================================================ Subject: Re: Review From: "creed -7m3 - live" To: Date: Sat 13 Oct 2001 22:00:52 -0400 ================================================ That is funny that you mentioned the secret formula motive. According to some rumors. the reason that they decided against replacing the bass player had to disrupt the band. But it didn't make sense.the band was disrupted. they lost a bass player. Doing without an integral part of the band is sort of like driving without brakes or steering. To me they should have at least auditioned players. It reminds me of when my brother drove a car to the auto store to get brakes. He ended up driving into the automotive store. Why he didn't walk down to get the parts surprises me. Creed without a bass player strikes me as similar. Using the emergency brake is not dependable.Just as filling in the bass with those talented for other purposes is not strategically wise.
