Well, that's at least SOME progress.
Just judging by how horribly that guy did when playing "Higher", I'd say that he probably couldn't even play an Alter Bridge song. I can't imagine him being able to play a song like ODR or FTR.
I still can't believe how badly that guy did with playing "Higher". Stapp's vocals were spot on. What ruined the song(besides it probably being a bit painful for those who were dead set against Stapp playing Creed songs) was that nobody in the backing band could play the song. I don't know how you could botch a song that badly when you're "musicians". Maybe they just did not practice the song(which was a huge mistake) or maybe it was just too tough for them. I hope that by the time that Stapp tours(which, at this pace, could be 2015), the backing band has their stuff together and can adequately play Creed songs. Otherwise, Stapp should just drop playing Creed songs all together.
