Someone said something about the Mammoth Sessions. I can't wait to see that either. I believe we will all see that sometime. Fingers are crossed!

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. hun i didnt say you did, matt told me what i asked, i didnt need you calling me jelous and cast judgment upon me when you DON'T KNOW me. that is all have a nice day.

I felt the need to provide further clarification because as a staff member I don't want rumors circulating about me that are not true. I wanted to set the record straight. You have a nice day as well.

First of all---Cody --luv ya man-- u always stick ur neck out for the ones that can't stand up to "these" ppl cause they are hard to deal with so we just don't........
But cody is right......there is no difference between u mods and us-- as a matter of fact I remember when it was just me and shannon b4 all you guys came into my world recently....It was all I had I kept it to myself everyday and just enjoyed it with every emotion in my body--Then I found this place-----
And there are fans on here that started this thing that have shannon songs that I don't have...And frankly that's crap cause they didn;'t even exist when me and shannon traveled and grew together as a fan and musician.....we went threw a lot A LOT for a long time------
So I guess if yU guys can't give it to atleast me an cody yU guys should not have it either...... I don't know who thought yU guys were special melonheads but my level of being a fan might bee greater or equal ... so if we can't have it(and I mean everybody) yU guys should bee waiting tOo.....

Sorry you feel that way. I played a few songs on the radio show, and if I could, I would share it with everyone. I can tell you've heard the CD, or the radio show... It's written in your signature.
Again, I wish I could share this with everyone. And please don't blame any of the other mods here. I was given this CD a while before I decided to share it with the others.
Fact is, I could have never told anyone I had it and this discussion would have never exsisted. You guys should be happy that SOMEONE has it and that this SOMEONE will share it when I am able to.
You do realize that there are TONS of shows, videos, pictures, etc... that NO ONE has because the tapers/photographers choose not to share them with ANYONE. I'm not one of those guys. I WANT to share this with everyone. However, for good reasons, I was asked not to (for the time being). If things change and the band tells me I can circulate it, you better believe that I'll be posting the songs THE VERY MINUTE I am given that opportunity.

Believe me, there have been plenty of times when I wish I didn't have it because I want to be able to share it with other melonheads. However, I have to keep my word. I would do the same for you if I made you a promise. We are not the bad guys here. I'm sorry if you can't see that.
Don't forget, Nel has it too. Matt gave it to her. When Nel played it for you at Vigil, it was because of Matt. Are you making negative opinions about Nel because she hasn't burned you a copy? I don't think so, but you are making negative opinions about Staff because we haven't burned any copies. You want to talk about fair, well that's not fair. Please don't form negative opinions about us because we have something that we have made a promise to keep to ourselves until it is released.

Thanks for the honesty Jayson.
I would like to think that forum members realize that staff has shared everything else we have with the exception of just this one thing. Just look at the Old and New Blind Melon Recordings threads. We organized those threads so that everyone would have access to everything and we could eliminate the whole "elitist" mentality of people hoarding what they have. This is the type of community where we share everything, so I understand how hard it is to know that this thing even exists and not to be able to hear it. Please understand that it has become a burden to even have it because it sucks to not be able to share it, and it sucks that it is bringing bad vibes to the forum.
Please understand that this isn't a hoarding situation. This is something that it kills us not to be able to share. Trust that. As soon as we have permission, we will. I promise you that.
I don't want to beat a dead horse here, it's just really important for me to express that this is not something we are hoarding from you guys. We do not feel like we are better than anyone else. Anyone who has hung out with any of us knows that. We are all big melonheads here, nobody is any better than anybody else. Staff members do not feel as if we are bigger fans than any other melonhead out there, and as a whole we disapprove of the whole "I'm a bigger fan than you are" mentality.
I understand that it doesn't seem fair that everyone can't have a copy of this, it's not fair that I can't burn it for anyone when I really want to. But that's the situation we're in at the moment. I know it sucks, and I sympathize with that.
I am sorry to have gotten upset with Cody about it, it's just that it threw me through a loop when he gave the impression that a hundred people have animosity toward the staff because we have this cd. It hurts my feelings to think that there might be a hundred people out there are under the false impression that I feel like I'm better than them because I'm a staff member here. I don't feel like I'm better than any melonhead, or that I'm a bigger fan and I want to clear the air by going on the record with how I feel about it. Every melonhead I meet on the forum or at a show is a friend to me. I know the other staff members feel the same way that I do.

Hey Mods, just wanted to give a shout out of love for all of you. I personally have grown my melon collection exponentially since joining this forum. You guys always work extremely hard to keep this sight up and running and filled with the latest of everything BM has to offer. I sort of lean the other way in thinking that it is ok if you guys get a perk every once in a while since you do so much for the melon community. I wouldn't even have half of the shows I have if it wasn't for most of you. I want to hear that CD just as much as anyone else here, but I totally respect your not sharing since it is what the band asked of you. It will be heard when the band (and Nel) is ready for it to be heard. So, I guess, just thanks for all you do and keep up the good work!

I was just stating that is all, i didnt mean for it to be a big debate lol, i was good on what matt said and fine with explantion, i was just wondering is all. i know ya'll dont think that, at least i hoped not. BTW i love you all, all you mods.

Ive sat back and watched this week unfold because i didnt wanna stir any more arguement, but this is something that ate me up inside... Now i see why you came back to the forum Cody, your true motives... dont think i dont remember why u got banned in the first place (threatening physical harm to Matt and such), so dont try to suck up and hide your true colours from members who were not around back then... by making these statements you are being disrespectful to the mods (who deserve all our respect) and foremost the band.... from my knowledge the sessions were recorded during Soup, as demos for that album, and hence OWNED BY THE BAND... they can do what they wish with it, make as much money they wish from it, and you are taking it for granted because youre forgetting you have at least heard it the whole way through once, (and probably a bunch more times), and im sorry your statements are EXTREMELY GREEDY... most would kill to hear what you have heard, but we are respectful enough to all involved to wait for the band to act upon it... and also i know the extent that you protested against Travis gettin into the band, you were essentially the leader tryin to stop it from happening and you paid out on him, yet now you suck up to him, you are SO inconsistant dude, "bi-polar" as someone said earlier... its obvious dude, knowing your history on this forum... i expect fire from you now Cody but seriously nothin you say is gonna matter a cent to me, im just venting so its okay what i say (using JaYsoN's analogy)....

Wow, I just caught up with this thread this evening. A lot has been said. I do not want to throw gasoline on this fire by saying too much. I will ask that if the discussion continues to get heated please take it to PMs. This is such a difficult time for all melonheads. We definitely don't need another division within the community at this point. If you still have something to say in this discussion that is full of emotion, please take it to PMs for the health and well being of the community. People are all feeling emotional right now. Right now. . . we need unity!
