PappyTron Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Sad. If they want to continue then that is great news, but call the band something else. The singer is usually the one who defines the band and Shannon was fantastic and hugely under-rated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icet224 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Man, I really liked Travis, it's a shame he bailed on them.I kinda hope they go for Jena Kraus, I love her voice on Mouthful of Cavities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Their last album was surprisingly good and I'm usually skeptical of bands continuing under the same name after the lead singer has passed or left the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't have a problem with them releasing a CD with Travis singing, but now that they are replacing him you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't support it the first time around and at the second time it's even worse. That's why I felt that Nico should have been the last album under the name Blind Melon.

If it was under a different moniker I would've given it more of a chance. It isn't real Blind Melon just like this isn't real Guns N' Roses. But Axl's new music kicks ass so I deal with that. If "For My Friends" was on par with original Blind Melon material I might have gotten over the fact that they replaced the most important member...
