I wish we had music like this nowadays

[@ronnyslovelywife]

He's gorgeous, and has one of the most prettiest voices ever. What a shame he's not with us anymore. Rip Shannon Hoon

[@BpQueen]

I'm in love with his voice, and face, smiling.

[@kikmedown]

he makes it look so effortless. awesome vocals. and AWesome guitar solo.

[@HeellFlanagan]

That is such a good folk indie music rocking out the world.

[@Brotherh00d]

Shannon Looks happy,and he seems to enjoy singing this song very much...Hope he is happy up there...R.I.P-S.H

[@PTroubadour]

I also love Paper Scratcher from this session. Early 90s music was my first love

[@scocer]

This song was on The O.C.. Very good!

[@turbohutton23]

[@emp0rt]

Fantastic!

[@CSHARDCORELIFE]

great song!!!!

[@Gaetano_Gasp]

amazing first 2 minutes, another planet..the rest is of course a beauty

[@redhed36]

Almost heart wrenching to watch, knowing the tragic waste of his life. Every time he sang this he made it look like the first time, never just going thru the motions. So frinkin unfair..

[@Janeandhound]

great song and like this particular upload; thanks! to me .. Shannon Hoon sounds like himself; that's it. never be another, and no one else he's like or like him. just my opinion.

[@WhyGo79]

Awesome version Shannon is deeply missed!

[@CabooseBabyshit]

i love the way he says rips

[@traceyeco]

God I miss him.....

[@nitwith1]

absolutly love it

[@handycows]

[@rickm9001]

Gone too soon.... R.I.P. Shannon ❤

[@gumzy33]

[@donnquix0te]

I wouldn't say it kills the talent, it kills the artist

[@theoriginalMaxman2]

[@D0W0K0]

i love first version !! and comes in NICO cd i love it too but anyway my favorite one is the happy happy no rain song :P miss shannon

[@BAZINHOUSE]

brilliant tune bit of gomez & led zepplin

[@jfk7373]

live forever Shannon Hoon

[@nonnynay]

no doubt, shannon hoon was one of the greatest vocalists, but more importantly one of the greatest songwriters. blind melon were pretty much the only band with that kind sound, it just so happens the best always seem to die young

[@josheaton345]

Damn this is awesome!

[@sjaakuitjulianadorp]

I haven't seen this for at least 10 years, must have it on videotape somewhere I'm again sad shannon didn't make it

[@rockhurstalum09]

VERY COOOOL

[@michaeljamesmccabe]

Very cool alternate version!

[@seyes13]

"ho ho ho, merry christmas". He does.

[@naganeen0]

hohohoho (merry christmas) love shannon hoon miss the voice

[@JerryKantrell]

great video. Sorry for butting in. :)

[@blindlemon114]

great!!

[@Tommy666Slayer]

R.I.P. Shannon

[@monkeybomb888]

i dig the acoustic jam..........MB

[@afelipe90]

this is what happens when five geniuses gather to make music!

[@garybewsy]

To anyone out there who has been inspired by Shannon Hoon like so many have this is to you: I am filming a documentary this summer. I am taking a road trip from GA to Indiana and driving to Shannon's Grave to pay tribute. Along the way he will be remembered and celebrated. I want to hold a memorial for him there and I amstill scheduling dates. If anyone out there wants to attend contact me by sending me a message. Long live Melon!

[@Hibai20]

RIP Shannon

[@jamietrhcp17]

i don't really know what anyone's talking about... shannon definately sounds incredible

[@max465t]

2:54, ho ho ho, merry chistmas!

[@guitarplayer30001]

A cross between Tim Schmidt, randy meisner, and gueddy lee

[@Homer6767]

nice.

[@cautionTosser]

Actually, you're both right. Heroin was his drug of choice, but he was mostly an opportunist. He did whatever was available. During a tour relapse, he succumbed to a cocaine overdose.

[@vassnianizama]

he looks so happy .. i dont understand why he ended up his life like that .. its not fair... its not sane..

[@nonnynay]

damn straight, i can no longer watch music channels now unless the current show is "non stop nirvana". it used to be about great music, whether it was grunge (cobain), reggae (nowell)or rap (tupac) wheras now the radio is just filled with the current fad, it dosn't matter about quality now it's just how marketable the image is.

[@charlyla]

igualmente hablo de la intro!. los arreglos de los punteos estan muy buenos!.

[@PFCArdoMelnikov]

yeah i think he does

[@Farrellaka4real]

He clearly says it.

[@PietRock85]

vet hoor :D

[@Zombywoof92553]

awesome voice it wont last long the way he sings tho!

[@Subl1me88]

I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO SAVE ME!

[@Sanctuary77]

though shannon is dead the rest of blind melon with a new singer still tour

[@DeeB442]

does anybody know where to get tabs for the beginning of the song?

[@fastbreak055]

He sounds like Robert Plant at the beginning

[@Jedibuds87]

fuckin awesome

[@jayseanNO9]

i think you're just reading it wrong. the comment was definatly not proper sentance structure, but its like someone speaking. i don't know, i just read it, and it makes since. and then i read what you replied. this probably sounds broken to you too? god bless Shannon

[@Jamesdhudson92]

you probably didn't listen past 1:45 thats where they do the real song

[@theoriginalMaxman2]

@IwotchVid3oz watch the video, it'll make sense. He replaces the lyric "just want someone to say to me, oh oh oh oh" with "ho ho ho ho MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

[@alow99]

my husband works for peterbilt.

[@glassfone]

What a fucking voice

[@Farrellaka4real]

LOL. I think i can admit to that and not burn in hell. YES! Shannon is GOD HAHAHAHAHA. haha Awesome. Peace!

[@benaaroncovers5055]

you make it sound like a bad thing

[@jeddyhi]

@jane4mary Exactly what I was thinking.

[@clwacdc]

Wow...the origonal kicks this one's ass.

[@RolandoCappas]

I wish someone had saved him.

[@wwfeowner]

Dude, i'm just going by what i read on wikipedia

[@henryharle89]

It's just you...Been listening to NY for over 40 years and there is no way they sound the same. Shannon Hoons voice was much better imho and I like NY so it's not a knock on him

[@IwotchVid3oz]

merry christmas?

[@Dogmeng]

pure talent wasted by drugs T_T

[@gblack32]

fuckin its there man

[@Berqy123]

There are a ton of songs way better than this by Blind Melon. Though it is incredible... especially the ripped away version. It just upsets me when people say he died from heroin or "speed balling" I respect Blind Melon to damn much. RIP Shannon! Melon Head For Life!

[@cobainsprodigy]

i would love to meet up. do you have a myspace? if you do message me with a link

[@250honda]

do u mean steven tyler?? cuz i do see how he could sound like him..if he tried;)

[@Earendel84]

It's good until 2:00, then it just gets awesome...

[@JimB667]

Except weed

[@Chefsloveshack08]

calm down dude

[@gblack32]

no curt is he???????????

[@Jamesdhudson92]

your not listening pass 1:55 , thats the song you are used to.

[@Subl1me88]

nobody will ever match the tone of shannon's voice...its just sad.

[@DeeB442]

mother fucking word

[@Jamesdhudson92]

why

[@FWDlol]

I'd say Robert Plant before Neil.

[@Jamesdhudson92]

he ODed on Coke
