LCG Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 (edited) only ever heard the first album, thought they were fucking incredible. still do.Check out Soup, and then Nico (Nico being a compilation album of outtakes released after Shannon's death - it's dedicated to his daughter Nico Blue (who is named after Christa Päffgen), which explains the title). You'll really like them. Edited August 17, 2007 by LCG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Communist China Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 ^ Soup takes a few listens to sink in, but I actually ended up liking it more than their debut.New song Sometimes and new video on their myspace. Sometimes is my least favorite of the new songs, but it's still pretty cool. Now that we've heard 5 songs, I wonder which of them actually makes the final album cut. Also, I don't think they have a record deal yet. They are announcing tour dates though, progress is undeniable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevGNR666 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 the song soup is my favorite blind melon song. it's one of those songs that i must admit that i cry to almost every time i listen to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Communist China Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Lucky! I wish there was a show I could go to. They get pretty close but it's not going to line up quite right this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronaldo9 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Any word yet on a release date for the new album? I've liked everything that I've heard so far, so I'm really looking forward for it. Also, hoping I'll be able to make it to the Columbus show.

Communist China Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 With respect to the band's wishes I didn't take them (RSoE, Hypnotized, Sometimes or Wishing Well) but if you have the patience for slow-loading proboards forums try http://blindmelonforum.com . There's probably someone there who could hook you up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Communist China Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Shannon would've turned 40 today. Listened to Self-Titled and Soup, gonna put on Nico a little later, maybe watch Letters From DVD too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bax Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 (edited) I admit I was very skeptical at first and didn't even want to give the new singer and songs a fair shot. Then I ran across a torrent of the Chicago show about a week ago and it completely blew me away. The band sounds tight as ever.According to an announcement during the show, the album will be out no later than Feb although they're shooting for January. Here's the page with the torrent if anyone wants it-it's in FLAC and the crowd's singing is a bit loud, but it's way better that the quality of sound on 90% of GN'R shows. Enjoy!http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=510368 Edited October 21, 2007 by bax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 (edited) I love Blind Melon. Old and new.I saw them live in NYC in october and it was the best show I have seen. (I was too young to see them with Shannon).I understand that some people feel like they shouldn't have used the name Blind Melon and all that but like Glen Graham said. "If you lose an arm,do you change your name"Give them a chance! Travis does an amazing job as the bands new lead singer and their new songs are really good. He's also a huge Shannon fan and they honor Shannon every time they play. Shannon will never be forgotten among fans or the band.You can listen to a few of their new songs here - http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...iendid=95911507 Edited December 7, 2007 by J.T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
