    Though both Live and Blind Melon were spawned by the video generation, each depends more on audio intensity than visual flare.  Blind Melon's major claim to fame is that frontman Shannon Hoon is a Hoosier homeboy buddy of Axl Rose's.  Formed in LA but now based in North Carolina, the band combined southern-fried riffing with harder rock dynamics.  Though its debut album won't be released until late summer, video exposure is already positioning Melon as the next Guns n' Crowes.  Or is that Black Roses?  Whichever, the $22 Blind Melon t-shirt was selling briskly at the Astroarena.
