Not only did Brad Smith write a generation-defining song in "No Rain" but he also works wonders with a hammer and nails. His knowledge of construction & acoustics is both fascinating and well-applied to his Studio Wishbone. But before all that he was just a boy from Mississippi, new to LA, busking future hit songs on Venice Beach, eventually forming a band called Blind Melon then Unified Theory, Abandon Jalopy among others. Brad fills in the blanks and tells the rest of the story on success, death, fame, songwriting and the disturbing evolution of the music business over the last 25 years. His genuine insight on major labels, music services, radio, and who's making all the money in the music business is a perspective you must hear...

When he talks about how much talent shannon had and would have gone on to do, I just want to hug that dude. He must think about that every day.

It's nice to hear him speak well of Shannon Hoon. There could be room for some bad feelings there, for opportunities lost, but he seems to have none. Also, every band needs that one person who is the 'star' of the show, and Shannon was definitely that. To sit back and appreciate it takes a lot of maturity, which you don't always find in bands, with everyone wanting the attention for themselves. It is a shame they didn't have more time together.

They were by far one of the most underrated bands from the 90s. People love chalking everything up to "No Rain." However, they often ignore the rest of the first album. Their second album was exceptional. It was genuinely different, quirky, odd, and of immense depth. Their last album was rough, but very good. One could just see the potential of the material had it evolved more naturally. And no, Blind Melon was no grunge. They get bunched with that movement and they didn't have any of the classic characteristics.

Great interview. Brad seems like a really good, quality dude. You can also tell by his body language how hard it is to talk about Shannon's death; he was sitting back comfortably the entire time before the question was asked, then he leans forward, kind of closing himself off, and leaning away from the interviewer, and his right hand starts fidgeting on his left knee. I love hearing the band members give insight into Shannon that I've never heard before. Got a lot of that in this interview.

From what I understand he was like the "dad" of the band and really like Shannon's voice of reason . It hit him the hardest when Shannon died .

Graduated in 97 and was big into Tool, AIC, Soundgarden, etc. I never checked out Blind Melon because I assumed it was all like No Rain. A great song, but not really my style. I saw a RU-vid short of them live about 3 months ago and thought i needed to check them out. Hook, line, and sinker man. What a great band and transcendent talent in Shannon Hoon.

Thanks for posting Darren. Blind Melon is the most under rated band ever! I'm a true melon head and i love the entire band, but since Shannon is no longer with us i am always looking to see new material of him. In this case just insight about him, but it is always sweet to pick up any and all new melon footage. Thank you Brad for sharing your thoughts and feelings on Shannon and Nico. Glad to see your still making music. I am for sure gonna check out your new material.

At the end where he says" i have different versions." It was like listening to blind melon live. Each time you saw them shannon may change lyrics or the way a song was delivered.

At about 29:25, how sad to hear him speculate about what might have been if Shannon had lived - I mean, how many others have pointlessly died from drugs. I particularly think of Hendrix, and the incredible solo career and records he would have made. Thing is, no one starts taking drugs and thinks they can't handle it, because, at first, it's just about having fun. Damn!
