Just keep knocking back Tequila until you think they sound good

Bad idea, he'll probably get alcohol poisoning.

You can never know how good something is until you have a frame of reference for how bad it can be.

I saw Creed once.. They opened for the Tea Party (best canadian band ever!!) many years ago at Clutch Cargo in Pontiac Michigan..

I wasnt impressed.. and that was even before I (or maybe anyone) knew who they were..

Drink lots of drinks and try to have a good time!!

the people watching must be awesome....keep in mind these people paid hard US currency to see this band....you must ask some of them "Why?"...probably the same people who voted for Obama

I saw Creed in high school (pre 2000 1998? 99?) because it was the only concert my friend's extremely conservative parents would allow her to go to tells you what sort of crowd you might be in for :-)
You'll have an okay time because you seem to have a good attitude about things. Lemons and lemonade, ya know?

Oh and I think the disownment procedures only occur with those involving Nickleback.

saw them at a local annual radio festival back in 98. Feel better bro! Our Lady Peace and Foo Fighters played after, so not all bad. no worries.

Take some earplugs!

My 15 year old sister wants to see some new boy band called One Direction, so it could be much worse.

I appreciate all of the positive responses, everyone. I will definitely try to make the most of it. Although the last concert I saw at this particular venue was EV and Glen Hansard. But it sounds like the opening band is good, so I have that to look forward to. Having said that, maybe I'll start drinking now ...

A few of my PJ friends have sent me this:

I'll never forget when I saw them, a grown man in the front row kept holding his hat up all night long and finally Scott Stapp took it from him and put it on his head for a minute and then handed it back to the dude. I have never in my life seen a grown man jump up and down like a little girl who just met Justin Bieber. It was amazing and I almost pissed my pants laughing. But hey, whatever makes you happy.

So you've never been to a Pearl Jam show then?

i had the same scenario happen with my brother in law once. he took me to see Larry the Cable Guy. nothing could be worse than seeing Larry the Cable Guy. not even creed. and to make matters worse, contrary to your brother in law, my brother in law doesn't drink.

i did not laugh a single time the entire evening...and you can only imagine the type of crowd that an event like that draws.

nothing wrong with taking one for the team. maybe you guys will have a bonding experience.

Carrot Top comes pretty close

make a shirt that says " I actually listen to the real version of this crap." and on the back it could say pearl jam.

Yeah, that's right. I'm going to see Creed tomorrow night. And it's not the dude from The Office. I'm not proud of this at all but my brother-in-law got tickets and needed someone to go with him. Because it's my wife's brother, it's sort of a free pass for me to go out and get a little hammered in Chi-town without any consequences. Totally worth it, right?

Be sure to tell us how the show was, Judas

The concert wasn't as bad as I thought. The goose island certainly helped. Now of course I have Creed songs stuck in my head. The crowd was interesting, mostly an older crowd (40s or older). For whatever reason, the people weren't too friendly, though. My bro in law summed it up best when he said the trailer parks were empty that night. Hung out at Howl at the Moon afterwards with a lot of bachelorette parties, then had some fantastic pizza from somewhere I don't remember.
