From: "]\\[][G}{T§TÖ®]v[" To: Date: Tue 3 Jul 2001 23:52:49 -0400 ================================================ Oh, no offence was taken at all. There's been several times the past couple weeks where someone would come on and outright demand that Creed was a Christian band, and then get all upset when someone pointed out their mistake. Having been on the list for a while now, it's kind of refreshing to see a new member join that isn't all cynical or making personal attacks on 75% of the list members... we don't seem to get many of those around here anymore... a couple of good pages to read up on them are http://creednet.com/webdocs/faq.htm (as I just posted) and http://creednet.com/webdocs/bio.htm, which contains a little write-up on the band, and a little piece about each member. Hmm... what do I like about Creed... I would have to rank their live performances right up there by the top. I really enjoy listening to some of their older stuff... BC has to be among my favorite of their albums... it's cool to hear the different twist to My Own Prison on that album... alternate intro's, different guitar playing... I guess the other thing I would have to say I really like about Creed is their opening bands... I'm not sure if it's Creed themselves, or Wind-up, but someone seems to really put a lot of thought into who goes on tour with them... probably among the best concerts I've ever seen was when Creed was touring with American Pearl and Days Of The New. ¤]\[][G}{T§TÖ®]v[¤ http://NightStorm.isyourgod.com/ NightStorm_Draco_@hotmail.com NightStorm_Draco@creedlist.com NightStorm@isyourgod.com I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine, Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind Human pride sings a vengeful song Inspired by the times you've been walked on My stage is shared by many millions, Who lift their hands up high because they feel this We are one We are strong, The more you hold us down the more we press on What if you did?
