      +Lee Probert Huge respect from Oakland, Ca., both of my twins loved Blind Melon. And this song, in particular, at Woodstock, was the one we loved the most. What an amazing band. And Shannon Hoon was truly that horrible cliche, one of a kind, unique in this world.....Kurt Cobain and Nirvana also one of my faves....I understood Cobain's suicide. Life was unbearable...purely...his real physical pain...his addiction...Godspeed to both...Forever young...

  • @tiemyshoes92
    @tiemyshoes92 9 років тому +18

    Rogers obviously is still dealing with Shannon's death. Don't understand why she feels she can speak for Rogers on how he is trying to live his life, but that's normal with a television personality who thinks they are famous. Rogers is an amazing guy and one talented guitarist. I wish he was still playing music. I'm glad he is making money, but it should be with what truly inspires him in life. I guess you have to feed your family so I can't judge. ...It's a shame Blind Melon never hit their peak as a band. Just 2 iconic albums and Shannon was gone. Shannon, Rogers, Glenn, Christopher, and Brad will always be Blind Melon the greatest band from the 90's.

It reminds of The Doors since again, amazing musicians and the band wouldn't have been nearly as good if it wasn't for them.

    @andrewbowen6875 2 роки тому

    I have to think that Hoon had some undiagnosed condition from his previous abuse of his body? For the simple reason that they all say it’s hard to fathom that an hour previous he seemed to be with it? Shooting coke is a very niche thing to do and highly dangerous on the heart but it’s very rare that one substance kills and is usually a combination of alcohol a downer and the coke an upper that does polar opposites to the body.
    Didn’t like their music but I can appreciate the talent and imo he was as much a victim of the 90s junkie theme in fashion and music as if looking like a thin junkie is something desirable and those awful 90s interventions that were almost trendy were responsible for the likes of Cobain taking his life
