Shannon Hoon, lead singer of the band Blind Melon, passed away in New Orleans at the age of 28.    He was an incredibly talented singer, writer and a sweet and kind person. He left behind his long time girlfriend, Lisa, his newborn baby, Nico Blue, his mother, Nel Hoon, and tons of family, friends and fans. I just wanted to take the time to mention this day and to remember all that Shannon gave in his short life. Blind Melon reunited this year with new singer Travis Warren (who does Shannon HUGE justice) and are touring right now as well as making a new album. Shannon's daughter, Nico, sang a few of her daddy's songs at the Chicago show a few days ago. It's a bit surreal. Anyways, for those who care, take a minute to remember Shannon Hoon. |

All that is going to happen is flaming and people not paying attention to the point of the thread. I am BEGGING everyone who enters this thread to REMEMBER Shannon in a POSITIVE light. I don't want this thread locked. |

I think I saw his last concert in Sacramento opening for Plant and Page.
Didn't know too much about them. I think the video ruined that song.

I am BEGGING everyone who enters this thread to REMEMBER Shannon in a POSITIVE light. I don't want this thread locked. He was positive about him. He said he was awesome. I know, but the part where he said "He brought it on himself" could be taken negatively and start a flame war. I just wanted to avoid any problems. I've seen a lot of thread get locked because of flaming and this one is rather special to me so I don't want it locked. I apologize if I came off mean, Smurf, that wasn't the intention. |

It's not an issue.
If someone posted "he brought it on himself" and nothing else then there would be an issue.

RIP, may he have a kickass jam session with kurt, dimebag, and all my other favorite rockers. (even though dimebag and Hoon are two way different styles)

A lafayette,Indiana guy. I used to live there. As did I, about a year after he died. I actually knew some people that went to school with him. They said that he was a pretty good guy, as far as they knew him. |
