I have been eating, breathing, and shitting Blind Melon lately for some reason.
My friend always said he wanted to see the private footage Shannon filmed of himself and intended to release.
I googled to see what's up with that. Danny Clinch is making it happen!
FUCK YES!
If you need a reason to get excited about this:
Shannon Hoon's Opinion on Pearl Jam (in late '91)
Blind Melon - I Wonder (Woodstock)
"Change" and "Walk" on John Stewart Show
Afterhours \ Time
Candy Says (amazing Velvet Underground version)
The Pusher
Sleepyhouse (live)
Vernie (live)
Lemonade (live)
, also, this month and last, celebrate his life and death 20 years ago (oct 21 95), but
DON'T CRY
Pretty sure he and Andy are Spirit Brothers in heaven.

the other was after I saw a PHENOMENAL Ed Kowalcyzk solo show and wanted to see if he had been DVDd for posterity. More disgruntled contributors.

There is no way not to focus on Hoon's drug use and still be honest IMO. I just want the thing to be true to reality.... and I think that reality for Shannon Hoon was an almost total haze of drugs for those few years when his band was killing it.

The Cobain film touched on the drug thing (the scene with him holding Frances), but most of it was just showing a different side of Kurt that mostly no one ever saw-a portrait of a human (many times in his own voice) conflicted about not just his celebrity, but his own existence.
it was sad at the end, as we all know how that story ends. but it wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be (for example, I sometimes cry at sad commericals). did it feel voyeuristic in nature? sometimes. but it helped knowing that Frances green-lit the entire thing.
I read Heavier Than Heaven. Montage goes much deeper than just facts about the rise and fall of Kurt.

If you're interested then there was a host of musicians who recorded covers of Blind Melon songs as part of the Kickstarter. Brian Fallon covered 'Mouthful of Cavities' which is one of my favourite songs.
The film will be compiled from interviews, Danny's footage, but mainly Shannon's footage which wasn't made available for 'Lettters'. It's almost his story rather than a story about him. Some of the footage is really interesting.
There is a team of people working on it and I get emails from them with updates on how the film production is going.
My reward is one of Danny's books of photos signed to me with some other personal annotations I believe. The book includes photos of PJ which will be cool. I think you can buy the book on his website but this is a special 'version'
2012 - Manchester i & ii, Berlin i & ii, Stockholm. 2014 - Amsterdam i & ii, Trieste, Vienna, Berlin, Leeds, Milton Keynes.
2016 - Boston Fenway i & ii, 2018 - Amsterdam i & ii, Pinkpop, London i & ii, Padova, Krakow, Barcelona, Seattle i & ii.
I honestly recommend you start just by playing their first album on loop if you're trying to get in to them. It took me from the time I was 12 (in 92) to about the time I was 22 to really appreciate it. Now at 35 I think I am just starting to completely "get it". The music is complex as fuck. Almost everything in mixolydian and most songs in split keys as well. Once you digest it, then hit up the live stuff. THEN hit up Soup, since it is even more challenging than the first album.
