Blind Melon - Paper Scratcher (Live on 2 Meter Sessions, 1993)

[@waskozoids]

2 meter sessions; Thank you for keeping Shannon Hoon alive in the way he is best.

[@el34glo59]

Such an underrated singer/songwriter. But the band was so dam tight and talented that idk who's more underrated

[@freekhampsink6131]

The band as a whole haha!

[@otterbot5997]

And they were so young! Shannon was the oldest.

[@fonkypluma6477]

Underrated is the favorite word of millenials...just because they didnt see how big they where in they days

[@dimensionalanalysism]

Blind Melon so underrated.

[@repdale]

Fridays are always fresh days!

Shannon and Blind Melon have been my favorites my whole life since they first came out. I never found anybody who ever came close to taking that crown. I was actually pretty bored with music. Until a year ago when I discovered Ren and his band The Big Push. They aren't anything like Blind Melon or Shannon, except for the fact that the music and lyrics and chemistry just touch me in a way that I hadn't felt in decades. We will never know what music we could have had if Shannon hadn't died. xoxo RIP Shannon.

[@NDemanuele1]

Way too underrated! I bought their self-titled album from a Garage sale! I was blown away how diverse the tracks were and how fricken good they were! Too bad "No Rain" overshadowed their music. The best ones are gone too soon - an unfortunate reality.

[@JamesJones-cx5pk]

I've never seen this. Fun fact The guitar, bass and drummer are all from Mississippi. Every song they play rocks the free world.👍👍

[@adrianamonroy83]

We love you Shannon and we really miss you

[@Christ-is-King-]

So glad I found this gem.

[@Edgepotts01]

Release all the Blind Melon!!

[@Seanybiker]

Amazing band.

[@fionachristie1355]

Shannon,so very sadly missed..

[@marcof1804]

Shannon and Layne Staley were the best fucking voices of the 90s and even to this day

[@brayangomez7227]

My two favorites of all time

[@el34glo59]

Cornell bro. As far as ability. I'll take Cornell and Shannon honestly. Kurt was my favorite artist of the 90s and maybe my favorite of all time. But, vocally, Cornell and Shannon just had ridiculous ability where it came effortlessly. Staley was also a beast obviously. Loved AIC

[@fhrianfz]

@@el34glo59 totally agree

[@ACDZ123]

Lol calm down 😅

[@Kreepyb5]

Again voice of an angel. Speechless! ❤❤❤

[@lex8239]

He makes singing like that look effortless.

[@delaryus2105]

AMAZING VOICE!!!!!

[@cleangoblin2021]

Im a budding musician in my 32 and having a bit more understanding of music really opened my eyes or rather ears to the genius of these guys.

[@johncordes7885]

Gorgeous!!!!

[@realjoecast]

live Blind Mellon reminds me of a cross of Janis Joplin and the Doors with a touch of The Band

[@risboturbide9396]

Totally agree with you 🍻🍻

[@dford145]

This is so perfect

[@BadApple4Life]

Juat throwing thia out there, but i recently found an artist named Dirt Miller and his voice reminds me of Shannon's. Someone else said he sounds like if Layne Staley grew up on bluegrass. He's phenomenal. Just sharing more great music. I miss Shannon 😔

[@MORTICAI22]

He's the best

[@JJBoom1930]

"can you tell me honestly that you want to be me?". Shannon Hoon-

[@rothblack6332]

This is soooooo good

[@hamidmusik7691]

So good, man!

[@cinema4dtutorials822]

great voice , RIP

[@Barabus-yx2cn]

Such a pure artist. Amazing

[@boogiewoogit5597]

What a band. Increisble version of scratcher here. Page, Plant and Jagger all said best of 90s and only band that Zep magic and ability to play such diverse stuff. You can tell those every member has a very wide range of influences. From soft 70s stuff, funk, southern, zeppelin, who, Van Halen, they really stand out among their competition. Unfortunately the mgmt and record co milking the GNR angle really hurt them over time. Stupid shortsighted thing to do, but the greed of the industry was never known for their intellect. I relate w SH so much, from a small puritanical town and love of pharmaceutical adventurism to a degree I either stop or the next helicopter ride ER trip might be my last. Rip SH and his Mother

[@wescraft857]

His momma is still Kickin!!! Momma Nel Hoon! She's super sweet.

[@alejandroponce3315]

Blind Melon Lyrics "Paper Scratcher" Shuffle can to can nobody really gives a damn For every living day I give myself a hand Now I'm scroungy as can be I got all you normals looking at me I'll scratch a hole in my life So everyone can see My mind is a mind that I have come to know And my eyes can't conceive a world that can not grow And Fridays are always fresh days Screamin' at the sun, don't really Know what he has done He don't believe in God and a world as one So he rambles through the weeds And he will sleep beneath the trees On the day I die, Thank God my Soul will be released I've seen all your eyes And I've seen all your faces Can you tell me honestly that you wanna be free? Then look in my eyes I've been lots of places Can you tell me honestly that you'd want to be me Honestly

[@benallmark9671]

Now we’re talking

[@Narohja]

Er erinnert mich an Janis Joplin. Manchmal passt die Stimmfarbe.

My dad drives a train 🚆

[@trenken]

Not a great vocal performance by him at all. Bailing on all the high notes in the verses. Changing the melody into some annoying who knows what. Very shaky throughout. Drugs are bad kids.

[@tratten77]

Yes maybe this song but listen to candy says from same session

[@trenken]

@@sierrapeaks8838 yes im aware. Shannon still sucks on it. Dont do drugs kids.

[@lauraseifert6786]

Will always be one of my favorite bands. RIP Shannon...so much more to give!

[@philjoy6635]

Fuck off sounds great

[@philjoy6635]

What a dick they are awesome
