Creed had Nickelback open the shows in 2000 with Sevendust. That is why Sevendust has always given Creed respect. Creed exposed BOTH bands to mainstream national audiences. Nobody had barely even heard of Nickelback prior to touring with Creed except for their local following in Canada. They had one song on the radio.... Leader of Men. After that, Nickelback exploded with popularity. And yes, they did put on a great show and had some great songs that nobody had heard.
Interesting note: They don't even play that single during their live shows anymore. I saw Nickelback on Aug 29th at the Gorge in WA, I couldn't believe they played nothing off their first album The State. Not Leader of Men or Breath. Sell out F*ckers!!!
