I heard a radio broadcast with DOTN and Creed out of Dallas, Texas awhile back and I thought DOTN sucked live. But I thought that Creed sounded excellent live. For the bands that can't play live. I think that they shouldn't bother touring. Since they are a big disappointment to those that aren't stoned out of their minds. I'd rather see a band that can really rock your socks off live myself. I haven't really heard too many female artists that I like much. But I think that "The coyboy junkies" are the ones that I enjoy the most. I'm listening to a song called "Cresent Moon" that was offered on mp3 for download right now and I really think that they would sound great live. But they might stink on live performances. Of coarse, Creed rocks live.
