================================================ Subject: Played Creed before first 5000 copies sold From: "Creed - 7M3 - Live" To: Date: Mon 30 Apr 2001 17:55:04 -0400 ================================================ It seems that your band had a good insight. That is to play Creed when it was fairly new and their future as a group was not even known. Being that you play all kinds of music. I guess you have been over quite a few possibilities of musical styles. I still remember records and didn't switch over to CDs until I was listening to a Great White album and the quiet to heavier passages would crackle on my linear tracking turntable. Then I traded in my records for CDs after hearing Great White on CD. Anyway, I don't play music. I sing along with the songs and Creed's MOP is still my favorite of the two CDs. I think it was a more thought provoking album. Like you stated. I hope that your band is doing good. I don't know if you play the club scene. But with a "set list". I assume that you do. Do you all have a website or sample songs on mp3.com or anything? I'd like to check them out. Later, Jim Steve Arpey wrote: > I listen to all kinds of music.
