Blind Melon back together

EyeballGrowth · 11.12.2006, 01:52 AM

It's official. I know it immediately sounds like a bad idea cause the singer was a huge part of the sound, but those musicians are amazing. They were my favorite straight alternative band of the 90's because of that bluesy, funky edge to their sound. It was all about their bass player and lead guitarist. Sooo so good I'm glad they are back.

I like that song about rain. Never heard anything else.

A name change would be appropriate.

fucking deaf kumquat!

I'm sorry but blind melon just didn't do it for me.
Shite.

blue sunlover · 11.12.2006, 05:57 AM

should i know them? the name sounds kind of funny,but they may have to change into exploded , rotten or juicy melon.that sounds more (ir)relevant to me.melons have no eyes but their taste is great.especially watermelons.

eh don't listen to those guys

one of the best albums of the 90's

noisemachine · 11.15.2006, 11:07 PM

All I know from them is their big one hit wonder. Cant recall the name of the song but I still hear it all the time. Just based on that song, I have no real desire to look further into them. But who knows, their other stuff could be good.

ricechex · 11.16.2006, 12:52 AM

huh, slightly interesting. I think they only had two proper albums, but the second, Soup, i suggest trying that one out. its very weird in a positve way. very experiemental, cool time signatures and what not.. they could have been pretty good if they had the chance.

LISTEN to the friggin bee girl album. They were not a one hit wonder. No rain is the least interesting song on that album and none of the other songs sound like that. That whole album is funky blues music, and it gets really psychadellic at times. Awesome awesome stuff. I wonder, soak the sin, paper scratcher.

They were a one-hit wonder, because they had one hit. Isn't saying te other stuff is bad, (it's not, I like some of the other stuff) just that they had one hit.

I find it stupid that they bother reuniting, especially since Shannon Hoon is dead. C'mon. Embarrassing.

I'm glad to see them play again cause I really like the musicians. I think it would be cool if they toured with no singer at all, more like a jam band which is what their music sounds like. The musicians have all kept making music together since.

zedius · 11.17.2006, 01:44 PM

Blind Melon was amazing. Anyone hear Unified Theory? That singer should be the singer now. But I'm absolutely stoked about this anyway

Hopefully Travis Warren sounds anything like Shannon Hoon.

And to anyone who's only heard no rain, you ought to check them out. They sound nothing like that. Try dear old dad, or time.

Also, they weren't a one hit wonder. Tones of home, galaxie, and change all received substantial radio play for a few years there.

sonikold · 11.20.2006, 12:08 PM

soup & nico are beautiful albums, some of the best, nico is tragically unfinished, but there's still some amazing tracks.

Shannon Hoon should of jumped off that building in the G N R "dont cry" video, cuz lets face it, if you found yourself singing beside Axl Rose thats reason enough to jump.
