BLIND MELON Revisited On Hits/Live Sets - July 14, 2005

Greg Prato of Billboard.com is reporting that BLIND MELON will be the subject of a "Best of" CD and a live DVD this fall via Capitol/EMI Music Catalog Marketing, and will also issue a previously unreleased concert recording to digital download services. The projects will be available Sept. 27, less than a month shy of the 10-year-anniversary of BLIND MELON vocalist Shannon Hoon's death from a drug overdose.

The 19-track "Tones of Home: The Best of Blind Melon" will also be available in a limited-edition with a DVD featuring six music videos and a live performance of the group's biggest hit, "No Rain". According to guitarist Roger Stevens, its release was inspired by higher-than-expected sales for the 2002 compilation "Classic Masters".

"That exceeded [the label's] expectations of what they thought it was going to do," he tells Billboard.com. "They sold through [the pressing] — it's not that widely available anymore, so they're going to re-do it and make it better."

	COMMENT \| Not metal, but.. posted by : NotAmerican 7/14/2005 4:17:29 PM

	Blind Melon were not metal, so i have no clue what the hell this is doing on here. That being said, Hoon was a total jerk when he was on substances, but he was a brilliant songwriter and a great singer. Unfortunately the drugs got the best of him, but the 3 albums the band put out (2 before his death and 1 after) are truely great and still play regularly in my house.

	COMMENT \| WHERE DOES BLABBERMOUTH CLAIM TO BE A METAL SITE posted by : AMIGOINGTOHAVETOCHOKEABITCH? 7/14/2005 4:24:37 PM

	NOWHERE...THANK YOU.

	COMMENT \| No, they weren't metal... posted by : The Krusher 7/14/2005 4:24:45 PM

	...but they were a great band. I was fortunate enough to have seen them open for Lenny Kravitz back in '94 at the Tower in Philly. Great show.

	Even if it was the one hit, they're still better than Hoobastank but not by that much.

	COMMENT \| BLIND MELON WAS ONE-OF-A-KIND posted by : T-Boner.com 7/14/2005 5:42:47 PM

	There will never be another ... File them right under The Doors! HOON= GOD

	COMMENT \| Great band posted by : dumptruck 7/14/2005 6:14:29 PM

	Hoon had some of the best rock vocals in recent memory. I wonder if the rest of the guys continue to play-they were incredible.

	COMMENT \| the space lord posted by : yank 7/14/2005 7:27:15 PM

	blind melon should not be compared to hoobastank. hoobastank is lame. blind melon is the real deal.

	COMMENT \| ^^^ posted by : dumptruck 7/14/2005 8:17:59 PM

	I always thought if Hoon was still alive when Velvet Revolver was looking for a vocalist that he'd be a perfect candidate. Wishful thinking but...

	COMMENT \| LOVE THE HOONSTER posted by : T-Boner.com 7/14/2005 8:44:28 PM

	Awesome that today BM makes a bori/blab thread. Yeah, Axl n' Hoon singing together was bad ass. Way before shitty nu-metal and rap metal!! The good ol days = If only music was this good now!! ONCE MORE FOR YOUR MIND... HOON= GOD
