“When Shannon first got to town, he was staying with Guns N’ Roses‘ Axl Rose,” Rogers Stevens explains.His sister knew Axl from high school and called him up, asking him to look out for her little brother. So Shannon had been living at Axl’s place for only a few days when he met Ahmet, (Atlantic Records president). He sat down on the floor with an acoustic guitar and played the song “Change” from start to finish.“My f**king jaw hit the floor, I thought, ‘That dude’s a f**king rock star.’ I mean, you just knew it right away.” Rogers Stevens ▪︎ Blind Melon -Spin Magazine
