Hi, Barry, I see this is your first post on CF board, so I will try to be polite. Welcome aboard. It's been a rough year for the band, we know about the sequence of health problems/accident which has lead to the cancellations and created some frustrated fans which lead to partially filled venues. These are rough times for the group. Media has been a major diss too. Personally, I love OLB! GREAT ballad, lyrics - powerful message, and healing. As for Scott in the leather pants - (sorry, too distracted to comment)...and the line about "none of the kids think Creed is cool anymore" - NONE?!! What kids? Yours? Yes, MOP is fantastic - different time and emotional space for the band, they have changed and evolved, so has their music. I raise my hands high as a Creed Fan! I am sure others will give you more constructive criticism and may support your views.

Again, welcome!
