I vote for Chris Shinn or some crazy hippy with sick earthy lyrics who can sing his ass off.

I think I would love for Travis to come back and for them all to have a big group hug and magically work things out and live happily ever after. I am also really excited to hear Chris Shinn sing with them and I think he is amazing! Ive heard a lot of comments on how he should just take over the lead singer spot, Ill have to hear him with the band first before I can decide that but so far he is awesome!
However I kinda like the idea of Blind Melon playing with different guest vocalists and not having a permanant replacement. This band I'm into named Rasputina only keeps two original members, they have guest players or every record and tour and it always mixes things up and its always unique and brilliant. Something like that might be an idea.

Something like that might be an idea. that crossed my mind too ... have a diffrenet melonhead sing each night, or more of them, like a melon choir ... but that makes blind melon their own cover band ... chris shin - i'm interested in seeing how that would work, tho he seems like someone who would prefer to do his own thing, so i'm afraid that could go more in the UT direction than old BM ... i love love UT, but i still prefer BM ... but can't wait to see what that will sound like ...but yeah, maybe i'd still feel most comfortable with travis coming back ... but i would be happy if Brad would be the singer ... i can live with that, just 4 or em ...

I would prefer that Travis could come back so I voted for that. Realistically, I doubt that will ever happen though. I'll support them no matter who they find to sing. I trust that they won't let us down.

chrisshinn is leading, I am surprised. As great of a job I think he would do I just don't see him becoming permanent. He was never into melon and it really isn't his style.

I will keep my fingers crossed, say my prayers and hope that somehow, magically, Travis and the other guys will reunite with one giant group hug.

Where did ya hear that? don't you think matt that he wouldn't even want to join blind melon, from what I know about him from what people have told me hes really into his own thing? I think you kinda answered your own question there... I know he's steppin' in to help his buddies out. But, to take on the task of singing Blind Melon songs, and not being into Blind Melon? Doesn't make sense to me. His solo career really seemed at a hault. 4 newer songs came out not too long ago. Yet, he still decided to come aboard. I have total faith in Chris... He has all of my support. If it's a temp job, then so be it. I don't think Chris would agree to sing for Blind Melon if he really didn't like Blind Melon.

Matt, I am positive that I read in an interview back in the UT days that chris was aware of BM but he wasn’t really into them. He definitely did not say that he didn’t like them, just not into it. It was an online interview so I am sure with some searching it can be found.
You know him pretty well, do you really think he would be interested in joining them full-time?? It’s not his personal style of music and from what I know of his taste it’s not the type he listens to.
I am not questioning whether he is up to the task or not, I KNOW he is. I always wanted UT to belt out some vintage melon when they were touring.
