Well boys and girls, facts are facts , and it does not matter how much of a fan that you are, sometimes the truth just hurts! I am Creed nuts, traveling all over the country, spending lots and lots of money, but when the band or their management pulls the plug on an innocent webcast that all of the other bands permitted last night in L.A. at the KROQ event, I would say that is completely wrong. Then, there is the Billboard Awards show tonight that I almost went to in Vegas. The band is not playing Live tonight, but rather taped the performance from the top of a hotel in Vegas. Now wouldn't you be upset if you paid money to travel to Vegas and only got to see them on a video screen?

I really did not mean to bring a negative feel here, I just wanted to point out a few items of concern from my point of view.Thanks for reading and have a great evening. See ya!

1. Just because Creed's performance wasn't broadcast last night does not mean it was Creed's decision. The record company owns the rights to Creed basically and they have the say on what goes and what doesn't. They can ultimately decide whether or not a Creed performance can happen and whether or not it can be broadcast freely. You can't blame the band for (a) something you don't even know all the details for, and (B) something that the band might not have had any input in.

2. You know that the Billboard awards has one, or several, producers who decide how the show is put together. Creed doesn't say "Well if we don't get to record our performance on top of a building, then we won't play at all." The producers decide who will play, where it will happen, and how it will be put together. Again, you can't blame the band because it isn't their decision.

This is the problem with message boards like Creedpit in my honest opinion... everyone jumps to conclusions without even thinking. Yes you may be angry and all, but you don't start blurting out things you know nothing about. I'm not trying to put down Creedpit because it's a great site and there's a bunch of good people there. I'm just saying what happens on occasion that is uncalled for.

Also, I'm not saying that I'm right either. Maybe Creed did decide not to allow their performance to be webcasted. I'm just trying to state some facts on the situation. Bands have to follow according to their contract and their record label. So don't jump to harsh conclusions until you understand the whole situation.
