Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

flip confirms it in this interview:
http://www.borderrock.com/5Detours/A...779/Creed.aspx

this will definitely be the full circle tour, with majority of songs from new album!
he says overseas tours coming in canada, australia, new zealand, and parts of europe...
i like when he said this will not be creeds final album...so many more great creed years to come!
CREED IS HERE TO STAY baby! :D

(looks like it'll be a summer tour with AB then... still getting both bands so its all good!)

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

Tour to New Zealand! Yes! Can't wait... so I'm guessing he means U.S springtime?

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

hmm, what does this mean for stapp solo album? Myles could go on tour with creed and alter bridge could open for creed.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

I don't see how the 3 guys would last on the tour playing for 3 hours every night.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

Led Zeppelin did it for years. Particularly, post 1973 tours. If they can do it in their later days, why can't these guys?

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

yah, I see your point. flip would be exhausted.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

I preferred Creed over AB anyways. I'd much rather have Creed back.

But I'm excited for the new tour. I told them when I met them in Salt Lake City that they need to come back to Idaho. I hope they do!

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

YES! COME TO CANADA!

I've been waiting 10 years to see Creed!

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

the idea of them not being able to play "3 hours a night" is just rediculous. everyone else in the world works 8 hours a day 5 days a week for their entire life, some people do very hard psychical labor and whatnot... your telling me a band can't stand up on stage and play music for 3 hours a night? its not even every night and theyd only have to do it for a few months. with the exception of flip their all in pretty good psychical shape (hes kinda packed on some pounds lately) im sure they could do it. plus if its alter bridge and creed that means that myles and stapp only have to sing one set a night not two, and singing would be the roughest part of that because it would be hard not to blow out your voice.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

I absolutely agree with that. It's definitely doable. And I can see how Flip has put on a few pounds, but when I met them last weekend, he still looked to be in pretty good shape. Of course, that may just be because I'm fat. lol.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

They also do a soundcheck, meet with fans, conduct interviews with radio stations, probably write some music, and are on the road for a few months straight. I'm sure it's exhausting (mentally and physically) and they work more than 3 hours every other day.

It's every bit as exhausting as those who do hard labor and then go home to their own bed every night, but it's different work.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

So obviously none of you have even an inkling of how much energy is required to put on even a mediocre live performance?

Just doing a straight play, meaning no singing dancing or running around a stage, for an hour is mentally and physically exhausting.

I'm not saying this to diminish physical laborers, but that is a very different kind of stress and energy.

3 hours a night of two totally different kinds of music, running around on stage, sound checks, any media obligations, fan meet and greets, etc., and imo this requires far more total energy than any 8 hour job.

I've sat at a desk for 8 hours a day and i've performed and i've worked physical labor jobs, performance requires the most total energy (mental and physical).

So no, i would not wish a 3 hour performance of two different styles of music more or less every day on top of the travel stress on 3 members of the band, they'd burn out, even over a shorter duration tour.


It'd be one thing if they did a special concert or 3-4 performances that way, but a standard set of an hour and a half is exhausting once a night, thinking that it's nothing to just double or triple that because they aren't lifting cement bricks all day is just naive and uninformed.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

COME TO THE UK!

Seeing Creed live would make my year!

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

man im really glad i stuck to moving furniture a few years back then... good thing i was doing that and not playing music in front of thousands of people who wanna hear my songs, or ...SOUNDCHECKS *dun dun dun*.... soundchecks sound terrible... what with standing there and all.. and uh... you know hitting notes on a guitar.... wowza. the part about meeting with fans to sign autographs and have drinks sounds really hard as well... everyone knows getting hammered and talking to a bunch of girls who wanna have sex with you is a terrible way to make a ton of money... OH WAIT, its not

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

I think creed should do a world tour another time. Maybe for their fifth album. I still like alter bridge and stapps solo stuff.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

I want to hear a couple of those new songs Stapp sang live about a year ago.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

What are you? 12?

I'm a sound tech, and I can tell you that working in any type of live event, puts unmeasureable amounts of pressure on all who are involved.

Think about the crews that have to spend all day long, hooking up the lights and setting the stage up, making sure the board is connected properly, doing dry tests to make sure all the pyro and lights are working, and doing SOUNDCHECK to make sure ungreatful little kids like you, can actually get a decent quality sound and show out of it all.

And then AFTER the show, they have to take everything down, and pack everything up and head to the next town to do the same thing. And they virtually get little to no credit for their work.

And then there's the band. A band like Creed have dozens of media obligations, personal pressure, industry pressure, pressure from the label, pressure from the FANS, pressure from their FAMILIES, and a demand to perform at their very best, almost each and every single
night while on tour. They have to prepare themselves for the backlash that the media might give them over a bad show, and for the very real possibility that something might go wrong and cause a cancellation.

Because, let's face it......we all know how well you could take it, having YOUR name and face on the cover of every magazine, telling people about how bad you screwed up at a show the night before. Because, if something small goes wrong, thousands of people will turn it into an ordeal that won't be forgotten within the next 10 years.

Working in the music industry is the farthest thing from easy, unless you're doing it for a hobby and have no desire to become largely successful. It's just a once in a lifetime oppurtunity you'd have
to be insane to pass up. It's still a job. And the pressure they face is no different from the pressures we face each and every day. They are human beings, they're just in the eyes of the media.

They have to work every bit as much as we do, especially if they care about their fans, in order to become a successful act in the music industry. The only difference is, their job platform allows them to market to millions of people, therefore earning them millions of dollars
in the process.

If you can dream it, you can live it.
Some of us get the chance, some don't.
But don't think for a second that just because they are loaded with cash, doesn't mean they don't work for their fans.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

They're already posted.....the closest they come to New York, is PA.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

Maybe she'll realize I'm kidding, before she blows her voice out by screaming at the computer screen for hours....

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

yeah, some of them sounded pretty good.He left his solo band behind lol

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

I wonder how they felt about the Creed reunion, just getting dropped like that.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

hi im 12 years old and i move furniture for a living.
im sorry but your rant was just awful. i will never ever feel sorry for famous rock stars. ever. ever. is your rant about rock stars or stage tech? because you kinda just ranted about both. you should take a creative writing course at your local community college.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

i really hate to say this but isn't a spring tour the result of this current one not being so successful? you could argue their doing it because the current tour is successful but from what ive heard most of the venues they've played were 1/3 full. i'm not sure if they sold out any of their shows, maybe the houston one that was a good show it looked pretty packed as well.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

Why would they do a 2nd tour if no one came to the first?

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

Really wouldn't doubt it, mate.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

Im 12 years old. What is this? lmao

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

because the first one didnt make any money? i dont know durrrrr

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

\

josha called me a 12 year old, after i posted my views on bands having an easy time compared to people like myself who actually work hard for a living.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

Maybe it's to promote Full Circle which comes out after the first tour?

With respect (very little), you're a douchebag. Do you think your cool because you're starting arguements on every thread. You aren't winning any of these arguements...

For all the people in this thread confused about AB... AB has promised a new album in 2010. Then in Spring Creed will tour, either before or after the Creed tour Alter Bridge will tour.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

No, it's a meme. Have you ever gone to /b/?...nevermind. Lets keep that site out of it.

:)

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

If the product doesn't sell, you don't go out and sell it all over again - you change it, can it, whatever. My point is that if this first tour "didn't make any money" then Creed would be done and there would be no 2nd tour...durrrrr

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

can someone post the dates?
________
Buy iolite vaporizer

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

No dates yet.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

Any idea on how long it usually takes for the dates to get posted?

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

This thread is wildly entertaining.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

It certainly is. lol Especially the part about creed going on a second tour because of low ticket sales. Like any band would have that option. Not gonna happen. Anyway, I can't wait till the dates are announced too.

Re: Creed SPRING TOUR 2010! (confirmed)
 

Hello, My names Creediscool17, and I'm furniture moving alcoholic......Oh wrong forum.

I'm amazed at the level of speculative stupidity displayed on this site. If you don't like Creed, go to another band site that you do like. As earlier stated, the Spring tour is to support the new album (CD). They only played one or two songs from the new album during the Fall mini tour. My brother went to the Indianapolis concert and said it was packed and they were awesome and he's not even a huge fan. The fact that you move furniture for a living and probably chose not to get a higher form of education to avoid doing manual labor has nothing to do with the facts that Josha made in his post. I'm certain bands and all the people that work in the background you never see, work their ass off to pull off a show each night.

I wouldn't want the life of a Rock Star. I just want their great music.

Oh, and I'm sure you're not 12 working for a living. I've moved 6 times (6 states) in the last 14 years with my job and if you showed up to move my furniture, I'd turn you ass right back around. You couldn't lift my nightstand.
