Post-grunge rock bands Creed and Staind recently played at the New Orleans Arena. Psychologists were on-standby, in case people still reeling from the effects Hurricane Katrina were pushed over-the-edge from the awful effects of these bands' terrible.
"It's a great honor to be playing in this city," lead singer of Creed Scott Stapp said. "We're working to spread the message of our Lord all over. I believe Creed's sole message is to encourage morality and wholesomeness in the youth." He then excused himself to go snort coke from a groupie's back.
This is after the band had previously broken up. Loyal fans of the band (all five of them) recount with sad tears in their eyes how the band has dissolved in 2004.
We caught up with one such fan a while back. Trevor Motgunne, a 15 year old with a crucifix necklace, was practicing his bass guitar in his bedroom as he recounted that fateful day. "I remember reading online that Creed had broken up. I was sad. I mean, where else was I gonna hear an alternative band sing the praises of Jesus? Then I turned on the radio and heard Puddle of Mudd and Nickelback playing, and everything was fine. That was because I actually thought it was Creed, but that's besides the point."
Also joining the reformed band was multi-platinum selling band Staind. Countless teenagers in ridiculous Tripp pants are expected to shell out their parent;s money to head to the Arena to view Staind playing. Aaron Rogers, thebald frontman for the band, was excited to be plaing. "I heard there's a lot of bars down here, and I look forward to drowning out my teen angst in alcohol here!"
Well said, Aaron, well said.
