Yay or Nay 09 - Blind Melon

[Boots]

ehhh, i think they would rock Bonnaroo. You?

[alyroo]

they loved them at Langerado, so sure.

[cwagiskingofthing]

yawn, I'll pass

[gOdWesSaTan]

eh i say yes but its not the same without shannon.. the bands still awesome tho

[Bishop]

May check these guys out at a club on the 3rd, I'll get back to y'all.

I've never been a big fan of their music, and the singer not being there handicaps it, but I'll give it a shot live.

[sparklybecca]

what i heard at rado was really awesome actually. so yes.

[augustwest]

they are like sublime without brad, not bad, but not worth going out of your way for.

[strumntheguitar]

Absolutely. They literally melted my face off at Rado. I sat down for a minute and closed my eyes, and just listened, and I swore that it was Shannon up there on stage with the guys. The new singer is incredible... He deserves more credit than people are giving him in my opinion

^^^ I'll second that one Strum. The set they played at Langerado was outta this world. Blind Melon would rock out at Roo.

[Silence04]

i missed the set at Langerado cause i had to leave early, but i saw the clips from you tube. Looked awesome, so YAY!

this is why i say nay. I wouldn't hate them being there. It's just that there's other bands I'd rather have taking that slot.

That being said, it might take them only several notes to get me really into their set

[gOdWesSaTan]

beautiful

I'd be there if they did that again

[slobpatttop]

I was very surprised they weren't at Roo this year. I was happy when I got to see them at Langerado.

[jack324]

Eh, I could go either way on this one. If I saw them on next year's lineup, I'd be pretty neutral - they're not a band I'd make an effort to see, but if there weren't any big conflicts I'd probably watch their set. A one-hit wonder from the early 90s wouldn't be my top choice (but, that being said, No Rain is a fantastic song).

[davidmakalaster]

Haha... He said "one hit wonder"

[Deleted]

I saw em months ago and it was incredible. It was a small venue really intimate. The new singer came out wearing a ghost mask and while he is no Shannon I'll agree with strumntheguitar, I could close my eyes and it was like Shannon was there. At one point a crew girl came on stage and they performed Mouthful of Cavities and it was incredibly moving. I had reservations about going but I'm so glad I went. And to the guy who called em a one hit wonder go pick up a copy of Soup and start listenin.

[mrflannery]

i'll say yay......sounds like good sunday afternoon fun.

[??Jen??]

They are playing a free concert here tonight with Fastball. I was planning on going but I am not feeling well. I mat still change my mind though.
