remphish1 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Kept on hearing about Blind Melon's album soup over the years. I read the reviews on amazon and it was 98% 5 star reviews! Wow that's crazy. Just gave it a listen and it was interesting....anyone like them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Big fan in the 90's. I actually don't think Soup holds up all that well. I'm still a fan of the self titled album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sonicshoulder Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I could never get into it. I liked but not loved them in the 90's. I read a Shannon Hoon biography a few years ago and it stirred up some memories so I busted my cds back out and jammed some Blind Melon for a few weeks and then back away they went. I must say the book is excellent though imo. He grew up in Lafayette, Indiana and knew Axl Rose who helped Blind Melon get their break. Lots of drugs and infighting....your basic VH1 behind the music with the alternate ending where they don't get back together and make a shitty album. From the book Hoon was a sweetheart of a guy and crazy talented at whatever he did....just couldn't kick the smack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Except that they did in 2008. I didn't like the album, but I went to one of the shows (at Metro) and it was a nostalgic blast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Saw them as an opener in 92. Decent show. Nothing particularly memorable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
