ONE love, blood, life
I got this from Blamo.org:
There was a moment near the end of KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas that should give hope to serious rock fans. The two-night, sold-out affair came to a close Sunday night (Dec. 8) with a headlining set by Southern rock juggernaut Creed. Midway through the opening song, Scott Stapp's microphone went silent. The singer stormed offstage, and the crowd erupted in round of boos, but then something even more unexpected happened: the Universal Amphitheater audience began to chant for Coldplay, who had just wrapped an impressive 40-minute set.
Creed was ready to go after a five-minute break, but when it was apparent Coldplay would not be returning, the crowd of about 6,000 departed, leaving Creed to play to a practically empty amphitheater. Radio programmers take heed: rock fans have a voice. If the massive L.A. crowd is any indication, it isn't saying Creed, Disturbed, or P.O.D. The latter two acts had the misfortune of closing out Saturday night's show, with P.O.D.'s guitarist Marcus Curiel pleading to the rapidly thinning crowd that "traffic isn't that bad."
