*crosses all crossable body parts for Chris Shinn*
The more I think about it the more I think he is the one I can trust enough to have faith in.
I mean I got so attached to Travis.... Its like your Dad re-marries 10 years after your mom passes away. Then the new wife sticks around long enough for you to feel comfortable in calling her "MOM" and they divorce..... it must be like that.
Anyway it will be really hard for me to "attach" myself to a singer again and trust that he will be there forever and ever until Rogers gets arthritis and his hair falls out and stuff.....well arthritis anyway and fake teeth and prostate medication.
Sorry to goof but I want to know whoever it is ....well they have to have a good history, work ethic, and be totally awesome.

I've been trying to explain to my non-melonhead friends how big of a deal this is. I've used "Blind Melon is more then a band, it's a lifestlye", but I like your way of putting it better.

Just for the record, Chris never left Unified Theory. It was Brad and Christopher who decided to dissolve that band. The reason I'm making a point of it is because he never quit and loved everything about touring. I'll stand by my initial point that they just didn't have the same work habits (not that one way is better than another, some people just aren't able to be creative in a structured environnement...some are).
I know that whatever it was, 8 years have passed, they're still good friends. Chris is gifted musically. The writing is on the wall. He wants this and feels like now is the time.
If you're teetering on the fence, jump on board and be vocal about it. Chris Shinn CAN & WILL bring this band to another level.

Just spoke with Chris... He's the most excited I've ever heard him. He's studying the bootlegs, videos, and normal CDs. He's got the songs down! The band will hold auditions, and the songs that are on the list, Shinn is ready to do! It's not about being a Shannon clone. It's about being able to sing the songs and bring FULL dedication to the band. Shinn has the voice, experience of being on the road, and is 100000% ready to give it everything he has.

If Chris is this excited, dedicated, and willing....why not? He obviously has a lot of respect and enough talent to do this...I mean...shit. WHY NOT?

I could only suspect that they're thinking "auditions" to buy some time to digest the situation. They mentionned Chris the same day they split with Travis. (that's gotta tell you something) We need to get everyone on board and be sure the band hears our voice...Chris is the guy!!

As Shannon once said: I sure as hell dont feel like I missed any kind of train If I could only show you how I feel Then you wouldnt bother me And then maybe youd see why we dont mind being blind (MELON)
This will be a really interesting project guys, I know you'll make the right decision...

That is exactly what I wanted to hear! Someene who WANTS to do it and puts in the effort - I'm impressed! And no - no Shannon clone because there never could be and to try that would be disasterous and unfair to the guys now...they have always been and still are amazing and should look to the future and how amazing they will contine to be!

How about Chris Cornell? I think he could put a nice twist to the old stuff and help write some interesting new music.
