At the Anaheim House of Blues for Starset.

I wish that I was able to see them on this tour. They are playing in Chicago the day before my morning final exam in Signals & Systems.

Dammit. Paralandra is playing in Madison on May 24 and I am not able to go.

EDIT: Well, they are playing in Streator, IL on August 3, and I can go. They are opening for Sevendust and Burden Of The Sky. Would I go just for Paralandra? That is a question yet to be answered.

Really nice work, Max and crumbso. Congrats!!

Thanks!

Song title rings a bell tho...

When I came up with the title back in 2018, I was not aware that Bruce Springsteen had a song of the same name.

Well, Bruce's song was a pretty obscure little known entry in the annals of the rock genre, so you're forgiven.

But as long as we're on the topic, some other pretty obscure little known song titles you might want to avoid in the future include Don't Stop Believing, Hotel California, and Bohemian Rhapsody.

Considering what the rest of your post says, I am not sure whether you mean this sarcastically or not. I genuinely did not know back then about the Bruce Springsteen song.

Well, duh.

I'm just trying to say that it's around that age that a female's looks degrade. So to be 39 yet look like mid to late 20's is impressive indeed.

A few months later, and Lzzy is finally starting to show signs of old age. Therefore, I have moved my celebrity crushing energy over to Faith Powell from Plush.

Harsh, dude.

Well, Faith would have been more age-appropriate to crush on in the first place.

When did this thread become Max's diary? Max, go buy a diary.

The cruise was the most amazing concert experience I have ever had. I crossed paths with LJ Witherspoon of 7D about 6 times, maybe more. We ran into each other so many times ... we started laughing, it was one of those supernatural unexplainable things, we just kept running into each other around every corner.

Creed playing live together is something every human on earth needs to experience at least once. There is something unexplainable about the chemistry those guys share when they all play music together.

There were some bad times and some good times on the vacation. I won't go into detail, but I do have a story. LOL... I am very happy with everything though; it was money and time well spent.

The picture with the band was amazing and to fist bump them was all "positive energy" exchanged. My picture turned out amazing. I blended right in.

I am excited to share that... I have a spot on the 2025 boat, and I am taking it. Unfortunately, my friends can't go this time because they are married and the husband got his drink card revoked on day 1, and he had to pay a $250.00 fine and is forever banished from Norwegian! He can never sail with them again. He got a little out of hand. (He was just super excited and had the premium drink package).

He feels really sad now that he can't go next year. His wife is really pissed at him.

Looks like I will be solo in 2025. I'm going anyway! I told them I will send them some great pictures!

I'm glad you had a really great time on the cruise, Mara. I really do. But something just bugs me pretty badly when people say the chemistry these guys have when they play music together is big or something along those lines and everyone needs to experience this. I see those comments and I go, "I don't know. I saw AB in Toronto and in Grand Rapids and in 3-4 other cities and those shows were the greatest times of my life," and I have to ask myself "Is seeing Creed really going to live up to those standards?" I respectfully don't think so.

anguyen, I think I know what Mara means. When I watched the live videos of Creed playing on the cruise it created an undeniable reaction in me - I thought, "they really look good together and Scott brings an ENERGY that has been lacking the last few times I've seen AB live".
Maybe it was because of the adrenaline. I hate to use the word boring, but AB's live shows just don't move me like they did even 10 years ago after I left them. I am not saying that AB doesn't have chemistry. My point is that to my eyes and ears it is different...and that's okay. I will not repeat everything I've said over the last 20 years about the two bands except that I am grateful we have BOTH of them.

^^ And that's great and all, but I'm looking for the "I don't want to be anywhere else in the world, but here" feeling that I always get with AB shows and no matter how much people are saying it, I know, personally, for sure that feeling ain't going to be it for Creed. I'll go see Creed in San Bernardino and get the ticket at some point (hopefully, it's part of the Live Nation $25.00 ticket deals they are doing this week), and I'll enjoy the show, but I know for sure, I'll be comparing my enjoyment of that Creed show to seeing Disturbed last year (which was my favorite concert of the year if it wasn't for the four AB shows I saw last year which is honestly untouchable).

Heck, I'm more excited about the prospect of a Myles solo tour than the Creed reunion. I know the reunion tour is going to be well-attended. I know the shows are going to be fine and everyone there watching the set and the videos on Youtube are going to be happy and the band is going to look energetic. There is just a certain great vibe I get from AB when they are touring and active (and they could look boring live to people all they want for all I care) that just makes me happy even if everything else in the world looks crappy for me.

I am a huge fan of AlterBridge and Creed. They are both very different and both absolutely wonderful. I became a fan back in the late 90’s of Creed and only saw them play Live on the recent cruise and was blown away. The energy from the crowd was amazing.
I’ve seen AB live many times and think they are also amazing. Each band has a totally different kind of energy. I can honestly say. I absolutely love both sounds for different reasons.

I found myself missing Myles and can’t wait for another AB album and concert. I will always support those guys and appreciate how much I learn and grow from their lyrics.

If it's my post, it is probably sarcastic.

I might have a shot if I become a famous rockstar like them....

Welp.

It has now happened to me five times in the last seven months that I was somewhat interested in a girl and was under the impression that she was single, only to find out that she already had a boyfriend. Furthermore, most of them have later told me, or at least implied, that they thought that I was just being friendly. Why does this keep happening?
