Rockstar Blind Melon......you have to admit that would be some funny stuff!
I think people need to read and then reread a post before they reply. I've been guilty of reading some posts and thinking "what the hell" and I reread it and get a totally different vibe. Thank God we all have different opinions.....it's kind of like the agreement I have with my inlaws. They give me their opinion...I respect their opinion...but make my own choices. We don't always see eye to eye but it's all about respect.

After reading the book and hearing about the drama surrounding the last few months of the band with Shannon I mean the royalty issues with no rain, issues with shannon's estate, Money, the in fighting, and whatnot, I mean genuine bad blood. None of the last few months has surprised me at all. To tell you the truth I am very very sad AND utterly disgusted. I will support them obviously in whatever they do but I am getting very tired... I have seen Sparticle and Unified live. NOTHING ever came close to Melon... I could never compare Blind Melon to Unified Theory or Extra Virgin. For me, they were each their own thing in a different frame of time. With that being said, I'd argue that Unified Theory could have surpassed Blind Melon had they stuck it out and released a few more records and continued to evolve. That band kicked my ass.

Ryan, (mods & bm faithful)...I hear ya 100%, but the above comment does require a public response. My initial comment on this thread was an opinion. I was quite clear on that. I also stated that I couldn't compare the above mentionned bands as they were all very different. Lemonade decided his opinion was required (and so much more enlightened). I could sit here and rip this kid apart, (in many different areas...his grasp of the english language for instance), but arguing on the internet with someone who is clearly behind a Jack Russell Terrier in terms of intelligence would be a waste of time. Cody, I'm glad you're Shannon Hoon's biggest fan. I glad that BM's music has "saven" your life. (though I'm not quite sure what that means). I'd just appreciate it if you got back on your leish and quit shitting on my lawn. If not, I'm going to have to call animal control again.

Hey... Please...please...please.... If you have any respect for me or the band, I am asking you to not put this kind of stuff on the forum. Nobody, including you, benefits from this. Everybody, including me, is put off by it. This is beneath you...... it's beneath all of us. We tried to clarify stuff with our statement....to move things along and get past all negativity. If we find somebody good to work with...if WE can BELIEVE in it, then we will continue. If we can't find something that feels right, then we won't continue. Them's the facts folks. Have we let you down yet? I mean this in regards to the records or the shows that you have attended.... If we have let you down at a show or in your headphones, then why not check out now? Just ignore us as go about your life. You can always enjoy the records and memories that brought you here in the first place. We will NEVER do something just for a dollar. We will of course play music that we believe in for a dollar. There IS a difference. If it ceases to sound or feel like Blind Melon to us, then we will call it something else. We make all of our decisions based on how it feels, not on how we think it will go over. We figured out long ago that unless it feels right to us it will never work anyway. I'm hoping that perhaps the bickering can stop. Maybe we can start a joke thread or something.... here's an idea...I'm going to go back to my Q and A thread as a distraction. If you have any questions about me or me, go there....I love talking about me. Enough about you, let's get back to me. rogers because your opinion is the end all & be all. not meaning to offend you here, but you're a loser. let me get this straight....the chris shinn fan club president here comes to the Blind Melon forum and has his head so far up Chris Shinns ass you cant tell where you begain and he ends.

well, i was thinking...(diversion to conflict....i come here to chill out and talk about good music...i respect opinions, but the conflict, its bringin me down man!!!!!) Any way, yeah blind melon rockstar, is that like american idol with the band members as judges? i didnt really watch it, but i think it would be funny to hear the band critique the singers... you know rogers could be the cynic full of sarcasm , kinda like simon, guess brad would be the nice judge (paula) and smile alot and glen would probably be painfully honest (i get that feel about him...i like that) and christopher, well, i dont know, guess hed be smilin and makin jokes while being completely aware of the ridiculousness of the situation...that would be funny. cheap, tacky and shallow and not melon style at all to me, but the thought of it is very entertaining

Question, or is it two???
I am sorry if this has been asked, but... can Travis continue to play For My Friends tunes with his solo touring? Will Blind Melon go on playing songs from that album, also? I ask because the band took down all of the FMF songs from their myspace page, with the exception of Last Laugh. I seriously hope both Travis and Blind Melon will be able to continue to play all of those songs because if they just let them go it would be truly saddening. I love all the old Melon but FMF is in my cd player for weeks at a time in my car.. I love it!!
I miss the Travis Melon a lot already.. lets pray for another great new singer asap.
