================================================ Subject: Re: Why try to attract band participation. From: "Creed - 7M3 - Live" To: Date: Mon 9 Jul 2001 19:09:53 -0400 ================================================ When they had the contests. They would say "two tickets available for the first five people to respond to the message (or submit a review of a show that you saw, or what made you start istening to Creed) compliments of the band." But you are right, the label was the main participant in the contests. Like I said, the label never got Creed to participate in the discussion list. It is all fan based and very little input from the band. Except for a few posts that could of could of not been from Scott S. I guess since this is a discussion list. it could be about anything. But since it is the official Creed list. I would hope that the band would officialize the list by thier presence. But, since this is a discussion list. I guess discussions should be the main ingredient. since it is called Creed-discuss, I guess that we should discuss Creed. What do we have to talk about! Should Creed participate in thier official discussion list? Do you think that Creed will reach thier goal of making an album that could be compared with U2's sucess? Do you think that a bar brawler can help families through a charitable organization? Is Creed a stealth Christian band out to convert the world to Christianity? Are they a PJ rip-off band? What were they referring to when they put the hidden messages into the songs? Are they going to play large cities? Small Cities? European Countries,Australia, Japan,Etc? Are they going to make it out of the studio? Is anyone going to be booted off of the list? Will anyone stay on the list? Will any of the deserters ever come back to the list?
