Blind Melon

From the brief clips I'd heard of them before, I'd not really liked Shannon Hoon's voice, but listening to the samples of their first album that iTunes gives you, my opinion has improved suddenly. I might check it out properly at some point....

Been listening a lot lately. I can't get over how good Shannon's voice sounds on Soup, the song.

It's sad really, I think he could have developed to be one of the really big ones. I know these things are impossible to speculate on, but he had a gift that's for sure.

Your voice doesn't get better when you get older. So I figure what he had was the best you were going to get.

I didn't mean that his voice necessarily would develop any more. More in terms of him as an artist, he could have been more known to the world.

There's a Kickstarter campaign out now to raise funds to complete a Shannon Hoon documentary. They will be using material from the 200+ hours of footage shot by Shannon himself between 1990 and 1995. He basically documented the creation and rise of Blind Melon.

Maybe there will be some footage from the Use Your Illusion recording. I know he had his camera with him, there's that video where Axl wishes Shannon's mom a merry christmas.

The Kickstarter made its goal. Looking forward to seeing this.

Soup is simply one of the most underrated albums of all time.

Probably the most underrated of the 90s I would think.
