I went to see the world's most hated bands party like it's 1999
EAST TROY, Wis. — In the spirit of full disclosure: I was once a Creed fan. I strummed and sang along to songs from 'My Own Prison' and 'Human Clay' but never quite mastered the tougher licks. So more than a quarter-century later — a few lifetimes removed from a teenage youth full of JNCO jeans and burned CDs — I traveled to an amphitheater outside Milwaukee to see if there's any joy to be drawn from nostalgia, or if this school of rock has simply curdled like Wisconsin dairy products in the summer sun.

Fury as 2 security guards suspended after being ‘heavy handed' trying to detain shoplifting asylum seeker
TWO security guards have been suspended this week after being 'heavy-handed' as they tried to detain an asylum seeker shoplifting thousands of pounds worth of goods. The department store employees detained the crook attempting to flee with two bottles of Creed, an £845-a-bottle cologne. 2 Police were called to the Oxford Street department store but did not attend Credit: Getty 2 The suspension of two security guards comes after The Sun watched asylum seekers shoplifting in luxury department stores across London Credit: Ian Whittaker Police were called to Oxford Street but did not attend, so he was released after four hours. It comes after The Sun revealed yesterday asylum seekers leave taxpayer-funded hotels in London to target the West End. We watched organised gangs exit Liberty in London with luxury items. A source last night told how the guards, who have both worked at a security firm for over seven years, are under investigation.

Now they've been suspended and I don't think they'll get their jobs back.' Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: 'Security staff putting themselves in harms way should not be suspended for doing their job. 'It is a disgrace that these illegal migrants are raiding shops in central London and returning to their taxpayer funded hotels.' After being tipped off by a security firm, we watched as organised gangs exited Liberty in London with alarm-dodging bags of luxury items. They carried bags lined with tin foil that stop security tags from going off when leaving stores. The Met Police said there will be 'increased patrols' in London over the summer.

The Home Office said shoplifters will have their immigration status reviewed if convicted.
