Blind Melon

[CheapJon]

i like them really much and loves shannons voice.. first song i've heard with them was of course "no rain".. the second was prolly 2x4 on the woodstock 94 or whenever it was.. so cool song IMO.. then there's deserted, change, tones of home, also great songs.. a while ago i listened to them now have forgotten most songs.. fuck gotta play a couple of songs now

"Dear 'ol Dad" and "Galaxy" were two of my favorites.

[TrueRock&Roll]

They are a really good band.   Atleast to me.  "soul one" is my favorite song by them

[Thorned Rose]

I have the Classic Masters and the self-titled. I like them very well. They are from Lafayette, where Axl and Izzy are from. I grew up about 3 hours southeast of where he did. His daughter Nico goes to school there.

I visited his grave on 11-07-04. It was really a great thing to see. His tombstone is beautiful. He also has these words eched on the stone. "So I'll write the words on the face of today, and then they'll paint it."

Great man, troubled man amazing singer.

[TrueRock&Roll]

Really is a shame that he died.  I heard that there is more music that they recorded also, I believe the guitar player was talking about possibly releasing more of it sometime in the future.  Does anyone else remember hearing this?

I've started to get into them recently through their self-titled, what does everyone else think of them?

I had the self-titled and Nico for ages before I got round to buying Soup. All I'll tell you is,

buy it now! Before hearing that album I thought that they were just a great band, but now they're one of my favourites. As much as I loved the self-titled, I have to be in the right mood to listen to the majority of it, there are only a couple of songs, like Holy Man, that transcend mood. But with Soup, I feel like I can put it on any time and, as I've said here before, I think that it's one of the best vocally recorded albums of all time. The last three songs are just like, seriously... wow.

I just have their self titled album and it's one of my favorite cd's. I love soak the sin, dear ol' dad and change. They have a really good sound and they are really unique. I'm planning on buying Soup next!

[Lithium]

I recommend the album 'Nico'.

[Jim]

... I recommend listening the song Soup from Nico and then wondering, if they can bump that song from the album then what must have stayed on it...

one of the best bands ever

Really is a shame that he died.? I heard that there is more music that they recorded also, I believe the guitar player was talking about possibly releasing more of it sometime in the future.? Does anyone else remember hearing this?

yeah he was so talented and unique.. and yeah i think i'v heard that too

[Jim]

I heard it. And there's a thread to be found on the subject! It dates back a fair while though.

[Mama Kin]

What album was this? I forgot since I posted. I have recently got their new greatest hits/DVD deal and their live album.......

[blaqktiger]

todays super unexpected day. first ending of darkness, now blind melon randomly come back with new singer. mad, next it will be crashdiet have found there new singer (please please please)

[BA]

thats radiculous its like having alice in chains without layne and guns n roses without slash,its not gonna be the same or half as good.

[Chief]

should be interesting, i'd check it out.

but to replace a lead singer is pretty much impossible, especially shannon.

i bet it could be pretty sweet though, it has potential but of course it won't even be close to what it was.
