I ran across this tidbit on a website about Zakk Wylde. I had never known that Shannon and Zakk even knew each other, or lived with each other. Does anyone know anymore about this than what this article says? www.vqpr.com/zakkwyldefaq-body.htm" Throwin' It All Away from Book Of Shadows is about Shannon Hoon from the band Blind Melon. Shannon lived with Zakk a few months before he died of a drug overdose, and they became close friends. Zakk went out on tour with Pride & Glory and then found out about his death, and wrote the song. On the Zakk bootleg called "Shadow Of The East", Zakk clearly says "Now Shannon, you just left me with nothing to say" in the lyrics." -Ryan

Hey Carrie, I actually don't have that song. I was a huge Zakk Wylde fan in my Ozzy days, but I really didn't follow his career after "Pride & Glory". I'll probably be on the lookout for the album that has this song on it. I'll let you know if I find it. I'm sure Amazon has it, as always. . . -Ryan

Yea, I finally grabbed the song... and am currently shedding a few. Very sad song. If you don't feel like cryin', don't download it.
Throwin' it All Away
You couldn't feel the sunlight upon your face Your little world A little out of place You couldn't hear the ocean You couldn't hear the waves I know you meant to come back I know you meant to stay
All you touched All you know All you loved - yeh
Well I can see you smile Can you see my tears? I reach to hold you But you ain't there You left a hole so big lord, Beyond repair I'll try to find forgiveness in talkin' what Will never share
All you touched All you knew All you loved You just left 'em with nothing to say
You're just throwin' it all away No you didn't care to see the light of day You're just throwin' it all away Like the sand upon the shore Your crashing waves came took you away

Yeah i actually bought that cd when Ryan posted that last summer.....it is a very sad song. I'm not really familiar with Zakk Wylde besides the whole ozzy thing but the cd is not bad at all.
If you saw the Pantera behind the music Zakk is in for a little while. I saw it last week when it came out and I thought about this thread as soon as i saw him on tv. Of course I had to tell everone I was watching it with that this guy used to room with Shannon Hoon. But it was just weird looking at Wylde...I just can't really picture him and Shannon living together.

gav234..An unlikely couple to say atleast..Heh. Too bad they didn`t record anything together.Can`t imagine what it would have sounded like.
I just ordered "Book Of Shadows"..Should get it early next week. Once i was ordering i grabbed "Blind Melon-Live At The Palace" too.

That "Live at the Palace" will be the one with errors. The new one comes out next month.

I just got an e-mail form Ginza where i ordered those two from and it says that Live At The Palace will be released 11th of october so i won`t get it until then.It should be without errors then i suppose.
