Any Blind Melon experts here?

Hi, this is an old Rolling Stone Cover as poster. It has all autographs of the Blind Melon members on it. Opinions?

"... I really want this poster to be real. ;)..."

Careful. That can be blinding, the sheer want.

So true. Like with most things in life. I just try to get as many opinions about that poster as possible.

Here is another from Heritage. Click for full image:

Appreciate that! When I compare the sigs to mine on the poster I think it should be good. Especially the one of Shannon Hoon. But some people here already said it's fake. Hm. One way or another I'll keep it.

Are the ones from Heritage 100% real?

Hello, I do not collect these signatures. I posted that for you. I expect you have seen many and saved many scans in your search for authenticity or not. From a glance the HA example appears to be in line with the one from just some dude posted on page 1. Yours appears odd man out.

Ok. As I said I really appreciate your support.

I'm new here and far away from expert. But when I compare the Heritage to mine, (img 1848 & 1849) I think the one of Shannon Hoon f.e. is more similar than the one from Some Dudes' CD (img 1847).

You need WAY more than 1 or 2 known exemplars. Many more. One of the sigs you just posted moments ago is the HA example I posted which you were not sure is genuine. The other is from just some dude? Surely you have more? POst them. From the little I have looked at...yours - I'm not really seeing it. The drawn slow construction of the Noone, some differing loops...the other names...you need many more exemplars that are known to be genuine. There is not enough here to work with IMO.

I should mention that mine came with fairly solid provenance. Specifically, a Blind Melon fan from before they “hit” who got it from a verified college radio DJ with a letter included.

I will say that I think I got a “lazy” Shannon, but that doesnt bother me bc my gut and my eyes tell me its real.

Again, Hoon and Horn are the “easy” sigs to forge in Blind Melon. Its the other 3 on your poster that should have you concerned.

You could pass that off as authentic Hoon, sure. But if the other 3 are fake, what does that say about the chances of your Hoon being real?

Yes, true! And I'm really thankful for the help.

In order to learn more about my poster I went to a BM forum and got connected to a member of the band. He looked at the picture of the poster and said fine. As mentioned earlier it doesn't mean that this is the breakthrough :)

+1 to just some dude

I see. Just to explain: I'm from Germany so excuse if my English is not perfect.

Then I will go and find some authentic examples. Maybe I even can find someone here who sells a BM-autograph.

As I said - tough hobby but more and more exciting! Thanks!

Happy to try and help. You English is WAY better than my German! It's fine - I did not notice a thing. I'd start a new file and keep every image you find that you verify - patterns will show after a while one way or another. Good luck!
