================================================ Subject: Re: ac/dc From: "Keith P. Mears" To: Date: Sat 3 Nov 2001 19:37:56 -0500 ================================================ I'd say that's a pretty accurate assessment of AC/DC, though quite frankly, I'd have to say that there's almost NO rock band that doesn't owe at least some homage to Black Sabbath AND Led Zeppelin. Without them, rock today would be an even more dismal scene than it currently is. Regarding the comparison to St. Augustine, I think you may be giving way too much credence to the theory that Creed ARE Christian rock. Whether they actually are or aren't is a matter that may well never be settled, but it's no secret that Scott does come from a DEEPLY religious home and family, so both the comparison and the thematic material are pretty much inevitable. As for your conviction that their work lacks technical merit and/or creativity, I would simply say that it's your opinion, and you're absolutely entitled to it, but I for one disagree. Is it on the level of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, or Metallica? Almost surely not, but VERY FEW bands ever reach that level. OTOH, is it the totally unoriginal tripe you would have us believe it to be? UNEQUIVOCALLY not. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marc Levitt" To: Sent: Saturday, November 03, 2001 7:12 PM Subject: ac/dc > It's interesting that you mention AC/DC.
