okay....let me see if I can get this right....you guys are complaining because three doors sounded like shit when you saw them...or complaining that they walked off stage at the KROQ show.

Let me tell you, I was on tour with the band for three months and saw close to 40+ shows. Pretty much every show was great. However, what you have to take into consideration is that they are humans, not superhumans or robots, or cartoons. They do get tired, make mistakes and have their bad days (as do the sound crew). The Creed shows might have sucked because they had just ended a 5 or so month tour of their own, and jumped right into the creed tour. That tour had very little days off.

I distinctly remmeber mentioning to their road manager that they were supposed to be playing a radio show in Boston a few days after their show with Creed in Mansfield, MA. He mentioned that by playing that show, the band had 8 days in a row performing...and Brad would have no chance to rest his voice. He seemed worried. This rigerous schedule might have been the cause of problems on the Creed tour.

Re: the KROQ show, well, just look at a tour schedule on Pollstar.com and see how hectic there tour has been. They got off their own two month tour, went to Europe, in the middle of that they had to fly to Vegas to do the BMA'a and then fly back to finish the tour of Europe. They got back from Europe and had to do the KROQ show. I don't know how many of you have traveled, but jet lag SUCKS!!! and it really drains you. If you don't have ample time to rest up, your system is completely screwed up.

So give them a break, like a said they are human. Try and see them again if you have an opportunity give them another chance to dazzle you.
