www.A3Network.com. Blind Melon 'Wishing Well'. Blind Melon formed in California in 1989, with members from Indiana, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania. The band signed to Capitol Records in 1991 and recorded an unreleased demo. The band's initial popularity is partially attributed to vocalist Hoon's association with Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose, and Hoon's backing vocals on several Guns N' Roses tracks on 1991's Use Your Illusion album. The band's self-titled debut album, produced by Rick Parashar (Pearl Jam), contained thirteen songs and sold poorly until the "No Rain" single was released in November 1993.

@jacsonrmk i understand you but at the same time this isnt the 80′s….cant change the sings as if they never meant anything….love the rest of the members of melon and they have such great talent but i think they should start another band and create music…..because in my opinion blind melon is and never will be the same….RIP Shannon… Hoon was….IS the greatest…and will forever be missed….
……”turn that frown upside down” are you effing kidding me
Yes I do agree with a lot of people that say that a lead singer isnt the whole band, yeah im glad that they are still making music. I’m going to pretend that I have never heard of blind melon or Shannon……..Yep Travis still gargles balls, i mean seriously he’s got a terrible voice (hey i’m nickelback meets yes) and his lyrics, have you really listened to any of the songs he wrote i mean any of them…i mean seriously any?….no really…..im not kidding
i don’t like videos where they dub in the recorded production music to a live performance
I give them respect doing there thing without Shannon,but come on,change the name.If it weren’t for Shannon,they would have never been named Blind Melon!R.I.P. Shannon!
K …..Love it!!
Very nice!

@GlassSpitter
it ain’t worth the reign of kindo
this new singer was a talented musician and a great leader…. maybe the rest of the band was just jealous for the recognition and protagonism on stage i don’t know i don’t know that shit just happens in a lot of bands that fires singers just because the attention they steal from the hotties
Shannon is the best but this guy is really great.
AMAZING SONG…BLIND MELOOONNN
Shannon is the best but this guy is really great.
AMAZING SONG…BLIND MELOOONN
no dice. nice attempt but this new dude’s got nothing. they shouldve just changed their name like sublime did with the l.b.d.a.s.
LONG LIVE SHANNON!! as much as i respect what they are doing…its like making a sequal to a movie that doesnt need one, and it just ends up putting a stain on the original
@GlassSpitter NO ONE EVER BUT YOUR RIGHT
this dude looks the part but he sounds like Rod Stewart
ik vind dit KEIGOED!!!!!!
I heard he broke his voice trying to sing like Shannon.
Poor fellow, but it isn’t the same without shannon. I heard they were getting Craig Owens to sing for them. I think It’ll butcher Blind Melon, Honestly.
does anyone know why travis quit the band in 2008 or 2009 or thats what i read anyway i know he is not shannon but he is an awesome singer and i listen to this song everyday you should also look up the video of i wonder with him singing live and nico is in the shot also anyway i hope the best for them i have always enjoyed their music and RIP Shannon you are missed thanks for all your great lyrics Danno 615
he has similar voice with shannon. RIP Shannon Hoon. long live blind melons! long live 90′s era!
