OMG my mother-in-law had a Jack Russell terrier and that dog shat EVERYWHERE! She also cured me from wanting a puppy cuz that dog, though cute as hell, had the nastiest farts of ANY dog on earth! I feel sorry for your neighbor Yves and for you if you live within smelling distance! quote] See? I told ya... ;D Oh that was a nasty dog! #smiliefart# She was a great dog for all that she hated men. She protected my mother-in-law til the day she died and only liked my husband and my brother-in-law. #smiliepoo#

Where are you, Blind Melon? I loved the Dearborn show and have been waiting on pins and needles to hear what you guys plan to do. This is torture!

They have a few dates scheduled in Japan (per their Myspace) in early spring and then I think pardi (Christina) spoke with CT a few days ago and they are still trying to figure out after that. I say lets hope the New Years show and the Japan shows will re-kindle something with Travis (if that has not already happened). That's all we all know at this point. The Others may know more, but...

I really don't mean this to come off as me picking on you at all but do I detect a hint of jealousy in your reference to "The Others?" Since I know you mean the staff here let me point out that when they DO talk to the band members it's because "The Others" are doing what you want and RELAYING THE INFO THE BAND IS READY TO TELL US! As someone who ADMITS to being, not jealous but wishing like hell it was me ( ), I also respect that they DON"T blab stuff all over the place they may know. I don't wanna be sad at stuff that isn't gonna happen so I'm cool knowing when THE BAND decides I'm ready. Everyone needs to realize that BECAUSE the staff doesn't blab is exactly WHY they are told. I think the staff devotes alot of their own personal time and money into making sure that the official site is accurate and well presented. We should all be grateful. Forum Staff Rules!!! #hoonsmiley#

I really didn't mean to pick a fight but there have been so many shots taken at the staff that it's basically expected. If that's all it was then I apologize.

wow.
I duck outta the room for a month and look at everything I missed!
Look, basically. I got royally screwed. But you guys aren't going to hear about that. Travis just couldn't wait to blab on his blog that he was back in the band. He obviously didn't care how I would find out.
I was in Nashville heading to the studio when I received a text from Yves. That's how I found out.
I later got a voicemail from one of the members telling me the news. I got the feeling they wanted to talk to me personaly but knew Travis had let the cat out of the bag. And feared I find out exactly the way I did.
I understand and respect their decision. I really do. but I've ever been more embarrased.
I did get 2 sincere emails from 2 members trying to make sense of it, but I have been pretty shocked that there was never a public apology.
besides the $500 I spent on my vocal coach, I comprimised valuable time with my band (which sucked because my guitar player lives in Brooklyn and was in LA the same 2 weeks to work)
I don't want anything from this band and sure as hell don't expect it. But damnit, you better believe I was Blind Melon. even if for two weeks. I've never worked so hard to get kicked in the face. At least I deserve to be recognised for my time.
They came to me for christ sake?!
I've tried taking the high road with all this.
oh well... that's it in a nut shell.
I was the rebound. Plain and simple.

Why do you got to bring it all back up. Your just beating a dead hourse with a stick here man. All this is going to do is start more bickering between all of us members of the forum and nothing you said is going to change any of it. We all love you man, its just for most of us Travis is our guy, and you can't blame us for that. Some things are just better left unsaid... Move on...

WOW. Sorry Chris. I was dying to hear your stunning voice on these classic songs. The drama around my favorite band never ceases to amaze me.

that sux man... just shows that ALL band members have acted a little silly over this, not just Travis... Im extremely appreciative of your efforts Chris, shame nothing got put down on tape... i think the band needs to work on the communication a little better, cause the way they're dealin with it shouldnt have dragged the fans in... we should have never heard about all this mess in the first place, and hopefully everyone involved can grow up a bit from this...
that being said, this is a public forum and Chris has every right to post here without being attacked... it is better we hear both sides and all he was doing was telling his side of the story in response to Rogers' (and the band's) post...

I shouldn't even say or write a word on this. Shinn is awesome, and I would love to be able to see him on stage with C.T. and B.S. He deserved better treatment then to receive an e-mail from some dude that has nothing to do with the band.

Yeah i hate it that chris got shafted on that, finding out the way he did. But on behalf of the blind melon fans, "THANK YOU CHRIS," for steppin up and trying. Correct me if i'm wrong but didn't you kinda bail on them with the whole Unified Theory thing? I'm not trying to bash you by saying that. Your a bad ass and i dig your music.

Chris has every right to post and say whatever he wants. He speaks the truth.
For the record, I had NO idea that Chris wasn't in the loop when I sent him a text. That was brutal.

Chris did NOT bail on Unified Theory. Not sure where you heard that, but it's 100% false.
