Lee, I can't agree with you more. When we saw 12Stones, we were a little quiet at first because we weren't quite sure about what to expect. But if you know their songs and dance a bit, have fun with it, they do notice you in the crowds and they will tell you they do when you go to meet them. They are some truly genuinely nice guys, so appreciative of any support.

To those of you seeing them in the future with Creed, especially watch Eric, the lead guitarist. He is incredibly talented. His guitar solos are intricate and quite impressive, but he is laid back and doesn't draw a lot of attention to himself. You also have to remember that these guys are 20-22, Eric being the oldest, and this is their first time touring. They were only together for 7 months when they got a record deal, so to think that they put such a solid sound together really makes me see how much more potential they have. I recommend reading the interviews on their web page about what the songs mean and what they are about and you'll find they are a refreshingly positive band. Do a bit of research before the concert, listen to the CD. It's one of my favorites, and that's not just now, but for all time. The only critique I have is Paul does a lot of screaming on the CD, and less of that wouldn't hurt my feelings.
