<BRAD> Nico will be in-stores November 12, Letters To Porcupine may be out a week later...
<thesweep> To Rogers-Do you think Blind Melon's third album would have sounded like Nico if SSShannon were still with us?
<Loony> Glen its Blind !!!
<naomi> Please don't forget about Japan!!
<TheHive> Brad I  am here with 2 friends we are excited about your new album
<Melonman> Blind Melons Sound "Great"
> Glen-- I have acopy of the Muchmusic show on video...Mof Cavities isn't on there..hmmm..
<mouthful> hello guys...
<SonicMod> ***** To Rogers-Do you think Blind Melon's third album would have sounded like Nico if SSShannon were still with us?
<ROGERS> with a new vocalist, weve already progressed into a new area, but the basic sound is still there. wht a nhew singer and wihtout shannon it will be differewnt.
<Vernie> ROGERS**Because this album is a gift to Nico and all of the BM fans, do you plan on releasing any of the songs to the radio stations??
<MoSHI-MoSHI> Glen, Roger & Brad- OK, I got this question from a friend yesterday: What BOOK OR MOVIE best describes your lives?
<GLEN> Hopefully we will go to South Africa sometime, we have to get a band together first.  We will go anywhere they will have us
<Miguel> Blind Melon, PLEASE COME TO ECUADOR!!! You have loads of fans here...
<silver67> Did any of you have hesitations about doing the SOUP tour, with Shannon fresh out of rehab and all?
> You should release Soul One!!
<Andrei> GLEN was it your congo drum that Shannon almost gave me at Woodstock?
<Red> GLEN BRAD ROGERS *grin* If you ever come toCalgary, Alberta,. you can stay with me.
<BRAD> Johnboy... I hope so I don't want to be a Van Halen Mach III band... I personally have grown musically & we're pushing forward. None of the three past Blind Melon records have sounded alike... The fourth should be different as well.
<Spacegirl> COME TO WINNIPEG!!!!!!  COME SOON, BEFORE IT GOES BELOW MINUS 500
<SonicMod> ROGERS**Because this album is a gift to Nico and all of the BM fans, do you plan on releasing any of the songs to the radio stations??
<GLEN> No- I dont think that NICO would have the same sound if Shannon were still with us
<Loony> Glen you guys can come staywith me I'll be only to glad to Have you !!!!!!!
<Melonman> Strougl you have that web page dont you
<Johnboy> ROGERS  do you think the fans who worshiped the old will remain for the new stuff?  Does that Worry you?

<Melonman> its asum thanks for making it
<Vernie> GLEN**Which one??
...blind joined lounge
<Vernie> Suggestion:  The Pusher

<ROGERS> obviousl yit would haqve been different with shannon there, he is such an overpowering force that it is definitely noth hthe sAME..
<jc> Glenn: Do you think Shannon would have approved of Nico? Or would he have thought it was corny or something?

...Brett joined lounge
<silver67> Did any of you have hesitations about doing the SOUP tour with SHannon fresh out of rehab and all?
<BRAD> Brad...Capitol would like to release "Soul One" which is probably the most radio friendly but not the best one on the record...
<Loony> WHY IS THe AlbUm being called NIco ??
<ROGERS> i think were trying to not fill the shoes of the old band but step into new ones....and start anew. we all miss shannonn  and we hope people will give us a chance wiht this new thing.
<GLEN> I think that Shannon would have loved it...Its the closest he ever got to a solo record.  He always wanted to do vey creepy/SYD BARRET material...
<SonicMod> WE'RE CHATTING WITH BLIND MELON ABOUT THE NEW RELEASE "NICO"!!!!
<Valerie> I really like Soul One
<Johnboy> BRAD, GLEN AND ROGERS-  I am not in the Fan Club, but am a huge fan.  Is it still worth it to join?  Will the fanclub get any special releases in the future?
