I grew up listening to Creed... they used to be my favorite band... not so much now.. but I still don't mind them. Why so much hate for Scott Stapp? And do the people that hate Creed also hate alterbridge? I like the songs...

    I'm guessing it's because of these things:

    - Wanted to be Eddie
    - He's a wife beater
    - A drug addict
    - Cocky
    - Pretends he is Jesus Christ
    - Tried miserably to hit on the wives of Chad and Pnut from 311
    - Tight Leather pants


    He really should just move to Reno. He'd work in the Golden Nugget and do Pearl Jam and STP covers all night in the lounge.

    This thread reminds me of a t-shirt I saw once:

    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    -Tom Waits

    ^Good Points^

    But I thought people like bad ass musicians... Also... I don't let what the musicians do effect how I judge their music... Every band has their flaws

    Scott Stapp is a Bad musician, not a bad ass one.

    The bass player for Creed once said in an interview that "Eddie Vedder wishes he could write songs as good as Scott Stapp".....we've been on the warpath ever since.

    id say most likely cause they suck. . .and cause stapp worships at the feet of ed but doesnt acknowledge it. . .pearl jam can look at creed and see what there future might have been if they had done all the videos, all the marketing crap, all the stuff that generally makes bands sell out. . .its almost like a dickens novel

    I'm sorry, I realize that they have fans that love them and enjoy their tunes, I mean how else to explain them making it up the charts? But my first reaction on seeing them was to pick up something to throw at the tele and everytime I hear that man attempt to sing I just want to stick a screwdriver in my ear. Their music has the same affect on me that horrific news stories or fingernails on a blackboard do. I just don't like them.
    NOPE!!!

    Well I do have a friend here who likes to torment me by singing, "What if?" in his very best Scott voice just to watch me lose it in a bad way!! :D:o

    I'd say my reaction to Creed is not unsimilar to my reaction to Michael Myers or tripe!!! :eek:
    NOPE!!!

    I hate him too. But to be fair, those above probably describes hundreds if not thousands of rocks singers throughout the decades. Actually, that's pretty much the stereotype of a rock singer, so I could hardly begrudge him on that.

    Because he sings with a lame, phony voice...sounds like a Muppet Show version of Eddie Vedder.

    Who knows? Had Pearl Jam not turned away from the mainstream and released "No Code", maybe there would be no Creed. I'll allow it though because their best work has come since staying from the mainstream---even if it means having to put up with bands like Creed and Nickelback.

    Of course that's the reason! I'm sure it has nothing to do with how shitty and generic Creed's music is....

    Watching the video with him almost getting whacked by meteorites is quite funny. Hopefully the meteorites will have more luck next time.

    I didn't know he was supposed to be a wife beater!

    I don't know him so I will let that go straight over my head.

    I think Creed are just boring. They seem to me to be a cheaper, watered down version of Pearl Jam. :)

    Dudes, I like their music. Tremonti is awesome. Sure the rest maybe be dicks (what the hell is the bass player on about, Eddie eats Scott Stapp for breakfast).

    But whatever.

    1 million points for bravery mate. i salute you. honestly.


    creed are most probably not as bad as everyone on here makes them to be. thing is they are rip off artists and because of their songs flooding rock radio (a while back) pearl jam got flamed for it :eek: yip, tough crowd. but this is most probably the biggest reason why you'll find such an intolerable demeanour towards creed and especially stapp on this board.

    I remember first coming to this board and reading a couple of the 'I hate Creed' Threads, and I thought to myself "They can't be that bad", so I downloaded a couple of songs (can't remember which ones). Turns out they really were that bad. I promptly deleted them from my PC. I just think they suck donkey balls. Stapps voice is more annoying than Jude Law's face. They are painful to listen to, mainly because of the voice. Tremonti is a decent guitarist, but in that band the music was very generic and boring, made ultra crap by stapp.
