underappreciated bands...

I love this song, it's unfortunate they weren't as popular as they should have been, check out this song.

i think a day to remember should be alot bigger then they are right now.

Theres way to many bands that don't get any attention and you got shitty bands out there making a killing off the same recycled bullshit.

Blind Melon was YEARS ahead of their time, had they come out today they would be one of the most popular bands in this time, to me... they're masters.

Also... my add to the thread, The Redneck Manifesto... amazing band, no lyrics, just insane relaxing jams.

Blind melon is pretty dope, and that is one of my favorite songs of theirs, but I wouldnt exactly call them underappreciated. Maybe their last two studio albums and the one they did with the new singer which wasnt that bad actually.

And a great underappreciated band in my opinion, Ataxia, along with most of John Frusciante's solo work.

Blind Melon is my absolute FAVORITE band of all time. They're the band that gets rotation in my CD player more than any other. I saw them four times during their short lived reunion. It wasn't Shannon, I know, but Travis was good. He just turned out to be an asshole. Shannon was truly amazing but the magic the other guys had on stage together was very apparent when I saw them. I also had the pleasure of meeting the guys several times. They were extremely nice and it was obvious they were grateful to playing again.

If you're a fan, I would suggest reading "A Devil on One Shoulder and an Angel on The Other: the Story of Shannon Hoon and Blind Melon." I'm about a third of the way through it and it is really good so far. It's the story of the band told by interviews that were compiled and put in chronological order.

+rep for a thread about Melon.

Man Man is underrated

He reminds me a lot of hendrix for some reason, just that type of artist i guess? completely unique, not manufactured shit like nickleback you know?

He was a very unique person that was full of talent and passion for music. To this day, Blind Melon fans come from all over the world to Shannon's home town where he's buried every year on the last weekend of September, around Shannon's birthday. Do you think if the singer from Nickleback od'ed, people would travel to his grave site nearly 15 years since his death?

Shannon Hoon OD'ed way too early, his career had so much potential. I saw whats left of blind mellon at the langerado music fest last year and I was very impressed with the band.

I think the nickleback fanboys would dig him up, i don't get the music industry. some people are just easily entertained i guess. I love blind melons cover of the pusher.

Nickelback sucks! The lead singer sounds constipated in every song and looks like a fruit with that stupid perm.
