Hello Everyone! Just looking for some feedback and suggestions. An Idea was presented to maybe make a section devoted to all the excitement of the new Blind Melon while leaving another dedicated to the old Blind Melon. I would like some feedback on what everyone thinks or if anyone has some other ideas or input on this it would be greatly appreciated.

I just thought I'd repost here what I wrote in Travis T. Warren thread: In my opinion, Blind Melon is Blind Melon.. This part dedicated to "Blind Melon" new or old. But, if the others agree, maybe we'll do a lil' something. Just in case...don't get me wrong, my suggestion was nothing against the new Blind Melon, I think you all know by now how excited I am about it just like everyone! I was just thinking how it's another chapter in the history of Blind Melon, no one can deny that there's a difference between the old and the new, we haven't heard the songs yet, but it's been 11 years since they didn't play all together and there is Shannon missing and Travis who took the place of a singer. For me it's something different, although I have no doubt it will be awesome and it's dreams come true to me!!! It was just an idea. I think a poll and suggestions is a good idea.

. . . just some thoughts; We are all comfortable with the early Melon music. We have all used it for different reasons... right? We all have favorite cuts that mean something to us or picks us up off the floor. Now, we are all sit'n around waiting for the new stuff! Will give me the feeling of the "old" stuff- musical medecine-provide that comfert zone that I can go hide in-will it give me that crawling feeling up my spine??? Damn I hope so, because I really need to hear these guys play again. So maybe the pressure is on the "New Melon" to put this kind of music out to the fans. So to seperate the "old" from the "new" would be an issue of respect. If we could get some feedback from the band members directly it might give us the answer.

But then it may be kind of hard to seperate the old from the new because so much of it will be intertwined. I guess as we get more information/material about the new Blind Melon there will be more topics that are distinct between one and the other.

How about just a generic "Current Affairs" section for items specific to what is happening now....all other band items old, new & in between would still have a home in the "Blind Melon Is A Band" section. A "Current Affairs" section would also prove to be useful once tour dates are announced, unless you end up creating a section entirely devoted to Current Tour type items (i.e tour dates, setlists, possible meet & greets, photos, etc.)

Being an official erotic photographer for Blind Melon wouldn't be that bad Oh, I hope Rogers or anyone from the band never reads this thread #lmao# Seriously though I think for organizational purposes it may be a good idea to seperate the new from the old within the Blind Melon Is A Band section. But then it may be kind of hard to seperate the old from the new because so much of it will be intertwined. I guess as we get more information/material about the new Blind Melon there will be more topics that are distinct between one and the other. Actualy that's what I was thinking, about how it will be more in the future, they will release albums, doing tours, new pics etc. We have so much to discuss about the "old" Blind Melon and it's been 11 years they don't play any more. So imagine how it will be when the band will actualy BE there, creating new music and touring! And I hope it will last for a long time!!! I imagine that there will also be a lot of new melons posting here. So I was thinking it would be easier for melons to find topics they're looking for if things would be more devided and organised. I also like Greg's idea of making a "Tour" section, but I guess we'll have to wait a little for that. Arghhh, I don't want to wait anymore! Oh, like (I think) larsons said once, if I've waited for 10 years, I can wait for a few more months...

I don't think there's any need to seperate old from new. Their still Blind Melon. Funnyface 421 has a good idea, with a "current affairs" section, or something like that.

agreed a current affairs section sounds cool but a whole section devoted to the next stage of evolution of the band seems a bit extreme

The lyrics for Blind Melon music is obviously a very big part of how great they are. I happen to really get into the instruments though. I was listening to Final Pieces last night, a live version of Soup, and just getting into the MUSIC. The way they come together with amazing timing, they bring in other instruments within the band memebers' etc., I feel like it is textural, I can actually touch it. I am thrilled that they are playing together again, and with tons more experience to add to their music.
All babbling aside, I think I am trying to say that they ARE Blind Melon. The vibe they create when they are together is Blind Melon. They waited this long until they happened to find someone who contributes the same thing.... I will find it difficult to separate old and "new", at least in a labeling sort of way. Yes, I do think the idea of current events or continuing in the "Blind Melon Is Back" thread would be awesome for updates.
I think it's awesome that we are even able to discuss this... that they ARE back! I can't believe I will one day get to see them perform!
