    i thought i was on my own with the pearl jam and blind melon worshipping but it appears not reading in the porch how many people want to hear a blind melon cover it appears we are in our plenty...
    so here is a thread to see just how many of us there are,,,

    You are not alone... I LOVE both Pearl Jam and Blind Melon and nothing would make me happier than to see them cover a Blind Melon song, that would be so awesome!!

    Shannon was a great musician and it was sad to see him go that way. RIP

    I attend his vigils whenever I have the chance... he make mistakes in life hence he is no longer with us but his music still lives among us.

    Wasn't Shannon Axl's cousin? I think I read that somewhere.


    No they werent, they were both from Indiana and he met Axl when he moved to LA and Axl gave him a hand to get started and that's when he ended up in the Dont Cry video ...

    I love Shannon on that video ...

    Watched the VH1 behind the music on Blind Melon on Wednesday and got all chocked up watching it. I love Letters from a Porcupine. I got to see them a week before he died. Their music helped change my life for the better as does Pearl Jam's I will be at the Vegas Show and the two Gorge shows screaming my lungs out for them to cover a Blind Melon song, maybe Eddie could throw in a tag of Lemonade at the end of Betterman, too much too much too much lemonade! Rarities I have found are Brittle little baby, No bidness, 60 Medley, Frosting a cake, Wooh G.O.D., untitled in C, Ever had the feeling, and I love the song they did for the Zepplin Tribute Out on the Tiles. And of course three is the magic number is just great. Glad I can still see Pearl Jam, miss the hell out of seeing Blind Melon, Drugs do suck!

    Soup is phenomenal. One of the best albums EVER! My favorite songs are Galaxy, Walk, Saint Andrew's Fall, Vernie, and Mouthful of Cavities. The whole album rules...Not one bad second on that album. I have it on vinyl too. And if your cd player is capable, there is a hidden track BEFORE Galaxy. Now that's a hidden track. It is the vocals to New Life played backwards over an acoustic jam. Way cool!


    How do you get it to play? They mentioned the hidden track when I saw them, but I have never been able to get it to work??????????? Please Help.

    I just got their self titled album and soup, and I have to say, i'm blown away. They really are like nothing i've heard before.

    I miss this band very much so.... I wish I could have heard them live. Oh well this is why people need to stay away from drugs.

    RIP Shannon.
    RIP Tender Trio

    You say that, but the music wouldn't have been as good. Most great music is written on drugs -> The Beatles, Led Zepplin, The Doors, Sublime, Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, etc.
