Pay heed to Creed at Mohegan Sun

You say you don't like Creed? You possibly even HATE Creed?

Well, the 10,000 people who bought tickets to see their Saturday show in the Mohegan Sun Arena don't care about you. Neither do the 40-million who have bought any or all of the four Creed studio albums.

Yes, your derision and scorn once puzzled and angered Creed - particularly lead vocalist Scott Stapp. Now, though? The older, wiser Stapp has figured out that 40-million fans are worth a lot more than some egghead whining about The Fall.

Creed is front-loading the set list with material from "Human Clay" and "My Own Prison," but every phase of their recorded career will be represented.
