"In most tribal societies there was some sort of right that marked your change in status among the members of your community. Whether it was your first buffalo hunt; ritual scarring; or a vision quest you would step through the door never to return. It was given a certain amount of respect and contemplation. I, for one, didn't give graduating highschool or college any thought at all. I walked onto the stage, shook the hands, and walked off. It's not all that life changing when there are hundreds of people before and after you, and you have to hand some schmuck a card so they can mispronounce your name."

So this is cool and sad. I loved Creed. They were a part of my life for a number of years. Althought I havent been listening to them as much the last few years they are still important to me. Good news is Tremonti is moving on with Phillips and Marshall. Tremonti is my favorite guitarist. I so hope this new band rocks.
