    I don't listen to Pearl Jam... I really LISTEN to Pearl Jam...

    I just wanted to know why there are so many Pearl Jam fans that are full of hatred towards Creed...

    Is it true that Creed have sold more than Pearl Jam? I'm talking about their albums, they have all gone multi platinum...

    (PS! I don't like Creed... anymore... don't kill me..)

    Should someone (not) listen to Metallica because they have been known to aid the RIAA in the suing of music fans for downloading music?

    Listen to whatever you like. Rap, blues, country, rock, oldies. Just be aware that where you go, you may get shit for it. Is the shit deserved? Probably not. As long as someone likes Pearl Jam, they're ok for this forum and that's what counts.

    I'm not getting into an argument over whether Creed sucks. They just do, for lots of reasons. I put them slightly ahead of Limp Bizcut, but only slightly.

    You can listen to Creed. I dont care. There's no law against it, and many people seem to.

    Don't expect many around here to agree with you.





    and Scott does a horrible imitation of Eddie

    I did get a bit of joy watching Eddie kick the shit out of Staap for stealing his voice on Celebrity Deathmatch once.

    I don't dislike Creed because of the PJ comparisons (though they used to drive me nuts). they have some good riffs and stuff. but Stapp's voice is just terrible and his lyrics are cheesy. they, like Limp Bizket, is a band that was popular in the 90's for about 3 or 4 years but now all you could is look back on them at laugh and the people who bought their albums.

    In the context of being a "hard core Pearl Jam fan", yes it's wrong.
    You can't call yourself a HARD CORE Yankees fan and also like the Red Sox.
    Sorry, I realize it may seem unfair and childish, but that's just the way it is. You can like Creed and still be a Pearl Jam fan, but you're not HARD CORE.

    I hope you are kidding. I hope you really hate Creed and just posted this so that people would entertain you by telling you everything that sucks about Creed. Creed is a horrible band that is the antithesis of what PJ stands for. Therefore, if you're a hardcore PJ fan, you should hate Creed.
    1. They talk shit on PJ- their former drummer who was kicked out of the band said that Creed's lead singer was a 10x better song writer than Ed and that someone should teach Ed how to write a chorus. This was circa 2000 when they Creed was at their peak. The band apologized for the comments, realizing that most of their audience were PJ fans. I guarantee their lead singer was partially behind the comments. Scott Stapp right? He turned out to be an egomaniacal burnout. The rest of the band hates him.
    2. They did the exact opposite of what PJ did as far as handling their career--too much exposure, too many videos, too much partying. Their lead singer turned into a drunk.
    3. Their music is soooooooooo self rightious and annoying. Their lead singer's voice (many say it's a bad Ed imitation) is like nails on a chalkboard.
    4. Christian rock? C'mon.

    I hope you're kidding and I hope I've entertained you.

    ...I would rather cut my ears of slowly then ever listen to a creed song again. Scott Stapp is proof that god wants to punish humanity.

    It's not wrong that you listen to Creed, you can listen to whoever you like...

    HOWEVER

    Most people will tell you that they suck and should'nt be on the same Ipod as Pearl Jam

    Most people don't give a shit about Pearl Jam, and probably would have preferred that Creed was in their Ipod during their heyday. Now, neither of the bands are in "most people's" Ipods.

    I can't help hating threads like these...Creed is not Satan for God's sake and not worse than Bon Jovi, Justin Timberlake or Missy Elliot - c'mon people stop writing bullshits about Creed - you all should get bored by the constant ridiculous Creed bashing! Personally I would hate to read shits like these about PJ on other boards so please guys let's just FINALLY try to focus on music we all like here!

    In order from best to worst:

    Justin
    CREED
    Missy
    They're worse than 2 out of the 3 you mentioned. If you held a gun to my head and forced me to choose, I would listen to Creed over Missy.

    Not me. I think there needs to be MORE Creed bashing.

    Any time i've seen Pearl Jam mentioned on another artist's message board, they've always been given mad props. I would imagine if you went on a Creed message board or a Missy Elliot board, those people might have something negative to say about Pearl Jam. But they clearly don't know anything about music in the first place, so thier comments should be dismissed as lies / propaganda.

    Not gonna happen. Dude, don't be the guy who comes on the message board and tries to talk sense into everybody.
    If we didn't focus on utter garbage once in a while, there would be no basis for comparison to show how good Pearl Jam is.
