The CREED Thread

I was a Creed fan once...once being the primary word in this post.

It's kinda like Mad TV said...



Pretty much somes up the late 90's/early 00's pop rock bands.
 
To carry on the discussion on the first page, I wish SOAD would reunite again. I never got a chance to see them live. :csad:

Lawl, the coolest tour ever: Serj and SOB with SOAD headlining. :up:
 
There have been reports of this nature on and off ever since Alter Bridge formed. This is nothing new. Every single one of them have been false, and Alter Bridge have fiercely refuted any ideas of Creed ever getting back together. Tremonti has said that, "this is the band we want to retire with".

I'm pretty skeptical. It just doesn't make sense, it's unnecessary, and Alter Bridge themselves have yet to say anything about this at all.

There was a reason the bassist left in the middle of Creed's career, only to be followed by literally the rest of the band. They needed to get away from Scott, and it just doesn't make sense that they would think it's a good idea to reunite now--with Blackbird being as well received as it is.
 
Creed sucks. A bunch of Christian lyrics by a guy who's an enormous hypocrite on almost every level, and a band that can't play. Seriously, I hope they get back together, and then all die in a plane crash.

That's simply not true...go and get a listen/watch some of Mark Tremonti's solo stuff and guitar lessons.

They're probably the most underated band right now even if it sounds like a hyperbole...just because the singer was acting like an idiot it doesnt diminish the quality of the first 2 albums.

I'm an atheist but they're one of the rare bands were i have really found myself in the lyrics...My Own Prison,One,Faceless Man,etc...great,personal stuff.

And plus they're one of the few bands that made it to the big stage by continuously playing at smal venues in Tallahassee for years before they actually got signed after a guy from Wind-Up saw them at a concert..so they were one of the last big Rock bands that made it through their songs not by MTV.

Creed's Human Clay sold over 11,5 million copies in the USA.

Blackbird sold 230.000.

When you're accustomed to be a Rock star and play in front of millions of people like Woodstock 99'...i don't think you will take lightly such underwhelming responce and sales.

Creed is a brand name...they released a Greatest Hits abum after they broke up and it has already sold 2 million copies while their other albums also continue to sell.

Such a tour can be very,very lucrative...and with Kennedy's tour with Led Zep it can bring more exposure to Alter Bridge which the band clearly lacks.
 
All I know of em was Scott Stapp can't play poker worth a damn.
 
I always get Creed confused with Coldplay.

because they both start with C and they both suck.
 
Alter Bridge is just about the epitome of underperformance. Their cd sales for THIS BAND just dont warrant them being a headlining band. I remember a few years ago a band I was touring with did a festival with them, and the band I was with had outsold Alter Bridge about 2 to 1, yet because they were in Creed Alter Bridge requested (and got) a later timeslot.

It doesnt matter what Tremonti has said in the past, or even today...money talks, and promoters are sick of giving Alter Bridge headlining money and not seeing people buy tickets. Less money for Alter Bridge means Creed reunion.
 
I kinda knew they get back together eventually.

I know i'm gonna take a lot crap for this, but i like Creed and i'm glad they are. They were one of my fave bands and i have all their cds. So i hope its true.
 
I cant stand Creed...and I never could.

However, if you used to like Creed, and still do...then I can respect that more than someone who liked them when it was fashionable but now doesnt because they arent. This whole "I changed my tastes" line is bs, since millions of peoples taste in music seems to shift every time the media picks a new trend.

I remember Rage Against The Machine getting booed off the stage as an opening act, and then returning to the same arena as a headliner a few months later (on the same cds tour) and getting cheered by the exact same people who were booing them the first time. I just cant respect the tastes of people like that.

Notice you never hear "I used to like Creed but now I like The Horrorpops, or !!! or Drive By Truckers", or any other band that isnt on the radio.
 
I mostly jusr listen to alot of the older groups like creed, rage and SOAD among others. I don;t listen to much new music. Unless its from an artish i like or know already.
 
Creed still is one of my favorite bands of all time. I don't care what anyone says, they were and are very talented. They became successful with a brand of music that NO ONE thought would get them as much popularity as they did.

It's interesting when bands reunite because no matter how many times they say "It'll never happen.", eventually in the long run it does happen because they've spent many years together, travelled the world, made great music, and have a strong fanbase that can't be ignored. Iron Maiden went through it, Van Halen went through it(Now if they just stop being pricks and bring Michael Anthony back), Judas Priest went through it, and I'm sure Nightwish will reunite in the future too.

Overall I am glad Creed may reunite. Here's hoping it opens up the possibility of a new album.

And I'm a huge fan of Scott's solo album and Alter Bridge. Anyone who says Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips, and Brian Marshall can't play need to listen to Alter Bridge's second album and watch their live performances.

My sentiments exactly, Sunrise.

Unfortunately Brian Marshall left the band due to causing some controversy with Pearl Jam fans. He stated "Eddie Vedder wishes he could write songs like Scott."

That caused a HUGE uproar and Brian left the band after that. I think they just got tired of being accused of stealing from Pearl Jam, copying Eddie Vedder, and one of them just snapped in hopes of making the Pearl Jam fans shut up.

Overall I don't know if it's true or not, but if they reunite I'll be happy.

Remember Eddie Van Halen said he'd never work with Sammy Hagar or David Lee Roth again and look what happened.

That's extemely well put. I own Scott Stapps one solo record. and i've been a fan of theirs ever since the first single "Torn"
 
@Marx and Apatow- I definitely agree. People seem to forget that Creed became popular in a time where bands like Korn, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, and etc were either huge or becoming huge. Now don't get me wrong I do like old Korn, Slipknot, and some Marilyn Manson. However you had them taking the majority of the airwaves from radio, MTV, and VH1. Add to the fact that the whole teeny bopper bubble gum pop was making a huge impact as well.

Creed could've been another flash in the pan with their brand of music. But they managed to overcome those obstacles and become of the the biggest rock bands in music history. Regardless of what haters believe, hear, or read, Creed IS one of the biggest rock bands in music history.
 
Creed was the most awesome Pearl Jam tribute band ever!

jag
 
Terrorism, War, Genocide, Global warming and Creed.

What are crappy things the world could do without?

christian bands.... why do they think Jesus would like their music??? plus... Scott Stapp was never a drunk... he would take 3 shots of Jagger before a show... ummm that is breakfast for real rock stars.
 
I would rather shove a fork in my ear than listen to Creed.

It has nothing to with them being Christian in influence. Several self-defined Christian bands are at least tolerable to listen to, if I don't pay attention to the words they are singing. However, Creed's lead singer has an annoying voice and most of their songs are poorly written and performed, so I have very little patience for this one particular band.

I know what you mean. One of the only christian bands I ever like was a band called Believer. They rip!

Plus their singer's voice totally sucks too. It reminds me of that MadTV skit where him and Eddie Veder are fighting about who sings better.
