Well, there are consequences for every action we take as a musician, and it seems like most musicians today feel the need to follow the safe pattern, of failed relationships and sex drugs and rock and roll. But with Creed, the singer really taps into his brain, giving you more than the obvious aspects of the rock roll life, he gives you more than what you would expect, he gives you something about. I'll tell you, my previous girlfriend turned me onto this band, and at first I thought they were nothing special, just a Bon Jovi wannabe band, but once you get down to the heart of the mire, these guys really take pride in their position. They're not out there for all of the wrong reasons, their primary motivation isn't the whole rock and roll dream. The thing is, they believe in themselves, and they try their very best to get their overall message across to the public. Instead of giving them something that they know would naturally bring them success, they have taken many chances down hat road, and it has payed off..

Regardless on whether or not a band focuses on religion or politics, when it comes to their music, it would be refreshing to see more bands today who are willing to trust themselves instead of the played out idea of whats deemed acceptable, and what rock and roll is all about. So give this nband another wirl, nd when it comes to music, don't always rely on your imediate reaction...
