I know this thread is similar to another but I just had to start it. I will not lie I have been drinkin since noon today. Just put in For My Friends about an hour ago. Finishing the album right now with Cheetum Street. I dont care what anyone else thinks but this album is amazing. Deep down in my heart I would like this whole break up to go away. Listen to this album everyone...it is a start of something that could be great. I know that this is the first and final chapter, but wow I really think these songs are amazing. Cheetum Street will hold a special place in my heart... Long live Blind Melon...long live Travis T. Warren. I love this music and never will forget this special time in my life. Forgive me but fuck the naysayers all I have known for years is Blind Melon and all I want to see is Blind Melon continuing to make great music. This stuff keeps me going. Without it I dont even want to know what may become...

I was listening to this yesterday too! Neil was asking if it was hard because of Travis and it sorta was, but I love the songs too much to stop listening to them. Wishing well came on and I was thinking about how great that song is live and .....I really hope I get to hear that magic again.

I'm feeling the same way too now.I'm kinda warming back up to the For My Friends cd.That song is dedicated to all of us also.I can't just walk away from the Magic & unity the whole cd represents to us,just cuz the band has had to find a New Singer.I actually had a Blind Melon dvd playing of one of the newer shows in the other room & I found that I liked listening to the Live show more than watching it.Strange.Best of Luck to Travis T.

I'm glad to see folks warming back up. For My Friends, every last song on that CD speaks about what is going on currently(if you ask me) just like the old ones did back then. Personally it took me about 3 or 4 days of not wanting to listen to that CD. Then I listened to it~ sittin around 4:20 with my brother, and those songs took an even deeper dive into my ears. I'm glad to see some people are feeling those songs again, because they are part of our Blind Melon history. #hoonsmiley# #peacesmilie#

Sattelite & internet is the future. Matt, you do a good job.

Thanks guys...
Cody, I looked into live streaming. However, I don't feel like spending too much money.. I'm already spending a little bit of money to do each show for the people who listen, for free.
You can stream the shows though. Anytime you'd like.
My listeners range from California to Japan... So, a lot of the listeners would probably miss out if I did live streaming. I'm sure that "Shannon's Smile" page wouldnt exsist if I did live streaming either... Thanks to whoever made that site... You pissed a lot of people off.

Thanks again Ryan and yves!

The "For My Friends" album will be back in regular rotation for the Radio Show, starting this weekend. you say radio show and i think its an important local radio station or something then i realize the irony Usually I keep to myself or try at least to stay nice but I'm not yet sure how this one's gonna work out. What the fuck does that mean Cody? A ~ you're on the Forum...the Blind Melon Forum and you damn well know that the radio show is from here and that Matt takes his OWN time and $$$ to do this for FREE. B ~ Are you trying to say his show is unimportant because it isn't local to you or just because you really wanted to take a potshot at Matt? C ~ I'm so sick and tired of you being all nice and then 2 posts later you're talking shit to people and when they get mad you try to smooth it over with your, "Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't talking to or about you..." If you seriously have a chemical imbalance and need to see a doctor I suggest you do so for the benefit of the people who care about you and because I happen to adore Katie. You wanna know irony Cody? When I went to the very 1st Vigilstock I watched you dance on stage for over an hour while the bands played and thought to myself, "He's so young. Look at the real, honest passion this kid has for Shannon!" You mesmerized me because your heart was so pure then. Every year I looked for you and never knew your name or talked to you but always felt some affection for that young boy. I introduced myself to you a couple years back and wanted to be your friend but you know what? All I see right now at least 1/2 the time on here is a petulant little child who gets pissed at what he can't have right away, taking nasty shots at folks he doesn't know and now you wanna fuck with Matt? Sorry youngin, I ain't havin any of that. Without Matt, there would be no radio show. Not to backslide either but didn't you threaten to kick his ass if he came to the Vigil? Who the hell gave you the right to 'uninvite' people? I'm sure Matt shook in his boots at that thought. Why Cody? Why have you gone from this special young man that made this huge impression on me to a spoiled, rude, arrogant punk who thinks he can FUCK with people? I'm usually THE nicest person you'll come by...ask ANYONE here who knows me but when you attack my friend over and over even I have a limit. Ask Nel who I am Cody...she's known me since you were in puberty so ask her what kind of person I am and she'll tell you. Get it together Cody....find that nice kid you were back a ways and stop with all this trash talking baby bullshit! Grow up! #hoonsmiley# PS ~ Before you tear me up as I'm sure you will take a few minutes to really read what I'm saying to you Cody. Read the words and understand them. I've been here a long time and the original Cody was a better person.

You couldn't make me cry. I'm sorry that you weird and me and Katie don't talk to you.
