Creed Dumps 12 Stones

Steve · 10-22-2002, 10:09 PM

Looks like Creed has dumped 12 Stones from their tour now and added Stereo Fuse.... sweet!! I don't really care for 12 Stones (wasn't impressed with them this summer). I'm betting this was a Wind-up Records decision as Stereo Fuse is releasing their first CD very soon and what better way to promote it then by touring with Creed!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I really like 12 Stones, but it's all good. I think they've made some headway thanks to the tour.

Sorry Steve...But I think that SUCKS!! I really like 12 Stones!! I thought they put on a very high energy show!! Really got people in the mood to ROCK!! Not that Creed couldn't do it on their own though!!!

I truely love 12 Stones... a lot of their music hit home for me. Just because Creed drops them doesn't mean I will.

Amen.

Still, all good things must come to an end.

12 Stones has some great songs... it's just that their performance didn't hit me very much... they did have energy, but the singer screamed too much... he's got a pretty good voice, he should have used it more IMO. I don't care for bands that scream through half their set.

I still think they put on a great show, but that's a legitimate gripe. When I first got the CD back in May, I was like, "Well, these guys are really, really good, but a lot of the screaming is out of place in their songs." But then it grew on me.

I had never heard anything by 12 Stones until I saw them open for Creed in Camden, NJ. The one thing I distinctively remember is the amount of screaming the lead singer did. I know they were full of energy and really connected with the fans, but I don't like a lot of screaming. To me that's not very entertaining.

That's the same reason why I dislike Sevendust live... Sevendust has some great songs as well, but in concert I couldn't understand Lajon because all he did was scream.

luvscott4ever · 10-22-2002, 11:29 PM

I hear you both, Steve & Teri...I'm not one for the screamers either, never have been...I do enjoy His voice too...when he wasn't screaming...I never have understood that...(screaming) but for me, he could get away with it...lol...

TeriB19 · 10-22-2002, 11:30 PM

I have enough screaming going on in my house with the two kids, I don't need to pay money to hear somebody scream a song at me.:P

Well, I am glad I am not the only one that had similar feelings about 12 Stones, and here I just thought it was my silver hair

To me, their songs all sounded so sugary and similar. And as for 7 dust, I thought Lajon did have some slower movements too and was great with the crowd - but, NO ONE COMES CLOSE TO....,

I liked 12 Stones and their energetic show. The lead singer did scream a bit, and he does have a nice voice. He doesn't really need to do all that screaming. I like the CD, even though the middle of it does get lost in some similar sounding songs, but there are a few tracks worth the 10 bucks I spent on it. I think it's a decent first effort. Not a big Sevendust fan, and don't know much about Stereo Fuse. I'll have to check them out.

I think Dogstar pretty much feels the exact same way I do. The singer's got a good voice and he doesn't need to scream, but it doesn't turn me off either. Anyway, if anyone's willing to give at least one more 12 Stones song a try, definitely check out "My Life." That's probably my favorite song on the CD.

Dogstar · 10-23-2002, 01:05 PM

I love that one, too, but I think my favorite is Open Your Eyes. I like the quirky cadence in it.
