I really wish Travis Warren didn't leave. They were awesome. Saw them live a couple weeks before the initial split. I listen to For My Friends all the time. Great album.
Anyone else a fan of post-Hoon BM? Are there any b-sides in existence, or live tracks? I have heard of that 4-track ep Deep Cuts the record label put out, but anything else?

I'm a huge Blind Melon fan and I agree with you that Blind Melon's new music was pretty awesome with Travis. He's a bit of a douche though. I love For My Friends and still listen to it from time to time! I was really pissed off about the split because it came a week before I was going to see them live for the first time. I'm really hoping they find a new singer soon and get back on the road/in the studio.
I haven't heard of this 4 track Deep Cuts ep, could you pass some more info my way? I would love to hear some BM b-sides! As for live stuff, they have released a live album and have a few live tracks on their greatest hits album. The greatest hits album has "Soak the Sin" and "Deserted" as the live tracks. They do an awesome tease of Queens "Under Pressure" as the introduction to deserted. You should check it out!

Not that I know of, but I didn't hear the album til 9 months or so after the album came out.
Is the singer back with them? what the hell are the other members doin?
Travis will not be rejoining the group. They have had many issues with him and ultimatley decided to kick him out for good. They are currently searching and have asked people to send in videos of them singing BM songs. Lets hope they find a replacement soon!
Paul David, how did you access all of these b-sides from the early days?

it's funny, Travis says he was fired, they say he quit out of lack of communication! usually the quit/fired argument goes the opposite way!
Internet, my good man.

Cool man, that would be wonderful! Im too lazy to search for these things
Blind Melon is an amazing band! Top 5 of all time for me. I hate how they are considered, and technically are, a one hit wonder when all of their other songs are so much better than "No Rain"

Been quite awhile since the split and them asking for people to submit videos hasn't it (18months - 2 years??) ... still hopeful they manage to sort something out ... and yep I really liked For My Friends

Shame the sound quality as the gig was dire but yeah is lame they broke up.
I went with my cousin. I was so totally blown away with the vocal similarity, I told her to close her eyes for a minute and just LISTEN.
BLEW HER MIND. It was surreal.

I actually just looked and have less than I thought I did. I think I may have had those on my old pc. These are the few that I have:
Candy Says
Out On The Tiles
Three Is A Magic Number
And the few aforementioned live tracks from the greatest hits album. The No Rain (stripped away version) is fantastic. And as I said, I'm not a big fan of the original.

I often have Blind Melon days, and am sad I never got to see them either with Shannon or Travis. I have friends who saw them at Reading and said it was great.
I have the proper albums/official releases including a live one and a greatest hits, and some Shannon demo tracks his mum put on the net but never found much more than that...
2012 - Manchester i & ii, Berlin i & ii, Stockholm. 2014 - Amsterdam i & ii, Trieste, Vienna, Berlin, Leeds, Milton Keynes.
2016 - Boston Fenway i & ii, 2018 - Amsterdam i & ii, Pinkpop, London i & ii, Padova, Krakow, Barcelona, Seattle i & ii.
Shannon will always be a legend in my eyes. Such charisma, and what a voice?!
I loved For My Friends, even though I admit I was apprehensive about Travis to start with! But I still enjoy listening to it now.
Be good if the guys could find a new singer & come up with some new material. Their talent is sorely missed in my opinion.
PJ albums, at the moment!! -

I agree with you. The guys really need to find a new singer soon. I was so excited when I heard they were putting an album out with Travis. Although I love For My Friends, it;s not my favorite Blind Melon album. The music is amazing and Travis has a great voice. The lyrics aren't nearly as good as what Shannon would write tho. Some of the lyrics on For My Friends I found a little cheesy at times. Other than that it's a fantastic album!

I totally agree with you. Warren did a great job and For My Friends is a great album, actually my favorite Blind Melon album.
