    Bingo !
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    I know this won't happen, but kind of like an AIC thing, or Blind Melon. If it was still Mike,Jeff,Matt, and Stone.. but a new singer would take his place. Id have to say no, you can't replace Ed.

    if Mike, Stone, Jeff, or Ed leave it's over, in fact if Matt leaves it most likely is over now. AIC should have reformed as something else, they still could have covered AIC songs....

    It would all depend on the singer. I love the rest of the guys too, but it just wouldn't sound right to hear somebody else covering the material. Hearing the Linkin Park guy sing Hunger Strike with Cornell makes me realize even more how "wrong" that would be.

    Let's just quit thinking about shit like this!

  • i haven't seen them since 2003, and i don't plan on seeing them again. does that mean i'm not a "true" fan?

    No, that makes you a 'true' Creed fan.

    Any reason why you don't plan on seeing them again?

    Pearl Jam is not Pearl Jam without Ed. That's all there is to it. You didn't see Nirvana go on without Kurt...same goes with Ed.

    The voice is just too distinctive.

    Couldn't do it, it would be far to depressing. Maybe if the other guys formed a new band.

    I have to say no. it would be like eating a peanut butter & jelly sadwich without the jelly. enjoyable? yes, but I would always long for the real thing.

    Hell who am I kidding, I would pay 3X face from scalpers to see the rest of the guys just like I did for Eddie.

    ...but I wouldn't fly cross country to see them :)

    where do you work out at?
    Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...
  • No, because the minute he left PJ would cease to be
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

  • So...

    If EV was to leave, and the guys wanted to continue on, who would be a good pick as replacement?
    I'll end up alone like I began...
