    taken from the myspace..


    " I'm staring at the back of Brad's head. He still has all his hair. Amazing. He's at the board now working on the mix of "Father Time". We've mixed seven songs and have maybe 12-13 to go.
    The show-booking process is about to start, so we'll have some information about that in a few weeks.
    Brad's hair is delightful. He's got it pulled back into a nice little ponytail. All he's missing is a fannypack and a cellphone holster. "

    thats the progress.... also a tour section has been added to the forum so they will be touring soon

    Anybody ever get into Unified Theory? Their album was great... I saw their 2nd or 3rd show ever in San Fran. It was $5 and came with an all you can eat BBQ!! Hung out with the band afterwards.

    For those of you who don't know.. it was Christopher and Brad from Blind Melon with Dave Abbrusse (sp.) from PJ on drums and a singer/ guitarist who sounded just like Hoon.
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    Yeah I got the Unified Theory album, A.M radio is an awesome song - will have to dig out that record.

    On the new song, I love it. It's weird trying to think of it as the same band, sounds like them, and the new singer has a similar voice to Shannon's, so it feels familiar - but at the same time you have that feeling it is definitely something new. Either way, it sounds great - and great music is great music.

    I know what you mean completely.
    As much as I love the fact that Blind Melon's back together. It just feels odd knowing it's not Shannon. But, it does sound great!

    I believe it was Dave Krusen on Drums for United Theory...some great songs. California was a favorite.

    That album was released 7 years ago this week (I had a promo poster). :)

    Unified Theory was a good album, and it was definitely Dave Krusen on drums, not Abruzzesse. I never thought the singer sounded that much like Shannon, though. I always thought he sounded more like Jeff Buckley.

    On topic, I wish they'd go ahead and put the new album out. I can't wait to hear it.

    This makes me sad. I can't believe how many people are okay with them calling themselves Blind Melon without Shannon. :(

    don't hate me but it sorta sucks and the singer tries to get that hoon sounding tone in parts of the song which is stupid..be yourself dude. never try to sound like a dead lead singer in the band he came from...creepy and disrespectful. for my friends is pretty good but the voice bugs me..not shannon for sure but way too similiar..i think if i seen them live and they played an old song from the hoon days i might flip out and start crying!!
    Oh dear dad
    Can you see me now
    I am myself
    Like you somehow
    I'll ride the wave
    Where it takes me
    I'll hold the pain
    Release me

    Actually I seem to remember hearing the guy sing in his old band, and he sounded pretty much the same - I guess that's why they chose him, so it was recognisable as Blind Melon. The song is undeniably good though.

    *Here's his old band's myspace page, you can hear some of their old songs, he sounds just the same.

    Alice in Chains did it, AC/DC did it, and Blind Melon is not as big as either of those two bands.

    It doesn't make it right. I don't think AIC should be called AIC either & well, I never liked AC/DC so I don't give a rats ass about them.

    I thought the hardcore Melon fans woulda really been against this. I do know quite a few who are, but the amount who accept it, knowing all Shannon put into that band, amazes me. Shannon is irreplaceable, & it's an insult to him & the fans to go on pretending they're the same band. They shoulda changed their name, played their music with their wannabe 25 year old singer, went on their merry way & left the Blind Melon name alone & un-tarnished. I hate hearing people say "Blind Melon" & having to wonder of they mean the real or the fake.

    Sorry PBM, my stance will never change on this.

    There's gonna be a little extra saddness when I go out to the vigil for what woulda been Shannon's 40th bday this year...
