Blind Melon "Change" live on MTV's Most Wanted 1993 

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?!

90s were amazing for rock music and truly a unique decade.

His vocal performance in this is mind-blowing

The hardest part is knowing you have to change, but not being able to do it. Life is hard

One of top best singers, musicians /songwriters, performers of his generation and the grunge movement but yet so underrated and unappreciated

He is definitely one of my favorite singers and bands. We definitely lost him way to young. RIP Shannon

Shannon Hoon was a natural. What a voice. My God, to what heights would he have taken Blind Melon?

When Music still came from the Soul

Happy birthday Shannon ! Gone way way too soon ❤

My favourite band, completely underrated.

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...

One time, no more. That's how many times I was Blessed by seeing this band perform. We named our 2nd child Shannon for this man. His charisma, stage presence, magnetism, voice, and aura are missed, here in this realm, I do know that.

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

Just love his voice ♥️ so sorry he left too soon 😢

miss these guyz... such a great great band!.. most exccelent video ..!!.. well done!

These guys were so sycronizd. Long live the melon. Memories of what was

Absolutely beautiful

The words on his tombstone are the lyrics of this song and he never knew that this moment in his life is the one people remember him by.

Another beautiful song that has been in my mind forever. Indiana and music misses shannon!

Love his voice and the mandolin was fabulous. The band members are equally talented- they created such a beautiful sound together.

Often think about this band and like to wonder how they'd sound today in 2024?

I’m gonna write my words on the face of today ♥️

The legendary rockstar shanon hoon Forever in my heart!!!!!!!

2 guitarras, 1 bajo, 1 mandolina, 1 bateria y 1 interpretacion legendaria de change = MAGIA!!!!!!!!

Blind Melon is one of my favorite albums of all time. Start to finish.

Beautiful! You’ll never be forgotten, Shannon. 💫

we still miss you shannon...

Man they are so 1960's performing in the 90's Love these guy's RIP Brother Hoon you are still missed here in the 2020's

I wish you were still here, Shannon.

Best version of this song by far,

I for almost 30 yrs thought the band was called Blind Lemon hahaha. Love this version btw great upload.

Holy shit this is the version I've always listened to on mp3. I had no idea there was a video.

I don't know if I'll survive this song..The best voice, songwriter. I can feel all the grunge alive

You are the most beautiful angel in all of eternity

I love how he always had so many different variations lyrically for songs and they all slayed.

Keep on Dreaming 🌟💫✨

God Bless Beautiful soul ... people and music.

Un orgasmo esta cancion ! ❤

the music flows, the reverberations resonates deep inside. RIP Shannon Hoon

Miss you Shannon. Miss you Blind Melon.

Oh man I’ve missed this song. It’s been too long.

I miss Blind Melon so much. Grew up with them

Life is short, uncomfortable changes might be what we need.

🤘

I don't feel the sun's coming out today It's staying in now, it's gonna find another way yeah As I sit here in this misery I don't Think I'll ever no See the sun from here And oh as I fade away Some people will say, yeah They'll all look at me and they'll say "Hey, look at him" I'll never live that way And that's ok Just afraid to change When you feel life ain't worth living You've got to stand up, and Take a look around, look up way to the sky, hell yeah And when your deepest thoughts are broken Keep on dreamin' boy, when you stop dreamin' it's time to die And I don't want to die And as we all play parts of tomorrow Some ways we'll work, and other ways we'll play, yeah But I know we can't all stay here forever So I'm gonna write my words on the face of today And then they'll paint it Give me a fantasy, you gotta play me a tune One that can make us all happy Give me the days to take us down from these blues Sing a song, baby play a guitar Baby make it snappy yeah You are the one who can make us all happy Why do it baby, no you bring out the tears Don't be so sad, if you were in my new head Right now, known you for all of these years And oh as I fade away They'll all look at me and say Yeah they'll look at me and say "Hey look at him, and where he is these days?" When life is hard you have to change When life is hard you have to change Mmm

roge killed it!!

1 de las mejores voces de la música..

it's gonna find another way....

Wow... just like artists nowadays, with no sound effects!!! Yeah, right!? LOL --- This was back then when there was real talent!
