Shannon won't come back whether they play the songs or not. Why get bent out of shape? If Shannons own daughter can support them than why can't blind melon fans? Do you honestly think shannon would disapprove? Fact is the album they did with travis is better than the majority of music put out today.
i love how every comment praising this scumbag travis are written like 2 years ago or more back when he was in the band. back before he got famous enough to ditch the band.
thats why when you listen to travis sing songs from shannon, it sounds like it has no soul and its just some loser cover band.
i can respect the fact that these dudes contributed to the writing of the music, and that they still want to perform the songs... they can perform them with a different band or a different singer, just dont use the fuckin name man... its not blind melon without him....
...its not alice in chains without layne. its not GNR without axel and slash and duff and what's his nut... the point is, i still respect these musicians and them wanting to play their music, but it was a point in time of the history of rock n roll that can never be relived, revisited or improved upon. let it be.
"It's no longer needed here" and neither is this so called BAND. Without SH they are simply horrible and the so called "sound" they emit is torture to human ears! Please stop performing this song.
They are still great musicans with or without Shannon .They just want to play their music yes it's not the same without Shannon but let's face it, it shits on most of the crap today!!
1. Nothing will EVER compare to the Woodstock '94 performance of this song. EVER.
2. It would be much better if they just changed the name of the band. Much like Sublime, they're back and they're now known as; Sublime with Rome. Look at what happened with GNR :s.
i agree, i mean melon is my favorite band and i would love to see them live (since i never did with shannon), but i have this feeling in my stomach knowing it will never be shannon, no one will ever be shannon.
i think for the sake of blind melon, sublime, and nirvana like you said- you just can't replace them.
Writing a song is more than writing LYRICS. They are a band, and as a WHOLE they wrote these songs. Travis did what they were looking for and he did a fine job. Maybe you dont like him and you think they shouldn't do these songs, but they are the ones that get to make that decision. Thank God, because there are some of us that still want to hear these songs live.
I agree...I find it so strange they are doing this...seeing as Shannon wrote nearly all the songs in the majority...Soup is amazingly hard song to sing..but Shannon just make it look so easy...I wish these guys would just leave all these songs out of touch to twats like this new guy singing.
It's strange...cus I would pay to go see Alice in Chains without Layne in their new tour but could never ever go to one of these gigs in the newfangled fashion. It isn't BM without SH
My fucking ears are killing me listening to this outright noise! Is this the same song that Shannon Hoon sang at Woodstock '94? (I didn't think so)

Two things:
