Creed is the epitome of all their songs sound the same. Pretty much like Nickelback 2.0

While I am not a huge Creed fan, it reminds me of better days with Rock 93.9 and more simple times before iPhones and social media.

@ 9:18

then keep your ass at home, there were quite a few of us in the 40-45 age demographic who loved all of these acts (including nickelback).

Finally. A concert where you don’t have to have a cowboy hat and spit cup to get in!

That's planning ahead. Good job by the amphitheater booking group.

My Own Prison was and still is, an unbelievable album. Even though this is technically grunge, Mark Tremonti shreds throughout with long solos. For the most part, "grunge" bands never did that, with the exception of Alice in Chains, but I have never really considered them "grunge" anyway.

Yes. Because new country doesn't "all sound the same". (eyeroll) You can't listen to Miss103 for 20 mins without hearing a song about whiskey. You can add any music since 2010 into that statement. I was picking at my kids the other day because they were listening to a "new band" (really one dude) called NF... and it is a straight rip off of Imagine Dragons who also rip off Coldplay.

@11:06

I always considered Creed a Nu Metal band. It kinda is its own thing though, not really grunge and not really nu metal. I'd still like to see them. Tremonti drunk, with Covid, and no fingers still beats listening to the "music" of today.

Shoot. I thought a new Rocky movie had come out.

9:32 & 1:23, I am 9:18. I am also 40. That doesn't mean their music doesn't all sound the same. I also agree that today's bro country all sounds the same as well, it's called auto-tune. See, we can agree and disagree all at the same time. Now that that's out of the way, I'm going to go listed to Taylor Swift...

They no longer create country music. You have no talent, singers screeching out uninspired songs. Most of all, there's no fiddle, and steel guitar. I remember the days when God given talent would make the hair stand up on your neck. Now days, not so much.

I will go see Creed.
I would go see Smashmouth.
I would probably even go see Insane Clown Posse too, just for that 90s nostalgia.

I’m 42 year old millennia and have a grand baby!

YES!

Can you take me higher?

I just hope they will stick to the classics. I dont care if they play some songs more than once.

I hope you went to see Willie Nelson when he was here last month......

No, no, I didn't go see Mr. Nelson, when he was here. Mr. Nelson backslid back in the early 1970s and no longer uses a steel guitar. He fell out with Mr. Jimmy Day, who was playing the steel at that time, and he replaced the steel with the harmonica.

Now, I don't have anything against harmonica players, I'm sure they're good people. Don't get me wrong, a harmonica can add something to the overall sound, but it isn't a steel guitar, or a fiddle.

I'm not trying to take away from Mr. Nelson's career. His career stands on its on merits, and I surely don't want to demean Mr. Nelson. If GOD would grant him the grace to pray through again, and Mr. Nelson should add a steel guitar, or a fiddle, then I might, would venture out to see him. Seeing as how he, and I, are no longer young, that's probably not happening.

So is Scott Stapp still with them? If not, this Creed will be CINO (Creed In Name Only).

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
