>>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.
