Taking away the original lead, back vocals and principle song writer will do that. Musically their new stuff isn't bad but sounds nothing like blind melon. After Brad left it feels like they went in a completely different direction with their sound.
Blind Melon without Shannon Hoon is like Nirvana without Kurt Cobain or Aerosmith without Steven Tyler. It just isn't right...... Some things are best left in the past as they were......
I used to think that too, but Travis is a phenomenal singer and adds a lot to the band. It took me years to come around to it, but if you listen to their last album, without comparing Travis to Shannon, it’s really f’n good.
@@electricbuffalo4137 I can agree with both points. Im a huge fan and this guy does do a phenomenal job....lots of bands get replacement singers and it doesnt work but this does sound damn good.I miss Shannon I can only imagine what they would have done with him.
Good to see Travis back with the boys. I think Shannon would be really proud of all these guys.
Just ain't the same guys ,,, favorite band ever,,, respect, just not the same

Travis does an amazing job here. Nobody can replace Shannon but, Travis does a great job paying tribute to the legend.

Left around 2015 or 2016 and took a lot of what made blind melon with him. Check out his solo project Abandon Jalopy.
