I just wanted to start out by saying I'm glad to be amongst other diehard Blind Melon addicts. Anyways, I'm Britt. Even tho I grew up during the 90's, I didn't really start listening to Blind Melon til about 2 years ago. To see them tour again was kind of sad at first til I saw how they were presenting themselves. I'm a hardcore Alice In Chains fan, so some of the anger from there decision to reunite might have slipped into how I felt about Blind Melon, but again my mind was changed when I saw how different the situations are. Travis seems like a great fit, and he praises Shannon. I only wish that Jerry and AIC could have found someone a little more respecting of Layne's memory, but I'll just leave that at that. Plus Travis was wearing a Layne tribute shirt in that first interview, so he scored even more points with me. Well I'm happy to see them back together and can't wait to see them on the road.

Welcome to the forum! Travis also saw AIC at one of the reunion shows, he seems like a really big fan, he is also a great guy.

I agree about the AIC thing as well.. The guy does have a good voice, and does fit in... But, why not write new songs? Why not pay tribute to Layne EVERY show? I just can't understand that. I know there was some bad blood between Jerry and Layne, but seriously... A tribute would be nice!
That's what I REALLY love about Blind Melon. They are not putting Shannon on any back-burner. The recognize him each show. In fact, they even printed a new shirt "Hoon & Bros since 1991".... I believe that's the print? Just another way to keep Shannon's legacy alive.

Yea...I guess they were selling them only at the shows... Ask Karen Rutterskilion... she'll probably have more details about that.

No...you must steal it. You must steal them all. You are not from the USA. You can just pretend that your country gives away everything, all the time. Steal everything. Send me half. And play dumb.

Welcome to the forum. I also agree about Layne. The way he layered his voice multiple times on tracks was amazing.
