I listen to all kinds of music. It just seems to me that when I choose to
listen to the radio, I have to hear Higher or Arms Wide Open every half hour.
MOP is on of my all time favorite recordings and I do still listen to it with
more frequency that any other record (oops, I mean cd!! I don't want to date
myself here). In fact when that cd first surfaced, I was living in Bradenton
Florida and 98 rock in Tampa was one of the first stations in the country to
play it... I immediately baught and learned the entire cd and my band at the
time (I am a drummer) added My own Prison, what's this life for and Ode to
our set list. This happened before the album had sold the first 50,000
copies. We did this not knowing if the band was going to be successful or
not, but choose to believe that we did our part to get their music out to the
people.
I am a Creed fan and I feel that the questions asked in Scotts lyrics are
very though provoking and the music from the rest of the band gives you a
reason to listen to what Scott is saying. Scott Phillips is a great drummer
and although he is not a very technical player, his parts help define what
Creed is..... Look at me ramble on!!! I'll stop now. You all have a nice
day!!!
