drtydane Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Both insanely great albums, but personally for me, Soup as far superior. Go through spurts when I listen to one more than the other but always return to Soup... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Self Titled for me, crackin' album, love it I remember when Shannon Hoon died too, didn't see that one comin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Self-titled barely edges Soup for me.I have a lot of love for Blind Melon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could you not see it coming? See any of those 95 shows? Some were televised. He already looked dead.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I never saw no shows, just listened to the albums and then one day outta nowhere he was in the papers dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtydane Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Ya... shocking maybe, but certainly not suprising.. Compare that to how he looked at woodstock 94. Deteriorating fast. Sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Yeah see i've since seen all that stuff and it looks clear but you gotta remember i was about 12 years old at the time and i'd never had MTV or any of that, only place i read about music was in magazines and even then i used to often avoid the articles and just check out the album reviews and stuff so from my perspective he was this fresh faced kid and then one say, boom, he's dead.

Chinaski Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Self-titled for me. One of my favourite records ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCG Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I would have previously said Soup, but at this moment in time I slightly prefer the self-titled. Earlier this month the band released a 20th anniversary edition of the album, which includes tracks from the Sippin' Time Sessions. Self Titled for me, crackin' album, love it I remember when Shannon Hoon died too, didn't see that one comin'.You're joking... How could you not see it coming? See any of those 95 shows? Some were televised. He already looked dead..That's true. Shannon looked like that in this performance a month before his death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinaski Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Jesus. I'd never seen him like that before. Kind of wish I hadn't. He looks terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John densmore was there promoting his new book. Pretty cool. Didn't have all the songs from the session I don't think. Candy says etc weren't on it..Edit: nvm I think candy says was recorded as part of the soup sessions.
