On June 8, 1993, Blind Melon released No Rain, a track that would later be called a one-hit wonder. It became a phenomenon – with its mega hit MTV video with “that girl in the bee costume.” The “Bee Girl” video put the band on the map. But, according to Capitol Records’ VP of marketing at the time, the song and its music video “borderlined on overexposure.”

Speaking of overdoing it, frontman Shannon Hoon later revealed that he was on LSD during the video shoot. And then, two years after the song was released, it was all over.
This is the story of No Rain and how Blind Melon was on their way to the top but never make it there.
