Yeah, as a former addict, I can tell you that drugs, especially cocaine begin to alter the way you look, and as it did with me, even strained my voice a little.. but thats not to say that his case wasn't from singing the way he did and not being able to sleep. Either way he never stopped being a sexy man.

I liked the way he looked in those Holland? recordings they did too.He got a little frustrated at one point but sat right back down in front of that microphone & seemingly effortlessly,blew everyone away seconds after opening his mouth to sing.To Me, that day is very high on the list of amazing recordings by Blind Melon.

i like to remember him with the long hair and no hair on his face.... he for some reason looked innocent key words... looked innocent!! i dont know...there seemed to be a softness in his eyes thats not as present in other pictures. its funny cause when i would mention his name to the guys in our band theyd tease me because they knew that i thought he was the most beautiful guy id ever seen!!! HE TOTALLY IS THEE MOST BEAUTIFUL MAN WE'VE EVER SEEN.

the first pic i saw of him was nico back so i used to picture him like that .... but later when i saw other pics, the no rain long hair happy face stuck but how bout those behind the music haircuts - bald / blond/ samurai? wow lol i also like the one when his hair is just above his shoulders ... there's a scene of him playing guitar on a porch ... he's so cute i don't like the last phase ... disturbing, so pale and sick ...

I remember him with the later look most of the time. Like in the Galaxie video. I know this boy named Justin who looks just like early long hair Shannon. When I first met him I really thought it was Shannon.

I think this thread for me, ties in with the "depressive" thread... i think seeing such a dramatic change in shannons looks and his voice and everything about him is a real wake up call and it hits you in the face like a ton of bricks. I fell in love with the youthful bright Shannon Hoon with his dynamic voice and eccenticity and love for life. The Latter Shannon is alot darker. He has grown up, but it has been at a cost and it clearly shows. That's the part that pulls my heart strings the most... is the thought that even he must have missed his old self, he had enough self awareness, he was not an idiot. He probably looked back and thought he was alot better as a person when Blind Melon started out and hated what he had become. There's almost nothing worse than that.

The very first picture is how I think of Shannon when I remember him, he did change his look a lot but that was my favorite. The first picture is the Shannon that I keep saved in my Nogan as well. My thoughts are the early pics of shannon= weed + lsd. Later pictures = Heroin and Coke.

My thoughts are the early pics of shannon= weed + lsd. Later pictures = Heroin and Coke. P.S. When I witnessed BM open up for Neil Young in the summer of 1993...........Shannon still had the early look as in the 1st pic! He really didnt change his look till the very end. When he went to "The Quater" to make "Soup". I traveled around the country for 3 years when I graduated Highschool in 1991. One of my stays was in New Orleans for about a month. Let me just tell, Jim Morrison said it like it is.................."People are strange". New Orleans is without doubt the "oddest" place I have been when I traveled. Matter of fact..... I made it to every state except for Hawaii and Alaska and NO was by far the "oddest" place. My point................In my opinion, which doesnt mean alot, is that Shannon living in this "odd" city of New Orleans gave him an oppurtunity to change his look! Regardless of how he looked........it doesnt change the fact that his music/voice and song writing abilitly was second to none. I have a question for anybody who can answer. In the Shannon Solo that Nel gave us (thanks so much nel), is this Shannon all by himself? ?? I mean is he playing guitar/harmonica and everything?? If the answer is yes...... I have an even more """aaahh""" factor than ever! Please reply with an answer to the question I asked....greatly apprec. "sshhh, I hear something in the pantry"
