I don't post here often, but I do read the board from time to time. I just wanted to share...
I have to admit, the formal announcement brought tears to my eyes today. Creed has given me a lot as a person. Their music has helped me get through some difficult times, much like many of you. It's sad to see the end of an era, but I am thankful for what I was given. From the first time I learned about the band I was hooked in as a fan. I only got to see Creed in concert twice (once on the Human Clay tour with Full Devil Jacket and Collective Soul, and once on the Weathered tour with 12 Stones, Cinder, and Sevendust... At the Weathered tour, I had one of Mark's picks in my hands but had it forcibly taken from me. ) Both concerts were the experience of a lifetime and something I will never forget. The connection with the guys through their music is something that will never be duplicated. Thank you Scott, Mark, Scott, Brian, and Bret for everything you did for me. Good luck to each of you in your lives and with your future music projects. |

That in my opinion is the worst thing about the break up. Anyone can write music that touches people and slap them on a CD. But only a true artist can convey those feelings and emotions in a 6 minute window that has no rewind button and can only be experienced once. For example when I saw Creed for the last time in Houston, TX; Scott gave this huge speech before a song. Gave the entire crowd a 'warm-fuzzy', I hugged my girl. Then they played Torn and I was like - "Well thats new." So we are all rocking out to Torn and after the climax of the song, when it gets all calm, Scott goes - "To be honest with you, I thought we were going to play a different song." And we all loved that. Everyone laughed, everyone from the people in the lawn to Brett and Mark on stage. Then a couple songs later, he said that was meant for One Last Breath. Its the small things like that that make it all worth while. *sigh*

So true Dogstar. I have seen alot of bands in concert. Creed was one of the best. It was amazing to see them live. The music was amazing and Scott really knew how to put on a show.

You guys are right. Even though i didn't get to see them in concert i still have the memories and the happy moments it brought. I will never forget that. And it's not like they are dropping off the face of the earth. I can still hear stapps beautiful voice and marks awesome riffs along with flips drumming (and even brian's bass).

I also never got the chance to see Creed live. I am definitely going to see Alter Bridge on their tour and hopefully Scott too.

Tears... oh yes! Although it was almost clear... it hits hard to see it written black on white... just because there still was this tiny little hope. Hope for a miracle...
It hurts even more that I've never ever been able to see them play, sing, walk, talk, laugh, ROCK live! I cherish the things we know now about the near future... AB debut-CD, Scott's new music, Anthology with perhaps some unreleased stuff... Those things keep me going... maybe I will experience Alter Bridge AND Scott Stapp live on stage here in Holland... one day! *crosses her fingers* Came here to feel the warmth among the fans... I was feeling kinda sad! Love you all!!! Without the past there would be NO future!!! ROCK ON guys!!
