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

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

- 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.

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.

Even Scott Stapp hates Scott Stapp.

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.

Brisk.

Scott stapp thinks he Mr VEdder

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...

Bullets
Broken Wings (By AlterBridge)
*Gets out the Greatest Hits CD*
uuuummm.. most stuff on here... What's wrong with it?

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.

Don't hold back. Just tell us what you really think.

Wow.. I just realized why I don't have a bad opinion of creed... it's becuase I heard creed and bought their CDs way before I even knew of Pearl Jam. I always thought Eddie kinda sounded like Scott... Know i'm starting to think Scott sounds like Eddie.. hmmm..

Creed, whenever they existed, sounded fake and overproduced, and they sucked live, and they also brokeup.

They hurt my ears.

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.

omg...if i hated them before I DESPISE THEM NOW!!!!

Jooooosh

It's not so much the poor musicianship that does it for me, it's the fact that they gained popularity by ripping off other bands.

g under p

It's odd when they were together I wasn't into them but now that there not together I like their music more since they don't tour anymore. Don't hate em just like em every now and then.

Here's my two cents...

For those of you who jumped on the bandwagon of critics that claimed Creed a Pearl Jam ripoff, listen to the music!!! Pearl Jam's music is pretty much classic rock, 70's style rock like Led Zeppelin and Neil Young, whereas Creed played arena rock and was more like Anthrax or Metallica. If anything, I think the closest band you can compare Creed to would be Live, but Throwing Copper shits on everything Creed did.

I think Creed wrote some decent music, but Scott Stapp IS a douchebag.

Pearl Jam fucking rocks.

End of story.

Jooooosh

Creed sounded nothing like metallica or anthrax.
The main difference being anthrax and metallica (well, James and the 3 most recent bassists) possessed talent.
Anthrax was just good ol' trash metal until John Bush joined, then they became more of a Pantera rip-off since thrash was about dead by then.
And Metallica was thrash up until ajfa/black album where they became pretty much a typical hard rock band.

Its Evolution Baby

Thats funny you say that bc the first time I heard Creed the DJ introduced it by saying "Here's a band that reminds me the most of Metallica in a long time." And then crappy ass My Own Prison came on the radio and I wanted to jam an Icepick in my ears.

IMO Creed ripped off the sound of Ten and Core. Both of those albums were masterpieces but were overproduced. If they had tried to rip off Vs and Purple they would have been a better band. By better I mean below average instead of worst band I have ever heard.
