    GALA PERFORMANCE Classic Rock October 2004 By Greg Prato In 1993, Blind Melon released a video that went on to be one of the year’s most aired on MTV; their debut album nearly topped the US chart; they toured with Guns N’ Roses, Neil Young, Soundgarden and Lenny Kravitz; and they gained a legion of fans. But just two years later it was all over. Classic Rock talks to Brad Smith, Rogers Stevens and Christopher Thorn about the band’s amazing rise and rapid fall.
