I picture him with his "No Rain" look. Long hair, healthy, happy, and carefree. At least that is always how he came across to me when he looked like that. I like his short hair too and often picture the "Metro" look when I think of him. Depends on my mood, I guess. He was amazing either way. Yeah, exactly the same would be true for me too

Yes, I agree....He was amazing either way #hoonsmiley# I picture him with his "No Rain" look. Long hair, healthy, happy, and carefree.

Totally & surely amazing either way. But I do prefer the long hair. I dated a guy who looked exactly like him once.. then he shaved his head. I was so bummed. But he looks like him either way. & thats my rant about my ex boyfriend, haha.

Shannon was alot like a chameleon.I guess I usually picture him in my mind with short hair,but it also depends on what I'm listening to. I'll tell ya what,when I shaved my head,no one even recognized me.When I have had long hair,I don't look anything like I do with shorter hair either. Yep,his eyes look black & puffy,but how much is make-up & how much is not sleeping,only he knows that probably.His voice was getting a little strained towards the end but I don't think that had much to do with his overall health.I thought that everyone said he was actually as healthy as he'd been in years before he started using again & died from the accidental overdose,Which didn't take too long.

I didn't care for his hippie look very much cause it made him look old and creepy. lol Maybe it's because I'm old but I love the hippy look.When the No Rain video came out he had such a fresh look for the time.That's how I like to remember him~Like all of you I love him either way but when I watch the Toes video or any of the later stuff I feel sick to my stomach almost too sad to watch.Maybe because you can just see whats happening to him and I know how it ends~

I always think of Shannon the way he was in my favorite perfomance of his.
For example, when I hear almost anything from the 'Blind Melon' album, I think of the fresh, young Shannon. Carefree, full of life, yet defiant and troubled. I also think of him as a stoner during that time. Harmless pot smoking.
When I hear anything from Soup or Nico, I have different thoughts of him. Soup - I think of him at Woodstock. Walk - I think of him at The Metro.
Other songs like Paper Scratcher and Change, I picture him in many ways...Woodstock, Sippin' Times Sessions, Letterman, etc.
The later years definitely are sad to me as well Brandy. When I watch him in shows or video toward the end of his life I feel like I want to step in and save him from the inevitable. You can definitely tell that his drug use has gone beyond anything harmless.

Yeah,When I watch the Galaxie video or the out takes of the video,it bothers me.It's pretty Damn obvious he is out of his mind at that point.I can almost totally relate to it, if I was to shoot a music video, at some points in my life.Scary.I like the Toes video.I just always assumed he had put dark makeup under his eyes on purpose cuz if his eyes were that bad he should have been in the Hospital that day instead of shooting a video.

His voice was getting a little strained towards the end but I don't think that had much to do with his overall health. What is it from then? Singing improperly over the years or overall fatigue? Something else?

Something else? Well,I mean like just from him belting it out,giving it all he had,his singing voice ended up sounding a little strained,different.On the other hand if you've got coke draining down from your sinuses that could contribute to tearing up your throat.I don't know these are just my impression of things.My point of view on it could be completely false.

I prefer to remember Shannon from the early days, long hair & hippy like. But I also remember him as a spun guy with short hair & black eyes. Drugs do that to people.
