The TRAGIC Story Behind Blind Melon's "St. Andrew's Fall"

Who Blind Melon was as a band often gets pigeonholed with "No Rain" and the Bee Girl video. But that read is inaccurate. Dig deeper into their music and you'll discover a depth not often found in the 90s alt rock scene. "St. Andrew's Fall" off their 1995 album Soup is a perfect example. This is the story of that song. It's a story of a monitor mix argument, a Detroit hotel rooftop, and the worst tour night of Blind Melon's legacy, right up until the one where we lost frontman Shannon Hoon. 👉 Subscribe for More Videos: https://youtube.com/c/AndyFenstermake... ✉️ Read the transcript & hear the music on the Poetic Wax Substack: https://poeticwax.substack.com WATCH NEXT: ✓ The True Story behind "Mouthful of Cavities"    • The REAL Story Behind Blind Melon's Mouthf...   ✓ Why People Didn't Get Blind Melon's Soup:    • Blind Melon’s Soup: Why NO ONE Understood ...   ✓ Jonny Greenwood Shocking Radiohead Beginning:    • Jonny Greenwood's SHOCKING Radiohead Problem   🎥 Poetic Wax Music History Series: https://www.youtube.com/show/VLPLPi76... 🎧 Get Blind Melon on Vinyl: https://amzn.to/4yhYGwH 📕 Greg Prato Books: https://amzn.to/4fyU39h MY GEAR: ✅ U-Turn Orbit Turntable: https://amzn.to/4tLTheP ✅ Edifier Speakers: https://amzn.to/4eXfSQV ✅ RØDE PodMic https://amzn.to/4unPKmO ✅ Logitech MX Brio Webcam: https://amzn.to/4uohKXx ✅ Meze Audio 105 Silva Headphones: https://amzn.to/3QIIZgW Poetic Wax is hosted by Andy Fenstermaker.
