| Creed and Crue Fest |
Let me start by saying that I was skeptical about Creed. I bought the ticket mainly because it was cheap and something to do. I am not now, nor was ever a big fan. And, they proved me wrong.
The powerful vocals of Scott Stapp probably didn't even need a microphone to carry itself across the venue. Absolutely amazing... Eric Friedman is a touring guitarist and not only was he good, but he is also very down to earth....follow him on twitter : @IIEROCKII I really quite enjoyed the show, and am not disappointed that I saw them, and truly think that we can expect great things from Creed in the future. Welcome back to the music, Creed.
Now, onto Crue Fest 2:
Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control, I was unable to see all of the bands associated with Crue Fest 2. I did, however, get to see Godsmack and Motley Crue.
Godsmack put on an AMAZING show. Excellent drum solo/duet, excellent stage show, and they didn't miss anything. Absolutely perfect execution of every song.
Motley Crue on the other hand, well.... It was great to watch them live, they are, after all, legendary; first there was a rumor here that Tommy Lee wasn't even planning on showing up. Then he DID show up. That shows me that Crue is really a synonym for the words "publicity whores". Then, I mean granted, it is THEIR music; and, I am sure somehow that gives them the right to perform it any way they want. But, Vince has a real bad habit of skipping lyrics here and there. Is it cockiness, ignorance, or just the plain fact that maybe, just maybe, they have become or are becoming has beens?
As for the musical end of it, they band itself played pretty good.
I do carry the joy of knowing I can say "Hey, I saw Crue LIVE". Again, remember, they ARE legendary, however, to be honest, if it weren't for the accompanying bands on the tour, I wouldn't have spent the money. And it only cost $10.
