re: Creed tour

Fair enough.

However, I’d wager that your point is based on the assumption that these bands have not been able to create new music that is on par with their better known material. And in many cases that happens to be true.

But in Creed’s situation, I’d like new music if & only if they are able to recapture that classic sound. Mark himself has admitted in interviews that he’d like to get back to that sound because in hindsight he realizes that Full Circle strayed too far from what Creed is.

There’s a soundcheck video on YouTube from their tour in 2012 where they’re rehearsing a new song called “Shackle My Pride.” The audio isn’t the best, but it has that style that classic Creed was known for.

Better yet, have you listened to the demo “More Than This?” It was featured on the WAWO retrospective Creed put out in 2015. That song sounds like a hit, albeit the lyrics and song structure need a little polishing.

If Creed can create music like that then I say do it. Entice your fans with music they’ll love, both old classics and newer hits. When you’ve gone viral and fans are lining up to see you, it would be a waste not to.
