I love that video, too! I was just thinking about how much I'm going to miss seeing the band live and talking with them, and that video just reinforces those feelings. It's been such a great year, and that high is ended, and may not be back. All summer we planned mini vacations around where the band was playing, so if the area sucked at least we had a great concert to go to, but now I feel I'm at a loss, with no concerts to look forward to. I sure hope everything can be worked out. As I look at my B. Melon wall I can't help but to think how grateful I am that I got a second chance to meet the band, hear them live, and to have gotten those precious autographs and pictures. It really saddens me that this could be it. Thanks for a great high!

i guess some people just dont get it even after you spell it out to them.... and thats fine, stay in your own little world. Nobody asked you to. Its one thing to be negative. But it's another to be RUDE and Disrespectful time and time again. Sure... many people have said disrespectful things about travis. Some warranted, some probably just in the heat of it all. I'm not gonna stand here and defend him, its not my battle. you have a problem with HIM.. take it to HIM. But what i'm not going to stand idle by and have you keep making unwarranted posts about 1) "age" mattering. 2) about how a band cant survive if a singer is gone. We've already cited prime examples of BOTH to discredit your ways of thinking... yet you keep up with the same arguements. Nobody asked you to leave... but it was mentioned that if you are going to keep it up and are THAT displeased with everything, that maybe you should. That way you dont have to put yourself through the agony. ------------------ on another note.... doesnt Travis have cherokee in him. Then that video would qualify as Travis having Indian "KIN" and and his "FLEA BAG FRIENDS" ;D bwhahhahah

i didn't expect this.., very sad that you had to cancel the tour.. but u're gonna make it!!
the sadest thing for me was reading "we just booked Japan, and we were in the process of putting together Europe and South America", fuck.. i'd be VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY NICE to meet you down here, in s.america...
hopefully it'll happen sometime soon
wish you the best as always for changing life.
thanks.

Dont mean to piss in the pot, but there was a question about drugs brought up.. a very reliable source coming from a friend who is a HUGE melon fan and whos other friend has seen the newest incarnation many times noticed that fans would throw drugs on stage and travis would try to pick them up and the roadies/whoever helps out with the shows would have to rush to grab them.
Coming from a recovering drug addict, it's sad, and i hope it's not true. Please dont be. Please.

Coming from a recovering drug addict, it's sad, and i hope it's not true. Please dont be. Please. I spoke with Travis on the phone yesterday ya'll and he HAS BEEN SOBER FOR MONTHS! He had a time on the tour when he was fucking up he admitted it and he got himself straight now. I can tell when Travis has been doing drugs, If he was doing drugs, He WOULDN'T of called me. I'm sorry for thinking that it was drugs. It probably was at one point, But hes been SOBER for awhile now, so the whole drug thing needs to be put to rest. HES SOBER. The reason he didn't answer his phone is because he don't like to deal with confrontation and thats under stable cause i don't either. Hes doing good. Travis poured his heart out to me for the two hours we talked on the phone and if I went into detail about what he said I think you will all shit your pants but that's all a dead point and there's no reason to bring back drama. Leave the guy alone if you aint got nothing good to say then dont say nothing at all.

This is heartbreaking news guys. Loved your Spanish gig. Me and a good buddy travelled from Ireland to see you play. We've seen lots of bands, from Eddie and Pearl Jam, to Evan and and the Biohazard gang! Corgan and the Pumpkins to Muse, U2 in Dublin and so many more massive rock bands... Nothing compared to seeing Blind Melon play live at the Azkena Rock Festival. Blind Melon are a band. I understand now. It's a tragedy that such a promising connection had been made only for it to dissipate, but like you say, Blind Melon are a band. You will always be Blind Melon. Gather your thoughts, regroup, become stronger and carry on... Good luck to Travis - he has an amazing voice. I'm still standing in the queue at tickemaster though, for the breaking news that Blind Melon will play Ireland... :-) Would have loved to have the pleasure of meeting you guys in Spain, but I know our paths will cross some day...
