Certainly not.. Bruce got tons of nominations for his album at several important prices. The rising is selling OK i guess (don't know the actual sales in or outside the us). But it is Jon his own opinion. Jon likes bands like Creed (he stated that a couple of times).

I don't know for America, but here in Holland Creed is just 'one of the many Pearl Jam rip offs'. So i respect his opinion, but i hope Jon (and the rest of the band) will show up at the Bruce concert in Holland for a jam session :P
