Last I heard a band was more than one person, just because a member dies doesn't mean there isn't still a connection between the remaining members. Them using the same name doesn't mean that they are trying to be the same band, I look at this new music as a new chapter of evolution in blind melon.

oh god, please...not again...we've been through all this already...some fans dig, some don't...it's entirely up to them. I'm just happy to see them playing together again after 11 years and doing what they love

Okay guys, we dont want to get into this argument again... Jakem2c, we just finished a huge argument about this topic last month which ended up extremely negative and it didnt get anyone anywhere in bringing it up... No one won the argument because there cannot be a winner when it comes to opinions... Although you may think it may be a good discussion topic, it only ends up with people getting negative and personal... Some threads had to be locked down because it got so heated, so i suggest that you go look for those past threads and find out what people think, i myself was tired of arguing with people who didnt share my opinion, but it is not our decision or place in chosing a band name for Blind Melon... Im just keeping you up-to-date on what has happened in regards to this topic in the recent past, and well, it has not been received well on this forum... The thing about topics like this is that there is no way anyone will be converted, it only brings sadness and negativity, which is against the forum's wishes... Anyhoons, welcome to the forum, and thankyou for putting your opinion forward politely and positively, but this is a tentative topic which will only spawn negativity... Hope you have a good look around and see what else there is to offer, and see what other topics you can contribute... Welcome to the forum fellow melonhead!!!

blind melon is a band, not just shannon hoon. ive always thought that the rest of the band were so talented together that they should have reformed a long time ago

Jakem2c, Please try to read some other threads. This topic have been burned to the ground. If you want to know the how's and why's of the band name thing. I suggest you look up Rogers Stevens profile and read some of his past posts. He explains everything about their reasons for what they're doing what they're doing.

this is a bit on the same line but when Hillel Slovak died and John Frusciante quit the red hot chili peppers kept the name...it's a bit different but there you go

Don't sweat it. I did the same thing when I first came here. I still find myself looking thru old posts, sometimes. Just to make sure i'm not repeating myself, or saying something that's already been said.
