================================================ Subject: Re: [ Creed Discuss ] Here's a question From: "Tara" To: "The New Improved Less Lame List" Date: Fri 5 Jul 2002 13:35:53 -0400 ================================================ You have to go listen to American Pearl. I'm sure Scott can send you some MP3s if you want them. I think they're great - not as heavy as 12 Stones, but just straight up rock. And they're incredibly nice in person, very fan-oriented, which counts for a lot with me. I have a hard time supporting a band full of jerks. Go! Listen to AP! Then let me know what you think of them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandy Carter" To: "The New Improved Less Lame List" Sent: Friday, July 05, 2002 11:34 AM Subject: Re: [ Creed Discuss ] Here's a question With Wind-Up, I worry particularly about 12Stones. I wonder if WU depends too much on the street teams, thinking that Creed reached their level of success by gathering fans on a grass roots level? From what I understand, Creed did some smart touring in the beginning. Unfortunately, the powers that be don't seem to realize that Creed's success formula might actually benefit fledgling bands. In my opinion, 12Stones is an example of one of their potentially successful band. The talent is there, especially with Eric, but there's some work to be done. Is it just me, or does Paul need some pointers about stage presence? And their video is unspeakably awful. I have not heard about some of the other bands mentioned, like American Pearl. And Scott, if it weren't for you, I would never have discovered 12Stones. Get the man a paycheck!
