Man...this was a great album. Stupid herion killing all our rockstars...

[Carolina Husker]

Yes, very underrated album and band.

[Britneck]

They were underrated. The remaining members formed a band with George Shinn's son called Unified Theory. They were pretty good but never really made it. If you can find a copy of it it's worth getting.

Most underrated band of all time, Ive been sayin that for years. Had my ticket to see them at the old Boathouse in Norfolk, VA. Shannon passed 2 weeks before the show, absolute tragedy. FWIW, it was cocaine that killed him, not H...rep if I could, walt...

Yup---you're right---if I remember correctly Shannon fell off the wagon after a stint in rehab and went on an all night coke bender after a show...

There was a really good artice in the 'Details' magazine annual music issue. Talked about how Shannon's death went almost unnoticed with Curt, Jerry and Bradley from Sublime all passing close to that time, and how over a year after he died there was still not a gravestone at his place of rest. The band said he wasnt doing coke when he died, but he did a bunch the night before. They all went into a restaurant for breakfast while Shannon said he was stayin on teh bus. When they got back to the bus all they saw were his dirty bare feet hanging off the bed, and he never woke up...

I know that they released a CD called Nico Blue, named after his son, after he was gone, and I thought I had heard there was a "greatest hits" not too long ago...

They sucked.

[LiQuiD]

Drugs giveth and taketh away.

Without the drugs, the music wouldn't have existed. Cocaine....it's a helluva drug

I met Shannon Hoon and one of the other guys, Rogers Or Brad Smith ...cant remember which one. Hoon of course stands out..

The Mississippi guys grew up with some friends of mine, and came by to visit at my friends apartment one night in Starkville.

Hoon was um...strange. Didnt say much. Too bad he danced too long with El Diablo.

[Jangler]

My favorite band from the '90s. I think alot of people thought they were a fluff bad cuz of the "No Rain" vid. But when I heard that song I went out and got the CD immediately. I was listening to "Soup" today and was reminded of one of my favorite songs.

[Epistaxis]

I'm gonna go and show my bias against singers that have suckass voices.

Blind Melon guy. Steven Tyler. Billy Corgan. Dylan (yeah, I said it).

Springsteen.

Major suckage.
