Ok, in one breath this guy says the influences on Creed were more hidden, yet he brings up the Eddie Vedder comparison. He's as guilty in his criticism of the same unoriginality he accused the band of. I mean, the Eddie Vedder comparison is soooo old. And why is it he can't be *messianic* as other more respected rockers can be, like Plant. I think he just read previous reviews and regurgitated a few with more current references. And I'm really taken aback about the Tremonti bashing. Mark's sound is one of the main reasons I like this band. I think he writes some good stuff.

Go get 'em DS!

Dogstar · 10-23-2002, 03:51 AM

He needs to be

Well, you could just start with a letter, but...hey, it's a free country - if you want to go straight to the problem - the pain in the ass, I say GO FOR IT!!!!

Dogstar · 10-23-2002, 04:15 AM

It's already done...now it's time for spanking!

So he mentions Vedder, Kravitz, Plant and Frampton in making comparisons to Creed, yet it disappointed in the performance? Have you ever heard Mark's guitar playing called "sludgy" before? This just sounds like a reviewer who is just pissed off because he had to reschedule his busy life twice for a concert postponement upon which the band had NO alternative option. Perhaps if Scott did go on with the performance with a back injury last winter or with obvious laryngitis this fall, the reviewer would've said nicer things?

Blah, blah, blah. More of the same. And I'll bet this critic couldn't take criticisms of his own unoriginality.

Its a complete load of shit to be honest.
More of the same.

Yeah Mark is one of the main reasons i like creed too.
Calling marks guitar work sludgy. Whatever. The guys pulling all this out his arse.

Def, he just regurgitated all the hooey that's been brought up before. Nothing original on his part, that's for sure.

TeriB19 · 10-24-2002, 11:51 PM

Nothing like regurgitating some hooey to really piss off a bunch of Creed fans. Maybe this "journalist" needs to go back and learn the art of concert reviewing.

Dogstar · 10-24-2002, 11:53 PM

Zactly. I think you were right earlier when you said he was probably pissed off because the rescheduled show screwed up his day.

Dogstar · 10-25-2002, 12:03 AM

And then some. It was one of the quickest diatribe's I ever rattled off.
