my quote since 15 years old rip Shannon hoon, brilliant guy ⭐️
Check out Blind Melons new music too! Travis Warren is legit as the lead singer and they are 🔥 live! Blind Melon has been my favorite band since 1998 and I’m so glad they are still producing new music!
I used to listen to blind melon on the way to soccer games growing up, my dad was the coach and these guys put us in a good mood everytime. Listening to their music as an adult my life is starting to make sense 😂 shannon had a huge impact on my childhood and so many lives. My 2 month old now falls asleep to soup every nap time, takes only a few minutes and he's so peaceful.
Amazing music! Wish there was more fusion music like this Funk, Jazz, Rock. Makes every molecule want to stand up and dance in different directions. RIP Shannon Hoon
A candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long. and you just know that Shannon is rocking out with all of the other great ones we lost to soon in Heaven.
It was awesome then new music coming out and waiting to see the videos and really hoping your favorite song off the album would be made into a video. Hopefully by Spike! The most awesome video directors with the most awesome bands it was great when MTV actually played videos! Rolling around with an half OZ and your friends just rolling J's and jamming out, whoever had the biggest vehicle with the best system was the driver. I had a van with 2 10" subs, 2 12" woofers, a bunch of smaller speakers and 1500 watts, 2 24" black lights and strobes, made everyone listen to all that good music! 🤣 We used to set up the drums in the back, plug in the guitar to the head unit aux input and the bass guitar plugged into the inverter and we'd jam and drive around and watch people looking everywhere for the live band playing and then I'd switch on the interior lights and strobes! 🤣
How much thier great career could have been, BM what a bunch of AMAZING musicians!! And Shannon what a loss for Rock... 2021 & still we all the fans miss U bro.
Was in high school when these guys came out.....absolutely loved anything I could get my hands on by them to listen to....rip Shannon thank you for remarkable showmanship and vocals
March, 1993, some of my buddies and I went to LA for spring break from Michigan State University. I’ll never forget hearing this song on the radio driving down the 10 freeway to Santa Monica. We had no idea who this was but we were all blown away; this groovy, bluesy rock and roll led by a front man with such a distinctive voice...it was like nothing we were listening to at the time. Went to Tower Records later and found out that the band was called Blind Melon. Of course I bought the cassette and we listened to it the whole week, every song was (and still is) amazing; Tones of Home was our anthem for that trip, and we relished the fact that we were the ones who introduced these guys to the rest of our friends. Not long after about 20 of us got tix and bussed down to see them with GnR at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Again I was blown away by their live performance, and Shannon with such raw energy running around all over the stage in bare feet. Damn, I’ll never forget those days, every time I listen to Blind Melon it brings back some of my fondest memories of such a wonderful decade. R.I.P Shannon, hopefully we’ll meet up in another life...
Live at Woodstock is faster and whew!!!! Take you on a trip. Not into this type music anymore but LOVE LOVE LOVE Blind Melon. Shannon's vocals are still amazing. Try those vocals yourselves and see....imagine an hour of this awesome frontman RIP, 😢
saw them live with guns and roses at the dean smith center chapel hill nc, in 92 and i was blown away. one of the best bands ive ever seen live. the way they sounded in that place was unbeliveable. ran out the next day and bought the record
This is one of my favorite Melon songs...... one of many many favorites. I wonder what he would have written for us if he didn't lose his battle with addiction. F'kin sad RIP brother..... you are missed!

Could have been the best band of all time. We’ll never know.
facts
The most underrated band of the 90s. Blind Melon was one of a kind.
They really were So AMAZING!!
Yes I wish Shannon Hoon was with us stil
They were a terrific band but they are too similar to Janes Addiction to call them one of a kind.
@@stardogMLB not the same at all.

Milk and honey to our ears and souls.
"I use to think this was the land of milk and honey, come to find out it's all hate and money" sang 30 years ago. Still a true statement today.
It's a canopy of greed
I grew to this song. Have always loved these guys.
That lyric line just hit me in the face...and I've always known this song.

Not today
I don't understand why no rain is there most popular song when this song exists
I agree
No Rain came out as a video "The Bee Girl" and people loved it and it became their song.
Capitol Records execs thought this was more like a jam session song created to fill the album. They didn't realize the voices and bass line / drums are killing it.
Yes, the entire album album is great 👍 Fuck the label 😠

Same here. Blind Melon was my absolute favorite growing up
@@en5788 Very true! Soup was a great record, I still play "Galaxy" all the time. Such a classic band.
@@en5788 No Rain sucks compared to their other stuff. I got my dad to thank for getting me into this band. Love them, RIP Shannon!
It's your favorite grunge band's favorite band, they were still really popular. I mean he hung out with Layne Staley until he died.
Layers and layers of wonderful guitars over one another. Funky and grungy and heavy spacey, folky, toe tapping, head bangin' , quiet, bluesy, abrasive. Them guitars!

Who else wonders what Shannon and the guys could have done if only. Glad I got to see them play back in the day. 💕🙏💕
Amen friend! ✌️👍🏽

Was in high school when these guys came out.....absolutely loved anything I could get my hands on by them to listen to....rip Shannon thank you for remarkable showmanship and vocals
I loved this whole album!! ❤
March, 1993, some of my buddies and I went to LA for spring break from Michigan State University. I’ll never forget hearing this song on the radio driving down the 10 freeway to Santa Monica. We had no idea who this was but we were all blown away; this groovy, bluesy rock and roll led by a front man with such a distinctive voice...it was like nothing we were listening to at the time. Went to Tower Records later and found out that the band was called Blind Melon. Of course I bought the cassette and we listened to it the whole week, every song was (and still is) amazing; Tones of Home was our anthem for that trip, and we relished the fact that we were the ones who introduced these guys to the rest of our friends. Not long after about 20 of us got tix and bussed down to see them with GnR at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Again I was blown away by their live performance, and Shannon with such raw energy running around all over the stage in bare feet. Damn, I’ll never forget those days, every time I listen to Blind Melon it brings back some of my fondest memories of such a wonderful decade. R.I.P Shannon, hopefully we’ll meet up in another life...
Live at Woodstock is faster and whew!!!! Take you on a trip. Not into this type music anymore but LOVE LOVE LOVE Blind Melon. Shannon's vocals are still amazing. Try those vocals yourselves and see....imagine an hour of this awesome frontman RIP, 😢
saw them live with guns and roses at the dean smith center chapel hill nc, in 92 and i was blown away. one of the best bands ive ever seen live. the way they sounded in that place was unbeliveable. ran out the next day and bought the record
One of the best bands of all time 🤘
Blind Melon....one of the most talented amazing groups.....Rock On...
My favorite band of all time!!! So massively underrated.
This is one of my favorite Melon songs...... one of many many favorites.
I wonder what he would have written for us if he didn't lose his battle with addiction. F'kin sad
RIP brother..... you are missed!
Always loved the pyschedelic and jam band style and influence they had
Beautiful song; one of their best.
I agree. I think this and "Galaxy" from their second album are my favorites.
What a great band!
