I can't believe someone would give up an opportunity like that, and be blessed to sing that well, and shoot it away. God. Well, it's blind melon that's has help me in the worst times of my life,wouldn't be the person I am today without your music, and can't wait to see you guys in vancouver again! But can you stop in Victoria also? "you gotta do you best to decorate this dying day." Love you guys! Keep up the great work, and thank you for the van show, and all your efforts. Travis.... Grow the fuck up. Peace

Rogers, I'll write you more later, but right now, all I want to say to Blind Melon is.... (btw, don't pay attention to the whole lyrics, the chorus is what matters) I'm serious though, hehe.

Although I am saddened by the bands break-up, and disappointed, I have to be greatful to Travis for giving me the opportunity to see the band live, it was the best concert I have ever attended....as much as we are all tempted to be angry with Travis, try to remember the difficulties he had struggled with, very much like our beloved Shannon. I am praying for Travis, that he didn't give up this opportunity due to an illness that many of us unfortunately understand...that being said, I can also understand the bands frustration, and their desire to not drive down this road again. It just bgoes to show you that people may step in, and they may be very good, but no one will ever replace Shannon in my heart. I will, however, go to any show, despite who is singing, to see the remaining 4 members of my favorite band, THEY have kept the music alive. Good luck finding someone up to your standards, guys, but I will be here even if you go on an instramental tour...... God, I miss Shannon....

There is no anger towards you Rogers I think we are just worried that it could mean the end of Blind Melon. That'd would be such a big waste. I don't want to think about this

i miss shannon soooo much. I know the guys worked with him through all of his efforts in rehab and stood beside him. I know they would have done the same thing for Travis too (if thats whats going on). I also know that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. These guys know you can not change someone...if theyre not willing to see a problem..whether thats a substance dependence, personal problems etc. I really respect the guys for saying get it straight or get out. One thing about shannon, with all the problems he had, his music was his heart.....he never let go of the meaningfulness of his music.
oh yeah, i know this idea has been shot down many times before, but hey....brad......we love you, you are beyond talented. i think you greatly underestimate you voice...there were times when you were singin harmonies with shannon that you sounded exactly alike...i even thought until i watched some video of it that it was shannon's voice overdubbed. Shannon definitely loved your singin. he was always smilin when you were singin with him...he would definitely approve!!!!!!you obviously know, love and feel the songs, come on.....i think it might be great to have just the 4 original members up on stage together.

Just like Vince said, I just hope this is not the end. That'd would be such a big waste. I had magical moments on the shows. I´ve been planning part of my life just to see these magical ceremonies (specially here from Brazil, long trip to the US), please don´t let them go away.

Don't apologize Rogers...it's beyond your control. Your fans never went away because we believe in you, always have, always will, PERIOD!
My heart is crushed since my 1st EVER BM show would have been Monday. I feel worse for the band. They already went through a terrible loss losing Shannon and yet again, after "dipping their toe into the rock-n-roll lifestyle" again they lose another. I think it's safe to say we all feel pain and loss, shock, disappointment, uncertainity of the future. The band's gotta be feeling that 100 fold. I think everyone involved is handling it the best way they can and I think bashing Travis is uncalled for. No one bitched when he was onstage making ya'll sing again, freak out, revel in the old and the new, look forward to the future. Has anyone walked a mile in Travis' or the band's shoes? Did anyone read TTW's blog telling his readers not to talk shit on the band? I saw it. The band isn't tearing him up so no one else should be either. I love BM and I'm an old head from back to the beginning so I say we all grow up and leave the threats and name calling to the children. Where DID that lemonade go...
Blind Melon ROCKS!
