They should still Change the name of the band... BLIND MELON was Shannon.. not this man.. change name.. You will still make your damn money... BlindMelon left with shannon....RIP n long live hoon
@jacsonrmk i understand you but at the same time this isnt the 80's....cant change the sings as if they never meant anything....love the rest of the members of melon and they have such great talent but i think they should start another band and create music.....because in my opinion blind melon is and never will be the same....RIP Shannon... Hoon was....IS the greatest...and will forever be missed....
Yes I do agree with a lot of people that say that a lead singer isnt the whole band, yeah im glad that they are still making music. I'm going to pretend that I have never heard of blind melon or Shannon........Yep Travis still gargles balls, i mean seriously he's got a terrible voice (hey i'm nickelback meets yes) and his lyrics, have you really listened to any of the songs he wrote i mean any of them...i mean seriously any?....no really.....im not kidding
I give them respect doing there thing without Shannon,but come on,change the name.If it weren't for Shannon,they would have never been named Blind Melon!R.I.P. Shannon!
this new singer was a talented musician and a great leader.... maybe the rest of the band was just jealous for the recognition and protagonism on stage i don't know i don't know that shit just happens in a lot of bands that fires singers just because the attention they steal from the hotties
LONG LIVE SHANNON!! as much as i respect what they are doing...its like making a sequal to a movie that doesnt need one, and it just ends up putting a stain on the original
does anyone know why travis quit the band in 2008 or 2009 or thats what i read anyway i know he is not shannon but he is an awesome singer and i listen to this song everyday you should also look up the video of i wonder with him singing live and nico is in the shot also anyway i hope the best for them i have always enjoyed their music and RIP Shannon you are missed thanks for all your great lyrics Danno 615
I heard he broke his voice trying to sing like Shannon.
Poor fellow, but it isn't the same without shannon. I heard they were getting Craig Owens to sing for them. I think It'll butcher Blind Melon, Honestly.
wow new singer didnt last long, although i read he left to persue a solo career i bet its really b/c he felt a ton of pressure trying to live up to shannon and the expectation of fans
You know I have been a fan of Melon since 1992 and the passing of Shannon was very traggic. When they found Travis and started again I was so happy. He was a great find and this was a great album. Sadly Travis departed. Hopefully they can figure it out again. Melon was all about the music and when you listen to For my Friends it is still Melon! Totally Melon
i would'n stop listenin to a band because of a new band member, but its not just a new band member when its the lead (and only) vocalist, the whole feel of the music changes. Like nyrangers731 said they shouldn't be calling themselves blind melon still.
dude was good but certainly no Shannon, i think everyone should just chill out and listen to the music. that right there is a wonderful piece. don't be so bias, BM was about the music and still is hopefully, don't stop listening just cuz of a new band member, Fleetwood had so many members in and out nobody stopped listening to them i didn't anyways.... smoke up people, RIP Hoon.
what's with my favorite bands starting up with new singers? sublime, blind melon.....if one of your own passes, you dont call yourselves by the same name....RIP shannon
i really that blind melon got back together they still sound good, this song is so awesome!! And the new singer still sounds like shannon just a little!
This is great, the blind melon was the best band in the world with Shannon and now with Travis the road continues. I love blind melon and music is beautiful wishing well.
I agree, Blind Melon had some great guitarist. Early 90's rock was really the last generation gun slingers.. Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, Kim Thayil of Soundgarden... Some modern rock bands would sound so much better if they actually played some guitar melodies rather then a few limited power chords... cough cough Nickleback cough cough
i could give a crap who the vocals are, this song kicks buffalo balls. just because hoon is gone doesnt mean this song isnt totally righteous. smell the flower on the table, not the one in the compost.
it must have been really hard for this kid to take the place of shannon hoon ill never forget the first time i saw them at milton keynes with guns and roses he blew my mind away but im just happy that the melons kept on going and weve still got some shit hot music with a shit hot vocalist cant wait to see them if they come to the uk
you know what, the band is great but, uh yeah shannon WAS the band and if u cant realize that hen ur not a true fan. sorry to the rest of the band you are talented but hoon put u guys on the map, and any true blind melon fan knows that
i am probably the biggest blind melon fan in the world and i cant agree that the new sound is great but its ot blind melon. the only reason i was able to accept this new guy is that shannon hoon's mother accepted him and thats great. that being said they need to change their name cause it sure as hell is not shannon hoons music and he was blind melon. peace out.
Really solid tune - catchy melody and riffs, and this guy can belt it out. It's really mixed well - surprised that it didn't get more air time on mainstream radio. Powerful lyrics. It doesn't have to be compared to Shannon Hoon - stands up on it's own. Shannon was a whole other level of talent and he left a bit before his time.
Oh fuck ! Awesome song !!!
