As of now, this won't happen for a while. Thats so lame, its all just sitting in a box some where, explain to me matt, no being mean or rude, but why does every mod on this forum gets a copy of the CD and gets to listen to the CD but a bunch of people who really love Blind Melon and Shannon just as much as you guys don't get it. I personally don't think its fair the band is going to profit off a Shannon Hoon album witch they had nothing to do with, Its just SHANNON and his acoustic. I'm sorry it just really bugs me, and a lot of other people. Its just not right!!! Shannon did that all by himself.

First of all, we don't have THE album. There isn't an album. We have an unreleased studio SESSION.
And, I have no idea as to what the band will decide regarding the proceeds from the CD (if it ever gets released). Try not to jump to the conclusion that the band will be making a profit from any solo cd.

I never said you had the "album" I just said CD, We'll let me rephrase the question since you failed to answer my intonational question. Why do you guys have this "Studio Session" but no one else can have it! I don't think its fair. For anyone who loves Shannon. I don't think a select number of people should be blessed with this "Studio Session" If ya'll can have it, you guy arnt no better then anyone else. And you'r right idk if they would profit or not, but to me it seems fishy.

Lemonade, man you must be bi-polar. Reading through your posts you never know what side of you you are going to let out. The mods get a copy because they have put a lot of work into this forum and they do an incredible job of keeping it somewhat sane. I am more than a bit jealous myself but I know someday I will get to hear it and the waiting will make me appreciate it more. It could go the other way to since a lot of it was written in angst and luckily I just don't relate to that as much anymore. I am sure that Shannon's estate will profit from the sale too, if not then that is f'ed up. The rest of the band gets to profit from it because of whatever publishing deal they had with Shannon. Fact is there wouldn't be any profit to be had if it weren't for Brad writing a catchy little song called "No Rain" and whoever came up with the ingenious idea for the video, without that I don't think most of us would have ever heard of BM. Sometimes I can't help but feel like we are all being used a bit. I understand the band needs to make a living but here we are years after his death and they really haven't let much Shannon related stuff out. It just sits there until they figure out of a way to maximize profit or they just don't care that we are waiting. I remember Rogers asking for our help getting the BM.com domain so they could put out a bunch of unrealeased stuff, so far nothing. By the way, where's the Mammoth Sessions?? I hear a lot of this isn't commmercial quality recordings so why are they waiting to put it out commercially?? Why not let the true fans have it now?? I have heard they "don't have the time to go through it all", well I know about 100 people around these parts that would happy to do the work for them. Sometimes it just doesn't make sense to me.

I got the cd a couple of years ago. I shared it with the staff. When I heard that they may be releasing some of the songs on the CD, I was asked not to circulate it. If the band decides not to release the CD, or gives me permission to circulate it, I'll post a torrent for it.
The band didn't know that I even received the CD until I told them a year later... So, this has nothing to do with them, and there is nothing "fishy" about it. We don't think we're better than anyone else.

Word man, i wasnt accussing anyone of thinking that, i just always wonder why ya know? i dont want anyone to think that im bashing ya'll in anyway cause thats not the case, i just was curious about it and i thought i could ask ya know? from the out side looking in it seems fishy, but if you say its not man, i believe you 110%, I personally think it should just be given out, ya know? people deserve to hear these songs, im luckly enough where i have heard them, and thats why i think they need to be heard because that CD is powerful! it amazing and its just a shame there is people out there who love shannon and havnt got to hear it. But i was just asking, sorry if i came off "bi-polar" but i just got with my heart, i wear it on my shoulder. I hope its out soon, rather then later.

Man i know i am crazy lol, no to tell me that, i am just on whatever side my heart feels, im not just going to be on a side because everyone else it, im not a follower, i have a mind of my own, not saying that you dont, i just speak what i feel. But your right man, its a shame, i watch "Letters" and see the Monmouth footage and just like WTF I KNOW ITS OUT THERE WHY DONT WE HAVE IT! We would be more then willing to go threw it all lol, but yeah! i agree man

Just to end speculation, this is something that Matt acquired and shared with the other staff members on his own free will and asked us to keep to ourselves. We have kept it to ourselves as we promised Matt that we would, we haven't held it over anyone's head or tried to tease other people with the fact that we have something that others do not have. Most of us never even let anyone know of its existence. Matt asked Rogers if it was ok to play a few of the songs on his radio show because he wanted to be able to share it with the community - he didn't have to do that - Rogers said it was cool. After Matt played some songs on his radio show he was asked by people who are working with the band not to share it any further because of a potential release in the future...so he stopped playing it.
This is not some gift bestowed upon the staff by the band.
We never said we were better than anyone else. We feel lucky to have it, and WE PROMISED OUR FRIEND that we would not spread it around. WE HAVEN'T.
If your friend tells you a secret and asks you to keep it a secret, how is that so wrong? Are you now better than everyone else because you have a secret you are keeping? No, you're not.
You have NO idea how hard it has been for us not to be able to share it or even talk about it with other melonheads, but BECAUSE WE MADE A PROMISE and we couldn't betray our friend by breaking that promise.
It's that simple. I don't know why you are so jealous anyway. Nel has a copy and I'm sure she'll play it for you whenever you want.
Don't act like we are evil because you are jealous that you don't have a copy. I would love to be able to share it, but at this point we have been asked not to. The minute I have permission to share it, I will.
If the band releases it, it won't be as special if everyone already has a copy. I'm sure if they release it they'll do it up right with nice packaging and maybe even more unreleased material than what we have on this cd. Then everybody will be happy.
Just be patient and stop making accusations.

I was typing while you were making your follow up posts, so I did not see them until after I clicked "Reply".
If that's not jealousy, I don't know what is.

Cody, I explained the situation honestly in regards to the cd. I'm sorry if you don't like it, but it's the truth and there's nothing I can do about it.
