Then don't sign it.

It's already got attention. The band knows it exists.
Unforgiven isn't even on the setlist anymore, thankfully.
The tempo is slightly better in recent shows.

But, from a realistic standpoint, Creed will die out if they don't keep fans interested. With all these new people discovering Creed for the first time, it would be a shame for them to discover the band playing so poorly, if it's their first string of Creed shows. Why on earth would you waste money on a band that sucks live? You wouldn't.

Anyone who has never seen the Creed pre-breakup, wouldn't understand the magnitude of the problem. They were untouchable live. 2009's performances were mediocre in comparison, and I'm not just talking vocals.

If they come out and say they had rather play fast, then so be it.
But it is not a personal choice to play fast.....it's a problem.
They don't choose to play lightning fast. It's easy to get carried away in live shows. It's extremely easy to play too fast or too slow if you haven't played in a while. The more they play, hopefully, the better they will get.
With such short amounts of time they have in their schedules, it's hard to get back into the perfect groove.

Forgive me if I'm too fond of what I know they can be capable of.
But let's not pretend the band would rather play at 2x the speed.
Brian actually said recently, that it was a "drummer" error.
