Creed wasn't that bad.
I just listened to some of thier songs I had stashed away and I wondered why they got so much negative shit said about them. They were a decent band IMO. People said they copied Pearl Jam but I still don't see it.

The only thing I truly hated about Creed was Scott Fucking Stapp.

I like Stapp's voice but yeah he comes off like a prick. Still had good songs though.
Alter Bridge are awesome though. |

Creed sounded very much like Pearl Jam. To call them a rip off, though, is to ignore the way music works. Unless they were stealing songs from PJ. I don't know, I can't remember them writing anything that bad.
Anyway, Stapp's voice is good, but the songs themselves were shite. |

I thought he sounded a lot like the guy from Pearl Jam. I don't mind a couple songs of theirs.

To be fair Pearl Jam don't exactly have a trademark sound, beyond Eddie Vedder's vocals, their albums are all pretty different, the latest one being no exception

To be honest, you don't have to sound the same on every record to have a trademark sound. Queen did it. Compare any two albums that were more than one apart from each other, and you'll be hard pressed to find records that "sound the same." You still have a Queen sound. Take Pink Floyd. Their records were always evolving, but they really do have a trademark sound. Take the Beatles. Take AC/DC, even, a band not particularly known for a progressive nature. |

I'm just glad everyone here is seeming to say that Pearl Jam is a better band than Creed.
Thank you. |

They didnt sound at all like PJ. If they did, you'd be insulting PJ.
Seriously, Stapp only sounded like Vedder because Stapp constantly used the tone of voice Eddie would only use sometimes, if that makes sense..like on the song "once". Stapp tried to use that gurgling, growling type of tone. It sounded pretty forced. |

"Well I just heard...the news today. Seems my career...is gonna stiiiiink. With arms wide open..."
Yeah...so how much sales did Stapp's solo album make? I think there was more interest in his and Kid Rock's porn tape than for Stapp's solo CD. I think Stapp should've released that instead, I mean it's not like it's going to harm his career or anything. |

I'm a big PJ fan, the only reason Creed pisses me off is when Stapp said "Eddie vedder wishes he could write a song as good as scott stapp" Or something like that.
But usually I like Creed and Scott Stapps voice. I like PJ better though. |

I love Alter Bridge, Edge's theme is great.
and they have alot of other songs I like. Creed, Imo was not that bad, I liked most of there songs Bullets and Freedom Fighter probabily were my favs. But they have some of the best slow dance songs ever. My Sacrifice, One Last Breath, With Arms Wide Open, Higher. Shit thinking about these songs brings back alot of memorys of dances I went to, and the fact that most girls like those songs, and if its a girl you like the fact that most are 5 minutes plus isn't bad either ![]() And I didn't really mind Scotts voice, and I don't listen to much PJ so I can't voice an opinion on that. |

I liked every Creed Song I liked because of Tremonti. I always thought he was holding back.
Then we get Altar Bridge and... he was DEFINITELY Holding Back. |

Well, I remember after going to the Kroq Weenie Roast in CA in 2000, a friend of mine that was backstage said that Scott Stapp was a complete total prick. He had an area sectioned off that not even other musicians were allowed access too. The whole "Creed is better than you and I write better songs than Jesus Christ" attitude. Fuck that guy. I liked their first album, but as soon as they got radio success they just cookie cut every goddamn song to sound the same IMO. Pretty much like Staind.
