Twenty five years...yet still feels like yesterday. We miss you Shannon.

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

So weird. 25 years? Doesn't seem possible. But still to this day, still my favorite band. Travis, thanks for helping my favorite band move on making beautiful music.

[@Don.Infinito]

And U young lady, surely you was of 5 years old on those days, ma'am 😊.

[@andresP.A]

Blind melon's fans miss to Shannon until today.. was the best singer in 90's.

[@AetherIdol]

That was a really nice tribute. I never met Shannon but I always felt he was someone very special. My condolences to everyone still missing him now and always. I can't believe 25 years have passed...

[@brianmendenhall8387]

Travis, bravo brother! Loved, loved, loved everything you said. Miss him dearly, he was a special soul. Thank you for stepping in and your acoustic tribute was incredible! God bless you brother

[@vanhopecomedy]

I listened to Skinned the other day, lots of memories of Shannon and Blind Melon.

[@michaelpal5807]

Travis you look So Healthy. Thank you for keeping Shannon's memory alive. U do a great job in Blind Melon keep up the Great Work. ❤

[@MaynardOwns]

Thought I was the only one to notice.

[@pistolpete5582]

That was awesome brother.. thank you. I met you not too long after you got that tattoo. I remember you would dedicate that song to Shannon every time you guys played it.. still one of my 00-metro faves.. love and miss you guys. Rock on brother

[@Iambush78]

Getting to show my dad his music was best day ever

[@cavalryscout8720]

Your dad??

[@jasonbrinker788]

I still love blind melon. Fan since 92. Keep on truckin...

[@RhoadsToOzzBand]

Would be nice to hear a studio recording of that song Travis !!! Tell the guys. - God Bless Shannon & his family.

[@sonnydaze7608]

I miss hanging out with his mother and Vern every year (I could make it). That's the closest I'll ever get to the man, but dammit, I met Vernie. And sometimes, she'd play a mean harp along with us. I'm sure her and Shannon are off jamming, somewhere.

[@torna10168]

How many people out there to see this one...when RIP. Shannon have gone, and now to remembering for him self... I ❤️ You, and you still life forever in my heart, ur Music style one of spirit anergy ... Thanks you 🤚✌️🤘

[@danielapereira7935]

I loved the way Travis talked about Shannon and the song he made too. Thank you for bringing BM back, my favorite band ever. Shannon never forgotten and always missed!

[@angelineparsons7250]

It NEVER GETS OLD! Darn Right Man✌

[@StONed-mb1iv]

And I haven't stopped listening 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 to Blind melon....

[@deadpoinsettia]

Nice. And cool tune.

[@elmarbeau]

Congratulations Warren!, You are my same age you were born in January I was born in August 1980. You are making it great with the band. our generation enjoyed that band and that music they were our heroes and our stars and after more than 10 years you were able to be the new voice of Blind Melon. Again many Congratulations!

[@noahhenson1669]

Sweet little tune! Travis T, never underestimate your own songwriting skills. They are massive.

[@dadalovesshannon4103]

Your On The Path That Was Meant For You To Be On...God Bless💗Agape'!

[@dukethunder214]

Hey Travis, amazing story, thank you for sharing man, I thought the same thing hearing blind melon for the first time, I grew up in a rez, in northwestern ontario canada, music was sometimes all I had in most cases, I'm glad blind melon are still around, thanks for everything Travis, great story great video, please have a good day...

[@treylyde999]

Well done

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

Thanks so much for this, Travis

[@ziggybaker3446]

Incredible song, Travis. Beautifully written. Thanks for sharing.

[@vic20adamant2]

Great tribute Travis 💕

[@joshrohricht4948]

Ty for continuing his great work

[@freebirdmcchester8257]

That's a bad ass groove! I saw the Sacramento 95 show with Shannon and have a couple buddies who are still pissed they didn't go with me. I remember exactly where I was when I heard he passed. Like the challenger space shuttle. something you never forget.

[@warborn_inc.]

Great track T...definitely has that Tool style circular progression..Adam Jones would be proud....and of course Shannon. I was lucky enough to have seen Shannon a dozen times and met him a handful of times when he was living in Chicago. I still remember exactly where I was when I heard about his passing...was (and still is) crushing news...he was a one ofba kind. Keep the flame lit in his honor and of course keep making great music. Cheers

[@bezziano57]

Amazing Blind Melon. RIP Shannon. Saw you in 95 at Reading Festival. A few months before you moved upstairs! One of the best bands ever!!

[@MetaphysicalMusicMaven]

I never met Shannon either, but his music moved me, just as it did all of his fans. One of a kind. And I know his Spirit lives on.

[@corwintompson9152]

Love it

[@Neufertful]

Awesome song!

[@dappergreens4555]

I was at that show in Dallas. Deep Ellum Live was the venue. Was amazing. Two nights later, he was gone.

[@lisandroarrondo2830]

amazing guitar skills

You look so good travis.Shanon wanted what u have now.Sobriety spiritual happiness.Shanon gave me the same things he gave you.The chance of true joy.that voice has been passed to you.i tolled friends the same thing listen to the whole album.im43.

[@jocilackey6114]

Great song.Holy ghost.

[@s.g.5037]

Travis, thank you a million times over for keeping the dream alive. Your work with the remaining members is phenomenal. A lot of what you said in the preamble to playing in this video rang so true for me. All the best lad, Love and Peace.

[@therodgodproject9942]

I have a strange habit when I listen to Blind Melon, I listen to the 3 studio albums ' Debut 1992' ' Soup 1995' 'Nico 1996' all in a row, and sometimes after listening to these 3 albums I still put on ''Live at the Metro' '.. Im a sick person when iy comes to music because everyday I listen to 8 to 10 albums, I never read a book in my life, I dont watch tv and I dont listen to the radio , ONLY MY MUSIC. Hope to see u guys next year, im planning to go to the gathering to meet u guys in 2025 .. it will be 30 years since he's gone. greetings from Portugal

[@athomasaaron]

Thank you Travis and BM. My favorites always. This would be amazing on a 12 string and the bridge sounds like Metroid. Hopefully it ends up on the new album in a new way.

[@SlyShippy]

Wow that's true about 12 string. IDK Metroid lol

[@PlanetJ32]

My goodness..I feel old. 25yrs?? I was around 19-20yrd old when I first came across Blind Melon..and I instantly fell in love! Travis,Wishing Well was the first song I heard you sing with the band and after I heard it..I KNEW they had picked the right guy to lead the band into the future. I hope you and the rest of the band are ok today..I know it has to be a hard day..especially for he rest of the band. sending you all love from North Mississippi. xoxo

[@jasonsmith2507]

25 Wow how time flies by. I just want to say thank you for respecting him the way you do. Shannon has pulled me through all the ruff times in my life and has been an inspiration to me. Peace and Love - Shannon I miss you and Travis keep up the great work! Hey can you hear the cats!!

[@stephensasso663]

Thank you Travis,

[@EFBald]

Great Stuff!!!

[@kellymahoney8372]

Travis, I remember you teaching me Mouthful of cavities in 1996 In Tamara and Jennys apartment in Atown. You had so much passion for their music and were such a devoted fan. (You already had the tattoo on your back of Shannons face) I miss those days and thank you for turning me on to one of my favorites of all times!!

[@joshrohricht4948]

That was amazing travis

[@djilly75]

Wow bro amazing

[@jarrodsorensen2890]

Bill Hicks on the monitor in the background? Nice...✌

[@Bob-ug8by]

Travis your awesome man.

[@carlosvinent9345]

Rest in peace dear Shannon.

[@northmanfishing7795]

Shannon changed my life. And Blind Melon gave me an identity different from all the other kids back then.

[@stat_nine]

Came across this today. Good to see you are well! 👍🤘

[@juanjodelatorre]

Man, SUPERB ❤️

[@matchingmemory1774]

One thing I would like to have from the Shannon Hoon days of Blind Melon is a full DVD and/or download release of the 1994 Woodstock performance, where I can then watch it in high quality whenever I want. That would be awesome, as it was some of their best live work from those days. Cheers.

[@caliblue2]

I miss my melon soo much💜 I just saw this so many emotions the strongest I totality identify with Shannon being your impetus he sure has charged me ever since I first sang No Rain and the music transcended all lines and all becomes clear💜 I love to see your evolution it’s beautiful and fascinating and appropriate. Yes Timeless and always creating a new way for us to understand we are one. Ha he did that ⚡️

[@KhalDrogo76]

Solid tune

[@shumakerguitarworkssgw9505]

Love it man.. been a huge fan of shannon since the 1st time I heard his voice

[@swankyfuton9272]

Clear up my friend see you soon ❤

[@timandAidan]

That story rings true to me as well. Shannon is the reason I never miss a show of any artist I like. I had a ticket to the last show Blind Melon played in Boston but ended up not going. My biggest regret. But I definitely didn’t miss the Club Hell Providence RI show (the first official Blind Melon show after Shannon’s passing). You totally channeled him that night and we all bawled our eyes out screaming along with you. A small show, but by far, the loudest I had even been to. Thank you Travis for letting his legacy live on and help keep the band going.

[@timandAidan]

Side note for you Travis- after meeting that night in Providence, you and I exchange letters for a while and you ended sending me a whole slew of your own material Solo stuff, Rain Fur Rent, 00-Metro. Amazing stuff! Ever since then, I have always wished for you to bring your solo song “Attack Of The Calm Bomb” to Blind Melon with a release. Seriously one of my all time fave songs

[@jorgeramirezmont3341]

Hi guys greetings from Chile!.. always love the band, since the 90's; Shannon is 4me one of the 2 greatest singer of all time (the other one is Freddy)... i went to see you guys, when you came to south América over 2011, was a lifelong waiting!!¡ great song btw Travis!!!...

[@kimhernandez4323]

I can't believe its been 25 years!!

[@luffzilla01]

Thanks for sharing T. I've always used music as therapy. I hope one day I get to hear a studio version of that song??? It's a killer tune. Looks fun to play aswell.

[@blonde_w_thewind1253]

Bless you babe

[@swankyfuton9272]

[@nicholasschoonbeck6866]

Maynard, Chris Cornell & Shannon, for me. I was about 18/19, my wife at the time bought the first Blind Melon album, because she liked the first single, but when she heard the rest of the album, she decided she wasn't into (should've known then the marriage would fail lol) but I wasn't that into the single, but the rest of the album hooked me & so many of his lyrics were relatable to me & my circle of people.

[@cavalryscout8720]

Dude.. Blind Melon has been one of those, extremely few, bands that have resonated so strongly in my life.. My nephew and I cant meet in person without cranking up some Blind Melon.. ...so I it's cool to hear your perspective..

[@glorifiedng]

I purchased "Blind Melon" on Sept 26, 1996 after my brother loaned me his that was all scratched up, i could only hear 2-3 songs that would play on it and I had not known that Shannon and my mother has the say Birthday of Sept 26th. For me I was elated to hear BM. Then I got Soup and WOW! even though it was not a critical success, I loved it just the same.

[@CharlieRootsMusic]

That riff and instrumental is badass ! damn good song!!!!

[@phillipmccutcheon4937]

I totally fucking dig that song. Thank you Travis........ya goosebumped me from head to toe.

[@angela2496]

I’m talking to myself more I’m talking to myself more I’m talking to my self more!! -2X4 I always sing along to their music at top of lungs I always end up losing my voice because I have a really hard time hitting Shannon’s high notes. I just love that they were like hippie and jazz blues rock, very underrated w/too much focus on no rain. I’m like no; their other music blows no rain out of the water.

[@alexauclair1]

I’m 32 & he is one of my favorite vocalists

[@anthonysantos3629]

Does that's song exist anywhere? Hella good and would be amazing with drums and all the polish.

[@lumbralhd]

Beautyful performance of "down pattern", i have never felt it so much as now, was really intimate, could be a great secret song on the new album.

[@trevorjones5252]

I will never forget... 00 metro

[@readsingleton2844]

I love travis warren. He never tried to be a clone of Shannon not did he try to "replace" him. This guy can play and sing like no other

[@joshrohricht4948]

Rock on bro. Im a 🍈 head. Keep it going

[@brunoahumada8185]

Ideal para la voz a Shannon!!!! Se nota que pensaba en el mientras la componia.

[@shavis001]

And Bill Hicks on the computer screen? Pretty flippin cool!

[@RyneMurray23]

RIP Shannon .

[@monkeysezbegood]

Nice. Real nice. I like it at 1.25x speed too!

[@THISS2023]

Hey Travis Warren where are you??

[@ClintLackey]

Travis is where Shannon wanted to be.Sober and true.Whish Shannon had that chance.Shannon wanted peace.

[@thickerconstrictor9037]

I was 5 when Shannon died. Prob didnt even know it happened. I was young. But over the years, especially recently ive heard so much more. Travis isnt Shannon but no one will be. But he was a GREAT choice imo.

[@Don.Infinito]

Hola. Hi. Is this buddy Travis Warren the same singer of the great song "Wishing Well" of 2008?

[@sinlanson6288]

Remember the day I found out he died... worlds changed a lot since then.

[@joshrohricht4948]

Fuck yes

[@Bmelon7]

♥)

[@brianmutchler3976]

Drives me crazy when people only know.. no rain. Great song and all, but there's so many better ones...like time, mouthful of cavities, mother, soul one...etc....

[@RolandDuke]

Damn been that long fuck.

[@MeLoNHeAd00]

Its weird how a 20yr old shannon could write like a seasoned writer. I think shannon pit more in his 28yrs then most of us in a lifetime .

[@angela2496]

To me the singers voice is also an instrument. So you learned a new instrument :)

[@Don.Infinito]

Thanks Andy Wood, Kurt Cobain, Shannon Hoon, Jeff Buckley, Layne Staley, Elliot Smith, Scott Weiland, Chris Cornell.... Rest in Peace all of them 🙏😢.

[@angela2496]

It was probably trees or the curtain club I am from Dallas wow and yeah you know Shannon Hoon has the high notes down for sure. I don’t feel like he had the vocal range that Maynard does... TOOOOL! Missing them was one of my biggest regrets too and I live in Dallas. I was too busy shooting up heroin so yeah don’t feel bad and get that ticket stub back from your friend

[@negative1310]

You got a rebel yell lip when you sing this

[@bradleyjones2905]

This song is bad A$$. Wow, that's all I can say!

[@graveyard_pixie]

please put harmful belly on spotify i beg you

[@jonathanlapointe6262]

Did Marilyn Manson just get group together with Shannon Hoon as one of the greatest singers of all time? Not trying to be a jerk and I'm not necessarily disagreeing, I was just not expecting that one LOL
