Love or hate Creed, you can't deny that after the attack, this performance was what we needed to start healing. Creed were heroes on this days.

there's something abt Stapp's performance which really reminds me of some extremely bad acting you might see on a basic cable tv show, from an actor who knows he's very good looking and just every single look and expression is an overemphatic and false, just an absolute masterclass in unctuousness.

I interviewed Stapp and Tremonti (and their producer, John Kurzweg) some years ago, when their debut album turned 20. They were all nice guys, and interesting to talk to.

I saw Creed live once. it wasn't necessarily "on purpose", because they were opening for Metallica (very odd lineup of Sevendust, Kid Rock, Creed, then...Tallica). he did some bullshit spiritual philosophy crap between each song.

but, at the time, they only had two albums, and...I still kinda like My Own Prison, so...it wasn't the worst thing I ever heard.

well...except for the lyrics. and Stapp

back in I think 1999, when Yahoo was still doing live chats with bands where you could log in and submit your questions and listen to the audio of them answering, I asked Scott what he thought of his comparisons to Eddie Vedder, and he said "Oh I kick his ass completely, he doesn't even do the same voice on any of his albums", and giggling about how awesome he was vocally.

someone snuck in the question "what Creed song would be on the compilation 'crap songs of our time'" and then Stapp got mad that the moderator let that one through

then he answered "none because Creed is not crap you see"

On July 19, 2023, the band announced that they had reunited and would be headlining the Summer of '99 cruise in April 2024. On October 30, 2023 the band announced The Summer of '99 Tour, with more than 40 shows across the US for the first time in 12 years with special guests 3 Doors Down as direct support on a majority of the tour, with Finger Eleven, Daughtry, Switchfoot, Tonic and Big Wreck joining the band on select dates.

With any luck, the ship will hit an iceberg.

3 Doors Down will donate $5 to the military every time they boff a chord change

haha who the fuck is finger eleven

Nabbed $28 presale tickets to the Southern California stop. ("Summer of $19.99" deal) I'm pretty stoked.

I don't know a lot about Finger Eleven, but I do know that the band's original name was

Rainbow Butt Monkeys

and that Paralyzer (2007) was a huge hit in Canada and can still be heard on Canadian radio quite frequently.

Haha, I knew someone who shelled out for the cruise. He shared vids & pics on FB all weekend.

So...many...wallet chains.
