Ok...heres something positive...I love Blind Melon circa 1992. I bet if I came in here like some mindless sheep and started agreeing with everyone in here youd love me. But because Im an instigator, Im unwelcome. We are starting a new forum, called people who arent hypocrits and love Blind Melon, the real Blind Melon. None of you sissys are invited, how about that for a party? I still don't think everyone understands. 1 - If you are happy with the reunion of the band, and the band using "Blind Melon" as their name, cool! 2 - If you are unhappy with the reunion of the band, and think the band using "Blind Melon" as their name is lame, cool! 3 - If you only signed up because you are interested in Shannon Hoon, sweet! 4 - If you only signed up because you're a fan of Travis and new to "Blind Melon", awesome! 5 - If you signed up because we have discussions about Unified Theory and Chris Shinn, high-five! 6 - If you only signed up to keep in touch with people that attend Shannon's Vigil, right on! 7 - If you signed up because you stumbled across the "Sopranos" thread during a Google search, rock on! 8 - Etc... ------------------- So, if you oppose to the band reuniting, using the band name, that's all fine and dandy. But, there's a way to express it: A) "Blind Melon is nothing without Shannon Hoon!" In my eyes, that's a decent way of expressing it. B) "Blind Melon is nothing without Shannon Hoon. They shouldn't reunite. Shannon is rolling in his grave. Nel wouldn't support this! Travis is a tool! Get real people!" See, that's another opinion. However, the way it's expressed is very negative... Which then results in personal attacks and people crossing lines. No one here is forcing anyone to jump on the wagon or think differently about their personal opinions. That's the bottom line, really. We (staff & 95% of the members) would just rather read ANY opinions written in a positive manner, instead of 8th grade name calling-type opinions.

Right-on brutha! I knew I shouldn't have taken a nap. I missed all the drama, which by the way, you should save for yo mama. I LOVE BLIND MELON!!! I've been a stalker/fanatic/obsessive for over a decade. I was acutally stupid enough to spend over $1400 on a tour case that probobly wasn't worth $200, just because I wanted something that nobody else has. But in the same breath I don't have a "blind" devotion to Shannon. I've said before, if you believe in any sort of afterlife, do you really think that Shannon is somewhere saying. "Don't use the name Blind Melon!" or do you think he's smiling, and thinking "Rock-on! Brutha's! Bring the noise!!" Think about it. He'd probobly be more pissed off about all these arguments.

I don't know if any of you "haters" have ever been in a band, or wrote your own songs, but i have. If, god forbid, I died, and the band I was in continued without me with a new dude singing my songs i'd be estatic, even if they kept whatever name we had. The fellas in Blind Melon are carrying on with Shannon's legacy, and with Travis singing those songs will only add to that legacy, by bringing those songs to a whole new generation of kids. And those kids will go out and buy old melon records, and the royalities of those records will go to Shannons daughter Nico, I imagine. So by keeping the name they're helping secure Nico's future. Think of it that way.

I want there to be a 12 Daze Tribute Album. Someone send me a 12 Daze cover. I'll dryhump my speakers.
Linwood.. It's funny you said that. I was at a "show" 2 weeks ago. One of the band members I was watching was actually a former bandmate of mine. All of the sudden, the band busted out an old song that the 2 of use wrote together. It was cool seeing other peeps doing a song I co-wrote.

And then one day a couple of fish had a retard baby, and the retard baby was different so it got to live. So retard fish goes on to make more retard babies, and then one day a retard baby fish crawled out of the ocean with its... mutant fish hands and it had buttsex with a squirrel or something and made this retard frog-squirrel, and then that had a retard baby, which was a monkey-fish-frog. And then this monkey-fish-frog had buttsex with that monkey, and that monkey had a mutant, retard baby that screwed another monkey and that made you. So there you go. You're the retarded offspring of five monkeys having buttsex with a fish-squirrel. Congratulations."

I think that's the first time in internet history the sentence "monkey's having buttsex with a fish-squirrel" has been used.

Ok, I really hope I don't come off offensive with this, I've held back a bit after reading a lot of "Should they, shouldn't they, I hate it, I like it" posts related to the blind melon name keeping topic. I know it's only a few, but I've decided this particular post is where I'm gonna let it all out.
Who the hell is anyone here to judge, or act like they are anything more then just a fan?
No one
Ok, now, how many of you got back together with a ex-girlfriend/boyfriend, called yourself a "couple" and decided "some things are gonna change this time, it's not gonna be the same old me and you"
Probably a lot
now
How many of your friends tried telling you "Dude, you're making such a big mistake, this is all wrong, your time was then, you guys are just holding on to something that isn't meant to be"
Probably a lot, and how much did that piss you off, annoy you and made you not want to hang around that person anymore.
Ya know what, maybe it was, maybe it wasn't meant to be, but guess what, with a lot of things in life, you have no clue until you give it a shot.
I'm really sorry, but here these guys are busting their ass, moving on with their lives and careers, and.. I'm just sick of the Blind Melon name debate.. Just stop it, it's over.
I'm done, and again apologize if this came off as threatening but I just want it to stop..
