I am way behind but i just recently fell in love with them and they are definetly one of my favorite and i think always will be, they are amazing!!! Mouthfull of Cavities, Walk, pretty much the whole Soup album, is the best thing that has happened to me in a while...Any other Melon heads out there???
How much difference does it make ?

    I am in love with Blind Melon. Their music is incredible. The Woodstock footage of "Soup" is chilling.

    I feel like the loss of Shannon Hoon took away more amazing music from the world than did the loss of Kurt Cobain...

    I would complain if this was the 3rd Nickelback thread this week, but Blind Melon deserves as many threads as possible

    I strongly recommend watching the "Letters from a Porcupine" DVD. One of the best music documentaries that I've seen.

    I would have to say the two songs that hooked me were Walk and Mouthfull of Cavities, but that is just two of the many great songs...

    thanks for the feed back i am going to go by the "Letters from a Porcipine" DVD today

    "Jump in the river... let the water soak the sin in my soul"

    what a lyric. I've only got the self-titled album but I need to pick up soup. Soak the sin, sleepyhouse, paper scratcher and mouthfull of cavities are my favourite songs.

    I have a question based on the songs i've heard, im confused on their religious beliefs, yet in interviews and such he mentions god and such, from what i have seen.

    ex: " god damn, god damn that bible pushin man"

    many others just can't think of them right now...

    not that it matters on my outlook on the music, they are still spectacular in all ways ...i am just curious as of what his beliefs were..i mean maybe they are just against people pushing there beliefs on others...not sure??

    Any ideas

    probably a lot like mine..

    considering God might be a real thing,.. but it sure as hell aint the bible if it is.

    fuck the bible.

    God on the other hand... who knows?

    btw, recommended songs.. EVERYTHING..

    but some of my personal favorites are..

    Galaxie
    Sleepyhouse
    Change
    Mouthful of Cavaties
    St. Andrew's Fall
    Walk
    Toes Across the Floor
    Soup
    Paper Scratcher
    Drive

    every single song the band did was amazing..

    Nico is a great, great album - Soul One and Soup are amazing songs. I think they would have easily been one of the biggest bands in the world if Shannon was still here.

    I'll toss my support out there for the purchase of Letters From a Porcupine... very good DVD. I also like Nico a lot. Better than Soup, perhaps.

    actually, yeah. better than Soup.

    that's actually a steppenwolf cover. it's not so much about religion as it is about "pushers"... people who try to force their lifestyle upon you, be it evangelical christians or drug dealers.

    nahhhhh..

    Nico is one of the greatest b-side records of all time, but Soup is just incredible.

    Better than lost dogs..

    hmm.. yeah. :)

    just thought i'd join in and say how much i miss blind melon....

    was so lucky to see them 3 times in concert and pretty much know the words to every song. nothing like putting on one of their cd's and jamming out driving in your car on a sunny day.

    i love Letters from a Porcupine
    i also just saw they put out a live DVD and CD recently that i need to get!
    restless souls, enjoy your youth
