2024 and still one of my favourite songs. Commenting on this version as I remember this being the first time I heard it and thought 😮😮😮😮😮😮. Top Song. I wonder if in 30 years time kids will stumble across a chart hit from today and think, wow still good all these years later 🤔🤔
I was lucky to get tickets to this Midnight Soecial taping at NBC. All eyes and ears were fixed on that stage, when they sang American Girl….. well I’ll never forget it. Thanks Tom and the Heartbreakers.❤
I first heard these guys around Christmas of '92 when I visited an old but good friend whom I rarely saw. As we talked and caught up, I eventually noticed the music he had playing in the background, and soon, I was transfixed by it. I stopped the conversation with, "Dude, what IS this music we're listening to?" He pulled out the CD case and said it was some CD he picked in the bargin-bin at Strawberries. The intertwining of the two guitars was hypnotic. The drums were grunge-like, but oftentimes, I could not tell which guitar was supposed to be the lead and which was the rhythm, and the bass was more melodic than most... and that voice! Forget it! This was a departure from the grunge sound to which I had become accustomed. I was fascinated and ended up buying my own copy and played it pretty much non-stop for several months. Eventually, the radio started playing it and I was elated that the music scene had seemingly noticed a great and very creative band. It still holds up 30 years later. Has it REALLY been that long?!
The band in general was very tight ! Bass was grateful dead like , guitars were kind a solid d of its own kind of like the stones , drums grunge and that voice ! (I swear Janis Joplin came back as Shannon )
First time seeing this clip. Resolution isn't great, but it's fun to see Tom and Mike reacting to Derek Trucks' jaw-dropping solo. Mike Campbell is no slouch at slide, but you can see him studying what Derek is doing. At the end, Tom goes over to Derek, pats him on the back and they exchange a few words. A ton of legendary talent on that stage.
Sitting alone @ home; and, this came on. I'm a musician/ singer-songwriter; @ a glance, I knew these kids were the real deal or just, wannabes. I was blew away; and, will never forget this moment. Blindmelon gave me hope, when, I had serious blues going. Thank you guys...
I love Shannon but I believe the BAND was incredible. They all grew together and brought out the best in each other. Their dynamic made him incredible. Blind Melon was a band, all so great
i'll address the elephant in the room. what happened to Mtv ? Who thought that Mtv in the 80;s and 90's was sub - par and needed to be overhauled to the piss and shit show that it has become ??
Gracias al compa que me puso esta canción, el ya dejo de soñar y paso al más allá, gracias a esta canción años más tarde logré salir de muchas cosas que casi acaban mi vida , gracias compa , gracias shannon por esta gran pieza de arte y vida !!!!
