Everything that's on Bounce is nicked from other artists. Creed, Linkin' Park, Elton John, Bob Dylan. Jon tried to put it all in one record but failed. It's not because it's the downtuning, it's the sound Jon went for, and since I ****ing despise Creed with their sound and songs I ****ing despise The Distance as well. It's a lame attempt at riding the Creed hype that was going on back then.

And Noel Gallagher always admits it every time when he's ripped off another band. He's known for it and accepts and admits it every time.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan
Finally, someone who hates Bounce because of its Creed influenced songs. I agree wholeheartedly. That is why I don't like the album. The Distance and Hook Me Up are gay 2nd rate Creed songs, and Creed is already gay to begin with.

Again, all due respect, have you ever listened to Creed?

I think the question is more like if you've ever listened to Creed.

Salaam Aleikum,

Sadly, I used to be obsessed with them.
I still have all three albums, and the Greatest Hits.
Don't listen to them much, if at all any more. But there was a time when I was mega into them.

That must've been your gay period then. You were probably into guys as well.

I like the studio version quite a bit, but I wouldn't wanna hear it live. there's SO many other good songs instead

Yes I have, and therefore I concluded the gayness of their music.
Now, that spinoff band, without the stupid singer of Creed, that one is decent.

Alrerbridge are indeed class, and a different kettle of fish alltogether.

Funny saying that, kettle of fish. Good name for a band that.

I never understood why people like this song. The riff is kinda interesting and that's about it. The song lacks any power whatsoever. There is only one song from Bounce that the band should play regularly, and it was (thankfully) played the other night.
