Wow! Welcome to the forum, I wish for a second I could re-live the moment I found out the band was getting back together. Today must have been a HUGE day for you, how did you find out?

I was so happy to have found the fan site a few months ago as I thought i was the lone Melon fan. After I started reading through the site it seem like so much attention was focused on the "New" Melon with minimal talk of the old days!! I do need to accept the fact that times change.... people grow.....people die! I will give it a chance.... for real! But I still think nothing will ever come close to that voice that once upon a time effortlessly flowed. (CHILLS). Sorry If I upset any of the young people who never got a chance to see Shannon, I should just be happy there are still people out there who still listen to them old songs. Merideth..... you do qualify as an orginal "but its alright to smile back at me" Hey Gary, no harm done. You seem like a great guy and a huge fan. I'm really glad you found the forum. I know a lot of buzz has been going on around here with the new stuff, its exciting times. Blind Melon touring again.....wow! I hear they are coming back to the east coast this fall so keep your eyes peeled for dates. ;D

Gary,
I understand exactly where you are coming from and cannot blame you for how you feel, I just think before you make up your mind completely that you go to a show and meet Travis. I am not trying to compare Travis to Shannon in anyway and I don't feel that Travis is trying to "replace" Shannon exactly. Travis is very different and very talented in his own ways, he has helped to bring Blind Melon back to the fans after all these years. I was in High School when Shannon passed away, does this qualify me as being old enough to compare the bands? To me its the same band, reborn, with a second chance. Through the years it has saddened me that there will be no more Blind Melon...it was sometimes hard to listen to the music I loved without thinking that this was it. No more. Its a blessing to have this band back together making music again. There will never be another Shannon Hoon, he was one in a zillion. I don't think there will be another Travis either, he is unique in his own ways, I have met him several times and I think of him and the rest of the band as my friends. They are good people, all of them. They deserve this second chance as Blind Melon.
Now months ago when the band got back together and it was announced that they would remain "BLIND MELON" there were so many debates and arguments. Peoples feelings are strong on this subject and this forum was in turmoil. Many of these people who were against it have changed their minds after going to a show. This debate spurs nothing but negative energy and anger, people are just so passionate about the band and Shannon. I think we should just drop this topic and move on. I don't want to see the arguments get out of hand again, everyone is entitled to their opinion of course.
