    Shannon Hoon was the link between 90s grunge and 60s psychedelic rock. That connection was severed when he died and nobody ever really reestablished it.

    People write a lot about the 90's singers that passed away like Cobain, Staley, Cornell or Weiland, and rightfully so. However Hoon deserves to be mentioned up there with the others... RIP

      @ you missed his point he never said he was as good as The Grunge singers he just got mad and he passed on in the 90s they both are great singers just different styles of music it's all your opinion of what kind of music you like some people would hate our style of music and say that we suck but that's their opinion I personally love Grunge and all of the singers just thought you might want to know he's not saying that he is as good as your favorite singer just that he passed on in the 90s and should be remembered

    In '92 I was tending bar late on a Sunday night @ Daddy Warbux in Ybor City, Tampa. Textbook dive bar, nothin' happenin'. "Auto" comes in and asks if I wanna see a band after I close, says his buddy's workin' the door and we can get in for free. I'm in. So we go to the pool 'n' pub, stroll in and the place is EMPTY. It's an old theater with the seats removed and the floor's slanted so all the tables wobble. there's like 5 or 6 people and this band starts playing. They play a whole set without a word because there is no crowd to acknowledge. I'm thinkin,' these guys are pretty good, where's the fans? A few weeks go by and I hear "No Rain" on the radio and the video's a huge hit on Mtv. I instantly recognize the song and surmise that these guys were readying themselves for a tour. Close brush with greatness.

Many people may even have watched them perform live, bought their memorabilia and therefore have been slightly upset when he died at such a young age. As such, those same people may have looked up videos of Blind Melon playing on TH-cam and written melancholy, wistful comments about Shannon Hoon. Stay safe, wherever you are.

      tehf00n totally feeling same thing!!! Such a good “trippy” part of my life, my friends dad had 20+ acres in the mountains here in Utah called El-Rancho-Gaviota and the cabin had a big stage built off the side of it and a generator to power all the equipment. All our homies were in bands so once or twice a month we would have a big “ol” rager (kegger) with like 10-15 bands playing all weekend, and they one of our local head shop owners would set up his R.V. With a table w/ a huge bag of shrooms, super kind bud, pipes bongs etc... and another dude we called “Circus” who was a super dead head from the 60’s and always had a bible of the strongest cleanest acid. And after 2-3 a.m. I would dj and would blast this or mouth full of cavities, galaxy and like 40-60 people who were tripping would lay along the cliff and stare up at the crystal clear sky as the music would echo through the canyon. By far the best years of my life!!!! Damn I miss the 90’s !!!!! We still have a blast up there but we’re all older now and not as crazy 😝 but damn what a fucking great time in our lives!!!!!!!👽🥴🤯🥳🤪🎸🥁🎤🎼🎹🎸🌒oh and Pink Floyd!!!🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓

    Gosh, I miss that beautiful voice, that smile, that face. 😢💕 I sometimes think about what Shannon would be doing today if he were still alive. I can picture him being a solo singer/songwriter, though still jamming w/ Blind Melon. He’d probably be an activist and philanthropist, too. But most of all, he’d still be the sweet-natured person that he seemed to be, and helping people thru his incredible talent.
